Kernochan bolted the regular Democratic nominations last cam paign, and Senator Eustis did not think he ought to be rewarded for this.. The nomi- nauonor ex Gov. Hubbard, of Texas, as Minister to Japan, was one of those which met with universal approval - The nomina tion which caused the greatest dissatisfac tion was the reappointment of Mr. Pearson as postmaster at New York, and this dis satisfaction' was about equally distributed among Democrats and Republicans." - "No man can hold the office of Superin tendent of Public Instruction or any other office in North' Carolina unless he be a citi zen of North Carolina.

Mr. Cherry -who was yet weak and f eeble from " the ef fects of a long siege of. sickness - left Ins home early yesterday mornhog for the banks of the Catawba, to indulge in ; the sport of fishing.

The -people of Wadesboro have been considerably shocked, over the brutal murder of an old: colored man on the streets ot tbt town nizht before last, by an inebriated white man from Polktoa named Diggs. The murdered n wauamed Sandy Cashi an old colored man who had long been known in; Wadesboro, and who was generally held in respect by his aeigh bors. Sandy was shot down on the-streets of Wadesboro by Diggs and died instantly. The murder, from all accounts was a cold blooded affair, being entirely unprovoked. Dieea managed to get several extra drinks in Wadesboro, and then made his way to the premises of a lady whose husband was absent from home. His antics alarmed the lady, and she called Sandy and asked him to get. the man out of the yard, qandy ap proached the man in a friendly manner, and persuaded him to take his departure. The politeness of the old darkey evidently had a ood effect upon Diggs, and tbe inebriate eparted on good terms with Sandy. That night Diggs met Sandy on the street, and without a word drew his pistol and com menced firing upon the defenseless darkey. Sandy fell and expired instantly. Diggs was arrested and placed Jn jail Wash ington dots: Major Gay and Mr. Joseph Davis are the chief contestants for the Wil son postoffice. - - Mr. George H.

The body of a drowned woman was found floating in the river opposite the city yes terday af ternoon, and Coroner Jacobs was notified of the fact. The body was secured and the remains viewed, when they proved to be those of Kitty Harvey, the colored stewardess of the filiated steamer Wave, which exploded her boiler and sunk on tbe west side of the river some weeks ago. She was identified by a man from Fayetteville who knew her. -The remains were not badly disfigured, considering the length of time they had been-m the water." No i n quest was held. The body was buried by the Coroner. Personal. Mr. E. J. Thorpe,, who has been luxuria ting in Florida on oranges and alligators for about ten days, returned yesterday.

Both bodies were buried by the Coroner at the expense of the county; -An Iron Bridge Across Smith's Creek. To morrow morning, at ,11 o'clock, a joint meeting of the Board of Magistrates and the Board of County Commissioners will be held, for the purpose of taking into consideration the building of an iron bridge across Smith's Creek, in place of the present wooden structure known as "Little Bridge." Such a bridge, in our opinion, will not only prove a great convenience, but the construction of it will be an abso lute stroke of economy on the part of the county fathers. The wooden bridge has been almost constantly out ofrepair, and the work upon it has costno little, to say nothing of the annoyance consequent upon its being ap frequently in a dilapidated condition. Another thing is lo be consid ered, and that is the fact, as we understand, that a bridge of this character can be built cheaper just now than at any other time, consequent upon the cheapness of material and labor. Let us have the iron bridge, by aH means. Foreign ' Exports. The Norwegian brig San Juan, Captain Basch, was cleared from this port for Bris tol, England, yesterday, by Messrs. Alex.
