VOL. XXVIII. NO. 33.
Brady haa been diacharged and hia
Chief Clerk, John I Freocb, to
follow at once. Garfield and Poat-
maater General Jamee hare reaolred
opoo a thorough purification of the
Poet Ofice DepartmeoL It ia maoi-
feet that it ia ia need of it eorely.
The following from -tbe Philadel
phia Vej a letter ia rather algnificant:
A stroog preaaare u being broaght
to bear on members of the Cabinet
toprerent any farther ate pe being
takea in the proeecation oC the mem
bers of the King. It Is said that
ooe of theae mot-prominently im
plicated in the scandal oontriblted
largely to the campaign fund laat fall
and are relyiog a poo this fact to
emtio tnemeeiTcs irom panunment
If the report be trne it will hardlr
senre the purpose of thoee who regard
political services as a abield from
punishment for official corruption.
The Preaideot said to-day .that no
official under hia Administration
should be made to suffer without a
hearing. The Attorney General has
been ad? ised of every step which has
thus far been taken -io the matter,
and all the faele and testimony pre
sented against thoee charged to nave
participated in the fraads will be
care! ally weighed and considered bo-
fore it is given force and effect.
There is Washington talk of the
probable withdrawal of Riddleberger.
It ia said Garfield has promised to
give him office. There is no proba
bility of the Democrats yielding.
There ia some talk also of the Re-
publicana reporting to "revolutionary
method." That ia, that Vice Presi
dent Arthnr will allow the Republi
cans, with Mahoce, to organise the
Senate. The Richmond Dispatch $
letter giveethe opinion of a Demo
cratic Senator 'aa to what hia party
ought to do next winter. He says:
"I would have them inform the
Republicans that thirty-eight Sena
tors have equal rights with thirty
eight other Senators, aod that the
committees must be equally divided.
'Pappose they refuser I asked. He
said: 'I would then have oar Senators
stand just aa firm as they sre now
alandiog. He evidently had no idea
of either compromising or surrender
ing. What be said about expresses
the views of all the Democrats I
hsvs reoeolly msl at Washington.
This indicates that the deadlock has
oot hurt the Democratic party, but,
o fact, haa given backbone to lis
eadera."
The Baltimore American corres
pondent st Washington write that
there ia a large element in the Iio
publicao party that is in favor of
acting on the President's nomina
tions. Toe following has interest:
"Senator Piatt, of New York, was
also among those of the recent ab-
w a a
eeoieee to return. lie arrived nere
thia tnorniog, and as there was con
siderable gossip afloat concerning his
at ure course, his return was the oc-
caeioo of some speculation. The
Senator ia reported to have cat loose
from the Conkling faction, and,
rumor says, will hereafter endeavor
to establish a formidable Piatt ele
ment in New York State. His friends
say be will side with the President in
forcing speedy action oo the pending
nominations, and will demand as
much consideration io the disposition
of publio patronage in hia State as
Conkling and the so-called bosses."
The following is complimentary of
a young North Carolioiao. It gives
as plessare to copy- it. The Rich
mood Stale says:
"Walter II. Page, the author of
the interesting pspsr, atndy of a
Southern Boroogh,' which appears in
the current number of the Auaruic
Monthly, is a native of North Caro
lina, and is only 25 years of age. He
is a graduate of Randolph Macon
College and a Fellow of the Johns
Hopkins University. Mr. Psge was
for a time associate eoitor ox toe
Louisville Aae, bat is now the editor
of the Gazette published in St. Jo
seph, Mo. It is oot too much to say
that Mr. Psge gives promise of being
ooe of the first men of letters in this
country." '
The directors of the Virginia Mid
and Railroad decided that the
proper route be determined by actual
sorvey under J. B. Yates, the regn-
xt engineer in the employ of the
company. j specisi io iuo vumr-

Raleigh Farmer is Mechanic:
Go awsy with your foolishness! Why, in
s number of instances our North Carolina
Bright Yellow" tobacco baa sold for $4,
$7 snd $S per pound, instead of the 100
pounds) These, it ia true, were "rancy
prices" for very small lots. But instead of
$3 per acre, lb ere are nunareae ot our
farmers who make from $400 to $600 per
acre. There is a curious fashion in
Raleigh of going fishing en Easter
Monday. Nearly one thousand persons
went forth last Mondsy, but there were
mighty few "perch" for so many "poles."

Raleigh News-Observer: It is

Wilmington has been fortunate thus far
this season in having provided for the in
teliectual appetite of her citizens such
choice food from such rare sources, thus
implanting in the menUl system the germs
of a vigorous and healthy intellectual
growth that will : strengthen and expand
with the coming years. Few cities of
much greater pretensions have been more
favored in this respect, and the thanks of
thoee who properly appreciate such rare
entertainments are due to the gentlemen of
the Wilmington Library Association, who
have spared no effort to give us lectures of
the highest sUndard of excellence. To
night, at the Opera House, Rev. Joseph R-
Wilson, D. D will deliver the fourth of
the series on a subject that will afford him
ample scope for the display of his powers

to do with It, when he replied that he might
have some need of it. He afterwards
went to a house in the neighborhood occu

soon thereafter the report of a gun was
heard in that direction, which was follow

corpse of another colored man in the road

covered tbat: -her- pocket-book, containing
four dollars in - money end - other articles,'
bad been left in a pocket of. one of the
dresses. Shet immediately went to the
house of the washerwoman, .one Flora
Tyler, colored, and made inquiry about the
pocket book, but the woman declared she
had cot seen it, and : knew notbiog about
it. She saw the vdresa referred to,' how
ever, and cqticed ; that the. pockets wero
turned wrong-side ouU She knew the
pocket-book had been-in the pocket of the
dress when it wsa taken from her house,
and 'she therefore had a search warrant is-'
sued by Justice Millis, which was placed in
the hands of Deputy Sheriff J. W. Bryan,
who went to the house of Flora Tyler and
instituted a search for the missing property.
Upon entering he found a portion of the
money described in the warrant on a bed
in one ofube rooms, and when pressed by
the officer to inform him what had become
of the pocket-book she finally told him
him that her husband, Wm. Tyler, had it.
This individual was seen to leave tbe
house a few minutes before, and the officer
started 'in pursuit. Upon getting on the
street Tyler was observed in the act of
turning a corner, when Officer Bryan called
to one ' Wm. Smith, colored, and asked
him to tell Tyler to stop. He did so, and
the officer soon came up with him, but in
the meantime Tyler had made an attempt
to hide tbe pocket-book by dropping it in
the cart rut in tbe middle of the street and
throwing dirt over it with his feet. The
attempt was discovered, however, and the
officer recovered the book, which was
easily identified by its contents, among
which, besides a portion of the money,
were eight printed tickets usually given
out by clothiers and a small paper parcel
containing two skeleton squirrel's feet
The two parties were both arrested, and
had a hearing before Justice Millis, who
ordered them to give bond In the sum of
$50 each for their appearance at the next
term of the Criminal Court, in default of
which they were committed to jail.

business, he finally sent him In charge of a
guard to cut wood in the forest near by.
The guard, upon his return, reported that
Sanders, h after working for some time,
asked permission to step aside for a mo
ment, which was granted, and, after wait
ing a suitable length of time for his return,
and he not making his appearance, the
guard went to look for him and he was
gone, and the most diligent search failed
to discover his whereabouts. Jir. Savage,
as soon as he heard of the escape, came to
this city and instituted a thorough search
for him, .but without success, and it is
supposed that he has made his way to South
Carolina,' where he is said to belong.
Sanders was sentenced at the last term
of the Criminal Court to twelve months
imprisonment for carrying a concealed
weapon.
