VOL. XXV. NO. 111.
Kx-Gov. Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
was once a Republican, and is known
as "the war Governor' of that State.
He beoame so disgusted at tbe cor
ruptions of the Radicals that in 1872
he supported Greeley for President,
and since then has cooperated with
the Democrats. He was a candidate
for Congress, and was thought to
have been cheated out of his seat.
Tbe following is the state of the case
at present, as we find it given in the
Washington letter to the Richmond
State : -
r "The House Committee on Elections has
decided to report in tbe case of Curtin
against Yocum that there were sufficient ir
regularities to invalidate the election, and
that neither of the contestants is entitled to
a seat of Congress. , Tbe minority will: re
port that Yocum-is entitled to hold tbe
seat. The Democrats propose to present
their report and rush through a resolution
declaring the seat, vacant, so that the Go
vernor of Pennsylvania may order a special
election in February, as they fear he may
otherwise postpone the call until fall.
Pennsylvania Democrats say if the election
be held in February Curtin will be nomi
nated and elected, out if it be postponed
until fall some other Democrat will be no
minated. It is believed there will be no
serious fight in behalf of Yocum."
Mr. C. W. Grandy, of Elizabeth
City, succeeds Mr. Tom Keogh as
Chairman of the Republican State
Executive Committee. The dele
gates to the National Convention
are :
'Rufus Barringer, of Mecklenburg; al

Siarbuck, of Forsyth; alternate, G. Y.
Stanton,. of Wilson. James H. Harris, of
Wake; alternate, L C. Christmas, of War
ren. W. P. Canaday, of New Honover;
alternate, W. S. Pearson, of Burke.
"W. W. Uoldeo tendered his resignation
as a member of tbe Committee from the
State at large, and Col. L. W. Humphrey,
of. Wajpe, was elected to till the vacancy.
"The. result of abe election of delegates
to the National Convention at Chicago is
looked upon by the majority of the Com
mittee as a success for the Sherman element
in tbe party here. It is understood that
tbe Committee stood six for Sherman and
four for Grant. Tbe composition of the
Committee shows tbe leaning at a glance.
Ooe is a collector of customs, another
holds a position iu lite Treasury Depart
ment at Washington, and another is a col
lector of internal Ttveuue."
This is taken from the Raleigh
Observer.
Some of the Senatorial eulogies on
the late Senator Chandler are said to
have been in exceedingly bad taste.
Senator Ferry improved the occasion
to make a bitter partisan speech, and
to flap a few times that sanguinary
oritlaminu of the Stalwarts the
bloody-shirt. Senator Ransom was
to have spoken, but after Ferry's
tierce speech he remained silent. The
State's Washington special says:
"Mr. Conger invited Mr. Tucker, Mr.
Stephens, of Georgia, and a dozen other
Democrats in the House to speak, but all
declined and be resolved to ask no more.
Mr. Stephens, in declining, said he respect-,
ed tbe personal character of Mr. Chandler
and said he would like to say something on
this occasion if he felt physically adequate
to the task. Incidentally be remarked that
Mr. Chandler accompanied President Lin
coln on the occasion of the famous Hamp
ton Roads Conference, in which Mr. Ste
phens, Hon. R. M. T. Hunter and Judge
Campbell figured on tbe part of the Con
federacy, and he believed the failure of ne
gotiations for peace on that occasion was
largely due to Chandler's influence over
Mr. Lincoln."
The negroes who have gone to
Kansas have suffered intensely. If
warm here it has been very cold
there. The Independent Kansan
says many of them have had their

are begging for help. The Kansan
says:
"The managers of the exodus are contin
ually assuring the ignorant blacks in the
South that their brethren in Kansas are all
self-supporting, all doing well, all comfort
able, contented and happy .in the promised
latftj, the object being, of coarse, to stimu

are full of appeals to the charitable in be

badly injured, receiving two severe scalp

are considered dangerous.

This beautiful opera, or operetta, was
charmingly given at the Opera -House last
evening, to the largest audience that has
assembled in tbe Opera House in many a
day. Nearly every seat Was occupied and
eligible standing-room was in demand
early in tbe evening. - . i
The leading characters were all very
happily portrayed, and so thoroughly well
was each individual part sustained that we
shall only congratulate and .commend the
several performers without distincti6n. -The
entertainment closed at a late hour,
and writing hurriedly, as we do, it is sim
ply impossible to give a notice of the per
formance commensurate with its merits.
We can only allude to the leadiDg features,
and that briefly. To successfully present
a juvenile opera requires -the expenditure
of a vast amount of patience, skill and
labor, and tbe several ladies under
whose direction it was given are certainly
well entitled to the warmest congratula
tions upon the highly creditable result. The
choruses were well trained and sangBweetly
and in excellent time; the many and intri
cate marches and manctavres were skilfully
and correctly executed, and tbe different
tableaux beautifully formed and brilliantly
effective.
The audience was heartily apprecia
tive, and the applause was both frequent
and unstinted, and certainly always fully
merited.
Between the acts the Cornet Conceit Club
entertained the audience most agreeably
and added no little to the eDjoyment of the
affair.
Mrs. E. M. Cusbing was tbe musical di
rectress, which is sufficient guarantee that
everything was eomme Ufaut in that impor
tant particular.
In conclusion we reiterate that the per
formance was in every way a grand suc
cess, that delightfully entertained a large
assemblage for three hours, .and we think
we but echo the general sentimen t when we
urge its repetition at an early day.
The net receipts could not be definitely
told last night, but will be about three hun
dred and fifty dollars, which will be turned
over to St. John's Church for the benefit of
which tbe performance was given.
Catted State RIall Wagons.
At the Post Office, yesterday, ' we were
shown by Col. Brink tbe designs of tbe
new United States Mail Wagons adopted
by the Poatodlce Department for the Mail
Messenger and Transfer Service which will
go into operation at Wilmington, Charles
ton, Savannah, Chattanooga, Knoxville,
Memphis, Nashville, Louisville, Cincinnati
and San Francisco on the 1st of July next.
Tbe schedule of service required here will
be to and from the three railroad depots
and the Wilmington and Fayetteville and
the Wilmington and Smithville steamboat
landings. Tbe advertisement for propo
posals requires the contractor to furnish his
own wagon. There are designs lor
three 'different dimensions of wagons,
the two-horse, one-horse and pony wa
gon. Wilmington will require a one
horse wagon, tbe design for which
represents a very handsome covered
vehicle, with a body eight feet - in
length, three feet and eleven inches in
width and four feet four inches in height:
the sides and ends to be painted and let
tered in a becoming style. When mails are
carried in tbe night the wagon must be ac
companied by at least one person besides
the driver, as guard. The wagons will be
quite stylish, and tbe contractor will have
to be possessed of means sufficient to spend
two or three hundred dollars for this part
of his outfit;
military matters.
It may not be generally known that the
Cape Fear Artillery. Company, of this city
has already disbanded, and their splendid
battery been turned over by Capt. McRae
to Col. Planner, who has parked the guns
in the City Hall yard, in the absence of a
more suitable place for them. The organi
zation has been kept up since 1875, mainly
at the expense of the officers Of the Com
pany, including Col. Flan ner, all Of whom
have spent a great deal of money for this
purpose. They are unable to continue
this expenditure, and the Company could
not be kept up without funds, so the only
remedy was to disband. The fact that this
splendid organization could not be con
tinued should be a source of regret-to tbe
community.

MRS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING 8YRUP.-Rev.
Sylvanus Cobb thus writes in the "Boston Christian
Freeman" : We would by no means recommend
any kind of medicine which we did not know to be
good particularly for infants. But of Mrs. Wins
low's Soothing byrapwe can speak from knowl
edge; in our own family it has proved a blessing
indeed, by giving an infant troubled with colic
pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unbroken rest at
night. Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here is an article which works to perfection, and
which la harmless; for the sleep which It affords
the infant ia perfectly natural, and the little cherub
awakes as "bright as a button." And during the
grocess of teething Its value is incalculable. We
ave frequently heard mothers say they would not
be without it from the birtluof the child till it had
finished with the teethlngjiege, on any considera
tion whatever. Sold byliil druggists. 35 cents a
bottle.
