Lowaix's 4 Visos of Sir Laan fai'' which gare sach an impetus to his early fame, was composed, in forty -eight hoars, while Gray strag gled for seren years orer his famoas ''Elegy." Papkks have been forwarded to Secretary Blaine for m claim against Chill for 130.000, by Pat rick Shields, the fireman of the steamer Keweenawa, who was maltreated while in Valparaiso, by a Chllllan mob. These is mach to be hoped ot the present Congress, however, in rarioas ways, and in none so mach as in the jadicioas economy of its appropriations, provided always that jadicioas economy is not al lowed to degenerate into an inja dicioos parti moay. THE Hamsbarg Call says: Some men never know when they are well treated. For instance, a man to Beaver, Ta- sues for divorce becsase bis wife heaved a plate ol fried egg at him. Had they beeD old and addled be might have had jost cause for complaint, bat as it was he shoald have opened his moath when he saw them coming and have praised the Lord. THE love of knowledge rather than the love of mere pleas arc, best prepares alt to act ell their part in life. The foundation of all success depends largely opoo the cultivation oC the mind, and who ever woald do this mast be willing to restrain his animal appetites And bring them into subjection. Mind mast restrain and rale the passions, if (hey are to be kept In their proper place, and not allowed to tnr the Jadgamenc or tny the life. To the mind a good book is like goood food to the body it is the material by which its strength aad grdVth can be best promoted. A. bad book is pooon to the mind and rain to the soal; and shoald be avoided with the greatest care At all times. 'In view of the fact that the Lloase will very qaickly dispose of the tree wool question, it becomes a matter of interest to know what will be done with such a measare in the Senate. This part of the programme gives the Democrats little concern, bat there is, never theless, considerable speculation on the aarject. As to the re a It, no very accurate predictions can now be made. An analysis of the po luteal complexion of the Senate) hows thai thve are forty-seven j Republicans, thircj.iine Democrats j oae I ri Jfpndent, Mr. Kyle, and j one Farmer,' Alliance, Mr. Pefler. j On u question rTecti r. t he re duction "f ti e tantT. tbe to litter may K'tire ed to vote with the Democrat, tiias ruikmg the Sen ate '.ud lor'i pcveii to fortj.otie.

EDITORIAL NOTES. THE grip is very fatal In lllanoi . Beloium, too, has the grip, and has it very badly. Thbek thousand Elgin watch makers are on a strike. IT is reported that Garra has been completely sarroanded by Federal troops and Texas Rangers. We have not seen Mr. Cheat ham's National Education Bill. When it comet to hand we will talk about It. Mb. Mills has gor e home to Texas to recruit his health. It is supposed that he will be absent from the house several weeks. Tns President has appointed Hon. Judson C. Clements, of Georgia, a Railroad Commissioner. The appointment is a good one. The cruiser Charleston began taking on board her war supplies at San Diego Saturday. It is said three companies of artillery are to be ordered to that place. The Sapreme coart of Pennsyl vania holds that a saloon keeper is responsible in a case of injury re ceived resulting irom the sale of liquor to an intoxicated person. ; It is said that every delegate appointed by the Georgia State Alliance to attend the National Alliance Convention that convenes In St. Louis, Feb. 22, Is opposed to a Third party. The Confederate Camp of New York will take a new departure. On 10th inst. they will celebrate Gen. Robert E. Lee's birthday. A number of distinguished Confed erates will speak. The works of the Atlanta Glass Company was burned on the night of Jan'y 6th. The loss is estimated at 150.000. The works gave em ployment to about one hundred and fifty men and as many boys. Ajtdbew Carxeqie has donated 130,000 for the erection of a public library buildiDg at Fairfield, Iowa. Senator James F. Wilson has donated a lot, and the buildiDg will be erected in the spring. Costebse college, for young ladies, at Spartanburg, S. C, was burned on the night of the 2nd inst. One hundred yonng ladies were in the building, and escaped in their night clothes. Moss troops are to be sent to the Mexican frontier. There is mach uneasiness felt at army head quarters at Saa Antonio over the situation on the frontier. Our troops ap to Saturday had had one or two engagements with the revolutionists. It will be several days yet before the President will send to Con gress the promised correspondence on the matter of maltreatment of ths Baltimore's crew in Valparaiso. It is thought that matters are pro gressing favorably lor an amicable settlement. The Chattanooga Tradesman is indeed a great publication. It is immense. It is issued twice a month at (J a year. It is a South ern trade journal of great merit. Its issue of 1st January is of high value, and sets forth a great deal of facts and figures concerning the South. A London dispatch ofthe-ith inst , says: The troubles between the Salvation Army and the au thorities at Eastbourne resulted yesterday in a riot of uuusual violence. Yesterday the East bourne contingent of the Salvation Army was divided into foar sec tions, which were stationed in different parts of the town. The fight was for the right of the Salva tionists to pray and preach in the streets, and during the riots mobs armed with stones charged upon ' the Salvationists, who claim that the police aided in the assault upon ! thpm. Many were injured. 1 'It is necessary,'' said Mr. ; Blanohard yesterday, "that all the, information pofWblt, pech m eug ; neers' estimates as to the needs of ' rivers and harbors of the coun ry, be collected and put in shape so that the committee, wheu it meets, can proceed intelligently on the multitudinous work before them. ; The committee ha.8 not et held a meeting, but will probably meet and organize some time this week. I have prepared the necessary data and placed it in the bands of the printer. The river and harbor bill will be ready to be presented to the House by March.'" AT least two new bureaus of the Government have been proposed by Alliance men in Congress. Rep resentative Kern, of Nebraska, watting a banking and loan bureau in the Treasury Department for the purpose of establishing sub treasuries throughout the land, rhere anybody can deposit money and receive 3 per cent, interest per annum. Senator IVffer'a bill provided for a bureau of irrigation to b attached to the Department ot Agriculture. This bureau ia to ascertain the most available sources of permanent water supply wheth- er on or bvneath or above the ear face of the earth, aDd the most economical means of procuring it and applying it to farming lands in the arid regions. A. SINGULAR C0NYICTI0X. JOHN C. DAVIS. The most singular conviction of : Mr. Johu C. Davis is now held murder in the first degree on record for trial on criminal charges at Is that of Dr. Graves, at Denver, J Wilmington. lie was raised fn Colorado Ihe doctor was convict-1 this section of tLe State, and in ed of murder apon the charge that his early manhood he gave promise he sent a bottle of whiskey which of distinction and usefulness. In contained poison from Boston to ; deed for several years he was fore- Mrs. Barnaby marked 4lfrom an 1 old friend in the Woods.'' She drank the liquor and died from the poison it contained. It turned out that Dr. Graves was her sole exe cutor without bond, and that she had left him ?25,000, he denied sending the bottle and afterwards admitted it, btk claimed that the poison was put in the bottle after it reached Denver; and it wus shown that the doctor's statements in many ways were connecting and misleading. The trial has been one of surpassing interest, and its termination in a verdict of guilty makes it not only a strange but a celebrated caae. Charlotte Chron Icle. THEY ARE MAI) The wrath of WE ARE HAPPY. the Republicans maketb us glad. It was said of Cleveland, "we love him because of the enemies he has made.'' This is now applica ble to ilill. It would be difhcult to nnd a madder set than the New York Republicans. It is supposed that Piatt has gritted his teeth away to the gums, and that Hiscock has 1 torn off the last lock of hair that once waved so gracefolly over his claesio brow. Miller is the only New York Re publican whose condition is doubt ful. Ilis eyea are very red, but no body seems to know whether it is from prolonged weeping or exces sive laughter. The agony is not confined to New York. Washington is scarcely less affected. Ilarrison has pulled that hat over his eyes and refuses to be comforted, while Reed swears that the Democrats in the New York Senate can't count a quorum, but if the Republicans will withdraw from the Senate Chamber, and set up for themselves, he will show them how to do it. But the Democrats are all happy except well we won't say. Mrs. Whitney is hardly as smiling as usual and Mrs. Flower has dropped a petal or two. The Cleveland family are as serene as ever, and the Democratic 4,gooee hangs high." GOV. HOLT. Few men have risen more in pub lic; estimation than Governor Holt. At the time of his nomination to the office of Lieut. Governor, he was little known to the masses in this State, and those of us who had the pleasure of his acquaintance considered him only a good busi gess man of high integrity and respectable talents. When the gifted Fowle was taken from ns by the hand of death, many of us were painfully apprehensive that his euccessor would suffer by a comparrison of the two, but this was of shortdura tion, for Governor Holt at once displayed executive ability of a high oraer and has, eversince, con stantly grown in public estimation. In public address, do less than in the daties of the executive chambers, he has been equal to the occasion, and today North Caro lineans, irrespective of party, are justly proud of their Governor. Admitting the claims of many distinguished North Carolineans, we do not see that the Democracy of the State can to better than to nominate Governor Holt as his own successor. There is a moral grandine in the man infinitely superior to official station, that lifts him above party spirit and makes him the true j representative of a great people. CLEVELAND. i There are all sorts of reports ; about Mr. Cleveland, especially as connected with Senator Hill. The last, that has come to us is that Gov. Hill expecting to receive the nomination, will resign his seat in the Senate as soon as the honor comes to him, and that Gov. Flower i will appoint Mr. Cleveland as his successor. Mr. Cleveland's friends say he would not accept such ap pointment. It would be said at once in his opinion that he had entered into a bargain with Gov a into a oar.u .tu u,.. He might poasibly go to the Uill. Senate if elected by the legislature, although his lrienda doubt whether he would do that or not." We take it that this ia wild guessing from a Kepubli:an stand point. Senator Hill is not so sure of a nomination aa to resign his seat in tbe Senate. However confident he may be he ia too sharp to do any j thing that would smack of preeump tion. Hill ia a politician and knows just exactly how to wear his plumes. As for Cleveland, his serenity i3 not disturbed by the ever shifting phases of public opinion. If the nomination ia tendered to him by the 2. tional Convention he will accept it. If it is not, he will pur sue the even tenor of hia way, knowing that his character and fame are secure in the archives of i imperishable history. most among his fellow, and we trust that the cloud shadows his life may that now i. j ue iemueu by a verdict of not guilty after a fair and impartial trial The JOURNAL, while 6etting ''its face as flint'' against crime of every character, has a warm sym pathy for young men, and is ever ready to help them when its aid can be properly given. We there fore publish the following: CARD FROM JNO C. DAV1.S. To the Public of Xorth Carolina. In a recent issue of the two ( daily newspapers oi this city, Rev. L. L. Nash, pastor of the Fifth Street Methodist Church, has re flected so severely on my charac er, and my motives iu my efforts to build a church for our congrega tion, that I am constrained, though very reluctantly, to apper at this time in print. My life has been devoted, to a very great extent, toward building up that church, which I still love , and revere, and the troubles which; now surround me arise directly i from these efforts. Therefore I j now state, without any intention to parade before the public what J have done, that as Chairman of the Building Committee, I received for expenditure in tne construction oi i the edifice $12,805.73 in cash, and paid out, as per vouchers approved by the Auditing Committee, $15, 569.63, leaving the balance of -?2,-703.90 more paid out than received, and which the church owes me to day. Besides this, I have donated to the church at least twenty houses and six building lots, which at the least fair valuation are today worth $20,000; and while I do not ask the return, yet if the property were conveyed to me, I would have more than enough to pay every debt I owe, and which will yet be paid by me in full, come what may, if I am spared by God, and given health and strength to honestly make it. Now the public can judge whether I have wrecked the church and ''plunged it into ruin," or whether I have been wrecked by my liberal ity toward the church. W ith a firm and abiding laith, that the public will see and under stand the purity of my motives at no very distant day, and trusting that the press which has so widely published Mr. Nash's card, will pub lish this in reply, I remain, very truly, John C. Davis. GENTLEMAN, PLEASE BEHAVE, The Democrats in the New York Legislature have perhaps gone too far in seating Mr. Walker, "the Democratic contestant in the dis trict whiah elected Mr. Sherwood, Republican." The courO of ap peals had declared that Sherwood was ineligible, but it did not de cide that his Democratic spponent was entitled to the seat." The Democratic victory in New York is very brilliant and we trust that it will not be dimmed by any act of doabtful propriety. The Democratic party is od its good behavior at Washington and Al bany, and nothing is mre natural than for Democrats to be gentle men. If anybody wants to see a circus they can be accomodated by look ing at the Ohio Legislature where the Republicans are in control. The Washington Post, Indepen dent with Republican proclivities, says: 4,Iu the Ohio Senate yester day the Republican majority, after considering the case about two minutes, unseated Senator Gaumer. Democrat, and voted his place to: Mr. Iden, Republican. Mr. Gaumer had been elected by one majority,! but lden contested the seat because his paity was in a majority in the Senate and he felt confident that j he would succeed. Senator Gaumer ; asked the privilege of presenting some testimony in behalf of his' claims on the seat, but the majority informed Limth.it his testimony could not chacge their purpose.' They were there to unseat Gaumer, and that gentleman is now a priv ate citizen. Of coarse, the Demo cratic senators were very indig catit." We are for the right, whatever it maybe, and we respectfully sug gest that it would be eminently proper for the highly moral and zealously pious individuals who have been railing at Hill and Tarn- many to reserve some of ther "cuss words" for the Ohio Republicans. ! The papers were wrong when they said Gov. Holt don't believe in hanging woman. He has refused i to save Caroline Shipp. She poia 'oned her husband and there is no reason why she should not pay the death penalty. 'Me. Cleveland's friend is converaa- - inclined to think from tions he has had with the ex-Preai- dent, that Cleveland feels that haviug been once elected and once defeated he could not with dignity permit any controversy to arise over his candidacy. He must either be indicated as the practi- cally Unanimous Choice Of hia party and aa its representative Of the ' ..g else Sails. The greatest kind isauea which he Set forth in his ness'l : can do my many thousand n-iends lis message, or else he must not i considered at all." (iKIMSI.E V. THE HUSBAND SPEAKS. Misstatements Unjust to Him Have Been Made and lie Writes to Correct Them. The Gieenvillo Reflector publishes the following card and note thereon: I have jdot been shown u copy of your paper of tns issuo of December 23d, l which dues me serious in juetice through I misstatements cr tacts vrnicu 1 am sure ' vcu have ma !-3 only information - .; . , ,nliv.t , no purpose on y part to injure me or mislead the public inind. I regret the nur.pnflittr that comneld ar.ethfr At&tf mentto ba eiven to lea public concern- ioK the two attacks which Rev. J-' T. Abernetny ; but as of simple justice to my character I have ieepectfully to aek that you will give me tbe privilege of correcting, through your columns, the erroneous statements alluded to, and also to refute sundry slanjarous reports which, hvo cen eent out through the pre.-.a of tha coun try on tho subj set nmed. A maa who defends tbe nanctiiy of his ticme, utid eeptcially the purity tind honor of hie wife even by us;; of violent methods (which are ofitn the only tffectiv-e onee) miy as a general rule well con tent himself with Bilt-ncs amil the exaggerated stories to which such: occurrences invaristiy KiVr iisr i3 the cert.iin assurance tt.at a jut public ' 8lu irr.cnt will soonor or later see ba has hij due and that truth ehiil triumph. ; Thitj is the course I much preferred to purt ue in regard to this rn.-Uter, End only the peculisr nature ef some of the charges referred to impels nj to break, that siltnce now. ! It is charged that I invited Mr. Aber nethy to my home to go hunting with me with the view of getting him within my Downr for the purpose of assaulting him. Tbh ia utterly false. Tne only semblance of truth it contains is that on tbe Saturday before the Tuesday on which the first shooting occurred he inform ed me that he would come over to my bouse on the last named day to go bird hunting with me, to which I assen ted. It is true I had previously had reason to suspect that he had ia his mind the impure design that at last produced the crisis, but my firm con viction ef my wife's unsullied virtue (which has never yet for a moment been shaken) and the friendship and esteem I had entertained for him lulled those suspicions to sleep, and I met him kindly when he came. But conduct of bis after his arrival gave me fresh cause to believe that I had not erred in my previous misgivings. This alone led me to secrete myself (which I loathed the necessity of doing) that I might have ocular proof whether I had wronged a friend by such a suspicion or had rightly weighed arjd measured his motives and if the latter, to punish him as he richly deserved for his devil ish purpose and effort, concealed under a clearical robe, to tempt)even though untuccessfully) tbe virtue cf which God and the law of my country made me the defender. It is charged, that my wife and I had been on bad terms and that I had aban doned her. This is infamously false. Our relations towards each other were kind, loving and confiding, and I was faithfully and laboriously endeavoring to maintain her and the little one with which God had blessed our union. As to the second attack, it is charged that I advanced on Mr. Abernetby as he was psaceable walking the Btreet while he showed no disposition to have a difficulty and was not expecting one. The truth is he was warned that 1 was down town, and that the sight of him might again inflame my anger, and his wife and others (as I am reliably in formed) besought him to remain at home. Despite these warnings and entreaties he armed himself and walk ed down the street, remarking that he oould shoot as well as I. I was informed that he was down town, and I was pre paring to leave when I saw him coming in the direction of me while I was going toward my buggy. He walked with the air of one (as it seemed to me and others) who was at least willing for the fray. The flme whioh for days I had smothered by a great effort, kindled anew, and I advanced toward him and drew my pistol and he drew his, and we began firing almoat simul taneously, and continued the contest with the result that is well known. Ii is alleged that the entire commun ity denounced my conduct and that threats of lynching were freely made. This is also without any foundation in fact. The lynching business, if it had been attempted, would not have been healthy; eeprcially, in view of tho ho?t of friends who were willing to give me all the physical and moral aid ia their power. I am proud to feel and know i. . fc rt .Via nannlo r. 1 my county inuee v, uu uui itc, a libertine should be sheltered froin punishment when he invales and happy home, even thou.h he w aj thenntneacd g"b cf a mwieter of the , MoBt uign-sre wun mo uu i this matter. While I regret the fict '.ha'. I was brought face to Ir.o with Mr Acer nethy, and thus rcy ener became aroused beyond my control cn the ed. I nevertheless do not reproach myself for inflicting upon him the punishment he then re ceived. The good, true and devoted wife (whose innocenco my victim sought, though in vain, to beguile) assures me that I did right; the prevail ing voice of the best men Bnd women in my community is one of sympathy with me; I can tfford to wait the final verdict without fear of the result.

C. R, R. to give double daily mail and passenger servioe which has received the signatures of many of our best and formoat citizens. The number of names to it is limited only by the number seen. Every one here desires the additional servioe. There is no doubt that it will bs greatly to the advantage of the city and whilo it would involve addi ional expenditur on its part of the road it would proba bly not be long era the iacreis 1 patronage would make up f or th- added expensa, it might do so from the ttart, but even should the roa I ofH .-ials bo lieve that at th9 baginniag ths road would not earn as muc'aas it is now doing we still think that duo efforts ought to be put forth by th ui to ac complish an end so greatly daeired. The petition presents the need for the service and the reasons why it ought to be established as follows: New Berne, N. C, Nov. 23d, l'Jl. To Hon. Windfield S. Chadwick, Presi dent, and the Board of Directors of the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail road Company: We, tho undersigned citizens and business men of the City of New Berne, N-C, respectfully petition your Hon orable Bcdy for additional train accom modations in order that we may have two daily mails each way over the A. & N. C. R. H. For the following reasons: 1st. ny tne present arrangement our letters and other mail from the North aro delayed in Goldsboro. N. C, from ! u p. ru.. tin o p. m., oi tne next uay. 2d. Our Business has greatly in creased and is still improving, and additional mail and passenger accom modations will be of great advantage to our city as well as to the railroad. 3rd. Tho Postmaster-General in res ponse to a petition for greater mail facilities has eigmfisd hi9 willingness to aviil himself cfall suitable trains running into New Berne for that purpose. 4;b. Our City is rapidly develoj ing in every direction, improving S;reets, Electric Lights, proposed Water Works, Street Railway, etc. , and we desire to have equal facilities for travel and mail communications as other cities of like size and importance in North Carolina.

We desire respectfully to call the attention of your Honorable Body to the large peouniary help our city Bnd county gave to your Road when it bo much needed help in its infancy.
