Work is progressing finely on the new steamer of the Neuse River Transporta tion Company. On Monday the work men were busy putting down the deck floor, calking the bottom, and "salting' the sides and ends. The Journal edi s tors are landsmen and were familiar "with salting meats, but salting down wood was something new. . Capt. Rob erts Bays it has wonderful preservative power and that he will use nearly two " tons on this steamer. . Nice . Job of Painting. Mr. Wm. Hay is doing an extra nice jdb of painting on the inside of Mr. L H. Cutler's house, on the corner of Hancock and Pollock streets. The ves 'tibule is a perfect beauty. ' Any one stepping in would be sure to halt and wonder, as they view the walls, where that beautiful oak came from, and that walnut, isn't it a beauty ! Yet it is all made with the painter's brush. Mr Hay has forty or fifty years' experience in the business and wields a tasty brush. Mr. Cutler is sparing neither pains nor money to make his residence one of the finest in the "city.

Barker of Carteret was in the city yesterday. . He says they have good crops good corn and good cotton ; in his neighborhood. Postmaster Manix showed us some fine radishes Yesterday. They would ' measure from five to six inches in cir cumference. They were nice in flavor as well as in size. The seed were sent to Mr. Manix by Hon. Q. Hubbs from the department. - Mrs. F. G. Simmons left for Morehead .City last night. Mr. J. C. Washington and lady of Kinston passed down to Morehead City last night. I'll Never Forget Yon. On returning from Morehead on Sun day night, the excursion train ran one oar off the track at Havelock and it seemed that the stay was likely to ex tend way into the night.' What a pros pect ! Nothing to eat, nor to drink, ex cent water, and that bad I But in a lit- , tie while a very clever steam-mill man who had been on the excursion, and whose bachelor quarters were near by brought in a small crate of beer for his friends. After freely refreshing the in ner man, Capt. , the politest of all the Conductors on the Midland railroad, exclaimed: "Ashley, old boy, I'll nev er forget you ! If you are ever caught on the railroad with no money, and I'm aboard, you shan't be put off 1" CUj Progrea. Mr. McLachlan is repairing his resi- ence on the corner of Pollock and Bern streets. Mr. F. M. Simmons is converting his cottage dwelling on Johnson street, fronting the Academy Green, into a handsome residence. ' ' The frame works of Mr. J. F. Ives1 residence, on the corner of Middle and Johnson streets, of Mr. C. T. Watson's, on the corner of Pollock and Metcalf , of Mr. T. A.' Green's, on the corner of Pol lock and East Frout.are nearly com' pleted. ' New hand rails have been put to the steps of the Masonic building. Mr. L. H. Cutler is building new fences, new outhouses, painting and re pairing generally, on the premises re- eutly purchased by him on the eorner Pollock and Hancock streets. The beautiful dwelling of Mr. Elijuh Ellis, on Souih Front, is about coin pleted. The work in highly creditable to the builder, Mr. Geo. W. Charlotte. Mr. W. Colligau, sour., is beginning the work of repairing ut his end of the town, near the Points. Mrs. Ellis' residence ou Pollock street is undergoing repairs Morehead Jotting. A trip to Morehead a few days ago gave a pleasant day's rest. It was seen that the SansSeuci hotel was very com' f oitably tilled and the Atlantic not so crowded. Could not a point be made on the benefits of advertising t The first hotel is very extensively ad vertised in the eastern papers, and we do not remember seeing in a single State paper an "ad" from the latter Dr. Blacknall seems rather to depend on little notices that "Governor Jarvis came down on Monday," President Da vis will arrive on the 10th of July," and 'all the rooms of the Atlantic are en gaged after the 12th" etc. There are two things nt the Atlantic that are very nice a very .clever and business like Clerk, Mr. Raney, . and first-class string band. The band, com posed of Robert Carmichael of Winston leader and playing 1st violin; S.. W, Chadwick Of Kinston, 2d violin; W. G B. Shelton, one of Levy's most accom plished pupils, Cornet; and two Italians with Clarionet and Flute, and with Prof. Fulman of New Berne, expected on aouoie Dase, win maice music as sweet as can well be rendered. It is said that the charges for beer. lemonade, etc., at the Atlantic Saloon are perfectly exorbitant (25 cents glass) and that Fred Perry's Mozart Sa loon further up the railroad is all the go. (The Journal Reporter doesn speak from experience," as he went to neither place.) To close up the day's pleasure the re porter had the pleasure of meeting the finest looking man in Carteret county: Dr. M. F. Arendell. lion. C. C. Clark. We think Fair Play, in noticing the Obiter ver publication of Mr. Clark's plan of couilty government, shows ' more temper than the article in the Observer would call for. We do not think Capt. Ashe intended to do Mr. Clark an in justice in printing only extracts, for it strikes us that even .upon a reading of the whole article Mr. Clark did, in sub stance, recommend the present System of county governments. True the ar ticle in its general scope plead for the fundamental doctrine that our govern ment is thoroughly representative in its character," but the Plan itself did pro pose the appointment bp the Governor of three Justices for each township, and that these Justices should constitute the Board of County Commissioners. ; Now we do not think Mr. Clark or his friends will accuse us of being prejudiced against him, and if the reading of the article strikes us in that light, it is reasouable to suppose that Capt. Ashe might take the same view without in tending to misrepresent, j It strikes us that Mr. Clark's true po sition is as follows: In 1876 the condi tion of county finances in eastern Caro lina were such that some change was necessary, in order to protect the prop erty owners. To effect this change Mr. "Clark drew up a Plan, similar in many respects to ante-bellum laws which Plan, with some of its liberal features omitted, was afterwards adopted, j Now the necessity for that plan has ceased, and it is thought best to return to the general principles of true representative government. And to such a view the editors of the Journal freely assent. Wise men are not ashamed to admit that they change their views, and we do not lose our respect for Mr. Clark .when we allege that he has changed in this matter. The Democratic party cannot afford to disparage or abuse Mr. Olark, nor do we think the more sensible of the party will desire to so do. We but repeat a matter of history when we say that but for him and two or three other kindred spirits there might never have been any successful Democratic party in North Carolina. In the convention just after the war, when Holdenism was taking possession of our State, and Democracy was odious because of the results of the war, C. C. Clark, P. H. Winston, William Eaton and Josiah Turner organized and set in motion the Conservative Party of North Carolina, and nominated Jonathan Worth for Governor, and with him set up the nu cleus of the opposition to Republicanism and Radicalism in all its forms. And with it all Mr. Clark has not thrust him self forward for gifts and offices, and deserves, and will receive the respect and estem of his countrymen even though he may slightly change his views on some political issue.

'rusting mat the cane may prove a statt and support to you for a full ceu tury, and that that rounded period may bring you all the pleasures and good for tune of which life is susceptible, and with kindred wishes for the good nednle you represent, we have the honor to be, on behalf of the New Berne Steam Fire Engine Company, Very respectfuly, James W. Moore, . Ephraim Hackburn, Rich'd H. Hilton. To J. W. Moore, Ephraim Hackburn, R. H. Hilton, Committee: Gentlemen: I was surprised and gratified to find, on my return from Norfolk, your handsome present await ing me. Rest assured that upon state occasions it will always make its appearance. It will recall to me many pleasant recollections. I formed many agreeable acquaintances on the occasion of your recent visit. I hope that in the future the social intercourse between the sister towns will be more frequent, and in business I know we will always desire each other's nrosnerilv. With sincere regards tor yourselves . a , . . and your most excellent Company, 1 remain, yours respectfully, Chas. F. Warren For the Joui-nul Capt. S. A. Anhe, Editor News and Observer. Sir; In the News and Observer of the 8th inst. you publish an article on the position of Hon. C. C. Clark in reference to the county government system, and to sustain your statements, you publish what you call extracts from a letter to the General Assembly of 1876 and from C. C. Clark, M. E. Manly and John Hughes. In reference to that ar ticie, i desire to propound a few ques tions. Why did you suppress the greater portion of that letter f Why did you publish garbled extracts, without indi cating that they were disconnected Why did you not publish the following portions of said letter: 'In considering the subject the under signed have kept constantly in view the fundamental aoctnne that our Govern ment M thoroughly representative in Us character; and they believe that this doc trine should be asserted, under wise and salutary restraints, in the administra tion of all public affairs, whether muni cipal, State or National. They have also taken into account the peculiar, if not anomalous, circumstances winch environ them, and they are profoundly solicitous to induce that peace and con tentment, without which no community can be prosperous and happy. It will be seen at once that with the wisdom and experience of the past shedding their light upon them, they propose no experiment, and favor only such changes and modifications as cannot be conve niently avoided. They have scanned the present and remembered the past, and confess an earnest longing to hll up the chasm which the war has made, and occupy again the old homestead where all were harmonious, united and happy. iney seen neittier to interfere with the convenience of any, nor the success "of any, nor the rights of any, yet they do seek to redress the grievances of all. They wish all to enjoy equal rights, equal privileges, and equal fortune; and would leave no son of Worth Carolina under the domination of ignorance and irresponsibility." And again : "The undersigned are confident that such a system of County government is admirably adapted to the people of the State; injuriously affecting none, and yet, restoring con tentmentaud prosperi ty to many who are afflicted with intol erable burdens. It retains, in the judg ment of the undersigned, the advantages of the ante-bellum system, while it dis cards its objectionable features; as, for example, the unlimited number of Justices, and the careless and irrespon Bible manner of their appointment. It assimilates itself, too, to the existing system enlarging, as it were, the num ber of commissioners to just representa tive proportions and produces so little derangement in details, that the transi tion from one system to the other will be scarcely perceptible. It gives fair representation to both parties, and every neighborhood, so that the vowe of none ahull be stifled when their property is to be taxed, or their interests offected." There is but one answer to these ques tions, and that is, because you know that if you had published the entire communication, and had made the statements which you did make, you would have stood convicted of violating certain commandment which your conduct indicates you consider more honored in the breach than in the ob servance. As to your statement that the plan. advocated in the letter alluded to, is the same substantially as the present sys tem, 1 cheerfully state, that 1 entertain too exalted an opinion of your intelli gence to insinuate even that I believe that statement to be a truthful expres sion of your convictions. You must have thought that you had the only copy of that letter extant, and, therefore, concluded that you could make such use of it as might suit your purpose, without anyone having the ability to supply the residue. In this fortunately you were mistaken. A copy of that letter had been handed the Jour nal of this city, for publication, before your article and garbled extracts ap peared. I have the evidence which your vainly thought was possessed by you alone, and, upon that evidence, I feel confident that every honest man will find you guilty of an offence which you have deliberately committed. If, sir, the honesty and intelligence evinced by .you, in this matter, are fair exponents ot that honesty and intelli gence for whose supremacy in the east you are contending, 1, tor one, rather than be in their power, prefer to be handed over to the rule and domination of the ignorant and irresponsible negro, as you are pleased to term him: for I have ever found this to be an undisputed fact, that moral depravity, when coupled with intelligence,: is a much more dangerous foe to civil society, than when united with 'ignorance.- You have at tempted to steal from one his good name and reputation, secure from detection Dy the possession, as you supposed, of all the evidence which could lead there to; and what assurance have we that, under similar circumstances, those who proiess your creed would not attempt the same liberty with the public funds. if you wish the Democratic party to succeed, you must learn to deal fairly with those who are at leant your equals, and, piobably, it might be said, your superiors in virture, intelligence, and patriotism. Fair Play. Our Churrltea on Sunday. PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH. The subject of the morning sermon by Rev. L. C. Vass, was '-The Robe and the crown," Luke 'ii: 11 decribes how Herod and his men of war set Christ at nought and arrayed Him in a "gorgeous robe;" Math. 27: 28, 29 tells how Pilate and the Roman soldiers stripped Christ and nut on Hun a "scarlet or vurule robe." From the Greek text and from classical and scriptural antiquities, it was shown that Herod followed his na tional custom and used the white robe. the royal and festive color; while mate put on the Saviour the purple military paiudamentum, the generally used mi perial color. The white was mingled wjth silver and guttered ihe "crown" was made from the Nubk tree, pliant and thorny, and with bright, green leaves like the holly, and imitating the laurel crown, always worn oy the emperor, liuerius.r Christ thus mocked was indeed the Great King, and His were by right the ri - i- Tk ii ,, i , nuues ui noyaity, unuirne immortal Crown of Victory. ' Looking at this scene, Mr. Vass drew from lessons; viz I. Salvation and grace come through a rejected Saviour., various ways of re jection were pointed out,.according to a variety of circumstances: just as Christ was mocked according to Jewish and Roman nations. Wonderful the grace shown to lost sinners, who treat God with contempt. II. Pardon flows from the royal bearing of scarlet sins, that white robes may be given. Christ bore our sins in ills own body on the tree. They were scarlet sins and whelmed Him in death but through that death sinners are washed white in the blood of the Lamb III Life comes from One crowned with sorrows and slain. Christ's sufferings were shown to be His thorny crown, His reproval was His glory, and man's salvation. For this Saviour man must endure; he must die unto sin, that he may live unto uod. The sutfering Christ will be his life, and his crown. IV. The aespisea ana mocked One is real King; and His Kingdom true and everlasting, The divine position of Jesus, as Lord over all, and the elements of immortali ty in His Kingdom were exhibited Essential and imnerishable truth was here, and though humanity might strive to strip otf the royal robes and crown Christ s Kingly office would abide, and His imperial scepter destroys all oppo nents. But a throne awaits His trusting and faithful followers.. These points were variously and ear nestly enforced and illustrated, and this glorious salvation freely offered to all. The blessed sacrament of the Lord supper was then administered, and the services concluded with an appropriate hymn. CHRIST CHURCH, P. K. REY. V. W. SHIELDS, RECTOR. Morning Prayer, Lessons, Epistle and Gospel for the 5th Sunday after Trinity Sermon by the. Rector. Text: Isaiah 53 chapter 2 and 3 v. : "He hath no form nor comeliness; and when we see him there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." ' The Rev. gentleman showed that the various sects the Pharisees, Saducees, Esceneea and Samaritans all had their places of worship, in which the outward forms of worship were rendered and were attractive by means of the beauty and grandeur of them. Yet there was wanting that spiritual life and beauty of holiness which becometh the people of God. There was one who moved among them a true Israelite indeed in whom there was no guile. . And to-day, while Christianity is di vided into sects, there are still repre sentatives of that meek and lowly one, whose loveliness could not he seen ex cept by the illumination of the spirit', and -whose- spuitual beauty is lost to those who are seeking a display of earthly grandeur. The world judges Christianity from an erroneous standpoint, taking gene rally a very low type of Christian char acter and looking more earnestly for the defects and errors of . professing Christians than for the beauty of Holi ness in the lives of the true disciples of our Lord. ST. cypreans church, p. e. (colored.) Rev, Mr. Cassey, Rector. There was a celebration of the Holy Communion by the Rev. Mr. Shields of Christ Church, assisted by the Rector. As there was a number of persons who were to receive this Holy Sacrament for the first persons who received the rite of confirmation at the late visitation of the Bishop, the Celebrant delivered a clear and instructive lecture upon the subject, basing his remarks upon the 6th chapter of St. John's Gospel, in which are these words: "I am that bread of . life. Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven that a man may eat thereof ana not die. i am the living bread which come down from heaven; if any man eat of this bread he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world." Also quoting from St. Paul's Epistle to the Corinthians, 10 and 11 chapters, in which he says: but let a man examine himself and so let him eat of that bread and drink of that cup." "for be that eateth, and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damna tion to Jiimself. Not discerning the LordsoxKly." Picnic at Maple cypress. Messrs. Editors: We had the plea sure of attending the picnic at Maple Cypress, in the upper part of this coun ty, on rnday the auth instant. It was given by a party of young men of the neighborhood, and the place selected was the oeautuui grove ot uapt. jonn . May, who received each visitor with cordial welcome and genuine hospi tality. Although the day was warm and dusty, yet at an early hour the grove was nlled with A merry crowd of the youth and beauty of Craven, Pitt and Greene counties, some playing cro quet, some swinging, with not a few paired on in some quiet nook talking what they were talking about we are not prepared to say, yet judging from the shy glances should not wonder if that mischievous little god, Cupid, was at work, bo the time passed pleasantly until 1 o clock, sharp, when the crown ing glory of all picnics, dinner, was an nounced. We repaired to the long and bountifully supplied table, and such a dinner, Messrs. editors, your corre spondentwill not attempt to describe bnqugh to say, however, that it was just such as the good people of Maple Cypress know how to prepare, with more left than was consumed. Then after refreshing with iced lemonade, the amusements were aeain resumed and continued till the twilight shadows warned the happy party that one more jasant day. was numbered with the joys of the past. All praise to the clever and handsome young gentlemen who managed the picnic so successfully Their kindness and urbanity will ever live in the memory of those who parti' cipated. . K. A Good Look. Mr. J. J. Gay, of the "Orton Planta tion," informs us that he has 240 acres under cultivation in rice, and that 190 acres of it will now average 3 feet in height, and is as hne and looks as favor able for an abundant crop as he ever saw. He thinks he may safely reckon upon (to bushels to the acre on an aver age. ) He has rice that is already headed out, which is about ntteen days in ad vance of ordinary seasons. w u. icevnew.
