A Wubhiwotow dispatch, Feb. 8th, says that the Supreme Court of the District ot Colombia has denied the writ of mandamus In the celebrated silver case to com pel the Secretary of the Treasury to coin Into silver dollars all silver ballioD presented at United States mints.

Quitk a sensation wm produced a few days ago by the statement of A- W. Wilson that an adventurous woman tried to backmail him on the cars. It turns out that nothing of the kind occurred.

"The publishers of the Century Magazine have issued a pamphlet entitled "Cheap Money," contain ing the articles on cheap money experiments which have been ap pearing in "Topics of the Times" of the Century daring the past year or more.

Thb burning of the Hotel Royal, in the city of New York on the night of the 7th of February, takes rank with the moat blood curdling hor rows of the times. At the time of the disaster there were nearly one hundred and fifty guests in the hotel. The hotel employees all told numbered fifty-five. Oi this num ber of people Ava thus far have been found dead, six are in the hospital and sixty-three have been reported alive. One hundred are still missing. The number of dead will probably not exceed, at a late estimate, thirty persons. The loss by the borning of the Hotel is es mated at 1250,000. WHO I If it is true that Hill and Cleve land have killed each other, who will be the Demoorat.ic candidate for President! Echo answers, WhoT Presidential nominations are often surprises. The old people of the cooDtry remember thai the nomination of Lewis Cass, as the opponent of defeat Henry Clay, was a surprise scarcely less than that felt by the rank and file of the Democracy when Franklin Pieroe was choses to contest the palm with Winfield Scott. Never was there a greater fsnr prise to our friends, the enemy, than when Wm. H. Seward was defeated in the nominating con vention by Abraham Lincoln. History repeats itself, and it may be that the surprise of Republicans at Mineapolis will only be less than that experienced by Democrats at Chicago. Among the names mentioned in Republican ciroles as presidential possibilities are Harrison, Sber. man, Alger, unworn, Mckinley and Reed while in the Democrat ic catalogue are found the names ol Cleveland, Hill, Carlisle, Gor man, Whitney. Campbell, Vilas, Boise, Russel. Palmer: yet, not odc of these may be Dominated by either convention. Who then! As well its into the forest before the frost has come and tell what leaf will be the first to robe itself in autumnal hues, as to forecast the action of a political convention and tell who will bear away its honors. We are glad that it is so. It verifies the latin maxim rox populi, rox de; and teaches politioal ma nipulators that on such occasions they are but clay in the hands of the potter. While we may not know who will be the standard bearer of the Democracy, of this we may be as sured: t The great party of Jeffer son Madison, Jackson Dd Tilden will stands before the country su preme in its integrity, sublime in its courage-fair as the moon, bright as the sun and terrible as an army with bannert! ALFRED M. SCALES. As announced in this paper yes terday Alfred M. Scales is dead. The death of Gen. Scales, so soon after that of Gen, Bansom, is an impressive reminder that the old veterans tire passing away. In a little while few of will remain to talk of camp, the march U8 the and the battle. Fortunate indeed will it be for those of us who will leave a memory as fragrant as they have left who recently; pasaed over the river. At the opening of the war Alfred M. Scales'volunteered as a pri vate, but quickly rose to the rank of Captain. He succeeded Pender as Colonel of the 13th, North Car olina and was made Brigadier General shortly after the battle of Chancellorsville. He was wounded at Chanoellorsville and Gettysburg. "In 1874 he was elected to Con gress and served for five consecu tive terms. In 1884 he was elected Governor of North Carolina. After serving out his term of office he retired to private life." Alfred M. Scales is uot a fit sub ject for fulsome euloev. He was no genius, in the popular accepta tion of the term, but he was better than this. He was a patriot, a man of integrity and a Christian gen tleman. If we should hold him up for the emulation of the young men ol North Carolina, we wonld not represent him as a hero with Bword and plume, nor as a statesman, killed in the most difficult of all sciences, the science of Govern ment, but we would picture him as an earnest, honest man, who haviDg made Doty hid polar star, moved right on with charity for his fellow man and fidelity to his God. A good man has transferred his citizenship to the land of the re deemed and glorified. A terbible accident occurred at Cameron, near Wheeling, W. V., in which two beautiful young girls, daughters of William Cris well, a wealthy citizen, lost their lives, one of them while heroically attempting to save the other.

Thb porchaae and absorption of "America," the vigorous exponent of Amerioan principles, by The Chicago Graphic, has given a far ther impetus to the remarkable growth which this celebrated illus trated weekly ofthe West has experienced. THE POST ON HILL. The New York Evening Poit comes to us with a marked article on David B. Hill. It Is a savage aseult with these! headlines: "David B. Hill." The I leading points Of his political ca- reer. "Early life in the politics 1 Elmira.'' "His first tutor a subse quent convict." "Money and trickery his chief political weapon;" "An ally of Tweed in the Legisla ture," We are no champion oi Senator Hill but we wish to remind onr readers that no man is safe from the shafts of calumny who dares to enter the political arena. This is especially the case in New York. JJIeveland and Hill are alike abused by the partisan press. Flower for the time escapes, but should he become prominent as a presidential candi date he will be so blackened by def amation that his best friends won't know him. The Journal will not lend it self to such nefarious purposes. Every man has his faults, but the pure mantle of Democracy cov-; ers a multitude of sins. We had 1 much rather extol virtue than in. j dulge in adimad version on the shortcomings of onr fellowmen. While not for a moment condoning wrong and never stooping to ap - plana vice, it win oe our cniet ena to commend the good, the fal and the true. beauti- N ATIONAL ELECTIONS AND PRES IDENTIAL ELECTORS. It has been said that the Con stitution of the United States is the perfection of human reason, and yet no instrument has given rise to greater controversy and more acri monins debate. The Forum of February contains an article from the pen of Ex-Sena- tor Edmunds on ''Perils of our National Elections," and an other by Hon. E. J. Phelps, on "The Choice of Presidential Electors." The subjects, if not the same, are so closely related that the ordinary reader cannot see the difference yet the treatment is as different as a physician would give to consump tion and yellow fever. This cannot be attributed to un lettered ignorance, for no lawyers stand higher in their profession than George F. Edmunds and E. J. Phelps. Can it be that the American Constitution is a tangled skein, an inexorable mistery, a puzzle and a snareT We have no room, if indeed we have the ability, to review these articles. AH that we propose is the presentation of the contrast of emi nent opinion in regard to presiden tial electors. The secondection of the 2d, article ofthe Constitution declares tnat, "Each state shall ap point in such manner as the legis lature thereof may direct, a num. ber of electors equal to the whole number of Senators and Eepresen tatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress. Mr. Edmunds says: "Both the logic of the situation at the fram ing of the Constitution and the equilibrate harmony of the Con stitution absolutely demanded the single voice of each State in the constitution of the presi JentU! electoral body." "In the hundred yeors of presi dential elections that have ptssed only a single exception to this has occurred. . At last, however, the legislature of one State, (Mich igan) inspired, douotless, with be nevolent sympathy for some minor ities of her people who happened to reside, chiefly, in one or two of her congrsssioual districts, has thought it fit and competent to abdicate the single entirety ot her State rights and duties ia appointing her elec toral College, whioh the Constitu tion required her to do hc-raelf, and to commit that duty to twelve sep arate divisions of hr citizens, to contribute, one tneui'.-er each, to the electoral body, .lad this is to be called "an appointment" by the Staff. If tho cmns nrl nrnfirs nf , , party victory can indacee the leg- islatare of a State to resort to such means of acheiving it, some may begin to doubt Whether written constitutions are any valuable se curity against the passions or ignorance or selfishness of men." Judge Phelps ably defends the constitutionality of the Michigan law. His argument is a massive ! chain from whieh no link can be sion most continue, and will con tinue, and should be conducted with that candonr and fairness, and that respect for the views of honest opponents, which alone can make it useful When the result . in Michi-an and ia other states in which similar legislation is prob able shall have been tested by ex perience, it is not unreasonable to expect that it will commend itself to the general good sense of the country." j SERIOUS CHARGES Made Uirect,y Against Euenton and by Insinuation Against the People of the State. 1T. . 7. 7 , . .

Taking the quotation wiih which this article starts, as a criterion it might quickly be inferred that "an enemy hath done this'' but the writings of Mr. Hevwood in the nat. ;and th9 Uot tQat the first article in his magazine is devoted to this State and further, that larger space is given j to favorable mention of North Carolina than is bestowed even upon the State in which it is published looks icform able to such an opinion. These things baing so, render it rr.ore J iooport: nt that the coup ainta ho makes receive attention. The statement of gri-van33 against the City Council of EJenton is thus I stated in the migi.ziue. "The controversy is between Frank A. litfywood and the City Counoil Jot Edenton in regard to the payment lift a cuafJ.ei iu lur iwnuin auu ufuiu ern book. The City Council voted to pay 75 for representation in the work and acct-p".e-'1 'he manuscript.

'TJn know nothing of this cae except the statements ia the Progress. If a just debt is due Mr. Hdywood, and the ooudcII is in the wrong the people of Eientoa should see that he is paid, but if the board is in the right and bis attack is unwarranted cyei man on it should see that the accusations are re futed, and further, if the councilmen are not to blame in the transaction the citizens of Edenton should rise as one man, uphold tbem in the matter, cast eff the reproach and see that the unjust imputations are maio to recoil with telling effect upon the author.

Trere is considerable udination here about the manner of conducting the case, and especially the amount of the bond. It seems to have been a lit tle over one. third of the amount stolen. The opinion is that it is a'every de moralizing state of affairs when a man can multiply oupdci b to 6uch an ex tent end euca magnitude from time to time and one whose truining and asso ciation had baeu euch as thouid have raised hisn far above such acre and for which no excuse can bt- offered, to ge scot free by the forfeiture of such a email toid. Lw should bave no favor in such effaces, and the opin ion is prevelent that it is only a premium set upon crime, when one can steal. ssy even $1,200, when S5C0 will liber ate him from the offence. Of course no one would question his right to bail, but it is the amount that has brought about the dissatisfaction. Such has an unwholesome tendency upon the public mind, snd will influ ence jurors in the trial of causes in the future. There was only oce warrant sworn out against him and that was in the Hotel Nicholson robbery case. The amount ctolen at this time was about $1,250, There should have been war rants for each of the four offences. Such offances should not be judaed by one's station in life, but by tne magnitude of the crime committed. If one in high life can, through sta tion and friends, ba liberated, those who hevs not the station and ir.fluence to et. -jure their escape, will have friends who will use force, it being the enly means they h-ve of accomplishing the same end, and th8 will lead to a state of society that will bf: rrjobt deplorable. MONDETtlTL FISHING. Immense Catch A Cariosity for the lair. Some cf our exchanges ar tailing of the mirveHous sust-es sittudins: the new styie of fishing et 21 orehead and Beaufort. The Wilmington Scar pub lishes an interesting letter from More head City, which says last week was one long to be remembered by the fish ermen there on account of the largest catch of fish ever mace in the month of February. There were 153,000 pounds of trout caught in five days, beginning Monday, February lit, and ending Friday, the 5th. These fish were caught about two and a half miles off shore from Fort Macon, near the sea buoy, where the water wlil average about six fathoms. They were caught by sinking the nets down to the bottom, and that is done by tying sinkers on the lead line ofjtfae net. The nets are allowed to lay on tho bottom from ten to thirty min utes and wh'U tacen up tbey are meahed full cf tish. This mode of fish ing is new, as it w.3 never ttied till about one month ago, aa.i go far it has proved very successful. For three years and until about one month bko, there were ?reat quantities of fish caught in tho same waters with hook and line, but the ntt-fishlng having proved to be so much more succetsful, hoots and lines hiva been laid aside and tho nets are b' ing ued altogether. he above hure-- do not give the ni.i'j C -t -h. as l:,v.ro were great auan- ii.-sof ti.h cauiH in the e nie waters by tho tow n of B-;ai: fort, u; d soli to the ,!rri of Besi-frt l-- Ki--' n Fi'ce V; t'vea the 'Vc .. : -. ii.. ti -.:.; r:r.(.'n of More- fcj- ' y :u-.i-: i i.-. tm nd.t; ca.ch Iat i'L.;: .

THE NEW BERNE FAIR. Prospects Keep (Joing Forward Give Fishermen Full Chance Let Flli, Oysters and Game Remain the Leading Features -Sea and Land Compared. ( I). Bennett's Fine Horses. GOLDSBORO, Feb'y 9ih, llJ2. Agreeably to promise, we will ac quaint you as far as we can, of the prospect of the approaching Newcern fair. Ia our perambulations we find many preparing to attend it and some among them for information as well as to see and be ssen. The upectation is high for a grand exhibit, perhaps greater than ever, notwithstanding the satisfaction it has given heretc f jre to the public generally. But if the result, we may be sure, will do co discredit to ihe zaul of the Eat Carolina Fish, Oyster, Game and Industrial Aesocis lion, jet we will nk a suggestion j which couid do do harm and may be beneficial to all interested. Trio opinion we suppose that it will not do for the exhibit to reme;n stationary will be concurred in. ThisyfflrosicLiri ponal that of the past in its excellence! laudable but not sufficient. It must move forward in this day of rapid nrt- fgre8sion or stall in the old rut. 'lhuB while the variety, especially of G-h and oysters, is entirely satisfactory the quantty of either on exhibition has not come up to the posssbilitirs of the New born market. This cinaot be truthfully contradicted. The Journal states and restates week after week, year in and year out, the astounding catch cf fish in our waters and the thousands of bushels of oysters sold annually at Newbern. These facts are republished in the papers throughout North Caro lina and often in other States, therefore comparatively, a few baskets of oysters and few bunches of fish, however super ior in quality,' exhibited at the fair must cause disappointment the ex peciauon ot many vmtors is not realized ; it is not what is due to a great nsn market like New bern to say noth ing of Beaufort harbor. No it is not. Throw open the gates to the fishermen. Let them in wiih all their fish and oysters snd game and s?ll raw oysters, roasted oysters. fried ovaters and stewed oysters. fih bv the bunch and fish cooked in every way known to our own citizsns, then, and not until then, could be realized the resources of New bern, Beaufort and Morehead; the pro ducts of our waters, the magnitude of our fish trade. Oh yes, transfer for the week the fish and oyster market to the fair grounds and it would Dot, we be iieve, lesson the receipts at the eating saloon already there, for which we presume there is a contract, not one dollar. Many people visit the fair that to see an oyster "ehuckfd'' would be a curiosity and w ho have m ver tasted one roasted. Of courte, the Esaermen would be charted as others for tickets for themselves and assistents and too for the privilege of selling if required, their fish and ousters in tbe fair grounds. iiThe money realized annually for fish and oysters ii the county of Carteret alone would aggregate a sum equal to that for which 300 C00 bushels of Hyde couuty corn would sell at 50 centa per buBhet; and the amount paid for oysters at the canning establishment at New bern could buy 250,000 bushels of similar grain. A few days eiooe Judge Conner said in the hearing of the writer that one among the most intelligent juries he ever charged in this State was in Carteret county. Thus it will be seen the products of the sea make men in all respects fully equal to thoee relying on the produots of the land. The Journal has quite recently pub lished extracts from the report of tbe great Railroad Celbration at Newbern ,n 1858. Tbe most rival incident con nected therewith in the minds of tbe visitors at the time from tbe interior and western part of North Carolina was the surprising accumulation of oysters and fish at the dinner. Mr. W. U Oliver was chairman of the sub com mitiee whose duty it was to bave them procured. His efficiency in the matter is still remembered, for all we know it was his "amen" to the sentiment "the ladies of Newbern will do to tie to." If so be will not now take it back. But be that as it may we trust that he can be persuaded to publish in detail the articles purchased for and used at the dinner. It would undoubtedly be in teresting to our citizens by refreshing the memory of those now paBiiog rap idly away and by giving information toothers, who ara succeeding thorn in tho active business of life, which other wise could never be obtained. Mr. U-eorge D. Bennett of Goldsboro, with his stable of costly horees will probably attend the fair. We are con vinced from a conversation with him on the subject he could he induced to do so by an effort on ihe part of its managers. Unquestionably, with trot ting and running horses combined his stable i4 not equalled by any in tbe State. It is a family that can toast of royal blood throughout and it runs down from his aged horses t young colts all perfect in confirmation. To see them would be an unusual gratifica tion to persons unaccustomed to such noble animals. Nevertheless it is the uniqueness of the winter fair at New bern that gives it such universal popu larity. This should be kept prominently in view. To repeat, tbe fish and oysters and game are the chief attraction and must be ever held in front if the fair is to be continued successfully and without diminution in interest. All other exhibits, however excellent and interesting of their kind, should be seoondary. Those that go down to the sea expect to bave exhibited strange objects to them, and tbey will be re collected acd described to others who in turn will come to witness them Thus the fair can be perpetrated otherwise with the same people it would become soon a thrice told tole. J. D. W. Wealth to the Tatums. Mr. S A. Oxbutn, of tbii city, was in Greensboro Saturday in search for the heirs of Memory B. Ttu:n and his brother Joseph, both of whom oied near or in Meridian, Texac. The Record says that these Tatums wert from North Caro.'ina. and it is be lieved from Guilford county. They have died without heirs, so ffir as ii known, in Texas. mere a good many ot the name in this section, and the ettues are naid to be very large ones.
