Abetraes of tbe Uw faoTernloa Ap proaching GUT Election. In chaper 193. laws of 187677, it is pro vided that before every election there shall be a new registration in each of the wards of the city of Wilmington of the persons qualified to vote in the same. The same act provides that every male citizen twenty-one years old shall be entitled to regis tration who shall have resided in this State for one year, and has been a resident bona fide in the particular 'ward in which he ap plies to be registered ninety days preceding aoy such election, and no other person shall be so entitled. Any election may, and it shall be tbe duty of the registrar to, challenge the right to register of any per son known or suspected not to be lawfully entitled to register; and when any. such challenge shall be made it shall be the duty of tbe registrar to inquire, and decide as to the right of the person so challenged to registration, and if it ahall sppear that such person is not so entitled he shall beex eluded from registration. I The same act also provides that every duly registered person in any ward con tinuing to be a resident bona fide of any such ward up to and on tbe day of any such election, shall be entitled to vote in such ward at any election therein, and no other person shall be so entitled. On the day of aoy such election, however, any elector msy, and it shall be the duty of the judges of election to, challenge the vote of any person known or suspected not to be a duly qualified voter; and when any such challenge shall be made the judges of such election shall inquire into and decide as to the right of the person so challenged to vote at such election, and if it shall appear that 6uch person Is not so entitled be shall not be permitted to vote. aaessSS'PWWW 1 improTtmeau at ttao Coantr Poor Hoaee. Under tbe superlntendance of Mr. J. H. Savage, who took charge on the first day of January last, the County Poor House has been greatly improved, and may now be said with truth to be a credit to the county. During a brief visit a few days ago we were forcibly struck with what has been accomplished in this direction in the short space of two months. Tbe fence have all been either replaced entirely or thoroughly overhauled and repaired; the buildings have all been patched up where ever needed, the rooms all thoroughly cleansed and whitewashed, the yards pnt in good order, and the whole premises have been so thoroughly and decidedly improved that they hardly look like the same. The evergreens in tbe f xont yard have also been trimmed and made to assume a neat appear ance, and an excellent road, with a neat ditch on each side, has been constructed on a bee line from the Poor House to the county road, to take the place of the tortuous and unsafe apology for one which has formerly been used. We note these improvements with pleasure, and can also give Mr. Sav age the credit for having his larder abun dantly provided with all the necessaries of life. He now has thirty-one parishioners under his charge iinmaliable Letter. The following is the unmailable matter remaining in the city postofflce up to this date : Mrs. Mary Swett, Co. Willis Newsom, Jackson, N- O. ; Miss Gussie Buckens, Lan caster; Mr. Elijah Davis, Philadelphia, Pa. Local Dots. There was considerable formed in this city Saturday night. ice Capt. B. G. Bates has suffi ciently recovered to be able to be on the streets again . - We wrote $55,000 in reference to the proposed sale of tbe C. F. & Y. V. R. R., but it appeared $50,000. Mr. J. C. Lumsden, registrar for tbe Second Ward, can be found in the room of Maj. John W. Dunham, Clerk of the Criminal Court, in tbe Court HoU3e. Go and see him. The only case for the considera tion of the Mayor yesterday morning was that of Eliza Blalock, a wbite woman, arrested Sunday night, by Officer Woebse, for being disorderly and intoxicated on the public streets. The receipts of cotton at this port for the six days closing yesterday footed up 1,179 bales, as against 283 bales for the corresponding week last year, showing an increase of 897 bales io favor of 1881, and one day to spare. A Supplemental B ll. A telegram to the Star, received yester day, states that a bill supplemental to the "Farmers' and Fishermen's Bill" has passed both Houses of the Legislature. It provides that nothing contained in tbe first bill shall be so construed as to interfere with tbe sao itaiy regulations ef the city, and that there shall be no exemption of butchers from license tax. These modifications of tbe original bill make it much more generally acceptable than it was, and we believe they give the city decidedly more power over the questions involved tban appears from a hasty reading of the bill. Later. Since the above was written we received by mail late last night, or rather early this morning, tbe full text of the bill above alluded to, which we give herewith: An act supplemental to an act entitled "Ad act to provide for tbe better protection ot farmers and fishermen." Whereas, The sole purpose and aim of an act entitled "An act for the better pro tection of farmers and fishermen," passed during tbe present session of the General Assembly, was to prevent oppression and extortion, and to enable vendors of fref-h meats, beef, pork, mutton, game, fieb, ousters, clams, garden truck and all farm products, to sell tbe same upon anv of tbe streets of the cities of Wilmington, Tarboru and-New Berne, or from wagons, carts, shops or stores, and not be forced to sell tbe same from tbe stalls of tbe Wilmiogton Market House Company, or to pay tribute to said corporation, therefore be il enaced: I. Tbat section first of said act shall not be construed to interfere with proper sani tary regulations adopted by the Mayor aod Board of Aldermen of the cities of Wil miogton, Tarboro and New Berne, under the direction of City Physicians and Boards of Health; and shall not be construed to exempt dealers in such articles from the payment of the usual license tax to said cities and towns, but no dealer shall be forced to pay any tax whatever for the benefit of tbe Wilmington Market House Company. 11. Section second of said act shall be amended by substituting the word "or" in the place of "and" in the fifth line of said section before the word "imprisond" and after the word "dollars." ILL All laws and clauses of laws io con flict with this act are hereby repealed. IV. .This act shall be io force from the date of its ratification . A Runaway Ox-ident. The only excitement in the neighbor hood of tbe City Hall, yesterday morning, was created by a runaway bx, attached to a country cart. It seems that the obstreper ous animal had been anchored by his owner, for a short time, by fastening tbe rope at tached to his head to the wheel of tbe cart, when he commenced' rearing to such an extent tbat It was feared he would dislocate bis neck; whereupon the driver, with the assistance of two other men, fioal- y Succeeded in undoing the rope. The driver them jumped into the cart, upon which tbe oz commenced running at tbe top of bis bent up Princess street, and had reached about half-way between Third and Fourth on tbat street, when a boll which held the cart in position gave way. tbe cart tilted backwards and the driver was thrown out of tbe cart and fell upon bis head on the pavement. Fortunately he received no injury, and the animal was finally coaxed into bebaviog himself in a proper manner. Editor Star: In reading the notice published by the Democratic Executive committee in your paper of the 6tb Inst., we find an error to which we would like to direct the committee's attention. Said notice specified that the primary meetings will be held on the 17th inst., and that at these meetings two candidates for Aldermen shall be selected from each ward. This, tbe committee seems to think, will constitute tbe entire business to be tran sacted at said meeting. In this there is an error, as it is incum bent upon, and tbe duty or, tbe Ex cutivn onmmiititA tnrennire of each of the several meetings tbe nomination of a Democrat good and true to represent tneir respective wards upon the Board of Audit and Finance. If tbe wards neglect this business at their next meetings when will it be attended to f No opportunity win do nnoraea ;vln i Via nrt inn vpnrn And even now tbe representation of wards upon the Board very unequal. Thn nrnaeni Rnnrd Rppma to irive satisfac tion, and its members will probably con-, atitnte the next Board, hut let tbem be regularly nominated, that no new and unwise precedent may oe esisousnea. Let toe .Executive committee a menu tueir call of the 5th inst., and require, as is jOBt and right, that nominations shall be made for Aldermen and also for members of tbe Board of Audit and .Finance.
