News from London is that the Tories are anxious to postpone Irish affairs and to ? occupy the time of Parliament with foreign questions. This increases Mr. Gladstone's influ ence. Mr. O'Connor oables on 1st r toN. Y. Star: : . "Mr. Gladstone has sent messengers to make inquiries of the Nationalists as to r uieir disposition to act with him in the matter, and has received the encouraging answer that Nationalists are resolved to press forward the question of' homo rule, and are, for that reason, strongly opposed , w lue ueiay asKed for by the party now m VOL.

He demands satisfac tion from Mexico and isays Texas will redress her own wrongs if the United States Government does" not protect her from Mexican outrages. The cry is "Remember the Alamo," and with this slogan the war fever increases. The Democratic Congres sional! Convention at San Antonio demanded that the murder ot an American citizen be avenged. A special to the N. Y. Times from Dal las of 1st Aug. says : i "Meetings in approval of the Governor's action were held to-night in j various parts ot the State. In this city at noon yester day a fife and drum band, followed by a' crowd bearing the United States flag, para ded the streets. 1 Thousands of men, white and black, turned out," and for nearly an hour the city presented the appearance of being in the hands of a mob. Last night inflammatory addresses were ! delivered on Main street by the Mayor and half a dozen others. A letter was exhibited here to-flay from a well known ex-Confederate officer who says that he only awaits the moral backing of Gov. Ireland before taking the field with a force which he believes can in a few day 8 be swelled to 10,000." if There are a set of ghouls and vam pires in thejfcjorth who live by lying and by sucking the life-blood of cha racter and fame. One . pf these has begun his work in slandering the pure and lovely and gifted -Hayne. The Philadelphia Times isays: . "Paul Hayne's son, William H. Hayne. writes to the Chicago News to deny pretty much everything written to that journal about the dead poet by J. L. Martin. The letter gave the impression that the senior Hayne was improvident and cranky, and concluded by saying Martin lived two years near htm. . Young Hayne says, however. that neither hia mother nor himself has the remotest recollection of Martin." The Charleston correspondent of the, Niew8 an d Courier', -. referring to the present incompetent inefficient Congress, writes on 1st August: "The long session of the 49th Congress is nearly over, and yet there is practically nothing but the general appropriation bills to show that our lawmakers! have been at the Capital since last December. This has been a do-nothing session, simply because the Democratic party has been divided, and the Republican minority has outgeneralled its political opponents and prevented the majority from ; accomplishing several im portant measures which would have reflect ed credit upon Congress and the Democratic party . .

Si Royall to the Christian ministry yesterday attracted a large number of friends of the candidate from Mount Pleasant and the congrega tions of the city Baptist churches to the Citadeli Square Baptist Church. Mr. Royall was graduated at Wake Forest Col lege, North Carolina, and has pursued his professional studies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary . in Louisville, Ky., for the last two years. .

When told of the result at about 2:30 in the morn ing, he was lying in bed atithe hotel, but immediately, sent a message about as fol lows: "Give my regards and congratula tions to CoL Rowland, and tell him I wish to make one speech for him during the eantass which I wish him to hear personally. Tell him it may not be as great a speech as others that may be -delivered in his behalf, but none will be more honest and sincere." Hickory Carolinian : Will G. Means, of Concord, writes to the Charlotte Chronicle that . Judge Montgomery; has promised to resign his judgeship in case a certain suit was to be brought, which Mr. Means says must be brought for claimant to recover, The way Mr. Means looks at matters the Judge is putting himself in" a position we had not ' expected of him and hope he will be able to explain to the satia- r ; cn :V v. : v , i 114. .

There seems to be very little doubt that the Judge will be nominated as one of the candidates for the Supreme Court A large number of conventions in all parts of the State have already endorsed and instructed for him.- . - A special from Winston . to the New York Times gives something more concerning the ten-year old daughter of Mr. Samuel Reid, near that pjace. She has been afiiicted for six months. We quote: "The child has no organic disease. She is confined to the bed, and often lapses into insensibility that lasts for 20 days. During these periods the little girl refuses nourishment, and food is only given her by main force. Occasionally she awakes and asks for something to eat, and takes small quantities and then again sinks into an un conscious state. A stranger would declare the young girl to be dead, so deathlike is her appearance, with her eyes closed, res piration gentle and' scarcely perceptible,,, and resists all attempts to bring her to a state of consciousnessness, and refuses to speak only at the intervals when she calls for food. No signs of pain are exhibited, and the case baffles the skill of ( the attend ing physicians. The little sufferer has not lost flesh. She retains her color, and but foi her con lined trancelike condition would be thought to be asleep." j Charlotte Observer: The- re ceipts of cotton in Charlotte since the 1st of last September to date have been 36,155 bales. ' For the same period last season the receipts were 35.468 bales, a gain ' this sea son of 687 bales. . -A, colored man named Green Davidson was yesterday sent to jail in default of $50 bond for his ap pearance for trial before Judge Meares. up on charge of cruelly beating a mule.

Randolph and Iredell endorse Montgomery and Long for Judge and Solicitor, Long's nomination is now considered certain . f j Charlotte Chronicle : The new Prohibition paper The Ballot made its appearance this mornipg. It is a32-column journal and, to all appearances, makes a good start in the peculiar field it is designed to fill. From parties in the city to day from Paw Creek township, we learn of a difficulty that occurred late yesterday evening, near Tuckasege Ford, and which will probably result in the death of one of the participants. As far as we can learn the particulars are these : About dark William Braswell passsd the residence of Dr. T. T. Sandifer and called for Charlie 3andifer, the Doctor's eldest son. He was making preparations .to retire and went out in his bare feet. Some uneasiness being ex pressed by Mrs. Sandifer, Graham Sandifer, the youngest son, a lad about 17 years old, went out to see what was the cause of Bras well's call. He found Braswell and his brother Charlie in the rear of the black smith shop which stands on the edge of the yard, engaged in a fight. Graham Sandifer .' immediately went back to the house and got his pistol, about a 32 calibre, came back and ordered Braswell to leave the premises. When he came up to where the combatants were he found Braswell using a heavy stick, about the size of a spoke of a wheel. He fired on Braswell twice, both balls taking effect, one in the region of the ribs on the left side and one in the bowels. Our informant states that Braswell was in a low condition this morn ing when he left him, and it is the opinion of his attending physician that there is little hope of his recovery. He is a man pf family, having a wife and several children. khw AiiVKUTiititiuiKisrK T. H. Pmtchabd A card..! r Heinsberger School books. N, Y. & S. 8. Co. Sailing days. Excursion St. Thomas' Church.

J f r J T T;1N N G.,-WEDNESDA Y; ' . SMITHVILLEL The Railroad ProJe-Pblle Meet ' Ins Propositions Snlmtltted by the Syndicate, &e. A meeting of the citizens of Brunswick county was held at Smithville Monday last, in the . interest of- tho proposed railroad from that place to London t Ky. ; Hon. , D. L. Russell, as attorney for tho Railroad Company, submitted a proposition to the County . Commissioners, .the substance of which was that the county subscribe $100,- 000 in bonds to the road, 1 drawing 6 per cent, interest and payable in forty years. The bonds to be deposited - in any bank which the Commissioners may select until the completion of the road from Smithville to the South Carolina ; line a distance of thirty-eight miles and the bonds then to be delivered to the Railroad Company. It was lequested that this proposition be sub mitted to the qualified voters of the county, as authorized by the charter which has al ready been procured. - !, , The Commissioners agreed to submit the matter to the voters of the county, pro vided the Railroad Company would amend the proposition so. that the bonds should be delivered only when the road is completed to Bennettsville, S. C. This would give Smithville an outlet to the West by con nection with the Cape Fear & Yadkin Val ley Railroad even ; if the proposed road were completed ho further It j was ' also conditioned that interest on the, bonds should not begin until the lime of delivery of the same. " It is believed that the com pany will agree to this amendment to their proposition, when the matter, will at once he submitted to the people of the county., We understand that there is a strong sentiment in favor of the road throughout the county, and there seems to! be little doubt that the subscription will be voted by a large majority. i J The name of the corporation which pro poses to build the road is the Northwestern & Southeastern Railroad Company. They have a surveying parly now in the field, running a line from Smithville to Conway boro sixty five miles and thence to Ben nettsville, S C seventy-five miles where the road will strike the C.

The prospect of the road being built has already started a small boom in Smithville, and real estate has considerably enhanced in value. ' -, i Blortaary Report for July. The report of Dr. Potter, City Physician and County Superintendent of Health, for the month of July, gives the aggregate number of deaths in the city- as 46 four whites and forty two colored. In his re port. Dr. Potter says: "I do notl think it necessary to comment further upon the causes of the so-much greater mortality amongst the colored inhabitants. As there are twenty-six young children and sixteen adults in the list of colored? the fault to a great extent is due to the constitutional condition of their parents. I do not pre tend to intimate that there is do impru dence in eating, sleeping, etc. on the part of the colored people thus lowering their vital standard; but judging from the nature of their diseases, , we do not think these causes are by any means the prime factors in their case. ' The rapid drainage of water off the streets and lots after the heavy rams and the thorough application of lime and copperas has done much towards allaying our fears as regards disease. 1 1 would beg that weeds, grass, &c., gathered in private lots, should be placed so that the city carts can reach them and all ether like material. . Much sickness may be avoided by an ob servance of the city ordinance bearing on the subject. ' I am glad to be able to 'state that whooping cough has nearly subsided."
