Yellow fever at Barbadoes is disappearing." Xhe death sentence of Squire Clark, colored, to be hung yesterday at Lexing ton C, for murder, was commuted to life imprisonment. Chief Bon Anie ns has proclaimed a holy war against the French iu Tunis, and troops sent by the Emperor of Morocco to capture him have joined his forces. Wm. Howard, an Atlanta postoffice clerk, has been arrested for robbing the mails; he was caught with a decoy letter. A steamer of the Charleston and Santee line was burned in Charleston harbor yesterday, with a cargo of cotton and naval stores; lass on cargo $40,000, and uninsured. New York markets: Money 64 per cent. ; cotton dull at 1212 3-16c; southern flour dull and heavy at $5 6o8 00; wheat unsettled, closinj strong at a shade over yesterday's prices, ungraded red $1 21&&1 42; corn higher, closing strong, ungraded 67&70c; rosin firm and higher at $2 30; spirits tur pentine dull at 55ic. There are now over thirty-nine vessels in port over sixty tons bur den, exclusive of river steamers. Some of those cards dealt by Keit'er had been marked by me Old Simon Magtis Cameron. Alas! alas! the death-rattle insu rance companies a-ro ffrcr Oniieau and want to insure his life. The Methodists in New York are abont to erect a $225,000 church hnildincr near Madison Avenue. President Arthur will not run a temperance term. He is fitting up his cellars with a great variety liquors and in large quantities. of General G. T. Beauregard says Mr. Davis handed him $27 at Greensboro and it was distributed among some men. He knew of no other money. The tobacco erop of Connecticut for 1S31 is of almost unprecedented excellence. The supply of Havana cigars next year will be unusually large. Do yon see? A general stock law passed the South Carolina Legislature. After October, 1882, all cattle must be fenced in everywhere and no fences for crops will be required. The Cincinnati Gazette say it costs $25,000 to collect the eustoms at that place, and the total receipts arc not enough to meet the expenses. What a glorious country! The President spends his Christ mas holidays in New York, and he has caused it to be announced that he will transact no business, and be accessible to no office-seekers. That is right. The Philadelphia Press has started a very malicious slander against ex President Davis. Gen. .To Johnston washes his hands of the lying docu ment. The Press ought to be ashamed of itself. of tho Star p?nt rrnpcutions: 1 he vui I Government will be ready about January 20, for active operations. Dorsey will be overhauled first. Good. In tho.

X W 4-1 We take a peculiar interest in pub lishing the following-paragraph con cerning Jefferson Davis because it confirms-our impressions of the scru pulous honor of a man to whom might be entrusted the riches of India when Clive contented himself with a few hundred thousands. When that hero was accused of robbing India, he said that when he remembered the im mense riches that were around him that he was amazed at his Own for bearance and modesty. Mr. Davis would not have touched a dollar for his right hand, infamous Northern slanderers to the contrary. The Charleston News and Courier says: "Mr. Davis carried his scruples in money affairs to an extreme, and refused, it will be remembered, to accept the mansion which the citizens of Richmond, during the war, bought and presented to him. Had he had millions at his command and had he been willing to touch the funds of the Con federacy, he would not have been, as he was, absolutely without the means of pro viding for his family when the evacuation of Richmond was determined on. We know it to be a fact that Mr. Davis bor rowed a few hundred dollars from one ,of the members of the Cabinet, on the eve of leaving the Confederate capital, to save those dependent on him from suffering du ring the retreat." Rossi played Jear in Charleston. The News and Courier pronounced Hamlet of unexampled excellence. It says of his Xear : "The audience who beheld the Lear of Signor Rossi last evening felt that they had seen a piece of tragic acting at once the grandest and most finished that the boards of the Academy had ever known. But a very pleasant surprise awaited the audience in the last scene of the fourth act, where Lear rises from the couch on which he has been sleeping, to meet and wonder at and finally recognize Cordelia. This was the occasion chosen by Signor Rossi (for the first time, as we are informed, in his dramatic career) to venture upon the exper iment of rendering his lines in English. It is true that at this point his words are few ; but they were uttered with a clearness and feeling which were not in the least marred by his slight Italian accent." Henry Watterson has been to Washington and looked on the Gui teau trial. He says in his paper, the Louisville Courier-Journal, that "it is impossible for anybody to see this exhibition jand come away without being satisfied that, morally, legally, intellectually and sentimentally, Gui teau deserves to be bangea, ti ii meet no other fate." Now let the jury come to the same conclusion and quickly, and let the world be re lieved of one unmitigated scoundrel. Keifer kept his contract with Don Cameron. He has delivered the goods. Pennsylvania got the lion's share on he committees. It has seven chairmanships. The Half Breeds are furious. A Washington special to the Charleston News and Courier says: 'The Elections and War Claims com- mitiees, as predicted, have been carefully 11 nossible hostility to the I South. There is an evident combination of Keifer and bis masters to attempt to un seat every Southern Democrat whose seat is contested and either seat his defeated op ponent or declare the seat vacant. Events will justify this prediction." The President is praised all around for his appointment of Judge Gray, but don't he catch it for digging up Howe and trying to make him fill Mr. Jameses position. The' New York Tribune says: "Mr. Howe is a simple-minded, sincere, Tkolitician. of the most vehement f!nnklinr and anti-Garfield type, with not a whit more training or fitness for the Post- office Department than he has for War or the Navy." The following we copy from the Charlotte Observer of the 23d : Washington, D. C. Dec. 21, 1881. -T3rTroo onfpr David A. Jenkins, of JNortn Carolina, was robbed here yesterday at cards out of $5,000 in checks by bunco men. He telegraphed to Raleigh to have payment of the checks stopped. The men escaped arrest.

Mrs. Matthews - was a de- fi(1(nlant from onft of the oldest fami- lies of the original bcotch settlers m this section, and was lovea ana es teemed by all who knew her.

Spirits Turpentine. Raleigh Visitor: The negro man Addison TJtley who made the murder ous assault upon "Mr. Holder' at Alford's mill last Monday afternoon has made his escape and is now at large. Laurinburg Enterprise: A little negro boy, using' ignorantly a loaded pistol for a pipe, had his tongue severely lacerated by the discharge of the piece a few days ago in this town. Thepistol contained only powder and wadding. Newton Enterprise: The case of the State vs. Dockery and others, for the murder of Miss Thompson, of Alexander, last spring, has been removed from Tay lors ville to Newton, and will be tried at the next term of our Superior Court. Hickory Press: Rev. G. F. Round has accepted the presidency of Da venport Female College. We congratulate the trustees on securing one so eminently qualified for the position. Mr. Round is a graduate of Wofford College, 8. C. ' Goldsboro Messenger: Henry G. Williams, Esq., was too strong a Democrat to be retained by Parson Brownlow's nephew in the assistant superintendency of the House document room. On the crea tion of Gen. Ransom's select committee on the Potomac river's front Mr. Williams was tendered the clerkship thereof. Concord Sun: By a runaway accident last Sunday, a young man and lady were thrown from a buggy and the young lady was quite seriously injured, having an arm broken. The Hornet's Nest Riflemen are making preparations for a grand military fair, in Charlotte, -to com mence on the 20th of next February and continue one week. The prime object is to raise money to build and equip an armory for the Hornets, and the next object is to give a real good time to the citizens and to the military of the State. The State Guard will go into encampment, the Charlotte company to furnish tents, etc. Winston Leader : Commissioner Raum reports 586,514 gallons of corn whis key made in North Carolina during the year ending June 30th, 1881; 148,422 gallons-set down for the fifth district. We learn from Commissioner Raum's report that the number of hogs fed at the distilleries in this district foot up 8,528, and their average weight .is 179.66. In the entire State the number is 6,958. Other cattle number 157 with an average weight of 365.00. When mad and about to act the fool, stop and count eleven ; if very mad count twelve ; if madder yet than very, count seventeen. By this time you will perceive that you are a fool. Greenville Express : Hurrah for Pitt ! At the Tarboro Fair she had a bale of cotton, raised by Dr. P. H. Mayo, of Falkland, which was worth more than any other out of the thirty bales on exhibition. The idea of Pitt's beating Edgecombe. There is a regular organized band of negro robbers and swindlers in and around Green ville, who are always on the alert for the unwary countrymen. It seems strange that none of them can be identified or known by their victims. Mr. John Phillips, of Farm ville township, was robbed in broad day light one day last week of $30. just out- io n? the town limits bevond the old toll house. Durham Plant: Robert G. Russell, of South Lowell, accidently kiUed a fine horse with a rock on Fiiday last. The horse was worth, and would have sold any day for $400. The horse attempted to pass him and he threw a small rock to stop him. It struck at a tender point and broke his skull. A daring robbery was com mitted at Morrisville on the night of the 13th of December. The front door of J. M. Pugh's store was opened by crushing the lock and the store robbed of $300 worth of goods and $20 of mutilated coin. Our correspondent writes that as yet no definite clue to the robbers has been ob- tained. Asheboro Courier: The build in o-nt. Atlanta in which our State exhibit iamade is divided with Alabama, and the win or in which the Richmond & Danville Railway Company has made a display ot m,r resources is separate and some distance fmm thp. Stnte'a disnlav. This was an un fortunate arrangement. If North Carolina could have had a building entirely to her oaIt thp disnlav would have been better. and would have attracted a larger share of attention and study. Our disappointment was not so much in the amount of variety of material, but in the arrangement. Three deatns at rraiiKimsvme m iuc u three months, and all on tne same aay oi month Mr Russell died Oct. 12th, Mr. Trogden Nov. 12th, and Mrs. Arnold Dec. 12th. A singular comciuence.
