Now it is beyond doubt a larger stream and is susceptible of being made of greater advantage to the commerce of the entire country, than many rivers upon which the government has spent millions of dollars, t We suggest to our Greene county friends and to all others ' who feel an- interest in improving that important stream to know it 'no longer as av creek, but -as Moccasin river, -There is a good deal in a name. ; : New River Traffic. V - . We have no means of getting at the exact amount of freight carried out at New- river inlet annually, but have recently obtained figures upon which to approximate, it. -We- have been ih formed there are seven sail vessels that , run in and. out there regularly, each capable of carrying two hundred and fifty barrels of naval stores, and two - others of about equal tonriaga that make occasional trips. A friend in conver sation with the owner of oho of these , vessels during court week learned that ' his freights for the last year amounted 3,C70, ; and that' the' other boats ' did about as well. Now let us say nothing of the earnings of the occasional boats and put the-average earnings of the seven sail vessels- at $3,000 each.; we have the sum of $21,000 for carrying the produce of that country. It must be remembered also that in the Richlanda Boction much of the cotton is brought to New Berne, and some goes to Kinston, i o caiTving of which -if added to the f timer figures would swell the amount i.) near 45.000. -r - v .: We cite the above figures that capit r"i 'a may get an idea of the value of t o tralUck in that country even in its ; ! tod position.

" ; ' ,We have written up the proceedings of meetings where motions multiplied art n nd have fffinfirallv hfien able to . . " ' knowledge our inability to fully write up a Republican convention in Craven county. In fact, anything like a full account of all that was said and done in the convention yesterday would fill a very large book. So our readers must be content with simply a running account. A few minutes after 12 o'clock Messrs. Hancock , and Abbott, chairmen of the factions heretofore existing in the coun ty, entered the convention which had assembled in the court house and called the meeting to order. After considerable effort the bar was cleared and the dele gales and alternates requested to come in as their names were called. During the call the old feeling between the two factions showed itself, and at times was upon the verge of bursting forth wit'i all of its former fury, The delegates being seated Mr. Han cock arose and addressed them at length, and in our humble opinion enunciated doctrine that will unite the Democratic party and . roll up the old majority of 1876. He referred to the "Miserable Supreme Court", that had declared the Civil Rights bill unconstitutional, and said that the mission of the Republican party would not end until they had made a constitution that guaranteed "Civil Rights." He said it was the mean, low prejudice that the Democrats had against the negro, that caused them to establish and maintain the present system of county government, Mr. Abbott followed, him and said he endorsed all Capt. Hancock's speech but that part in which lie abused the Democrats. He said the Republicans must beat th Democrats but they could not afford to abuse them. His remarks were moderate and in good taste, Now for the temporary chairman. Another storm broaks loose and every body is whooping and shouting and mak- ing motions, while both the chairmen are on their feet Finally E. R. Dudley is made temporary chairman and C. E. Palmer secretary. How to appoint the committee on credentials raised another breeze. There were contested seats by delegates from the 5th ward and some other pre cinct, and some of the delegates wanted to relieve the chairman of the responsibility of appointing the committee to settle so important a matter. The chair, however, did ap point the committee, also one on resolu tions, and one on permanent organiza tion. The convention then adjourned to the theatre, where, speeches ,were made by Hons. O'Hara and Hubbs and Geo. H. White and L. J. Moore, Esqs The committee on permanent or ganization reported Mr. Isreal Abbott for permanent chairman and O E. Palmer, secretary. The committee on credentials reported against seating' any of the contested delegates, but the convention, by vote, after much wrangling, admitted rep resentatives from these precincts. Ev ry step towards reaching a ballot from this time, was ; fought , desperately, Finally it was decided to take up the nomination of county officers first. . The manner of voting brought forth another shower of motions, but the chairman proved lit himself equal , to the occasion and the voting viva voce com menced at about 7 p. m. and after sev eral efforts ' to call the roll,, duiing which time there was a little fisticuff in rear of the chair, Hahn was declared the nominee, amidst the shouts and huzzahs of the crowd.

No Office Seeker, James G. Scott In Jlcmoriam. At a meeting of the members of the bar attendant upon the Spring Term of Onslow Superior Court, Mr. Henry R Brvan was called to the chair, : and Frank Thompson, jr., was madeSecre tary. The chairman, after stating the object of tbe meeting, appointed Messrs. JN lxon, Stevenson and Manly as a committee to draft suitable resolutions in respect to the memory of the late James Graham Scott. In a little while, the committee reported as follows: Since the last term or unslow uourt, James Graham Scott, a member of this bar, has departed this life. Mr. Scott was born in the town of Hulsbora in the month of February, 1826. After re ceiving a classical education at the Uni versity of Worth Carolina, where he graduated in June, 1844, he studied law, and was licensed as an attorney in 1847 Mr. bcott removed to Unslow county about 1853, and continued to reside therein until the day of his death. lie ever had the confidence of the people of his adopted county, and he occupied positions of trust in the same. He represented the county and the sen atorial district in the Legislature, and was an honored member of the Consti tutional Convention of 1875. - Resolved, 1. That we, the members of the bar, practicing in Onslow county, have heard with sincere sorrow of the death of James G. Scott. That, in his death, the bar has lost an able, dignified and eloquent advo cate, Onslow county a wise, upright and conscientious citizen, and North Caro lina one of her most gifted, devoted and patriotic sons. - a. That, as a member of the bar he was faithful, modest and skillful in ar gument, kind and considerate to his fellow members and at ail times cour teous and respectful to the court. , 4. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, by the secretary of this meeting. o. That a copy of tbe proceedings of this meeting be sent to the New Berne Journal for publication, and that the Wilmington Star and News and Observer bo requested to copy. . v - 0, That the Solicitor be and he is hereby requested to present this report and resolutions to the court and ask that they be spread upon the record. . -. . : U.

Page, of Jones, is in town, looking after Congressional honors. He claims to have tho backing of four counties, x The bright and jovial Col. Nowitzky, with his valuable Indian nostrums and compounds, is with us again, making the "welkin ring" with his Vance-like eloquence and driving away the "blue devils" with his wit and jokes. The "illustrated Messenger Alma nac," presented by R. M. Johnson of the Goldsboro Messenger, is beautifully gotten up and contains much valuable statistical-information for the people, that cannot be found in any other single work. It is a good thing to get and to keep. Our town is quite lively this week. The wonderful Dr. Steacy and the mys terious Sitka are highly entertaining us with "tricks that are dark" and with Hoi-flashes from the Bpirit world. He has set one youth to hunt a lost fortune under a smith's forge, where thousands of dollars were concealed by his ances tor and induced another bright boy to take up the trade of milking imaginary cows and "cutting up many other didos." The numerous candidates for sheriff have taken lessons from the doctor in the mesmeric art and are practising on the "unterrified people" with untiring industry and varying success. Sheriff Davis, however, seems to lead them all in this strange art, hav ing Succeeded in bringing our photo graphio artist to the performance of the feat of stretching from chair to chair, on his back, stiff as a board. The business before tho Superior court, under the prompt decisions of the presiding Judge, is being rapidly dispatched. A number of misdemeanors have been disposed of. The case of Mosns Davis, colored, for entering and stealing from the store of W. F. Stanly, ended in his conviction and sontence to ten years to tho penitentiary. George Foy, colored, was convicted of assault with intent to commit rape and sent up for fifteen years. He gave a detailed account of his life in various counties and the deviltry of his deeds rivals those of "Puck's bad boy." During the sit ting of the court last Tuesday, the stove pipe becoming hot, broke looso and threatened the cremation of tho wbole Bar, if not the Court itself. This cata strophe, however, was fortunately pre vented by the prompt action of J. Jackson, Esq., who seized the hot pipe with his hands and saved the Bar and the Court. Thereupon a member of the New Berne Bar, who has a poetical as well as legal mind, apotheosized his brother Jackson in these lines: "The stove pipe in the court house fall, When to the rescue came, Jackson tall; And in his arms, he grasped it all, And loud his praise rang through the hall: He raised that tottering pipe on high, Saved many a mother from a sigh, This deed of might shall never die." The "Jackson tall" says the eminence of the mother of this poet is national, but the reputation of the son will en compass the earth and possibly make a Lord of him after the manner ot uaron Tennyson.

Stilly has captured the sheep killing dog which has destroyed so many sheep in the Uypress creek dis trict. Tom got him in a steel trap und made quick work of him when ho cap tured him. . I am sorry to say that our county or ders are selling in Trenton at 75 cents on tho dollar. Can any one inform us what is the cause of the depreciation of our county paper. Looks like there is some bad financiering somewhere Jones county can boast of her county pflicers; they are as obliging as any officers you can find in any of the coun ties that adjoin her, ana at the same time they will compare favorably as to competency too. , Now I would ask of all parties, can we better ourselves by electing new ones? They were elected and put into .office on their own proper fitness, without regaru to party, snail we this year have a new departure, or shall we let well enough alone? We shall see Our State Solicitor examined the office of our worthy: Superior Court Clerk and . reports that the books are well kept and all court; papers of every kind filed in their proper places with good ; order and well , arranged. . He also reported that the office was in need of furniture, that the office needed two eood , desks to protect papers, which were of value to the county ana ought to be under good locks.; lie . further stated in his report that there were a large number of Supreme uourt reports which needed binding in order to pre serve them, that some of tho pages were now lost and that it would, in his opin ion, bo economy to, have them bound A committee of the grand jury tisited our poor house during our court,: and I have been informed did not get lost this time, as one of their number acted as pilot. . They . reported that tho poor houso was now in fair condition; that the large house bad been Dowly covered with shingles; that the inmates were four in number and supplied with suit able food and a sufficiency of good clothing. They alBO recommend that there ought to be a new well dug, as the one now in use is over two hundred yards from the yard. Now, for the in1 formation or all concerned, 1 will 6tate that I saw two wells in the poor house yard, and the smell of the water was so offensive that the authorities had to have them filled up. The well wbich they are now using out of is good water and considered very healthy. When they used the water1 out of the wells COMMERCIAL. Journal Office, April 24, 6 P. M.
