J acob Thompson, whose seri ous illness at Memphis,' Tennessee, was announced days, since, .is dead. A native of North Carolina, be rose to distinction in, his adopted State, Mississippi, and was Secretary of the Interior in President; Buchanan's Cabinet. He was a man of integrity, of ability and influence, and like so manyj sons of North Carolina who have gone out from her, became a leading citizen and" an active promo ter of good in another State and rose to places of honor and responsibility. Mr. Thompson was not quite 75 years age. We think he was educated at Chapel Hill. A sketch of him that carae! under our eye since the above waB written says: Mr. Thompson was born, in Caswell county, North Carolina, on May 15, 1810, and was educated at the Rtata 1 Tnivprsitv Chanel Hill.

XVI. - The Washington Hatchet pays the following compliment to the able Benior Senator from North Carolina: "Senator Ransom is regarded bv South ern Democrats as having the confidence of President Cleveland and his Cabinet i He is one of the wisest and safest advisers ! the Administration can have from the South. His broad and conservative views on all State and national affaire justly entitle him tofjthe closest confidential relations with the President as an adviser. - - - , - The New York' Times has a proper appreciation of the real merits of Mr. S. S. Cox, and indorses his appoint ment as Minister to Turkey. It says of him: . 1 "There have been no more diligent and few more useful members of the House of Representatives in his own party durinz his long service. His ebullitions and vi vacities of speech have done him an ill turn, as happens to many other men, in ob scuring his solid qualities from the popular vision. If he had been more of a prig he would have been more seriously considered as a statesman. As a matter of fact, how ever, there are few members of Congress .who bring to an important discussion so thorough and conscientious a preparation as it has been Mr. Cox s habit to make. ' r- It is often dangerous to be bril liant and full of fun. Oar own Vance Buffers in the ' estimation of men of solemn visage and owl-wise look be cause he will have his jokes and does not carry a tombstone "face. There are few men in Congress who equal Cox and Vance in brains. : The Burlington (Vt.) IVee Press, published . at the home of Mr. E. J. Phelps, says of the appointment: "We trust that Mr. Phelps will accept the place. It is one which, aside from its rank, would better suit his tastes and train ing than the Italian or any other, foreign mission In ability, cultivation, courtesy, and high breeding he is equal to the: place, and will fill it, we are sure, with dignity. capacity. and success, though it has been occupied by such men as Charles Francis Adams, Hamilton Jfisb, John Ixthrop Motley and James Kussell .Lowell. The New York World of the 27th says of Minister Phelps: j ; Perhaps after Mr. Edmunds, the leading Republican in Burlington said to me yes terday: "I vc;., ' . " 'After Mr. Edmunds retired from general practice Mr. Phelps was univer sally conceded to be the ablest lawyer in Vermont. - 'r "This seems to be, in fact, conceded without question.

One Negro Boy Kills Another with Rock. Yesterday evening about 7 o'clock, while a crowd of young colored men and boys were standing about the; southeast corner of Sevenths aadUAnn . stieeta, a difficulty arose between two of the number John Carver and Walter Johnson both aged about eighteen years. . A wordy iwarf are progressed for some time, when Carver said to Johnson "If you want anything out of me come on": Johnson, retorted. "If yon want anything out of me come on.' Johnson then advanced a step or two and struck Carver with his fist. The parties separated, and " shortly after., while Johnson Was standing with one foot on the step of Mr. Bornemann's store, on the cor ner, a rock was thrown by Carver, which struck Johnson on the side j of the neck. ; The - blow , was ; fatal, i jfor ac cording to the testimony of eye-witnesses Johnson fell to the ground and died with out a groan. . Carver ran, after throwing the rock, but was pursued and soon captured by some of the colored men present, and was by them given into the custody of the police. In the meantime, one of the wit nesses of the homicide went to the City I Hall and ; reported the affair. Chief of Police Brook immediately sent out special officers to arrest Carver, and went himself, in company with Dr. Potter, to Seventh and Ann streets where the fatal affray occurred. He found Dr. Peck- ham, Surgeon of the Marine Hospital, and Dr. Ellis present. Although no regular examination of the body of Johnson was made, it was apparent that the neck was broken. . The body 'was removed to the house of some relatives! of the dead boy' on Ann between Sixth and Seventh streets, where the inquest will be held to day. Carver was taken to the 'City Hall by the police and locked up in a cell. Education at Rocky Point. .

WILMINGTON, N. C, FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1885. Tho CUT Election. - . . - - -1- An election for members of the Board of Aldermen for the various wards of the city of 'Wilmington was held yesterday. No one not knowing the same, however, would ever have suspected ; the fact !; Our city has generally been noted for its quiet elec tions, but this was exceptionally: so. In the Second, Third and Fourth Wards the voting was SU one way, the Republicans- having no ticket out; while in the First and Fifth, the Republican strongholds,.: the Democrats didn't have much of a showing, many of them haviag failed to register.

This well known officer of - the Revenue Marine service, who was recently assigned to duty on the Revenue Steamer Woleott, Port Townsend, Washington Territory, reached his destination on the 13th inst., ' and in a letter to a friend in Wilmington mentions some incidents connected with his new station, which will not be without interest to many of our readers.- We ex tract as follows: , - 'I arrived at San Francisco in due time. Had a very pleasant trip of seven days. Left San Francisco by steamer on the 7th of March, and after a pleasant trip of six days arrived at Port Townsend, Washing ton Territory.

The Secretary was in structed to write at once and request a copy of the resolutions of the naval stores trade of New York, in order that such ac- .ion may I be taken as shall be deemed proper. Much indignation was manifested by the Board of Managers at the unfounded charge thus published to the world by the New York trade, and it appeared to be the disposition of the board to take prompt ac tion in the premises. The Bird Itw. As there seems to be a misunderstanding in regard to the bird law as it now stands, we have examined the captions of the public acts of the Legislature, passed at the recent session, and find that the old . law, which applied to the whole State, has been changed so as to exempt from its provisions the following counties:' Clay, Cherokee,' Jackson, : Swain, Macon, Graham, John ston, Tyrrell, Dare, Onslow, Carteret, Jones and Columbus. "With this excep tion, the old law is still in operation, and the close season begins April 1st 'and ends October 15th. - - " Foreign Shipments. The following comprise the foreign ship ments from this port yesterday : The British brig Minatitlan, Capt. Fournier, for Gonaives, Hayti, by Messrs.

The prisoner arrived on the steamer Louise and was followed to the jail, where he is to be temporarily confined, by quite a crowd, who were attracted by the fact of his being securely tied, i , The Wilmington and Onslow uau- road. . .A meeting of the corporators of the Wil- minirton.

The document, which made its first apt pearance yesterday, bears the heading and is numbered "Report 577. Part 3." The members of the committee were at a loss to understand! how this document of which none of them had ever heard before, could have worked its way- through the secre tary's office, where alone the formal headl ines are affixed. The clerk.-whose duty it is to record and to put heads upon docu ments of this character, as they are received from the Senate, being called upon to ex plain, said that the paper had never passed through his hands. The manuscript havf ing been sent for, was found to have been received from another clerk in the secre tary's office, whose duty it is to do such extra work as may be required by commit-, tees and Senators at the Government Print ing Office,; and- it was also found that an order for two hundred extra copies for the use of the committee accompanied it This blerk explained that the paper was brought to his desk on March 16th of this year, by the late clerk of the commit tee on Post'Offices and Post Roads, bearing the usual I Senate heading, in . due form, with an order for two hundred extra copies to be printed for the use of the committee. The printing clerk supposing the docu ment to have passed through the regular channels, land the order in itself being a proper one; sent the manuscript . to. the printing office, where, it was set up and printed, i - - '' . : " :. - The document is entitled "Report on Postal Telegraph. In the Senate of the United States." The first five pages con sist of questions propounded to tho Presi dent of the Western Union Telegraph Co, and the remaining thirty one pages are de voted to press comments on the Associated Press, and reports of the Presidential elec tion. It is not intimated that any of the questions to the President of the Western Union were answered ; nor does the docu-4 ment state any reason for the republication of attacks upon the Associated Press.which are in a large part from the columns of pa pers which have never been able to secure the facilities of the Associated Press. A line of printed heading indicat es that the document is printed under authority re ceived May 27, 1884, six months before the publication of the press comments which form its chief part. ?J t j f f h .

The statement of Sen tor Hill, "publtshed to-day inadis patch from Denver, denying the responsi bility for the spurious ; report issued from jthe government printing office" as a report from the Senate committee on Postofflces j and Postroads, and asserting that the only report he ''(Hill) ever ordered printed Was Ithat of the committee . of - investigation printed ia the summer of 1834. was shown this afternoon to the late clerk xt the com' mittee, who was also private secretary of its chairman. Senator Hilt - This gentle-: man, ; though - rather reluctant to i sub-, mit to the interview, said in reply to direct interrogatives,: that1 he ; had given the Order for the printing -"matter in question, and had done so by direction of Mr. Hill. He gave the order on . the 13th or 14th of this month, arid had received in structions from Mr. Hill to do so . about a month before. He (the clerk) assumed responsibility for the delay of a month.' Regarding the material contained in the report the Clerk said he had himself copied the questions propounded to the President of - the Western ' Union - Company, but.': had received the newspapers clip pings,', of which . four fifths ; of; the spurious - report consisted,.' from Sen tor Hill himself. Mr. Hill denies that he ordered any extra copies to be print ed. The ex clerk admits having received, the day before yesterday, 150 of the 200 ex tra copies ordered by him for the use of the committee, and says he took them to the folding-room to be folded. "To be folded and directed to whom?" he was asked... "lo be folded in blank," he answered. The ; gentleman declined to i state - to whom copies of the spurious document were to be sent, and declined to answer any further interrogatories. Members of the " Senate committee, whom some one, apparently acting through 8enator Hill, intended to make responsible in part for this - spurious publication, are exceedingly indignant They instituted the investiga tion entirely or their own motion, and have given orders at the document rooms that no more oi tne documents snail be given out to any one.

It is a great thing to have the mastery or one s powers. To speak naturally is to speak with ease to one's self as well as with pleasure to his hearers. The men who never break down are not the men who use twice as much voice as is needed and twice as much gea-. ticulation.
