Io compliance with directions from the Clerk of the U. S. Circuit Court, TT. S.. Marshal J. B. Hill sends an order to Special Deputy C. H. Strode to oust cer tain parties from buildings on what is known aa the "ting property," in the neighborhood of the 'Marine -Hospital. It will be remembered tbat a lot of land be-longinr-lo the government located in the part of the dty named, was sold some ten or twelve years ago by order of the Secre tary of the Treasury, and purchased by the late Dr. J. Frances King and others. The amount was to be paid in three install ments, and two payments bad been made, when a new administration came into power and Secretary Sherman, who claimed that the property had been sold at two great a sacrifice, refused to receive the third payment when tendered or to recognize the validity of the sale. The property consequently reverted back to the government In the meantime the property (or a- portion of it) was par celled out into lots and sold off to a large number of colored people, some of whom paid part and others paid none at all. By a subsequent act of Congress tbe money was refunded to such as had paid for their lots, and the government is now endeavoring to get possession of all these lots constituting what waa formerly the "King property." The moat of those having possession sur rendered without giving any trouble, but others still bold on. Tbe order received by Deputy 8trode is to give the following occupants of the property until the first of May to eurrender the same, and upon fail ure he to to eject them without further ceremony: Molly Brown.

C.; April 8, 3, .'84. )' Gentlemen: -IX. has been customary at your annual ; meeting for the President ot Jo ar -Exchange to submit ' a report of what as been done ' by the Board of Managers during .their term of office, and tor himtto make such suggestions for your considera tion as may prove ibejaefldat IP'' I.wouid. tbecrfore, e2 call your at tention toy the report of your Treasurer, just read, and congratulate you npon our finandal condition. You will ooserve that the balance turned over by the "former Board of 'Managers. $332 05, has been added to our permanent or surplus fund, thereby increasing it to $1,016 57; that the amount received from dues for the year was $1,193 67; and the amount expended $1,167 19, being an increase of expendi tures over the previous year of $112 this excess of ' expenditures being used in pro viding onr exchange with entire new fur niture and in fitting up files, racks, &c., (and additional seats) in our present rooms; and after paying every debt up to April 1st we have a balance of $25 57, showing that our income has proven amply sufficient for current expenses; which should be a matter of congratulation. Th rooms of our Exchange are now fitted up in a very neat and substantial manner; are large and roomy, and are much better adapted to our purposes than those formerly used, and will prove attrac tive and comfortable. In tbe matter of fire insurance, we have been unable to secure a reduction in the rates of premium on naval stores and cot ton," which we feel are excessive, and with our improved facilities for extinguishing fires should be lessened, and we would urge upon our successors to use every effort to have them reduced. I take pleasure in reporting that the W. & W. and W., - C. jfc A. R R. Cos. have completed their very large and commodi ous freight warehouses; have erected plat forms around them, and have fixed the crossings over their tracks on Nutt street so tbat the roadway leading to the C.C. Rail road for drays, trucks and other vehicles is very much improved, and every facility is afforded for doing business with the W. & W., W. C. & A. and C. C. Railroads. To our City Fathers we should feel grate fgl for the very great improvement to North Water etreet, now under way and approach ing completion ; paving the same its entire length with tbe most approved blocks, and laying tbe sidewalks with .stone flagging, which, when completed, will add greatly to our business facilities, expediting the moving of goods, and lessening the wear and tear on horses and vehicles. During the year a line of steamers has been established between this port and Bal-timore-rCapt A D. Cazaux, agent here, and Messrs. Andrews & Co., agents at Bal timore which must add largely to our trade if properly fostered, and prove ef great benefit to our port I have every reason for believing that an appropriation will be made at this ses sion of Congress for the erection of a post office, court-room and other public build ings, so much needed here. Through the exertions of our able and most worthy Re presentative, Col. Wharton J. Green, the committee has reported favorably upon the matter, and it will without doubt pass both Houses. To this and every matter tbat affects our interests Col. Green devotes his entire time, and is entitled to our lasting gratitude. A committee of our best merchants, ap pointed at a joint meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and Board of Trade and Pro duce Exchange, hare the matter of public buildings in charge, and will do all in their power to push the matter to a successful issue. i would beg to call your attention to the fact that the books of our Exchange show a falling off in both our receipts and ex ports for the present year as compared with last year, which in my opinion should have your immediate attention and most earnest consideration, and every exertion should be made to open up new avenues of trade and to the encouragement of new industries. A portion of this falling off can be di rectly traced to a loss of a large portion, of our trade with Onslow county, which New Berne is making every effort to secure, and with some degree of success; this trade be ing done in small vessels, 40 tons and under. Since the closing of New Inlet masters think it too hazardous to go to the western bar around Frying Pan shoals, and therefore the trade is gradually leaving us. We should therefore at once use every effort to build the contemplated road from here to New River, in Onslow county, a railroad not more than 35 miles long, and tbat can be built and equipped (narrow gauge) by estimates of an experienced civil engineer and railroad manager, at a cost not to exceed $200,000, and that would pay as soon as completed. And with New River as a feeder, and the development of the lumber 1 oyster, vegetable, fruit, canning and other industries would prove not onlv verv profitable to its stockholders. but woulcLrestore this lost trade to pur dty land prove of infinite advantage in many etnelinton &p0t CasweU RaU.; road. .Col.
