Generals McCIeilan and Crook were passed. Mr. Venable, of Virginia, and Mr. Elliott, of South Carolina, who were unseated in Congress on Tuesday, acre yesterday unanimously nominated 1 n re-election by the Dejnocrats ( f their respective districts. The President returned to Washington eierday from his mountain retreat in IVnnsy Ivania. The Birchall mur der trial at Woodstock, Ontario, is at tracting great attention; the prisoner maintains his careful toilet, and eon ducis himself in a very quiet and easy going manner; there are two clearly de-ti.'t-d parties in the community, one in h s t.ivor and the other against him. The collections of internal reve nue for the first two months of the fis i a! vear. July and August, show a net increase of S1.S31.802. The con ferees on the tariff bill have not yet reached a conclusion; sugar and binder twine are the points still unsettled. New York markets: Money easy at 2l23 per cent.; cotton easy, mid dling uplands 10?8 cents; middling Or leans 10 IMG cents; southern flour heavy and quiet; wheat dull, weak and lc lower, No. 2 red $1 011 00g at elevator; corn weak; No. 2 red 5o55Js cents at elevator; rosin steady and quiet; spirits turpentine quiet and easy at 404 40 cents. Tom Reed took an etra hitch in his s.isii, grabbed his mallet and got in his work Tuesday. Water is getting scarce in Illinois. The dairymen of that State have combined to put up prices. The Raleigh Evening Visitor, an excellent local paper, is eleven and a half years old, and grows better with age. Ex-Senator Thurman is banking on Gov. Campbell, of Ohio, and says lie expects to live to see him in the White House. After the Reed gang in the House voted spoliation in the Virginia and South Carolina cases they turned their attention to the French spolia tion claims. Ben Butterworth says a mortgage does not necessarily indicate adver sity. No, of course not, but if a fel low hasn't the wherewith to lift it when it is poked at him, how then? President McLeod, of the Read ing, Pa., railroad, gets a salary of $40,000 a year. Chauncey M. De pew, president of the New York Cen tral, gets $50,000. This is about as good as running a newspaper, The Chattanooga iron men are elated at their success in making steel by the basic process, at $2.75 a ton. They say they can steal a march now on the Pennsylvania steel men and lift them out of their boots. Senator Ingalls has shown his in terest in the Kansas farmer by plac ing $10,000 in one of the banks to discount their paper at 18 per cent, interest. An investigation of the affairs of the bank brought this fact to light. Ex-Governor Fitzhugh Lee is turning his attention 'successfully to the development of Western Vir ginia, In November he is looking for a party of English, and Scotch capitalists representing a capital of $80,000,000, and he is confident they will make some large investments. - Ihe ' Morning Star. Mr. Gheadle. Rerjuhliran f' Tn. w y V. IS diana, declared that it would be an outrage, -for which the Republican party should not be resnonsihl t count Langston in, but he didn't 1 1 nave tne nerve to stay out with the T" M . democrats to Dreafc a auornm prevent mm trom being counted in. He surrendered at the last moment and made Dossible th nntr. against wnicn ne so vehemently pro i-caicu, While Reed's friends knife Blaine. Blaine's friends ar telling how Reed is under obligation to Blaine for keeping him out of th army when he was drafted during the war, by securing him a position as paymaster in the navy, where he would be out of the reach of Confed erate bullets, a debt of Gratitude which Reed is now repaying by the ttninng process. The friends of Congressman Hitt Republican, of Illinois want him to hurry home, because his Democrat ic competitor is doing some pretty heavy hitting and is getting awav with him, especially in the rural dis tricts where the farmers are desert ing the g. o. p. in great numbers and throwing up their hats for the Demo cratic nominee. They say Tom Reed is physically a coward, but as a Congressional bulldozer he is a brave. The great- est coward is apt to be the greatest bully and tyrant when he can tyr rannize with impunity, and without being held personally accountable. Mr. Gladstone estimates that a century hence the population of the United States will be 600,000,000. Imagine what Congress will be then when with only 330 members it can raise so much hades when it turns it self loose. The Reed gang came out on top Tuesday, in spite of the Democratic filibuster.

It is estimated that at least twelve hundred people were present at the meeting last night. THE YACHT "mIGNON. Gone Like McGinty to the Bottom of the Sea. The Signal Service observer at South- port telegraphed yesterday morning as follows: The tug Blanche returned at 5.30 .Vlnrk this mornine' without the vacht. The tug had a cable run out to the vnrht and was readv to start on the tow when the men who were bailing the Minon, and who were almost worn out, having worked steadily since day before yesterday, without stopping to take food, upon learning that the life eavinor rxf.vr were not eoincr to follow them, threw down their buckets and refused to work. The yacht soon niied again and the tug left her on the beach. It is said that with a fresh force of eight or ten men to bail, the yacht could have been brought in. A telegram last night from the obser ver says, however, that within an hour after the tug left the Mtgnon, the latter drifted nearly a mile and sunk out pf sight in about twenty-five feet of water. Evervthine went down with her except the pilot house which drifted off to sea. Schedule for the Sam Jones Meetings.

C., THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1890. I. O. O. F. Sovereign Grand Lodge Officers Elect ed at the Recent Meeting, etc. Mn John L. Dudley, Grand Represen tative of the I. O. O. F. of North Caro lina to the Sovereign Grand Lodge at Topeka, Kansas, has just returned and furnishps some information which will no doubt be of interest to every Odd Fellow in the Stotev . The officers elected at the recent meeting were: Charles M. Busbee of Raleigh, N. C, Grand JSire; C. L. T. Campbell. London, Ontario, Deputy Grand Sire; Theodore A. Ross, Colum bus, O., Grand Secretary; Isaac A, Shep pard of Philadelphia, Grand Treasurer; Allen Jenckles of Columbus, O., Assist ant Grand Secretary; Rev. J. W. Vena ble of Hopkinsville, Ky., Grand Chap lain, John A. Parkins of Chelsea. Mass , Grand Guardian; W. H Frazier of Washington, D. C, Grand Messenger; A. C. Cable of Covington, Ky., Grand Marshal. The annual increase in subordinate membership is larger than that of the preceding year, and the aggregate in crease within the past two years is great er by many thousands than that reported for a similar period during the past twenty-six years. The advance in revenues is in ratio with that of the numbers; and the ex tensive expenditures for relief of vari ous characters, through their vastness, indicate the vigor, health and liberality of the Older. The Patriarchs Militant have in creased steadily, and such closely frater nal and display element has advanced in popularity all as shown by detailed reports. The Rebekah Degree Lodges have grown with even a greater ratio of in crease than indicated by the growth of the other distinct elements of the frater nity, and through means of additional numbers, moneys and social influences have contributed much toward the gen eral prosperity of the Order. The Order generally is in a most flourishing condition, and is steadily in- . t creasing in popularity ana numDers every day. NEW BUILDING AND LOAN ASSO'N. Organized and Beady for Business. The shareholders of the Wilmington & Seacoast Building & Loan Association met at the Orton yesterday afternoon and completed their organization.

The following synopsis of the new law providing for the registration of voters, prepared for the Goldsboro Dispatch by a lawyer of that town, and to which we make two important addi tions, will be found useful both to regis trars and voters: 1.

The registration books shall be kept open for registration from sunrise to sunset each day, except Sundays, from the 20th day of September to the 24th day of October, 1890, inclusive, and no registration will be allowed after the last named day, unless the voter shall, have become qualified, by becom ing of age, since the closing of the registration books, as above provided. 4. On Saturday, October 25, 1890, it shall be the duty of the registrars and judges ot election to attend at the . poll ing places of their townships, or pre cinct, with the registration books, from 9 a. m. till 5 p. m., when and where the registration books shall be open to the inspection of the voters, and objections to voters shall then be made,"and the word "challenged" noted on the books, and a time and place before election day shall be appointed to hear such chal lenges, upon giving notice to the person challenged.

The residence of a married man shall be where his family resides, and that of a single man where he boards and sleeps, and should he stay in one precinct and board in another, his residence shall be where he sleeps. And if an elector has previously been registered in any ward, precinct or town, ship in the county, he shall not be allowed to register again, until he pro cures a certificate o fthe register of the former township, ward or precinct, that he has removed from the same, and that his name has been erased from the reg istration books of said'; ward, township or precinct. And the identity of any person claim ing a right to be registered in any pre cinct of the same county by virtue of such certificate, with the person therein named, shall be proved by the oath ot the claimants, and, when required by the registrar, by the oath of at least one other elector. 6.
