It is common for citizens to "post"
their lands by advertising them in
the newspapers. They are in earnest
anil desire that the people shall see
aod know what they have done. Bat
when the lands are to be sold then
the law says it is enough to nail the
notice to a "post" or something of
the sort. The citizen in this instance
is much wiser than the law.
If the following should tarn oat to
be correct the country will have cause
to be thankfal that the treaty of
Mentor was no more binding upon
the contracting parties than the
treaty of Berlin. The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore 8u?i
writes:
"After the understanding arrived at be
tween the particular friends of Gen. Grant
and Gen. Garfield in the early part of tbe
fall, it was considered settled that his ad
ministration would receive their hearty
support. But there are rumors as to Gen.
Garfield's intentions, both in regard to pol
icy and patronage, which would seem to
indicate a possibility that after all bis ad
ministration may not be in more favor
with the stalwarts, or a large portion of tbe
stalwarts, than has been tbe administration
of Mr. Hayes. But if this should be so
the country perhaps will not be any worse
Frank Mayo, the actor who ap
peared in Wilmingtorrsome time ago,
was Sued $19.55 at Atcbisod, Kansas,
because his doorkeeper ref aed to ad
mit the city clerk to the performance
without a ticket. Tbe clerk brought
the license and it was paid, and then
attempted to pass in on the strength
of a city ordinance which provides
that the city marshal or clerk shall
require the production of a license for
shows and "see that no other thing is
exhibited than that specified in the
same." That ia what they call "ad
vanced ideas" in the land of high mo
rality. They would call it an attempt
to cheat or rascally impudence in the
and of cotton bolls and ignorance.

Onr attention has been directed to
the remedy advocated by Black
wood's Magazine, a cantankerous
Tory periodical of great excellence.
It is certainly a very savage way o
dealing with a people who have been
hounded and trodden down for hun
dreds of years by the British Goverq
ment. It is interesting to note what
Blackwood says because it shows
precisely how little sympathy, how
little sense of justice the Beacons-
field party has for the woes and op
pressions of their nearest neighbor,
and one of their provinces. We find
what is advocated thus given suc
cinctly in the Richmoud State:
"He (the Tory writer) declares that to
admit Ireland lo the Imperial Parliament
of Great Britain is a mistake and a crime.
He says that coercion is tbe only remedy
ana ae caimiy proposes that Ireland be
governed by a Dictator, to be appointed by
rarnament ana to oe responsible in effect
to nobody, while bis duties would be to
suspend whenever be thought fit the habeas
corpus; to do whatever he thought fit in the
way oi trial, conviction, and punishment;
to abolish juries, aod. in short, to order to
nne, imprisonment, btnpes, or execution on
tne gallows anybody in Ireland who should
make a complaint of the laws, or of tbe
tenant-landlord usages, or who should, in
fact, think that starvation is disagreeable.
The Beaconsfield parly call them
selves Conservatives. The above is a
specimen of their Conservative prin
ciples. They propose to conserve
the old tyrannies of Cromwell.

Mooresville Gazette: The North

fixes Danville and Mooresville as the
termini. Bat tbe road is designed to effect
a connection between the Virginia Mid

The Atlantic, Tennessee & Ohio Railroad,
commonly called the Charlotte & States
ville road, now makes connection from
Mooresville to Charlotte. Propositions
have been made to lease this latter road to
the parties about to build the North Caro
lina Midland, but at such terms as to make
it necessary to ascertain the comparative
cost aod advantages of a road directly from
Mooresville to Wooten's, "Garibaldi, or some
other point on the Atlanta & Charlotte
Air-Line. Therefore, during tbe last
week, tbe chief engineer of the North
Carolina Midland, with other competent
gentlemen of the engineer corps, under in
structions, made a tour of inspection of the
country between this point and different
points on the Air-Line, with a view to

He reports, generally, that the interest ia

reported that an accident occurred on tbe
Air Line day before yesterday by which
one man lost bis life and the train was en

N. C.. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 29, 1880.
Rev, Dr. Philip ftcnaflfa Lecture.
A highly interested audience last night
assembled at the lecture room of the Fitst
Presbyterian Church to bear the lecture of
this distinguished scholar aod divine. Dr.
Schaff gave a history of tbe various Eng
lish translations aod revisions of tbe Bible,
aod a very full account of the new revision
that has been prosecuted for more than ten
years. by a body of divines of large critical
knowledge aod ability, representing tbe
various leading denominations. We wish
every intelligent man and woman in Wil
mington had been present. Tbey would
have received a great deal of information
of a highly instructive aod ioterestiog
character, conveyed in clear, precise and
forceful language. Tbe revision of the
New Testament wi 1 be published in Feb
ruary next by tbe University presses of
England (Oxford and Cambridge) in vari
ous forms and styles of binding.
Dr. Schaff ia ope of tbe most emi
nent scholars now living in America,
and has a distinguished European rep
utation. He is the editor of that
stupendous work, Lange's Commentary
on tbe Bible, published in some thirty or
more octavo volumesaod translated into
English. He is also the author of the best
Eeclesiastical history, we believe, that has
been written, not excepting Mosheim or
Neander. His little work, "Tbe Person of
Christ," is a very impressive, useful aod
needed contribution to theological discus
sion. His other works we have no ac
quaiotaoce with. As Chairman of the
American branch of the Bible Revision
Committee he has rendered as much, if not
greater service than by any other of his great
labors. He is thoroughly evangelical, and
his labors in bebalf of the new revision
merit the hearty indorsement of all who
desire to see tbe Word of God as exactly
reproduced from the original tongues as
modern scholarship aod the finest critical
apparatus will allow into the English lan
guage. Tbe new work is not a oew version
but a revision. The errors of translation
and other blemishes will be corrected,
whilst retaining the grand old English so
musical, so sonorous, so flexible, so dear to
all Bible readers. We repeat, we regret
that bis lucid und entertaining lecture was
not heard by all who revere truth and fear
God.
What cornea of iteiUHuu ait officer.
Sara Williams, colored, was arraigned
before Justice Gardner, yesterday, on the
affidavit of J. W. Mtllis, charged with as
sault aod battery upon him, the said Millis,
while in the discbarge of his duties as a
deputy sheriff of New Hanover county.
said assault having been committed by
reason of bis c trrying out tbe precept io
his hand:1, the prisoner refusing to go with
him. Tho Court, after bearing the evi
dence, remarked, in rendering a decision
o tbe case, that when a prisoner was in the
handj of an officer by legitimate process be
was restrained of bis liberty, and had no
right to dictate to the officer whether be
should take him by tbe collar or not.
Tbe officer was commanded to safely
deliver the prisooer in question to the
sheriff, and he was responsible for
his escape. Therefore it was dis
cretionary with the officer as to how he
should carry tbe prisoner. The court fur
ther decided that the assault of a prisoner
upon an officer was a higher crime than a
simple assault upon another person, be
cause an officer exeeutiog tbe precepts of a
State was an agent of the State, aod that a
man who assaulted an officer is actually in
open rebellion against the laws of the
State aod setting them at defiance; and that
officers io tbe discharge of their legitimate
duties must have tbe protection of tbe
courts. The court therefore sentenced the
defendant to pay a fine of $50 and costs,
being the full penaliy of the law, in default
of which he was sent to jail.
Masonic.
There was a large crowd present, a fair
proportion of whom were ladies, to' hear
the Masonic addresses at St. John's Hall on
Monday night. The orators selected for
the occasion wero Messrs. W. H. Chad-
bourn and J. I. Macks. Mr. Chad bourn
ed off in a very pretty, Jiu morons and en
tertainiog address on the subject of
"Dreams and Dreamland," aod was fol-
owed by Mr. Macks in an effort of de
cided ability, and which has called forth
expressions of the highest approval and
commendation from those who heard it.
His remarks were confined more particu-
arly to tbe antiquity of Masonry, in which
he displayed evidences of much research
and thorough knowledge.
We should have bad a mention of these
excellent addresses in our last had not our
special reporter failed us.
