not be sued or coerced in the Federal

We are pleased to learn that some
fifteen or twenty young men of dif-

The Stab recently called attention
to the need of such an Association.
Those going into it are zealous work
ers for Christ and humanity and
they deserve the active, open help of
all benevolent people who wish wel
to the cause of good. Those with
material means -should aid them
liberally. Charlotte built a $15,000

SUNDAY 8EBTIOE8.
It was a Communion occasion at
the Second Presbyterian Church on
Sunday morning. The sermon of
the pastor, Rev. John W. Primrose,
was specially adapted to. the touoh.
ing commemoration of the sacrifioial
death of the Saviour of eionere. It
was pathetic, persuasive, earnest and
comforting. There is a peculiar so
lemnity in the manner of celebrating
the Lord's Supper. The perfect si
lence excites reflection and throwsa
holy awe over all. During the last
quarter four persons were received
into this Church.
At night Rev. Dr. Flagg, of New
York, preached at St. John's Epieoo
pal Church. He is of commanding
pulpit presence and haa a ricH, sono
rous voice, with deep tones at will.
He read his discourse impressively
and with good elocutionary effect.
He took an .encouraging view of hu
manity and Christian life, and
o
savinc and sinful feneration, with
many evidences of intensihed carnal
lty and unmitigated sensuousness
around us, God had still his faithful
people who served him with holy
zeal and consecrated piety. The
-sermon was thoughtful, lucid, and
adorned with charms of rhetoric
that came in naturally and grace
fully. We noticed tasteful and ap
propriate similes as well as verbal
felicities.- It wai a pleasing, ani
mated discourse. Dr. Flagg was
born in Charleston," S. C, but has
lived in the North since his sixth
year. He has been preaching for the
St. James congrfgation for several
weeks, and we hav heard many
warm expressions of admiration for
tbe beauty and rare excellence of his
sermons. We have -heard but tbe
one noticed above. We embrace the
opportunity to say that the zealous
worker and sympathetic rector of St.
John's, Dr. Carmicbael,-has now the
be&t choir we remember to nave
heard in a long time. We -have no
doubt that as good singing can be
heard on Sunday nights as can be
heard in any church in the South,
and that is no mean compliment, but
well deserved. Wilmington has an
unusual amount of musical talent
and some of tbe. best id in the St.
John's choir.
lu answer to circulars sent out by
the Toledo (Ohio) Bladet Rep., one
hundred members of Congress have
been heard from. Nearly all favor
revenue reduction, but there is a
wide difference as to how this should
be done. A special to the World
says:
"The Democratic revenue reformers
strongly urge tbe reduction of the tariff on
all articles that can be called tbe necessaries
of life, and generally favor the letention of
interred revenue taxes except on tobacco.
Tbe Republicans and Randall Democrats,
as a rule, insist upon the retention of the
tariff except upon sugar and advocate the
abolition of nearly all internal revenue tax
ation, the most common exception being
whiskey More radical protectionists ad
vocate tbe entire repeal of the sugar duty
and the payment or bounties to sugar-
groweis. There is a general expression
among Republicans and some Western
Democrats in favor of enlarged expend!
tures for coast defences, new navy and
irver and harbor improvements."
The accomplished and gifted editor
of the Anniston Hot JSla&t, Mr. Ran
dal), says of the " Memorials of a
Southern Planter," to which the Stab
recently called attention, by Mrs.
Susan D. emedes, sister of tbe author
of Don Miff":
"Colonel Dabney was nearer to a realiza
tion of Thackerav'a Colonel Newcome than
anv man we ever met in real life. He was
nrinceiv when a wealthy man, and ncble
in the Dovertv of old ace a poverty caused
by a person he had trusted, and who left

Col. Dabney toiled; even with his bands in
the. field, to pay that cruel obligation, and
then prepared to die like a Christian gen-
rlnm a n
uviuau.

should be generally read. "Happy the

The nomination ot Hon. John G.
Carlisle, of Kentucky, for Speaker by
the Democratic caucus without op
position, was a prompt "and graceful
recognition of his superior abilities
and high character. There has been
no abler Speaker since Harry Clay's
day. Such is the opinion among the
best informed people in Washing
ton. Even Randall did not venture
to resist the nomination.
If Riddleberger should only go
with the Democrats there would be
a deadlock in the Senate, and that
would prevent the Republicans from
organizing the committees to seat
WILMINGTON,
The fight between Breckenridge,
of Arkansas, and Blount, of Georgia,
was produced by the former attack
king Col. Donelson. He gave Blount
the lie. The World's aocount says:
"Mr. Blount rushed towards Mr. Breck
enridge. Mr. Blount is much the heavier
man. Breckenridge advanced two or three
paces, when Blount's ponderous fist shot
out and caught Mr. Breckenridge fall in
the face. Blood was drawn by the blow,
but BreckenridEe pluckily held his ground
and swung his right into Mr. Blount's eye,
bringing the claret. Friends rushed be
tween and the effusion of further blood
wa prevented."

Aac simile of two shields that were
used in the war by the Tuetons, a
very ancient relic of ye olden times'
when feudal serfs and galley slaves
were in vogue, were presented to the
Jahrmarkt, through Rev. Mr. Pes-
chau, by two Charleston ladies, while
on his return from the meeting of the
United Synod of the Lutheran church,
which was recently held ett Savannah,
Ga.
Another curiosity will be a musket,
which will give an opportunity to
relic hunters to procure a fire arm of
Revolutionary times. It was used in
1776, by Captain Jacob Eckert, at
Newburg-on-the-Hudson, under Gen
eral George Washington. The cap
tain was at that time a private, but
was promoted to lieutenant by the
General, in the field, fr acts of valor
and bravery at that time. Although
it was a relic in the family of the
donor, it is cheerfully parted with to
the ladies of the Jahrmarkt, trusting
some one who appreciates an article
of this kind will pay a neat sum for it.
Among the many other oddities
will be exhibited three rifles which

The Board of Aldermen met in re
gular session at the City Hall last
night. All the members of the Board
were present, his Honor Mayor Fow
ler in the chair.
The Mayor stated that if there was
no objection the rules would be sus
pended to hear Col. Waddell, who ap
peared as attorney for claimants in a
matter of some ten thousand dollars
of city bonds, issued in 1867. These
bonds were issued to pay a note made
during the late war, and were af
terwards declared illegal and repudi
ated by the city. The matter was car
ried into the Courts, and the Supreme
Court of the State sustained the posi
tion taken by the city government.
Col. Waddell, addressing the
Board, asked them to compromise
with the holders by buying off the
claim, intimating that otherwise the
matter might be carried to the U. S.
Courts, and that it would be better
for the credit of the city, to wipe out
the claim.
Alderman Pearsall moved, and it
was carried, that the matter be re
ferred to the Finance Committee.
A petition of auctioneers of the city,
asking repeal of section 68 of the Gen

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Annual Exhibit Report of tbe Su
perintendent ofPnhlle InetrnetlOB.l I
The County Treasurer's annual re
port of the school fund, submitted to
the Board of County, Commissioners
yesterday, shows disbursements of
$16,695.09; balance on' band, $4,446.73.
The salaries paid were, to white
teachers, $5,590.25; colored teachers,
$8,226.25; county superintendent, $442;
to Board of Education, $408.
A synopsis of the annual statement
of Mr. Walker Meares, superintendent
of public instruction, gives the fol
lowing exhibit:
The average length of the school
term for the county, outBtde of the
city, was twenty weeks, for both
white and colored children. The av
erage length of the sehool term in the
city was thirty-two weeks, for both
races.
The total number of pupils enroll
ed was whites, 949; colored, 1,891.
Average attendance whites, 650; col
ored, 984. Of the whites, 446 were
males, 503 females; of the colored. 994
were males; 897 females.
Average salaries White and col
ored teachers $30 per month.
Number of children of school age in
the county : White 1,231 males;
1,435 females. Total 2,666. Colored
1,902 males; 2,481 females. Total
4,383. Grand total, 9,407 children of
school age, from 6 to 21 years.
Number of public schools whites
13, colored 15. Total 28.
Eighty-three teachers were ex
amined and approved during the
year.
The report of the Superintendent is
as follows:
In submitting my annual report I
can add but little to what has been
said in my " previous yearly state
ments. The improvement in our
schools then commented npon has
steadily continued; there is, however,
greater excellence yet to be reached.
The enrollment and attendance in
some districts is still too small. When
it is considered that the present Board
of Education has exhibited an un
usual interest in the schools and pro
pose to add one month more to the
school term, making a five months
session, it is but just to the children
and the Board of kdacation that
committeemen should heartily re
spond. In this connection I deem it
my duty to ref6r to the schools, both
wnite and colored, in the seventh Dis
trict. The attendance is most excellent
and will compare favorably with any
scnools with wmch 1 am acquainted.
at home or abroad. This is undoubt
edly due to excellent instruction and
great interest, practically manifested
by the school committee. I bee leave
to again refer to the admirable sec
tion in the school law, which places
A. it I
one-mira oi tne scnooi money in me
general fund to be utilized in the in
terest of both races. It would be dif
ficult to conceive how a morp just law
could have been framed. Without an
enactment of this kind great injus
tice would inevitably follow; as it
now operates, there is no discrimina
tion. Our city schools are now crowded;
in some instances completely overrun.
To meet this difficulty, I suggest that
the Board recommend to the next
General Assembly to alter the school
acre from 6 to 21, to 8 to 20. At least
fifteen per cent, of our teacners are
mere nurses. Availing themselves of
excellent teachers and comfortable
rooms, a number of children are en
rolled to get rid of the trouble and ne
ceB6ary attention at home. It is ex
ceedingly difficult to retain the atten
tion ot children six and seven years
of age. The time allotted to the class
should be bestowed exclusively upon
thoee who are rapidly reaching that
period wnen they must go to work.
In conclusion, I would earnestly re
commend that the present course of
instruction be not enlarged. In my
opinion a thorough teaching of tbe
rudiments in the short .time allotted
for public instruction is all that can
be. obtained. Any attempt to go be
yond this will result in failure, in
deed, the State of North Carolina does
not intend that education in the pub
lie schools should go any further than
teaching every child, thoroughly, the
rudiments, wisely judging that , the
pupil, if he has the ambition and the
desire.will himself acquire the higher
education. The State demands the
services of her citizens on the jury
and in many other responsible posi
tions, and expects-that these duties
shall be nerformed with intelligence.
The citizen has the right to demand
that the opportunity be afforded that
he may fit himself for theproper dis
charge of these duties. Thus, tnere
is no charity in public education. The
State ie endeavoring to this extent to
fulfil her part. If failure results, it
will be owing to a lack of interest and
energy on the part of her citizens.
Respectfully submitted.
