There was no meeting of the Board of City Council last night, as announced there would be. There . was no quorum present, Messrs. Bell, Daniels, Harris and Tucker being absent. There is a rumor in the air of an accumulated floating debt against the city. To the People of Craven County.- Under the above caption,- an anonymous and irresponsible cirular, irresponsible because anonymous, was in promiscuous circulation about the streets yesterday. It is entirely proper, at all times, and under all circumstances, for the people to hold their rulers to strict account for their public performance-, but in bring ing serious charges against ofScials those who are cognizant of their shortcomings should make known the facets in a tan gible,' responsible manner. But the author is knowtf, and the charge's are public; let them be met. The following t the circular : In order to convince you that a change in the politics and administration of our country is necessary, attention is re spectfully calltd to gome of the acts of tLe'two o.'J pun its aow in power: 1st. Sometime daring the past twelve month?, s cV.Tla.irv man petitioned to the Board diVGom inisoicners' of Craven coun ty, for exemption from the payment of poll tax, on the ground of his misfor tune in losing one ; leg and part of the other foot in the late war, and having no means of support for himself and family except by his own labor. The petition was refused. ! 2d. The said Board of Commissioners did exempt last year and this, the tax on all county bonds, contrary to law and the decision of the late Treasurer, after the same had been regularly listed by the owners. j 3d. Their Chairman (a Democrat) and their Clerk (a Republican) demanded of the tax payers, for signing the new county bonds, six hundred dollars each, which was very readily granted by tke Board. We now ask the voters of Craven county, if such acts as the above will not stop them from voting with the tworold parties, what will ? New Freight Cabs. The Midland shops are turning" out one new box. a per day. We obserVe that the cc1or adopted is red with whte lettering, which gives a Very showy car. J Appointment of Col. Fowers. Col. Thomas Powers yesterday received an appointment from the Secretary of the Tnasury as Revenue Agnt at large, and will, in a day or two.receive orders assign ing him to duty. The people of New Bernef generally, will be pleased at this an nouncement, but will regret the necessity f&r'his absence on duty in various parts of the country. Col. Powers was sum marily removed from the office of Col lector in this District to promote the canvass of John Sherman for the presi dential nomination in 1880. and our people were all indignant at such treat ment of an officer against whom no charges had' ever been whispered even, although his successor was found a most unobjectionable gentleman, and official, and they will all the more welcome the appointment of Col. Powers to a higher and a better position. : . . EUBANK. On Sunday, November 6th pf malarial fever, Otto Allen Eubank, pon of Lucinda Stanly, born .September 26, 1868. . - Funeral from St. Paul's Roman Cathos lie Church, this Tuesday morning at ten o'clock. Relatives and friends invited to attend. The Sunday Mails. For the, first time in the history of New Berne, thej conveniences and facilities of Sunday trains have been supplied, and ifkept up promises to be of great advantage to the people of this section of the State. But as yet the mails have not been given to the Sundav trains, and it is said to require an order from the Postmaster General, le fore ihe'postm asters will re ceive and deliver mails on Sunday. That course of red tape will probably be gone through with, and if necessary our peo ple will petition the Department for the Sunday mails We also learn that some of the post masters between Godsboro and More head City are opposed to Sunday work, and think the delivery of the mails on that day not only sinful, but wholly un necessary. There are diffe ing opinions upon this subject, alt of which are en titled to the oars'ef respect. But in a country like ours, which tolerates all re ligionsor no religion at all, is populated by people from all countries in the world, and has no God tin its Constitu tion, travel and the diffusion of intelli gence cannot be interrupted one day in every seven without great inconvenience and frequent hardship. People who desire to religiously and in the strictest sense observe the Chris tian Sunday, and feel it to be their duty to do so, should abstain from all manner of labor and exertion on that day, while others who feel differently, and appre ciate their necessity for travel, corres pondeuce and general reading of the news on that day, should nol be hindered or denied the usual facilities now afford ed the world over, either by chartered corporations, the general government, or the scruples of public officia's.
