That paper bears the matter re signedly and says: "Those two well known and able mem bers of the Richmond bar, Messrs. W. C. Roane and Ro. Peel Brooks, have been re tained for the defence, and will doubtless be able to make the wool fly at the proper moment. Concerning Senator Bailey's bill providing for the distribution of .lands among the several States for educational purposes, the Richmond .Staters Washington special says : . "Senators Hoar. Morrill and Barnside, .Republicans, have declared themselves in 'favor of it, and there is a good prospect of its passage. Upon the proposed basis of distribution of the money the Southern iSiates would receive the greater portion f it." JMr. Edward J. Hale writes to Male 's Weekly from New York that persons going North "can save $4.'50 by buyteg a ticket only to Ports mouth and then one to this city. A friend who has recently come over that route saved $9 for his own and his wife's passage. This arises from the competition between rival lines j&t Portsmouth." It is thought in Washington that ' nideiTis not only in the race but 7tkat .be has considerable strength. Concerning rumors that he is not a candidate, the Richmond Common- ?weatth?8 correspondent from Wash ington, writes on the 28th: "Those people who put Mr. Tilden out of the race may take rank with the uiaine and Sherman men, who, up to the other day.ln- aisled tnat Urant had no Idea of running, And now say that he won't lake it unless be gels it unanimously.'7 - We give in part what is said by the Indianapolis Journal, a Republi can paper, remarking that we do not attach much credit to the statement. That paper says that Secretary of State Shanklin, of Indiana, had seen "a letter from New York, whioh had been written at the dictation of Ho ratio Seymour, in which that gentle man distinctly declares that if nomi nated on the Democratic ticket for tbe-Presidency he will aocept the no ruination. Mr. Shanklin is of the opinion that Seymour and Hendricks will be nominated for President and . Vice President within ten minuses af ;ter tjie ; Convention is organized, ;arid ;isl certain . there toeed ;fe no question as.- to .the . acceptance nof either of : them. ' He is equally sure that' they will be elected -and inaugurated." The Stab long ago said that the tick i - ' i .1 W. K S ?;W. ? : .-. . VOL, X.XV.T!,N,0.i137. et to win was Seymour and Hen dricks. We would be glad indeed if what is hero stated were true as to Mr. Seymour's willingness to accept! if nominated. We cannot well credit this in the face of so many other pre vious 8tatemen.ta I of "an opposite tenor. At the f aoer&r of Jthe lafef JSev. Dr. Jeter, of Riohm.birftrit misestimated that there were.

Borlarr-HI Prllmlnary Examination Before the mayor and commitment Without Benefit of Ball. On Sunday morning last a colored man, who gives bis name as George Wright alias George Myers, was arrested and lodged in the guard-house on the charge of burglari ously entering the house of Mr. Daniel C. Davis and robbing it. The case came up for a bearing before Mayor Fishblate yes terday morning, Solicitor Moore, of the Criminal Court, appearing for the State. Mr. Davis, who xesides on Third, be tween Bladen and Harnett streets, and who wss first put upon the stand, testified that he went home from his store about 1 o'clock, having previously taken the money from the drawer, putting the bills in a box and the specie in a tobacco bag. When he went home he left the latter n his pants pocket in bis room. Just before day, as he thinks, be was aroused by his wife, who said there was a man in the house, and that she saw him going from the sit- sitng room out at the door. Mr. Da' vis jumped out of bed, ran out on the piazza, and saw a man making his way rapidly, but stealthily, through the shrub bery in the direction of the gate. He started in pursuit in bis night clo'.hes,when a lively chase ensued. The fellow ran down to the corner of Brunswick street, jumped a fence into a lot, glided under a house and out again through Thompson's alley, down the hill towards the railroad, then up to wards Brunswick street again, through Thompson's alley once more, and finally in the direction of the John D. Love house, going over fences and through lots, and finally bringing up in Love's alley. In the meantime the pursuit, which was com menced by Mr. Davis and Mr. Win. Tar ley, a relative and member of the family, the latter being also in his night clothes, was resigned to Police Officers Bryan, Williams and Woebse, and Mr. E. B. AUen, a son of Policeman Allen, who had re sponded to the cries of help, while they went home to dreea. Io or near this alley the prisoner was finally brought to bay, and was. immediately seized by Mr. Allen, fol lowed by the policemen, who io..k him to the guard house. Mr. Davis said the moon was shining very bngnt wnen me pursuit was com menced, and he thinks it was a little before daybreak. The bag of money which was found on the person of the prisoner when he was arrested was produced in Court. He identified the bag, and stated before it was opened that he noticed when counting it Saturday night that there were in the lot of specie one silver dollar and seven halves, and the number in the bag corresponded. He spoke of an old copper coin, and that was found and identified; also of a number of old three-cent pieces, which were sepa rate from the rest, being wrapped up in a piece of cloth; also a smooth shilling, which was among the pieces taken from the drawer, which was identified. Witness also recognized a match case found on the per son of the prisoner. Mr. Davis found a chisel near the gate, and his pants in a corner of the fence, together with an axe belonirine to a neighbor. The door was prized open with a chisel, the prints of which could be seen all along the edges of the shutter and door.facing. There were also signs of an attempt to prize open the window. The door, which opened on the outside, was fastened with a bolt, and was also hooked at the bottom. The nrisoner. upon beinz told that he could question the witness, and warned by his Honor, and the Solicitor not to say anything that might be used against him self, persisted in 'making a statement, whioh, taken altogether, was not;calculated to help him any. He acknowledged ; that he had on no shoes at the time he was ar rested, and said that he tore them to pieces io jumping fences. He spun out a long story about passing Mr. Davis' house' and finding a pair of shoes hanging ojer the fence, in one of which he found the money; that Mr. Davis came out of the door and said something about shooting, when he became frightened and ran off, carrying the bag of money with him. Mr. William Turley, an inmate of Mr. Davis' house, sod who assisted in the pur suit, testified, but no new facts pf impor tance were elicited. ' . Policeman Williams heard the call for police about a quarter to 6 o'clock, saw-the prisoner jumping a fence, and gave chase from Fillyaw's store, following up the pur suit until the prisoner was eaptured, when he helped to take him to the guard house. He found on his person a shoe, a match case.' a key. a leather case with a due-bill in it, and . the bag of money, all of which were exhibited in Court Officer Bryan, when he first heard the call for police, looked at bis watch and it was exactly five minutes after 6 o'clock. Mr. Davis was recalled at this point and said they had been chasing the prisoner a long. time, probably a half hour or more. when the police took up the pursuit. Officer Bryan's evidence did not vary materially from that of Officer Williams - Harriet Hubbard, the mother of the pri soner's wife, and who lives in he same house with them, testified that the defen dant.got upSunday ;mornlng before day and Vent off, -saying he , was going after wood. rHis wife begged him not to go, say mg he would get . into trouble, and that there was ao necessity - of his going after wood. She' said thaprisdner had'a; pan of shoes like; the. one exhibited in Court, and also had a screw-driver likex the oBa-found Inside of Mr. Davis gate. ' Mr. W. M. Evans, wholives near Mr MARCH 2, 1880. Davis, recognized the axe as one missing from his yard. It was. under his house Saturday night. 1 L " Mr. E. B. Allen, who first got his hand in George's collar, testified as to the part he took in the chase and capture. Mr James Kendrick was called upon by the Solicitor to testify as to what the pris oner said about his name. He said, some : called him George Myers and, some George Wright, "but that he registered and voted as George . My ersJs Mr. K. - asked him if he didn't register and vote by. the name of George Wright also, and he replied that he did. - i At the conclusion Of the examination the Mayor ordered . the defendant to be com mitted without the benefit of bail, for his appearance at the next term of the Crimi nal Court This is not the first time Myers has been charged with a crime of this charac ter. . He was arrested and had a prelimina ry examination' before Henry Brewington, J. Pv on the charge of larceny, but was for some reason discharged. In June, 1877, a true bill was found against him for break ing into and robbing a house belonging to some colored individual, being . the same charge as above, and at the August term of the Criminal Court, the prisoner not having been taken, a not. pros, with leave was en tered. -1 Hecamfr back to Wilmington sub sequently and was arrested on a capiat re turnable to. the October term of the Court, when, the evidence being somewhat- con tradictory, & twl.pro8. was again entered in his case and he was discharged from custody- .

The child was' playing in Mr. Ives yard at the time. Mr. Ives offered to kill the dog, we learn, but Mr. Harman did not insist upon his doing so. To suffer and. be pleasant is almost impos sible for an adult, and quite so for a baby, When it is afflicted with Colic, Diarrhoea or other troublesome disorders use Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup.
