It is very curious, to see so manv Democratic papers : gnshing over Grant and advocating pensioning him. What has Grant done to de- serve any such insincere p'allaver?,- He is the same old Grant and in no sense a better man. The people' at least do not favor this useless dona tion to a broken banker. A Wash ington special of the 6 th to the Charleston 'News and Courier says: "Some members of the Military Affairs committees of the Senate and House are not struck favorably with the suggestion in the President's message that Gen; Gram. snouia De pensioned. Tney reel that he is already sufficiently provided for, having an income of $16,000 per annum from the fund that was raised for him near the close of his second term as President. None of that fund was lost through tbe failure of the banking firm of Grant & Ward. Ac cording to the terms of the donation only the interest can be touched. According to the principles laid down by the President last spring in his veto of tbe bill to restore D ltz John Porter to the army, if any Con gressional aid is given Grant it must be in the shape of a reward." Sradstreefs reports 296 failures in the United States for the last week against 169 in 1881. The bottom is again falling out and the South is contributing its full share of fail utes.

TTMMPTiSD ARSON, - Fire Set under v 1 Store Tbe Flamea Discovered In Tlme-Arret of tbe Alleged Iaeenctorr4' " ?: V At an early hour yesterday orningbe fore daylight had fully dawned, an attempt 'as made to set fire to the upholstery and paper-hanging establishment s iof Mr. B. P. White, north side of Market, between Sec ond and Third streets. ; :A boy.by the name of Robbie .Smith; v living . in "a house on Second street, from the back piazza of which there is a view of ; the rear of Mr. White's premises, happened to go out on the p iazza in question ; and says he saw a boy go under Mr. s White's Store, (the rear of which stands high ' from the ground),', and come out again, and .then , return once more In a few ' moments after he - came out the last time, fire was seen to blazeup. .under' the hbuse. ;fle j 'made nis "wayai quickly as possible across lots and gave the alarm-. Mrs. Woodcock, whose hus band is absent, keeps a boarding house in the up stairs above Mir. White's store, and the boarders hurried to the help of those engaged in putting out the fire. About the. same time Reuben Burness, colored, , an old employe of Mr. White's, opened the front door of the store for the purpose of preparing; for the business of the day, when he found the building full of smoke, and thereupon went to the as sistance of those who were extinguishing the fire. It seems that fire was set to a box and basket filled with cotton and shucks, which were placed in favorable positions under the rear of the store. The fire was blazing up pretty fiercely, and j was communicating to the floor above ana a hammock which was suspended in close proximity to the basket when so opportunely discovered. A few moments, and the building would have been.- in a light blaze, land the destruction of a : latge amount of property would doubk-ss have resulted! A colored boy, about 15 years of age, who gave his name as Thomas Gardner, was arrested on the serious charge of arson, and the preliminary examination before Mayor Hall was to have come off yesterday morn ing, but was finally postponed until this morning. j A nan In a Dance Home Gets Hie Tbroat Cut Tbe Wound Not Serious Preliminary Examination of tbe Accused. Gus Brown, colored, was arrested and taken before His Honor, Mayor Hall, yes terday morning, in his capacity of a Justice of the peace, charged with an assault and battery with a deadly weapon upon one Charles Jackson, colored. Jackson was in court with bis throat bandaged, and it transpired that be had received a cut in that dangerous locality during the difficulty in question. The evidence was to the ef fect that Brown was in tbe baN connected with a dance house on Nutt street, on Sat urday night, in conversation with some other young men, when Jackson passed in their vicinity and caught a remark which he thought was intended for himself. He demanded to know the purport of the re mark, when Brown said: "Oh, you go along; somebody will hurt you?' when ! Jackson cursed him for a liar, whereupon Brown struck him and knocked him pros-' trate and senseless upon the floor. Some of the parlies present picked him up and carried him into the street, when he shortly revived. He was bleeding profusely, and was taken to the office of ' the nearest sur-' geon, who examined the wound and found it to be near some of- the leading arteries, which caused the great loss of blood, while the injury itself was of a superficial charac ter, not being in the least dangerous. Brown confessed that he struck the blow, but de nied that he used a knife or brass knuckles One witness1 testified to heating Gus say. while in tbe building, and not more than five minutes before the fight took place, that he intended to cut somebody, but she did not understand who. Jackson himself stated that he was stricken on the opposite side of the head from where he was cut. Gus swore .-positively, however, as before stated, that he had no knife or other instru ment and that all the blow he inflicted was with his fist. I ! After hearing all the evidence the Court ordered tbe defendant to give a bond in the sum of $100 for his appearance at the next term of the Criminal Court, and he was committed to the sheriff. A Lost Cblld. A little child of i Mr. Risley, some three 1 or four years old, residing on Fourth, be tween Castle and Queen streets, was lost about 10 o'clock Sunday morning, and was not found until late in the day, when Officer Smith picked the little one up on Church, between Front and Second streets. In the meantime the mother, in great dis tressV was going in every direction." search ing for the child, and people generally in that section of the city were considerably excited, as it was j thought that some evil had befallen. the little one. ,4 - f m 'Don't Forget It. j WVwould remind the,. public that the tlckeW'for the entertainment on Friday 'night, at the Opera House, wilflie on sale at Heinsberger's to-day, where reserved seats can he . had at seventy-five or fifty cents, according toj "location.

Zb tlie Committee on Survey of tii&W; & 0. ' icauroad: ""'- I Gentlemen.: In accordance with your" instructions. 1 have made an experimental survey from the intersection of Seventeenth and Market , streets to need's Ferry, on New River, id Onslow county, and beg leave to submit, with map and profile, the following : ' i bepobt: The distance is 4H . miles, and with a maximum grade of 31 feet to the mile, and standard gauge of 4' feet 81 inches, there would be 216,838 cubic yards of excava tion and embankment; an average of 5,225 cubic yards to the mile. . Urading At 15 cents per cudic yaro, tne grading would cost $783.75 per . mile. making $32,525.70. ,e s : 2,000 cross ties to tbe mile, at 20 cents each, would ' be $400 per mile, or a total of $16,600. ' Katls, dec. I find no quotations Tor iron rails, but steel rails have recently been sold as low as $28.00 per ton. Suppose you paid $33.00 per ton, delivered, for a 50- pound (to tbe yard) steel rail. You would require 78 1280-2240 tons per mile, equal to 3260.7 tons, costing $2,52.85 per mile, cr for the whole distance, $107,603 27. - Three thousand pounds of spites would cost, delivered, $71.00; making a total of $8,946.50. splices and bolts $88.00 per mile, or $3,-, 652.00. RECAPITULATION. Grading 41 miles i.. $ 32,525 70 Cross ties 16,600 00 Steel rails 107,603 27 Spikes. &c 6,598 50 Laying track, engineering, &c. 11,000 00 $174,327 27 For a narrow gauge (3-ft) road. Grading 24,000 00 Rails (30 lbs. per yard). at $37 per ton 7a,iu 7U Cross ties 15,000 00 Spikes, track laying, &C. . . 16,600 00 $128,190 70 The line could be built to the mouth of Stone's Creek (lower side) or either of the points below, with a distance of 40 miles. And by coming into the city at a point near the site of the Union Depot a short distance might be saved in either case re ducing tbe cost. 1 did not run to the mouth of Stone s Creek, as this additional line would not materially alter the estimate, and it was not thought advisable to run through the standing crops. 1 have added to the map, for your con venience, several lines heretofore run out towards the Sound, from which it appears that to include the Sound Road, by the old line, which runs near Hewlett's Creek and crosses Lee's Creek between the church near Mr. Bradley's and the Sea-Side Park, would make tbe road. 61 miles longer, and there would be a considerable addition to the expenses which-is a matter requiring careful estimates rfor a bridge across the creek, and as to whether a draw-bridge. would be required; also, as to the nght of way along the sound. The cost of grading this branch would probably be about $52, 000. To cross the creek higher up would throw the road too' far from Wrightsville. But a branch leaving the main line at a point about 4 miles from Wilmington, would reach Sea-Side Parkin 3 miles, and would avoid the creek altogether; moreover, the grading on this line could be done for $500 per mile. This I think the most feasible way of reaching tbe sound, and decidedly the most economical; unless It should be determined to build the Sound Railroad alone. " In conclusion,! have to thank Col. R. R. Bridgers for his kindness in the loan of tents and utensils, without which this pre liminary survey would have been impossi ble With the limited means at command. Yours, respectfully, Rod, MacRae. Wilmington, N. C, Oct 20, 1884. To the Commitee on Survey of Line from WUmmgton to jrayettemue: Gentlemen: Having, in. conformity with your. instructions, . made an experi mental survey for tbe proposed Railroad from Wilmington to Favetteville. I resDect- f ully submit with map and profile the fol lowing bepobt: The distance according to the experi mental survey is 82 miles to the eastern end of Clarendon Bridge, at Fayetteville, and the estimates are' made for that dis tance: 183,658 cubic yards of excava ' tion at 15c per cubic yard. . . . $ 225,250 cubic yards of embank ment at 15c per cubic yard. . 448,440 feet trestle timber at $16 00 per 1.000 feet B.

The distance in an air-line is 74.9 miles. found' the people along the entire route, many of whom I have to thank for courte sies extended to myself and party, very anxious for the road, arid therefore think there would be very little difficulty in the matter of the right of way. The country along the line is generally well timbered. it would be 8upernuous for me to suggest any particular route of, several that might be adopted, as that would be a matter for the consideration of - the engineer . who makes the location. ; Again thanking Col.

Cotton Futures, The Raleigh News and Obserter says : : In the United States Circuit Court, before Judge Seymour, there is. pending an inter. esting case, involving the legality of cotton utures. It is the case of Aubrey Bennett & Co., of New York, vs. E. P. Covington, of Wilmington, N. C. It is instituted for the recovery of $5,206, that sum being the amount of Mr. Covington's losses in trans actions in cotton futures through the New York firm above named. Covington's de fence is that the transaction was gambling. The following counsel appear in the case: John D. Shaw and Fuller & Snow for Covington ; John W. Hinsdale and John Devereux, Jr., for Mr. Bennett. The case is to be resumed to-day. Mr, Covington says his defence is that the transaction was swindling. Religious Blatters. Rev. D. H.
