He is a very able man,;ard has the confidence of his party. It was sup posed that the Ohio- election had slaughtered him. The cause of the new boom is given in the following paragraph we olip from a Republi can organ, the Baltimore American. Its Washington jspecial says.: "Many prominent Democrats here be lieve that the Republicans will pass this measure; and they admit that if this is done it will take New York out of the list of States which can, in .any contingency, be carried for the Democracy. Mr. John O. Thompson, whose relations to Senator Thurmaa are well known, said to day tbat if this new measure shoujd b adopted in New Yoik, it would put an entirely new aspect upon the contest for the Demo cratic nomination. As tbe . Democrats in that' event could not1 calculate upon the vote of New York, it would be absolutely necessary for them to tnrn their attention towards securing some other doubtful State whose electoral vote would most nearly supply tbe loss of New York. He. said that all would immediately recognize tha fact that Ohio.above all other States, would be the one upon which the Democrats must rely, for success . To make sure of Ohio it would be necessary to se lect one of her own sons as the Democratic standard bearer, and noae among them would at the same time as well secure the largest vote possible in the State, and also command tbe general support of the Dem ocratic party of the country, as. Mr. Thur man." Mr. John Simons, a thirty-third de gree Mason, does- not think the em blems found in the Egyptian obelisk of any importance to Masonry. He is reported in the N. Y. Herald as saying: "When the monolith was taken from its former location and put in its present situa tion they had mechanical appliances. They had to have levels, compasses, and squares all that Masons' use. And tbat they should have left some traces of their implements does not exoite my surprise. It is the greatest folly in tbe world to suppose that Mason ly as it now ex ists was then known. At the same time it is only proper to temark tnal tbe princi ples now governing tbe craft have existed from the earliest recorded times, and that something very similar was then in exist ence is Capable of absolute demonstration. When the Palestine exploration, formed under English engineers, dug down to the foundations of Solomou's Temple they fouud the workmen's marks ou the stones. Tbat does uoi piove that they were Free masons any more than this ca proves that they were Freemasons wb'i erected tbe obe lisk." Mr. John C. Freund, editor of the Musical and Dramatic Times a pub lication of very great merit whose probable suicide was reported, has doubtless gone away to avoid his cred itors. His liabilities are stated to be $150,000. He is said to be a philoso pher who will not take his life because be is overwhelmed with debts. Of young Paulding who made his debut in Richmond on Monday even ing, the State says: "There is a wondeiful amount of genius iu this young man awaiting tbe develop ment of experience, the ripening mellow ness of age and the finishing touches of artistic taste, culture and skill." So high is Senator Lamar's charac ter for ability and honor, that a Stal wart organ like the Baltimore Ameri can is moved to say: " Widespread regret will result, if it should nrn trn that Bntnr T,mr' illneBS Will cause his retirement from political life.

Charlotte Observer: After Rev. E. A. Wingard, pastor bf St. Mark's Luthe ran Church, closet) his sermon last Sunday morning, he announced to the congregation that his resignation was in the hands of the Church Council.

Harris, tbe Ra leigh colored Republican politician, was In tbe city yesterday, in the interestof a paper which he is publishing in Raleigh called the Republican. It is a part of tbe Grant boom. Concord Sun: Out on Church street, 'near the residences of Mr. W. A. Smith and Dr. J. P. Gibson, is something of a small Leadville so far as gold mining goes. Mr. Smith came down town Satur day with a lump of cold weighing nearly half a pound, tbe result of a day's work with a small mill. The vein was opened out some time last' December and proves to get richer as it is followed up. Two mines are being wbrked, one by Mr. Smith and one by Mr. Joel Reed. Since tbe Odell Cotton Factory passed into tbe bands of the present managers, in March, 1877, its value has been greatly en hanced by the addition of eighty-four looms, four quilters,one spindle, one railway head, three spindle frames, one spooler and three twisters. A new department has been ad ded in the construction of a dye house for the manufacture of plaid goods. It is fur nished with the most improved machinery and does very good work. Their plaids are sold at some of the retail stores in tewn.and bring as good prices as tbe plaids of any mills. In addition to all of this, the stock holders their meeting Tuesday, passed an order for tbe purchase of more machinery, wbieh will be put in sometime soon. Tbe Factory gives employment at present to one hundred andvtwenty-five hands, though tbe pay roll will shortly embrace one hundred and fifty names, as more hands are required to be employed. Hale's Raleigh Weekly: Rev. A. D. Betts asks us to "announce that the class of 1855 propose to meet at Chapel Hill next June. As they are scattered through many States, you will please re quest the press to give this call a notice. I wish tbe surviving members to address me at Kenansville, N. C." Prof. Henry E. Shepherd, a native of Faystteville, N. C, but for sbme years resident in Balti more, was last week re-elected Superinten dent of Public Instruction for Baltimore. Two and a half years ago Mr. Samuel J. Fall, after five years living in North' Car olina, returned to his native home in Eng land.

Considerable excitement was created in the neighborhood of Fourth, be tween Queen and Wooster Btreets, yester day morning, by a chase after a wild rabbit, which was finally captured by a dog. James Durand, a French sea-1 man, was arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of false pretenses, and gave bond in tbe sum of $50 for bis appearance before Justice Hall this morning at 10 o'clock. The Alarm of Fire YeatorAay. Yesterday, about 12 o'clock, a dense vol ume of smoke was discovered issuing from an old building on the premises of the Mc Ree house, on 8econd, between Market and Princess streets. The fire was found to be among a lot of straw and other combusti ble material, on the Becond floor, and the smoke was so thick and stifling that some of the first who ascended the stairway, be ing urged on by others, below them, came near being suffocated. Thejfire was getting good headway when discovered, SDd would probably have resulted disastrously, but by ihe well directed efforts of those who ar. rived early on the ground tbe flames were quickly extinguished. The building in which the fire originated is one of the oldest in tbe city, the walls as well as the roof being shingled instead of weather-boarded. Tradition hath it that within those walls, now rotten and crum bling with age, once resided Wm. Hooper; one of the signers of tbe Declaration of In dependence. Buffalo Bill. The Hartford Courant has this to say of the appearabce there of Buffalo Bill in bis new play, "Tbe Knight of the Plains," which he is to present at tbe Opera House to-night: Col. Prentiss Icgrabam's new play, writ ten for Buffalo Bill, was submitted at the Opera House last evening to public criti cism for the second time. It is essentially a drama of the plains, yet far above the average in plot, in situations and in dia logue. These merits were brought out by a company of more than tbe excellence ordi narily found in performances of this partic ular character. Last evening Tbe .Knight of the Plains' was presented with special scenery, good costuming, and a spice of reality was added by the introduction in tbe opening act of a troupe of Nez Peree and Pawnee Indians and their interpreters. The galleries were crowded,, as. might have been anticipated: but for that matter so were the dress and parquette circles, and indicative tbat Buffalo Bill and his combined novel ties in bis new drama has a fascination for adults as well as the youthful portion of the "community." Tbe Lecture Xo-Merrew IVlgnt. We again remind our readers of tbe rare intellectual treat in store for them at the Opera House, to-morrow night, on which occasion Col. D. K.McRae will deliver his promised lecture on Poetry for tbe benefit of the Wilmington Library Association. We are told that this lecture will be, a re markable one even for. such a speaker as Col. McR&e, whose reputation as a lecturer is exceeded by few. His theme is a fruit ful one, and we learn tbat he is expected to be especially happy apd entertaining in his treatment of it Let all, therefore, who wish to enjoy an evening of unalloyed plea sure be present at the Opera House to morrow night. mayor' Court. Champ Artis, colored, was arraigned for drunkenness. Sergeant Davis testified that he found him dead drunk at tbe entrance to the station house, about 9 o'clock Tues day night, and "took him in out of tbe wet." Five dollars or five days. Richard Martin, colored, of accordeon fame, was up for disorderly conduct, quar relling, eta, in the neighborhood of the market, about a quarter to 9 o'clock Tues day night. Officer Woebse cautioned him without avail, and finally took him to the station house. Tbe case of Robert Vann, charged with stealing cotton, was again continued, and the prisoner remanded to hit cell. Tax natters. As a matter of some interest we give here a statement of the amount of State tax paid by tbe townships outside of ' the pity The entire State tax collected for 1879, as we have before stated, was $16,412.42. Tbe tax collected outside of the city footed up $1,652.68; from which deduct $129.83, the amount paid by the' Wilmington Railroad Bridge Company.listed in Cape Fear Town ship, making the tax on property $1,523. 85 . Of this amount there was paid by citizens of Wilmington $809.61,leaving $713.44 paid by citizens of the four townships outside of the city. ,: ...

Ben James and family, colored, living at the corner of Dawson and Front streets, insist upon it that they are the special marks for the shafts of conjurers, wizzards and witches that they imagine inhabit that portion of tbe city. Some weeks since Ben James called at Ihe City Hall, and asked for protection. Chief of Police Brock asked him to state bis grievances, and he proceeded with a long rigmarole about hearing strange whisperings or incanta tions around the house at night? tbat pans -I of water were placed at the door; that the spring from which; the family obtained their drinking water was conjured or poi soned, &c. They have also been to Justice Millis on several occasions witb their com plaints, and a week or two ago the woman had a peace warrant sworn out against Lewis LeGrand, a respectable colored man in their neighborhood, alleging that she had distinguished bis voice around the house at night, breathing out threats, etcJ The case was heard by Justice Millis and tbe charges found to be entirely without foun-' dation. ' A night or two afterwards LeGrand's house was burnt, together with Mt. Olive Church adjoining, though we do not pretend to say that it was through their agency. Tho Chief of Police and Justice Millis have ried to reason with them on the subject, but they will not listen to it. Dr. Walker, the city physician, called to see them, but was refused admittance, and since Satur day last the family have been barricaded inside their house and will not admit any one. They have a wire stretched on the fence surrounding the house, as if intended to afford them protection, and keep two se vere dogs on the premises. A brother of James, from Brunswick county, called to see bim, but tbe latter spoke of his house as bis castle, and alluded to the consequences of its invasion, or any attempt to interfere with him, in such threatening terms that tbe visitor left in a hurry. When any of the family go to the spring they place a sil ver quarter of a dollar in tbe bucket as a protection against witchcraft.- Some of the police were sent to the house Mon day night, but could not gain admittance without breaking in the door, which they did oot consider themselves warranted to do. A party called at Justice Millis' resi dence the same night for a writ to obtain admittance, but tbe Justice declined to in terfere in the matter under the circum stances as they, then existed. The family consists of James, his wife and two small children. The man ha8 been in the employ of Mr. A. H. VanBok kelen for sometime past as a drayman, and bas always been considered an industrious and trusty employe. Talks of conjuration are also beard among some of the colored people iu "Brooklyn." One couple, particularly, who have a son whose limbs have been drawn out of shape, most probably by rheumatism, insist upon it that the de formity is tbe result of conjuration. Yesterday afternoon tbe Chief of Police sent Sergeant Davis and Officer Kendrick to the bouse of Ben James, with instruc tions to force their way into the building, if necessary, and bring the parties to the sta tion bouse, as it was feared tbat tbe mis guided and ignorant man and woman might allow themselves -and children to perish of hunger. The officers proceeded to perform the duty, and while taking tbe family from the house a crowd of one hun dred and fifty or two hundred people.mostly colored, gathered in the vicinity, and the most of them followed in tbe wake of tbe officers and their prisoner on their way to the guard house. James and his wife of fered no resistance, though a double-barrel gun was found sitting in a corner of tbe room. During a brief interview with James and his wife, after their arrival at- the station bouse, they alluded to their apprehensions of mortal injury from sources which they could not.explain. James pretended that he Was not so much alarmed on his own account, but he vras afraid to leave his wife by herself for a moment, and had .stopped work to remain by her side. His wife said that she put the silver in her bucket when she went to the spring, hoping that, with God's assistance, it might serve as a protec tion to her. They are evidently sincere in their belief that they are to be tbe victims of conjuration unless something can beH done to prevent it. The children devoured the food put before them as if they had been at the point of starvation. Tne Fir (.middle pound. Further information in reference to the fire at Middle Sound on Tuesday morning, alluded to in our last, is to the effect that Mr. D. M. Fennell lost his entire crop of corn and fodder and about half of his crop Of peas, the other half of the latter being stacked in the field. He also lost alibis farming utensils. He saved his horse and buggy, Which were in the Jower part of the building. The fire caught, on the top of the barn and was undoubtedly tbe work of an incendiary.

Supervisor of tbe Census. - The nomination of Mr. Walker Meares, of this city, as Supervisor of the Census for the First District of this State, comprising about twenty counties, is about as good as could possibly have been made, and its confirmation, of which there is probably no doubt,, will give universal satisfaction. Mr. Meares is noted for bis adeptness as a statistician and bis peculiar fondness, for the business. The census of this city, got ten up by him last year, together witb tbe accompanying valuable local statistics, is sufficient evidence of bis skill and the ac curacy of bis work. Thermometer Record.
