-
dent than any other one; man outside of
uonkhng. The President makes no con
cealment of his devotion to Grant Grant
has been the first and the last- man at the
secret Presidential conference.'
He says his consultations with' the
Stalwarts are frequent and are pro
tracted to a late hour at night. Grant.
Cameron, Logan, . Jones, Edmunds,
Beale and. others are his special ad
visers. Here is lirant s way of ad
vising: "Grant has been for an immediate and
entire Stalwart Cabinet, which would at
once dismiss all of the Garfield Cabinet but
Lincoln, who was a Grant delegate to the
Chicago Convention but not admitted.
Grant urged the immediate nomination of
Conkline, Beutwell, Beale and others of
that positive Stalwart type to the Cabinet.
He believes that the way to sustain a Stal
wart administration is to make it Stalwart
boldly, and let the party understand that
Garfield is dead and- his policy with him.
He wants Boutwell and Seale in the new:
Cabinet. His love for them is equaled only
by his hatred for Blaine and MacVeagh."
He says Arthur is adroit, cautious
and leans to the side of discretion.
He is a bitter Stalwart, but full of
shrewd devices. Here's some inside
history:
" The appointment of Morgan, who does
not 'want the place, was one of Arthur's
shrewd devices. It shocks none of the
Garfield element, and he was expected to
accept and retire in December , or soon
theieafter, when Roscoe Conkling could be
called to the Cabinet, unless Lapham can be
sent abroad and Conkling elected to the
Senate ; but Morgan has declined to be made
a warming pan for Conkling- Blaine and
all the Garfield element of the government
will soon, cease to be known in the admin'
istration, but it will not be done in time to
enable the Republicans to rebuke Stalwart-
ism at the .November elections.
The North Carolinians doing busi
ness in New York, held a meeting at
the Tremont Hotel, on the 12th inst.,
to consider the death of that excel-
ent gentleman, Captain Edwin T.
Cheatham, of Granville, which oc
curred recently in that city. He is
put down at 58 years old, but that is
a mistake. He was not more than
56, we think, and possibly not more
than 55. Captain John M. Walker
presided and W. S. Prior was secre
tary. The resolutions were highly
appropriate, touching and just. He
was indeed an excellent man, kind,
urbane, true, amiable, just and hon
orable. Here are two of the resolu
tions: -V

ness beyond the limits of his native State,

the Confederate army as a North Carolina
soldier should secure for his name a place

State8ville Landmark : Work
has been ordered stopped upon the exten
sion of the Western North Carolina depot
at this place. It is supposed that this
change of purpose on the part of the au
thorities of the road is in some way con
nected with the recent purchase by the
Richmond and Uanville people ot tne
Charlotte and Statesville Railroad.
Dr. L. Harrell, of this place, one of the
directory of the Cape Fear and Yadkin
Valley Railroad, was called to Raleigh last
week to attend a meeting of the board. It
had been expected that a proposition for
the purchase of the road would have been
laid before the directors and discussed, and
President Gray, who had been made ac
quainted in advance with the terms of the
proposition was rather surprised that no
communication was received, but attributed
it to a delay for which there was a sufficient
reason. It is understood that parties in
New York are prepared to offer fifty-five j
thousand dollars for the State's stock in the
road, assume its liabilities and bind them
selves to build it according to the charter.
They say it is their desire to open a line
direct from Cincinnati to Wilmington, and 1
that they cannot command all needful cap
ital. It is stated that Governor Jarvis is in
favor of a sale upon the terms proposed
and Dr. Harrell himself is favorably in,
clined towards it.

Wednesday night, sometime between 11
P. M. and daylight, the residence of J.
W. Bryan, one of the Sheriffs deputies,
living on Swann, between Sixth and
Seventh streets, was entered and robbed of
a number of articles, including a silver
watch, a gold breastpin belonging to Bryan's
wife, a package of sugar, etc. The thief
was evidently a very bold one, as he ran
sacked the room in which Bryan and his
wife were sleeping, with a double-barrel
gun almost in reach, and took the breastpin
from a necklace which was lying in imme
diate proximity to the weapon. He was no
doubt searching for money, but his indus
try in this particular was not rewarded with
success. The fastening to the window
through which the thief entered was acci
dentally left off, and advantage was taken
of the circumstance. No clue.

Oscar Jones, colored, was before Mayor

We continue our extract from the diary
alluded to in our last; and ui this connection'
we would state, as is doubtless , remembered
by. many, that the fever: was first declared
epidemic on the 13th of September;.
October 11. It is thought the worst is
over.' " You will see the number of new

in proportion. Among tne many now sick
are Rev. Dr. Drane, Dr. W. G; T.; A. fM..
R. F. B., and R W. .The, .sick at the?

of the Market, looking up Market and
Front streets, you see very few persons. At

for medicine; at the Mayor's office appli
cants for nurses, help and coffins; at the
supply store constant demands for some
thing to eat, comforts for the sick and con
valescing; all kinds of work suspended, and
only one store (Lane's) open, save those of

. Case in Court About a Floclc of
Geese.
George Haggett, colored, went before one
of our magistrates, yesterday, and had . a
search warrant and a warrant for larceny
issued against one Ransom Cobb, whom he
accused of having seven head of geese in
his possession which were his property.
The geese were found in Cobb's possession,
but there was no apparent disposition on
the part of the defendant to conceal them.
After hearing the evidence in the case the
defendant was discharged:' It seems that
though Haggett proved by his witnesses
that the geese were his property, Cobb
proved by apparently equally credible testi
mony that they were not only his own, but
were hatched on his premises.
The case ended, as above stated. A civil
action of claim and delivery was then com
menced by Haggett, before the same jus
tice of the 'peace, with the view of getting
possession of the geese, the case being set
for a future hearing.

WHO IS MBS. WINSLOWT Aa thl question
Is frequently asked, we will simply say that she is
a lady who for upwards of thirty years has unti
ringly aevotea her time ana talents as a leznaie
Physician and nurse, principally among1 children.
She has esneciallv studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as a result of
this effort, and practical knowledge, obtained in
a lifetime spent as a nurse and physician, she has
compounded a Soothing Syrup for children teeth
ing. It operates like - magioflymg rest and
health, and is, moreover, sure to regulate the
bowels. In consequence or this artiole Mrs. Wins
low Is becoming world-renowned as a benefactor
of her race; children certainly do bisk trp and
bless her; especially is this the oase in this city.
Vast quantities of the Soothing Syrup are dailt
sold and used here. We think ilra. Winslow has
immortalized her name by tnla, invaluable arti
cle, and we sincerely believe -thousands of chil
dren haTe been saved from an early grave by its
timely use, and that millions yet unborn will
Share its benefits, and unite in calling her blessed.
No Mothxb has discharged her duty to heiSsuffer
ing little one, in our opinion, until she has given
it the benefit of Krs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup.
