John Sherman writes a very loving epistle to the New Yorkers about Their great city and its destiny. We believe John is a candidate for some thing. Congress appropriated $190,000 to meet expenditures at the Paris Expo-1 anion. It is remarkable enough to I - I record that between $10,000 and I $11,000 remain on hand.

It is a healthy sign, bat this did not take place while the old hater was alive and kicking. The last week of the year is full of tragic incidents, and two wars are threatening to disturb tbe peace of 1880 tbe war with the Indians and the Blaine rebellion. "Let us have peace." There is a lively oontest over the U. S. Senatorship in Mississippi. Barksdale and Singleton are the com petitors to succeed the "dark horse," who will complete his race on March 4, 1880 Bruce by name. It is Jhonght Singleton's chances are the best. A man named D. A.

A deseriotion says: ) For fifty feet his body dropped like a nlummet. turned over twice, and then struck tbe water with a sharp slap that sent ih tnm htffh into the air. It disappeared only for a moment, sod on eoming to. the aurfaca floated wife the head poi oping to ward the falls, and lira white face appear ing above the water. There were too signs of life, and death must have resulted from the terrible collision with tbe watc -m-r --r-rrrM ,.,. -MaaMBwaaaaiaaaaaaa I M ki VIII t X 1 X I J- rN7 I A O VOL. XXV. NO. 84. The telegraph announced the death of William Hepworth Dixon, one of the most entertaining of recent Eng- U8u authors, lie waa the writer of histories and of books ol travel, and all were enjoyable lie was born in Yorkshire in 182 1. He waa for some - . T , years the editor of . the London Athenmum, one of the beat of the Jtogusu literary weeklies. We copy from an exchange the following, which gives his chief works, if not all: " 'Personal History of Lord Bacon.' the 'Lives of the Archbishops of York,' the 'Holy Land,' and 'New America.' In 1868 he published 'Spiritual Wives.' which was soon followed by 'Free Russia.' 'Her Ma jesty's Tower,' the 'S wit zero,' and tbe 'His tory of Two Queens; Catherine of Arragon and Anne Boleyn,' His most notable'book concerning American subjects is 'White Conquest,' published in two targe volumes." One work of his which we have read, not mentioned in' the above, is his defence of William Penn, it being a reply to Lord Haoaulay's strictures as contained in his splendid historical torso. His "New America" is well worth reading. He throws conside rable light on a phase or two of New England society. When one remembers the experi ences of the Democrats in the Elec toral Commission business, and the 8 to 7 count, it is a little bit cool in ex Senator Morrill to invite Gov. Garce lon to go before a Republican Su preme Court to decide a question in volving election returns. This is the way the Philadelphia Record regards it and sayts: "Tbe Supreme Court Judges of Maine are cvety man of lbt.ni Republicans, and they owe their places to the Republican party. Tbe questions they would be called upon to arbitrate are of a political char acter, it would be bard for them to lorgel partisan interests in deciding them. Judges are only men . The superstitious reverence which once enveloped the judicial office witb tbe glamor ot infallibility bas been rudely dispelled by loo many melancholy iustauues ot infirmity, cowardice and cor ruption on the part of those who wear the uictapii rical ermine Tbe temptation in tui - case would be great." Nu man can read the Republican paper just uuw without hearty Uis- gust. As tar as we have noticed they justify the oourse of the Bangor mob. The New York Journal of Commerce, a paper of honesty and convictions and independence, says most truly of the threatened insur rection : 'Tbe fact that it is approved and de- tended by Republican louruals and ooeak- ers outside of tbe excited community where tt occurred, shows the arrogance and self- justiflcation in wrongdoing wbicb axe born of a long lease or power unscrupulously exercised. If the position of the parties were reversed in that Slate, the General Go vernment would have been called upon for troops to aid in the suppression of that 'rebellious and treasonable' demonstration, and to escort tbe arms to the capitol. " Hart, or the "Smoked irish man," as be is called, in the six days' walking-matoh in New York that ended Saturday night last, beat Rowell's time, and made a score ahead of all others with the exception of Weston's in London in 1879.

The New York Sun tells a very dif ferent story. Not only Belknap, bat another fellow of Grant's cabinet, more corrupt bat 'smarter; Robeson, once Secretary of the Navy, had a long private conference with their old boss. The Sun well says: "tirants managers nave growu more confident than they were. They no longer pay tbe public tne poor compliment of keeping these men in tbe background un til after the nomination. 'They are brought lo-tue rroor, wnere tney really belong, and bencerortn mere wu De no attempt at con cealment." The farmers are indeed the back bone and stay of a country. In the South fortunately they are the con trolling power iu politics. The pro ducts of American farms for 1879 are valued at $1,904,480,650. That is to say, they are three times more than the manufactures, great as they are. It is a little singular that the latter must be nursed at the expense, of the former. Why not have a tariff to protect the farmers ? What say the manufacturers ? A special to the Baltimore Sun of December 27 tb, says: "Yesterday, in a shooting affray at Staun ton, Va., between a railroad conductor and' an engineer, names not ascertained, both emptied nve-snooters. One was struck: tnree tunes ana tne outer once, and both are badly wounded, but may recover." WILMINGTON, N. Col. John P. Mines, a Federal sol dier in tbe war, is anxious to lecture in the South on his "Prison Expe rience in Libby." He is a warm friend of the South, but his best chance of doing good is to talk to his own people who do not understand the "true inwardness' of prison life in the South.

Raleigh News: A negro man, I ?eV Winston, recently purchased a farm for $1,100, paid $900 in cash, and raised tobacco this year to the value of $800. He has now ten large barns ready for the ware house. He sold his most inferior barn this week for $75. New Berne Democrat: Notioing the reports of the criminal courts of Phila delphia, of the 22nd inst., we were struck with the fact that about one third of tbe culprits were put down as colored. Nearly the whole criminal class in North Carolina are negroes, but it seems that the Northern darkeya are no better, or else the thieves up that way are masquerading at the expense of the black folks. , Raleigh Visitor: Two colored brothers tried to kill each other in front of Christ Church, with sticks and palings. We were shown a small flannel under shirt Saturday, said to have been Gen. La Fay ette's when a boy. He gave it to Judge Nash when he visited Raleigh in 1812. Nine drunks and down and several assault and battery cases, and two cases of larceny have engaged His Honor's atten tion since the holidays. Raleigh Observer: About 150 exodusters from Kinston, LaGrange, Fall ing urees ana Kocxy Mount, went North last night by the midnight train. Accom modations on the Atlantic road had to be refused to many because their baggage could not be stored. Oxford corres pondence: We learn that the dwelling house of Mr. La wson Kn ott, of Gran vil le, was con sumed by fire on the 23d inst. The fire was accidental. Mr. Knott only saved a very small quantity of his furniture. His house was insured in tbe .North Carolina Home for six hundred dollars. Oxford is be ing rapidly filled up with new comers from this State and Virginia, and the cry is still they come. Raleigh Visitor: Mr. Ander son Page, of House's Creek Township, this county, wbo is ninety-rour years old, gave an entertainment to his grand children last Wednesd y night at his residence. On 8und..y morning last, Jesse Vandergrift, a colored man, aged about fifty-one years, was round dead in tbe front room of the shop occupied by Henderson- Cain, on Wilmington street. Cause, liquor.

Oar military-Let Semathlne e Dona to Sustain Them-Threatened PU bandment or tbe Cape Fear X.lgbt Artillery. ' . Our attention has been called to tbe lan guishing condition of our military compa nies, and more especially to that of the Cape Fear Light Artillery. This company was organized in 1875, and since that time the individual members of the company have been to a great deal of expense in order to keep it up. The labor incident to an or ganization of this particular character is pretty heavy, and as a necessity the uni- forms are nearly all worn out, and many of them do not feel themselves able to procure A of the .j,- of wiimine. ton ahnuiri he Me to sustain at least three ftrR,iMa wh5t4 mimarv cbmoanies. All of us would like to see these military compa nies kept up and the splendid guns of the Artillery retained in Wilmington. Now, in order to insure all this, our citizens of means must come to the rescue with mate rial aid. The Artillery Company must have new uniforms and means sufficient to provide them with a suitable armory. Their guns and caisons are now. standing in the public streets in consequence of the fact that the room formerly used as an armory has been let to another tenant, and we learn that they are to be parked in the City Hall yard. On all occasions of a public character, when the Cape Fear Light Artillery Company have been called upon to fire a salute they have been quick to respond. On two or more occasions they have assisted in this way in the proper observance of Memorial Day. Let the public, therefore, come up manfully to the aid of our military companies, and on no account let the necessity arise for the dis- bandmcnt of the Light Artillery company and the surrender of their guns, a result which is already threatened. Finding tbe Body of anllulant. A colored woman was out cutting wood just beyond the southeastern limits of the city, near Jumping Run, yesterday morn ing, when she discovered a spot where the ground hid been considerably disturbed recently, as if something bail neen buried there, and upon probing about with her axe finally came upon wooden box. Her first impression was tat she had bit upon a big "bonanza" in tbe shape of a box oi money, but upon removing the lid she found that the contents was nothing more nor less than a young baby, wbicb had been buried only a little Over afoot, beneath the surface of the ground. She immediately came to town and reported the circumstance, when Spe cial Coroner A. H. Leslie summoned a jury and held an inquest over the remains, which proved to be those of ap infant, sup posed to be white. The verdict of the jury was, that it was placed there by some un known person, and that the cause of death was unknown to tbe jury. All tbe Way from Zololana. Capt Walker, of the British brig Maria Lamb, which arrived here from Port Natal, Zululand, on Monday, was exhibiting to his friends yesterday one of the famous Zulu staffs, which was picked up on the battle-field, and which is said to have pierced the body of a young British lieu tenant two days before the Prince Imperial was killed. These staffs are of wood, tip ped with poisoned steel, the poisonous sub stance being beaten into the steel. Even a scratch on the hand is said to be dangerous, and the person receiving such a wound is usually put to a great deal of trouble to get rid of it. The one in question, which at tracts a great deal of attention, has been relieved of its poisonous properties Capt. Walker ssys he enjoyed tbe ac- I quaintance of the Prince Imperial money Dlege r a. Yesterday morning, while Mr. J. F. Stolter, in company with his insurance agent, was examining into the damage sus tained by his building by tbe fire of Sun day morning last, a little boy found under the house, near where the fire was first dis- .a covered, an iron rod, abour hve feet in length, such as is commonly used by "money diggers" in their searches after buried treasure. Mr. Stolter says he run off a party who were digging for money under this house on one occasion, and has had several applications from colored peo ple since for permission to try their luck there. It is likely that some one was en gaged in probing for moaey pots under the house (which is unoccupied) Saturday night, and that it was through some carelessness on their part that fire was set to the build ing.

The Board of Aldermen met in called session last night, at 7.30 o'clock. All the members of tbe Board were present, Mayor Fisbblate presiding. Tbe Mayor stated that he had called the meeting for tbe purpose of making some necessary amendments to the tax ordinance passed at the last meeting of the Board, and also for the purpose of Considering the pe- I tition of Mr. Henry Nutt. The tax ordinance was amended by in serting January 9th instead of January 15th, and February 9th in the place of Feb ruary 15tb, so that the thirty days' notice shall commence on January 9tb, 1880, and the sale of real estate for taxes shall begin on tbe 9th of February, 1880. m tr ; at - n xne mayor men announceu mat tnei Board was ready to take up the case of Mr. - Nutt, and Mr. Junius Davis, one of the I counsel for that gentleman, came forward and read Mr. Nutt's petition and tbe affida vits accompanying the same. Mr. Davis stated that he.with Mr. George Davis, bad been Mr. Nutt's counsel through the whole suit, and that he desired to state a few facts in connection with the matter. He explained the nature of the suit, and ar gued in favor of the Board compromising the judgment with Mr. Nutt. Mr. Cutlar, former City Attorney, stated that he was still of the opinion that the Board had no right to make any compro mise of tbe judgment with Mr. Nutt. Col. D. E. McRae, of counsel for Mr. Nutt, argued in favor of tbe right of the Board to compromise tbe judgment, and stated that Mr. Nutt was ready to pay half the amount of the judgment; otherwise, he would move for a new trial, which, in view of tbe new facts comprised in tbe affidavits presented to the Board, he had no doubt would be granted. Mr. Darby, City Attorney, being present, was requested to give the Board his views m rr ... . . . , i . I of tbe cose. He stated that be hod looked in vain for authority by which this Board might relieve or compromise with Mr. Nutt, and still held to bis opinion that tbe matter was beyond its control Alderman Bowden moved that the whole matter be referred back to the City Attor ney for collection. Alderman Planner moved to amend so that tbe City Attorney be instructed to col lect tbe principal of tbe claim, $ 1,775 and costs only, and called for the ayes and nays. The amendment of Alderman Flanner was adopted by tbe following vole Ayes Mayor Fishblate and Aldermen Flanner, Myers, Foster, King, Hill 6. Nays Aldermen Bowden, Vollers, Von Glahn 3.
