General Grant is to receive no

It is estimated that five hundred
thousand people witnessed the Grant
procession in Philadelphia.
The South Carolina Legislature, at
its late session, created a Department
of Agriculture and elected Mr. A. P.
Butler as Commissioner.
Tbe last we have seen about Gen.
Mali one is from a Republican source.
He is to act with the Republicans iu
the Senate, or independently of the
Democrats.
Representative Miles Ross, New
Jersey's solitary Democratic mem
ber, is for Tilden for President. He
says be will be nominated. Bnt does
Miles know?
The Solons of South Carolina have
gone home, having adjourned sine
die. Tbe session lasted but thirty
days. That, is a good example for
all the States.
The Indianians do not relish the
negro exodus as muob as some pre
tend. A well known and influential
Republican politician of Central In
diana writes tP a gentleman in Wash
ington: "For every ten negro voters
imported we shall lose a hundred
whites."
The Senate of Spain has passed a
bill abolishing slavery in the island

der which the jurisdiction of courts
martial is considerably extended.
:a The Boston Post is the old Demo
cratic paper of New England that has
done so much effective service for its
party and has never wavered in its
devotion to principles. It is inter
esting to know how it views matters
in Maine. It says:
"The wrong practised in 1870 does not
justify imitation, however severe the pro
vocation or tempting the occasion. Our
friends in Maine must be aware that tbe
entire country is now watching the course
01 events there. The popular win can
never be thwarted with impunity."

Gen. Charles P. Kingsbury died
on Christmas day, at his residence in
Brooklyn, New York, aged about 01.
He went to West Point from the Ox
ford district, although a native of
Way ne county, New York. He was
the ablest, the most highly cultivated,
tbe most gifted man of his name, so
far as the writer knows. He had
been a member of the Presbyterian
Church for quite a quarter of a cen
tury. He married in Fayetteville
He was graduated at W est Point in
1840, taking number two in a large
class. Ho was the author of a treatise
on artillery tactics which was long
the text-hook at West Point.. He
was Geu. Taylor's aid at the battle
of Buersa Vista, and is mentioned
specially by him in his official report,
lie belonged to the Ordnance Corps
and bad but little chance' of distinc
tion. He was an exceedingly brilliant
and able writer, contributing largely
to the leading periodicals of the
country. Ilia published criticisms
and literary papers of different kinds
would make many volumes if gath
ered. There was never a greater mistake
for any man io commit than for him
to have one set of morals as a citizen
and family-man, and another set of
principles and morals as a politician.
A politician who is dishonest is none
too good to play the same game with
his fellows in the business affairs of
life. VV ben tbe honest men of the
couutry combine in favor of honesty
among officials there will be fair deal
ing at tbe polls and in the after-count.
The Richmond State gives two ex
amples of unusual conscientiousness.
We Copy:
"Honest men everywhere are beginning
to -refuse in wages of fraud, which, we
take it, is a hopeful sign of the future of
tbe country. It was first a Conservative,
Griffin, in Virginia, whj would not accept
a place to which he believed his Republican
competitor bad been elected, notwithstand
ing the returns were counted in bis favor;
ami now a Republican in New Jersey has
followed bis example and refused to be a
party to a frauduicul or technical count in
his luvor. 1 bis is the true remedy for the
evih Let men set in their political as they
would in their private or business relations.
No honest man would knowingly be a re
ceiver or purchaser of stolen property, pass
a counterfeit bill or forged cheek, or cheat
his neighbor out of the value of a penny in
a trade, and yet many such Will connive at
election frauds upon tbe people and profit
by them without tbe least compunction of
conscience."
Samuel Perry and Taylor Evans,
colored school teachers and preachers,
are the agents used in the North
Carolina exodus. They are in Wash
ington and report that they have
found homes for 665 negroes, with
promised homes for 200 more. The
Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun reports as follows :
"Perrv baa lost returned from Indiana.
and says that the farmers about Terra Haute
want sixty families, and in Rockville fifty
families will be given work at good wages.
They have made an arrangement by which
the through fare has been reduced to Six
teen dollars from Goldsboro to Indianapolis,
and in order to prevent the scheme from
getting into bad odor they will not hereafter
admit to their colonies any persons who are
not able to pay their fare. Perry says that
the party that was here recently in such an
impecunious condition were not under their
care. They intend to canvass tbe State of
Indiana for places, and hope to take five
thousand colored people out there during
the next six months. They assert that they
will take out none who are not provided for
with labor in advance, and do not expect
any opposition from the people of Indiana.
The greatest demand is. for house servants,
and ferry says he could find places for five
thousand women if they were educated up
to lbs Northern system of domestic econ
omy, but he does not think a North Caro
lina plantation cook would suit an Indiana
mistress."
It is estimated that there has been
an increase of at least ten per oent.
in the industries of Richmond, Va.,
during the year. The increase in the
iron trade is one and a half million
dollars. Agricultural implements
$132,000. The leaf tobacco business
has been quite heavy, but not as
much so as it would have been but
for the f aot that the European mar
kets were overstocked by purchases
of former seasons. The increase of
the manufacturing trade is fifteen per
cent. One manufacturer alone has
made this year two billion cigarettes,
and shipped two million to European
markets.
t. Gov. Garcelon, in his reply to ex
Senator Morrill's letter proposing to
refer the matter io controversy to the
Supreme Court, says:
"Please to indicate the points that occur
to you which have not already been adju
dicated upon, and I doubt not that we may
be able to secure a satisfactory solution of
the doubtful complications; or, if not satis
factory, at least such as may be deemed
authoritative. Tbe fact to which you al
lude, that so large a number of Republican
members elect fail to receive certificates, is
due to the fact that so many municipal of
ficers failed to comply with the constitu
tional requirements, and which, by judicial
decision, tbe Governor and Council have
no authority to overlook. This condition
ot affairs is no fault of the Governor and
Council."
Morning!
WILMINGTON,
While scientists and unbelievers
are crying down Edison, his answer
to all his critics is that the lamps are
burning brightly. One light has been
steadily burning for five days. A
special to Philadelphia, on the 26tb,
says :
"At 9 o'clock this evening the eighty-horse-power
engine was at work, and the
chunky little generator was churning out
electricity. Two street electric lamps were
casting an orange glow upon tbe snowy
meadow in front of Mr. .Edison's private
office. Twenty odd electric lights were
burning in the Edison buildings. I: was a
whiter light than that in the street. It was
more like daylight. There was nothing
that could annoy the eye. The glow was
mild and steady. There was no flicker in
the airless globes, and the weakest-eyed
sewing woman could-' have taken her
stitches as easily as though she sat by a
window at noonday ."
The gas light managers express no
alarm. They -profess to believe some
how that, after all, Edison will fail.
But the great inventor says the elec
tric light is practically done, although
he is still experimenting with a view
of reducing its cost.
The New York World asked the
question if Horatio Seymour was
nominated if any one supposed that
Grant conld carry New York against
him. The Philadelphia Chronicle,
the leading Democratic paper of
Philadelphia, says Seymour. is an em
inent patriot and statesmen, and
that "there will be no better man
nominated." Correct, Mr. Chronicle.
The New York Tildehites want
the Democratic National Convention
to meet in that city. - John Kelly op
poses this movement vigorously. The
Tildenitee say it is impudent in Kelly
to have anything to say about it. A
man who received 77,000 votes for
Governor ought to be allowed to
speak bis mind.
Obsequies at Gen. Kingsbury.

ST. JOHN'S DAY.
Celebratloa by the Masonic Frater
nity If esierday Dedication of tbelr
Lot in Oakdale Cemetery-Addresses,
dec.
The Masonic fraternity ef Wilmington,
consisting of St. John's Lodge No. 1, and
WUmington Lodge No. 319, celebrated St.
John's' Day yesterday. The programme,
previously agreed up and published in our
Sunday's Issue, was carried out almost to
the letter. The members met at St. John's
Hall at 9f o'clock, and, after a brief -but
unavoidable delay, were formed in proces
sion by tbe Marshals, Messrs. John L.
Cantwell and John W. Perdew, and headed
by the Cornet Concert Club, took up its Jine
of march up Market street to the residence
of the orator of the. day, E. S. Martin,
Esq;, who was escorted to the carriage pre
pared for him, when the procession coun
termarched to Fourth street, up Fourth
to Campbell, and out Campbell to Oakdale
Cemetery, marching to the Masonic lot not
far from and almost immediately in front
of the entrance, and on the north side of
the avenue leading to the Confederate lot.
Here the officers and members of .the f ra
ternity took the stations assigned them., A
neat and substantial stand bad been erected
on the north side of the lot, fronting south,
and in this the Orator of the Day, the Chap
lain, members of the committee, and gen
tlemen of the choir took their seats. We
also noticed on the stand Fab. H. Busbee,
Esq., of Raleigh.
The exercises were opened by a dirge
from the band, after which the ceremony
of dedicating tbe lot was proceeded witb
by the officers of St. John's Lodge
No. 1, which included prayer by tbe
Chaplain, Rev. George Patterson, D.
D. , and the reading of tbe dedicatory
services by Worshipful Master W. R. Ke
nan, which was done in a very clear and
distinct voice.
The dedicatory exercises were very so
lemn, interesting and impressive, and were
listened to with much attention by those
present.
Next followed an ode by the choir,
consisting of Messrs. Robinson, Myers,
Bradley and Rankin, with Mr. Myers at the
organ, which was executed with much
skill and sweetness, and was followed by
a beautiful and impressive prayer, appro
priate to tbe occasion, by Kev. Dr. Patter
son, the Chaplain .
J. L Macks, Esq., then, in a few neat and
appropriate words, introduced tbe speaker,
E. S. Martin, Esq., remarking that one so
well known in our midst required but little
introduction.
Mr. Martin then arose and delivered one
of the best addresses of tbe kind to which
we have ever listened. Tbe principles of
masonry were pictured in glowing colors,
while the language of the speaker was both
beautiful and impressive, and his manner
graceful and attractive. Speaking in the
open air, with a stiff breeze of wind and
the glaring sunshine both in bis face, he
labored under no little disadvantage, but he
seemed not to regard it It is seldom that
we have listened to an address on any sub
ject that impressed us more favorably.
At the close of tbe speech the Worship
ful Master called for a tender of the Grand
Honors, which was done by the olapping
of bands by the members of the order.
Another dirge by the band, rendered with
excellent effect, and the pronouncing of
the benediction by tbe Chaplain, Rev. Dr.
Patterson, and tbe interesting services were
brought to a close, when tbe Marshals, in
obedience to directions from tbe Worship
ful Master, reformed the procession, which,
to tbe soul-inspiring music of the band
inarched back to the Lodge room, where
it was disbanded and the members dis
persed until the evening.
At half past 7 o'clock in the evening the
members of the two Lodges reassembled at
St. John's Hall, and forming in procession,
marched to tbe City Hall, preceded by the
Cornet Band.
At the Hall, after music by the band,
the ceremonies were opened by prayer
from Rev. E. A. Yates, an ode was sung
by the Glee Club, and the orator for the
occasion, Mr. Fab. H. Busbee, of Raleigh,
was introduced to tbe large audience of
ladies and gentlemen assembled, by Rev
Dr. Patterson.
The address of Mr. Busbee, pertaining
of course to matters relating to the Order,
was also highly entertaining and instruc
tive to tbe general audience, and was lis
tened to with profound, attention and in
terest. Graceful in manner and pleasing
in speech, bis eloquence impressed all,
while his fair presence no doubt captivated
tbe hearts of many of bis hearers. We re
gret that we are unable to give a synopsis
of the address.

Lost Tftelr Dinner.
On Sunday last, as Mr. Geo. F. TUley,
residing on Third, between Walnut and
Red Cross streets, was about to sit down to
dinner, together with bis family, they were
all called out for a few minutes in the
yard, leaving the house deserted. They
soon after returned to the dining room to
partake of the meal which had been pre
pared and placed upon the table, when they
discovered to their chagrin that some thief-
most probably a strolling tramp bad en
tered the house during their brief absence
and stolen their dinner, even to the empty-
ing of the butter dish, leaving only two or
three biscuits to the family with which to
stay their hunger until another meal could
be prepared. Entrance must have been
made through, one of the, side windows,
which was found open, as both the front
and back doors were locked, tbe only other
way of ingress and egress being. through
the kitchen, entering by which the thief
would have laid himself liable to certain
detection. It was a daring theft, commit
ted with wonderful speed and ezpertness, as
tbe family were absent from the room but
a few minutes.
Fire Sunday morning.
The house on the southeast corner of
Front and Ann streets, belonging to Mr.
F. Stolter, narrowly escaped destruc
tion by fire on Sunday morning last, about
half past 7 o'cloek. The fire seems to have
caught near the foundation on the north
sde of the building, thence blazing up be
tween the plastering and wealherboarding
nearly to the roof. The fire department
was quickly on the ground, when a por
tion of the weatberboarding was ripped off
and a stream of water gotten upou the
flames, which were quickly brought under I
control. Mr. Stolter estimates the damage
to the building to be in tbe neighborhood
of $600, ihe most of the plastering being
injured by the water. His loss is covered
by insurance in a company represented by
Messrs. DeRosset & Northrop. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by tbe igni
tion of matches by rats or mice.
Interesting Occasion.
A large congregation assembled on last
Sunday afternoon, at the Masonbaro Baptist
church, some six miles from the city, when
Rev. John H. Beasley was set apart to the
full work of the gospel ministry. Tbe or
dination sermon was preached by Rev. J.
B. Taylor, of this city, from Romans i:16,
"I am not ashamed to preach the gospel of
Christ." The ordaining prayer was made
by Rev. Mr. Edwards, of Sooth Carol i a a,
after which the right hand of fellowship
was given. A number of our citizens were
in attendance upon the solemn servicee
