Gen. Garfiold was expected in

Old Mad Wells likes tbe nomina

Cadet Whittaker, who "bit bis

Mr. Seymour has spoken at last
aod definitely. He declines to be a
candidate or to accept the nomination
if tendered him. We regret his
course. It complicates the question
of the candidacy. But more of this
hereafter.
During the debate on the Mexican
W ar Pension bill Ingalls intimated
that Voorhee?, who was making a
somewhat acrimonious speech, was in
hqaor. This oalled out the lie prompt-'y-
Afterwards Ingalls withdrew the
insinuation, when all was serene again.
Congress has adjourned. The
veto message was laid over for future
action. Next winter it may be taken
up, hut in the meantime the Repub
licans will have all of the deputy
marshals, and the election for Presi
dent will be over, if not settled
finally.
The New York Herald's Washing
ton special of the 14th says of the
way Garfield is regarded by his Re
publican associates in Congress:
"Tbe Republicans lust now squirm aw
fully at Garfield's sins, but they ought to
took at their own records. With the ex
ception of Edmunds and Conkling there is
not a clean man among their prominent
People."
Our friend of tbo Greensboro

VOL. XXVI. NO. .75.
Judge John A. Gilmer was nomi
nated for the Judgeship in the Fifth
District by the Convention held ;at
Durham on Tuesday.' : Ho was nomir
nated on the seventeenth ballot.
Ex-Judge Ruffin, of Orange, John
W. Haya, Esq., of Granville, and
Hon. John Mannins. of Chatham.
were voted for. Ruffin , received 67
votes on the first ballot and 73 on the
fifteenth. Hays reccivd C8 votes on
the fourteenth ballot. On the ninth
ballot Manning had G7. Gilmer got
71 votes on the first ballot. On the
sixteenth he had 94. Judge Gilmer
is an excellent selection every way.
Mr. Speaker Randall is somewhat
cooling in his ardor for Tilden Binoe he
found out that he had been dropped
by the Grameroy politician for an
other coparcener. This leads the
New York Express, Democratic, to
say :
"Perhaps it may occur to Mr. Randall
that had he let Mr. Sam Tilden alone five
years ago and devoted all biatlme and tal
ents to the service of bis country, the whole
coonlry and nothing but tbe country, ma
king no bargains with anybody, indulging
iff no 'futile dalliance' with the Republi
cans on the one hand, or ciphermongeraon
the other, he would be at tbe top of the
Democratic party to-day, and its most
available candidate for President."
The following concerns the Repub
lican candidate for President. We
copy from the State's special from
Washington:
"Garfield record ia undergoing a thor
ough sifting at the hands uf the Democrats
and all his mladoincs will be collated and
arranged for publication iu pamphlet form.
AmooK the interesting articles it will con
tain will be extracts from editorials pub
lished in tbe leading - Republican newspa
pers about the time the Credit Mobtlier and
Districts Ring swindles came to light. This
bit of history may be illustrated by eouies
of the cartoons that appeared in Harper's
and other publications about that time. '
The Richmond State of the 14th
says:
"This morning Messrs. James B. Walters
and William L. Royall and Drs, Hugh M.
Taylor and M . B. Carter were before tbe
grand jury uf the Hustings Court, tbe latter
three as witnesses. Dr. Taylor and Mr.
Royall refused to testify, bee h use they said
they couid not do so without crimicating
themselves. Nolbinx li is lieeu heard of
. ol. Smith and his stcoud, Mr. Greeu."
Foreign importations last week ag
gregated very nearly 12,000,000,
and more to bear from. This does
not look well for tbe oountry.

Raleigh suffered at 27 degrees
Saturday two more than Wilmington.
The irregularity of the mails
between bete and New Berne is passing
strange.
Raleigh handled 476 bales of

On Saturday the thermometer
reached 100 at New Berne. Wilmington
was satisfied with 95.
Greensboro Patriot: Mrs. W. B.
Bo z ait died at her residence in this city on
Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock, after a lin
gering illness of several months. We

New York correspondent Ra
leigh lieu: "Mr. Robert Tannabill, who
has just been elected President of that im
portant corporation, tne new xonc tjotton

stowed, for Mr. Tannabill is universally
esteemed and respected as an honorable
man and merchant."
Raleigh Visitor: The Sentinel

between Oxford and Henderson said to be
112 years old, in a good state of preserva
tion. It formerly belonged to tbe Stone
family, and has been occupied by them or
other families ever since its erection.
A communication in the Raleigh
Observer says: "We may infer from a re
mark recently attributed to Mr. Best, as
having been made by him in the West, that
be bad abandoned bis New York syndicate,
or the New York syndicate has abandoned
him, we -don't know which at any rate,
that the syndicate no longer exists. That
it ever did exist is very doubtful. Doubtless
it was all a little game, and Mr. Best played
it like a little man." .
Raleigh Observer: Mr. John
E. Ray left yesterday; for London, Eng
land, to be present at the World's Conven
tion of Sunday School workers, which be

one of the most useful men in the State. ,
Lumberton Hobesonian : Crops
in this neighborhood are looking well.
Tbe fruit crop is much better this year
than it was last. A waeoner from
Chatham county says the wheat crop in
that county is better than it has been in
twenty years. We predict that Dowd
will not have a competitor. But whether
this will be an advantage' in the way of
bringing out the rote, we cannot Bay. In
deed, we thick a thorough campaign-would
be best. We were handed recently
some wheat which was 6 feet high, and
oats 5 feet 7 inches high. It was grown
by Mr. Jack McQueen, of this county,,
who can beat the wheat just one inch.
And this reminds uj that Mr. ; Mc
Queen is one of a family of twelve, which
measured 75 feet, or an average of 6 feet
and 2 inches each. Rev. L. A. Mc
Lean, who was ordained at the last meet-'
ingof Fayettcville Presbytery, preached at
this place last Sunday night. He intends
to start to West Virginia in a few days to
enter a field of ministerial labor there offer
ed him.

vis for Governor; . A nomas a. jieaan, lor
Attorney General; John M. Worth, for
Treasurer. Judge Wm. M. Shipp, of Char
lotte, is authorized by - proxy to cast
Polk's vote in the State Convention.
At the Buncombe County Convention
held Saturday, tbe delegates to the State
Convention were not instructed, but it is
learned from a reliable source, will stand 18
for Jarvis and 7 for Fowle. Messrs. M. E.
Carter and W. Jfi. Weaver were nominated
for the Legislature ; tbe former having
served in the last General Assembly. Tbe
Senatorial Convention has not yet been
held. Both Gov. Jarvis and Judge
Fowle will be . put on the defensive, and
the Republican party will offer the records
of Democratic newspapers in evidence.
We do not admit that either of these gen
tlemen have done anything wrong, but in a
close campaign it is bad to be on the de
fensive. ,

colored, In which brick-bats, stones and
'sticks were thrown about in a vigorous
'style that augured ill for the safety of by
etandere. Tbe disturbance quieted down
latter awhile, to be renewed by the same
parties yesterday morning on Front street,
bear Castle, in which the brick-bat per-
fotmance was repeated, ending with Storks
throwing the woman down and beating her

the affray and brought before Justice Millis

for these we know little about here; nor the
bloom upon the rye," which has "all

cotton bloom, which gladdens the heart of
the planter and causeth him to rejoice over
bis less fortunate neighbor. Tuesday last
tbe first of the season put in an appearance
at the Stab office, and was duly chroni
cled in these columns. To-dsy we have
another, to report, received by mail from
"Cov.,n at Laurel Hill, which the sender
says bloomed on the 13th inst., and "was
pulled from an average stalk in a fiftyacre
cotton field belonging to Mr. S. R. Town-
send, near Laurel Hill."
The writer adds the gratifying informa
tion that crops ia that section of the county
were never belter for this time of the year.

The residence of CoL-Jno. W. Gordon,
on Seventh, between Chesnut and Mul
berry streets, was struck by lightning
jdurieg the violent storm of Tuesday night
last. Tha electric fluid struck tbe brick
chimney, following it to the roof, where tbe
force of the current was apparently di
vided, a part following the water pipes
from a cistern' through the 'roof iuto a
room that was unoccupied at tbe time, for
tunately. Several bricks were knocked
out of the chimney in this room and the
place filled with soot, which covered the
furniture. The lightning passed down the
pipes through this room to a bath-room
below, where the wood work was splin
tered and scorched. Col. Gordon was
seated in another room close to a fire
place, at the time, and experienced a severo
shock. Bevond this, tbe inmates of tbe
house escaped.

the Wilmington & Weldon, Wilmington,
Columbia & Augusta, Cbera w & Darling

the Northeastern, which is an important
link In the Atlantic Coast Line, will here

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: isyrup we can-speak from knowl
edge; in oar own family it has proved a blessing
inaeed, by giving an' infant troubled with colic
pains, quiet sleep, and its parents unbroken rest at
night. Most parents can appreciate these blessings.
Here Is an article which works t perfection, and
which ia harmless; for tha sleep which tt affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the little cherub
awakes as "bright as a button." And during the
process of teething its value Is incalculable. We
have freanentlv heard mothers sav they would net
be without it from the birth of the child till it had
finished with the teething siege, on any considera
tion whatever. Sold by ail druggists. 35 cents a
