We learn that the result was highly gratifying to those present, evidencing a commendable degree of discipline and very decided proficiency in all of the studies in which they were examined.

TO TUB OBnOORATIC VOI'EUS OF 1HK VHWD C9NGRESS10N 1L ; DISTBICT. - The Convention to nominate a candidate for Congresa has been called here in Fay- cucviuc uu me xa uay or June, 1880, and probably the gravest duty will rest on the the Democratic oartv was first in iou. ; The Third-Congressional District is now anown as tne "Lost District" lost bv the apathy and a want of interest which was manuestea in tbe election of Col. Waddelt in tne last camDaizn Now it ia highly important to the welfare or our Btate and District that this the "Aiosi iiistrict" must and shall h- r deemed; and the question of its redemp tion appeals loudly to the wisdom and pa- uiuuBiuuj. every gooa citizen. Col. Waddell's defeat was due, to a great extent, to the fact that he was from New Hanover county; and although the rest of the District had tried to overcome his nom ination, be was repeatedly nominated, until the people saw resistance was in vain; and there is to day a very strong and decided opposition to the nomination of any candi date from New Hanover, and a very intense desire that the next candidate of the Demo cratic party should hail from some other county; and in order to insure success in the coming campaign, it behooves the Demo cratic voters to put forth as their standard bearer a man who is known by the people, and who can bring out the full strength of the Democratic party. So,, then, in order to recover the lost strength 'of the Democratic party, it is highly neceaury lb at the next nominee should come from a county of the District other than New Hanover; and in looking around among the public men of this Dis trict, no one is more prominent before the people than Judge A. A. McKoy, and his friends do earnestly believe that he can redeem this District more certainly than any other candidate, and give the following as their reasons: 1st Because Judge McKoy is a native and resident of Sampson county. 2d. Because be is a man of ability and well qualified for the position. 3d. Because he is personally known to every man in the District, and has a greater popularity than any other man in the District. 4th. Because he is a Bound Democrat, and has never faltered in his devotion to bis party and principles. 5th. Because he is in the vigor of man hood, and physically and intellectually able to make a thorough and active canvass if nominated. 6th. Because he is free from the shacklea of any ring or combination. an. .Because be can brine out the full strength of the Democratic party in this LMstrict. 8th. Because he ia a man Ipmnorola in his habits, and with a character which, in no manner, can oe assailed.
