Guiteau was on the witness stanvesterday ; he gave his expe rience for the past iour years, ana tola how he received the inspiration to kill President Garfield. Two negroes were lynched at Shepperdstown, La., for the murder of a Mr. Catlin. The mail driver from Jackson to Clinton, La., shot and the man bags tasen. inree men killed and one fatally injured by a boiler explosion near Jacksonville, Texas. Government receipts during November nearly $30,000,000; expenditures upwards of 16,000,000. .New lorfc markets: Money 6 per cent., and 1-16 commission; cotton firm at 1212 5-1 6c; southern flour unchanged and quiet at $5 858 00; wheat $$c highr, ungraded red $1 251 41 ; corn Jc higher, closing weak and de clining, ungraded 6370c; rosin dull at $2 202 25; spirits turpentine a shade easier at 560. "Winmuller, the wounded student, declares he did not shoot himself. It turns out that Mrs. Lincoln is "provided for amply. Her income is $8,000. The tap-crop of office-seekers will be unusually large in North Cnrolina next year. The Virginia Repudiationists polled 95,000. Of these 71,000 were Re publican and negro mostly. That fellow who has been paying twelve-cents for October (1882) cot ton at the New York Exchange evi dently believes in the "future" of the great staple. Mrs. Christiancy's mother swears to the fact that the ex-Senator knocked his wife down one day when he was drunk. He promised her not to ti urf the offence. She swears that he and his son often got drunk, and fought often. John T. L. Sneed, ex-Chief J ustice of Tennessee, is a native of Oxford, North Carolina. He has just made a speech at La Grange against the settlement of the State debt proposed by the Legislature. He pronounces it "a great iniquity, which should be throttled in the courts if possible." "Hie Philadelphia Press, Republi can, says that "Solicitor General Phillips has made a grave mistake in raising technical objections to the re ception of Mr. A. M. Gibson's report, a mistake which may, unless it is promptly retraced, put the Adminis tration hopelessly in the wrong on a most important issue." A Washington special to the New York Evening Post, Rep., says that the State Department has sent dis patches to Minister Hurlbert and Minister Kilpatrick reprimanding them. There is a strong probability that" they will be recalled. They are a nice set; fit representatives of the "party of high moral ideas." Acting Postmaster General Hatton has issued an important order con cerning the transmission of mail mat ter from places infected with small pox. Here is the gist of it: "Where the health officers of a village, town or city, by official action, declarp that mail matter from any other village, town or city is liable to communicate a conta gious disease, which at the time is prevail ing in the place whose mail it ia thus sought to quarantine, and such health officers shall furnish to the Postmaster a certified copy of such declaration, it shall be the duty of said Postmaster to refuse to accept said mail matter from any carrier or mail messenger." Political gossips are handling Sen ator Butler and Attorney General Conner's names rather unceremoni 0U8ly, it strikes us, when they asso ciate them with a Mahone movement 111 South Carolina. We are willing to believe anything else than evil of Senator Butler. When he sells out then it will be high time for the Northern press to proclaim there is a fcfeak in the "Solid South." The Richmond State quotes our 8quib about a "Kurnel's Day" at At lanta and says: .vfad what have the 'Judge' and the Jor' done hat-yoi leave them out in the I .- The "Maiabs" are nrif. an ah n rid ant. iier.on this side of the line; 'and the "Jedges" are. not - 00 numerous as I'M; XXIX.

BishoD Lvman confirmed two persons at Winston and three at Oxford. Hickory Carolinian : Twelve men as the Executive Committee of the anti-prohibition party ask you to disregard old party lines, while only one of them claims to be a Democrat, as we are in formed. Go slow. Asheville Citizen: But few of our own people are aware of the fact that a boot and shoe factory, employing a num ber of first-class workmen, is in active operation in Asheville. and is turning out from one hundred to one hundred and thirty pairs of first-class boots and shoes ladies and men s, every week. Greensboro Tribune: The Ra leigh Newt-Observer says Senator Mahone threatens to ask for an investigation by the Senate into the course 01 Southern states that have scaled their debts. He hopes to make a pass at Senator Vance, who spoke in Virginia against him, by showing that North Carolina has readjusted. New Berne Nut Shell' Died, in this city, Saturday, November 25th, 1881, George YV. Koberts, of Portsmouth, JNortn Carolina, in the 41st year of his age. In this city, Monday morning, November 28th, 1881, William Salter, in the Sdth year of his age. On the morning of the 28th inst, Mrs. Charity Cooper, relict of the late George Cooper, in the 80th year of her age. Shelby Aurora : The Baptist denomination, in Rutherfordton are just completing a fine two story brick church. About 5,200 bales snipped irom the depot, in this place, this season. A military company has been organized at Boiling Springs, in Township No. 2. - We regret to announce tne aeatn 01 miss Julia Jennings, daughter of Mr. E. B. Jen nings, of this place, which occurred on the 18th inst. This is the second daughter that Mr. and Mrs. Jennings have lost in less than two months. Wadesboro Intelligencer: On Sundav mornin? last, about 10 o'clock A. M., the gin of Mr. Watt Ratliff, of Gul lege Township, was burned. It is unknown whether or not it was an accident or the work of an incendiary. There were some four or five bales of cotton and about 1,600 or 1,700 lbs. of cotton seed destroyed. The Board of County Commissioners met in the Court House in this place Monday, and considered the petition presented to them by a number of tho voters of Anson county, for the abolition of the fences in Wadesboro township. The petition was signed bjr 328 qualified voters of said township. This ia a majority of 39. The petition was granted, and the fences will be abolished on and after January 1, 1882. Charlotte Observer: Just as the North bound passenger train which left Charlotte Saturday evening was starting out of Lexington Capt. Dodson, who had just pulled the bell rope and was standing on the platform of the car behind the smoking car, saw a man standing between two cars of a freight train drawn up on a siding. By the reflection of the lieht from the window of the car he saw the man, a negro, taking deliberate aim at him with a pistol and in stantly it was discharged, and the ball went crashing through the window in the rear end of the smoking car, which was crowded with colored people. The captain distinctly heard the whiz of the bullet as it passed him, and had it not been for the fact that he sprang back when the shot was fired would probably have stopped its progress. Asheville News : Dixon, who was tried in the Federal Court one year ago for robbing the mail in Mitchell county and convicted, and judgment suspended, was at the present term of the court sent to the penitentiary at Albany for one year. Mr. William Reeves and wife, of Ten nessee, who had been visiting their brother, Dr. Ruf us Reeves, of this place, met with a severe accident on their trip home last Thursday. While going down the Tennes see side, of Walnut Mountain the horses became unmanageable and ran violently down the mountain, throwing Mr. R. out of the hack and seriously and dangerously injuring him. Mrs. Reeves jumped and was somewhat bruised, but not danger ously . The hack was broken entirely to pieces. Raleieh News- Observer: J udge Eure, of Gates, raised 4,300 pounds seed cotton from a single acre of land this sea son, and baled sixteen bales, averaging 500 pounds, from an eight and a half acre lot. Mr. Aleck Carter, of the same county, raised twenty-six Stales, averaging &uu pounds, from fifteen acres. -mi. mom ford McGehee, Commissioner of Agricul ture, who is just back from Atlanta, says that our exhibit there is conswuiuy .wa- ORNiNll N.

Green has added largely to his beautiful and extensive display of wines from the Tokay vineyard. Boats are now running regularly on Tar river, between Tarboro and Washington. The Old Dominion and Clyde lines both run steamers on this line. Large quanti ties of cotton are being shipped down this river. Passengers travelling to the eastern part of the State will find good accommo dations on these steamers. Winston Leader: The members of the Methodist church, of this place, are taking steps to the erection of a new church building. It will occupy the site of the old one, and is to cost $10,000, $7,500 of which has been subscribed. We'll No-vember no longer. A correspon dent of the Raleigh News-Observer, at High Point, informs that paper that a party of gentleman are about to locate and build a road from Fayetteville via Deep River and High Point to Winston. It is quite an easy matter to build a railroad on paper. The actual building is quite another thing. A new mineral has recently been dis- coveredwn Mecklenburg ' county and called Leopardite, from the fact that it is spot- ted like a leopard. It is claimed that it is the only place where it is found in the State. There is a large quantity of it in Stokes county, we are informed, and we have seen a specimen of it. - Why, some thirty or forty years ago Mr. J. B. Kings bury and Mr. Edward Martin discovered this peculiar mineral in that county. The quarry is not worked but it is there. It is superior in color to that found in Mecklen burg. A fine specimen of jasper is also found in Stokes. The State Geologist proj nounces it splendid. TIHIIEi CITT". NEW AJDVKKTISKIttENXS. - A. David Rare bargains. Munson New lot ulsterettes. J. C.

Gore, of this city, received a telegraphic order yes terday to ship 300 bushels of the oily nuts to Atlanta by Express. And he shipped 'em right along, too. Criminal Court.

Martin, a well known colored man of this city, informs the Star that he pur poses to undertake the work of completing the Wilmington Coast Railway. Messrs. Geo. R. French & Son and other gentlemen, who are the principal stockholders in the road, have agreed to make Martin a present of the franchise, provided he begins work upon the road within six months, and with a reasonable assurance of completing it. About five or six miles of the road have been graded already. Martin is "confident of success in his enterprise, and says that if no impediment is thrown in his way he will have the road built and in running order to the Sounds bythie 1st of July next, and will then continue its construc tion to New River. The Star heartily wishes success to Mar tin in his enterprise. If he accomplishes his purpose he will be the first of his race, in this part of the world at least, that has ever built a railroad. Death of ISr. W. A. Patterson. Mr. William A. Patterson, of the firm of Patterson & Hicks, died at the residence of Mr. W. H. McRary, in this city, yesterday, after a lingering-illness, of consumption. He was a native of Milton, Caswell county, but has been residing in Wilmington for twenty-five years, where he was noted for his quiet, unobtrusive manners and ex ceedingly pleasant disposition. At a meeting of the Produce Exchange, held yesterday at noon, the death of Mr. Patterson, who was a member, was an nounced, when, on motion of Mr. C. H. Robinson, it was ordered that the members meet at their rooms to-day one-half hour before the time named for the services, and attend the funeral in a body. It was also ordered that a page in the record book of the Exchange be dedicated to his memory, and that tne Exchange be closed during tne iunenu services.

Canedo in Consultation .with Our Business Jtlen on the Subject or the Great Railroad Scheme He Repre sentsAnother Visit In Prospect The Act to Provide the Commission to Sell the Stock of the C. P. Sc Y. V. R. R., See. Dr. A. H. Canedo, representing the New York and Southern Railroad and Telegraph Construction Company, who has recently made a proposition to purchase the stock of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail road Companywas here yesterday for the purpose of consultation with our business men on matters pertaining to the proposed purchase and the scheme of railroad con nections he represents. At an informal meeting of a number of the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Produce Exchange, at the rooms of the latter, yesterday at 12.30 p. m., he stated the object of the Company to be to con struct a grand trunk line from WUmington via Fayetteville, Greensboro, Mt. Airy, through Virginia and Kentucky to Coving ton, opposite Cincinnati, Ohio, with branches down the Guyandotte river, West Virginia, and down the Tug Fork of Big Sandy, from Prestonsburg, Kentucky, to Ashland, on the Ohio river, and by con nection at Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, with Louisville. Also a branch from Lloyd's, near Germantoh, North Carolina, up the Yadkin Valley to Patterson, . Caldwell county, North Carolina, and a subsidiary branch to Ore Knob ; and also to construct a line from Florence, South Carolina, through Fayetteville to Goldsboro, North Carolina. Dr. Canedo read a lengthy statement in regard to the proposed enterprise, tending to show its feasibility, the rich products of iron, coal, etc., with which it would have connection, the rich agricultural sections through which it would pass, and other and various advantages which would be certain to accrue from the scheme. In reply to questions propounded by Mr. A. H. VanBokkelen and others. Dr. Canedo stated it as the intention of the company he represented, in addition to the $55,000 paid for the State stock, to pay off the entire floating debt of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Railroad Company, amounting, it was understood, to about $100,000, before the final consummation of the agreement. We learn that it is the intention of Dr. Canedo and party to meet Gov. Jarvis in this city on or about the 13th of December, when they will together examine the river and the terminal facilities of Wilmington generally, preparatory to the meeting of the Commissioners at Raleigh on the 19th inst., it being the intention of Dr. Canedo and party to go from here to Raleigh by the way of Fayetteville, to be present at said meeting. " In this connection we thought it might be of interest to publish the act of the General Assembly providing a Commission to sell the stock of the C. F. & Y. V. R. R. Company: Section 1. That A. J.

F. & Y. V. R. R., within a period not exceeding three years from date of sale to them; Pro vided, that nothing in this act shall be con strued to discharge said, railroad company from any indebtedness to the State for loans or convict labor. Sec. 2. That said commissioners shall have full power and authority to negotiate and settle the terms of said sale, and on behalf of -the State of North Carolina, by their chairman, to sign all necessary con tracts and assurances, which contracts and assurances, when so made and approved by the Governor . of North Carolina and his council, and by a stock vote of a majority of the stockholders of said company in general meeting assembled, shall be valid and binding upon the State of North Caro lina, and upon the other contracting par ties; Provided, that nothing contained in this act shall authorize the sale of said stock in said railroad for a less sum than fifty-five thousand dollars. Dr. Canedo will leave for New York this evening. Foreign Shipments. The following shipments from Wilming ton to foreign ports were made yesterday: German barque Elizabeth AArens, Capt.

This marvellous freak of nature, if he may be so termed, gave a concert at the Opera House last evening to a very good house, that applauded his every effort heartily. His performances are as marvel lous and astounding as ever, and cause the same surprise and wonderment in the minds of all hearers. Not to have seen him is to have missed seeing probably the greatest musical curiosity of the age. Dally Weather Bulletin.
