We are really glad to see able and
inflnential papers denouncing the pa
per monopoly. The New York Jour
n&o(jommercet the Philadelphi a
Times t and the Charleston News and
Courier, alt papers of hieQ,oba.raeter4
have just spoken. The Times says:
What was Intended as a Just protection
to the manufacturers of printing paper, has
been perverted to a most oppressive mo
nopoly, and that monopoly is largely if not
mainly owned by Congressman 'Miller,5 of
New York, and Congressman Russell, ;i of
Massachusetts ;: . i :
"It is now conceded that the dauae in the
UrLflf that protects this monopoly of Repre
sentatives Miller and Russell was believed
by Congress to have been repealed some
years ago; but by an oversight of Congress,
or the cunning of some shrewd clerk, the
Words 'dried pulp twenty per cent' ad va

pable conflict with the terms "Which" place

For some days the old red shirt
has been flapped vigorously , in Con
gress. The usual stereotyped phrases,
"traitors," "rebel ore w,n etc, have
been hurled at the heads of Sonthern
members. The State's Waahidgton
letter says:.''
EvidenUv the nhllllDDic of Mr. House
(Democrat) against the Republican party,
and especially ni& admirable showing op or
the shameless manner In which the present
Administration has rewarded every man
connected with the Returning, Board ras
calities in 1870, hurt the reelings or me Re
publican members, but it opened a way for
them to get off political tirades they have
been nursing for months. Neither Crow
ley, Young, Butterworth nor Richardson
bad ever made a speech of any consequence
ia Cosgress, and to abuse the South and
the Democratic party la so easy.; The two
last named are uncommonly good speak
ers, but very few. - Democrats listened to'
what they said.
! "The. North Carolina members have re
ceived information that not one of the State,
Committee which yesterdsy met at Raleigh
and appointed four delegates at large to
Cincinnati is for Mr. Tildca." Special to
Richmond Dispatch.
We think this is an error. If any
delegates were appointed we oyer
looked it. The State Committee, as
we understand it, exercised no such
power. The state Convention will
elect the delegates at large. Mr.
Tilden will get no delegates from
North Carolina unless the people are
misrepresented. "
There are but few men in the world
who possess more grit than Stanley,
the African explorer. He is a man
of great pluck, endurance and perti
nacity. Already four out of his
twelve or fifteen white companions
have s ttoo urn bod to the influence f
the African climate and the severe
toil among the cataracts of the Con
go, but he still holds to his purpose to
cross the continent again, although
he expects to lose al his reliablf com
pantons on the way.
Some of the papers insist that be
cause majority of .the papers are fori
selling the . Western JUepbant that it
is good reason why it should be done.
Numbers cannot make a wrong a
right. But we do not understand
that a majority of the papers favor
the Best bill as it is. We rather
think the majority is the other way.

Early yesterday evening, the New Mar

the stalls only were occupied, many of the
proprietors being unable to make the trans
fer to their new quarters on the short no

fit .beef and sundry carcasses of plump
porkers hanging on the hooks, betokened
business on the morrow.
A bsnd of music was in attendance to
enliven the occasion and the ladies of St.

the occasion, dispensed refreshments and
bouquets to the throng.
"Mr. G. P. Lamb, who occupies s stand in

A constantly augmented crowd, of all

to be but a universal expression of approval

Death Ireaa a Spider Bite.
Last Thursday, Jimmie Yarnam, a little
boy about 15 or 16 years old, while picking
up roots, &c, on the fsrm of Mr. Columbus
Swain, ia Brunswick county, was bitten by
a very poisonous spider, of the black kind,
having red spots on it, snd died within
twenty-four hours afterwards. He was
bitten on the left wrist, near several large
veins, and the poison was carried so rapidly
through his system, and the pain so severe,
as to almost paralyze his left leg before be
could reach the house, which was only a
short distance from the field. Every remedy
that could be thought of was applied, but
without relief to the sufferer. For about
ten hours before be died he had very severe
8pssms. in rapid succession, which con
tinued until the breath left the. body. At
the time of interment, which was about
twenty-four hours after he died, the body
was very much swollen, and large black
splotches bad formed about the face and
neck.
Mr. J. B. Mercer, of New Supply, Bruns

particulars, would be glsd to know of some

were arraigned on the ' charge' of 'eaterlng

Thursday night, for tb purpose of rob

Carr,.wbo had an : inter view- with Thos
Puryesr and Wm. Tafleyi two eolored men,
who had glyen.ip'imjrtjbV
isbove parties, and it was the opinion of the
officer that evidence 6 a more',' direct and
positive cbafaiiter would be'Veqatsite to fix
the -erime upon them.- It was there
fore arranged : with the decoys, Pur
yesr and Talley,.. who had formerly
been regularly, employed in the To
bacco Factory, that the parties should
make a raid upon the factory Thurs
day night, so that they could be caught in
the act. Officer Carr',. with policemen
H. Woebse, Lewis. Gordon and Robert
Moore; stationed themselves in the fsctory.
and a few minutes before ten o'clock Mer-
tick, Baucam and. Puryear entered the
building through a window leaving Talley
outside to watch. . When they had fairly
gptten into the bouse Officnr Carr flashed
the rays of a dark lantern suddenly into
the face of one of the thieves, and he com
menced praying. : They were all immedi
ately secured, the pistols in the bands of
the determined looking policemen con
vincing them- tbst-resistance- might prove
dangerous, and Merrick and Baucam were
forthwith manacled and taken to the guard
house.
Puryear and Talley testified that they
had formerly worked in the factory, but
had finally accepted Situations on the rail
road, near Florence, but they were not
suited with .their employment and deter
mined to come back to , Wilmington ; tha
they met up with Merrick and Baucam on
the road, and they proposed to go "forag
ing" in other words, committing highway
robbery; that they were afraid" of the men
and concluded to fall ia with the arrange
ment, and they formed themselves into, a
regular band of highwsymen and robbers ;
that they stopped a tramp on the road who
had three, silk handkerchiefs, and the two
men proposed to kill him and take the
handkerchiefs, but Puryesr and Talley pre
vailed upon them not to do so ; that after
they reached Wilmington the witnesses
were in constant fear of Merrick and Bau
cam, who threatened .them, with death if
they did not join in their house-breaking
schemes, etc., and finally to nd themselves
of the persecutions of the two men they
lodged information against them. . .
. Officer Carr testified as to the plan de
vised for capturing the thieves, snd the
facts attending their apprehension; and po
licemen Woebse and Gordon were also ex
amined. Officer Gordon testified that he
took two razors from Merrick,6ne of which
wss concealed in one ol.his. hoot-legs and
the other in bis breast-pocket. .. .. .
I John Merrick stated, that he was born and
raised in Wilmington, and E. Baucaam, as
he gave his name in Court, said he was from
Wadesboro, Anson county, and formerly
belonged to Mr. AlfredBaucam. .
The twp men were ordered to give a jus
tified bond in the sum of $250 each for
their appearance at the' next term of the
Criminal Court, and John Merrick was re
quired to give an additional bond of $50 for
carrying concealed weapons. Both were
turned over to the Sheriff and committed to
jail. : ' '
We learn that there are several other
cases' sgainSt Merrick, one of which is for
stealing a pair of boots from s eolored men
at Florence. ''.
;. We should bsye "stated in. the proper

as to the; good character of Puryear and

MBS. WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP. Rev.
Sylvanus Cobb thus writes fn 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
odcre: in our own family it has moved a blessing?
iadeed, by giving an infant troubled with oolic
pains, quiet sleep, ana us parents unDrosen rest as
sight. Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Hera is an article which works to perfection, and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub
awakes as bnght as a button.' And during the
process of teething its value is incalculable. We
have frequently heard mothers say they would not
be without it from the birth of the child till it had
finished with the teethmz slese. on anv considera
tion whatever. Sold by ail druggists. S3 cents a
