Baltimore received 875 immigrants

Cul.McClure will give North Caro
i,..a i lie go-by. Why this? We
a.v c vilized and know something of
huspiinlity ?
The Washington lobby is increas
ing in size and is becoming elated.
Hayes's message gives it many
crumbs of comfort.
In Washington it is not thought
that Senator Lamar, of Mississippi,
w 'M be able to take his seat during
uk- present session .
There will be but three Demo
cratic Governors of Northern States
after January 1st, 1881, namely,
OregoD, Maine and New Jersey.
Mr. J. H. Estill, proprietor of the
Savannah lYeics, has fjeen made aide
le camp to Gov. Colquitt, with the
title of Colonel. We salute you.
Most of the Northern Radical pa
pers favor the scheme to make Grant
Captain General. The same papeis
would possibly be williug to see him
Emperor.
Senator Ingalls has introduced a
bill to manufacture more shinplas
ters oi tbe denominations of fit ty aod
twenty-five cents. Wo hope the
bill will be killed.
Since the beginning of the season
Savannah has received 502,170 bales
of cotton. The exports for the same
period are: Foreign, 214,427 bales;
coastwise, 164,528 bales.
Let Congress create the office of
Uuiversal Foreign Traveller and give
the place to Grant. He will do leas
harm abroad thau if be remains in
the country, acd he will get his
drinks free.
Tue election is over and the New
York limes speaks Kindly of Father
Hyan's new volume. After awhile
some Northern paper will discover
that Edgar Poe had something very
like genius. This is a progressive
age.
It is said Garfield will give Bob
Ingersoll any place he wishes. Bob
is a great success on funeral occa
sions. How will it do for Garfield to
make him funeral orator for all dis
appointed Radical contestants for
Democratic seats ?
The Washington Post gives Con
gress good advice when it tells it to
let politics alone and go to work on
the business of the session. Give the
country lime to blow a little. For a
year there baa been a political stew
pot in every household.
What weather and what a coun
try ! On Wednesday at 9 o'clock
the thermometer registered 32 de
grees. At 4 o'clock it had risen to
56 degrees. On the next morning at
9 o'clock it had dropped again to 26
degrees a fall of 20 degrees in 17
hours, with a downward tendency.
Thus it is that the chances of a poli
tician are always fluctuating. At
one time they are at the freezing
point (the copper-bottom has cooled)
and the next day or week they are at
fever heat (too much benzine) and
the country is safe.
The Morning- Star
VOL. XXVII.---NO. 67.
Gen. Matt Ransom's class at the
University has furnished three U. R.
Seuatorf, namely, himself, John
Poo), and Judge Manning of Louiei
ana. The latter may not take his
6eat, but he was elected to that high
place and will do to count. They
are allMiativef, too, of North Caroli
na. The late Gen. J. Johnston Pet-
tigrew, an extraordinary man, was of
the same class and took the highest
place.. .
The Boston Herald, Independent
Republican, eays the Republicans in
Congress hope to use Mahone in
organising tbe committees. They
want the Finance Committee, and as
Sherman will go to the Senate they
wish to substitute him for Bayard.
They must have Mahoue's aid. Bat
tbe Richmond Dispatch says the
latter is a Greenbacker, and the coun
try knows what a terrible hard money
fellow Sherman is.
Here is the popular vote according
to the New York Tribune, which is
careful in such matters and reliable
(about tbe only thing in which it is
reliable) :
"Electoral vote Garfield. 214: Hancock.
155. Popular vote Garfield, 4,438.670;
Hancock. 4.437.002. Garfield over Han
cock. 768. In addition. Weaver, Green-
DacRer, received 305,339 votes; Dow, Pro
hibition, 9,799; Pbelpp, anti-Masonic, 1,072;
scattering, 8,084."
And now the papers say that Sara
Bernhardi's pictures on exhibition in
New Yor,k, entrance fee twenty-five
cents, are mere daubs. We thought
she knew more about putting on the
colors than that. Almost every young
girl knows how to paint herself. That
is, we mean, she knows how to put on
the paint or something of the sort.
Thomas W. Keene, the tragedian
who is just now attracting so much
atteution in tbe theatrical world, was
born iu New York, October 26, 1840,
and I, therefore, just turned of
orty. This is his first season as a
'star" aud it already promises to be
one of considerable magnitude.

Annual meeting of the Navaiia Guano-
Company.
At the annual meeting of the Stockhold
ers of the Navassa Guano Company of
Wilmington, held at their office in this
city yesterday, Mr. R. E. Calderwas called
to the chair and Mr. Donald MacRae was
requested to act as Secretary, nearly all the
stock being represented.
The folluing officers were re-elected for
the ensuing year:
President Hon. R. R. Bridget's.
Treasmer and Secretary Donald Mc-
Rae.
Superintendent Col. C. L. Graffiin.
Superintendent of Agencies Colonel
Wm. L. DeRosset.
Directors R. R. Bridgers, Edward Kid
der, Donald MacRae, Smilee A. Gregg,
John C. Grafflin, Walter E. Lawtou and
Winfleld S. Dun an.
Tbe report of the Treasurer represents the
business of the Company to be in a very
healthy condition, and the results from
their rice planting interests very satisfac
tory. Besides, the Company nave doubled
their capacity for the manufacture of sul
phuric acid, and are consequently now
prepared to famish a much larger supply
of their popular fertilizer than formerly.
Cotton Receipt.
We noticed a little paragraph in the Ra
eigh Hews and Observer a day or two ago,
intimating a desire to know the receipts of
cotton at Wilmington and Charlotte up to
Friday last. The receipts at Wilmington
from September 1st, the commencement of
the cotton year, up to Friday, the 3rd inst.,
footed up 76,483 bales. Add 5,034 bales,
and you have the receipts up to and in
cluding yesterday, the 9ih inst., which
makes the number 81,517. The receipts
from the commencement of the cotton year
to December 15th, 1879, footed up 62,874.
Add the average of 773 bales for the six
days from the 9th to the 15th of December,
1880, (which is 4,638) to the 81,517 bales
time, and you have a total of 86,155 bales.
Deduct the 62,864 bales received up to De
cember 15th, 1879, and you will find the
handsome increase in favor of 1880 of
23,291 bales.
It should be understood that the above
average of 773 is made from the receipts
for tbe nine days from the 1st to the 9th
of December, 1880, inclusive, which was
6,958 bale-.
How la It f
In the back piazza ot the Star office a
thermometer at this season is kept hanging
against a post in order to keep the range of
temperature. In immediate proximity to
tbe post is a broken pipe from which water
oozes and falls upou the steps leading
torn the piazza to tbe ground. Yesterday
at 9 o'clock the thermometer stoood at 36
degrees, while tbe water on the steps im
mediately underneath was frozen hard.
Tbe freezing point being 33 degrees, bow
are we to account for tbe ice with the ther
mometer at 36 ?
Little Excitement.
Considerable excitement was caused at
the foot of Market street yesterday, wbile
the Howard boys were practicing with
their engine. It seems that tbe ferry flat
came into the dock with five bales of cot
ton belonging to Judge Russell, when a
spark from tbe engine set fire to tbe cotton,
and for a few moments there was quite a
blaze, but the flames were quickly eitin
guisbed, with but slight damage to the Cot
ton. Even if we are not smart, we know what
to do when troubled with a Cough or Cold.
No doctor bills for us. We take twenty
five cents, go to tbe nearest Drug Store and
buy a bottle of Dr. Ball's Cough Syrup.
One dose relieves us and one bottle cures
ua entirely. 9Pt ia pleasant to the taste, t

Terrible Homicide.
A "Reader of the Star" in Williams'"
burg county, S. C, under date of Decem
ber 8th, gives us the particulars of a terrible
homicide in Clarendon county on Monday
evening last. A Mr. Canaday left bis house
in charge of bis wife, with a small child,
while he went over to the house of bis
father-in-law, near by. When ho returned
be found his wife lying dead at tbe gate,
tbe top of her bead having been knocked
completely off. A mob of one hundred in
dignant citizens soon after arrested three
negroes a man, a woman and a boy
charged with the crime, who subsequently
made a full confession. The man struck
deceased tbe first blow on tbe back of the
neck with a hoe. She begged for her life,
offering them all the money she had ($10)
to Bpare her. Tbe negro woman cursed
Mrs. Canaday and told her that she was
going to kill ber, whereupon she struck tbe
defenceless woman tbe death blow. Their
intention was to rob the house. This
makes tbe second murder committed in the
same neighborhood within the last ten
days, all by negroes. The trio of murder
ers had not been dispossd of at last ac
counts. P. S. An Associated Press dispatch
from Charleston, S. C, reports the lynch
ing of the three negroes.
Superior Conn.
Nearly all Wednesday and the forenoon
of yesterday was occupied with tbe case of
Woodruff & McLean against Willard Bros.
Plaintiffs were represented by Messrs.
Martin and Davis, and the defendants by
Messrs. Stedman and Latimer. The jury
found all issues in favor of the defendants.
Yesterday afternoon tbe case of McDougal
against Bonbam was taken up and will
probably occupy two days in its trial.
Plaintiffs are represented by Messrs. Mc
Rae & Strange and Russell & Ricaud, and
the defendants by Major D. J. Dsvane and
MarsJen Bellamy, Esq.
Alleged Affray.
J. W.Foley, Chas. Owens and W.H.
Scott, all colored, bad a bearing yesterday
before a magistrate, to whom the case had
been turned over by Mayor Fishblate,
charged with an affray, when judgment
was suspended on the payment of costs,
and the prisoners were discharged.
100,000 witnesses will testify to the vir
tues of Dr. Tutt's Pills. Wherever Chill
and Fever, Bilious Diseases or Liver
Affections prevail they have proved a great
blessing. Readers, a single trial will con
vince you that this is no catch-penny med
icine. Ten years' test has established their
merits.

ONE EXPERIENCE FROM MANY.-"I had
been sick and miserable so long and had cansed my
husband so much trouble and expense, bo one
seemed to know what ailed me, tbat I was com
pletely disheartened and discouraged. In this frame
of mind I not a bottle of Hop Bitters and I used
them unknown to my family. I soon began to im
prove and gained so fast that my husband and fa
mily thought it strange and unnatural, but when I
told them what bad helped me, they said 'Hurrah
for Hop Bitters I long may they prosper, for they
have made mother well and us happy.' "The Mo

A DOWN TOWN MERCHANT, having passed
several sleepless nights, disturbed by the agonies
and cries of a suffering child, and becoming con
vinced that Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup was
lust the article needed, procured a supply for the
child. On reaching home and acquainting hjs wife
with what he had done, she refused to havtHt 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. During her absence he administered
a portion of the Soothing Syrup to the baby, and
said nothing. That night all hands slept well, and
the little fellow awoke in the morning bright and
happy. The mother was delighted with the sudden
and wonderful change, and although at first offend
ed with the deception practiced upon her, has con
tinued to use the Syrup, and suffering crying babies
and restless nights nave disappeared. A single trial
of the Cyrup never yet failed to relieve the baby,
and overcome the prejudices of the mother. Sold
by all Druggists. 25 cents a bottle.
