Tub CLOSB.-The three days of election,
the eventful period so anxiously looked for
ward to in North Qarolina, have come and
' have crone and have all been numbered in
the lonir list of vesterdavs. The crisis has
' comei has been with us and has passed away,
and we. of thia citv at least, can breathe
easier and more freely. With pride, and
gratification wc chronicle the fact that not
one disturbance of any kind, has occurred
between the people of this city. Not once
have the military authorities been called
unon to make an arrest, and not a case has
' been called up for trial before the municipal
court. We can proudly and gladly
nrA niaiiTr oooorf
that wc are, in t ho truest sense of the .word,1
law abiding people.
The result of the election in this State
will not, of course, be fully known for sever-
al days yet, and in the meantime specula-
tion and conjecture will ruu high. In some
instances large sums uavc uscu uut auu win
soon change bands; almo3tl every ' one will
i i i. .'.t i :it
: cither win or losc something. It has, of a
veri ty, been a stupendous campaign, and
neither tiino,. money nor individual exer
tions have been spared on either side to en
sure success; of course all business has fpltj
, in 'a greater or less degree, the effects of the
: general excitement, but the opening of next
: week will sec a new life and a new impetus
given toe very thing. There are few among
f us who will, not gladly hail the return of the
old order of things. . . '

Cold Water Needed. It is a funny
thing, but it is a true one. It is sometimes
a difficult matter here to obtain a glass of
water: On Sundays, when all of the stores
and saloons are closed, parties happening
"down town" are compelled, if they- drink
at all, to go to the river for water or else to
go thirsty. Yet there is plenty, of clear,
cool, delicious water from the hills above us
flowing on beneath our very feet to the river.
At. n. Rlivht ptnense to t!he citv treasury this
water could be brought to the. surface and
made to refresh the thirsty man. We recom-
1 mend the city authorities to ,. sink a . few
pumps at intervals along the principal
thoroughfares, and to thereby greatly benefit
the thirsty public. - . '

observed in the selection of a wife' We
- commend them to our young cotemporanes
in this citv. as we ourself are not 'I in the
matrimonial line at nresent. The rules are
as follows: ; V'j. !V.;.;.;l5
' . 1st, she should be well bred or I of" good
U extraction; 2d, she should be at least ten
, years younger than her husband; 3d, she
i should not be selected because she has money;
though a .'suitable woman with money has
an additional charm; 4tb, very old men
should not marry at all, but if . they will
marry, they may as well , marry their house-
keeners. if - thev can' iret alone with her

The Poultry BusiJ?ESS.--If some of those
livflig near this city and; engaged ; in truck
tarming would enter largely into the busP
ness- of - raising poultry for market,, they
would doubtless do well. Wilmington has
always ueen but poorly supplied in this line
and ill species of foul$ bring; at any time,
good prices here.' We have been assured by
those! who should know that the business
would pay any ? one engaged in it very
handsomely on all investments made. Y
icailuoad accident. a. sucni acciuent
n - a V 1 I A
occurred to the mail train on the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad, due here atV.SO A. M.
yesterday. It seems that when near Enheld,
at about 10 e'clock of the night previous, a
truckave way and two of the cars were dis
placed from the trade. No material damage
was sustained, and a mere detention of the
train was the only result. It arrived here
yesterday at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
Course of Lectures. R
v. HlXuSingle-
ton, Pastor of the First Presbyterian church
in this city, has determined upon giving in
his chtirch a series of lectures for the benefit
of the public at large. In accordance with
tms, ne wiu iuis evening ucuver me iirst oi
... ' il
the course. The public in general, but the
young people in particular, are all invited to
attend. The lecture is to commeuce at
8 o'clock. ; . .' .
1 i Fishing.' Numerous parties have already
gone out to try the perch : and trout in the
creeks and mill ponds of this city, but they
have generally returned with nothing - but
" fisherman V luck." Of coutse everybody
knows what ' fisherman's luck ?! is, and there
fore we will not define it bcre. -
Superior CouRT.This body will con
vene in this city this morning at 10 oclock.
Judge Barnes will be upon the bench, v The
session is a two weeks one and the "pressure
of business, as appears : by the docket, is
enormous, the number ot cases approximat
ing five hundred.
High Water. The water at this place is
higher than we have known it at any time
since the heavy freshet of last spring. The
rush of water from above, coupled with the
unusually heavy spring tides, almost forces
the volume over the caps ot the wharves.
Mayor's Couht. -Nothing was done at

that there were no criminals to j be tried.

extempore. r-- r ' '? ... . . 7 . ; .. ; r ::r v '
He alluded to the magnitude of the occasion.
He feared he lacked the ability to properly

The managers charged Mr. Johnson with evil

A . -1 Jl . - . . . ...
destitute of character, they accused the Presi-
dent of every thing from great political criminal 1
to common scold. Mr. iseison gave the rresi-
dent's biography in refutation of these charges
and assertions. ' ; n .
Those who like Nelson knew the President
best, sustained the President. Mr. Nelson felt
he was not addressing Senators as politicians, bnt
as Judges, who would rise above prejudice or
partyihe was coufident that out-side pressure
would be indignanuy repelled.
If be believed tne conviction a loregone con
clusion, humble as he was, he would scorn to
address them.
Mr. Nelson cited resolutions offered by Mr.
Johnson, and adopted by Congress, immediately
after the Bull Run disaster, declaring the pur
poses of the war, which are still unrepealed. To
tnese resoiuuons jar. wonnson was iaiuuui. - ,
Mr. Lincoln's policy after Lee's surrender was
based on these resolutions which Mr. Johnson
faithfully carried out ; ; "-; '
Congress claimed powers 5 in neconsuncuon
acts by implication. The President's power Was
more plainly implied. The President had aright
to his own opinion: honesty and integrity of mo
tive must be presumed in such a case.
Mr; Nelson claimed that Congress had justi
jlcd the President's policy in primary , recogni
tion of Virginia.! , - ,
Mr. Nelson argued the Judicial character of
the Senate,- and denounced . the claims of the
managers that the Senate was a law unto itself,
and could convict on common lame, as danger
ous to the country. ; . ' "'"; '
