The new assessment of" real and ' personal property in North Carolina gives the total at 2i)o,:.5 1,745 -an increase of 32,73S,6s9. These are vthe figures of the Raleigh Xeics Observer. This is gratifying, but a, there is room for growth. 1 he failures of 1883, according to fir ulitreefs, foot up 10,187, agSnst 7,374 for 18S2, 5,929 for 1881, and 4,350 m 1380.

The Philadelphia Tints was un mannerly enough to insult Speaker Carlisle upon his accepting the invi tation to a reception to be given by the Common wealth Club of that Protection city. It 83ys he will come to assure the Club that he will "abandon the great principle held by the men who elected him." Now such an unwarranted insinuation as that could only originate with a Philadelphia paper and -of tho Pro tection stripe. The Washington Post Bays the report is untrue, and the Times "knew it to be untrue when it made it." It says there will be no "abandonment of Ills political purposes," and adds: "The Speaker is not a Free Trader, but he thoroughly believes in Revenue Re form, and he can only agreo with Mr. Randall and the Pennsylvania Protection ists when they change their minds and agree with him. As for the Times, we think some of its older contemporaries in Philadelphia should make it a business to take it in hand." There are 38 States. Of tb ese the Democrat in but 4 States are known tojFavor the abolition of internal tax ation. The Stab is with the party in 34 States. Those papers that in sist upon 34 States yrciQing to the policy of 4 States are doing a thou sand times more to injure tho Demo cratic party than are those papers that are for taxing luxuries and re lieving necessaries. The papers the leading papers of the party in nearly all the States are for retain ing thtax on luxuries. North Ccro lina is fr more interested in retain ing this tax than in giving the "moonshiners" a full swing. The people are new heavily taxed on the necessaries olife. The Stak favors relieving them as far as possible. The Stab is fo a Government of the people, and by iho people, and .or the poople. We find the following in an ex change beyond the State. We sup pose it originated with some State paper but we do not know which one: The Supreme Court of North Carolina has decided that municipal ordinances must be subordinate to and harmonize with the general law of the Statu, unless special powers are conferred upon the toWB by its K(irtr anrl that tKK rvr In tSji ftrSwnw I of special authority over the subject an or dinance prohibiting the sale at liquor with in the corporate limits of a towa is void, the general laws allowing whiskey, to be re tailed upon obtaining license.' , Here are some veraes that are ap propriate for January 1, 1834: "Familiar faces make way for the strange, And the old gives place to the lew. But faith in the future is firm through change. As dreams of the past are tfue Then a toast for the year that is coming fast. May his days be merry and long!

Asheboro Courier: The Worth Manufacturing Company has now in ope ration twenty new bag looms with a capa city of 1,000 yards per day. Louisburg Times: Our town can boast of a new enterprise. It is a "Shuttle Block Factory," by J. F. Jones & Son. Much revenue will be added to the pockets of those who own dogwood and persimmon timber by this new enterprise. A Bloomington, Illinois, special to the Chicago Tribune says: "Hon. Whar ton J. Green, with two daughters, is spend ing the holidays with Senstor David Davki and family. Mr. Green is a member of CongreM from North Carolina, and Is n relative of Mrs. Davis."

Pittsboro Record; The stock law election, to be held here on the 5th of January, is of much importance to the citi zens of this community, and we hope the, question to be voted upon win receive the consideration that its importance imoch deserves. New Berne Journal; We have received a letter from Mr. D. N. Faroe A, an Onslow boy, now in the signal service of the Government, at Fort Stanton, New Mexico. He says, in all his travels over the continent, be has seen no land in which he bad rather work out his destiny than in the Old North State. He further says, "tell the boys of North Carolina to stay at home." A serious homicide occurred on Christmas day, six miles from town. The following are the facts: One Swarner and one Hassell had a difficulty in the morning about "shooting the mark." In the afternoon, while Hassell and a friend were shooting birds in F. P. Hodges's field, Swarner, his brother and one Blade Woolard passed down the public road, and as iay were opposite iia&ssell they invtted him to come out of the field as they wished to give him what he needed.

Suits were brought against the railroad au thorities for damages. The cases were fin ally referred to Hon. W. T. Dortch, CoL Wal ter Clark and C SL Busbee, sq., as referees. A conclusion was reached yes terday, and the following are the amount or damages awarded: George a. liatter.

Charlotte Observer: Next Tues day the -Polk Rifles will hold a fair and festival at Pineville, and the Hornets' Nest Riflemen of this city have accepted an in vitation to attend. it was Jar. iieno s son, and not the old man himself, who was the unfortunate sufferer from the fall from the Pee Dee trestle. .. He is slowly impro ving. Since the first of last Novem ber groups of men, women and children could be seen almost dally at the depot in this city waiting for the train to carry tbem off for homes in Texas. Ten percent, of the emigrants were from Rowan county, but large numbers went from Cabarrus, Iredell, Union, Mecklenburg and Anson counties. During. the past two months these counties have sent fully two hun dred and fifty emigrants to Texas. Mr. John R. Hall, of Philadelphia, the purchaser of the Lineberger cotton facto ries in Gaston county, has moved with his family to Charlotte to- live. Mr. Hall has Eurchascd the elegant old home of Gen. . H. Hill, on Tryon street. We re gret to learn that Col. Winslow Alexander, uncle to Sheriff Alexander, and one of the oldest and most highly esteemed citizens of Charlotte, received a stroke of paralysis yesterday, and is not expected to recover. There have been quite a number of Christmas trees in the city this week. The first was given Christmas night by the Lutheran Sunday school, and among the notable presents on the tree was a fine-gold watch presented to the pastor. Rev. T. 8. Brown, by so mo - bia friends. We understand that on January 1st Mr. J. J. Tompkins will give up his lease on the Charlotte Hotel, and that CapL F. A. Mc Ninch, the only man who has ever joined popularity and success as landlord f the old Charlotte, will take charge again. Seven young men who enlisted in the Uni ted States army through the recruiting of fice in this city were last night shipped to' Fort Monroe. CapL V. E. McBe in forms us that it was a mistake about the collision on the Western North Carolina Railroad, and that Capt. C. H. Edwards is alive, unhurt and well and going about sis business as usual. We got oar news f rem railroad men and supposed it good author!-, j ty. Raleigh Netcs- Observer: Mr. M. Kelly, better known to the world as "Cof fee," has invented an anti-burglar window lock which is declared by persons conver sant with such thintrs to be of much merit. Kelly is quite a genius. Next Wed nesday a habeas corpus case will be heard before Judge Phillips, at chambers, in this city, ta see whether a convict by the name of Keenan, from Edgecombe county, is en titled to a residence at the penitentiary. The Pasquotank Rifles, of Elizabeth City, Capt. Julian E. Wood commanding, and the Washington light Infantry, of Washington, Capt. Charles F. Warren commanding, have both been armed with calibre 45 rifles. The receipts of cot ton here for the week ending last Thurs day were 530 bales, against 427 for the cor responding week last year. The total re ceipts from September 1st to Thursday were 27,608 bales,, against 35,533 to the same date last year. Attorney General Kenan is making a collection of portraits of his predecessors in that office. We no tice on the walls likenesses of Hutchings G. Burton, who held the office in 1810; Robert H. Jones, 1828; Romulus M. Saun ders. 1834; Bartholomew F. Moore, 1848; Joseph B. Batchelor, 1855; William H. Bailey. 1858; William A. Jenkins. 1862. What we did say is this: Wo have obtained a considerable portion of these figures direct from the counties and now in advance of the Auditor' report present them to our readers. The total valuation foots, up the handsome sum of $200,351,745. In other words, having been at considerable worry and bother and some expense to get up this information, we stated in effect that a considerable portion of the returns did not come from the Auditor's office. Major W. L. Young, of Pender coun ty, well known for his devotion to the de velopment of his section, laid on our table yesterday a specimen of the. wild olive: which he plucked in render, in tun iruu It is but another evidence of the semi-tropi- caP character of the lower Cape Fear frowth.

The man turned Out to be Baxter Gunter. the son of Mrs. Olive Gunter. the same per son who made the terrible discovery of the murder. He Is the father of the htue gin. To-day he was examined by the coroner and proved his innocence . 01 tne crime. Rumors were current of his guilt, and that he had committed the . crime to obtain aroperty, to which in case of the death of the three members of his family he would faH heir. But these are all false, as has bees most clearly found. Mr. Gunter is well nbzh distracted with ' erief. 80 the search for a clue goes on.HThe people are usin every effort to find one.

There is an unmailable letter in the postofflce addressed: Robert Rome, care of S. F. R. R. Co. Mr. R. J. Scarborough received intelligence yesterday of the death of a younger brother in Maryland. The weather was pleasant and springlike on Sunday, and as a consequence the churches were well attended. Good-bye to the Old Year; we shall never see it more; it was an old friend and dear, but we now have "eighty-four." The weather was warm,cloudy, foggy and threatening, yesterday, and du ring the afternoon it commenced raining. A select family party went to Orton yesterday morning on the steamer Win. Nyce. Several ladies were" of the party. We regret very much to learn that the condition of Mr. L. B. Huggins is considered critical. He is suffering from pneumonia. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the First National Bank of Wilmington will be held on Tuesday next, the 8th inst. The usual Schedule B notice is to be found in this issue, notifying those interested that they must pay the tax during the first ten days of this month. The leaving out of several words destroyed the sense of a portion of the article in. relation to colored fraud which appeared in Sunday's paper. , Commencing with next Sunday night, Rev. Dr. Pritchard, of the Baptist church, will preach a series of sermons de signed especially for the young men. Wilmington was enwrapped in one pf the heaviest fogs, yesterday morn ing, that was ever experienced in this lati tude. It was difficult to distinguish an object across the street. The fruit vessels of Messrs. Cronly & Morris, opposite the Custom House, and Mr. J. R. Turrentine, foot of Dock street, have attracted large crowds during the past week or so. The Produce Exchange was closed yesterday and there was very little business doing on the wharf. To-day the Exchange will remain closed and business will be very generally suspended. Mr.Jas. B. Huggins and Capt. F. G. Robiason have, formed a copartner ship under pie firm name of Jas. B.

Though lastjevening was dark and rainy, still a more than average audience assem bled at the Opera House to see the Alice Oates Company Jn the "Field of the Cloth of Gold. " The play is a burlesque, and succeeds well in accomplishing its object L e., a most hearty laoglfy r The performance passed off most j)leas antlynd the audience generally attested their appreciation by frequent demonstra tions of delight. Miss Alice'Oates assumed the principal character, and she seems to have lost none of her freshness and vigor. She was encored repeatedly and made a pleasing impression on her audience. The support by the company is good and some of the members especially deserve notice. ; Tonight, "Conrad the Corsair" will be presented., ,- .., , - This opubw extrv!Ma wfeich-- baa been "specially written and arranged for' Miss Alice- Oates, is founded on Lord Byron's celebrated poem of "The Corsair." The mbtif of the story is the love of Conrad for a Circassian slave, who is purchased for the Saltan and rescued by the Corsair, and eventually Conrad becomes her slave 9 connubially. The musical numbers are very catching, and among other gems Miss Oates introduces HattonVGood-bye Sweetheart," one of Narrigan and Nast'a pot pourris, and a popular medley. These, with the operatic c7iefd'ceuvre8 with which the piece abounds, make it the most enjoyable opera in her re pertoire. The scene is laid in the East, and gives full scope for magnificent costuming. The libretto is also bright and sparkling, and abounds with local, topical and politi cal hits, making it altogether a most apt and fitting bill of fare for the festive season of the new year, Awarding tne Prize. The beautiful doll that has ornamented Mr. P. Heinsberger's front window during the past three weeks is now the property of The Young People's Association, Mr Henry F. Otten, Secretary. Yesterday afternoon, at Mr. P. Heins berger's Live Book and Music store, a com mittee of five persons, consisting of Col. J. W. Atkinson, Mr. H. C. VonGlahn, Mrs. J. J. Hedrick, and Mrs. N. D. Yincent, de cided the ownership of the doll ty placing tickets containing duplicate numbers of all the checks that were given away into a glass jar and having a little girl to draw therefrom a ticket, the first number drawn being the number to decide the ownership of the doll. The number drawn was 169, which number was held by Mr. Henry F. Otten, Secretary Y. P. A, who was en titled to five chances by purchasing $10 worth of Gospel Hymns. In addition to the above, Mr. Heinsber ger gave a free concert for the benefit of the large crowd that had assembled at his store, which was enjoyed by every one pre sent. Weather Indication. The following are the indications for to day: For the Middle Atlantic States, slightly colder and generally cloudy weatMer, IighTl rains but partly a snow in New York and Pennsylvania, northeasterly winds and higher barometer.

Hnmpty Dnmpty, The Philadelphia Record gives the fol lowing notice of Miaco's presentation of this popular pantomime, to appear at the Opera House in this city on Friday and Saturday next: j "Since the days of Geo. L. Fox, no more accomplished and altogether satisfactory "Humpty Dumpty" than Alfred Frisbie Miaco has been seen on the American stage. A parti-colored suit and a free use of bis muth are not all that are needed to trans form a man into an artistic clown. Many who posture before the world as pantomim- m . . 1 - . J A A ists nave nine eise 10 recommend mem, it is true,' but Miaco'is not of this class; with ' out descending to vulgarity or coarseness he employs almost every conceivable trick of facial or bodily contortion that tends to excite laughter, and his body evolves such wealth of whimsical conceits as to entitle him to rank as a master of the high art of foolery. He is surely the funniest scamp that ever whitened a face. He made the pantomime a wonderful creation." Foreign Exports. The following were the foreign ship ments yesterday: The Norwegian barque Erragon, Capt. Woxholt, for Liverpool by Messrs. D. R. Murchison, with 1,628 bales of cotton, weighing 757,102 pounds and valued at $74,764;. the Norwegian barque Chinn, Capt. Hansen, for Hamburg, Ger many, by Messrs. D. R.
