Great Britain has 31,628,000 in
habitants, ancTTmt 3,000,000 voters.
The United Statts numbers probably
50,000,000,wiLh over 8,000,000 voters.
Acklen, of very doubtful reputa
tion, has gone to Louisiana to look
after his renomination. The country
has had quite enough of Acklen and
his methods. Let him step down and
out.
In 1S79 there were 250,565 imrni
grant.s to the United States. During
the first quarter of 1879 at New York
there were 10,858 immigrants landed.
During the first quarter of this year
the number exceeds 36,000. The
March returns are not complete. The
New York Journal of Commerce
thinks they will reach 50,000.
The Democrats in Congress are
constantly engaged in personal spats
for the amusement of their adversa
ries. The latest was between Sparks,
of Illinois, aud Clymer, of Pennsyl
vania. The former shook his fist in
the latter'a face and called him a liar.
No blood. Wi are not sore if the
code is not an improvement on such
hoosier manners.
Mr. George C. Gorham, a well
known politician about Washington,
has been interviewed by the Post.
He says Grant alone can prevent his
own nomination. He says his will be
the only name that will be heard at
Chicago. He says it is ridiculous to
claim more than 220 votes for Blaine,
and that Sherman cannot get more
than 100. He says Grant will be
nominated, when the bloody-shirt
will be furled in Grant's pocket.
It is believed in Washington that
the dirty slander of Senator Hill is
promoted by prominent Republicans,
and that the dirty work will be kept
up as long as the Kellogg contest is
unsettled. The Richmond Common-
icealth's correspondent writes:
. "Mr. Hill has not yielded one inch to
this infamous conspiracy, and will not do
so. He has not sent any one of his friends
to this creature to buy her silence or ask it
on any terms. The proof of conspiracy to
procure this woman to make a false charge
against Mr. Hill is, I bear, in the possession
of Mr. Merrick, and will be made public
at the proper timey" I ?attr told that this
woman has accused at least half a dozen
other gentlemen m Georgia of being the
father of her child, some or whom were
foolish enough to pay her hush-money to
get rid of the affair."
Robeson, Hiscock, blow-yoor-horn
Conger, and other Stalwarts have al
ready given notice that they wil
speak on the Army bill amendment
concerning the employment of troops
at the polls. These are the fellows
who want a free and honest election,
hut they are, however, bitterly op
posed to all amendments that will
keep thft bayonets from surrounding
the polls. This reminds us of the
anxiety to build the Dacktown road
but the opposition of the anxions was
steady to ail amendments guarantee
ing and compelling the same. Some

men do see through a glass very
darkly.
Col. John S. Mosby has shown
himself faithful to his office and coun
try. He disappointed his friends in
tne oouin oy nis coarse in joining
the Radicals and accepting office un
der Grant and Hayes, but he has kept
his honor clean, we believe. He has
not pleased the fraudulent Adminis
tration. Daring his first year he turned
over many thousand dollars more to
his Government in fees, &c, than
his predecessor had . done. He says
he has received several rebukes from
the Hayes set, but no encourage
ment. He writes:
"The reasons why I have not returned
are these: I have been threatened with dis
missal for uncovering frauds out here, and
I want to give the administration an oppor
tunity ot carrying out their threats, and
thereby signalizing their zeal for civil ser
vice rerorm by punishing the only man
whom they have appointed to. office who
has tried to reform it. I contiBue to hold
the fort here because I have not yet com
pleted my investigations, and if I were to
resign now and go borne the ring would
claim it as a victory for the thieves, and
say that 1 resigned under compulsion. I
shall show them that I will remain as long
as i cnoose."

Owing to the political meetings in the va
rious wards of the city the audience was
only fair. 'Udder more favorable circum
stances there would' have been a full house.
-The entertainment was the most elegant
and refined , we remember to have seen.
Mrs. Siddons is a lady pf very beautiful
and engaging presence. u We have never
seen a handsomer' woman On any stage It
was worth the price to see her in her rich
and exquisite costume. She is a most ver
satile and accomplished- reader. She is in
tensely realistic in her various impersona
tions. There is nothing ordinary or com
mon place about her. . She is full of grace,
dramatic Are and thrilling power, and
shows herself xa 'perfect artist in every
truth. We cannot atop to criticize. It was
certainly a charming entertainment, with
out flaw, or break, ia which elocution and
grace .or beauty, were all combined in a
most fascinating degree. Her "Creed of
the Bells," her walkiDg scene in Macbeth,
the plaintiff, thrilling pleading of Arthur
with - Hubert these and all; were given
with 'Wondrous effect. We are not ex
travagant in all this, as every lady or gen
tleman of taste who was so fortunate as to
witness her impersonations in which genius
and versatility were manifold from first
to last1 will heartily agree. We could pro
mise her a fall house If she were to appear
again in . Wilmington. We hope to see her
again in our midst before she closes her
final tour.
Found la a Dytac condition.
Yesterday morning, about 5 o'clock, as
Capt. Goodman, of the police, force, accom
panied by Sergeant Bender and officers
Green and Cappfl, "were on their way home
after performing night "duty, they were in
formed by a colored man named Jack
Forbes that a man was lying on tbe side
walk, aear tbe corner of Seventh and Castle
streets, apparently ia a dying condition.
The officers went to the spot indicated and
found the euffererto be Orrin Cumber, a
member of the street force in the employ of
the city. He was taken into tbe store of
Mr. Klander, corner of Seventh and Castle
streets, where he died in a few minutes
afterwards, notwithstanding the efforts of
Capt. Goodman and his oompamoaa, who
rubbed aim thoroughly With camphor, etc.,
and applied other restoratives. Coroner
Hewlett was notified, who soou afterwards
held an inquest over the remains as they
lay in Mr. Klander's store. The evi
dence was to theaeffect that he had been
drinking considerably during the evening,
but wasjsupposed to have started towards
home about 11 or 12 o'clock. Being ex
posed, while in a helpless condition, to the
storm of cold wind arid, rain that prevailed
Thursday night, it is not to be4 wondered at
that the unfortunate man was found in a
dying condition. Tbe jury returned a ver
dict to the effect that deceased came to his
death from exposure, &c.
Deceased was about 40 years of age. He
enlisted at the commencement of the late
war in Company D, Third N. C. Infantry,
under Capt. Edward Savage, and served
during the'enWewar,"beTng wounded two
or three times, and making a good soldier.
He had been in the employ of the city for
some time, and worked as usual on the day
preceding his death, leaving the City Hall
about half past five o'clock in the evening.
After the inquest the remains were re
moved in a wagon, by direction of the
Chief of Police, to his home on Eighth,
between Dawson and" WrighTstreets.
