He has been a pronounced Demo crat quite extreme in his views, and was the Confederate officer who hunted deser ters in this and Randolph counties during theSate war, and whose men took Bill Owen (a Randolph county deserter) out of the jail at this place and shot him to death without any trial whatsoever. Fayetteville Examiner: Bishop Lyman arrived in this place last Saturday, and preached at St. Joseph's on that day, and on Sunday morning at Rockfish. A colored man by the name of William Marsh, in the employment of the C. F. & Y. V. Railway, was badly injured on Tues day last near Little River. He was at work on the track at that point, and went be tween an engine and a gravel car for the purpose of coupling them, when he was caught and severely mashed. Mr. Cross Davis, of this place, has completed a boat 10 feet long and 4 feet 5 inches in length, and of 2 tons burden. She is called the Lily McFadyen, and is intended for navigating the waters of the lower Little River between McFadyen's Springs and the C. F. & Y. V. Railway. She will carry passengers and freight and make regular trips to the springs. Raleigh News- Observer: Col. Folk is a burden to the ticket, rather than a help. The Republicans have gone far and fared badly. But it suits us if it suits them. The attempt of the Republicans to play Mahone's game without a Mahone, and without any Democratic following, is one of the oddities of the day. Old Col. Forney used to speak of "My two papers, both daily;" but Dr. Mott is a luckier man; he can pat himself on the breast and say, "My two parties, both weakly." The Republican Convention . yesterday was about the same as usual. We have seen the same men meet here before and pass reso lutions and denounce Democrats, and pro phesy success, and all that. Mr. Jehu Davis, not unknown to fame, was present at roll call on yesterday.

Work on the new steam dredge, now in course of construction at the steam saw mill of Mr. J. W. Taylor, and intended for use in dredging the Cape Fear river from the neighborhood of Smithville to this port, is now progressing in earnest, and it is thought she will be ready for use in about three months. The work is being done under the supervision of Mr. H. S. Dun ning, a gentleman who thoroughly under stands his business. The new dredge is to be 90 feet long, 36 feet wide, and 9 feet deep, and her motive power will consist of two 16 by 24 and two 6 by 12 engines, with a boiler 7 ieet in diameter and 20 feet long, and a four or five yard bucket. The new dredge, when completed, will be third on the river, the other two, the Orisfield and the E. V. WJdte, not being as large as the one now building, the E. V. White being 85 feet long, 32 feet wide and 9 feet deep, with two 11 by 18 and two 26 by 12 engines, and the Crisfield 70 feet long, 28 feet wide and 7 feet deep, with two 13 by 13 and four 6 by 12 engines, and a four yard buck et, the latter having more power than the E. V. White. When the dredge is completed a large scow will be built, to be 90 feet long, 24 feet wide and 9 feet deep, with a capacity of 250 yards, to be used in connection with the dredge. The dredge is being constructed of very substantial material. Tne FIsliing Excursion Yesterday. The fishing excursion on the steamer Passport yesterday was a decided success. About eighty persons went to make up the merry crowd, two of whom stopped at Or ton, quite a number at the rocks at New Inlet, and the remainder went out to the Blackfish grounds. On the way out about twenty-five succumbed to the pressure and went into hospital, some of whom never sufficiently recovered to bait their hook. They didnt enjoy the trip worth a cent. Others recovered sufficiently to participate in the sport, and great sport they had, all coming back with as many fine fish as they could conveniently get home with. Even the two at Orton had extraordinary luck, taking between them about one hnndred and seventy-five fish. It was a fine day for the sport, and all but a very few enjoyed it. The Weather and the Crops. We hear of a planter in Bladen county who lost his entire cotton crop from the ef fects of the cool weather, and has replaced it with corn. In other localities the cotton has been badly stunted and is so small on account of the cool and dry weather com bined that it is almost impossible to plow it. A friend who has been traveling re cently through some of the adjoining coun ties, says he has never known so much corn and potatoes to be planted in any one season before since the war. It is likely, therefore, that we shall have enough to eat, if nothing to wear. A Chance for Base Ball Clans. One of our leading mercantile firms offers to give a prize, consisting of a uniform of nine fine shirts and nine hats, to be award ed to the successful nine of any permanent club of this city in a match game of base ball. This is intended as an incentive to the organization of two or more first-class prominent base ball clubs in this city, and will very likely have the desired effect. Magistrates Court.

Genuine prepared oniy oy & Co. T DEMOCBA TIC EXEC UT1 VE COMMITTEE. Ifleetlnsr of the County Democratic Executive Committee Resignation of F. 0. Darby, Esq. Sis Resigna tlon Accepted. At an adjourned meeting of the County Democratic Executive Committee, held yes terday evening, Chairman F. H. Darby tendered his resignation, which was in terms as follows; Gentlemen of the Democratic County Execu five Committee of Neio Hanover County: It is especially due to you my friends and associates on this- committee, with whom I have been, with great pleasure to myself, and I am surwith entire confidence and frankness on the part of us all, associated in official position in the Democratic party, that whatever action I should take, or reply I should make personally, in regard to the rumored nomination of myself (for I have received nothing official or authoritative) for the position of J udge of this Judicial District, should first be made to you. This I conceive as a matter of propriety is due to you, and this I must confess I cheerfully and willingly concede; even tnose wno have been the opponents of our committee in the Democratic party, must acknowledge that we have been faithful, energetic and aggressive, and nave striven Dy every means in our power, consistent with the laws of our country, and with the personal integrity of each of us, to advance the out posts of our party as far as possible in the enemy's lines, never allowing ourselves to compromise or besmirk Democratic prin ciples by the employment of any means for their advancement which would not be proper when applied for the advancement of our personal ends with our fellow men. All the more reason, therefore, why frank ness should characterize this communica tion in order that the honorable record our committee has made, as well as that the high personal and political integrity of the gentlemen, as a result or wnose canvass we were placed in our present position, should not be questioned even by inference either by my silence or my want of frankness in this matter. First, then, utterly to my surprise, I was some days ago informed by a gentleman, a mend of mine, mat l was aoout to oe no minated by the Liberal Convention as their candidate for Judge of this J udicial Dis trict. I promptlvauthorized the Star and Review to say that I would not accept the nomination. Since then I have been relia bly informed that that nomination has been indorsed by the Republican State Conven tion, and that a resolution was thereby adopted endorsing me as a life-long Demo crat, requiring no sacrifice of my well- known Democratic principles, but reciting that the position of Judge being entirely non-partizan, they had confidence in my fairness and ability, believing that if elect ed I would be a Judge without regard to party. Certainly not even the most cap tious could say that I have said or done anything that bears the faintest impress of compromising or giving up any principle in any connection I have with this matter. In answer, therefore, to the question, as to whether or not I would serve in such po sition, if elected, I answer unhesitatingly that, if elected on such a platform, my de termination, (the result of my own delibe rate conviction, unchanged and unchange able), is that I will take the oath of office, and serve to the best of my ability, with mauv misgivings as to my capability aud experience for filling the high and honora ble office, but with absolutely no hesitation as to it being my duty to serve as a Judge above and irrespective of party, and 1 would sooner be defeated than say that I would not run if elected under such cir cumstances. It would not be creditable to any member of a community or State, in my opinion, where the obligation to per form a public duty is a part of the alle giance that the citizen owes to the govern ment, when a call to perform a public duty is made, unsolicited and unsought, and comes, if it should come, without the slightest compromise of honor or principle, to say in advance that he-would not per form such public duty. Asrain. if I am correctly informed, the platform of the convention above referred to lays down this clause "a free ballot and a fair count" as one of its principles. I certainly should be derelict to all the ideas I have heretofore entertained or expect to entertain of popular government, if I should hesitate to say I am in complete accord with that principle. The right of suffrage is a fundamental aud necessary principle of our government. It has been purchased at the cost of millions of money and of the blood of the fathers of the Republic, and has been a Democratic principle. The right of suffrage, unless free, with a count of unauestioned inteeritv.is simply a direct contravention and denial of a fundamental principle. To make a popular government the ballot must be free and the count fair; otherwise the government which is the re sult of that ballot will be the government of force and fraud. Again, another principle of the platform is opposition to the county government. I am and have been, as is by many well known, opposed to county government. It is in direct and positive eontravention of a cardinal principle of popular govern ment, that is "local self government," which has always been one of the leading principles of the Democratic party. To takp the election of county officials away from the people and put it in the hands of the Legislature is consulting expediency, not being guided by principle. Such action on the part of our party justifies the other extreme by the other party, when in power, which will end in a surrender of principle on both sides, and cause expediency to be taken altogether as a guide, eventually lead ing opposing factions to break down prin ciples that are the bulwarks of liberty, and bringing us gradually to the disruption oi popular government. There seems to me no difference in principle between knock ing a man in the head because he can't be controlled and annihilating a majority be cause it can't be controlled. There may be abuses under the old system that do not exist under the county government, but that is no reason why a grand principle should be surrendered. Then, gentlemen, to put this matter en tirely at rest, reiterating my allegiance to the general Democratic principles, I consid er it my duty, holding the views that I do, the result of deliberate reflection and of my ideas of the general principles of popular government, to say that, while accepting no nomination, if I am elected, and so far as this determination is concerned I care not whether I am or not, that I will serve to the best of my ability. I will ask that my re signation as Chairman and member of this Committee be accepted. Respectfully, with kind regards to eacu of you individually and collectively, F. JJ. UARBY. On motion the resignation of Mr. Darby was unanimously accepted. The Committee then arranged a call for a Democratic County Convention, which will be found elsewhere. JUNE 17, 1882. OUR FIRE ALARMS. What Our Firemen Think of the Pres ent System of Alarms. It has been pretty generally known for some time that our firemen were far from being pleased with the present system of fire-alarms, which they argued was having a very deleterious effect upon the efficiency of the Department, and finally their dis satisfaction culminated in a meeting of offi cers and others interested in the matter, and the following comprise the proceedings of said meeting and the views of the De partment in relation to the system of alarms, the remedy to be applied, etc. : At a meeting of the officers of the fol lowing named Fire Companies, the Howard Relief, Hook and Ladder, and Wilmington Steam Fire Engine Company, No. 1, held Wednesday evening last, at the Hall of the latter Company, Mr. H. Hintz presiding, and Mr. James W, Monroe acting as Secretary, the following resolutions were adopted : Resolved, That the p reseat fire alarm is insufficient and badly managed, inasmuch as the alarm bell in the tower cannot be heard a sufficient distance, either day or night, under the present system of ringing, and the other bells in the city with the alarm attached are never rung. Resolved, That we do not oppose the Electric Alarm if it can be perfected and the sound made sufficiently clear and pene trating. But so far we consider the old style of alarm vastly superior to the present, as formerly the general ringing of bells aroused all or nearly all of the firemen. and now it is impossible to get enough members out to handle the apparatus. liesolved, That we request that the police be instructed, in the event of a fire, to ring tne alarm attached to tne following bells, viz: at the First Presbyterian, church, cor ner Third and Orange streets; at the Con gregational church, on Nun. between Sixth and seventh streets; at the fwulroad Pas senger Depot, Front street ; at the Brooklyn Engine House, on Brunswick, between Sixth and Seventh streets; and that the police be held strictly responsible for any failure to sound the alarms situated on their respective beats. liesolved, That our experience during our term of service (from five to twelve years) nas been that the quick ringing of the bell is much more apt to arouse sleeping mem bers of the Department than a slow, regu lar stroke. Resolved, That you are respectfully re quested to give the matter your immediate attention, as the present svstem of alarm will dTeatlv imnair the efflcienrv of th r ire department, and in case of a nre of any magnitude, under such a system, we cannot hold ourselves responsible to any degree for the result. liesolved, That the Secretary be instructed to forward a copy of these resolutions to His Honor, Mayor Smith; also to the Morning Star and Daily Review, with a request to publish.

A colored convict by the name of Levi Walker, sentenced at the late term of the Criminal Codrt to two years confinement in the County House of Correction for false pretense, made his escape from that institution a few days since, and is still at large. It appears that Superintendent Savage took five of the prisoners out to do some work, placing two of them under a reliable guard, armed with a six shooter, with instructions to do some ditching, and taking the other three with him to another part of the premises. Pretty soon Walker made some excuse to get from under the immediate eye of the guard for a moment, and the next instant he was flying through the thick undergrowth with almost the s$eed of anantelope, completely baffling the efforts of the guard to halt him or shoot him. The latter soon afterwards re ported the escape to Superintendent Savage, who immediately took all the necessary steps to insure his capture, himself remain ing out during the entire preceding night engaged in searching for the fugitive. The last trace of him was lost at Little Bridge, where he was reported as crossing in the greatest hurry on the fallen timbers coming in the direction of the city. Superintendent Savage offers a reward of $10 for the capture and confinement of the fugitive in some safe place where he can get him. For Smithville. The steamer Passport, commencing with this evening, will make regular trips to Smitlfville Saturday afternoons, leaving at 6 o'clock and returning early Mnday morning. This will give all business men a fine opportunity to visit Smithville Sun days without loss of time, and Capt. Perry will take good care of them at the Hotel Brunswick which is now open and ready for guests. RIVER AND MARINE. The pilot boat Uriah Tvmmons, Capt. Mouse, is here with the view of going on Capt. Skinner's ways for some slight re pairs. The Timmons is a model pilot boat. Steamboatmen report the river as get: ting so low that the boats frequently scrape the bottom, and soon, without rain in the proper quarter, navigation will be seriously interfered with. Democratic Convention Third J udi cial District. The Democratic Convention of the Third Judicial District will meet in the town of Magnolia on Tuesday, the 27th day of June next, to nominate candidates for Judge and Solicitor. The county con ventions in the several counties of the Dis trict will please attend to the election of delegates accordingly. By direction of the Executive Committee, DuBrutz Cutlar, Chairman.

The greater part of the entertainment was dev ted to the performances of the pupils anduheir different renditions, vocal and in strumental, well displayed their proficiency an? showed the careful and competent in struction they hail received. Many of the performers werejceedingly youthful and yet. teemed thoroughly at ease and acquit ted themselves mpst creditably.
