!; The rumors of fights and divisions in
the Republican party ot this state, put
in circulation and kept goin by the
Democratic newspapers, arc entirely
without foundation. Republicans were
never in a better and more solid condi
tion than t hey are to-day. We all have
our opinions (and not be;ng run like
the Democratic party, by the one man
power)- w& express them, but when the
man is chosen to be the leader of our
next ticket we shall all fall in. ranks
ir.d support him to victory. Democrats,
put that, in your pipes and smoke it.
The- Democratic papers, seem to be
very anxious to find a split in the -Republican
party in Noith Carolina. Wc"
can tell ihcin one thing: the Republi
cans will have their -individual, prefer
tcccs, but when, the nominations are
once made, thei party will support the
nominees solidly, and that; North Caro
lina wjll again be enrolled among Re
publican states in 1880.

a jokey had the ladies been free, proved
a utost dismal business. At first they
tiiought the cud had come, but when
it was discovered to be only a piece of
coarse pleasantry there was a scene.
Half of the "younger women fainted

therefore, proved a failure, and he was

Mr. Wm. V. Turner has commenced

at Raleigh, called 'the North Carolina
.Republican. The advance sheet of the
paper came to hand on Friday last :
but he will commence publication t re
gularly ou thefirsl of August ; it will
be a weekly paper and the subscription
price will be two dollars, an amount
"within the reach of any man, and we
hope he will receive the full support of
the Republicans, of the state.
Mr. Turner is now in our city in the.
interest of his paper, we recommend
him to our people." We would be gtad
to see h?m have a thousand subscribers
in Wilmington.
or Mr. Chadbourn, we care not. The
excursion boat was allowed the privilege
of the government wharf and .grounds
through the courtesy of the Command
ing officer of the post, at Smitliville,
and, yet, when one of the officers desired
to come up on the boat, having been
ordered to the- Pacific coast, he was
refused. .
We are requested, to state that Mrs.
NQff, the wife of Hon. Joseph H. Neff,
a prominnent Republican of this city ;
was at Smithviile, and the larger part
of the excursion party took dinner at
the same hotel that Mrs.; Neff was
stoping at, and that at dinner Mrs.
Neff asked if she "could come up on the
boat," the answer was "that it would
be exceedingly pleasant to have her do
so." At 3 o'clock Mrs. Neff went down
to the wharf, intending to come up,
not supposing after the conversation at
dinner that there would bo any
objection, but, when she got
within 10 ot 15 paces of the
boat Mr. Fred Robinson jerked in
the gang plankj greatly to her surprise
and mortification. When Mrs. Neff
get near the boat Mr. Fred Ifashagcn,
who had not seen Mr. Robinson take
in the gang plank, attempted to put it
down so that Mrs. Neff could come on
board, but Mr) Robinson shoved him
away and told nim to please attend' to
his own business, ,
The information concerning who
were the responsible parties we got
from Mr.: Geo. j ChacUbourn; the
information concerning the very bad
treatment of Mrs. Neff is from another
but perfectly reliable party. As an apol
ogy to an intelligent community, who
inherit greater courtesies than exclu
siveness, it has been stated that any
increase to the number.on board would
have incommoded those of the original
party. If this is so, the U. S. Inspectors
of steam vessels should be looked after,
for they have certified, that there are
ppmfortahle space accommodations for
two hundred and fifty passengers "on
the "Passpfcrt," not including the pilot
house, engine room, gallery, and other
spaces which are not measured for oe

THE FATAL QUARREL,
which occurred on the 19ih day of last
December. On that day, according to
tho testimony adduced at the trial,
John Davis, accompanied I by his
halt-brother, one ' Hill James,
both men Laving been at work a
shoit time for Mr. Peter, Thorp, in Town
Creek, went to Mr. Geo. H. Bellamy's
store, not far from where he lived, for the
purpose of buying soine. soap. From the
store the two went to McDufhVs house
about a half-mile distant, Davis carrying
his gun, a common double-barrel shot-gun
slung acros? his shoulder. They metMc
Duflie in a small potato patch near his
house, and there the two men began to
qu irrel, first, it would appear about cut
ting some wood, and afterwards about a
woman. The lie was passed, Jjut it does
not. appear that auy blows were struck at
the time. The tvo men, Hill James with
them, then wenjton to the house Ar
rived at the house, McDulfia entered and
Davis had h;s foot on the doorstep for the
purpose of following him, when the former
returned to the door from: within the
house, armed with a bar of iron which, it
seems, had been used as a fire poker.
With this bar of iron McDuffia struck Da
vis over the head, making a considerable
wound, one so severe, in fact, that the
blood flowed from it freely. A scuffle
theu ensued , in the course of which Davit
gun was discharged, and the contents en
tered the oof of tbe cabin, just above the
door.' At this point
enterea with tte load into the fatal
wound. '" " .. ' -v -1 '
, A soon as be con Id realize what he had
done Davis threw down the gun and fled'
from the spot. ' He made his way up the
liver.inteading to try and get back to his!
old home, but was captured oa the niaht
of iha murder at Meares Bluff, and was
promptly placed in jail, ' j
The case came on for trial at the last
term of Brunswick Superior Court. Davis
had no counsel aod so the Court assign
ed Ex-Judge Watts and M Bellamy Esq
to the defense. Mr Solicitor . Met vcr ap
peared for the prosecution. The case wa
ably conducted on both sides. The coun
sel for the defense fought hard for a ver
dict of manslaughter, contending that
should not be murder, inasmuch a3 there
was no evidence of a malica prepense in
the affair. But tho Jury did not think so,
and hence a verdect of murder was. the res
suit, a verdict which all who had follow
ed the course of the testimony had good
rason for believing would be the result

he expressed to the visitors some two

the essential ones, for on them hung the
