We copied yesterday what the
Richmond Dispatch said of the first
reading of the peerless Scott-Siddona.
We reproduce what the State said ed
itorially of the second night:
"Mrs. Scotl-Siddons bad a much better
bouse last night to bear and enjoy her sec
ond reading, and we have seldom seen a
better pleased audience. She possesses
rare and diversified powers of voice, tone
and expression to please, and we are no
longer surprised at her wonderful success
in reading, which she has brought to the
perfection of an art."
Representative Taylor, of Tennes
see, made an earnest speech in the
House in behalf of the Mexican vet
erans. He pointed to the fact that
only one-fifth survived and that the
territory acquired by their valor was
worth now $600,000,000. He said,
in conclusion:
"If there is one spark of humanity in na,
one throb of patriotic loye and sympathy
in our hearts, one pulsation of pride in our
country's glorious past, we cannot afford to
let this bill die on the calendar cannot re
sist the appeals of these old veterans."

000,000 ofTJ. S. Government bonds,
and is in the market buying. It is
reported that he aims to hold $50,
000,000 before he sails for Europe in
a few days. This fact leads the
New York correspondent of the Phil
adelphia Ledger to say:
"There are few kings or emperors in the
Old World or New that could lay their
bands, at a moment's notice, on so colossal
a fortunea fact which but goes to show
that, measured by mere wealth, our Amer
ican railroad monarch is a much more im
portant personage than any of them."
We gave the leading; features , of
Representative Armfieid's bill the
other day, that which repeals the tax
on spirits distilled from fruits, and
that which,: gives the' appointment of
deputy collectors to the Judge of the
mm
-
VOL. XXVI. NO
lJistric. Court. The bill provides
further that after January 1st, 1881,'
no storekeeper shall be appointed or
required for a distillery, except
distilleries making spirits from grain
which make an average of thirty-two
or more gallons of spirituous liquors
per day; the pay of all storekeepers
is to be $2 per day. This bill also,
provides that after July, 1880, it
shall be lawful for a producer of to
bacco to sell his leaf tobacco to any
person lor his own consumption or
the consumption of his family, not
exceeding ten pounds at any one time
or in any one week, without tax or
license. The tax on liquors distilled
from grain is fixed at 25 cents a gal
lon. "
It is generally believed that Grant
will win at Chicago, but the follow
ing will enable the discerning to see
more clearly the cloud that is some
thing larger than a man's hand. It-
is from the Richmond State's Wash
ington letter: , i
"The Grant movement is not so flourish
ing as it was. The success of Blaine in
capturing county after county in Illinois,
and in winning over the Pennsylvania dele
gation, is astonishing Grant managers. Mr.
Conkling, having no second choice, ia still
strongly for Grant, but be is about the only
Grant man who does not privately admit
that Grant's chances are not improving."

The police report that a fire broke out
yesterday morning, about 2 p'clock, in (he
still-yard of Messrs. Wilder & Morton, in
the northern section of the city, but the
flames were extinguished by the private
watchman and1 Officer "Woebse, -of 4 the

thus, la all probability, preventing a de
structive CQcflagraUou- '
. . Since, writing . the . above we have'' ob
tained fuller, particulars of the fire.; Mr.
.Sylvester Burrows, , the .watchman lon
Messrs.' .Wilder & Morton's distillery yard,
reports that when he first discovered the
fire he thought l was on 8 but as it
continued to grow larger ne mvesugaiea
further, and came to the conclusion that it
was among a large lot ' of rosm; Under
this impression, and knowing how unable,
be would be to cope with fire among such
a pile of rosin, he hastsnedHO the offlee and
telephoned the alarm for five minutes with
out getting any answer, He then hurried
back, and found that the. fire, instead of
being among the rosin, was rapidly con
suming the division fence between the still
yard and the W. & W. Railroad, together
with about a half cord of wood piled up
against it. In the meantime.he had been
crying Vflre" lustily he ran, and soon had
to assist him Officer Herman Woebse, from
the "Paddy's Hollow" beat, who heard the
alarm, and Mr. Dallas Orrell, wvtchman for
Messrs. Chess, Carley & Co., and by their
combined exertions the flames were .ex
tinguished, after consuming about five feet
of the fence, and burning and charring the
half cord of wood . . . 1 ,
After nipping the incipient conflagration
in the bud the three men were looking
around when they discovered a bottle con
taining a small portion of kerosene oil, on
the side of the Tehee next to the railroad.
Some idea of the narrowness of the escape
from a serious conflagration may be formed.
when we state that within about ten feet of
the flames were piled eight thousand bar
rels of rosin and forty cords of pioe wood,
while the oil works of Mesrs. Chess, Carley
& Co. were close by.

- Pursuant to previous notice a large num
ber of the citizens- of Onslow, and some
from Pender "ahl btheFcountTes, assembled
at the Court House, in Jacksonville, on
Monday, the 5th of April, 1880. The object
was to further the cause of the construction
of tbe proposed Burgaw & Onslow Railroad.
Mr. Franklin Thompson was called to the
chair and Mr. Richard Canady was ap
pointed Secretary. The Chairman endorsed
the enterprise. He sbowedthat for the want
of suitable transportation it. costs one-half
of the value of the exports of Onslow. to
put them in market. James G.Scott, Esq.,
then followed in an eloquent appeal in be
half of the road. He then introduced Dr.
S. 8. Satchwell, of Pender, who was tbe
principal speaker on the occasion, He set
forth in a plain, practical manner, the ad
vantages of the road, the ways and means
by which it is proposed to be built, its pros
pects, and - the hopes . of its friends.
The amount necessary for organizing the
company, under the charter, bad been
nearly raised .by subscription. Build this
road, said be, to New River, secure an ap
propriation from Congress, as could be
done, for improving its navigation, and
Onslow would leap forth with renewed
prosperity and enhanced value of her real
estate, and would have an easy and cheap
ingress and egress to the markets of her
own choice. The relief afforded by the
recent extra session of the Legislature
would better enable our people to engage
in these local measures of development
and progress. Ia this relation he endorsed
the action of the. General Assembly in
selling the Western N. C. Road, and com
plimented Governor Jarvis for bis patriotic
manliness and thorough uprightness of
purpose for what- he and other State offi
cers had done under the injustice and
wrong heaped upon him and them in the
course of the' recent excitement upon this
grave question of State policy. Time and
a better understanding among the masses
would dissipate the disaffection of his own
and other eastern counties upon this subject.
While we ought to desire the good opin
ion of our fellow-citizens, we should have
courage enough not to he turned from the
path of duty and right by any fear of popu
lar disapprobation. He spoke of the strong
claims for support of the enterprising city
of Wilmington. As her friend he could but
think that if she would avail herself of pass
ing opportunities for improving her mate
rial condition, her citizens should attach
more importance to these home measures
and local schemes of internal improvements
that are being inaugurated and carried for
ward in these contiguous and neighboring
counties.
Dr. T. Sanders.of Pender, and Dr. Duffy,
of Onslow, were then called out and made
spirited speeches in behalf of tbe proposed
road.
The subscription books Were then Opened
and.au encouraging amount of new sub
scriptions were pledged. A fine spirit pre
vailedthr0oghout tbe entire meeting and
the friends of the scheme are much encou
raged. Thanks were extended to the officers of
the meeting, .
The Secretary was requested to report
the proceeding for publication in the Wil
mington papers, the News and Observer, of
Raleigh, the Warsaw Brief Mention and the
GoldBboro Messenger.
On motion, the meeting then adjourned,
to meet at Ricblands on to-morrow at 12
o'clock M.
