An average, based on said data, gives the yield of the State about equal to last year. - European Intelligence. Loxdok, Nov. 10.

North Carolina, upon the representation that he had a purchaser for the lands. Reed destroyed the deeds, which had never been recorded, and substituted the false ones, in which , the names of a former mayor of Philadelphia, John Binns, once a well known alderman, and others were named as principals and witnesses. These deeds carrying with them the lands, were first recorded in North Carolina, and then sold tQ a party in Camdea. The charge is, also, made that Reed, in conjunction withi George N. Townsend, who is now awaiting trial on a similar charge, have put upon the market the forged deeds for nearly 40,000 acres of land in West Vir ginia, and that these deeds have been rec orded in that State. ----- - i - Stewart's Body Not Found The Manhattan Rank Robbery.

"JNoj my report will not be very impor tant 'this year. You know the session of Congress will be short, and if I should make a number of recommendations some important points might be omitted in leg islation." "What will you do about the Pacific MaU subsidy? The contract is about to expire, is not ?" 'Oh, it has already expired, but the company is still carrying the mail. I ik they will have trouble in trettine what they already claim from the govern ment. What do you intend tor say in your re port about the Brazil Steamship Line ?" "rsotning at ail. l snail make no recom mendations regarding the Pacific Mail or Brazilian lines, and shall not allude to them. Conjrrese mav do as it pleases and I shall carry outwhatever law it passes." "Both lines continue to carry the mails ?'' "Yes, but they carry them for the ocean postage, which is about two cents a letter. None of the steamship lines cret more now. I don't say anything as to the merits of the Brazil and other American lines, but I am in favor of encouraging American com merce in every legitimate way. It is some advantage for the. steamship lines to carry the mails. The thing gives them certain privileges and certain prestige. I believe they escape the payment of postage dues and one thiner and another. Concrress understands the subject; and no doubt those interested will bring it to the notice ot tne two houses. 1 here is no occasion for me to refer to the subject." -Do you intend to refer to any. of the in consistencies of the postal laws, such as charging two cents postage on a transient newspaper and one cent on a postal card of any length, and several other points to which allusion has been made in the newspapers?",- . rso, 1 don t think any change is like ly to be made in this short session." 'How about the fast mail service? 'Well, I am bothered a "good deal atout that," said the Postmaster Gener al. '"The service is running- beautifully now, and is satisfactory to everybody. There never was as perfect a system as the one in use now, ana n never was operated better. And yet we are runnincr behind on it.

"Oh, I intend to. 1 shall lay the whole thing before Congress and explain, as best I can, the importance of - it : then I shalf leave the two houses to do as thev please When I have to cut down, I shall tryto take off that which will be missed the least."

' BVIDEXTLY THB WROXO VIEW OFTHE ELEC TION'S. ; " Charlotte Southern Home. The Home foreseeing the great interests at stake and believing that the sober, sec ond thought of the great mass of people, would not allow the country to be flooded with an irredeemable paper currency and have the rarue of all property again un! settled, took ground in favor of a sound currency pr rather advised that the Dem ocratic party, for the present, should let the financial question alone, vv e believe it was tbe only pa peri in North Carolina to take such grounds. 3 The consequence or the affiliation with, theoretical inflationists, is, that the Greenbackers have ben every where sat down upon very heavily, and the uemocrais nave sustained ignominious ue fcats in some of their most important strongholds. THE FOURTH DISTRICT. i Raleigh Observer. I It will be conceded by all, - we think, that the faithful in this District have an undoubted right to beproudorthe result in the late election. The nominee of our party has carried the District Uy over- whelming odds against his leading oppo nent and dj. ciear majority over all opponents combined, greater than any Democrat ever before received. This of itself is sufficient cause for the proudest congratulations ; but when we remember that we had to fight not only the enemy in our front, but an enemy in rear also, and secret foes in the very midst of our own ranks, it seems scarcely credible that vic tory should have crowned our e Sorts. THE, XECKSSITT OF STAXDIXGi CF TO THE PAKTV. . Raleigh Obiervtr. ' In view of the lessons of the recent elec tion we think it safe to say that the three following propositions are indisputable : 1. That a caucus of the ; Democratic members will be held to select a Demo cratic candidate for every office that has to be filled bv the next Legislature. . 2. That all the Democratic members will go into the caucus forthat 5purposp-and that all will support the decision 'of the caucus by their ballots in the Legislature. 3. That no Democrat in caucus will vote for any man as a Democratic nominee who does not acknowledge the right of the caucus to pass upon his claims. Had these simple principles, constituting as they do the very essenca of the Demo cratic organization, been regarded "Waddell and Yeates, and not Russell and Martin, would now be members elect of the next Congress. HOW MRS. VANCE IMPRESSED A; GIFTED ED ITOR (MR. JOHN S. LOXO). Neicbfmian. lhe death of this excellent; lady is not onlv a loss to her distinguished husband but to the State also. We shall never forget the impression she made on us at the inauguration of our Chief Magistrate on last January a year ago. Clad in a neat, sober colored silk, standing in her private apartments which yet became the reception room for the most illustrious citizens of the Commonwealth, supported on either hand by accomplished lady friends,; who loved her, and gave her their cordial sympathy, and receiving the congratulations of North Carolina s most gifted sons, she was truly a woman to esteem, admire and cherish. No glittering gewgaws about her person, rt j no simpering nasn ot mannerism or fashionable affectation, nor; yet was there any cold, repellant stateliness of offi cial dignity. She looked like Cornelia might hate looked when Scipio Africanus came back triumphant over Carthage, or when the Gracchi had won their first vic tory in the politics of Rome. : Calm, self- possessed, a lady born and bred, her brow sharing the laurels of the campaign just ended, her life wedded to the most gallant knight of all that terrible onset of arms, the very sweetness of a happy wife and mother shone in every expression of her face. We do not know, that others saw her as we did. But to be introduced to her and to hear her talk at such a time and under such circumstances, caused a halo of romance to be woven; around her which to us has been one of the most plea sant memories of the past. - m i NORTH CAROLINA RAPTISTS.

N. B. Cobb and J. T. Webb were added to the Sunday school board. . The committee appointed to take into consideration the formation of a; ministers' relief board, and suggest a plan of opera tion, reported that the matter, under the circumstances, was not a proper subject for public discussion. The following were appointed a commit tee, in accordance with a resolution passed, yesterday, to make a report on the subject of the jdesecration of the Sabbath by rail road companies : W. B. Clement, J. S. Bridges. E. W. Tiraberlake, Lawson Knott and L. C. Dunn. The committee appointed to nominate preachers for the next session,! reported the following; To preach the introductory sermon, Rev. R. H. Griffith ; alternate, Rev. F. II. Jones. To preach the missionary sermon, Rev. W. R Gwaltney; alternate, Rev Prof. W. B. Royall. The discussion of the report of the board of missions was announced as the special J order for the hour. Rev, C. Durham referred to the fact that the published reports of the mission work did not show what the Baptists were doing. Many of ihe associations worked through their own boards, and he supposed that not one-tenth of the funds paid in Tor missions were shown by: the reports. He believed, further, that the Baptists were not only doing more than any other denomination, but were doing more per member. Rev. N. B. Cobb called attention to the fact that there was another mistakes made, in estimating the individual efforts of the Church ; while there were, according to the statistics of last year, over 150.000 mem bers and 1,607 churches in the State, only about 70,000 members, 720 churches and 360 ordained ministers belonged to this convention. In estimating the contribu tions, per capita, therefore, 70,000 members should be the basis. 1 he regular discussion of mission work was then begun ana a numoer oi tne mem r naxticin&ted in it. among whom were the following : Rev. J. B. Boone, Rev. E. L. Davis Prof. L. R. Mills. Rev. H. W. Rheinhardt, Rev Dr. Wingate, Rev. Dr. Jeter. Tt. J. J). IlafTham. Rv. F. M. Jordan and Rev. Dr. T. II. Pritchard.

The building was of granite. inree stories high and 104 feet long Iter. F. W. Eason also spoke for ski for ims institution.

Dr. Mcintosh, secretary of the board of home and Indian mission, to address the convention in ad vocacy of the causa which be represents in. Mcintosh, in the course of his re marks, explained that tbe object of the board he represented was to provide for the preaching of the Gospel by the Bap- 3i miuuicn m tOiaies woere ine Knowl edge of the Baptist doctrines was not known. It did not interfere with State missions; it aided that cause. .ThrouglLrG;v' churches had been located at importaat points in large cities. Its work among the Indians had also been most successful. There are twenty-tbree Baptist churches in the Creek nation and from 3,000 to 3,400 members. The great need now was schools for their children. At the conclusion ot the address. Rev. E. Dudson offered to be one of twenty to give $5 for this cause; others responded and the sum of $25 or $30 was raised. The committee to whom was referred the matter in relation to the violation of the Sabbath by the railroad comrmnies. with the resolutions of the Presbyterian synod. reported, expressing the opinion that it was inexpedient for the convention to make a petition as a body, but recommended that the citizens of the State resort to the right of petition for relief. After some discussion the report was re committed. r At his own request, Rev. Mr. Clehfcnt was excused from serving on the committee and Rev. J. C. Turner was appointed in his stead. EVENING SESSION. After religious exercises conducted bv Rev. F. M. Jordan, the president an nounced that the special order for this evening was the Charlotte church, and that the convention would go into a mass meeting on the subject. Rev. R. H. Griffith, who had been at one time and for eleven years a pastor of the church, first addressed the assembly, giving a lull history or the church from its organization up to the present time. He told how, after preaching for several years in the court house, to a mere handful of people, with only two members and they ladies, Rev. R. B. Jones had succeeded in building a church at a 'cost of between $3,000 and $4,000, then the handsomest church edifice in the town. The Baptists had suffered for years on account of the distance of its house of worship from the centre of the city. The members of the church were willing to do their best, but they couldu t do much. That they were zealous and liberal was testified to by the fact that they had spent $4,000 in the last eleven years in church improvements. Rev. J. S. Pnrefoy gave some reminis cences ot the tarlv struggles, rle said he had understood that the congregation would give $3,000. He couldn't do much but would guarantee 6,000 brick for the building. The pastor, Rev. Thos. Whitfield, reluc tantly spoke to the assembly, on account of his relations to the church. While the contributions were being made several short addresses were delivered loucnine me cosi oi me proposeu siruc- i 1 m ll. . A f J 1 1 - a .1 - - . . , . . ture, most of the speakers agreeing: that it should be about $10,000. A total of $1,007 50 was made, besides the contributions of materials, valued at about $150. M, aaE aK aa - Fighting for Life with u ougf&. Calvera CJironicle. Ned Wallace of Jesus Maria, Cal., kill ed a cougar the other day that measured eight feet in length. Mr. Wallace was out hunting, and came across a couple of young cougars, or panthers, isea snot one oi tne cubs dead and wounded the other. Ihe wounded one set up a crying and whining ! that was heard by its mother, and belore Wallace could reload his rifle, he was star tled by a scream so shrill and piercing that the sound seemed to penetrate to the mar row of his bones. Wallace is an experi enced hunter, and he well understood the significance ef that cry. He knew it came from the female cougar, an animal which, when aroused and enraged, has no superior in strength, activity and ferocity. A crash in the brush on the hillside above him, and a repetition of the frightful scream that sounded almost humane iu its expression of demoniacal fury, warned Wallace of his perilous situation, and he prepared to face the danger. His rifle was empty. With the utmost celerity he threw a handful of powder into the barrel and shoved a bullet down after it. As Wallace hurriedly fin ished capping the weapon and drew his knife, the cougar was within twenty feet of him, preparing to spring. Quick as thought Wallace levelled his rifle and fired, the bullet striking the panther .in the breast and inflicting a fatal wound. The cougar leaped fully ten feet into the air, and fell dead at Wallace's feet. The skins of the congar and her cubs are on exhition in Je 80S Maria. That of the full-grown animal measures eight feet in length. The Latfeat Ixmiffimna Duel. Iberia Sugar RovJ. On Thursday last, Messrs.

Mr. Conklintr may have teen indorsed bv tho irreatState of New York because he was orthodox on the currency question, but surely Mr. Camerou, in Pennsylvania, whose inumph is greater, was not indorsed for the same reason, ict the ablest ltepubhcau jour nals in the country are contending that the result of tbe elections is, above all, a rebuke to the inflationists. There are others a train bat attribute, the Republican triumph to the attitude of the South towards the negroes and the consequent raising of the bloody shirt at the North. Absurd I Tbe relations between the races were never so peaceful as they were in ihe late campaign. Except in South Carolina there was no real complaint of bull-dozing, aud it was only here and there at wide iutervals that in the face of such a state of affairs any body in the North was brazen enough to raise the bloody shirt.- In no campaign since the rebellion was crushed has the South played a part so subordinate as in that which lias just closed. As to the cypher dispatcher, about which the Tri bune is crowing so lustly, the lC8t answer, to the claim preferred in their behalf is that in New York the only prominent Democrats benefitted by the election were Mr. Cooper, to whom the cipher used was traced, and Mr. Tilden, whose fortunes the exposure of these dispatches was supposed most to affront. Thus we might go on; every Republican thinks tliat his bobby was the one upon which tbe party rode to victory.

The smash-up of a dramatic company in Ohio was caused as much by a peculiar dissension as by bad business. The com bination was run by George Fawcett Itowe, an actor who "stars" iu small towns, and among. the actresses were Mrs. Itowe and Miss Clayton, both . pretty women, in Springfield, O., as already mentioned in this paper, Miss Clayton took a seat in the audience and made fun of Mrs. llowe' acting ; whereupon Mrs, Itowe left the stage and returned to her hotel. The company disbanded soon afterward, and both actresses tell their trouble through the Dramatic Neu-$. Mrs. Itowe says : "My husband, whose dressing room at the Opera House was next to iiiss'Clay ton's, knocked at the door, and asked aloud, 'Have you any powder, my dear ?' 'Yes, Dolly,' answered J, an J ai I entered bis room to eive him the Dowder. I found Miss Clayton there, and 'Mr. Row nsing her powder. I became indignant and ordered J my husband to discharge her from the com pany at once, or I would leave." Miss Clayton says : "Mrs. Kowe refused to let Mr. Rowe use the same dressing room with her, consequently he took the first vacant room he could find, which nappeneS to be the one next to mine. Mrs. Kowe refused to lend him her , powder-pnff. ne then asked me for mine. I handed it over the door. Mrs. Rowe hearing him ask me, became very indignant, 'and abased him very roundly." - ' ' tteteorologieal.
