A bridge one mile long at this rata would cost $26,400., The--writer thinks it would be much less burdensome for the county to build the bridge than for the people in that rortiou of. the county to pay ferriage. Drou niiig of Coiivlols. A correspondent of the Greensboro North' State, ' writing " from Asheville, makes a statement of facta, about the drowning of the eighteen convicts iu the Tuekawoee river. From his account wi learn that the . IS convicts were hained together and were forced into a ml and unsafe boat at the point of the bayonet. ., : It is horrifying to think of . currying men to dest ruction in this manner. This communication may not be true, but a full investigation ought to be made. And if true the men who did this work should be indicted for munlur. Peace Inwtltnte Properly. The stockholders of the Peace Innli- tute property held their annual election of officers in Raleigh on the 17th inst., resulting' in the following: President Mr. George Allen, .of New Berne. t Vice President Mr. Win.

His remains were brought homo for inter ment under the supervision of commit tees appointed by both Senate and House. On the part of the Senate Messrs.

In 18S0 ho was elected to Congress from the 3d District and dies only a few weeks before the expiration of his term of office. Tlio remains will reach Kinston this morning and b taken thence to Rich- hinds for interment. it How to Brace Up. As a Journal reporter walked down towards Dail's corner yesterday he met man making for Dr. Clark s olhce, when the following conversation passed: M.: "I am . going up hereto have a tooth pulled, and I have just taken a bis drink of apple brandy to stiffen me up." R." "Well, there was no need of that; they use nitrous oxide gaa now, and the tooth can be extracted without pain." M.: "Yes, but it braces me up braces me ud. so I can stand it, anyhow. This Is cold, chilly weather, anyhow." And he went on stepping high. Journalistic Compliment. We acknowledge with ( thanks the kind and generous compliment paid us in the last issue of the Newbernian. We appreciate it the more for the statement that we are "catholic enough to respect the opinions of others. " No man can weir publish a paper and keep his mind from being prejudiced on certain subjects and against certain peo ple; and while we can lay no claim to being free from this evil, we recognize that it is not the right way to conduct a paper, and are constantly trying to cor rect the tendency. Independence in oar own thoughts, and toleration for other peopled opinions, is the standard wc as pire to. 1'rocvens at the Cotton Parlor)'. "How aie things going now?" asked a Journal reporter of Mr, Dobson at the cotton factory yesterday. Mr. Dobson "Well. I have got own to just this: This machinery is orking well, well enough to pay hand somely, but I'm afraid we will have to import another population in order to get the labor." Reporter. "Why, what is the matter now?" . Mr. Dobson. "I want labor that can be relied upon. I don't want a portion of the machinery to be running one day and idol the next. need now three spinners; they are hero, it is true, but if employ them they may be here to morrow and somewhere else next day and again, a hand can, from the liosi tionhe occupies in the work, make it psy or not just as he takes a notion Now last Tuesday we done the best day work yet, and there is no reason why we should not do it every day. The work done on that day will pay all ex penses, and yet pot half the machinery was running. Taking that day b wor as a basis and running all the spindles, even at the present low price of yarn it would pay ten per cent. No one was hurt by over-work that day and I can see why it caii'tbe done every day Reporter. "When will you start the looms?" ; Mr. Dobson. "In about two Weeks will sho w you some plaids. " Washington Items- Evening 9.98 10.W) 10.13 10.20 Military Convention. A convention of delegates from the various organizations of the State Guard will be held in Raleigh on the twenty third of the present month. ' The purpose of the convention is to memorialize the General Assembly for an appropriation to assist in paying for armories and equipments' used by the Guard. The expenses of maintaining the companies heretofore have been borne by the members thereof. As such organizations are for the public good it is not improper that they should ask for the needed assistance from the State. ' Capt. Matt Manly has a communica tion from Lieut. Col. Washington Bryan in which the Adj't General and the General commanding this district urge a full representation from .the New B6rne company. - ,. ' ! . . Capt. Manly requests that every mem ber of the company who can attend the meeting at Raleigh will give his name to the Secretary, Mr. O. II. Guion, in order that transportation may be secured at a reduce:l rate. A full delegation from the New Berne company might the bet ter get from the State the improved arms and equipments. ; ." New Berne, Jan. 18th. Eprrort Journal: The pathetic lines published in your issue of to-day, ' as found among the papers of Mr. Hub bard, are from the pen of Judge Rich ard Henry Wilde, of Georgia, who was a member of the 86th Congress. Thirty years ago they were deemed worthy of incorporation into the "Gems of Ameri can poetry," and at a later date, became as "household words" among the ichil dren of the South being a favorite selec tion in our school reader. Very Respectfully, , ' Lady Reader. Washington and Vicinity. Dull times; resting from Xmas. John E. Jarvis died Sunday evening. Tankard's stables were full on Satur day. . ,v' Roads fearfully ."muddy since the thaw. '.-.... J. W. Hodges is epjargiug his gin house. Mr. Gordon, f Long Island (I think), at Carrow's. ' Miss Bettie Jenkins, of Martin county', has been visiting Sheriff Hodges' fanv Rams, blows, and is cold stormy weather generally, and I fear planters are getting behind hand. Rev. Geo. Joyner, of the Pantego district, is to live at Washington; pres ent nonie, Mariuoro, trait county. Capt. J. T, Sawyer, late of the steam or Edith, is to move from Makelyville, his present home, to Washington. The editor of the Watch Tower left on "Saturday for the purpose of delivering a memorial sermon near ttatn, on Sunday. F. M. Johnson, of Pantego, died on the 9th instant, of pneumonia. We ex tend to his bereaved parents our sincere sympathy. W. II. Wilkinson,- a merchant ' of Leechvillo, was in town on Saturday on his way home. Expect I'll see him again soon. ' John nodges, formerly of this place, late of Florida, is at home. ' I expect with him, like many others, it is "the old North btate forever." Rev. A. Latham, of Old Ford district preached at Old Ford on Sunday the 14th mst. ; in the afternoon he baptized a young lady. He has baptized nearly titty persons during the last six months Houses are in great demand, and many cannot obtain them that desire to locate here. Several persons have been disappointed recently. J. F. Daw says: "Blessed are they that expect nothing, for they will not be disappointed. " J. R. Hardison and his son Willie have rebuilt the Tranters Creek Mills, which were burned during the war, and near which Col. Singletary was killed. They have, or will have, a gin as well as a saw and grist mill. The water is bo high that they Cannot grind now. , Rice from $1.00 to 1.05. The beet cotton sells from 8 to 9 cents. The death rate in Beaufort county is enlarging daily. An action has been brought against E. M. Short, owner of the lute steamer Enterprise, for the cotton lost when she was burned on the Pamlico waters. The Weekly Journal is very popular n our section. J; W. Hodges, one of the best farmers in the county, says the ournal is the best paper in the State. Rev. George Joyner, of Marlboro, will remove his family to this town first of next month. He is held in high estepm the Pantego section where he has :Uiored the last year. Prof. Bagley's school is run strictly on the cash system. No pupil is ad mitted unless he has paid in advance. Sixty aro enrolled and there is an average attendance of fifty-seven. Sheriff Hodges complains of dull times in his office. Says since his re moral to town the business of his office is not sufficient to pay expenses. A small beginning alwayB makes a good ending. The streets of our town have not been so muddy in many years. The cross ings are exceedingly '.difficult, and it looks as if it will require several days of .warm and dry weather to make travelling agreeable. The editor of the Gazette is decidedly opposed to running a paper on the credit system. Those who refuse to pn.y in advance are unceremoniously erased from the list. He don't propose to carry any dead heads or complimentaries. Our merchants are complaining of dull times. The farmers.who have gone on the credit system the last year are unable to mpet their, obligations. The result is, the niortiiaces are being re newed and a trial of another year is given. . , A meeting of the citizens of Washing- tun will be held at the court house on Friday night to ascertain the sentiment of the town in asking the Legislature to pass an act to establish a Graded School The feeling is very strong in behalf of organizing a school upon the Graded School principle. A meeting of the Magistrates and Commissioners will be held on the second Tuesday in February to elect a Clerk of the Inferior court, Solicitor and County Superintendent of Public In struction. The aspirants for the posi tions are scattering, owing, we presume, to the small pay annexed to each office. John Jarvis, who kept a first-class tobacco store in , town, died Sunday evening. The belle toll almost daily, in forming us that some one is to be laid beneath the sod. The Pantego section iu mourning. ' Several aged and prominent citizens have died, and others are nearing the grave. A sad wail per vades nearly every part of the county. A very serious cutting affray took place on the Washington road last Sat urday night. It seems that Benj. Clark and Jethro Nobles had been to town on Saturday and both took too much red eye. On, their way home, and while stopping at a country store, they engaged in a row, when Clark walked up to Nobles and stabbed him in the breast, making a hole about three inches deep. Nobles bled profusely, but Dr. McDonald was summoned at once and had the wounded man brought to town and dressed his wound. He is doing well at this writing. Clark was brought before Justice Buck and bound over in the sum of $500 for his appearance at next Superior court. not let small obstacles prevent. After all difficulties it was a splendid, business-like event, to say the least of it. The Minister was notified to be present an hour before the time. The Doctor took position in the vestibule'. Sheriff Murrill accompanied the bride to' the church, where the Doctor met her jut before the eventful moment. A large assemblage witnessed the ceremony, showing the good will of njl towards the happy couple, who enU-r upon the voyage of life with bright prospects. . Caution iu Lpsislaf.'on. :..:'..' (Wil. St!ir.) ' ' The Now Berne Journal calls atten tion to the difference of treatment pro posed in dealing with the Atlantic Rail road and that which was applied to the Western North Carolina. A bill has been introduced in the Legislature to give away the State's interest in the At lantic road to a corporation that will un dertake to build a road from Smithfiehl to Salisbury. The Journal favors the sale of all of the State's railroad inter est but thinks the private stock should be protected. It says very justly: "North Carolina can't afford to de lude a number of her private citizons in to subscribing to stock iu a railroad, and tnen put the road into the hands ol a merciless corporation that will so man age the road that the said private stock will become worthless. It would be acting in bad faith." Among honorable men there can scarcely be any two opinions as to thiH matter. The Journal shows how this very tiling was regarded only two years ago when another railroad scheme was under painful consideration. That part of the Western road then completed was not given away, but 550,000 in bonds wan to bo paid the State," and the private stock was protected by especial enactment. The Journal cslis that this treatment he extended to the stock holders in tlio Atlantic, who hold ac tually more than a half mill ion of stock. Why should the Legislature be asked to discriminate against .Eastern men who have invested their money in on TSastern railroad. Tin? Journal holds, and we indorse the opinion, that "a North Caro lina Legislature Can't, afford - to make this great 'discrimination, even though the bill is introduced at the suggefition of the Governor." . . The present Legislature must be ex ceedingly discreet and act with the ut most fairness and good judgment if it does not mean to make capital for the Radical party in 1SS4. Extravagance in appropriations, or any disposition man ifested to treat unfairly and unjustly any section will be sure to react with unmistakable force in the next election. Bad management generally has had very much to do in bringing Tilden's majoiity of six years ago over 17,000 to the 423 majority of Judge Bennett in November 1882.
