The colored men from North Caro lina who have testified before the Exodus Committee have borne true testimony, and reflected credit upon themselves. . Tbe Radicals in Wash ington cannot understand why they do notiie, and swear that the negroes are badly treated in oar State. The Ohio Republicans have got rid of the Democratic gerrymander of twoyears ago. The Legislature has. put the districts as they were. It mast beborne in mind that the Re publicans set the example. They still hold the whip hand and will probably get 13 out of 20 members. It is all very nice for papers pub lished in a section that gets all the Governors and most of the other offi cers, to deprecate any talk about eastern or western candidates. Of course it is. - As long as other sec- tions are left out in the cold it is all right. If the centre were not to have a Governor in forty years it would secede and join Col.

NO. 120. tdry lying east and west of the Wil mington & Weldon Railroad, from Wayne to the South Carolina line, and extending to Carteret, Jones, Craven, Onslow and other counties should have a chance at the Guberna torial chair. In the campaign of 1876 we had occasion to expose the extravagance and frauds upon the Treasury per petrated by the Radicals in the mat ter of custom houses that transacted no business, or but little, and yet were maintained at heavy expense. They were filled with office-holders who supported and ran the Radical machine. There is a movement on foot in Congress to correct this evil. The Richmond Dispatch's letter from Washington says : "The bill to repeal all of tbe permanent annual appropriations, except those for the Eayment of the public debt and for paying ndian and other trust funds, is now before tbe sub-committee of which Senator Davis, of West Virginia, is chairman. It seems that there are a great many millions of dol lars annually paid out about which Con gress knows nothing, and the objept of the bill of Senator Davis is to give Congress control of all these amounts. It has not been determined whether it ought to take effect in June, 1880, or in June, 1881. To illustrate what is now done, I find that $12000,000 is annually paid out to support custom-bouses which do not support themselves. For instance, there is a long line of these on the coast of Maine which 4o not pay expenses, and Maine Congressmen say they are necessary to prevent smuggling. Yet tbe South has a larger exposed coast, and we do not hear of any smuggling, nor are so many custom houses, with numerous' employes, needed there. This hardly looks as if all the mo rality and respect for United States law is confined to New England. As Mr. Beck, one of tbe sub-committee, says, this is the bst movement for economy yet made in Congress, and Senator Davis deserves the thanks of the country." We learn "from that exceedingly interesting and Radical sheet, the Baltimore American, that the latest calculations in Stalwart circles as to their prospects in the South is this: "leading men count confidently upon carrying Virginia next fall, and have strong hopes of also being successful in North Carolina and Florida. The campaign in these three States will be conducted with eoergy and vigor. ' They have also claimed Georgia,South Carolina and Louisiana. If they can get these there will be a divided Sotilh and the "solid" will disappear for ever. But who believes all this? They do not only bo far as the Demo crats shall allow them to triumph by their own stupid and unpatriotio di visions. If North Carolina is lost the Democrats can only blame them selves. A good ticket one that will command the confidence of all sec tions of tbe State, with an able speak er to lead AtuX a united party will end in a signal Democratic triumph. And CoL A. S. Buford, of the Richmond & Danville, was in Wash ington, too. And, no doubt, he thinks it Best that an extra session of the Legislature be called. Generous Buford ! Disinterested Buford I If there is a man ou earth who would sacrifice all bis relations before he would do aught prejudicial to the interests of North Carolina that man is Col. A. S. Buford ! The way to build up North Carolina seaports and North Carolina towns is to sell out to tbe Richmond & Danville Railroad. Blaine is gaining ground it is be lieved in Washington. We notice that Democratic members are of that opinion. The Richmond Dispatch's special of Monday says: "There is no wiping out tbe fact that Blaine is gaining strength, and expects to get Sherman's vote if the contest is between him and Grant, or Grant's vote in the event the issue is between him and Sherman. Grant to be nominated will have to go through with a rush." Spirits Turpentine. -r- Mr. Howgill Julian a Randolph lawyer, is dead. - .-Corn sells at $5 on time in Warren county. . Mr. David M.

Bakersville Republican : The house of Mr. Bowditcb, on Crab Tree in Yancey county, was burned last week with all its contents. A series of revival meetings have been going on at Fork Moun tain Church for some time. There have been several additions to this Churcb.

We are glad to learn that the Cleaveland Guards have revived and are making pre parations to be present at the hoisting of the Centennial Flag, at King's Mountain, on the 21st inst. The first snow, in this section, this winter, fell last Monday. .Elizabeth City JBalcon : It is re ported that a cotton factory is to be put up at Winfall soon. The Clement Attach ment is to be used. In the little county of Pasquotank, with only one chartered town and a population jless than onahifd that of Granville and one-half that of Orange, there are four newspapers published, one of which is a daily.

Goldsboro Messenger: A small child of Mr. Jack Crawford, residing on tbe lands of Mr. J. M. Litham, in Saulston township, met a sad death a few days ago.

It is rumored that Chief Justice Smith will in a few days tender his resignation on ac count of ill health. Hickory Carolinian : The to bacco sale Wednesday was attended by a number of buyers ; and planters from Ire dell, Alexander, Wilkes, Caldwell, Cataw ba and Burke had tobacco in tbe ware house. -At this time we will only speak of the "Lower" factory, carried on by the Catawba Manufacturing Company, composed of Dr. A.

Tbe company was organized October, 1878, with a capital of $lrj,000. The object of the company was tbe manufacture of plaids or checked goods, commonly known as "alamance."

FEBRUARY 11, 1880. Local Dots. More spring weather yesterday. To-day is Ash Wednesday, the commencement of Lent, The Rev. Dr. Patterson, of this city, as we learn from the Virginian, preached at Christ Churcb, Norfolk, on Sunday las. " Peter Pickett, colored, was ar rested for disorderly conduct on Market street, yesterday afternoon, and lodged in the guard house. The case against the city, fdr alleged obstruction of streets, which was set for trial yesterday, was finally post poned until ibis morning. Nathan Graham, or "Crazy Nathan," es be is called, was found 00 the wharf yesterday afternoon with shackles on his feet, and as it was supposed that he bad effected his escape from the insane depart ment at the County Poor House, wbeie he has been confined, be was locked up in the guard house. A party of young men, who, while engaged in a skylarking expedition Monday night, damaged some property cn Maiket street, were up before Acting Mayor Flanner yesterday morning, and (with one exception) were required to contribute $5 each to tbe City Treasury, and pay tbe owner of the property for tbe damage done.

Judgment suspended upon payment of costs. In tbe case of C. Z Coain, charged with assault and battery, tbe defendant was ftund guilty. Uniformity In Time. A number of genllemenjwere comparing time-pieces yesterday, when-it was found that hardly any two of the crowd had watches which indicated exactly the same hour. There was at least about four or five minutes difference between them, some be ing a little faster and others a little slower than the average, while every gentleman professed to have the standard. One bad tbe city clock time, another this, another that, and another the other jeweller's time, and still another regulated his 'watch by a clock in a certain drug store ..Now, from all this confusion was fically developed the sug gestion, which we were asked to thus make public, that it would be a good ideafor our city authorities lo have the city clock regu lated by the railroad or Washington City time. This is telegraphed here regularly every day, at 13 o'clock, and let it be known that tbe keeper of the city clock will keep it regulated by this standard, and the time of all our watches and clocks can be mada uniform. Ordinarily-it would not be a matter of very great importance if watches should vary four or five minutes one with another, but when a person is go ing off on a train, has an" important ap pointment, and in many other, cases which might be named, it is very desirable that there should be as near a uniformity as possible in timepieces. Motion Refused. The motion for a removal of the trial of the case of Maria Hall, colored, charged with murder, upon affidavit filed by defen dant's counsel on Monday, came up for a hearing before the Criminal Court yester day morning, and was argued by the coun sel ou either side. The alleged ground for removal was that there was a deep-rooted prejudice against the prisoner in the com munity, and that she, or her counsel, did not believe she could get a fair trial here. Mr. Bellamy, of the prisoner's counsel, made an ingenious argument in behalf of his client, but His Honor refused tbe mo tion, giving in detail his reasons therefor. The Court then ordered that a special venire of one hundredjgood and lawful men be summoned from which to select a jury, and set the trial for Monday next Tha rropoaet Inflnnarr. In Sunday's paper we alluded to tbe pro posed establishment of an Infirmary in tbe old American Hotel , building, near the W. & W. Railroad depot. Since then we learn that a strong opposition to tbe loca tion of the Infirmary at that point has been developed among tbe people residing in that particular neighborhood. In this con nection we-would state that our remark as to tbe location being good one, had refer .ence only to its convenience. " .

HOUSE. Col.jneRae'e Lecture. Twice previously in the Star we have attempted a notice of Col. Duncan K. McRae'a brilliant lecture, entitled"6enius , and Talent." The lecture was repeated last night, at the Opera House, to a very fair audience, and all in attendance were delighted beyond measure with the rare literary entertainment the occasion afforded them. Our citizens are really much in debted to Col. McRae for the creation of a taste for lectures upon other than severely practical subjects, and we are pleased to chronicle that his efforts are appreciated, as evidenced by the larger audiences that al way s gather to hear him. Petersburg- Sc Weldon . KallroaMt ' Rrfdse Destroyed. Tbe bridge across the Meherrin river, on the Petersburg & Weldon Railroad, at Hicksford, about twenty-three miles north of Weldon, was destroyed by fire Monday night last, and as a consequence trains both ways were blocked and traffic on tbe line for a lime interrupted. Tbe railroad officials with a large force of laborers have gone vigorously to work, however, and in a short time will be able to run trains through on a temporary bridge. Ia the meantime transfers of mails and passengers are made at the break with little delay. The bridge was fired at both ends and was undoubtedly tbe work of incendiaries, a county bridge across the river a few hundred yards front' the railroad bridge being also set on fire and destroyed at the same time. It is supposed to have been the work of "pestiferous' tramps " Tbe railroad bridge was 20O feet long and cost $8,000. Uumallable matter.

A DOWN TOWN HEBCHANT, having passed several sleepieas nights, disturbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con vinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing byrup was Just the article needed, procured a supply for the. child. On reaching home and acquainting bis wife with what he had done, she refused to have it ad ministered to the child, as sha was strongly in favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed in suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning -home the day following, the father found the baby : still worse, and while contemplating another sleep- -less night, the mother stepped from the room to at tend to some domestic duties, and left the father with the child. During her absence he administered a portion or tne sootning syrup to tne oany. ana said nothing. That night all hands slept well. e. 'xn&t mgnt ail nanas siept weii. ana the little fellow awoke in -the morning bright and happy . The mother was delighted with the sudden and wonderful change, and although at first offend ed with the deception practiced upon her, has con tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies and restless nights have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup never yet failed to relieve the baby, and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all Druggists. 86 cents a bottle. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ftf. Auctioneer.
