How do you spell that dead Indi an's uame, anyway ? Some of the best papers print it Victorio, which is correct doubtless, whilst others think he is named after England's Queen, good Victoria. Garfield on October 23d tele graphed Jewell that the Morey letter was a forgery, the work of some "clumsy villain." He wants to "hunt the rascal down." Bat Garfield swore be did not receive $329. North Carolina expects every pa triot and every freeman to work hard for the cause of Hancock, Jarvis, Shackelford and the county nomi nees. Let there be anion of hearts and a union of hand?, and a full vote. The New York Truth, Independ ent, that publishes a lithograph fac simile of Garfield's Chinese cheap labor letter, was strong for Grant for a third term. It is not a Democratic paper has never been a Democratic The New York Herald has been ami Hancock for some time. It has given Garfield a most woeful black eye on account of his letter on Chi nese cheap labor. It will damage the trickster and bribe-taker. Unless crowded out by more important mat ter we will endeavor to publish it in our next. Garfield is doomed and in many places damned, no doubt. There is evidence of a reaction in Virginia in favor of Hancock. Some of the leading Mahone men in Bed ford county have determined to sup port the regular Hancock ticket. The Richmond DUpatch of Sunday says of the address of the National Democratic Committee: "The address from W. H. Barnum, Esq , diivea the last nail into the coffin of the Mahone party. If General Mahone does not now withdraw his ticket, the people of the United States will have ao opportunity "iter the 2nd of November to count his followers in this contest. We are not at all unions that be shall withdraw bis ticket, i)"w that the success of the May ticket is so well assured. He and bis organs have de clared over and over again that there was no possible danger of the State going for Gaitield." r VOL. XXVII.-NO. 29. Norwin Green, President of the Western Union Telegraph Company, wrote to Chairman Barnum request ing him to return Jewell's telltale dispatcher and this was done. Mr. Barnum, however, wrote to Mr. Green, and we copy a significant por tion: "This committee fully acknowledges the principle that telegrams of a private na ture, received as these were through a mis take, should be held sacred and inviolable. This committee cannot but realize the fact that the teleg tarns you wish returned to you are not personal or private in their na ture. They were written, signed and ad mitted to be genuine by Marshall Jewell, the representative of agTeat political party, asking the suffrages of the people to main tain that party in power. They are in tended to affect and do' relate to a matter in which every citizsn, high and lowi has a common interest, the protection of the franchise and of the principles upon which our government is based a pure and free ballot. This committee admit tkey have no right to hold or retain possession of the originals, and that the same should be re turned to your company as their property. This is aa far as this committee can comply with your request, and I am instructed to say they shall use such copies, lithographs, &c, aa they may deem best for the public good. Inclosed you will please find the telegrams requested ." To show the great activity among the Democrats in New York, we copy from the Herald what will be done this week and what was done last week and before that: ' "Ex-Goveroer Horatio Seymour speaks twice next week. Montgomery Blair and General Daniel & Sickles are making a tour of the principal cities of the State. George A. Julian, of Indiana; ex-Senator James A. Doolitlle, of Wisconsin; Clarkson N.

"The committee reports that its canvass of the Slate, taken from reliable sources, shows that there are large gains over 1876. General George C. McClellan advised the committee esterday that be would speak at Albany Thursday, Rochester Friday, and Buffalo Saturday." The Florida Democrats a week ago knew of the Jewell importation of repeaters. They were on the alert. We suspect the bullies and roughs will fare differently in Florida from what they experienced in Indi ana. The Tallahassee Democrat of the 19th had this to say : "In fact we have reason to believe that a large force of these ruffians and shoulder hitters are now oo their Way to Florida from New York and will arrive in few days. If our information is reliable as to this, it is to be hoped that the imported bullies will be made to regret the day they put their feel on the soil of Florida." Gov ernor Foster, of Ohio, said in the presence of Mr. M. P. Handy, of the Philadelphia limes, and six others, after the late election, that "tariff and business issues were got ten up by Southern parties for the purpose of a scare." Mr. Handy says: "It was at the Neil House, Columbus, on the day after the election. The Governor bad just dined and was in high spirits and very talkative. On his breast he wore a badge bearing the picture of - a grinning man and the legend: Beat us Not by a 829 sight,' and something more to the same effect." . . -; - ;- - 'V A writer in the New York Sun gives Garfield an increase of fifty per cent, on Hayes's majority above.

The Warrenton Gazette publishes MORNING WILMINGTON, the following: - "The following gen tlemen and friends of Mr. Garfield are disqualified from voting in the coming .election because they have been convicted in Warren Superior and Inferior Courts of infamous crimes since January 1st, 187?." Then follow some fifty names. There are just such disqualified "friends" of Garfield in all the counties.

The large number who were present at both places, and the attention paid, indicated the feeling that our people are determined to rebuke the actors in the great fraud of 1876. ; Edenton, N.- C, Oc tober 21, 1880.

Barnes, now of Nahunta, Georgia, formerly of this county, in which he requests us to advise the people, and especially the young men of North Carolina, through the Advance, to stay at home. To work for people they know even for lower wages than to work for strangers in a far off country for the promise of big wages. Mr. Barnes thinks North Carolina is the best State after all. A son of Mr. John Wilkes, of Charlotte, aged 14, was run over by the cars. He was reading a newspaper whilst walking on the track. The Press says: "He was run over by both car and engine which, it is said, crushed one leg about the thigh and the other above the ankle, and it was reported that amputation of both would be necessary.- Besides he is hurt about the head. His condition at this writing is thought to be critical, with but slight hopes for his life. Doctors Gibbon and Moore are now with him. Truly a sad calamity, and the family has the sympathy of a whole community. Raleigh Observer: The general good nature and good behavior of our North Carolina people were well illustrated on the occasion of the State Fair. OnWednes day there . were considerable numbers on the grounds, and on Thursday the crowd was estimated at over 7,000, and yet during the week there has been the utmost quiet in the city and on the grounds.

The receipts for the same week in 1878 were 2,458 bales. The total receipts this season, up. to Friday, were 25,837 bales. For the same period last year, 16,070 bales.

He then goes onto define his position, saying he is no party man; that he don't expect to vote for either of the can didates for the Presidency, Hancock or Garfield, and that he is opposed to paying the public debt as it now stands; and con cludes by saying, "If I am elected to Con gress you will bear from me."

A joint meeting ot the Board of Alder men, Board of Audit and Finance, and representatives from the Chamber of Com merce, Board of Fire Underwriters and Produce Exchange of this city was held at the City Hall yesterday afternoon for the further consideration of the-water works question, and to receive the report of the committee. Mayor Fishblate presided. Mr- Foster, the committee of one from the general committee, made the following report, viz : To the Mayor, Board of Aldermen and Board of Audit and Finance of the City of Wilmirfgton, N. C. Gentlemen: The undersigned, a special committee appointed to examine fully as to the practicability of establishing water works in our city, begs leave to make the following statements, the same being based upon past experience of other cities: 1st Wilmington is in great need of a first class water works system for sanitary purposed and for protection to property against fire. 2nd. If water works are secured there will be a great saving of time lost by sick ness, and the paying of doctor bills and funeral expenses caused by the use of con taminated well and cistern waters. 3rd. The direct cost to the city for rent of hydrants (75 cents to $1.00) will be many times saved to the citizens in reduc tion on insurance and saving on the present expenses of the city Fire Department. 4th. The city must soon have sewerage or water works. Water works are much cheaper than sewerage; . without water works, sewerage is of little or no use. We cannot have both at a very near date. Our soil is a perfect sewer. Excepting cistern water, though it is more or less contami nated with poisonous gases, we have no pure water from wells. Pure water is insipid and tasteless. Con taminated waters are often referred to as good sparkling water, from the poisonous matter and gases absorbed through the soil and brick wall, which cause a putrid fer mentation to take place, and if not too bad, it is rather pleasant to the taste than other wise, yet dangerous and unhealthy water for man or beast 5th. To secure water works at an early date, the Board of Aldermen should well guard against accepting any bids from wa ter works parties who are going around the country and making contracts that bind the cities and give no guarantee of the works ever being completed unlets they succeed in bartering off the said contract with parties who can build the works. 6th. The only correct system for our city is to have one or more stand pipes, 20 feet in diameter and 125 feet above the low-water mark in the river, with pumps, and pipes, hydrants and valves all spe cified as to size, kind, &c. 7tb. The Board of Aldermen should know the cost of the works. 8th.cFor about seventy-five fire hydrants, they should be furnished for about $5,000 per annum, with free water to public build ings. I herewith tender you all the bids and propositions coming into my hands, for your consideration and action. Most respectfully, F. W. Foster, - Special Committee on Water Works. Proposals to erect water works were re ceived and read from Messrs. J. A. Cloud & Co., of 18 Wall street. New York, and Mr. A. Wilkins. Alderman Foster desired to hear from some of the gentlemen of the committee not members of either Board. Mr. Martin, from the Chamber of Com merce, spoke in favor of the immediate establishment of water works in the city. CoL W. L. Smith, of the Board of Fire Underwriters, stated that in his opinion a large amount of money would be saved to citizsn s in the way of insurance by their establishment. Alderman Foster moved that a committee of three from each Board, including the chairmen of said boards, be appointed, to meet at as early a date as possible and take the bids now on hand into consideration, and report back to these boards as early as possible. The motion was adopted, and Messrs. Norwood Giles, D. G. Worth and R. J. Jones, of the Board of Audit and Finance, and Mayor Fishblate and Messrs. Divine and Foster, of the Board Of Aldermen, were appointed. The meeting then adjourned. lurned Tjp Again We saw yesterday in a paper printed at Pitkin, Gunnison county, Colorado, a Re publican speech, delivered in that place on the 13th in St., by Maj. J. W.

Smtthyille, October 26tb, 1880. Among the matters and things to be decid ed at the next election in Brunswick is the question of the removal of the court house from Smithville to some other point in the county. It is likely the people are not rightly informed on the subject, and the statement of a few facts seems proper, in order that the people of Brunswick may not burden tbemselves with taxes without knowing they are going to do so if they vote for removal. The county of Bruns wick has no title for either the court house or jail. These buildings cannot be sold or removed, or used by the county except for their present purposes. By the records of the town of Smithville it is expressly pro vided that they shall revert to the town whenever the county shall cease to use them for the courts; and all the right and title the county has was granted by the Commissioners of Smithville, aa by the records fully appears. Consequently, the entire cost of new buildings will have to be met by taxation and the cost will be sev eral thousand dollars; the writer thinks not leas than flfteen thousand, if proper build ings are erected. Most of our citizens and voters are aware that this is about the sum the present court-house and jail cost them, and this is proposed to be given away. While the citizens of Smithville esteem it a privilege to meet their fellow citizens from all parts of the county, and would be sorry to have the seal of county govern ment removed they will be more than compensated for their share of the taxa tion by the reversion of the valuable prop erty. The Commissioners of Smithville can release or resell the buildings for more than they will have to pay in taxes and the burden will fall upon the rest of the county. And after it is all done, the public will not be as well accommodated as they are at present. Let the people consider well before they vote for removal. The county is out of debt, and the taxes are light at present Then why not let well enough alone. Yours, truly, oc20 - It A Taxpayer. CITY 1TJB9IS.

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed several sleepless nlghta, disturbed by the agonies and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con vinced that Mrs. Window's Soothing Syrup was Just the article needed, procured a supply for the child. On reaching home and acquainting his wife with what he had done, she refused to have it ad ministered to the child, as she was strongly In favor of Homoeopathy. That night the child passed In suffering, and the parents without sleep. Returning home the day following, the father found the baby still worse, and while contemplating another sleep less night, the mother stepped from the room to at tend to some domestic duties, and left the father with the child.
