J. J. Hickman. This distin- guished Temperance lecture arrived in this cfty yesterday afternoon. He comes in the interest ot the Good Templars and will, we learn, visit different points" in the State to establish Lodges of his order. Mr. tlickman is not only pre- poseing in appearance and manner, but is an oratorof ability. We understand that he will be in Oxford on Wednes day evenin Fell in tue Well.

Mr. Winters,the proprietor ol the houses, who is y theXway, a very peacable and high toned citizen, assures the Mayor that he will nt orice have the houses now orenpicd by lewd women vacated. ' RALEIGH; N. 0.. Ye Local in Trouble. In our yes terday's issue we had occasion to use the following local items nnder our head of of "briefs." "Chapin's Escape" is "what's the matter with Ilanner." (This is another goak known only to a few.)" "There are four John W.'s sitting' in close proximity in the State Seriate1, viz: Messrs. Cunningham, Dunham, Nor wood and Ellis. It 13 said by some that they are the finest looking men in the Senate. Wish our conscience could let us say so too." At 10 o'clock vesterday morning our sanctum was infaded by a fierce look ing member of the House, with a coun tenance more in pity than anger, who handed U3 the lollowing communica tion : Raleigh, N. C. Jan., 17th, 1873. Capt. E. C. Woodson Sir : I cannot allow the article in your local column of this morning con cerning the disabilities imposed by one "Chapin's Escape" to pass unnoticed and.for your wanton breach of the "code honorable" in that regard, I do deliber ately challenge ou to mortal combat" with a "quart tickler" of said Escape at your convenience. Signed, "Tns Old Lady Herself." We replied to the "old lady" as fol lows :. My friend Mr. G is authorized and instructed to accent the terma offered in your note, at the earliest prac tical moment. Should the ever occur in the night time, he is. instructed to use a certain box of Harnet t. county "cracklins" to give the necessary light lor the occasion. .Respectfully, &c. We had no sooner disnnspd nf thia " diffikil" than we were waited unon by still a fiercer lookinsr man. with a countenance more expressed in anger than sorrow, who handed us the follow ing note : Yarborougii House, Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 17. 1873. Capt. E. C. Woodson, Sir: I see from the News of thia morning, that you have made some pub lie statements, doinsr great iniustir.n to the personal appearance of certain dis tinguished Senators. As a friend to the gentlemen alluded to. I demand a retraxit, or that you give that satisfac tion due from one gentleman to another. vvna nigh regards, . John W. Smith. N. B. I desire to ask who ronat.itn- ted you a judge of " oersonuel ." unless you presume upon your own pulchri tude, and also by what authority you wear your cravat with the bow to one aiae unless you answer this accord ing to the Code, you may expect to have other John W.'s after you. J. W. S. We read this communication over thp second time. We did not know Smith exactly, and yet the name seemed some wnat laminar to us ; in Inez we were decidedly of the opinion that we had 1 1 A t f nearo. me name oeiore. We answered his communication at once, and smt 'if. by the fierce looking man : JOHN W. smith, Esq:: Sir You must be mistaken, in your man. I cannot conscientious! v claim the title of a gentleman, and never nro- fessed to be one. In regard to your N. B., I will "rise to explain." All the John W.'s have doubtless observed rhnt I wear the style of collar known as the uarroie, ana my narrow black cravat is my time piece. At 8 o'clock A.M., (the hour I rise.-) I Din the cravat to" thp. collar; at 9, the pin is gone; at 10, the bow of the cravat which started in front completes the evolution of a quarter's distance to . the rear ; at 11, it is half way round : at 12. it is three Quarters and so on. makinir acomdete circuit hv my dinner hour, 3 o'clock. It thi3 is not satisfactory, address your next com munication to mv friend Carter. Assis tant Doorkeeper of the House, "who is a gentleman, and will doubtless render you the satisf ictioh you desire. Yours, &C. We felt easv as we handed tho com munication to the fierce man, and while we were indulging in the pleasant med itation of how we had disposed of the troubles that crowded thick and fast upon us, a man more fierce than all the rest, ana whose countenance well, he was awfal madi threw udou our table still another communication, and imme- aiately, lelt the room ; we were rlad of it. It read : Senate Chamber, Jan. 17th, 1873. Srn: The Junior "John W Ur.,rU leave to suggest that "ye local's" refusal to acquiesce in the opinion held as to the pulchritude of the "John W." quar-. tette, arises not from a scruple ot con science, in which article the aforesaid local is notoriously and lamentably de ficient, but from an innate aversion had, and always manifested by said local, to a commodity known as Truth. This man bcinir an entire stranerer to us, we did not deign to reply. We do not recognize him, from the fact that any.asscciation or recognition with such 1 -1 a man wouia prove actnnicmai to our business. We are glud to state that at the pres-. ent writing, the coast is clear, and there is yet a chance left for us to die a natu ral death. Superior Court. The Court met at 10 o'clock. Criminal decket resumed. State vs John Johnson and Anthony Farrar, affray. Defendants submitted. Judgment of the Court that each be fined $5 and costs. State vs William Chavis" and George Curtis, murder. General Cox and F. 1L Busbeejbr the State and Judge Fowle and Gecrge II. Snow lor the defendants. The entire day was consumed in the examination of witnesses. By agree ment of counsel, argument was waived. The Judge delived a brief but elaborate charge, and the case given to the. jury. Verdict not guilty. The contest over the office of Super intendent of Public Instruction is excit ing much interest. We don't intqnd to lerLouisiana and Arkansas go ahead of us in everything. SATURDAY MORNING, TnEO N. Ramsay, Esq. This far famed and well known catnip tea ad vocate has just returned from a very dry sojourn in New York and Washing ton. He is eloquent in his descrip tive conversations of what he saw and heard, but prides himself mostly upon having interviewed President Grant and having caught a glimse of the charming Miss Nellie. Mr. Ramsay i3 an earnest and zealous temperance man, but lacks tact as much as he de spises whiskey. The idea of any one seeking to interest GrantJ in an anti whisky movement 1 Mr. - Ramsay's great modesty prevents him from edi fying his innumerable friends by Re tailing the full particulars of his distin quished reception by Rev. IL Ward Beechcr, Woodhull anck Claflin, Susan Ant'.iony, Jay Gould and the other ce lebrities of the great city. If Mr. Ram say's visit did not exactly amount to an ovation, it Was certainly a success, and we congratulate not only him upon its conclusion, but the entire community. The knowing ones here are confident and emphatic in their assertions that we may soon look for a change in the policy of the administration towards the habitual imbibers. It may be so. but we doubt it. If it comes, wTe are prepared for the worst. The New Hotel at Halifax. The Roanoke News thus speaks of the " Southern Hotel '.' which has just been completed at Halifax, that will add greatly to the appearance and general convenience of that town : " We learn that the new Hotel, at Halifax, is completed and ready for occupancy. It is finished with a special view to comfort, convenience, elegance and safety, and no better chance tor a profitable investment, by a competent hotelist, is, or can bej offered anywhere. We rejoice always at the prosperity of our neighbors, and more particularly do we in the case of Halifax, which, with its age, eligible location and enterpris ingi go ahead citizens, should only be second to the cities of our State. " Kerr Craige, Esq. We heartily indorse the following compliment to this young member of the House, taken from the last number of the Salisbury Watchman : "Kerr Craige, Esq. We are glad to see that this young man is taking that position in the Legislature to wbioh his talents, industry and irreproachable character entitle him. He is perhaps one of the" youngest members in the House, yet he has but few superiors in the possession of those qualities that are essential in the make up of an effi cient and acceptable representative." Unintentional. Our special Ball room reporter in his account ot the Tucker Hall Ball, stated that the supper was gotten up by Mrs. Sorrell, uninten tionally neglecting to state that the Ice Cream was furnished by Mr. Moseley, the well known Fayette ville street con fectioner. Justice's Court. Andy Jones, col., arrested by officer Farris upon a" peace warrant, was brought before Justice Wicker, and bound over in the sum of $200 to keep the peace towards Peter Rogers and the balance of mankind, until the next term of Wake Superior Court. Mayor's. Court. Burwell Perry, arrested upon a requisition from the Governor of Tennessee for stealing in that Stato a bale of cotton, wa3 brought before the Mayor as J. P., and in default ot $1000 bail, sent on to the Superior Court. , A Lively Nuisance. Street beg ging is becoming more prevalent than at any other period in the history of our city, and we really think that some mean3 should be adopted to abate the nuisance. Fire.
