LOCAL MATTER.
E. C. WOODSON, City Editor
U. S. Circuit Cotjkt. Court mot
yesterday morning at the usual hour.
The case oi A. II. Sw'asey vs. , the N.
C. R R., was resumed. The plaintiffs'
councel made application for an order
of the Court, to be -directed to the
proper officer of the Railroad, to issue
certificates ot stock (30,000 shares) of
the States' interest and that said certi
ficates be placed in the hands of 8. F.
Phillips, Esq:, Receiver, to abide the
further order of the Court: Messrs. B.
F. Moore and W. II. Battle argued
against the motion, but it vias allowed
by the Court. A. 8. Merrimon, of coun
sel for the plaintiff, gave notice of a
motion, to be hereafter made for an
order ot sale ot said stock.
The Court took a recess until 3 p.
m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Court convened at half past three
o'clock. The entire session was con
sumed in the trial of Windley vs. Brad
way and Pettitt. Battle & Son for
plaintiffs and Busbee & Busbee for the
defendants. Upon the conclusion of
x the testimony the Court adjourned un
til Monday at 10 a. m., when the case
will be argued. The case is of consid
erable intetest involving the proceeds of
sale of a vessel attached at Washington,
N.C. . .
The New Gas Company. A visit
yesterday to the new gas manufacturing
establishment of Messrs. BrewsterTheirn
& Co., satisfied us that the right men
are at the helm ot this important enter
prise, and success must necessarily fol
low. Fourteen hands are now employed in
the manufacture of tatks.and yet orders
are on file in the office for seventy-two
over the number bow ready. The light
and works are on exhibition at the stores
of Messrs. Brewster, on Hargett 6treet,
aad-Tbiem on Fayetteville,and at either
place its opeiation, cost, Jcc, ..will be
explained to all who may wish to see it.
Towns, villages, schools, churches,
factories, or even private country resi
dences, can, m our opinion, save money
by the use of this gas, which is equal to
the coal or rosin gas made in any city.
The proprietors claim for it a superiori-'
ty over any other gas made, as there is
no smoke from it. We shall take occa
lion to refer to this enterprise at another
time.
Supreme Court. Yesterday the
Court met at the usual hour. Ail the
Judges present except Judge Boyden,

win et al, Cumberland: B. & T-. C.
Fuller for plaintiff and W. A, Guthrie
lor defendants.
State vs. Gilbert Evans, Cumberland
, Attorney General Hargrove for the State
and J. W. Hinsdale tor the defendant.

Dr. Nortiirop. Tois eminent di
vine and zealous laborer in the cause of
popular education, arrived in this city
un yesterday evening, and, as previous
ly announced, will occupy the Presby
terian pulpit this morning. We hope
our citizens will bear in mind that he
lectures at night in the Baptist Church,
- Jefpre a union of the various relig
ious denominations ot the city, on
the "Religious bearings of Education,".
and on Monday evening in Metropoli
tan Hall, on "The Schools of Europe."
I hese lectures will be highly entertain
ing and instructive, and we bespeak for
hitn a large attendance from all classes
ol our citizens. When it is remembered
that he visits us to promote the estab
bailment of a first class pubiic school in
this city, we doubt not he will have the
hearty co-operation of every person in
our midst who have the best interests of
the rising generation at heart.
" Pkof." Blair. This ubiquitous
individual had Scott Brown, barber, ar
raigned before the Mayor yesterday
morning on the charge of robbery and
assault, ine cnarge or robbery was
not sustained, but in fact ridiculous, as
Blair was known to be in a state of ut
ter impecuniosity. That Brown had
"gone tor him" was apparent from a cut
on the forehead. No direc evidence
a3 to the assault was produced, though
the Mayor felt himself compelled to fine
Brown $o and costs. Hon. Sion II
Rogers appeared for Brown and W. II.
Pace, Esq., represented the "Professor."
Scott Brown has always borne a good
character and no one believes him to
have been in fault in this instance.
Blair has been published in a number of
papers in this State as a swindler.

Trinity Commencement. Last Tues-

., t - . -.. - m . -. f
the commencement exercises at Trinity
College, and after a very pleasant jour-
ney, arrived cn the grounds Wednesday
morning iust in time to hear the excel-
lent annual sermon, preached by Rev.
F. M. Kennedv. editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate. Macon. Ga., from
Ephesians VI : 14, "Stand therefore,
having your loins girt about with truth,
and having on the breastplate of right
eousness." The summons is spoken of
by all in the most commendable terms,
as the best and most appropriate to the
occasion lever heard. But to give a
correct idea of the exercises, we must
go back a little.
On Sunday the 18th at 11 o'clock, A.
M.t the sermon before the Theological
Society was preached by Rev. M. L.
Wood, Presiding elder of the Salisbury
District.
Monday evening, declamations by the
Freshman Class, and Tuesday evening
declamations by numbers ot the Sopho
more Class. Ot these we cannot speak
except from hearsay, and what we know
is flattering to. the young men and to
the institution, but we prefer not to.
particularize.
Wednesday, at 21 o'clock, P. M., the
literary address was delivered before
the two societies by J. Barron Hope,
Esq., of Norfolk, Va and it was a rare
literary treat, one that should be heard
or read; to be appreciated. Rich in
thought' beautiful, in lact elegant in
diction land sound in principle. We
must confess our inability to give any
idea ot the pleasure with which we as
tened to the gifted author and orator.
It was a comparison of the cold, austere
and calculating .naterial progress of the
ISorth and the social school of the
South, and we are happy to learn it
will be published by the Society whose 1
privilege it was to select the speaker
privilege it was to select the speak
this year. j
At 8 o'clock, p. in., the two Societies
were represented bv speakers from the
Junior Class, N. W. Young, of Olin,
Hesperian; and B. F. Long, of Graham,

themselves well, a:d after them the ad
dress to the Alumni was bv T. R. Pur

Thursday wa9 commencement day
proper, and in a very few minutes after
the doors w;ere opened, the Chapel was
full, many finding it impossible to find
seats. The gentlmanly and urbane
marshals and managers were very at
tentive, and every foot of space was
made available with a quiet system and
order that Would reflect credit upon
much older men. There waa an tbsence
ot the rush and push U3ual in large as
semblies. Without confusion,, the
visitors were arranged sitting or stand
ing to the best advantage, and at the
appointed hoiur the exercises ot the day
begun with vocal music, by the choir.

proud of such young men, and Trinity
of her new Alumoi.
At night the college was thrown lopen
and a large company of ladies and gen
tlemen thronied the hails, while the
Salisbury Brass B ind discoursed sweet
music. We do not know it, but we
thought there was a little love whisper
ing going on, and we weie lorcibiy re
minded ot the time when -we were
younger than we now are. Everything
passed off satisfactorily, and we heard
none but expressions of having had a
"good time."

Trip to Montreal.- M., V'B. Gil
bert, Esq., who represented the Typo
graphical Union of this city at the re
cent session of the International Typo
graphical Union at Mortreal, furnishes
us with the following sketch of his trip:
" Leaving Raleigh on the 28th of May,
a pleasant ride took the writer to Ports
mouth, where he stepped aboard the
steamer for Baltimore. The Louisiana
is a fine steamer and the tables are sup
plied with food fit for the goda. The
pleasant chit-chat and the conversation
of more depth is listened to until the
time for retiring comes.
The Monumental City is reached, but
the stay here is short, and soon the train
is at Philadelphia. The old State-
house was visited. The bell which was
rung on a certain memorable occasion
was closely -inspected. Mr. Menamin
and his ' gentlemanly salesmen were
kind, likewise others of the craft.
The steamer "City of New York"
makes the run from the metropolis after
wnica B?e was Dame(? to -New London,
Conn., during the night, and here the
cars of the Vermont Central are taken.
The scenery of Vermont is grand.
Pretty towns sleep in valleys; back
grounds of mountains make tall spires
appear low, and the good-sized building
not much larger than the martin's home.
Refreshments are taken at St. Albans,
industrious New England girls the gany-
mede.
The border is reached, and the cus
toms officer performs his delicate duty of
"going through" your baggage. The
lady's answer, that she has nothing sub
ject to duty, will save her trunk from
an overhauling.
Montreal is a beautiful city, of about
160,000 inhabitants, with 10.000 excess
of females. There are church accom
modations for 60,000, and more church
es erecting. Cathedral Notre Dame is a
fine edifice, while the beauty of some of
the Jesuit churches cannot be told.
All the Protescant denominations have
their houses of worship as well. There
is a monument, surmounted by a statue
of Nelson, commemorative of the vic
tories achieved by the great Admiral
the defeat ot the Danish Line moored
for the defence of Copenhagen, and
other triumphs of British arms,
closing with that of Trafalgar,
where Death demanded a victory,
and took the trallant Lord.
A statue of Victoria stands in a public
square bearing the name of the Queen.
There is considerable trade with the
States, while the wharves are lined with
foreign shipping. Manufacturing is
carried on to a great extent, thereby
giving emplojment to large numbers of
girls. Th sJtore3 and residences, like
u,v,OQ 0Q cti
the churches, are handsome and costly.
The ladies generally are good looking
some beautiful ; all present a healthy
appearance, owing to the cold and
bracing climate, the winter lasting six
months. Victoria Bridge, one ' and a
quarter miles in length, is one of the
attractions of the city. Large steamers
pass under" this great work, which
makes an unbroken line of rail for many
hundreds of miles.
The capital ot the Dominion is Ot
tawa. The people have protection at
but little cost ; they are sovereign to a
great extent, the Governor-General hav
ing but little to recommend to Parlia
ment. The government is a mixture ot
forms, a little of the republic and a
little of the monarchy. When one is
appointed to office he must go before
his people and stand the chances of an
election. It not confirmed by the elect
ors the appointment is void. There
are qualifications for electors to be as
sessed for $200 to vote at some elections ;
$300 at others.
The International Typographical
Union held its Convention on the 2d
of June. The craft of the city paid
every attention to the delegates. Excur
sions and drives afforded all fine oppor
tunity for viewing the beautiful scenery
round.
Returning, the fine towns ot Norwich
and New London, in Connecticut, were
visited, the printers of the former doing
too much for their brethren. Of New
York, nothing need be said justice
could not be done. The kindness ot the
printers, the visit to Central Park, the
excursion. &c will long be remem
bered.
Our Churches To-Day .Divine

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
Gen. Sherman Interviewed on the
. Modoc Question He Sayeth a
Piece.
New YoRK.June 14.-General Sherman
had a conversation with a reporter last
eveing and is made to say ol Oen. Oavis,
concerning his indictment ot Captain
Jack, and his preparations for hanging
him and - some of his associates. .1
the statement is l correct there
ia no doubt that General Davis
must have exceeded his duty and
he would have been responsible for
his acts. He should be guided by mil
itarv rules and the law. We nil know
they are murderers the President him
self savs they arc murderers ; and ha
General Davis shot them while they
were being pursued I do not think he
would have exceeded his duty. lu
he did not do this, and could no
afterwards shoot them in cold blood
Gen. Davis' report to Generals Schofield
and Sherman it is said may differ from
that nublished in the papers. Davis is
too experienced n uuiucr iu u no
thing that would bring odium upon the
army or lay himself open to military
court-martial for exceeding his duty hs
an officer. The General thinks there
will be no difficulty about deposing of
the Modocs under arrest, those found
guilty ol murder will be hanged or
shot, and it is proved there was an
agreement for a general uprising among
the tribes, others will receive some pun
ishment as a warning to the Indians.
He remarked, however, that it was a
pity that the guilty Modocs were not
shot at first, then all this Commission
business and expense would have been
avoided. As to the killing already of

A Wholesale Murder Frustrated.
Nashua, N. H., June 14. At Hud
son, N. H., Henry Jewett, 25 years of
age, has been endeavoring to force his
suit with Miss Ella Wood, a daughter
of Charles Wood, Esq. Miss Wood re
jected his offer of marriage and her pa
rents also opposed it. This morning
Jewett visited Miss Wood and pulled
from his pocket a six-shooter, aimed at
her head and fired, the ball entering her
forehead just above the eye and lodged
under the skin. Miss Wood fell upon
the floor but not insensible, and it is
hoped that the wound is not mortal
Jewett then passed lrom the house to
the yard where he met Mr. Wood and
endeavored to assassinate him. Mr,
Wood caught the enraged man by the
throat and warded off the aim of the pis
tol, and so fortunately escaped. Jewett
then put his pistol to his own ear and
discharged it, the ball entering his head
and causing a wound that must prove
latal. The indications are that it was
Jewett's intention to murder the whole
family.
