TiLii Thief. A colored sneak-thief ; youth,
aged about 16 years, and named John j Davis,
was arrested on yesterday for stealing the conr
tents of the money-drawer at the confectionery
establishment of Mr. John .Hussey, on Middle
Street. John is is now rusticating (?); at the
Station House, where he will remain until Mon
day morning, when His Honor, Mayor Camp

Dangerous. We call the attention jof our
city authorities to the numerous stovepipes
projecting through the roof of the' People's
Market building. Several of these innocent
cremating nuisances are not Only noticeable up
on the roof of the building, but some Of them
are so imperfect in their construction tnat- we
fear they will do more harm than good i. e.
they may, while cremating the Market premises,
cause the cremation of one or more innocent
structures adjacent thereto. Our City Council
will probably take some action in the matter on
Monday night next. , ' j ; '
Fedeeal Decoration. Quite a large number
of citizens gathered on yesterday at the j graves
of the Federal dead, to pay the tribute of re
spect to those who fell fighting under the flag
of the Federal Union, or perishedby disease far
from their kindred and friends, with none but
i " - - !
a soldier's hand to smooth their dying pillow.
The ; Silver Cornet Band discoursed solemn
music, and the offerings of flowers were 'strewn
upon their tombs. In the presence of the Fed
erai as well as tne tJomeaerate dead, we say
cease then fanatical encroachments upon the
rights of a gallant people, and . let us have
brotherhood and peace. "
Shtp Models. The lovers of Naval Arbhitec
ture can have their eyes gladdened by (jailing
on Mr. J. Havens, corner Craven and South
Front streets, and examining one of the most
beautiful models of a proposed ship that jit has
ever been our happy lot to look upon. This
handsome and trim model was forwarded to our
worthy townsman by those energetic builders
and architects,; Messrs. Rouse & Co., whose rep
utation is world-wide, and whose handiwork
now floats on every sea. V Mr. H. . being a pas
sionate lover of the beautiful in Naval Architec
ture, this may be considered a handsome tribute
to his genius. . M .
. A Change Needed. The time is approach
ing tor Urovernor uaiaweii to maice nis new
appointments of Directors on our railroads, a
matter in which all the people are interested,
but especially interested are we in this section
in the appointments on the Atlantic & North
Carolina Railroad. We would suggest to the
Governor to look around in his party in this
community, if we must have a Republican ofii
cial and see if he cannot find a man for the
Presidency of this line, of more enlarged and lib
eral views than the present incumbent, or 'his
predecessor have shown. The road since 1868 has
been managed in the most - picayune manner,'
and the tariffs of passenger fares and freight
rates have been so exorbitant as to drive the
Eroduce, that would naturally seek a market
ere, to other points, and to compel citizens
along the line to remain at home "unless busi
ness of the most urgent nature compelled them
to travel. Cannot this thing be remedied, Gov
ernor ? We think it can by giving us a man
agement which would rather take one hundred
passengers on its trains at 2 cents a mile,
than eight or ten, which is about the present
average of travel, at over 4 cents a mile, and a
freight tariff which will take the produce Ion the
upper part of the line i over its whole length to
one of our own ports, rather than take it but a
few miles to the Wilmington and Weldon line,
and thence to the Northern markets via Norfolk
and Portsmouth. Think over this matter, Gov
ernor, if you have the welfare of your State at
heart, and if you cannot find such a man as
we have suggested in your own party, let us
know, and we will suggest a dozen or more
gentlemen for the position who will run the'
road with some degree of liberality, and to the
advantage of the State and private stockholders.

that he would not attend, or have, anything to

of time was given, and more delegates attended

the 10th of June is not recognized by the party
of the county, and I don't believe by but one
friend, and they are both two well known to try
and demoralize our party at present. He says:

paper dated
(PoixpKsvrLLE, Jones Co., May 27th, 1874.
Editor Neio JBernidn '.
Deab Sib. In looking oyer your
H. E. F. Perry, of our county: in relation to the
Senatorial Convention which ya s hed at Swans
boro on Wednesday, May 20th. He says that
June the 10th was the time fixed by the proper'
Constitutional authority, and that by some mis-;
take the 20th of May 'was partially understood-
and an informal gathering took place, without
full representation, resulting in the nomination
of Capt. W, T. R. Bell, of Carteret, &c, T
Now, Mr. Editor, for the benefit of all con
cerned, I will show you by what authority the
convention assembled on the 20th of May. In
our County Convention we adopted the time and
place as suggested by the Executive Committee:'
of Onslow County, but our Coinmittee, or Sec
retary, never; notified the Onslow Executive
Committee of the ' fact, and without knowing
that Jones County had adopted the time and
place as suggested by her, the Executive Com-'
mittees of Carteret and Onslow1 met and' selected
May the 20th, at Swansboro, and notified our
citizens of the fact, and but for the death of one
of the Committee, who was Secxetarjy, our Exec
utive Committee would have been duly notified.'
Nearly every delegate in our cbunty knew of it,
and I am sure Mr. Perry knew it, for he asserted
as !
we
assure our i
r
Carteret friends, and especially the Capt , that j
we will cast our 600 votes solidly for him.
Yours, for our nominee, Jones.' i
Judge Thomas and the Civil Rights Bill.
Me.- Editor. In the list of Republican mem
bers who voted against the Civil Rights Bill
appears the name of 'Thomas, of Virginia."
I am not familiar with the names of the Vir
ginia delegation, and it may be correct; but I
think it is a mistake, and that the reporter in
tended to say, Thomas, of North Carolina. As
it is rumored that there will be an attempt made
when the Judicial; Convention meets again to
nominate Judge Thomas for Judge of this Dis
trict, we want to know where he, as wefl as Mr.
Purnell, stands on the question of Civil Rights,
and we will be obliged if you will publish in
your paper how he voted; for if after all that he
has had and it has been eyerythirig to him,
and nothing to us out of the colored people,
he has now turned his back on us by voting !
against the Civil Rights Bill, we want Jo know
it, that's all. Please answer the question asked
above, and oblige ; A Colored Voter;
