I don't believe the Demo crats or tfceir policy bave anything to do with it. It woild have come anyhoww, and if Harrison had been elected it might have been even worse." CIVIL SERVICE. We ate favorable to civil service, bat we have alwajs believed that the service would be greatly bene fited hv filling the offices ivith Democrats. The present law is abominable at best, bnt as now ad ministered it is ii jurion to the country aod rninoui to thr I) -tno-cratic party. The resolution offered last, Thurs day by Mr. Call, ff Florida, in structing he Committee on Civil Service to extmiue into the condi tion ol the evil service law and the expediency of its retrenchment or increase has passed the Sen ate. While the resolution was under consideration, Mr. Berry remarked that "the law had neen called uon partisan, but' h9 believed that it was a regular party machine, which was nsed to keep the Republicans in office. It was alleged, he said, that five out of every six persons employed in the classified eervic belonged to th Republican party and that was unfair and un just. "Is the res onsibility for reten tion of Republicans in office in the law or in the "exenuti vet" asked Senator Oockrell. Mr. Bjrry said he did not know where ihe responsibility lay, but he did know that the civil service law and rules were not oarried out io a non-ptf rtit-au away, and that some of the most extreme Repuo Iioans were ho ding office uuder a Democratic administration. He be lieved that a Democratic President ought to be surrounded byj political friends, and not by those who were contin ually doing wbat they could to make his administration a lail nre." We agree with Mr. Berry, He has bnt one leg; having lost tbe other io the Confederate army, but be is a flat-footed Democrat. If the resolution is carried oot in good faith it will strengthen tbe administration and bestow incal culable blessings on the coun try. THE SUPREME COURT JUDGE- SHIP. It is koown to tbe country that there is a vacancy on the United Sates Saprerue Court bench. When the neuoh is fall the Judges are overworked, and when there is a vacancy tmsiaes is h ndered and jastice defeated. After much delay the President, during tbe extra session, nomina ted Mr. Hornolower, of New Yoik, to the vacant judgeship, without Consulting the senators from New York aud the Senate refused to cop firm the appointment. On last Monday the President nominated Wheeler H. Peck ham for the portion. Pckham'a nomi nation is more objectionable to the New York Senators than that cf HornbloWer was, and a merry fight is do i on. There is notblog in the lives and characters of Horn blower and Peckbam to justify their nomina t ions. Bothnftbem have persistently opposed tbe Democratic organiza tion in the Stare of New Yoik, and assisted materially in Republican su".ces-. Tu - iioinm ition f Mr. Peckhaai should be ri-jeced by the Senaie. Public interests aamaod th t the vacaiic be tiili-d, bu: Mr. Cievel u ii should te foicrd u recognize, the fact lhar lie can't fid high aud re spun-ibie positions wish men whose ctiief rcoiu meudat luu is their h's tllity Io Senator Hill.

Fortunately lor u?, when onr fathers formed the Ueion they be- stowed on the Ooneral Government ; limited jiowets, and tiii States re mained the custodians of liif, lib erty and property . Many changes h ive taken place siuce the adop tion of th Federal Constitution, but through tli-m all the auton omy of the States his beon preser ved. w'e are proud of an sister Sta. ten, but iu the American constella tion no Star seines with a purer luster rhau North Caiolina Her past at. least is secure. Without a spot o i her escutcheon, her sons look to the future with hope and confidtnc . In tha fertility oi'a -r soil, the sa lubrity oi her climate and the treas ures locked in her mountains she has the promise of coming great ness; but Hiiieiior to thesH is brr reliance upin the bravery of airsous and the virtue of her daughters , Without disloyalty to the Union, it may tie said that, tbe people of North Carolina find little hope for the betterment of theirconditiou in the present aspect of national af fairs. The expectation that the restored Democracy would lift Irom their necks the burdens that oppress them is not being realized, and the Moses whom they fondly hoped would lend them to a Canaan, flowing with milk aud honey, seems to be lost in the wilderness. The princi ples rf Democracy aro as pure as ever, and the Chicago platform is the unrepealed law of tbe party, but "the heart is decitful above all things and desperately wick ed." In this condition of affairs we turn hopefully to the State. Here we may find whatever is essential to the happiness and welfare of the people. Her educational institutions are of a higb order, temples dedica"ed to tbe living God crown tier hills, and every facility is afforded for intel lectual An I moral improvement. Her administration of public affairs is wise and conservative, nod her con it-8 of justice are open to the humblest ot hercrizens. What thi-n is needed? Whit more than a in ml) selt'.rell. ancef We have no hostility to the Norti, and no hiug but the kindest feelings for tha vest.bnt "charitj begins at ho.ne, and, with ever prerequisite tor elt--u.pporr, it is supreme fol:y to continue to pro cure our maiiulac ured articles in tbe North and our provision sup plies in the West.

Hall on E;ist Carolina :i- voiceil in the Wilmington Messenger I lately, to which vc alluded at the time I has been pictty widely noticed, exlntcts taken from it and in some ca-ees the i efitire article copied. Col. Hall's estima.e ol New IWne as ; the centre ol future wealth is based on I good grounds. There is every indication that such; a condition is coming, and ami coming rapidly. Lund are increas- I ing in value, the erection of new build-j ings never ceases the year round, and the j demand for them keeps up with the up- j ply as last us they are built, it might be , nearer correct to say that the demand for them i the cause ot their being i built for as people realize the manifold ! advantages of New Heme, natural and j acquired homes are sought among us and the city is growing with each month that passes. Capitalists are realizing that .New Berne is going rapidly forward on a solid basis and investments are being sought for. We copy the following Irom the Wil mington Messenger and endorse it fully. While impressed with Col. Hall's en- e'gy and eluciency us and efficiency us a Government Dthcer in the discharge ol his duties, we are more impressed with his efforts to bring into public notoriety the almost unknown value of Eastern North Caro lina as a commercial and particularly agricultural portion of the continent of America. We are satisfied if the pi inters of Del aware, New Jersey and other .lorthern fruit and truck lands, were aware "I the immense advantages that portions of North Carolina possess over their lands and clinrate, they would migi'ite in great numbers and bring abundant capital with them to utilize the advantages to the utmost extent. From tho Virginia line all the way down the North Carolina coast, every acre and surrounding can be fully and valuably utilized. The great waters of the Albemarle aud Pamlico sounds abound with advantages ot the best oys ter and fishing trade in the Union. Eliza beth City, beautiful in its youth, stands surrounded by advantages of great de velopment surpassed by no spot on the coast. The old historic and colonial town of Edenton has a State history that every North Carolinian should be proud of. The fanning lands adjoining the sound were before Ihe war the garden spot of the Slat", ii not ol the continent, fjr be it remembered that less than a century ao North Carolina stood third on the list of the grain pro ducing States of the Union, and owing entirely to those lands and their products Hyde county to-day is certainly the great est grain producing county in North Carolina. New Berne, Col. Hall thinks, is the centre of future wealth, and ul all the most magnificent summer resorts with wuich the eastern coast is filled, he c.xv presses the opinion that Svvansboro, Ons low county, would certainly take the lead if it had the ordinajy moans of railroad transportation. The town is situated at tbe entrance of White Oak river into Bogue Bay. with an inlet of 150 yards width and 13 feet depth. The bay is three miles in width opposite the town and is separated from the ocean by a fine sea beach covered with tine forest trees tint could be made a splendid grove. The locality ot the town moreover is all that could be desired for health pur poses. Col. Hall states that the soil sur rounding is Admirably adapted to truck and fruit farming and the ordinary pro ducts ot the soil. As soon as a railroad brings it in connection with the outside world, Col. Hall says it will speak lbr it self. The time is rapidly approaching when t.naf portion of North Carolina will not only be the finest inNorth Caroliua but on the entire A tlantic coast of the Uni-m, on account ot its agneuh ure and pine lumber futilities, oyster and lidi advan tages, naval stores, climate advaiit.iis and healthful location. Wi i miiij ton Messenger. KIND WORDS The Weekly Journal a Typical Paper of the Live Place it R presents. Newspaper publishers, probably like most other men feel giateful for words of c inmendation when given in sincertv. In getting out the Fair Edition of the Weekly Journal we endeavered to make as creditable an issue as possible, one that would not only present the resources and advantages of this section, bill also foretell in our feeble way, 'he meriis of the splendid Exposition to be held in New Berne the week beginning February the 19th. Ol tlu kind words spoken, none are more appreciate than ! those in a letter written from a gentleman in Washington City to one of our prom inent townsmen aud shown us. We i quoLe "This morning's inai brought nie ! a copy ot the Wetklv Journal of Nov Berne.

CORHSTT'S VICTORY. Particulars of flip Krutal, Hut Speedi !y Ended Jacksonville Affair. i .1 ( kson vn.T.K, Fla., Jan. 25 As the time approached Mitchell was chaffing ; with his attendants, laughing, and in i every app'.ar.ince and matter was utterly unlike the eager young Calilbrnian, who wi's like a hound straining at lm leash. ' At last tie time L'ong rang out and the , short, -ii iip. di-peiate tight began, j THK FIKT ROrSI).

ItoINI). Ii.itind two Toward the close Corbett had worked Charlie over I'.ipes, where, after a mix-up, he .f this to the landed a straight lelt drive on Charlie kit tem ple and dropped him. At this point Coib .tt utterly !"( his head. If it had not been t'er Refcrrcc Kelly's heavy re ti. lining hand he would then and there lost the tight on a f.ul. He wan frantic to get to his man and tinijh linn. 1 II v. Til I i:d nor I). j Rmm, ,,, eD,.ing the minute s rest , ,.,. iX-tn-cc very serion-ly warned Corbett i aoollt Iounug. ami nis seconds impioretl I " to keep Ins head and not lose the prize loul. that was plainly his it he did not When the gong sounded Mitchell came up slowly and Corbett sprang at him 'there was only one tighter in the ring, and that was Corbett. He rushed Mitchell into a corner, where alter punching him in the nose with his left and drawing blood, lie swung on his jaw and knocked him down. Again he lost his bead and Kelly alone could not keep him away from Mitchell, who, half dayed, was waiting his ten seconds. The attendants from Corbctt'a corner jumped in the ring aud pushed Corbett away from his vicUim. Their arguments fell on deaf ears. The man was mad. The instant Mitchell was up Corbett plunged at him, smashing him in the mouth. Mitchell fell heavily nd the blood gushed from has mouth and nose. Again Corbet t's seconds broke into the ring and wound their arms around him, for only in that way could they reslriin him, as Jthe referee's , hand mti kedthe passing ten seconds. Every word the re leree said, the counting of the time -keepers, the appeal of Corl.ett's seconds, and the angry protests of Mitchell's nil these sounds w ere lost in the din of wild cheeis as the beat, n, bleeding Mitchell turned slowly on the floor and: at last staggered to his feet. Instinct prompted him to put up his hands but he stood a plain mark, defen seless and dazed, as orbett rushed at him, and swinging his right smashed a terrific olow squ ire on Mitchell's jaw. The Englishman led heavily on his side, roiled over on his face, senseless and knocked out. Corbett ciid not look at IiRji again. Any man w ho could have struck that blow would know that th man who received it would have to be canicd out of the ring. Even before the formality of counting out the defeated man had been gone through with Corbett was being hugged by his delighted friends and attendants. TOO QT ICK for realization. The spectators were nearly na craay with CAciterneiit as the men oh the plat form, and no one left the arena until alter Mitchell's seconds had lifted him up and carried him to his corner. The lightning-like work of Corbett in the round had been too rapid for most of the spectators to follow and understand. They saw Mitchell 'mocked down three times in rapid succession; saw him stretched out senseless and bleeding but how it was done wa3 a question which was asked by hundreds of men who had been staring at the deed they asked to have explained. A UEVENGFCL KNOCK-OUT BLOW. Those whose experience at the ringside enabled them to keep their senses and closely watch the only contestant in the ring who could act, saw that Corbett had struck .M;..chell ibat last awful blow to not alone knock him out, but to punish him alio. There was the hatred of years concentrated in that blow and a rage that could no; oe controlled by Corbett him self, whicii urged him to strike bis antag onist while he was struggling in the arms ol his seconds. Delaney and Dempsey were struggling with Corbett at one time, aud were scarcely able to hold him Irom rushing at Mitchell while the latter was on his knees. Delaney suddenly slapped Cor l.ett's face. It was not u love tap by any means, but a blow that would knock over many a man. It served iis purpose for it brought Corbett to his senses, and he went to hie seat. Mitchell had only one second more to regain his fret. He got up si wly and as . slowly Cor bett walked towud him. Tne veterans in anil about ti'.e ring knew, whit wis comine; ihe howling maniacs surround ing them were watching the tottering Briton. Corbett walked toward Mitchell politely walking aiouud Referee Kelly on his way. He measured his distance, looked a moment contemptuously at itchell, and then, with a startling sud denness, swung his right, lan ling square ly on Mi'ciiell s left j iw. It was not ti e swinging blow that Sullivan delivers, but a blow that stares with the arm drawn well back and the first almost j upposite the ear. It begins wiih a swing ami ends with a straight shoot.

There will never be another word heard about his lack ol hitting po.ver. He hammered .Mitchell terribly and delivered his blows with snap, precision, and wdiat some have de nied him tcrriflic force. Whiit Corbet t had a real, although not very apparent advantage in size, he had none in condition. Mitchell was tit to l att le if he ever was. Corbett is vastly Mitchell's superior in science, and that of course, has been the quality on which Mitchell has gained Ids great reputation. NEWS IN BRIEF.

THE URATE OF GOVERNOR ASH Its Neglected Condition Failure of the State to Errect Monuments to its Great Men. In an address delivered in Wilmington, on the 4th instant, bv the Hon. Alfred M. Waddell, bef .re the rand l,.d i North Carolina ol A F. and A. Ma.-v.u-. he says: "For many years past I have t -'t it to be a ii ty, w henever an appropriate occa sion presented itself", to call public atten tion to the fact that our State is the only civilized country on earth, which is still destitute of a single memorial stone, eret- tul hi tht 'suture, to show that she ever produced a man or a-i event worthy ol remembrance. l here is one such memorial stone over Richard Caswell at Kinston, but ii was erected chiefly by the Masons the State subscribing only a fraction ot the sum required and there are a very few others erected by communities or individuals, but not one by the State itself." These are facts known of all men and aie hardly creditable to us as a people. A Nation unmindful of its past, or forget ful of those who served it faithfully and well, in times of sore trial, would seem to be so from indifference or ignorance. In our immediate neighborhood there is the desecrated grave of a former New Bernian who was eminent and distin gilished in our Colonial and Itevolution ary days, its very location known to comparatively few, that of Abner Nash, who is I uried at "Pembroke," his old limitation, on the south bank of the River Trent, about three miles south-west of New Bern, near wheie was once, and may still be, a ferry on the old Beaufo.it road. The burial ground, without enclosure, and covered with a rank growth of bram bles and briars, lies in the midst of a cotton field. The graves of Gov. Nash, (who died in 1786), and of his daughter; though now but little more than a trench, are still plainly marked, hilt the gravestones are gone and most of the brick which formed the gravis; having been taken, it is said, by the Federal soldiery, during the late war to build hearthstones and chimneys for their win ter quarters. The writer has been told, too, that the marble slab which once covered the grave of Governor Nash, was later used as a block upon which to cut meat, and it was intimated that it is in New Bern now, in use for some such purpose. As to the truth of this, nothing, of course, is known, but it may be worth while to enquire whether anything is known oi it. One can hardly imagine a more forlorn and desolate spot than the old graveyard now, overgrown, plundered and deserted. What a commentary upon greatnessl Of the old homestead, too, hard by, the foundation only remains. Abner Nash was foremost amojg the men twho con tended for the rights of the Colonies, was leader of those who compelled the flight of th,e Royal Governor Martin from New Bern, having first taken Irora him several pieces of cannon; for which, and other acts. Martin reported him to the home government as the "principle pro moter of sedition.'1 Nash was prominent in our Provincial Congresses before and during the War of the Revolution, serving in 1776 as one of the committee that formulated the Con stitution of our State. Under that Con stitution he was the second Governor of the State, at a critical period of the war, and several tin.es represented New Bern, and Craven and Jones Counties, in the General Assembly. He was also one of our delegates in the Continental Congress, in w hich service he died; and now "none so poor to do him reverence," his only monument the County Nash, named in his honor. The people ol Edenton, to theircredit be it said, have removed the remains of Henderson Walker and Charles Eden, two of our Governors under the Propne tary Government, from their respective private burial grounds to St. Paul's Churchyard in Edenton, where their resting places are properly marked and eared for; bnt many of their successors, who lived in more troublous times, and rendered more efficient service, lie in unmarked and even unknown graves. Graham Daves. Good Weather Bureau Service. Ever since the middle of the day on Wednesday New Bernians have been ac quainted, by the meaDs of the weather bureau service at Messrs. Hackburn & Willett's store, with the comingof the cold wave now upon us. For a year past this firm has secured the weather forecasts and promptly made public, to the great satisfaction of our citizens, both by hoisting the weather signals and displaying the telegram on a bulletin board in front of their store as s on as they were received. Tho faith fulness with which they servo the public in this respect is commendable, and the convenient location of their store in a central and most frequent part of the city makes it easy for our people to acquaint themselves with the information thus given. The Journal, according to custom, gave news of the approaching bad weather and will continue to do so when changes of note are at hand so that all whether they have noticed the signal or not may know what weather to expect. Aurora and New Berne. The Progressive Age in speaking of Aurora says that within a radius of ten miles it contains over five thousand inhabitants and speaks of the lands as among the finest iu the world whether woodland for timber or cleared land for crops, tt states further that property ut i Aurora has increased 25 per cent in value in the last twelve months. This is the rich section of which we ; have often spoken and urged the build ing of a road that would bring it into , easy communication with New Berne. In j spite of the difficulty of reaching this 1 city we get a large share of Aurora's ; trade now but we would get a largely in creased share if the short cut road were ' built. New Car Coupler. Mr. J. W. Russ of Kinston has a model of a car coupler of his own design which not only appears to be different from any yet in use, but an improvement also. The device looks to be simple, safe and secure. I The engineer has complete controll in j coupling any number ot cars, and iu dis j connecting them there is no danger at all as the operator does not have to go between the cars or subject himself any risk. A patent has been applied for. i Mr. Russ is from KinstoD, but is con I sidenng moving to New Borne. Wc ' wish him much succesj in the venture.
