DEMOCltATIC ROUTE AGENTS.
It seems as if the Postoffica Depart
ment, has fully determined to place the
mail carrying business in the south en
tirely in the hands of the' Democratic
party. We are reliably informed that
out of twelve appointments made re
cently in the vicinity of Atlanta, Ga.,
nine of them were appointed for Gen.
Gordon and the Georgia Democratic
delegation in Congress?. We suppose
the Republican party will have to sub
mit to the outrage, but we can tell Mr.
Thompson or whoever is responsible
for this outrageous conduct that there
will be a time when the wrath tf a just
people will reaoh him. In the wean
time we advise Republicans (unless
there is a change in the action oi'lhc
Postoflice appointments,) to hold meet
ings and pass resolutions denouncing
it, and send them to the President of
the United States and see if the slights
and treatment that the Republicans
have received cannot be remedied. Wc,
believe the Postmaster General will
Hake hold of the matter and see that
the .'Republicans have, their just dues
when his attention is called to it, but
if he will not then the President should
be 'appealed to direct.

I (JEN. HAW LEY'S ADDRESS.
We publish below the most significant
portions of the address of Gen. Joseph
T . Ilawley of Connecticut, at tlie re
union of the Society of the Army of the
Potomac at the late meeting of the
Grand Army of the Republic. We
i arree entirely with the sentiments of
Vthe whole ppeech, and hope soonlo see
the time when our Army and Navy
shall receive better;, treatment from
Congress:
Within 15 years after the close of the
tremendous 'war, it may appear super
fluous to insist upon the great duty of
L maintaining a thoroughly educated, dis
ciplined, trained, effective National
Army. The " reduction of our Army
from a million or more men in arms to
50,000, 40,000, 30,000, and 25,000 is one
of the marvels ot modern history, jc is
lio less, strange to find in the public
prints and in the halls of legislation,
sometimes among tboughUul, well-read
men, the suggestion, if not the belief,
that still further reductions might, and
f they might, that they ought to be,
made. Those who recklessly declare
that we have no need whatever of any
Armv are not worth recardiojr as an
element in the discussion. It is alto
gether childish to prophesy that we are
never to have war with, any foreign
power.. It is almost equally foolish to
pay that we need not continue any pre
cautions arrainst. civil war, It is good
to believe that the world has made some
progress toward peace, but the spirit of
lpjUSUCe Uaa UVi auucmci utnvu
fmm nations, nor has arbitration be
come an accepted remedy for interna
tional controversies. Our situation re
duces largely the probability ot war
with the greater powers i ine eartu,
but doea vnot destroy the possibility.

can be but the nucleus of a very much

wisely Jorbidden by the Constitution to
maintain standing armies, but it is
right, for many reasons, that they should
make it their constant policy to maini
tain a well-organ izea and effective
JMihtia.
What I have saia of the necessity of
a constant state of preparation applies I
with even greater iorce to the Navy
than to the Army. The fighting ships
of modern times cannot be ? extern- r

We must maintain a Navy and vet the I

that the best known vessels and ord- J
nan - c in the world could be summoned I
to c rvice with the day and night energy
of our large manufacturers, must be, to
a large extent, our substitute for a full
Navy.
The armed forces of the country, the

of an ambitious General, could over

within the limits of possibility, and if
we may 'judge of the future by the past,
there is even less likelihood that any
great American soldier will ever under

upon our liberties from any army that
America will ever organize. The high
aim of the soldier is subordinate to tne
civil authority, and if lie indulges in
ambition outside of his profession, it is
stimulated by the example oi the gen
erous confidence and high reward given
many of his predecessors. Washington.
Jackson, Harrison, Taylor and Grant,

Alarmed still at her appearance, he

We stood at an open window
Leaning far over the sill.l
' And if something hadn't happened
We might have stood there still; ;
But we reached for a banging shutter
In a blinding northeast breeze,
So our friends will haye to be Invited
To join in the obsequies.
IF WE COULD ONLY HAVE KNOWN
. what a storm was brewing (in a teapot),
and bow far off that shutter was, we should
never have ventured our head outside of
that window; but it is too lato lor regrets
now; we, aro nonplussed, completely 1
squelched, have been sat upon, and our '
friends and the public, generally are re
spectfully invited to attend the obsequies on
SATTJRTO AY NEXT
and we stake our reputation on Its beicg
the grandest funeral they ever witnessed
Ashe sitpa he slides, and every time he
slides he slips up most woefully. We leave
ourMklnd friends" to find out the meaning
of the above, and while they are doing so
we will ask the following questions:
Havn't we the ugiiestand dirtiest store in
the State?
' Havn't we tho poorest stock of goods In
Wilmington? v .
- ' '
Havn't we made prices much higheslnce
we commenced?
Havn't we been very unaccommodating
and impolite to you?
Havn't we charged you for all -lie goods
delivered? , . . i
Havn't we made a great many mistakes
and refused to correct them when our atten
tion was called thereto?
; All of our friends who answer Vyes" io
the above questions will please not buy from
us any more. RespeStfally and truly.

In glancing over last Sunday's paper we
regretted to notice the tacit ackuowled g
ment from some of our brother grocers that
we had taken away part of their trade, and
making an appeal to the others not to leave
them We regret this exceedingly, especial
ly as they were so kind and .consideraie
about our coming to grief, but suppose, aa
we have determined to do the .
LARGEST RETAIL GItOCEKY

future bare to keep from lieiug ho tender

The OLD. CAPE FEAR is flourishing

We have been over and smoked that
"Cigar of Peace." (a fine Havana it was),but
still think it would be bad policy to stoj
lurnishing the papers with our fine literary
productions, as they have the tendency t
keep prices very low, which we, of course-,
with allother good grocers, desire; only
want enough left to pay for clerk's hirof
store rent and taxes. :

N0T PURITANICAL.
Although opposed to the drinking ot
Liquors, P. L. BltlDGERS fc CO are not
puritanical enough to refuse to sell them,
as they think no FIRST. CLASS GROCERY:
STORE can afford to be without; but they
promise the ladies that they would ncyer
And out there was any on the premises, as
it must be taken elsewhere to be arunk.
