The two signers were Mr. Clements, of Georgia, and Mr. Stone, of ; Missouri. They fight it because it is unconsti tutional, because it' limits the right to hold office to persons 45 years of age, because of the methods of ex amination, and because it keeps in office thousands of hostile officials. rhese are reasons enough to kick the law to death. The Charleston News and Courier has ability and boldness. IV is a very earnest gold bug exponent, it goes for the Blair bill, might and main, and it is a strong advocate of the Civil Service humbug. With all this it calls .itself Democratic, and goea. for benator Vance .with uu gloved hands and thinks it has de molished him. But Vance has been tackled by much more dangerous foes than the Charleston assailant. Its last performance is to strike right and left at Judge Bennett, calling him "a benighted Representative" md accusing him of "braying." Col. Bennett in intelligence, in legal ability, in character is quite the peer of any man South Carolina has in the Federal Congress. He will hard- y be deterred from doing what he thinks right by such critics as the Charleston News and Courier and those it represents. A very wonderful spring has been discovered in Ashe county, N. C, according to a 4onS special , in the New York Times sent frdm Abing ton, Va., dated 5th April. A boy accidentally discovered it. It cures poison oak after two bathings. It heals old sores. The whole account is marvellous, and, if not a big lie, some wonderful cures have been made by this wonderfuiwater. Here is a part of the account: "The boy's father then tried the effieacy of the water upon sores which had annoyed him for many weeks, and in a marvellously short time was entirely relieved. He then concluded to keep secret the locality of the spring, allowing no one to goto it but him self, but always keeping a supply 01 the water ot the house. T He neighbors swarmed to his house to try the magic wafer. Many were healed of various maladies, and ail were eager to know where the spring was situated. The old man kept his secret, however, going under cover of night to fetch the water. Finally he was followed to his life going fountain. In less than twenty four hours every brier and bramble for many a yard around had been beaten down by the feet of men - and hoofs of horses, so great was the throng coming and going. A 'basket meeting was appointed by the Methodist circuit rider, to be held at the spring on a certain Sunday . It is estimated that 700 persons were present, i ne preacner tola of his wife's wonderful cure. In conse quence of a kick from a cow one of her leg had been in a painful condition for lour weeKS. wiimn io joiduu sua mc first aDDlication of this water she began to experience relief from pain, and after 12 or 15 hours treatment the pain was entirely gone. This was one of many instances re lated by the preacner to nis eager listeners. From that day people came from far and near, driving sometimes 80 or 40 miles in a wagon and waiting several days ior a chance to fill their barrels. On Sundays from 800 to 400 persons were to be seen on the spot. " " Spirits Turpentine. . Rev. Mr. Rawls, of Wilson, is dead. - Charlotte is to have a tobacco warehouse.

James A I Weston, the rector of the Church of the Ascension (Episcopal), in tticxory, nas placed his resignation in the bands of the Vestry, to take effect June 1st. The resig nation is positive, and leaves no alternative but acceptance. , Tbe Wilmington Stab is the oldest 'of the State dailies, but by no means decrepid by reason of i age. On the contrary it is one of the most alert, lively and readable newspapers in the State. It is a journal of great independence,- and defends its views with great ability. Long may its popularity and use fulness continue, j Rockingham Rocket: The dam age done to the county fence by the March fires amounted to probably not more than $50. , The Stab is a tower of strength in North Carolina," and indeed in the South, for, among the newspapers of . the present day, it stands head and shoulders with the best. Long may it live. Thailoods of last week did damage in various sections of the county, particularly in the upper portion. Some farmers on Little River, Buffalo and Mountain Creeks lost quanti ties of corn which had just been planted, the land washing down to the hard clay, and rendering the soil useless for further cultivation. On the Pee Dee, reported higher than known in several years, Mr. T. J. Bostick suffered a loss of 5,000 pounds of fodder which was stacked in the field at a safe distance, as- he thought, from the river. - . DurhzmRecorder: The Rev. M. T. Yates, D.

Tipton is the most journalistic journalist in the State. He is editor of the Newton Enterprise, owns a half interest in the Lin coln Press, has bought out the Dallas Cur rent and intends to start, at an early date. a paper at Wilkesboro. A difficulty occurred at Thomasville late last night, in which Troy Foster, a negro, about 22 years of age, was shot, and is probably dead at this writing, as the physician says there is no hope for his recovery, and he could not possibly live longer than noon. We are in formed that Foster had made a number of threats against others of his race, and last night a colored man called on constable Wm. File for protection. Foster resisted arrest and attacked File with an open knife. File drew his pistol and fired several shots. one taking effect in Foster's back. Raleigh News- Observer: Gov.

Proceedings of Adjourned Meeting Estimates for Appropriations, &c. . The Board of Aldermen met in ad j ourned session at the City Hall last night. All the members of the Board were In attendance, Mayor Hall presiding. Estimates for the ensuing year were sub mitted and adopted, as follows: For Police Department, $18,965; for Markets, $2,400; Public Buildings, $3,038; , Stieets nd Wharves,i $10,063.08; Light Department, $7,300; Fire Department, $10,867.92; Sani tary Department, $2,734.66; City Hospital, $1,000; Water Works, $6,800. On motion,- an appropriation of $600 was made for the municipal election. j The Fire Commission submitted their re port on applications for permission to erect new buildings, recommending the granting of petitions of I. B. Rhodes, Sam Bear, Sr., Kerchner & Calder. Bros., and asking further time on applications of J. A. Fore and McDougald & Love. The report was adopted. A resolution that the Committee on Streets and Wharves 'be instmcted to in vite bids for building an iron bridge on Fourth street to span the cut caused by the W. &. W. Railroad, and that said commit tee be instructed to confer with the railroad company as to its bearing a portion of the cost of said bridge, was adopted. A motion that the Committee on Streets be instructed to repair Sixth street bridge and appropriating $600 for the purpose was adopted. On motion of Alderman Worth $500 was appropriated for stationery and printing,, and $300 for feeding prisoners. A communication from Donald MacRae President of the Wilmington Gas Company was read. The Gas Company say that a construc tion is placed upon Mr. Jones' note which was never intended and which places the company in a false position before the pub lic such as is calculated to injure and has injured the interests of the company in the public mind. The company disavows any such intent as is charged in said report, and also explains the circumstances under which Mr. Jones' note was written and its purpose. After reciting the proposals ad vertised for by the Board of Aldermen for lighting the city, and the bids submitted. it continues, "a day or two prior to the 3rd of April? Mr. Giles, Chairman of the Com mittee, in conversation with the President and Secretary of the Company, asked for some information, and on tbe 3rd inst. he wrote the following request to Mr. Jones: "Mr. R. J. Jones Dear 8ir: Can you give us the information asked yesterday. Very truly, C. Giles, For Light Committee." To which in an equally informal manner Mr. Jones replied in pencil upon the same sheet of paper, that he had not laid the, question before the Board of Directors, but from expressions, he Was satisfied they would not agree to bid for a portion only of the city lights certainly not anything like tbe figures named in the bid for the whole; but that if desired he would lay the subject before the Board. Mr. Giles returned the same sheet of paper with the endorsement "lay the -matter before the Board of Directors," and subsequently sent the note which was printed in the report of the committee. When the matter came before tbe Directors of the Gaa Com pany tbey decided that as the company had already made a bid for lighting the city, which was then pending before the Board of Aldermen, they could make no other. The statement continues: "The city had advertised for bids; this company bsd put in one in good faith and were bound by it (unless withdrawn), until accepted or re jected by the Board,. As we were not aware that the Committee on Lights were author ized to reject both bids before them, and make separate propositions to each bidder, as stated in Mr. Giles note, but supposing that the power was vested in' the Board of Aldermen, we did not feel called upon to make any other proposal in anticipa tion of the action of the Board of Aldermen. If the Board of . Alder men bad invited bids for a specific number of gas lamps for street lighting in stead of for the lighting of the whole city, this company would no doubt have submit ted a proper bid for the same. But no such proposal had been called for by your Board, and the issue of all gas or all electricity, which the committee allege was forced upon them by us, was of their own making. This company could not, if it desired to do so, refuse to furnish the city with gas at the same rate as to private consumers; and as a matter of business, it is only reasona ble to suppose that - for a large number of lamps some deduction would have been made from the regular rate It may be mentioned that as this company had made the lowest bid tendered we thought that under the law section 10 which we beg you to have read that the contract would be made with us, or all bids before the Board would be rejected and other pro posals invited. But as stated above we simply intended to await your action on the bid already made, before considering the propriety of making another, and there fore the directors instructed the Secretary to decline to name any rate to the Commit-' tee on Lights." On motion of Alderman .Worth the com munication was received and made a part of the minutes. i The application of Walker Meares to be appointed tax lister for the city was on motion referred to the Finance Committee, with power to contract with Mr. Meares at a sum not to exceed that heretofore paid. A communication concerning the county jail was read, and after 'discussion further consideration of the matter was postponed. nn a A resolution concerning giving the right of way for a street railway was referred to the Committee on Streets and Wharves. Petition of Worth & Worth to erect a two story brick building and a wooden ware house on Mulberry street was referred to the Fire Commission with power to act. Petitions of F.: C. Miller, Mrs. Kate Brown and W. E. Springer to erect build ings weie granted. ' Adjourned.. Firemen's' Parade The Howard Be lief. The Howard Relief Fire Engine Com pany turned out yesterday afternoon with their steamer, the Adrian, for. practice. The machine was stationed at the foot of Mar ket street, taking water from the river. - The first trial was throwing two streams, each with a hundred feet of hose, through one inch nozzles; attaining a distance of about 160 feet, with each stream. The next trial was throwing four streams, by the use of Siamese connections, through three quarters and seven eighth inch nozzles. The distance attained in this trial was about 125 feet. The third trial was throwing a single stream through two lines of hose "sia mesed" together, through an inch and a quarter nozzle. Distance attained about 225 feet. The excellent practice of the company was witnessed by a good many spectators, who lined the sidewalks and seemed deeply interested, throwing four streams from one engine being something decidedly new and novel to many of them. The beautiful rain bows that spanned the street, caused by the sunlight falling upon the spray, was a pretty feature. The engine house of the ' Howard Relief is being repaired and improved by adding additional quarters for hostlers and attend ants. It is proposed, also, to turn the whole upper part of the building, into one large hall, which will be used for company meetings and social gatherings. After the repairs and alterations to the building have been completed, the drop harness will be introduced. The company are hopeful that the city fathers will give them sub stantial encouragement in their efforts to increase the efficiency of their service, and certainly Jhey well deserve it. Personal. Mr. J. A. Moroso, of the staff of the Charleston News and C&urier, made us a pleasant visit yesterday.

JgESOLVED, That we, the Bricklayers and Plas terers of the City of Wilmington, de hereby con demn the project of Imported Contractors com ing to this city and underrating the mechanics of this city, who are settlers and freeholders, hay ing no other way to Uve saying by their daily labor obtained by their trades. Through this medium we pay oar taxes, snpport our families, and soheol our children. Therefore, We do hold that we are greatly op pressed when we are denied a chance to work, and our places filled with men from other towns and from the country who quit their vocations on the farms, and even tramps, who are men of no responsibility, no families, no homes, nor no thing to care for. If, therefore, things go on in this way we, the mechanics, must ere long starve and oar families with as. We ask these contractors to deeply consider this matter, and ask themselves the question, are they doing the mechanics of this city justice j We appeal to the business gentleman of this city, especially those with whom we spend oar money, and thereby keep the circulation of the money in the city, where it benefits the mer chants and mechanics also. If you hire tramps they carry the money away: this is aloo true of imported mechanics. Nevertheless, if foreign workmen come to our city and take contracts, they should give the mechanics of this city em ployment as welL Yet they refuse not only to give reasonable rates, but to give our citizens employment. Resolve, also, tfe mechanics of the 'city of WiT mington, demand our rights as mechanics to work with rates reasonable. ap 9 It 5c Don't Fail To Use Kauffman's Pearls 5c For Coloring Easter Eggs, Ribbons and Goods of all kinds.
