Mr. Seymour has again been inter viewed relative to the nomination.' He was asked squarely if he would refuse if nominated unanimously. His reply was: "It would not do for me to. say now that would refuse the nomination under such circumstances, for if I did it might , be claimed 1 despaired of the success or my party in advance, and thus an injury might be done should some one else be nomi nated." Let the Democrats nominate the New York statesman, orator, and sage,and he will be elected and inaugu rated. If their object is to succeed then the course to be pursued is open and plain. The contested election case from Indiana is again up for consideration in the House. A new point has been sprung, .o wi, whether McCabe (Democrat) after allowing the pre scribed time to expire, shall now be permitted to present evidence in sup port of his claim to tbe seat held by Ortb. This case is specially impor tant because of the fact that a Re publican holds his seat. De La Matyr, the Greenbaoker paron, holds the balance of power as to Indiana's one vote in case the election of President goes to the House. McCabe's chances are regarded as very slender. The New York Herald of Wednes day is specially rough in its' denun ciation of Gov. Garcelon's course as to the decision of the Supreme Court. It says ho has no power to do right, but resort to a "pitiful subterfuge" and in a "sneaking style." It says: "lie has not exhausted his function in issuing certificates, because in these cases he baa not exercised it. He simply diso beys the law in refusing to supply creden tials to a man whom he knows to be elected, and the pretext that he has given a worth less paper to some person not elected is vain. Bui the case now goes, it seems, to the Legislature, and it is likely that the general sense of rectitude there will set all right." The negro exodus special commit tee is about organizing. The wisdom of the committee is not assured. The Richmond State's Washington letter ays: "One of the committee, at least, has ex pressed a hope that the committee may never organize, and another suggests that it would be well to send a sub-committee composed of the Senators most sanguine uf ibe discovery of valuable Information Voorhee.

Our readers are doubtless familiar with the facts in regard to the great distress now existing among the peasantry and others in the lower walks of life in Ireland as ac counts have appeared from day to day in our telegraphic columns.

Tbe tug Royal Arch, familiarly known in our waters, led the attaok. "The fish is a 'Right whale.'

Tbe Ball Last Night. The complimentary ball given to the L'Arioso and Lotus Clubs last night, in point of elegance surpassed anything of the kind ever before witnessed in Wilmington. At 11 P.

Comparison of Wilmington N. v. with other Southern Cities me a Cotton Shipping Pert. Tbe following communication , shows that Wilmington is not behind her sister cities in facilities for doing a cotton trade of large dimensions. Mr. VanBokkelen is President of the Chamber of Commerce, and, while not engaged in cotton business,. takes great interest in what tends toward the prosperity of this city: Editor Morning Star: My attention has been drawn to the following communi cation which appeared in the columns of the Savannah Morning News of January om, anu as 11 appears to oe wnat is con sidered good work for that city, which is making rapid strides in the way of com mercial importance, as well as other ad vances toward prosperity, I think it will not be amiss to compare the facts with similar business being done by the cotton presses and stevedores of this city, and show that the moderate business now done here in cotton is done well and will no doubt increase greatly: (From the Savannah News. 1 "During the present cotton year there have been cleared from this port, to date, nineteen cargoes of cotton for foreign ports. Of these ten were of aggregate tonnage 4, 247 tons, and carried 17,736 bales, weighing 8,287,655 pounds.being an average of 1,952 pounds cotton to the ton against 1,830 pounds average of tbe two ' cargoes loaded at Savannah, and of 1,670 pounds that same vessels loaded at Charleston and Galves ton." The two cargoes loaded at Savannah show 1.865 and 1,812 pounds to the ton; the ten cargoes loaded at Wilmington show 1,849, 1,865, 1,894, 1,947, 1,963, 1,970, 2,002, 2,036, 2,041 and 2,071 pounds to the ton. The increase in the aggregate is sev enteen per cent, over Charleston and Gal veston, and seven percent, over Savannah. Comparing two ol the cargoes from Wil mington witb the two from Savannah, we have a bark of 318 tons taking 649,035 pound8,and another of 308 tons taking 638, 033 pounds, being an average of 2,053 pounds to tbe ton, showing an increase of twenty-three per cent, over Charleston and Galveston, and twelve per cent, over Sa vannah. The ten vessels loaded at Wilmington Average 425 tons; tbe two loaded at Savan nah average 450 tons, which makes this comparison fair, as vessels of large tonnage will carry more per ton than those of me dium or small tonnage. Wilmington can boast of three first-class cotton compresses; also stevedores capable of doing work equal to that done at any other port. The increasing depth of water over the bar will no doubt enable vessels of large draft to visit this port, when we hope to gain what we shall endeavor tosmerit, a large increase of commerce and a share of the prosperity that awaitathe South, and will come if her people put their hearts and bands rightly to work. A. H. VanBokkelen. The Vital statistics Qaestlon. Since writing the article in yesterday's issue, headed "Vital Statistics of Wilming ton," we have become convinced that there was an error in our report, as published in the Star of the 2d instant. This error oc curred through a misapprehension, in regard to the interments of paupers, the bulk of whom it is likely were buried in Pine For est, and perhaps a very "few in the other cemeteries, and not all in the "Pauper's Cemetery," as our report had it. It was an error that was very natural for a person to make, and we tako the first opportunity of admitting it, so that the incorrect im pression that has gjne abroad through its instrumentality may be neutralized. Our figures in regard to tbe other cemeteries are correct. There were Oakdale 114 Bellevne 35 Pine Forest 255 Total 404 The reports from three cemeteries were obtained from the books of the several companies, as compiled by the Secretaries, who keep a record of every interment made. According to the information now before us we are of tbe opinion that the ac tual cumber of interments will not exceed 415 or 420. It is impossible to give the ex act figures, as we are not at present, posted as to the number buried in the "Pauper's Cemetery." It should be remembered that ten of those interred in Oakdale and one in Bellevue, with perhaps some in Pine Forest, died elsewhere, and were brought here for interment, a fact. to which we alluded in our report of the 2nd inst. Festival Next Week. A committee of ladies of St. John's Epis copal Church.are making arrangements for a festival, to be given on Thursday next, the 15th inst., the proceeds to be applied to the payment of the church debt. The place has not yet been decided upon, but due notice will hereafter be given of tbe selec tion. We are requested to urge upon the benevolently Inclined 'to aid the ladies as much as possible in the way of contribu tions, in order that tbe affair may prove a success pecuniarily . In Trouble Again Willis Drake, the. crippled "Paddy's Hollow" shoemaker, threatened to kill his wife on Wednesday night, and made some ugly demonstrations in tbe neighborhood of the domicil in which she was abiding, whereupon, upon the. first opportunity, she had a peace warrant issued and her recreant husband arrested and taken before a Magis trate. He was there ordered to give bond to keep the peace and to make his personal appearance, in default of which he was lodged in jail; That Drake and his "duck" are terribly mismatched.
