VOL. XXVI.NO. 57.
The Washington Iostt that started
the Seymour boom, now says he will
not be a candidate because he cannot
carry New York. An officer of Con
gress from Utica, N. Y.,Mr. Sey
mours home, tells the Riohmond
Dispatch's correspondent! "that Mr.
Seymour is a strong t hearty man of
sixty-nine," and prefers another man
to himself fpr . the nomination, and
does not want it. Very good. But
suppose the people want him to have
it, what theu? Ue has; patriotism
enough to bow to the majestic voice
of freemen. In that instance the
voice of the people would be to him
as the voice of God. The Dispatch
has this to say: ;
"Mr. Seymour has never allowed the use
of his name in this connection, but has al
ways declined to do so. I Therefore, it
won't do to say that he refuses to allow
tbo further use ot his name.' 'More
over, - as it is absurd to say that
he couldn't carry New i York, we do
not believe that Mr. Seymour has
ever said so. On the
other hand, the Post eives us a telegram
from San Francisco savins that the entire
California delegation will go for Mr. Sey
mour if he will accept the nomination of
the Cincinnati Convention. Also, one from
Missouri saying that in Buchanan county
last Saturday, an old Virginian, ex-Go v.
Silas Woodson, made a speech in which be
declared himself in favor of Seymour and
Hendricks. Also, a telegram from Illinois,
saying that of the delegates from McDon
augh county to the Stale Convention six
are known to be for Seymour."
Judge David Davis has written a
letter bidding for the nomination for
President. The Kellyites like it and
think it opens the way for getting
rid of Tilden. The New York cor
respondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger writes of what Tammany
thinks about it as follows: 1
"They say it is a platform upon which
Democrats of every etripe and section can
conscientiously stand, and, what is more,
the maker of it occupies a pontion, as to
personal character, that would make him
absolutely proof against the shafts of the
enemy. Therefore they are willing to take
Judge David Davis at Cincinnati. Gen.
Tom wing,who is just now in the city, says
there is really nothine new in the issues as
presented by Judge Davis, though it is neces
sary sometimes that old truths should be
retold; and he does not think that, unless
be has something better than his letter to
back him, that gentleman's) strength in the
Convention will be very pronounced. It is
to be added, however, by wajr of qualify
ing this observation, that Mr. Ewing in
dulges the idea that it is entirely within the
pale of probability that himself is 'the dark
horse.'"
Public opinion has pretty well
settled down as to the guilt of the
negro cadet, Whit taker. That he
wrote the note of warning is almost
certain possibly altogether so. A
writer in the Washington Post thus
states the case:
5
"There were four half Bheeta of paper
submitted to Mr. Soulhwortb; the expert.
and staled as follows: No. 1. Letter of warn
ing to Whtllaker equals one-half sheet; No.
2. Letter by Wbittaker to bis mother equals
one-half sheet; No. 3. Letter by Wbit
taker to his mother equals one-half sheet;
No. 4. Letter by Whittaker for postage
stamps equals one-half sheet. This ex
pert found that Hoa. 1 and 'A constituted
one sheet when put together, and that Nos.
4 and 3 constituted one sheet when put tos
getner, tne indentation in eacn nail sneet
fitting exactly. Whittaker' is known to
have written rtos. a. s and 4. nence it is
shown, mathematically, that he must have
written No. 1." J
Ex Gov. Joe Holden. of North Carolina,
has written a "Do Profundls" "poem full of

WILMINGTON, N. C. THURSDAY,
There are now, according to the
blowers, eleven persons who would like to
be Superintendent ot Public Instruction
who "are eminently suited for the place.
Just so. Under the present law any book
keeper, business man, or old-field teacher
can fill the bill. Abolish the office or make
it worth something.

Winston Deader: The ease of
Miss Lillio Leigh vs. the town of Salem,
claiming $5,000 damages for alleged inju
ries received by the upsetting of a vehicle,
occasioned by an embankment on the
streets of Salem, excited a great deal of in
terest. The case was given to the jury on
Monday evening, and Tuesday morning
they returned a verdict giving $1,600 to
Miss Leigh. It is thought the case will be
taken to the Supreme Court
" New Berne Record: The efforts
made by incendiaries to set fire to the city
on Saturday night should be thoroughly
overhauled by the authorities. As be
tween Fowle and Jarvis, the preference of
this journal is for Fowle, though we had
rather see Merrimon Governor than either.
But it is well understood, that Merrimon
does not seek the place, and would not have
it unless by the voluntary, unsolicited action
of the party.
Lumberton Robesonian: . Cot
ton is dying badly through this section for
the past week from some unknown cause.
Now that booms, are the order of the
day, we are rejoiced to see a real boom
coming near us. - We have reference to
Col. H. B. Short for Lieutenant Governor.
His own county, Columbus, is pledged to
him and the Rmiew says he is the choice of
the city of Wilmington for that position.
Short stock has been far above par in this
county since 1876, and we feel sure that
Old Robeson would gladly support him in
Convention for Lieutenant Governor.
Quhele items: We understand that the
dysentery is prevailing in the country.
All cotton and no corn in this section. If
we can stand it, the West can. Early
cotton is doing well.
Raleigh Observer: Dr. Fab. J.
Haywood. Sr.. who was attacked with pa
ralysis last week, became much worse yes

At the target practice of the Fayette-
ville Light Infantry, at Fayetteville, on the
20th of May, Col. T. C. Fuller, of Ithis
city, who is an honorary member of the

fact that it was a tin one, and was won by
the poorest score, does not at all diminish
its value in his eyes.
Col. S. McD. Tate arriyed in
Salisbury Sunday morning from New York,
where he has been in communication wan
Best'& Co. He says that the delay in tak
ing charge of the Western North Carolina
Railroad has not been because of any in
ability, or any disposion to fly the contract,
but on account of serious disagreements oe-
tween members of the syndicate as to the
management The syndicate was to have
an official meeting on Monday, the 24th,
when it was hoped to reconcile those diner-
ences, and jar. ues;, or some representa
tive, is to be in Salisbury to-night. In case,
however, the differences prove irreconcil
able, Col. Tate has made a proposition to
tbe syndicate to assign their purchase, with
all its conditions, to himself and other gen
tlemen, on behalf of the private stock
holders of the road. Information was re
ceived here yesterday that Mr. Best had
left New York, warranting the presump
tion that the difficulties referred to by Col.
Tate have all been adjusted. The
white companies of the city fire depart

of a panic among the pedestrians on that
busy thoroughfare. In his course the in

ATTBIIIPTBO JAIL DELIVER V.
A Darius Attempt to Break Jail One
of the Coneplratora Prepared to
strike tbe Jailor Down-How tne
Attempt wae Frustrated, Ac.'
Yesterday morning, about 4 o'clock,
Daniel Howard, the jailor, was aroused
from his slumbers by the vigorous shaking
of the front door of the jaiL He got up
and went to the window to listen, and while
standing there a policeman on the . street
told bim that some one in jail was calling
him. Howard hastily dressed himself , and
in the meantime Officer Everett, alluded to
above, was joined by Officers Nelson and
Williams, who were just oil night duty and
starting home. The four then went into
the jail yard, when Nathan Graham, com
monly known as "Crazy Nathan," who is
in jail for safe-keeping, sung out to the
jailor, "Look out how you go in there;
there's Some one loose in the passage!"
The jailor opened tbe outside door, when,
through the lattice door on the inside, be
espied one of the colored prisoners stand
ing at one side with a piece of board some
four feet long drawn back, as if ready to
strike any one who should attempt to en
ter. The jailor ordered him to retire,
but be never stirred. He then told
the prisoner that if he didn't get away from
the door he would shoot him, drawing his
pistol at the same time. At this the prisoner
jumped back behind the heater, the large
"drum" to which almost completely con
cealed his body. Howard discharged his
pistol as nearly in his direction as possible,
when the prisoner got frightened aud ran
off. The jailor and police officers Everett,
Nelson and Williams then entered, and the
two prisoners engaged in the attempt to
escape were captured, put in their cell and
securely ironed, so there will be no possi
bility of their making another such demon
stration. The two men proved to be George Myers,
awaiting trial for burglary, and Joseph
Campbell, a prisoner from Pender county,
charged with breaking into the store of Mr.
Thomas Williams, at Rocky Point Quarry,
some weeks ago.
Upon examination it was found that the
two men had broken out of the cell in
which they were confined by wrenching
three iron bars a half inch thick from tbe
door, which left a hole sufficiently large to
permit of their egress. They then went to
work and tore up the tank in the corner of
the room, connected with the water-cooler,
and boxed up so as to cover a considerable
space, the supposition being that they
thought there was a hollow space beneath
through which they might effect their
escape. Failing in this, they next com
menced ripping up the flooring, and had
succeeded in getting up two planks, when
they discovered that the floor was a double
one. Their next move seems to have been
the desperate one of attracting the jailor to
the front door, and as he should open it
and attempt to enter, as they evidently
thought he would do, to strike him down
with the piece of board and make their
escape over his prostrate body. Jailor
Howard is not certain which of fhe men
was standing at the door, as he could not
see him distinctly.
Samuel Grice, colored, charged with
tampering with the mails, and awaiting
trial at the next term of the United States
District Court, occupied the same cell with
the two men, but did not go out with them.
He says he was asleep and didn't know
when tbe others broke out.
Myers, one of the conspirators, will be
put on trial to-morrow for his life.

'1 DON'T WANT :THAT STUFF," la what a
lady of Beaton said to her husband when he brought
home some medicine to core her of sick headache
and neuralgia which had made her miserable lor
fourteen years. At the first attack thereafter it
was administered to her with such 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 'r is Hop
Bitters. Standard.
WHY WILL YOU WHO ARB SUFFERING
HESITATE LONGER 7 The days of healthful life
are golden, and they are ceaselessly slipping from
Eon. You cannot afford to doubt It is folly to de
ty longer to accept these facts and profit by them.
Simmons Liver Regulator ia so simnie anil innii
and yet it has proven itself a eovereign remedy for
Dyspepsia, Costiveness, BickZHeadache. Billions
Colic, sour Stomach, Diarrhwa, Billiousness, and
other like evils of a disordered Liver and Stomach.
How can we find words adequate to embody these
facts. They cannot be too often reiterated until
they have carried conviction to every household in
the land. Try it. The first trial will be satisfactory.

in my family for a number, or years for Sick Head

WHO IS MRS. WINSLOW T-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. She has
especially studied the constitution and wants of this
numerous class, and, ara result of this effort, and
practical knowledge obtained in a lifetime spent as
nurse and physician, she has compounded a Sooth
ing 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 bibb
up and bless her; especially is this the case in this
city. Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are
DAJir 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 ooinTon. until she haa criwa it. tha Kona.
