Jacobs, who was Chairman of the Tilden Conven tion, creates a great deal of talk in political circles in New York, and also no little consternation. In his first speech he declared "it was the unanimous sentiment of the Conven tion that the delegates should go to Cincinnati unpledged and free."

Chatham is still longing for tbis to take place in her limits, while Granville, de spoiled and impoverished more than either of her sisters, has, by the good conduct and prudent management of her Democratic officials, long since been promptly meeting all her obligations. From all por tions of tbe county there come to us most .distressing accounts of the injury, to plant beds by the 'flies. We venture the assertion that,, with the exception of a few parties in Oxford, Granville county is almost solid in the de sire to have Gen. R. Cox nominated for Congress. . It is generally conceded by the Bar, who are well qualified to form an opinion, that Judge Seymour is one of, if not tbe best Judge now riding in the State. Mr M.

River Thieves at Work. When the alarm of fire was -sounded Monday night, which was found to be on the inside of a small shanty just east of the railroad, at the C. C. depot, the watchmen from the Wilmington Compress Company's yard and the railroad depot hurried to the spot to assist in putting out the fire, and while they were absent some thief or thieves stole a bale of cotton from the rail road wharf, placed it in a small boat in readiness for the purpose and put off with it. - The watchman at the Compress, upon returning to his post after the fire had been extinguished, discovered the thieves ma king off with their booty up the river, and lodged information with the proper parties, whereupon the services of special deputies Strode, Whitney and Statcher were se cured, and they were put on the track. Upon arriving at Hilton they discovered tbe bale of cotton on the opposite shore, with a part of its contents re moved, and, near by, "the boat in which tbe thieves bad taken it away, but could not see or hear anything of the parties to the theft. What was left of the bale of cotton was placed in the boat and taken back to the depot. -There seems to be no doubt that the shanty was fired to distract the attention of the Watchmen while the cotton was being removed.

A simple, pore, harmless remedy, that cares every time, and pre vents disease by keeping the blood pure, stomach regular, kidneys and liver active, is the greatest blessing conferred upon man.

' HOW HISTORY RECALLS THE PAST.-Some twenty five years ago all England was convulsed by the discovery made that Sir James Grahame, the then Postmaster General, had taken the liberty of opening mails addressed to private citizens. It re sulted in his removal in disgrace. This recalls the wise decision recently made by Hen. D. M. Key, the Postmaster General, who has ordered that letters addressed to M. A. Dauphin, at New Orleans, La., or same person at Ne. 319 Broadway, New York City, N.Y., relative to The Louisiana State Lottery Company, be forwarded without interference, being convinced of its being honestly conducted. MRS. WIN8LOWS SOOTHING SYRUP. Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes In 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 byrup we can speak from knowl edge; in our own family it has proved a blessing indeed, by giving an infant troubled with colic pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unbroken rest at night. Mest parents can appreciate these blessings. Here 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 aa '-bright as a button." And during the grocess of teething its value is incalculable. We ave frequently heard mothers say they would not be without it from the birth of the child till it had finished with the teething siege, on any considera tion whatever.
