Hearne, of Newbern. The versatile Major is a regular knight- eriant of the quill, and is sometimes guilty of roaming into pastures new, but the New South Ims proved a bad , guesser this time. The article in ques tion, we are credibly informed, wrs written by a young man of this cLy who has had transmitted to him as a patrimony, the gift of the pen and the utterance of easy flowing sentences. He is a “chip of the old block,” and his abilities, by application, we pre dict, will yet shine in the journalistic line. Maj. Richard Cogdell Badger died at his residence in this city yesterday morning, after ^ long and painful ill ness. Maj. Badger was born in Raleigh, August 8th,• 1839. He was sprung from an illustrious ancestry. Ile was o descendant oi Richard Cogdell, the chairman of the committee of Safety at Newbern in the early days of the Revolution, and a son of Hon. Geo. E. Badger, perhaps the most distinguished public man yet produced in North Carolina, by his last wife, a daughter of Mr. Sherwood Haywood, and a lady greatly esteemed and beloved by a large circle of friends and relatives. After the usual preparation, Mr. Badger entered Cnapel Hill, where he was graduated in 1854, and having chosen the law as his profession, studied under Judge Pearson at Richmond Hill. On obtaining his license in 1860, he was elected county attorney for Wake, but the war soon after breaking out, he resigned and joined the Raleigh Rifles as a sergeant. Upon that com pany’s being assigned to the Four teenth Regiment, he was appointed by Col. Junius Daniel Sergeant-Major of the regiment. This position he held until the battle of Williamsburg, in which he distinguished himself by his gallantry,and Col. Daniel be appointed Brigadier-General, called him to his staff as Commissary, with the rank of Major. The health of his honored father failing, in December, 1864, Maj. Badger resigned and returned to Raleigh and accepted a position con nected with the Legislature. He also filled other places of trust under the government, and in 1872 he was elect ed a member of the Legislature from James Cooper, N. B. Norden, N. H. McCullers, N. G.

Both parties have already nominated their tickets, and an active canvass is in progress. Both parties also condemn the President’s veto of the Chinese bill. Oregon gave Garfield a plurality of only 671, v. hick the Democrats are con fident of overcoming. Judge Bond’s increasing unpopu larity with the Bourbo is, says the Na tional Republican, commends him more and more to the co ifidencc of all who desire an honest ballot. It became the duty of this eminent jurist a few years ago to sentence a good many Democrats to the penitentiary for Ku- klux outrages. It will be remembered that the Northern wing of the Demo cratic party was engaged in denying the existence of such an organization as the Ku-Klux Klan, when its mem bers came into court, confessed their crimes, and took their sentences from Judge Bond. The p esc it situation is like the Ku-Klux episode, except that the crimes charged a e less violent, although they are not a whit less pre judicial to good government. , It is reported that a dialogue, some what to the following effect, took place between a spectato of the present po litical trials and Mr. District Attorney Melton: Spectator: “Why, Mr. Melton, il you go on getting up your juries in this way you could convict the Apostle Paul himself!” Mr. Melton: “Yes, but if I did not get them up this wxy I could not con vict Judas Iscariot.”— Charleston {S.

This small piece of man’s handiwork might form the basis for a treatise and lectures innumerable. It was found on Petit An.se Island, near Vermilion Bay, oast of Louisiana. This island contains a mine o,f rock salt, which was discovered during the late war, and which seems to be unlimited in depth and extent. Not far from the surface of the salt the piece of matting v as discovered, and it was probably, preserved by the salt. Two feet above t' e matting were discovered the tusks and bores of an.elephant, and these bones were fourteen feet below the present sr 'face of the soil.

On the 2d inst., pursuant to a call made three weeks since, the executive committee of the State Anti-Prohibi tion Association, met at the Yarboro. Present: T. N. Cooper, J. E. O’Hara, William Johnston, E. P. Powers, J. H. Renfrow, J. J. Simms, C. J. Bailey, Natt. Atkinson, T. P. De vereux, proxy for William A. Moore. T. N. Cooper called the meeting to order and F. M. Sorrell, the secretary, acted in that capacity. Col. T. N. Cooper tendered his re signation as chairman of the commit tee. Col. William Johnston, of Char lotte, who had been elected a member, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of S. M. Carpenter, of Newbern, was then chosen chairman. There was considerable discussion, and finally a resolution was offered by J. E. O’Hara, calling for a State Anti- Prohibition Convention to be held in Raleigh, on Wednesday, June 7th. A committee, to which the work had been assigned, submitted the following address, which was adopted by the committee: To the People of North Carolina : This committee, being the only body representing the organization of last year, formed to defeat the class legis lation embodied in the Prohibition Act, do hereby ca>l a mass convention of the liberal, independent voters of the State, without regard to former political affi iations, to be held in the city of Raleigh, on the 7th of June, to present to he people of the State a platform of priucip es, and candidates for the State officers to be filled in the coming November election. In the opinion of this committee such action is right and proper, that those who honestly stood ior the right then, shall have the opportunity to ratify their action by the adoption ol principles and election of men op posed to the party organization which forced this unjust legislation upon them. The leadership and methods of this organization, the channel through which it speaks to the people, and the spirit of dictation and abuse with which it attempts to drive into its sup port those choosing to act for them- seives, demands the presentation o: tively. The colored people at a meeting in South Baltimore, recently organized an order of Regulators to secure for them selves greater advantages, legally, morally, financially, socially and politi cally. Col. Charles T. O’Ferrall is prom inently mentioned as the Democratic candidate for Congress in the seventh district of Virginia against Congress man Paul. Both reside at Harrison burg. In the House Mr. Humphrey, of Wis consin, from the Committee on the Ju diciary, has reported a bill fixing the pay for the Attorney of the Southern District of New York at $7,000 pei- annum. A bill repealing the law prohibiting ex-Confederate officers from appoint ment to positions in the army was the subject of a long political debate in the Senate a few days ago. No action was taken. Judge Lawrence, Comptroller of the National Treasury, is said to contem plate contesting with Speaker Keiffer the Republican nomination for Con gress in the latter’s district, whence Lawrence a'so hails. It is rumored that Mr. G. C. Fowler, Speaker of the Virginia House of Dele gates, will be Senator Mahone’s candi date for Congress in the ninth district, in place of Congressman Fulkerson, who is a friend of Mr. Massey. Ex-Senator Sargent began life as a journeyman printer. He has some re semblance in the face to Mr. Blaine. His wife is an ardent leader in the woman suffrage cause, and his daugh ter gives prominence as a writer. The Prohibitionists of Iowa have made a careful canvass and think they will be able to carry the prohibitory amendment by at least 20,000 majority. The opponents of the proposition, how ever. are making an energetic cam paign. Gen. Vaughn, of Memphis, Tenn, who has just returned to that city from a trip to Marshall county, Miss., says the colored people there are work ing better than ever known since the The question involved in a St. Louis lawsuit was whether a wink, said to have been made by the defendant, qualified the words which be uttered at the same time. He told the plaintiff to levy on the contents of a certain safe, and it was claimed that, by co vertly and expressively wirking, he reversed the meaning of what he said. The jury decided against the wink theory. The National Republican says: The man who has forgotten the joy of his adolescent soul when he was promoted from petticoats to pants can have no adequate conception of the hilarity of the senile Democracy as it counts up a few gains in township elections. There is more soul-felt exultation in its blatant jubilation than was ever expressed in the cackling of a pullet over her first evicular achievement. T. P. O’Connor, a member of the British Parliament, who has been in this country for several months as a representative of the Irish Land League, left New York for Liverpool on the steamship Wyoming Tuesday. During his American tour he has collected di rectly over 850,000, nearly a third of which came from California. Upon reaching England he will go to London and take part in the proceedings of Parliament. Now and then a Democratic member lachrymosely remarks that the Repub licans would not let the Democrats “reform” the tariff during the last Congress. What was the majority doing when the minority thus managed the House? Or was the majority of brains on the minority side? And why, if the Democrats desired to move in the direction of the free trade, did they unanimously vote for a protec tionist for Speaker? Abraham Lincoln, then President of the United States, signed the procla mation that practically emancipated a race from cruel bondage January 1st, 1863. Recently ex-United States Sen ator Bruce, now Register of the Trea sury, signed a number of bonds pay able to the order of the widow of the (7.) News and Courier. He Lefp his Bill.—A gentleman who bad spent half the winter at Washington endear oring to get a pri vate bill through Congress, returned to the bosom of his family a sadder and a wiser man. Shortly after his arrival he was met by a friend, who greeted him warmly with: “Glad to see you back again. How about your bill ?” “Bill—bill ?” said the disappointed solicitor, confusedly, with a dim re collection of an encoun er with the hotel-keeper, “I left it unpaid.— Brooklyn Eagle. The President of the United States has recently shown that he is one of the truest friends of the Mississippi Valley. His friendship is worth some thing, because he is in a position to render us great aid. He is an active, outspoken friend, He doen't want anything delayed. What can be done he wants done now, and Lie prods up the old, poke-easy Congress about it. Many of the ablest Republicans, led by th^ President, are ready to act without more delay. How is it with President Arthur to King Wilhelm. The new cable connecting Emden, Germany, with the Anglo-American cable system at Valentia, thus enabling messages to be transmitted directly be tween Germany, was opened Saturday with the following message from the Emperor to the President of the United States: “I am very happy to express to you, Mr. President, by the first telegraphic communication between Germany and America, my satisfaction on the com pletion of the work by which the friendly relations between the two nations will be more closely cemented.” The fo’ owing is President Arthur’s message in reply to Emperor William’s greeting: “I have received with much satis faction, as the first dispatch over the new line of telegraph between Germany and the United States, Your Majesty’s kind message. In common with all the people of the United States, so many of whom still speak the German tongue in their homes, I share in the pleasure which Your Majesty’s expres ses at the opening of this new line of communication, and in the faith that it will serve to promote the frendD re- ; lations which we desire, and which it ' w5d be my aim to preserve and in crease.” The Emperor’s message was trans mitted to Washington in nine minutes, and the President’s reply to Berlin in a fraction over ten minutes. the Democratic side? We are sorry to say it is not as we would like to have it. None of the powerful leaders in the North and East have ever said a good word for us. Senator Cockerell, of Missouri, is a very active friend, and it gives us pleasure to refer t. him. But many powerful Democrats are either directly opposed to the im- provemnts of the Mississippi, or are very indifferent about it. Mr. Sauls bury has expressed his decided oppo sition, and Senator Morgan’s conduct is in strange contrast with that of the Radical Kellogg, of Louisiana. We heard Ransom tell Mr. Lamar that he could not possibly aid the Mississippi River improvement. It is possible he has changed his mind since. If Mr. Bavard has ever done or said anything for us we have never heard ol it. We print these facts and refer to them be cause this journal is more devoted to building up the South, to the Missis sippi Valley, to its rights, to its mate rial interests, than it is to any party. Tne lower Mississippi Valley are more identified with those of the Northwest than those of the Southeast. Senator Morgan demonstrates this by his touch iness whenever the Mississippi is men tioned.

A jeweler and watchmaker at Mid dleburg, Vermont, has recently con structed a curious clock, which acts out to perfection the assassination of President Garfield. The machine is a common cuckoo clock, under which is a miniature depot. At the window is a ticket agent dealing out tickets, while at another a telegraph operator is seen busy at his work, and truck- men, porters,- train-dispatchers, etc., are all flying around as natural as life. All these figures are of wood about two inches long. At the end of each hour the cuckoo announces the fact, and immediately Garfield appears on the platform on which the scene is en acted, accompanied by Blaine. Guiteau is seen to follow him, hav ing just alighted from a truck wagon, and as he fires at the President the Deter falls. Just then a train of cars chines dashing in, and in the confusion all the principal actors are carried into the depot, out of sight. After the train-dispatcher has given the signal and the train has gone, a small door at the left opens and a priest appears, book in hand, in the act of reading a funeral service, while at the same time another door opens and Guiteau ap pears on the gallows. The priest re tires, and shortly after the gallows dis appears with Guiteau, and the door closes. This is acted out at the end of each hour, and takes about three min utes.—Richmond Whig.

After passing resolutions congratu lating the party upon its prospects, providing for election of delegates, and returning thanks to the chairman, Octavius Coke, Esq., the convention adjourned. “Turn on the Lights.” When the Democracy of Raleigh suc ceeded, by the aid of a legislative en actment and a gerrymander, in obtain ing control of the city, they declared their intention to institute an era of economy and reform. After their first fiscal year’s occupation, a rigid exam ination of the accounts of its officers was had, in a like manner as had al ways been pursued under Republican administrations, (by the appointment of two experts differing in politics) and every official holding a fiduciary trust was a default—we mean, was “behind hand!” Since then, these examina- _ tions have “played out.J’ A new method of examination was instituted, and the finances of Raleigh have ever since remained a sealed book to the average citizen. A large body of our people sincerely desire a return to.the old method of examination of officials’ accounts, and have some little curiosi ty to see what goes with the taxes which have doubled in amount since the gerrymanders went in. A dry ab stract or statement made by those most concerned in handling the money is very unsatisfactory to those interested as well as to the curious. A ventilla tion of at least once in eight or ten years ought surely to be afforded to those outside the “ring.” tins movement. A majority of the press of the State which supported this odious legislation of last year, continues to misrepresent us.

In this movement principle.-, are in volved which should be cherished by every freeman, and it is our duty to see that they are protected agains this intolerant spirit which strikes not only a. the personal freedom of the citizen, but also at the priaciph s oi local self-government. The bitterness with which we were denounced last summer lives not alone on the tongues of our defamer* but has tancn root deep down into their hearts.

Of course, everybody will say it is a good appoint ment, as we know it is; and the coun try and appointee are equally to be felicitated upon the selection President Arthur has made in this instance, at least, even if he had to go out of his party to make it.—Richmond State. The streets of Paris are in great part sprinkled by hose attached to hydrants, which are found to costa half less than watering carts, of which, however, 35.0 are employed. The scavengering and sprinkling, both of which are ad mirably performed, cost §1,000,000. They manage many things very well in Paris, undoubtedly, and get something for their money, but the municipal tax- a^on is by far the . heaviest in Europe, with possibly the exception of St. Pe- will, after all the denials, be brought to bear upon the Hon.

William L. Dayton, who goes as the American Minister to the Nether lands, is a son of William L D ivton, Fremont’s second on the ticket of 1856. Many of the newspapers have mentioned the elder Diyton as the new Minister, but he has been dead eighteen years. The House has passed a bill for the tersburg.

Mr. Arthur says save the Valley, and Mr. Tilden says Jefferson was an excellent Tilden Democrat. Now, what will the Mis sissippi Valley say? In our opinion it should say the Mississippi Valley in tends to look niter its own interests, co-operate with those who will treat it justly and aid it, and leave sentiment to look after sentiment.— V-cksbu^ Herald. __________ A Party in a Bad Fix- If Z. B. Vance, M. W. Ransom, T. J . Jarvis, R. B. Vance, and a few others that we might name of the Democratic party in this State, should happen to “shuffle off this mortal coil,” the party would certainly be in a bad fix, as they appear to be the “chief head men” and owners of the porty and its offices, by general consent, endorsed by most of their Mewspapers. How long these “professionals” will be allowed to “hold the fort,” is in the future; but it is quite certain they will continue till choked off, or Providentially re moved—and it is stated that a Demo crat never resigns, and will die when only lie must. This is a bad showing for young men, who hope to “come to the front,” and patient waiting, will only defer an opportunity, which in vites them elsewhere in a party of progress and vigorous growth.—States ville America ?z. . The Sudden Death of Rear Admi ral Spotts.—Captain Weaver, of the South Atlantic squadron, writes to the Navy Department from Montevideo giv ing a detailed account of the death of Rear-Admiral Spotts, which occurred at Falkland Islands on the- 9th of March. The admiral was stricken with apoplexy, Marriage in. the Far North. Go wherever you will, men are mar rying and women are being given in marriage. The correspondent of the Ne v York Herald, who has gone to the relief of the Jeannette’s survivors, in passing from Orenburg to Omsk, in western Siberia, by sledge, a distance of 1,000 miles, went through numerous villages in which festivals were being held. It was just before the long sea son of religious fasts, when it is the custom of the young people there to marry. In a score of villages through which he passed weddings seemed to be the only occupation going on. Sledges, driven by wreath-crowned peasants, c.owded to the fullest extent with girls of all ages, from six to thir ty, all singing with unpleasantly high, screeching voices, pass back and forth along the village streets, or are driven in procession around the little wooden church. The older peasants, the rel atives of bride and bridegroom, stay inside and get dead drunk in honor of the occasion. This lastwould seem to indicate that there is a good deal of civilization in Siberia.—Exchange.

It can not expect the support of our Senators, Congressmen, nor of us as a political organization.
