An obscure '"Half Breed" is to con test Coftkling's seat in the Republi can State Convention of New York. This means a fuss, And now, Mr. President, whatever else you may do or allow to be done, do not permit U. S. Grant to take charge of the engine. Some weeks ago the papers in the. North said that Guiteau had made the name of Stalwart forever dis gusting. Let us hold on and see if this is so. A special in some of our exchanges represents young Vance in his card as stigmatizing Mr. Hussy "as an infa mous scoundrel, a wilful liar, a cur and a sneak.'" We have not seen the card. aj. wTh. C Price, editor of the American Grocer, died at his residence in New York last Saturday from a dose of poison taken by mis take. He was born in Alabama in 132, was well educated and rose to the rank of Major in the Confederate army. Rev. Dr. Deems conducted the funeral services. "V hen sectionalism raises its Gor gon head let the following words of the late President be remembered. Said he: "I look forward with joy and hope to the day when our brave people, one in heart, ne in their aspirations for freedom and peace, shall see that the darkness through which we have travelled was but a part of that stern but beneficial discipline by which Jhe Great Disposer of Events has been leading us on to a higher and nobler na tional life." The Baltimore American, Repub "can, says the right thing for the Democrats to do is to elect "a mode rate Republican." This would be generous. But where is the "mode rate" to be found, and if found who Wl go on his bond that he will con llnue to be "moderate? " The Dem crats will be apt to do as the Re publicans would if they could elect ne of their own number.

As President he is sworn to discharge the duty to the best of his ability. : As - Presi dent he is responsible for the conduct of the government.

Cabinet-" : After thus delivering himself he consoles the country by assuring it that Arthur is "a man .of good, plain, horse-sense," and he will so act. Hear him farther with a statement of the Times : " 'He will begin his administration from the beginning, and it will be President Ar thur's administration, mind you, and the administration of no one -else, living or dead.' The speaker was a warm friend of Mr. Garfield's personally, though sympa thizing more stronelv with the Stalwart wing of the party. Ilis words so concisely illustrate a wiae prevailing sentiment tnat they are given as nearly as memory serves." In refusing to pursue Garfield's policy, will the new President pursue the Grant-Conkling policy ? That is the important question for the eonn- try- "We had forgotten, until we saw it mentioned by he Cleveland: corres pondent of the Philadelphia 'IVess, that there had been great danger of President Lincoln's remains being made way with through the act of human hyenas. - He writes : "That appalling chapter in the history of the Lincoln monument at Snrinirfield was related to me to-day by one who knew and loved the dead Lincoln and who lived to enjoy almost a full measure of General Garfield's trust and friendship. The speaker recalled the faet that the plans of the Springfield robbers were laid while two millions of people were bringing their tes timonials of love and respect to the bier of the dead President. The pint was as de liberate as the assassination had been. The remains, after lying in state in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Cleveland and Chicago, were borne in a leaden casket to their last resting-place,, a small vault shut in from the world only by a barrier of iron bars, to which the loving people brought fresh flowers. One who went to the tomb late at night discovered the work of ghouls, who knelt there, and, in the darkness of night, slowly sawed their way into the cham ber of death. The casket was removed from its resting-place and carried out into the open fields before help was brought and the foulest of crimes interrupted. On the following day the ponderous granite block at the base of the tomb was taken up and the remains of the dead President placed beneath it." President Garfield's body has been placed in the public vault at Cleve land until the final interment. Vete- rans of the Forty-second Ohio Regi ment have offered to guard the vault. Senator Voorhees, in his eloquent memorial address on the late Presi dent, at Terre Haute, Indiana, said he had known him eighteen years and had served with him in Congress seven years. He said his two great traits were kindness of nature and mental activity, The following is good and cordial: "He had the joyous spirits of boyhood and the robust intellectuality of manhood more perfectly combined than any I ever knew. Nature was bountiful to him, and his acquirements were extensive and solid. If I might make a comparison I would say that with the exception of ; Jefferson and John Quincy Adams he was the most learned President in- what is written in books in the whole range of American his tory."

In Sunday's issue, iii this col umn, we intended to say that the store on Market street occupied by Mr.,-Win. .H. Green, the druggist, was sold at auction and purchased by him, but the types had it otherwise. Geo. W.

His name was accidentally omitted in the list of speakers as it ap peared in the Stab. The receipts of : cotton at this port yesterday footed up l.SOtf bales, being the largest amount for anyone day this season. On the same day last year (the 27th) the largest receipts for, any one day in the month were recorded. In the resolutions presented to the meeting at the Opera House Monday afternoon, as published in the Stab yester day morning, two errors occurred which require correction.- In the last - paragraph of the preamble for "great expression of sorrow and sympathy," read "general ex pression," eta ; and, in the first resolution, for "their natural affliction," read?

It is stated that Postal Agents Rourke and Hawkins, on the route from this city to Richmond, 'Va., were severely injured.' Postal Agent Bagley, who was on one -of the trains in collision, and whb-was in this city yesterday, says that Rourke and Haw kins were only slightly hurt. Narrow Eaeape. Capt. Walter Taft's little steamer, the Biz, was coming up the river Saturday af ternoon, with himself and Mr. Wm. Mints' son on board, when the boat ran upon a snag at the jetties, about nine miles below this city, and the two found it impossible to get her off. Finally they thought the boat was about to capsize and Capt. Taft with his young companion started to swim ashore, first having repeatedly blown the whistle and shouted for help. This was forthcoming, and after swimming some dis tance the two were taken up by a boat manned by colored men. The rescuers then took Capt Taft and young Mints to the steamer, which, with their assistance, was removed from her perilous position, when Capt. T. and the young man got on board and came up to the city. When res cued Messrs. Taft and Mints were nearly exhausted The Sneoden Pond. The following additional amounts have been received by us for the benefit of Mr. John Sneeden: Cash $ 1.00 Cash 1.50 Maj. James Reilly 1.00 Capt. D.

Mayor's Court. The case of Robert Stevenson and Wil liam Williams, the two colored boys who were arrested on the wharf Monday morn ing with a number of bags and butter kegs in their possession, came up before the Mayor yesterday morning. No one appear ing to make affidavit or prosecute the par ties Stevenson was discharged, he promis ing to leave the city, but the case of Wil liams was continued to await further de velopments. Cotton Receipt. We give below, as a matter of some in terest, and in response to inquiries, the port receipts of cotton in the United States for the four complete cotton weeks of October, 1880: October 8 197,819 bales. " 15..-. 208,088 " " 22 254,154 " " 59 248,932 " Total 908,993 bales. Altercation on the Street. Considerable excitement was created for a few moments on Market street, yesterday afternoon, by an attempt of one party to chastise another for alleged slander against a member of his family, but the two were separated before any serious consequences resulted, and the parties were recognized for their appearance before Mayor Smith this morning.

The Phila delphia Times says that Mr. George Hoey 'a play has conquered a genuine success at the Arch Street Theatre, and it is a pleasure to say that it deserves all 'the patronage and applause it receives. An Allege4 Case of Barslary. , Isaaq Stanly, colored, was arrested Mon day evening on the charge of burglariously entering the residence of one Carrie Boone, colored, on Church, between .Fifth and Sixth streets, on Friday night last. It seems that the complainant's husband , was away from home, and that some time during the night, there being a lamp burning in the room at the time, she suddenly awoke and found a man standing near her bed. She thought at the first moment that the person was her husband who had returned home, but upon closer view discovered that the man was a stranger. . She then screamed and shouted, arousing the neighbors, some of whom resided in the same building, but in the meantime the accused had made his es cape. It was subsequently discovered that the man entered by forcing open a window, and had afterwards unlocked the back door and changed the key to the outside, a precaution which can be readily under stood. Carrie Boone had a daughter in the room with her who said she knew the man, and identified him the next morning as is alleged, in the person of Isaac Stanly, who was arrested and lodged in jail to await a preliminary examination before Justice Millis. THr. Sneeden' Condition. We were glad to learn, as we did at a late hour yesterday afternoon, that the con dition of Mr. John Sneeden, the unfortunate young man who was so badly injured by the premature discharge of a cannon during the ceremonies in respect to the memory of President Garfield, on Monday afternoon last, was as favorable as could be expected and that he was resting tolerably easy. It cannot be determined with any degree of certainty, as yet, as to the probable result in regard to what remains of the wounded right hand or with reference to the injury to his sight. He may lose one of his eyes, and there is a possibility that they may both be preserved. The great mat ter for thankfulness just now is the assurance of his physician of the probability of his final recovery from the shock of the wound upon his nervous sys tem. There is already talk of an application to Congress for his relief at . its next session, which commences in December, and we doubt not that such a petition will meet with a favorable consideration. Bound Over. Louis Sheridan, colored, had a hearing before a magistrate yesterday on the charge of violating chapter 70, Battle's RevisaL in inciting or procuring a party who had con tracted with a certain employer to leave the service of said employer. He was recog nized in the sum of $50, in two cases, for his appearance at the approaching term of the Criminal Court.

Some Vaeta and Speculation . lav Con neetloH jejthithe .Proposition f to JEs : tabllsh Direct v Communication py i Steam Between Wilmington and for ' eicn Port, ; Those who iobk upbn the advent of the British' steamer Batnesmore in our waters as a matter of only ordinary interest,' with out important or permanent .significance, are greatly mistaken. . Her appearance here was the result of months of earnest thought and'deliberation, and with the view of in augurating a hew era in' the commercial history , of pur port. , Her : visit here . is an experiment, it fa true, but there is every reason to hope that it may prove a success ful one, and that the Bafnesmore inky in reality prove but the; pioneer of a permanent' line of steamsMrjs between Wilmington and European , ports.. -,No seaport town or city has eyer attained, to a posi-; tion of any prominence , where then" lead ing business men have lacked those indis pensable requisites to prosperity push and energy. To these important qualities 'Nor folk to-day . owes whatever of commercial prosperity she enjoys, and . the diversion of the products of our own State, from our own ports to build up. that of a neighboring Commonwealth is one of the natural results, Norfolk, though possessing better natural advantages than some other ports, made very insignificant strides in commercial progress until her business men resolved to have direct steamship connection with European ports." This was the great incen tive which has given her a position among the most, prosperous and prom ising of Southern cities, while the lack of it has kept Wilmington, as it were, in a state of commercial vassalage and conse quent poverty. There is no reason to-day why Wilmington should not be among the foremost of her. Southern sisters in the struggle for wealth and commercial pros perity if her business:' men . would - only awake from their seeming lethargy. One argument in favor of steam in con nection with our foreign exportations is its superior reliability as compared with sails. When a steamer starts for a foreign port some idea can be formed as to when she will reach her destination, which is a matter of considerable import ance, especially to shippers in the. interior, who sell for delivery in Liverpool in the" following month,' which . at the beginning of the season is the most profitable busi ness. All such shipments as these have hitherto passed Wilmington and gone to Norfolk, Port Royal, etc. Another point for consideration in this connection is the fact and we are assured that it is a fact that a steamer sailing every week from Wilmington, at current rates of freight, would (in all probability) double the cotton receipts in a year. The Barnesmore will remain here about ten days, and will, we understand, leave not less than $5,000 cash for pressing, sup plies, paying stevedores, etc., which fact is adduced in answer to the oft-repeated as sertion that steamers leave no money in Wilmington. When the ship returns to Liverpool Capt.. Trenery will make his report, exhibit his account of disbursements, his log showing whatever difficulties or inconveniences he may have encountered in making this, his first trip to Wilmington, and we are as sured that from present indications the ex hibit will be exceedingly favorable to our port. There is yery reason to expect, and at a very early day, a still further improve ment in our bar and river, but even with the present depth of water Capt. Trenery is of the opinion that a line of steamers could run here without any trouble. We are sat isfied that Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, the "consignees of the fine steamer now. here, have ventured upon the exper iment of introducing her as much with the view of benefiting Wilmington and en deavoring to place the city upon the high road to prosperity, as from a desire to min ister, to their Own personal aggrandizement, and that nothing would please them better than to see a general interest awakened among our business men upon this subject, with the resulting cooperation so neces sary in bringing about at once a system of direct communication by steam with Liver pool and other foreign ports.

For the Star. Wiljokotoit, Sept. 27, 1881. Mr. Editor: It was my pleasure (and I feel to my profit) to worship last Sunday morning at the Front Street Methodist church. As I approached I noticed the doorways were draped in mourning. En tering the church my eyes resud upon the sad emblems festooned around the front of either gallery and overthe pulpit arch. The pulpit was clad in tne habiliments of sor row, and the pillars 'neath the gallery were wreathed heavily with drapery. Ten der hands, moved by tender and sympa thizing hearts, had tastefully draped tile church in mourning, consequent upon the tragic death of the nation's Chief Execu tive. The surroundings were calculated to soften the heart, and make one tread lightly, as though it were upon the threshold of the grave. Soon the pas tor entered; and the choir sang in full harmony with the occasion "Blessed are the dead," &c. After the usual service of prayer and song the pastor, Dr. Yates, took for his text a part of the 1st verse of the 97th Psalm: "The Lord reigneth Let the earth rejoice," I shall not attempt to give even a synopsis of his sermon; it is beyond me to do this; but for grandeur of thought and impressive of truth, a lesson from the sad event fraught with warnings to us as a nation, I have never heard the like. It was a bold stand for God and righteousness; a bold stand for law and order; a bold stand against abuse and political sinnings. It was full of tenderness and sympathy for the wife and mother whose, hearts have been pierced by the assassin's bullet, and for whom a great tear-drop of the world was being shed Few dry eyes were in that audience, and none I think left but that felt they had learned a great lesson. For one, I would like to hear that sermon repeated, and would that every citizen of Wilmington could listen and learn the same lesson. Truly yours, Hearer. DON'T DIE IN THE HOUSE.
