The grand jury found true bills against tiit Malley boys and Blanche Douglass for tin' murder of Jennie Cramer at New Haven, Conn., in August last. The Ashland (Ky.) murderers were arraigned at C'Mtlettsburg yesterday and the jury was impanelled and sworn. The river at Xashville continues to rise; nearly six hup- ilred families have been driven from their homes. Cincinnati had a $175,000 tire Monday night.

Signer Rossi called upon the Presi dent when in Washington last week. The Washington Post is a good paper better as a news purveyor now than ever before. The Edgefield people, in South Carolina, take a cheerful view of the negro exodus, and they seem to think it is all for the best. A correspondent of the Philadel phia Times accuses Bob Ingersoll of "wretched plagiarism" in his last psalm of despair over the dead child in Washington. The New York World is trying to rind out if Gen. Grant ever received the $-,00t) raised by voluntary sub scription for his benefit. There serins to he some donbt about this. That immense Georgian reformer, Senator, Brown, favors a bill to give each Senator a secretary at a salary of j-j.ooo. lie ought also to favor a bat her and boot-black for each Sen ator at a salary of $600. This is a great country and Brown is a regular trump. Ah ! Mr. John S. Swann, of Kanawha county, West Virginia, has written an article for the leading Re publican paper in that State advo eating the total repudiation of the debt of the t wo Virginias. The seeds sown by Mahone and Arthur will .be sure to bear fruit in the future. We find the following definition of Stalwart in the Richmond Di p'ltcf,, copied from a work entitled "Words, Facts and Phrases:" 'Stalwart. This word has a curious ori gin : iwcomes from the Anglo-Saxon stealen, to steal, and its original form vrasstalieorth, that which is worth stealing.' "No wonder the Star Route thieves are all Stalwarts." - Report comes from New York that Oscar Wilde is in pursuit of Very valnable property in Louisiana that belonged before the war to his uncle, Tudge John Kingsbury Elgee, a brilliant lawyer in his day. The property was worth one million dol lars, but had not alt been paid for. We understood last week that ninety new cases of small-pox were reported in one day in Richmond, This looks like it had become epidemic. At any rate the Legisla ture in session is not easy and a motion to Temove it to Norfolk is to le made. Norfolk is s6 liable to the disease it would be better, it strikes an outsider, to go into the interior. Our editorial on the Catholic bishops did not fare as badly as we feared, but there are two corrections we may make. Near the close of the second paragraph for "beanti3fo thought" read "beautiW thought." It was very plain in copy. We are wade to say in one paragraph on 1'ishop Keane, "what were the prin ciples, power, province, &c." We wrote promises. VOLJIXXIX.--NO. 97J' If a special to the Philadelphia Times can be relied upon some of the disappointed small-beer j. politicians are over the fence following Mahone. I Here it is in part : " Washington. January 15. Within the last few days political developments here in regard to XSorth Carolina point to a dism tegration of the Bourbon Democracy of tnat State. Within the past twenty-four hours Charles Price, former Speaker of the lower house of the Legislature at Kaleigh, and. Colonel William s Johhsoni who made the race ' against 'Vaiice' lnT.863; have an nounced their separation, final and forever, from the Democrats, and their deliberate Surpose-to cooperate in the future with the Republicans of North Carolina, as do Ma hone, Riddleberger and others with the ReDublicans of VirsriBia. In, an interview with the President yesterday vioth C&onel Johnson and Judge Price unreservedly de clared their determination as indicated." Johnson and Price ! J ohnson, old and soared with r : qisappomtmeai ; Price, "Judge" he would like to be, never had anything, in, Jiim in any way, and was rewarded far beyond ' his abilities when he was tnde Speaker of the House1' in our Legis lature. So tJieu are the Mahones. They will not hurt five votes. But here is more of the letter. We give it for what it is worth : "Colonel Polk, Colonel Nat. Atkinson and manv others of the brightest minds of Ihe. State are said to be indaded in the de sertions from the Democrats." Even General J. M. Leach, who headed the Hancock -electoral ticket of North Carolina and who is probably the most eloquent orator of the State, said to a frentleman now nere tuat ne intended to cast his "vote for thciext Presi dent of the United States, and that man, he added, will be a Republican." 'Colonel" Nat one of the "brightest minds," and General Leach ''probably the most eloquent orator in the State." Shades of Demosthenes and Edmund Burke ! But we will see if they are An Eifslishman, Wallis Nash, has written a booi" called '-Two Years in Oregon." We fitid the following in the Philadelphia Press concerning it r "The Oregon newspaper excises his curi ous interest with its column of 'locals' in this style: 'Beautiful weather. New York Sirup at Thompson's. ; The spring plowirc is nearly done. Use the celebrated XL flour, the best in the market Our young friend Pete M- , called on us yesterday; good boy, Pete. Miss Addie Bines is visit ing friends in town." Mr. Nash will find just such paragraphs in papers published much nearer the metropolis of the United States than Oregon." Just so! Just so! We try to be just. Having fol lowed a report in onr exchanges con cerning Dr. Bliss's charge for ser vices in the Garfield case, we must give him the benefit of a denial re ported in the Washington Post. He says he has made no bill nor has he stated any amount dne him. The same can be said of Drs. Agnew and Hamilton. They leave the matter in the hands of the committee in the House of Representatives. No bills from the physicians have teen sent in. Speaker Keifer is unpopular de cidedly. He will not have an easy time as presiding ofiicer of the House. The Richmond State's special of 16th says : . "It is said that the clique who, with Speaker Keifer, are ruling the House, have already selected the men who are to be favored with appointments on these com mittees if the House should allow the in crease. Speaker Keifer has done nothing so far to Temove the prejudice, even among Republicans, created by his cast of com-' mittees, and this adverse feeling is height ened by the belief that he i managed by Robeson, Page, Hazletamand a few others. ' There is an awful scandal in diplo matic circles in Washington. The -Russian Minister, Mr- Bartholemei, has an ugly English wife who is coarse and vulgar. They have been married but one year and have seven children. She boasts that she, hus band and children are, all illegitimate. The papers now speak of theWilde Irishman as that "diot." He is a very absurd fellow at best. Spirits Turpentine. Salem Press . At the collection taken up for foreign 'missions in the Mora vian church on Sunday last, $187,63 was realized.

These pipes are made of iron, and together with the cost Of transportation, cost: a considerable amount of money,, and as the Company are unwilling to go to the great expense of buying new pipes, the work' will be abandoned. : JSdenton Enquirer : We trust, however, this will not be necessary, and nope, tnat Governor J&rviS'.wui not call another extra session, unless it is absolutely necessary.

Lenoir Tonic: Last Saturday a telegram was ' received in ' lenoir stating that Mr. . nios: I.' Lenoir,' of Haywood county, died at his residence, near Waynes ville, on Thursday, the 5th inst. He was a grand-son of Gen. Wm. Lenoir, one of the heroes of King's Mountain. Capt. C. S.

Ample preparation is being made for a big season's work. A number of our farmers are preparing to diversify more largely this year than heretofore. It s the way to success. There is an in creasing demand for dwelling houses in Elizabeth Cit. Washington Press : We were sorry to learn of the accidental shooting of little Dick, son of Mr. D. H. Farrow,, which occurred on the wharf, where he had gone with several boys to practice with a pistol. A premature discharjre took place, the ball entering the shoulder and making a flesh wound. No serious results have followed. We regret to learn of the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. James F. Clark, which took place at the home of Major S. T. Wright, on Maul's Point. Warrenton Gazette : We were down the Wilmington railroad last week as far as the flourishing city of Wilsen. Nearly every train that passed south had from 25 to 100 able bodied negro men on board, going South to work in the sugar and turpentine plantations. One contrac tor told us that he paid men (none but the best are taken) $175 a year and board, and paid their way there and back at the end of the year. From the best information we can get at least 800 able-bodied colored men have left and are preparing to leave Warren county . since the 1st of January. In our opinion it is only a mere question of time when nearly all of them will move South, just as the Indianjhas gone West. The truth is we arc fooling ourselves in stead of the darkey. . Goldsboro Messenger: Another well-known gentleman and honored North Carolinian has gone to his rest. It is our painful duty to announce the death of Dr. C. T. Murphy, of Sampson county, which sad event occurred at his residence in Clin ton on the night of the 8th inst., from can cer, aged about 60 years. Dr. Murphy wa a gentleman of high intelligence and uns blemished character, respected by all who knew him. He had served his county faithfully in the Senate, and was for a long time an active participant in the political affairs of North Carolina. Mr. Louis Sasser, whose serious illness we announced in our last issue, died Thursday morning, aged 79 years., The Grand Lodge of the order of Knights of Pythias for North Carolina will meet in this city the 14th of February next. .

The lecture was delivered in response to the Solicitation of numerous citizens who were anxious to hear the distifiguished prelate on the sub ject named. Bishop Keane ably, discussed the theme he Jhaat! selected and" eloquently and forcibly advocated his views on the question The lecture was; of about an hour and a half s duration, and was most attentively listened to by all present. The speaker won by his splendid effort of last evening still greater faVor with our public, as a brilliant orator and a learned and gifted theologian, and his lecture induced many to accept that.view of the question which he so skilfully and admirably presented.

Considerable excitement was created yes terday morning, about 11 o'clock, by runa way horses. A horse attached to a country cart started on Second street .and came dashing' around the corner of Secondhand Dock, frightening another horse attached to a buggy, near the southwest corner of those two streets, and causing him to at tempt to runaway also, but he was flnaly halted without doing any damage. About this point the wheels were wrenched from rhe country cart, and the horse continued his frantic flight with the body and a por tion of the shafts, turning the corner of Front and Dock streets "and runninjg to a point opposite Nr. Schutte's restaurant, where he broke loose from the cart and was finally brought to a stand still.' Just be fore reaching the intersection of Front and Dock the noise made by the horse and cart frightened Mr. B. H. J. Ahren's horse, also attached to a buggy, and standing in front of his ice house, causing him to runaway and eventually smash the Vehicle, which catastrophe happened nearly in front of Messrs. P. Cumming & Co.'s grain store, just after turning into Water street, where the animal was halted in his mad career. Near the corner of Front and Dock streets several persons narrowly escaped being run over by the demoralized animals. Committed for Trial Heeo very or Stolen Money, &c.

Tlrzah, below this1 city,' for the sum of $55, the same to be . done satisfactorily to the Board of Health, which was approved. The Electro-Mechanical Tower Bell Strik er, as the instrument is called which , is to be attached to the alarm-bell, is said to be a very useful invention; is made in sizes to suit bells weighing from five hundred to five thousand pounds, and is in use at over one hundred stations in the United States ser vice for striking fog bells on the Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts. Its introduction here will doubtless prove of great benefit to the Fire Department, in giving a prompt and general alarm in cases of fire. We un derstand that work upon the tower will be commenced at once. The Uncertainty or Life. Never was the uncertainty of life calcu lated to be more thoroughly impressed upon the mind than in the case of the late B. F.

We learn that as a lady of this city was about entering the gate to her residence, a few nights since, she was suddenly seized by the throat by a burly colored individual, who had approached her unawares, and choked with one hand while he felt her pockets with the other, with the view of taking whatever money she might have about her. Fortunately, the lady had left her valuables at home, and the disappoint ed miscreant finally released her and went on his way. There are a number of strange characters here, both white and colored, who, we hope, will be sharply looked after by the police. Stealing Copper. A colored boy, named Castle Lawrence, was arrested yesterday afternoon for steal ing a quantity of copper from the distillery of A. H.
