The registration clo9ea the 24th of October. Dillon and O'Brien have safely arrived at Cherbourg France. Many New Btraiaus havejast become attached to the Kitchin. The man who walks into-oar Kitchin is gone "world without end." Kennedy's speech keeps mar ching on. The newspaper edition beat the Record. Remember Vance says the battle-ground in North Carolina is east of the centre. A vote for the Republican par ty, or any of its candidates, is a vote for Revolution. A certain candidate said, the other day, "I am agin the fence law." There is no fenee to get on in tbis campaign. The tariff is a big question a very big question but it dwindles rinto comparative insignificance by the side of the force bill. The passage of the McKinley tariff bill is having a damaging influence on the prospects of the World's Fair at Chicago. The position of Captain Kitchin that Democrats should not go upon the bonds of Republicans is accept ed as the pare political gospel of the times. It is believed that the senatorial contest will be narrowed to Vance and Vork. Speak out candidates, and let it be known who you are for Zeb Vance or Tyre York. We have heard nothing of Messrs. Perry and Hardison being in attendence upon the appoint ments made for them, buc we have heard very much of their failure to attend these meetings. Show yonr colors gentlemen. Secbetaet Blaine, Congress man McKinley and Inventor Edison are said to be the Ameri cans most talked about in London just now. One Harrison of the g. o. p. has been dropped from the list of notables. Those who are supposed to know say the President has made np his mind to convene Congress, in extra session, about the eleventh ol November. The main purpose is to pass the Election bill and the Apportionment bill." Ret. A. C. Dixon, formerly of Oaston county, in this State, and a brother of Thomas Dixon, of New York, has resigned the pastorate of Immannel Baptist church in Baltimore to accept a call to the Hanson Place Baptist church in Brooklyn. " lI.-p. Giix, M. r.. a member of the Irish delegation appointed to visit tha United States, to secure aid for the National cause in Ire land, is now in New York, and has famished the Associated Press with a statement relative to the mission and its purposes. The "fat frying" process is in full progress in Republican cam paigns. Quay has a fund of $100 000 to help out his party in Penn- sylvania,and contributions approxi mating half a million ol dollars hare been raised to assist McKinley in Ohio. Up to this writing no one baa been announced as the successor of Mr. Rogers as the Democratic candidate for Congress in this district. Perhaps there will be no candidate. It is certainly too late for any one to make a canvass of the district, and, it any nomination is made it should be of one widely, know for his ability and pure Democracy. How to defeat the force bill is ! the question. Electa Democratic Congress. True the bill has passed the Rouse, and cannot again be before that body, but the election of a majority of Democrats to the next House will show the Kej.ubli cans that the measure is unpopu lar, and, the Senate will not pass the bill.

It is well ' things frankly." to state these EDITORIAL NOTES. The tariff increases the cost of every mans living mans living and increases the wages of very few. American plows and sewing machines, are sold at a less price abroad, than they are at home. Farmers will recollect that the present tariff raises the tax on every thing they buy except ! sugar. J A Russian ofiicer claims to have i discovered in eggs an oil from ! which can be made a powerful j explosive. A census enumerator discover I ed a family of ten children in San I Francisco, Cal., who were all club footed and knock-kneed. The Philadelphia Record, al ways reliable says that the Demo crat will carry Pennsylvania in the coming gubernatorial election. There are fourteen pages in the United States Senate. They serve ior four years each, oeing eligible only between the ages of twelve and sixteen. Don't be fooled about sugar. It ha been placed on the free list, but the bounty given to refiners and manufacturers will be paid by the consumers. A fruit farm in West Virginia near Harper's Ferry contains 5000 apricot trees, 37,000 peach trees, 3000 plum trees, 5000 miscellaneous fruit trees, and 35,000 grape vines. The Congressional elections are important to the whole country, but the most important election to the people of East North Carolina is that of the Legislature. Republican harmony is most signally displayed. The Census Bureau, under Porter, ranks in efficiency and service with the Pension Bureau under Tanner and Raum. Mr. Harrison is so little in Washington City that it Tequires the best exertion of Puck to keep the people familiar with his featur es. He may safely rely upon Puck to do it. The surrender of this district to the Republicans is exceedingly humiliating to true Demoormts, and it should make the canvass of the counties all the more active and resolute. Not having a candidate for Con greao iD tbia district at a time when the Congress to be elected will be tbo most important one since the war is galling to Demo crats and occasions widespread dissatisfaction. i The hotest Congressional fight in the North is in McKlnley's dis trict. It is to be canvassed by Reed and Blaine, Cannon and Butterworth on the part of the Republicans, and by Carlisle, Mills and Governor Hill for the Demo crats. Of course all the power of the Administration, all the corrupting influence that the monopolists money can produce, and all the exertions of personal and party friends will be put forth to save Mr. McKinley, but the signs are that they will fail. It is queer that Democrats make the bonds of Republicans and thus secure them in office, notwithstand ing the fact that no Republican office holder ever has a Democratic deputy. Reciprocity is In the Republican tariff, but Republicans put in office by Democrats don't reciprocate worth a cent. We are gratified to learn that the State Fair is a success. We trust that all the. county fairs will be equally as successful. The year has bern a prosperous one and our farmers should encourage each other with exhibitions ol unusual excellence, and tbo people at large should show their appreciation by attending these fairs.

FASTER N NORTH CAROLINA. No man can escape the responsi bilities of citizenship. It is as much the dnty of a man to vote for the protection of good government as it is to give his personal in fluence to . honest j, integrity, in dustry and truth. All citizens are in duty bound to advoctote the best measures and vote for the best men, and whe no.fails toj register and vote invites disaster to him self and irrevocable injury to his country. These are general truths, ap plicable to all times and at all places, but Eastern North Caro lina has a special interest in the approaching election. If Norih Carolina goes Repnblican, the Legislature will sweep away county government, and ''not a rose will be left on the stalk to tell where the garden had been." Have geatlemea thought oi this T If they hare not, we trust that the patriotic woman of the country will refresh their memories, and, if necessary, drive them to the polls. What will property be worth in Eastern Carolina if the present system is abolished f In such a condition of affairs how long will it be before your schools will be de serted, and all the beauties and graces ol society are swept away before the incoming tide of bar barism 1 We are no alarmist. We have been accustomed to danger and can look the storm in the eye as calmly as most men, but it wonld be folly to disregard the threatening aspect of affairs, and absolute madness to do nothing to avert the terrible calamity. Every man who holds sacred the honor of his home and the purity of its inmates should throw off the lethargy that binds him, and go resolutely to work and elect the whole Democratic ticket. The Raleigh News and Observer quotes Senator Yance as saying that he was pleased witb the out look in the State. The western counties are in good condition and the prospects of Democratic victory bright. The battle-ground in North Carolina is east of the center, and when the outlook is good there it is good everywhere. What Democrat in Eastern North Caro lina will fail to do his dnty when he knows that he holds the key of the fortress 1 The eyes of the State are upon us ; the fortunes of liberty are in our hands; we must not, we cannot prove recreant to the trust reposed in us, and be false to oar country and our God. CLAYTON AND BRECKENR1DUE. No congressional canvass in the Union is attracting more attention than that in Arkansas in which Powell Clayton is the candidate of the Republicans and Olifton R. Breckenridge is the Democratic candidate. One of the most infamous acts of the Congress that recently ad journed was the declaring of the seat held by Breckenridge vacant. John M. Clayton, who had been the opponent of Breckenridge, was killed just after the election, and at a time when it was conceded that Breckenridge had carried the dis trict. There was no possible reason on the part of Breckenridge or his friends to desire the death. He was dead politically and even if he had not been, he wonld not have been in the way of the gifted and popular Breckenridge. The Re publicans toek it upon them selves to unseat Breckenridge upon the ground that he bad oaused the assassination of Clay- too, and that if Clayton had not been killed it could have been shown that Breckenridge was not elected. Upon this flimsy pretext the seat was declared vacant. Mr. Breckenridge is again a candidate. Ho is now running to fill the vacancy in the present Congress, and also for election as a member of the 52d Congress. He is opposed by Powell Clayton, a sm art, bad man, who acquired an unenviable reputation during the reconstruction period. There is no infamy of which he is not capable. That he will cause the assassina tion of Breckenridge, if it can be 8tealthfully accomplished is firmly believed. Indeed there has already been an attempt to mnrder the dis tinguished son of John O. Brecken ridge. If Breckenridge lives he will be re-elected, . but even if elected he will not be permitted to take his seat if the Republicans control the tiouse. in tne late session seven teen Democrats were turned out of Congress simply 'because they were Democrats. The majorities by which they were elected were not considered the popular vote was nullified, and the vote of the Republican members of Congress substituted for the vote ol the people. Never betoro in American history has there been such a disregard oi the will of the people as was shown in the expulsion of Democrats from the House who had been fairly elected, and the seating of Repub licans who were not elected, and whose only claim rested upon the single fact that they contested the seats held by Democrats. Taxa- tion without representation caused the revolutionary war. No one desires to see this conn try again involved in war certainly not in civil war. But the grievances of the South are greater than they were In 1860. Will we quietly submit Y No! We will protest against the wrong, and exhaust every peaceful remedy in defence of our liberties and in the protec tion of our homes. THE ELECTION. The time is short and it becomes every North Carolinian to exert himself to the utmost to secure the success of the Democratic party. We confess that It IS With very great reluctance that we abandon the hope of seeing a solid Demo cratic delegation representing North Carolina in the 52d Congress. The condition of affairs in the second district renders it impossible for North Carolina to present a solid front to the enemy in the next Congress. This humiliating condition should stimulant to greater efforts to con tinue and maintain Democratic ascendency in the State of North Carolina. This district cut off from participation in the repre sentative branch of the National Legislature, it would be ter rible if, from like causes, North Carolina loses her proud position in the U. S. Senate. If through snpineness or disaffection we lose the Legislature the defeat of Vance follows inevitably, and with it a long train of evils too horrible to contemplate. Is it possible to conjecture a worse condition of affairs than will be ours if the Democracy fail of success in North Carolina at the next election T A Republican U. S. Senator Mott or some other of the clan of dispoilers, in the seat now filled by Vance ; a Republican judiciary, violating the Constitution as inter preted by our fathers, and de claring laws null and void that have been enacted for the protec tion of the minority, the peace of society and the good of the com monwealth ; a condition ot unrest, that will check the incoming tide of prosperity, stop the influx of ar a w capital and erect barriers to further material development that cannot be overcome. These are some of the results that wilLieJiow Repnbli can success in North Carolina. Wbat do gentlemen mean who refuse to register 1 What do candi dates mean who refuse to attend appointments and speak to the people T If the candidates are afraid, ashamed or nnable to stand up for the rights of the people in the presence of their friends, how can they do it in the presence of the enemy t If a man is tongue tied at home how can be talk abroad T This is no time, and North Caro lina is no place.to show the force of inertia or the inate conquering power of sound principles. This is a day of aetion. A candidate to succeed must be a "hustler," The time is passed, if it ever was, when the people will take a Cin. cinnatus from his plow, and "crown him lord of all." "The workman is worthy of his meat" and only the workman. In some counties the legislative candidates are making no canvass at all. It seems that they are ambitious for the glory of defeat ; solicitous of the honor of being forward in standing back. This will never do ! Action, action, action ; oonstant, vigorous, resolute action, is the demand of the hour.

Believing that our readers are deeply interested in whatevor pertains to the railroad now in proreRs of construct iou between Wilmington aoit Np' Hti c. ye reporter in company with Mr. K Foy, equipped w ith ono of Mr ,J. W Stewart's serviceable tea.ij. m.dn an early start ThurmJay morui&K w im tin intention ot i iling thu Burvth:n party, so tliit miht furr.ich our readers with the l.itist inf.irn n u.n on the subject. By inquiry, aa we nnart'd tlie M-rnu ui operations, we learned tlj;t the purvey- ors the eveniDe before were ou the Simmons, a plantation of Mr. John prominent and pronptrou.-i f.nnnr. three milee from Pollocks il whirh plantation, by tho wiy. ;id th biith placH and early home of our comj an on. Mr. Foy. The hougk' in which Mr. Sim monj residts ie the siinie that was owned and occupied by Mr. FoyV father, and Mr. Simmons keepij the surroundings ia such ood order, and the delliDgBo nicely painted, that in1 spite of its age one might well be ex cused for mistaking it for a rrcecily constructed retidi nee. We found we bad inicsel tho party we were in search of, but the good folk of the house gave ue wbat infor mation they possessed aid nale ua heartily welcome, bid we remained wiib them an hour or two enjoying their genial hospitality until dinner, soon alter which Mr. F. L. Pittman, the chief engineer of the road, and several other gentlemen made their appearance and we met with no further difficulty in prosecuting our Bearch. We found that the survey had indeed been ran the previous evening close to Mr. Simmons' dwelling and a little be yond it, but it was discovered that tluy were about to come cut a little above Pollockeille, which was not what wkb desired, so their Bteps were retraced and the line run a little more to tbe right, through the back part of Mr. Simmons1 place, through two of Mr. Foy's plantations, through Mr. John. Pesrce'e between bis residing and ; , . , , srin house, and then down the eaatern- " " u 1 1 most etreetof Pollocksville to the banks ; of Trent river, at which spot we left them about sundown Thursday even- ing, wnen we parcea iroia mem buu started on our homeward way. They expected to continue the survey yesterday on thU side of the river, which was doubtless done, and tbe close of the day in all likelihood found them about three miles this side of Pollocksville, within about ten miles of New Berne, which is as close as they intend to run this survey at present. "But," some of our readers may ask, "why this delay 'i Why fchould they atop? Why not complete the survey at once, right on to Naw Berne?" We will explain the reason, which is just this: While it is an assured fact that the road is coming to New Berne, it is by bo means certain that it is going to Pollocksville; there are other routes under consideration, and this is only a preliminary survey to determine which route will be taken. The final survey hat been made, and the route accurately determined from 1 Wilmington as far as Jacksonville, and tbe road is now built and engines running on it within eleven miles of I that place, and about tha middle of next month it is ex;ected to have the j trains running, not into Jacksonville, but to the opposite side cf New river, on which it is situated, but it will not: belong before the bridge across the ; river, leading the railroad into the town will be constructed. The road is j then coming on to New Borne. The question arises: How shall it come '! , There are three routes under con sideration, known as the upper, the , lower and the middle routes. The com pany now has a preliminary survey,.; satisfactory for their purpose, of the lower route from Jacksonville to Stella and from 8tella to James City. It passes through no village except Stella. The middle route is the one now just surveyed, through Mayeville and Pol locksville and a little beyond, and the surveying party will now return to Jacksonville and commence ou the upper or Q uaker Bridge route and sur vey it to within about ten miles of New Berne. This upper route does not pass ; through any town or village, but j touches on the border of that section of Onslow county known as Richland. The shortest route that can be taken -a direct line-would be two or three ... , miles to tbe east of ooth Maysville and Polloksville, throui;)i very fertile lands which also abound in valuable timber. Ic has not yet been decided to J urvey thia route, but it may after- wards be surveyed and consult reu. The surveying party is composed of .. . . . .. . -.,., j nna t wo distinct sections the forward one, wu uwtcuiui. oov under the charge of Mr. R. P. Uinton. who is known as the transit man, as- certains the direction and keeps ac- . , , , . u:jr OOUDI ouqouii.u mo . tion, under the charge of Mr. J. W. ; Hinton, who is known as the level man, ascertains and keeps account of the elevations and depressions of the land: thia is done exactly at the end of ev ery hundred feet throughout the wh le route. Tbe party hows cut a way right through the forest; if they come to water, mud, noisome swamp or marsh through it they plunge; if a sapling or a monarch of the forest is in the line of the surveys' instruments down it comes, no passing around it but straight on thev march, thus a narrow patn is L.... i 11D nd the route can be traced I -1 r i thereby, as well as by their stakes driven in the ground After the surveys of the diHerent routisare ooncluded. three things will enter principally into the calculation to determine which one shall be used, namely: The cost of conetriic ton of each route and the probible amour t of traffic that would probably be secured over it. and the readiness with which people along the defferent lines grant tbe right of way. Some circumstances, bot little re tarded as momentous by the people generally, might be the very thing that would decide the railroad managers to take one route or the other. Tbe right of way is an important consideration, and if the people along one of the prc- P'-fed row . u!j be enterprising enou. h to t-.:.-- ! y ; ' f 're loci: an i proffer the t.-i:"- .! i',.. ri'n of way without any ;.rt-ak iriu-rrurtion, through the places it 'a icl.i h to traverse' ' that might b the pivot or: hi.-h the location of th road would turn, especially if ther" were uny objections r: 'Hed t' int; rihl of way iVT I he ';l i rot.; Ma:;y f tb- '"'p!'1 ii! v, iiom ae conver-fd .'" i i l-or,!, alive to tt,is fii"t Son',' l,.-ivi ,'JrMly (.'ivPii th;" rilit of u y. hioI other signified their iciidiiiicH to do t.o.
