WHAT BVUSSHALIi GOTEBN IHJB APPOINTMENT OF DElKGATKSt y According to the Raleigh News Observer's report of the views of the State Democratic Executive Com- HJ-JLOKV W ever in the number of delegates to lilt? OtabC Wlivcubivu. ; v."w " Wake can still send their two or three hundred, each, whilst Orange Granville, Franklin and J ohnston can each send its company o fifties to Raleigh as they have done ; and thna swpII the number as has been the case heretofore. The News- Observer says: j "We are informed thai we mistook the meaning of the resolution adopted by the State Democratic Executive i Committee in reierence to represenutuouiu cam wu-, ventions. The object Of the resolution is not to limit the number of ; delegates, but merely to fix the vote to which each county shall be entitled, we; regret mat we mis construed the meaning' of the resolution.. There is no' purpose to restrict the counties in sending as .many delegates to the Con vention as may be deemed proper. No change has been made in that regard." We regret to learn that there has been no change. Every one who at- within the last ; ten or twelve years knows how little j of j deliberation there was and how much of dissatis f action existed. The two last Con ventions were fruitful of complaint, and scores of delegates returned to their' homes so much disgusted that they determined never to attend another one. "An ' organized mob" was ! the way , the State body was snoken ofVahd. the manner of ascer taining, elections was roundly ae- nced. It is certain that a change is needed, first as to the size of the body; second, as to the manner of ascertaining who is elected; third, as to open swapping of candidates in convention assembled. But is the report in the News- Ob server correct? We agree with the Oxford JFree Lance in the opinion that our Raleigh' contemporary .'was correct in his first expressed opinion on this matter, and we think that a careful reading of the plan of or ganization adopted by the-Executive Committee two years ago will fully sustain this. opinion." J If the Executive Committee con-1 strue the plan adopted July 2, 1880, differently, we hope it is a false con struction. There was a "demand for achange, , Many papers suggested a limitation of delegates. The Central Executive Committee issued a "Plan of Organization," dated July 2, 1880. This was supplemented on July 12, with some additional rules. These were intended to govern the party throughout the State. We publish the material parts elsewhere to-day, corrected by the supplement. This jUght j to be copied generally with the corrections in the papers, for the guidance of those concerned through out the State. . We find in the "Plan of Organiza- tion" a section devoted to "State Conventions." This section first lays down'a rule to govern the "sev- erai County Conventions in selecting delegates to the State Convention." "What is the rule? We copy the ex act language of the Committee: j "Each county shall be entitled to elect one delegate m ery three hundred Demo cratic votes, and one delegate for. fractions over one hundred and fifty Democratic votes cast therein at the last preceding Gu bernatorial election. In case Any delegate shall fail to attend, he may, by writing, signed i by himself and attested by the chairman of the County Executive Com mittee,! or the chairman of his County Con vention,: appoint his own alternate; and none but delegates or alternates so appoint ed or provided shall be entitled to seats in said Convention : . Provided, always, that such delegates as may be present at any Democratic Convention, shall be allowed to cast the whole vote to which thoir town ship or county may be entitled." Now we are not a disciple of "my Lord, Coke" and of Blackstone, but fwe venture the opinion, according to Jthe known rules for the construction ;of : language, that the above does i'limit" most squarely and clearly "the number of delegates." If it means anything it means that the . Democrats of New Hanover county in convention assembled shall not appoint but "one delegate for every three '- hundred , Democratic : botes,and one delegate for fractions over one - hundred and fifty Demo cratic votes, &c." We venture to : ay that the State over every ordina- Tily intelligent Democrat who reads the "Plan of Organization" will un derstand the above paragraph just as we understand it.HuOTiere yU be confusion, becausejlt js n)Aan nounced - by the , ?ecs- pbserhelHa,t the object of the Stete-cirrmttet- was "not to limit the number of dele gates, but merely, to. fix .the. vote. to fhich e achr county shall be entitled." TafievrancTsaid the object of lan- rruaere was to conceal thoughts . The, Committee. was unfortunate, .yjtejn ployed language that was. misleading, far it eonveyed a purpose not, jntftj ed is The language, if w iplain "c lifce that- 4 Uill. Jfctye, ;but; th rpl ifr pose, according to the New Observer, was precisely : the opposite , of; that which was conveyed by said language. So we confess that as the case stands we are in the condition of those who watcned the snake, as "he .wired in and wired out." .We doJ not know -whether ; New Hanover shall send five ' hundred delegateror only "one delegate for every three hundred Democrats, c."', r 7: . The following also concerns State Conventions:- . "In all conventions thus provided for. by this system after a vote has been cast, there shall be no change in such vote 'until the final result of the ballot shall be announced by the chairman of said Convention; tyi "That all committees shall have the pow er to fill any vacancy occurring in their re spective bodies, i ; -i J iM V i "That for the purpose of more thorough organization, the several County Commit tees are requested to place themselves in frequent communication with this commit tee." ... . -;.-' The first rule adopted here, if we understand it, and if the rule means really what it says, is important in view of the experiences in 1876 and 1880., There is to be no change "of vote after it has beencast "until the final result of the ballot shall be announced by the Chairman of said Convention." If that rule had been in force in 1876, Gen. William R. Cox would now be Governor of North Carolina. We call attention to the regula tions for County Organization and for County Conventions, as corrected by the additional rules of the Central Executive Committee. WILMINGTON AND 89IITBVli.IE V AS StJMMEK RESORTS. If the $140,000 appropriated in the River; and Harbor bill for the im provement of the Cape Fear river from this city to its mouth should pass, and we suppose it will, ; it will guarantee still greater benefits for Wilmington and this section. We suppose by the judicious expenditure of that sum the work of deepening tb'e channel of the river- will be ad vanced considerably. " It is .an - im portant public work and is one that concerns the Government, for what ever j will benefit a section benefits the whole. The improvement of the rivers and harbors is of public utility strictly, and moneys Wisely expended in that direction will be returned in the prosperity of the country. During - the last year Northern visitors to Wilmington have been struck with' the mington and the situation of Wilv Cape Fear river. As they have viewed the river from the highest points north and south of the town, and saw how high and dry the town lay and, how perfect its drainage could be made, as well as the safety from any overflow of the river, they have said that they never saw .so favorably situated a place, and could not see why Wilmington should not. become a large and flour ishing entrepot. . - Other visitors who have been in Florida, .and who have stopped over here for a day or so,- have expressed ; themselves "as charmed with our cli- mate, and say it is delightful to be here : after being - in Florida, A leading ; city physician informs us that he had i conversed with several of these travellers and T they all, said that it Wilmington had the same hotel accommodations that Jacksonville 5 hasrze, locality, &c lhat hundreds of Northern neo- pie would stop here in preference to! going to Flonda. The new hotel at Smithville is a step in the right di rection. I A good bathing arrange ment at Bald Head, with light and. handsome little steamers, to run every thirty,.-minutes, between Smithville and that point, wilL be very inviting and convenient , to visitors. Then there must be at least two fine, large steamers to ply between here and Smithville. We are now looking to the future. ! The .point ; is to make Bald Head the great bathing point in the South Atlantic States. We have heard it said that surf bathing at Bald Head is finer than at Nag's Head, Long Branch".or any other bathing place. By proper adver tising and drumming thousands of visitors each summer can be attracted to Wilmington and Smithville,- Five years ago we advanced these ideas.1 We begin to be in hope now that our. desires will ie gratified in full not injany years hence. ! v : ' The health of Wilmington from year to yeatj wil compare favorably H "Snarly j&vtj city of the(sarae' siz-ef vvjr in j tne united otaies. Thtj mortality i.jnong the whiteV is really nofSgreafer than the mortality of the healthiest towns in the up country. About 14 or 15 in the 1000 inhabitants, ,18 the d&ith rate.for.the whites each yean "whilst "the total, for whites and blacks, is about 20 in the 1,000; inhabitants.1 - '- " The people xf .Wilmington and of the Cape Fear section generally are indebted, to Senator . Ransom ' to a very great exten1Tf for the appropria tions that our river and harbor. have received from ! time to time. It ; is his engineering now that is about to secure" . the . 1 40,009 appropriation ; jttst reported. This should not bo forgotten. "" ' It was Dr. John C. Granberry and not JSL Granberry who was elected Bishop. ' v He t is a native ; Virginian, is a man of the" highest qualities, in tellectual and moral. ' He is one of the best sermonizers in the Southern Methodist phurch.' ; We suppose he is between fifty and sixty years of age.' Dr. Haygood is a superior man also, and is the author of the book we referred to weeks ago entitled "The Brother in Black." Dr. Wil son is not much over forty years of age and has a fine, reputation every way. Of Drs. Hargrove and Parker we know nothing. North Carolina is hot fortunate again it seems. If the late Dr. Numa F. Reid had lived he would have been a Bishop, we feel sure, for in him were united the important qualities that enter into a useful, efficient, capable Methodist Bishop. Anniversary Bennlon. The annual re-union of the Association of officers of the Third North Carolina In fantry took place yesterday, those of the Association who participated in it having spent the day at Greenville Sound, at the residences of Capts. W. A. Cumming and W. II. Northrop. There were fourteen of the members present, of whom three were non-residents, to-wit: Col. Teter Mallett, of New York city, and Maj. W. T. Ennett and Capt. E. Porter, of Pender county. The Association sat down to a splendid dinner, including a plentiful supply of fine oysters, the committee,; consisting of Capts. J. L Metts, R. F.Langdon and W. II. Nor throp, having spared no pains or hesitated at no efforts to make the occasion one of supreme and unalloyed pleasure. . Letters were read during the day from Hon. Jefferson Davisj Gen. W. R. Cox, M. C, Rev. A. DeR. Meares and others, hon orary members. ' A very interesting, and' entertaining ad dress was delivered by Hon. Geo. Davis; and uol. Maiiett ana outers also maae a few remarks appropriate to the occasion. The fact that one member, who had for merly been an active and ! deeply interested participant in these reunions, would never again meet with Jhem on earth, having ."passed over the river" since the last anni versary meeting, served to cast a tinge of sadness upon the festivities of the day; otherwise they were all that could be ex pected or desired. - The members of the Association left the city about 9 o'clock in the morning and re turned in the early evening. Clinton and Point Caswell Railroad. The "Wharf Committee commenced the work of canvassine for subscriptions to the above enterprise Tuesday , morning, and continued their efforts yesterday. So far they have succeeded in ' securing subscrip tions to the amount of between $5,000 and $6,000, which, added to the amount se cured by the up-town committee, makes upwards of $12,000. The Wharf Com mittee will continue their labors to-day, and it is expected that the other committee will also renew their efforts, Condition Improved. ; We are glad to learn, as we do through his son, who was in the city yesterday, that the condition of Mr. Dougald McMillan, who was stricken with paralysis on Friday afternoon last, has much improved, and that he is able to sit up a part of the time. It is thought that the attack will not prove a severe one, Personal. Lieutenant E. L. Wade, of the Revenue Marine Service, has been ; ordered to the cutter ; Colfax, ; stationed here, and has arrived with his family. Owing to the -sickness of Lieutenants Smith and Davis, both of whom are now convalescent, the cutter has been short of officers some time. , Dr. S. S Satchwell, who was in the city yesterday, reports frost in Pender county yesterday morning, but thinks it has done but. little harm. He is under the impression," however, that ' the continued cool weather, experienced, for several days past will have its effect on other things be sides cotton.

Now, a beautiful village stretches along the borders of the Sound, the latter of which is dotted with bath houses, and ; numerous sail boats are always j ready to '! convey visitors to the lovely sandy ' beach that says ' to the billowy ocean "thus far and no farther; here let thy proud waves be stayed." Since last summer tne principal improve ments have been to the places of entertain ment. At Pine Grove, Capt. E. W. Man ning's place,! where about one hundred per sons were comfortably and pleasantly enter--tained on the occasion of the t , late' visit ; by the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows and their friends, there have been very decided im provements, among which we may mention an elegant pavilion, built of wood, with a perfectly smooth floor and seats, where visi tors can congregate on the hot summer days or nights and enjoy the breezes of "old ocean" without let or hinderance; and where, alsoj picnic parties can "trip the light, fantastic," and children can romp to their heart's content Then, there, has been a nice cottage erected on a sec tion of the grounds, somewhat removed from the main building, and additions made to another, while the grounds have been enlarged and improved and seats have been erected in shady localities, to say nothing of the improvements which have been made to the main building. Then.' too, facilities have been provided for the con venience of oyster-eaters, in the shape of two or three furnaces for roasting purpo ses, by which almost any number o f per sons can be supplied with the luscious bivalves without having to wait, as was the case when the former slow process had to be resorted !tos The view from the build ings and grounds is beautiful, and every convenience seems to" have been provided, though Capt. .Manning says he will never cease improving as long as there is any room for improvement. ' " ' " Considerable improvements and additions have also been made to Mrs. Stokley's place; and, in fact everything about the pleasant resort has assumed a more attrac tive appearance. i-;-:H 'f . ' - The Wrightsville turnpike, under the su perintendence of Mr Henry Haar, has kept pace with the sound in the march of improvement, and is now in most excellent condition. ; Mr. Haar keeps strict supervi sion over the road, and has men constantly employed in filling up the holes washed out by heavy rains, in widening the turn pike where it is necessary," keeping the bridges in order and in shelling those por tions of the road which ; are mostly in need of such attention. Under his management the road has been rendered much less lia ble to washouts and their consequent in convenience than formerly, and everything seems to be in excellent trim.; Another building will be erected soon and another gatekeeper stationed on ' the road between the loweftou-house and the sound. . The Masonboro branch j turnpike,; which; has been in use for sometime, but in a state of incompleteness, is - now being finished through to Masonboro Sound with all the SDeed practicable. , and the close of . the present gap will be a source of 'great con venience. . , . , ., The branch to Greenville Sound, hereto- fore alluded to, is also progressing finely,! and shells are already being placed on such, portions of the road as have been properly graded, j The completion of this turnpike will also prove a . source of much conve nience to a great many. : !

'' i' -4rW : .; j '. - (By Telegraph to the Morning Star. j CninLESTOiT, May 16. A decree has been pled in the U. S.

The following is an extract from a letter written to the German Reformed Mttsmger, atChambersburgh, Penn.: : A Bekepaicxbbss. Just open the door for her, and Mrs. Winslow win prove the American Florence Nightingale :i of the Nursery. Of this we are so sure, that we will teach our "Susy" to say, "A blessing on Mrs; Winslow" for helping her to survive and tl escape the griping, eolicking,- and teething eiegei Mas. Wihslow's Soothinq Stbvp relieves the child from pain, andjeurea dysentery and diarrhtiea. It softens the goms,reduces inflammation, enreswind colic, and carries the infant safely through the teething period. It performs ureoiselv what it professes to perform, every part of it nothing less. We have never seen Mrs. Winslow know her only through the preparation of her "Soothing Syrup for Children Teething.' If we had the power we would make her, as she is; a physical saviour to the infant race.

Richmond 'a Samaritan Nervine. He said that it was In fact a genuine medicine such - a compound as every good physician would prescribe for the disease which it was advertised to cure, r Of course it cost less than any druggist would charge for the same article supplied on a physician's preserip tion, and besides, there was a saving of the doe tor's fee in addition. Moreover, by! buying the drags in suoh enormous quantities, and 'having a perfect apparatus for compounding the mixture, he was not only enabled to get better articles in the first place, but also to present the medicine in better form and at less price than the same preparation could be possibly obtained from any other source. Dr. Richmond has devoted all his energies to the alleviation of human goffering: With this end in view, and with his. whole heart in his great labor for the benefit of the . afflicted, he has achieved marked and merited success. There can be no real success without true merit. That his success is real is evidenced by the fact .that his reputation as a mannd physician does not deteriorate, and the fact that there is a stea dily increasing demand for his Samaritan Nervine proves that it is no nostrum, but a reliable remedy. He has repeatedly informed the public that it is no patent medicine, and no patent has ever been asked for or obtained. Neither does he advertise ; n as a cure-au. . Tnere are hundreds of "diseases .that he acknowledges it will not cure. It may be urged that some of these diseases are 'so widely different that it seems absurd to prescribe the same remedy. . They may differ in svmntoms. vet in character be precisely similar: and then we must take into consideration the fact that reme-; cues may possess various properties.; Thus, some medicines are both tonio and , alterative; others may be tonic and laxative, the properties differ ing according to the quantity administered and the time and circumstance! wbichp lmand Hs employment. ; - . --.-.-i, . : In the manufacture of any pharmaceutical pre paration the purity and strength ot the materials used, and the requisite machinery to be employed. are among the chief essentials.; The firet is in- sured Dy -purcnastng the ingredients :m large quantities, whereby the exercise of greater care in selecting the materials can be afforded; and the second can only be accomplished where the business is sufficiently extensive to warrant a? large outlay of capital in procuring chemical ap- inuai.ua. luene iacis apply witn especial torce to the manufacture of our medicines their quality having been vastlv ImnniTwl .
