THE GAPE ?V1 T7 A TTYr GENERAL CITY NEWS. :;. t r Lack f Shipping Facilities. We notice, in passing about the tbarre, that shipping is becoming tctrce. Why is this so ? The ware houses and wharves are full of cotton nd naval stores, but there are no vea jels to take them away. We have depth of water enough for vessels of ;00 or 800 tons to load witlr cargoes of cotton at bur ."wharves and proceed to ie. They can carry 14 feet from the -city to the ocean, which is as much art i ihip of 800 tons should draw loaded with cotton. Our compress is equal to my in the country and our stevedores, have stowed as large cargoes, per ton, ii at any port 4q the United States ; for example, Norwegian, brig Fram, 236 tons, cleared 24th December, 1875, for Lirerpool, with 920 bales, G. W. Small itevedbrc.' British barque Gladr stone, 267 tons, cleared 23d December, 1875, for Liverpool, with 1,100 bales, the same stevedore. British barque Xancy Holt, 819 tons, cleared October 28, 1875, for Liverpool, with 1,200 bales. ?;: . Mayor' Court. Geo. Nelson, ;; disorderly - conduct; judgment suspended on payment of C(ta.

Th' animal started toward the livery stables owned by Mr. Southerland, and would have doubtless killed the little boy but for the timely appearance of Mr. Lamb, who prevented the horse from entering the 'stall. The horse continued (o fun, however, and the child was almost ready to slip from the Middle when he recovered his self-possession, grasped the reins and sawed the horse's mouth with the bit until he succeeded in stopping him. A Mule Story. Last evening an amusing scene trans pired at the' market dock. A team of mules, with a Jcart, were to be carried over the river) in a flat. But the mules uid not much like the prospect of a Toyage upon the waters of the Cape fear. They; planted their forefeet firmly upon the cobble stones and "thar they stood." At last they were taken out from the cart and with a half doEen men with switches at their backs and two men leading them they were led on board the flat and taken across, Bullishness to? the contrary notwith standing. - Christmas Good. 'ow is the time to commence think ing about buying Christmas presents, ft . . . .' . i oe stores are beginning to wear a holiday aspect. The "good things" on which the juvenile heart so fondly aotes are piled up- on the shelves or re displayed in the show-cases. , Just here let us wrhisper a word into the ear of ye merchaut: Advertise your ' wares in the Cape Fb ar. Its rates are low, its circulation is fine, and now is the time for you to make a liberal eon tract. - t . The Poor.

GENERAL MiWH OK T11K DAY. The Radical Conspiracy Ho-nr It la Propomed to Count In llaye. From tk Xc York Herald. Here is one Republican view of the political situation : i "The Oregon case amounts to noth. ing. It is easy to so arrange that the Vice President shall open the Republi can returns and if he declares them in proper form no objection will be enter tained. In this way the question of the regularitv of returns will not come up at all in the joint convention. The electoral returns will there fhow Gov. Hayes chosen, and that business will not" lat long. The Iemocrats may protest but what good will it do them ? They may possibly go on and declare Mr.Tflden electeil by the Houne, but of what ue will that be to them ! Gov. Haves, being declared elected, will come here and be inaugurated ou the 4th of March. Who is to prevent that t Certainly not the present House; that will cease to exist at the cioc of the of March: its mcnders, unlets they have been re-elected, will be private citizens before the hour ar-! rives for the inauguration of the new President: they will have.asabody or as individuals, no right to'the floor of the House which anv private citizen lias not. Nor is this all. Not onlv will the present House be fundus of- win, mn xne ncx noue cannoi law fullv assemble until the first Monday in next December unless the nest Pres- ident summons it, and it is very doubij ful if Mr. Tilden, even if he should be so stilly as to allow somebody to declare him President, would want to summons the new House, for it has, probablv, a clitvlit T?fTnVlirir ma f im1 rirnn it it should prove to have a small Demo- crane majority, mere win unuouoieuiy be members of that side who will not encourage revolntionary nonsense. You see, therefore, that neither this House nor the next ha3 any real power in the matter. SOITI1 CAROLINA. Chamberlain is disgusted with his IK.it ion and prospects. He is moving icaven and earth to get elected by hi3 fragment of a Legislature as U. S. Sen ator, so that he may abandon the thieves, whom he has so often de nounced, to their fate,bntI)unn,Bowcn and Mackey are working hard for the same prize, and Elliot and Cardozo, both colored, are also fight iug for it on. the eoler line. Meantime Robertson is quietly scheming to be his own succes-r sor. 'l'he constitutional representa tives pay little heed to all this, and arc making ready themselves to select a Sendtor. The return of the injunction re straining Cardozo from drawing any public funds from the banks in Colum bia holding those funds will be heard on I hursday before Judge Carpenter. Before the injunction was obtained uardozo managed to overdraw his ac count to the tune of several thousand dollars. A prominent Northern Democrat, a member of the House caucus commit tee of ten, said in conversation on Sunday night that there was hope of an amicable adjustment of the exist ing differences respecting the counting of the electoral vote through the force of publtc opinion in the North. It is proper to say that very few others share this hope. : THE OR KG ON" COMPLICATION.
