from De Golyer and McClellan.

The Virginia Democratic Stale
Central Committee is to meet on the
15th inst., when they will consider
the whole situation. It is said to be
au excellent body, and we hope they
will be able to compromise matters
so as to prevent Garfield from gob
bhiir up Virginias eleven votes.
They may be needed.
We give the estimates of the cen
sus of 1880 as they appear in two
leading Independent papers. The
New York Herald gives it at 49,-
302,144. The Philadelphia Times at
49,157,404. The Herald places North
Carolina at 1,400,000; the Times at
1,410,138. The Territories are not
included. So the total population
will exceed 50.000.000. The entire
returns are not in, but the probabili-
ty is that the above estimates are not
far out of the way.
John Ruskin, great as be is as a
writer, has some literary opinions I
that will cause school-masters and
Grecians generally to turn up the
whites of their eyes. For instance,
he wrote in his copy of the greatest
Greek orator's efforts "Demosthe-
nes's Orations" "Old school trash ;
nover read a line of it." He gives
w f 9
an opinion ex cathedra, but without
condescending to read. In his copy
of "Pliny" he wrote"Poor etuff,
not worth the paper it's printed on."
The TarboTO Southerner says that
lwo white men are strongly suspected
f being the assassins of Gen. Bryan
Grimes. We quote :
"Mathews is a young man from Gran

mre, in Newbern. and Parker resides

. A number of gentlemen in Halifax
county have determined to have boil
a Memorial Church at Haywood's,
and to that end the bnilding commit
tee of said church havo the matter in
hand. At a meeting held on August
31st it was resolved to erect a church
building not to exceed $3,000 on the
old churoh site at Haywood's, "hal
lowed" by being situate very near
the birth-place and early home o
North Carolina's greatest natural or
ator, the muoh lamented Rev. Thos.
G. Lowe" the said churoh to be
erected to his memory. The Quar-
terly Conference, that has Jurisdic
tion, will be asked to indorse the ao
lion of the commute, afift'gi' jia
hearty cooperation. We are very
glad to note this movement. It will
be a graceful and fitting tribute to
the memory of a man of singular
simplicity, purity and gifts a man
of genius and rarest eloquence. A
monument to mark his remains should
be built first, and then near h natal
erecte to the memory of an orator
who time and again preached Jesus
and the Resurrection with a sweet
new, and beauty rarely equalled.

The opinion expressed in the Stj
was conscientiously given, and was
indorsed by feur of the staff who saw
it. But ihe following, from the
Fayetteville JBxaminerAa bo ez&ot and
so correct we reproduce it as a good
specimen of candid and just criti
cism:
"The bare back riding of Miss Stokes
was superb. The agility of Mr. Watson,
who sprang upon a horse's back as the ani
mal galloped around the ring, and that
without the uae of bis hands, was wonder
ful. The performance of the ocrobats was
good; the humor if the clow a was amusing.
The training of the horses and dogs was
extraordinary. The devil-fish was dead.
The flying machine was invisible; at any
rate we never saw it. The elephant was a
runt, but still ns was an elephant Oa the
whole the show was very passable. One
thing is generally remarked, that the con
duct of the men and women of the circus
attaches, and all, was decent and orderly.
They behaved as ladies and gentlemen, and
n was altogether one of the most orderly
and genteel shows we have ever seen."
Mr. P. M. Hale announces in the
count of greatly impaired health he
retired from the editorial management
of that paper. Mr. V. P. Batche
lor succeeds him. Mr. Hale says:
"The Company, consisting now of our
friends, Messrs. Thus. M. IlolL John Oat-
ling, L L. Polk and VV. P- Batchelor. will
make their owe announcement for ilhe ia
ture. For us. newspaper life ia ended. In
it, wo think we may say that we have effi
ciently served our party and our 8tate, that
we have punted the news and have been
just to all men."
We regret to learn of his ill health,
and of his enforced retirement from a
profession for which he has unmis
takable talents. We trust rest from
very exacting labors may restore him
to his former condition of health.

ComlBE from the circus. -
Going to the circus Thursday night, al
though it was located on the rising grounds
somewhere between Twelfth and Four
teenth and Princess and Chesnut streets, in
the midst of what is known as "Slab Bot
tomVwas comparatively on easy under
taking ; but coming back, after having
your eyes subjected to the glare df the
lights over the ring, together with the
chances wrousht in the appearance of
things by the removal of the other tents
and appurtenances preparatory to an early
start of the show after the performance, in
the direction of the depot, it was a different
thing. In fact nearly everybody became
so bewildered after getting outside of the
tent that they didn't know whether they
were coins towards the Sound or in the
direction of home. One poof fellow found
himself, after a long and fatiguing tramp,
in the neighborhood of the Athletic Club
grounds ; two young men, who thought
they know a thing or two, and considered it
strange that the . bulk of the crowd
didn't follow them, "ran up and butted"
in the Vicinity of Bellevuo Cemetery,
whence they started on what they thought
to be a "bee line" for Princess street, and
broOght up at the Wilmington Gardens.
A gentleman of unexceptionable habits,
who lives only about the distance of a block
from Market street, between Seventh and
Ninth, was told in the neighborhood of
Mulberry and MacRae streets, in response
to an inquiry, what direction it would be
best for him to take in order to reach his
home. But the best joke in this connection
remains to be told. A youug unmarried
gentleman was plodding along in the midst
of the darkness and jostling, bewildered
conglomeration of human beings, when be
suddenly felt himself seized by both arms,
and found that ho bad been pressed into
service by two lovely but unknown young
ladies, evidently from the country, and

tion: that it was a case of mistaken identity.

not discovered their mistake.tho lost gallant

his 'somewhat embarrassing but pleasant
dilemma.
It is to bo hoped that the next circus will
select a more suitable and accessible spot
for their exhibition.
Accidental shooting.
Master James W. Barnes, aged about
fourteen years, a son of Mr. J. W. Barno9,
Sr., proprietor of the truck garden jnst
beyond the outskirts of the city, was hunt
ing rice birds at his father's place yesterday
afternoon about 3 o'clock, when be used
his gun, (which was a double-barrel one
with both barrels cocked and the muzzle
towards him), to ascertain the width of a
ditch he was about to jump across, and
which was overgrown with grass, when the
weapon was accidentally discharged, the
contents grazing his right side, making a
very ugly wound about three or four inches
n length and one and a half inches in
depth. Upon the discharge of the gun he
fell to the ground, but afterwards got upon
his feet and made his way to the house,
when a physician was immediately sent for.
The wound is a very severe one, reaching
to the cavity, but we learn that the physi
cian in attendance expresses the hope and
belief that it will not prove fatal. The
contents of the gun came in contact with
a shot-pouch at the young man's side, or
the accident would have bcon still more
serious.
Blayor'a Court. -
Abram McNair, a colored youth, aged
probably about sixteen or seventeen years,
was arraigned on the charge of vagrancy.
Upon being questioned by the Mayor he
stated, in substance, that he lived in Wil

anywhere in particular, worked when be
could get anything to do, slept of nights
wherever he could find convenient spot
and never attempted Dr. Tanner's experi
ment when he could get anything to eaf.
His Honor, after consulting legal authority,
sentenced the defendant to the House of
Correction for thirty days.
David Mallett, colored, arrested for being
drunk and down, was discharged with a
warning.
