We are glad to hear more encou
raging reports concerning the pros
pects of Mr. Shackelford, the Demo
cratic candidate for Congress iu this
District. He is gaming ground evi
dently. The news from Florida is very en
couraging. There is no doubt of that
State going for Hancock. Great en
thusiasm prevails and an active can
vass is being conducted. The meet
ings are reported as very large
larger than ever before.
Last year Foster, the Republican
candidate for Governor in Ohio, had
but a majority over all of .25. If
Ohio goes Republican on the 12th
iiiat., it must be by a very small ma
jority. Foster's majority was 3,252.
The vote this year will approximate
700,000.
Secretary Evarts, in his New York
Hpeech, said that Gen. Hancock "was
a great and faithful General, but"
and what do you reckon followed,
reader? Hear him: "But he cannot
come up to the standard of a party
like the Republican which can boast
of such men as Lincoln and Hayes."
Jewhihkins!
The careful New York correspon
dent of the Philadelphia Ledger, In
dependent Republican, says the let
ter of Gen. Hancock on Southern
war claims, iu which he declares he
will recognize them under no cir
cumstances if elected, as be will be,
has had a most reassuring effect.
He says already there "is a marked
improvement of the public credit."
The business men of the country
knew that Gen.. Hancock can be
trusted, because he is truthful and he
is honest. It is a good thing to have
truthful and honest candidates.
The Goldsboro Messenger haa be
gun a new volume. It began its ca
reer in 1867, and it has made remark
able progress. It is possibly the
most widely circulated paper in the
State, and is pushed with unoommon
energy. Both the weekly and semi
weekly editions are large and attrac
tive papers, printed with excellent
type on good paper. We are glad
to note suoh success in North Caro
lina journalism. The last weekly
contained an extra half-sheet well
filled with advertisements, and an
eight-page pamphlet containing
opinions- of the press concerning its
value, and the vote of 18 in North
Carolina by disticts, and for Gov
ernor, President and Representatives.
Suoh enterprise deseives special commendation.

COMB TO CHIEF.
A Colored naa Arrested In tills City
for a Blurder Commuted In South
Carolina.
A week or so ago Officer Simon A. Rich
ardson, of this city, was in company with a
party of other colored men, and a day or
two afterwards he was approached by
certain individual, who asked him if he
knew who a particular member of the party
lu question was ? Richardson replied that
the man was a stranger to him, when the
other remarked: "Why that was Jim
Black, who killed another man in South
Carolina a short time ago on account of his
(the other man's) wife. Acting upon this
information Officer Richardson immediate
ly telegraphed to Sheriff John Wilcox, Jr.,
of Marion, S. C, where the murder was al
leged to have been committed, to know if
there was any truth in the report. The
Sheriff replied by letter, stating that Jim
Black was wanted for a cruel and brutal
murder, and that a reward ef $100 bad been
offered for his apprehension and delivery.
This statement was corroborated by letters
from Messre. W. W Sellers, Solicitor of the
Fourth District, and W. H. Manning, the
Governors Private Secretary.
Upon this information Justice J. C.
Hill issued a warrant for Jim Black, which
was placed in the hands of Officer Richard
son, and yesterday morning, about half
past J7 o'clock, tho alleged murderer was
discovered and arrested on board of the
little schooner Snow Storm, on the line be
tween this city and Little River, S. U.,
upon which he had shipped as a hand, un
der the name of Siin.
After being arrested and handcuffed,
Black asked permission to go down ia the
cabin of the tchooner to get something that
belonged to him, which was granted, when
he reached over in the berth, aod, as he
withdrew his bands, which were still con
fined with tho "bracelets," a pistol waq
discovered in bis grasp, which was quickly
wrested from him by Special Deputy J. A.
Ashe, who accompanied Officer Richard
son. ' i
Tho accused was then taken before Jus
tice Hill and regularly committed to jail
without benefit of bail. Information of
the arrest was thereupon telegraphed to
Sheriff Wilcox, and Justice Hill also im
mediately communicated the fact to Gov.
Jarvis, in accordance with' law, in order
that he may be prepared to furnish the ne
cessary requisition when applied to for the
same.
Yesterday afternoon Officer Richardson
received another telegram from Sheriff
Wilcox, asking him if he could bring the
prisoner on immediately, without waiting
for a requisition on the Governor, stating
that he could exhibit Gov. Simpson's pro
clamation and furnish him (the officer) a
certificate that the prisoner had been deliv
ered; but the officer conclu3ed.it was safest
to have matters conducted strictly in ac
cordance with law, and his answer to
Sheriff Wilcox was to that effect.
The murder is said to have been com
mitted some time in January last, and
Sheriff Wilcox said in his letter that great
concern for the capture of the murderer
bad been exhibited by all classes of citizens
in Marion.

"Wadesboro and Charleston, '
Such ia the title to an article in the
Charleston News and Courier of September
29 lb, 1880, which seems , to me to be in
tended more as an attack upon Wilming
ton than am'rexpositioo of circumstances
connected with the subject in question.
a The editor writes : "The managers of the
I A. C. L. were informed (by whom T) that
the superiority of Charleston over Wilming
ton as a cotton market, &o." It is an easy
matter to make such an assertion, bnt a
very difficult one lo prove its truthfulness.
It is a notorious fact among merchants and
cotton buyers iu interior towns that the
net proceeds oi 8hipmentsof cotton to this
market are almost invariably always av
erage more than to Charleston. I myself
have seen account of siles of cotton from
the two markets of tho same quality
and lot of cotton shipped and sold on the
same day, which showed a difference in
favor of Wilmington of cent per pound.
notwithstanding the -tact that aha quotation
of that day's market was cent higher in
Uhariestoo man in Wilmington, l do not
intend to explain why this difference
should be in quotations, but -it is seldom
that the grading is uniform, and as a rule
Charleston grades will gp folly one-half
to a grade higher hero.
One would suppose from reading the
article referred to that there was no sea
port cotton maiket within five hundred
miles or unarleston, as tney eeem to think
that they should be charged no more freight
on cotton over two, if not tiiree railroads, a
distance of miles, than Wilmington.
over one railroad, of miles. I would
not be surprised at their claiming that they
tnould oe put on tne same footing as re
gards freight from interior points in Lou
isiana. Arkansas nod lexas as in New
Orleans.
Our merchants would do weli to ponder
over this extract: ' there is no diserimi
nation against ports that ate strong in them
selves. Wagon townsAmy italics) the nooks
mat did a noe ousiness wnen there were
no railroads and no steamboats, and have
been dropping behind ever since, but
places like Charleston have nothing lo fear."
Now, sir, it behooves our business men
to wake up and Uke advantage of the means
which nature b&s provided for us and we
will soon not only recover what we have
lost, but, from our greater facilities for
cheaper handling of goods in transit than are
offered by any other Atlantic port, lo say
nothing of a necessarily greater improve
ment in maiket facilities and advantages,
we would soon be placed nearer the front
rank of cotton ports than we are now. As a
means to this end, I would suggest
greater manifestation of interest in sup
porting our froduce Exchange aod once
more placing our Chamber of Commerce.
of which we have heard so little of late
years, in the high position of influence it
once held. The small amount expended
in the support of these institutions would
be vastly more than repaid in a little while.
In this connection I would ask why it is
that the reports of the cotton crop of North
Carolina, made to the National Cotton Ex
change, should be through the instrument
ality of the Norfolk Exchange and others.
while we never hear a word from our own
institutions, whose business it ia.
The subject grows upon one as he writes.
and I hope that this communication will
result in bringing fully before our people
the stern fact that we are going backward
and not forward as a commercial com
munity. Wilmington.
