An International Sanitary Con
gress is to be held in Washington.
Congress passed a joint resolution:
authorizing it, which has been ap I
lirovei
.d by the President.
It is not thought to be possible
that Congress should adjourn on the
31st inst., the day determined upon
by a vole 0fn.no House. There are
several bills of great importance that;
cannot be disposed of hardly by that
time.
Ii is bad for West Point when
Gen. Scbofield is made to give way
for John Pope. This action is caused
by ihe necessities of the Whittaker
cise. The negro cadet is cornered,
ami his advisers demand the sacrifice
of a soldier,-
Iowa has a fearful crime. A man

Washington in behalf of a proper ob
servance of the Lord's Day. Judge
Strong, of the Supreme Court, ia to
preside, and several prominent gen
tlemen will speak, among them Mr.
Randolph Tucker, of Virginia.
The St. Louis limes says that Mis
souri is not for Tilden. It adds:
"Whether the delegations so far reported
fr Mr. Tilden be in fact for him or not.we
are id no error in declaring that a great ma
jority of the party in this State at this time
would regard bis nomination as a greater
m sfortune than has befallen the Democra
cy since 1860."
oncanDot make the people go
for a man when they do not Arant
him. The Field boom in Richmond
is of tbig kind. The Dispatch says
there are not five hundred Field men
in that city. Yet it was telegraphed
to Washington that of the seventy
delegates chosen fifty-one were for
Judge Field. Of course this was
not true.
"Bildad" of the Richmond State
says of Hampton and Pendleton: .
"A few such speeches as those of Hamp
ton and Pendleton on the Kellogg case
would be worth more to the Democratic
party than all the volumes of oratory its
leaders gave vent to during the extra ees
and since. Now if Lamar and Bayard
and Ransom and Thurman, who are be
lieved to hold substantially the same views,
fo,!ow lhe leadership of Hampton,
ibe Senate Elections Committee will-have
aone their party a service by bringing up
the Kellogg case."
The Chicago Inter-Ocean, Grant
organ, sticks toils figures. On Thurs
day it gave the vote of delegates
elected to Chicago as follows : Grant,

- Washington is getting exoited over
the Hanlan-Couitney boat-race for
$6,000, that is expected to come off
on to-morrow. Great preparations
have been made, the route has been
surveyed, the time keepers appoint
ed, and so on. The Richmond Dis
patch's special says ;
4The course from the acqueduct bridge,
just below Georgetown, where they start,
.10 a point. near the Long bridge, is two
miles and a half, so that the distance going
and returning will be five miles. All the
available space along the river will be
crowded with spectators, and parties are
now erecting pavilions at eligible points,
Red flags are to be placed at. intervals of
one-eighth of a mile to indicate the route
to be followed. Courtney used his paper
boat this afternoon, and, I beard, was very
much pleased with it. There is already
talk of a race between Hanlan and Rieley
after that with Courtney is over. The boat
clubs are making arrangements on a liberal
scale, so that spectators may be informed
of the progress of the race. General Myer,
of the Signal Service, will detail sergeants
to carry out the signal plan already deter
mined upon."
We notice in the last Statesvillo
Landmark an exceedingly credita
ble paper every way and certainly one
of the best in the State an article on
Statesville as a delightful plaoe at
which to spend the summer. It has
a mineral spring within the corporate
limits which is thought to possess
superior mediciual virtue. The cli
mate is unusually bracing and salu
brious. The nights are always plea
sant for social enjoyment or Bleeping.
It is claimed that there is no malaria
and none was ever known. The town
is pretty, ' and the country around
romantic We note these things be
cause so many Wilmingtomans seek
the West during a long vacation in
the hot summer months.

Brunawleat Polities.
After the regular Democratic convention
of Brunswick county was organized yes
terday, elected permanent officers, passed a
resolution authorizing the Chairman to ap
point the delegates to the State and Con
gressional conventions and acted on two
resolutions offered by Dr. Curtis in regard
to adjourning the convention. Mr George
H. Bellamy proposed that the McKoy men
bolt or withdraw from the convention,
whereupon a number, variously estimated
at from 85 to 57, retired.
After organizing with Dr. W. G. Curtis
as Chairman and Mr. H.M. Durant as Sec
retary, he meeting appointed delegates to
the State and Congressiona conventions,
and passed a resolution instructing the del
egates to the latter convention to support
Judge McKoy for Congress.
Those who bolted the regular convention
claim that a motion of Dr. Curtis to adjourn
to some future day was not put by the
Chair, and that there wis no representation
from two townships and an inadequate rep
resentation from a third.
Those who composed the regular con
vention call attention to' the fact that the
call of the Democratic Executive Commit
tee was for a mass convention of the Dem
ocratic party without regard to township
representation; that the motion of Dr. Cur
tis was put by the Chair and rejected; that
Dr. Curtis himself only claimed that his
motion was not put in the exact form in
which he offered it; that the bolting con
vention bad no representation at all from
some townships (if this question is to be
considered at all) and almost none from
other townships; that the regular conven
tion, after the bolt, was composed of a
very large majority of the Democrats pres
ent, and that the official proceedings signed
by the Chairman and Secretaries, show that
everything was done regularly and in order.

In accordance with the call ot tbe County
Executive Committee, the Democrats of
Brunswick county assembled in mass
Convention at George W. McKeithan's
tore Monday, May 17th, 1880.
The Convention was cauea to order at

8. R. Chinnis to act as temporary Chair
man, and W. W. Drew and Rev. Joseph
L. Keen to act as temporary Secretaries.
On motion of F. M. Moore, the tempo
rary Chairman and Secretaries were made

The obiectof the Convention was ex-
'plained by the Chairman in a few appro
priate and welt cuosen remaras.
On motion, the Chairman was empow ered
to appoint two delegates ffom each of
the townships to represent the county in
the State Convention, to be held in Raleigh
on the 17th of June, and two from each
township to represent the county in the
Congressional Convention at Fayetteville

Dr. W. G. Curtis then moved that the

County at Large A,. W. Rieger.
On motion, the Chairman and Secretary
were added to both lists of delegates.
Moved and carried that any delegate un
able to attend the Convention, will give his
proxy only to a regular authorized delegate.
The following resolutions were intro
duced and carried unanimously;
;The Democracy of Brunswick county.here
assembled in mass' Convention, resolve,
1st That it is the highest duty to avow
their opinions upon a subject so important
indistinct and unequivocal terms; it is
hereby declared as the sense of this Con
vention, that we enter upon the political
contest of the year 1880, more deeply than
ever imbued with the necessity of main
taining true Democratic principles as the
only means of perpetuating Hepublican
government, and preserving inviolate tbe
liberties of the people; LoiiLty to tbe
corrupt means by which the leaders of
party have hitherto forced upon us our
rulers and our political .creeds; implacable
enmity against the prevalent demoralizing
system of rewards for political subserviency
and of punishment for political indepen
dence ; disgust for the wild hunt after office
which characterizes this ago. These on tbe
one hand. On the other, imitation of tbe
practice of tbe former days of the Repub
lic, and admiration of the maxim that
"office should seek the man and not uian
the office." and of the rule, that the just
mode of ascertaining fitness for office is the
capability, the,f aitbf ulness and the honesty
of the candidate.
2d. That Democratic principles remain
unchanged, as they were founded by Jef
ferson and advocated and enforced by
Jackson. They embrace the strict preser
vation of the constitutional rights of. the
States, in the people in whom have rested
all the powers of local self-government, un
awed by Federal interference, and the pro
tection of the purity of tbe ballot and tbe
freedom of elections from tbe introduction
of force or fraud.
3d. That Democratic success means
strict economy in all departments of gov
ernment,low taxation, of tariff i.for revenue,
honest money and honest agents. In
other words it means a thorough reform of
the past and present political corruptions
engendered by Radicalism.
4th. That the times need active, ener
getic, sound-headed, strong-minded men of
business, and that the approaching can
vass necessitates as the nominees of our
arty bold, able and eloquent leaders.
That,-we would have just such a man in
Charles M. Stedman for Congress, he hav
ing shown by bis own individual success,
and by his political acts and record, his ca
pacity to promote tbe welfare of his con
stituents, and we hereby recommend hint
for Congress to our fellow Democrats and
instruct our delegates to give him an ener
getic and thorough support for the nomina
tion. 5th. That we are gratified to see the cor
dial unanimity with which Maj. Stedman's
own county has endorsed him in her Con
vention, and that this has been followed up
in Bladen and Pender, where he is well
known. This earnest recognition by his
home people and near neighbors, bespeaks
bis strength, worth and availability.
6th. That in his position on the bench of
the Superior Court, Judge Allmond A. Mc
Koy is a valuable publio servant, and we
feel sure that the people of this District
will be pleased to retain his services to the
full end of the term for which he was
elected, and we deprecate any policy By
his too gracious friends which might in
troduce into the Judicial ofilce unseemly
political hankerings. We do not believe it
consistent with sound Democracy to have
our Judges candidates for political office
while they wear tbe ermine.
7th. That the Democracy of Brunswick
county heartily endorse tbe Hon. Daniel
G. Fowle for Governor, and our delegates
to tbe State Convention are hereby in
structed to support him for that position
and to use all honorable means to secure
his nomination:
8th. The Democracv of Brunswick coun
ty pledges itself to support the nominee of
the party.
On motion the thanks of tbe Convention
were tendered the Chairman and Secreta
ries for the impartial manner in which they
have discharged their duties.
atOn motion tbe Democratic papers of the
District were requested to publish tbe pro
ceedings of this Convention as they appear
in the Stab.
There being no further business the Con
vention adjourned sine die.

We publish, by "request, the. following
account of a meeting held in Brunswick
county yesterday:
The Democratic voters of Brunswick
county met in Convention at McKeithan's
Store to-day, at 12 M., for the purpose of
appointing delegates to-the State and Con
gressional Conventions. "
Mr. S. R. Chinnis was elected perma
nent Chairman.
After the meeting was duly organized
Mr. A. W. Rieger moved tbe chair ap
X -
MAY 18, 1880.
point two delegates from each township to
the Convention at Fayetteville.
This motion was objected to by Mr.
George H. Bellamy, on the ground that
there was no-expression of tbe opinion on
the part of the meeting as to their choice of
candidates, and Mr. Bellamy then moved
that this choice should be ascertained be
fore appointing the delegates, which mo
tion was ruled out of order by tbe Chair
man, 'and Mr. Rieger's motion put and car
ried. .
Dr. W. G. Curtis then moved that owing
to the fact that there was no representation
from tbe townships of Shallotte and Wac
camaw the Convention should adjourn to
meet May 24th, at Lockwood's 'Folly, for
the same purpose for which it met to-day,
which motion the Chairman refused to put,
and consequently there was a secession
meeting held, at which tbe following
proceedings occurred:
Whereas, At a meeting called by tbe
Chairman of the Executive Committee of
Brunswick county, it appearing that there
was no representative from the townships
of Shallotte and Waccamaw, and an inad
equate representation from Lockwood's
Folly, it was moved by Dr. W. G. Curtis,
and seconded by F. M. Moore, Esq., that
the Convention adjourn to meet on Monday,
the 24th of May, at Lockwood's Folly,
for tbe purpose of allowing those town
ships to be represented. And whereas, the
Convention did refuse to put the motion,
therefore a number of tbe Democrats of
Brunswick county, fiftyseven in all, it
being a large portion of those present, did
withdraw and organize a separate meeting,
at which the following proceedings were
bad:
Dr. W. G. Curtis was appointed Chair
man and Henry M. Durant Secretary.
Delegates to Fayetteville were ap
pointed. Tbe followiug resolutions, introduced by
George H. Bellamy, were unanimously
adopted :
Whereas, Tbe success of the Demo
cratic party in the coming campaign is
necessary to establish and perpetuate a free
Republican Government, be it
Resolved, That the Democratic party of
Brunswick county does hereby pledge itself
to exert its utmost in contributing to the
success of said party; and whereas, our
party suffered defeat in the last campaign
in tbe election of a Congressman from the
Third Congressional District by reason of
the apathy and want of interest manifested
in said election, and whereas it is highly
important to redeem this district, and it is
the belief of tbe Democracy of this county
that this end can only be accomplished by
nominating as our standard-bearer a man
who is sound in his principle, and is be
loved by tbe people, and thereby able to
bring out the full party strength, it is
hereby
Resolved, That the delegates appointed
by this Convention be and are hereby in
structed to vote for the nomination of Hon.
A. A. McKoy, of Sampson, who is a man
of the people, a farmer, and well qualified
by reason of his irreproachable character,
ability and learning to represent this Dis
trict in the next Congress. Be it further
Resolved, That the delegates to the State
Convention are hereby instructed to use
their discretion in the selection of State
officers, having in view always the success
of the party and the best interests of North
Carolina.
The delegates were empowered to ap
point proxies in case of their inability to
attend.
Delegates to the State Convention were
appointed.
The Democratic papers of the District
are requested topubliBh

TO TBB DBSIUCRATIC VOTERS OF
TUB THIRD CONGRESSIONAL
DISTRICT.
Mb. Editor: We notice in your issue
of the 15th inst., a communication from
Fayetteville headed as above, which strikes
us as rather extraordinary. The writer,
afterappealing to the Democratic voters in
the interest of the party and ureing tbe
necessity of redeeming the "Lost District,"
names Judge McKoy as tbe favorite man
and says "his friends do earnestly believe
that he can redeem this District more cer
tainly than any other candidate," and give
the following as their reasons
1st. "Because Judge McKoy is a native
and resident of Sampson county." Has
Sampson county a preemption on the Third
Congressional District that tbe claims of
Judge McKoy should have precedence over
some one of the favorite sons of the proud
old counties of Duplin or Onslow, who have
been always first in their, efforts to retain
possession of tbe "Lost District?"
2d. "Because he is a man of ability and
well qualified for tbe position." Has Du
plin no proud and faithful son who could
grace the hall of Congress with as much
credit to himself as Judge McKoy? and
who, unlike himself, is now unrecognized
and unprovided-for by the party ?
3rd. "Because he is personally known to
every man in the District, and has a greater
popularity than any other man in the Dis
trict." Mr. Editor, this flight of egotism
on tbe part of Judge McKoy's friends is so
monstrous that I offer no comment other
than to remind them that Judge JkfcKoy
was badly beaten for Congress in this Dis
trict (then constituted as it was in 1870
when Waddell carried it) once since the
war.
4th. "Because be is a sound Democrat.and
has never faltered in his devotion- to his
party and principles." What has become
of Col. Allen, Stallings, and others of Du
plin, and Scott and others of Onslow? Have
they faltered in their devotion to parry and
principles?
5th. "Because he is in the vigor of man
hood, and physically and intellectually
able to make a thorough and active can
vass if nominated." The gentlemen we
mention above, with others spoken of in
connection with the Congressional honors,
went into the army at the beginning of tbe
war, and there remained on half ra
tions and exposed without tbe necessa
ry clothing until the surrender, while
Judge McKoy was at his home enjoying
its comforts and the "Big Blues of Samp
son county," which may account for his
fine physical condition. The old soldiers
may suffer from rheumatism, and may be a
little thin, but if any of them are nominated
they will be able to march over the "Lost
District" in good time, lt is unnecessary
to say their heads are level on the necessi
ties of the country
6th. "Because he is free from any-rings or
combinations." Our soldier friends may
have been in rings (irons) at Point Lookout
or some other Federal prison during tbe
war, but at preseat we feel safe in saying
they are entirely free.
7th. "Because he can bring out the full
strength of the Democratic party of this
district." How about Col. Allen, whq but
for Judge McKoy would have been on the
bench to-day ? Could be not poll the full
strength of the party if nominated ?
8th. "Because ha is a man temperate in
his habits and with a character which in
no manner can be assailed." This may be
true ; if so it is a good reason why he
should remain on the bench for the remain
der of his term at least and should be kept
as free from political life as possible ; we
say keep tbe Judiciary away from politics,
regarding as we do the tendency to make
rrAii
WHOLE NO. 3,981
politicians of some of our Judges as being
fraught with dangers to the rights of the
people second only to the experiment of
electing a man to the Presidential chair for
a third term. Duvun.

Xxtract or Report from the Celebrated Physician,
BrasmoB"Wllaon, of London. Eb gland: "Several se

timely use of Colden's Liebig's Extract of Beef and
Tonic Invigerator."

CONGRESS WATER. None genuine sold on
draught. Its superiority as a cathartic and altera
tive consists in its entire freedom from every thing
bitter, acid or crude that produces headache, inter
nal soreness, and tends to destroy the mucous mem
brane. All mineral waters that are dangerous irri
tants may be known by an acid after-taste.
"I DON'T WANT ;THAT STUFF," is what a
lady of Boston said to her husband when he brought
home some medicine to cure her of sick headache
and neuralgia which had made her miserable for
fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter it
was administered to her with Euch good results,
that she continued its use until cured, and made so
enthusiastic in its praise, that she induced twenty
two of the best families in her circle to adopt it as
their regular family medicine. That -stuff ,f is Hop
Bitters. Standard.
WHO IS MRS. WIN8LOW ?-As this question
is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is a
lady who for upwards of thirty years has untiringly
devoted her time and talents as a Female Physician
and nurse, principally among children, bhe has
especially studied the constitution and wants of this
numerous class, and, as a result of this effort, and
practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime spent as
nurse and physician, she has compounded a Sooth
in Syrup for children teething. It operates like
magic giving rest and health, and Is moreover sure
to regulate the bowels. In consequence of this ar
ticle Mrs. Winslow is becoming world renowned as
a benefactor of the race; children certainly do bisk
up and bless her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are
DA.O.Y sold and used here. We think Mrs. Winslow
has immortalized her name by this invaluable arti
cle, and we sincerely believe thousands of children
have been saved from an early grave by its timely
use, and that millions yet unborn will share its
benefits, and unite in calling her blessed. No mo
ther has discharged her duty to her suffering little
one, in our opinion, until she has given lt the bene
fit of Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup. Try it. mo
thers tbt it ho w . Ladies'" Visitor, New York
city. Sold by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle.
