The county commissioners were in session on Monday last for the purpose of settling with the sheriff for taxes collected for the year 1883. Two hun dred and eight deeds were turned over , to the county against one hundred and - fiftythree last year. The, insolvent . poll list, however, is smaller by nearly "half than last year, and, we presume, smaller than it has been in this county lor many years, in this the sheriff is , to be commended, for the difficult work on a tax list must be in collecting from those who list nothing but a poll. ' Sheriff Hahn has reduced the insolvent list in this county since the advent of the JOUBNAL from' about twelve hun . dred to four hundred. There is yet ' room for improvement. At the late commencement of the University of Mississippi the degree of v LL. D. was conferred by the faculty and Board oi curators upon Kev. Joseph H. ioy, V. u., or at. tiouis, and fror. Higard, the scientist, of the University : or California. , - We clip the above from the Globe Democrat of St. Louis, which will be - gratifying news to the many friends of :. the Rev. Dr. Foy, who has received this - additional honor in his Western field of s labor. ;.The degree was deservedly con . f erred, and shows the appreciation of v the faculty and Board of Curators con ; f erring it, of one who, we are disposed to think, should have nover been per mitted to leave this State by the body of Christians to which he belongs the Disciples where his learning, peal and abilities are to much needed. .

"' ; ' j- ' 4 Witamb, Esq., of this State, is on . the committee to notify the nominees of Chicago Convention and Senator RanBom remains on the National Execu tive Committee,. , , Not for Butler. - ColV. Benjamin Askew, of Trenton sends a communication In which be denies, in very strong terms, that he ever favored Butler' as the nominee of the Democratic party, - as: Btated , in "Aaron's communication of last week We , would be pleased to publish the Colonel's communication, if couched in milder terms. We believe the item was intended as a joke, and a simple denial on the part of the Colonel would have been just as effectual, and, in our opinion, ' more so, as the language he uses." The Colonel has always been staunch Democrat, and if anything will cause him to lose his temper, it is for . anyone to intimate that he is .arty thing else ;: 'than a Democrat, But. punnose he had . been"- in favor of Butler 'for the nom ination, could anybody have doubt ed his Democracy on that ground? Most assuredly not," for Butler has served form as the Democratic Governor of ' ' issachusotts; was a delegate to the Chicago -Convention; was on the com mittee to . make a platform; was the champion of-the minority report, and made, a speech on the Bame. Had he is ot been a Democrat the convention ' 1 l -?v!1y have allowed him such i l - were accorded him-at . " i , t we think Col. Askew On the Corner. - The number of persons claiming the comforts of the friendly shade of Dail's shed and a few stray zephyrs of sum mer breeze from" the rippling Trent, was fully up to the average yesterday morning. Things in general were dis cussed and the question as to whether elevated railwaj s are narcotic in their tendency or provocative of insomnia was well ventilated and the statu of the railways unchanged. Some believing they were, and some believing they were not. The magical strength of the female phenomenon from Georgia now eliciting comment in New York, was illustrated and explained as-very simple, except that you can't understand it. The situation is favorable for keeping posted in what is going on, and you can learn of right smart that is not gf ing on at this point. ' - All the escursion parties by steamer pass here, all the steamer panKengers pass here, all the steamer freights pass here, and a good deal of leisure lime passes here. ' Mayor's Court. Charles Holland from Saturday's court disorderly conduct, loud and boisterous cursing on the streets or within city limits. Fined 2 and cost, or 15 days on the streets. Wm. H. Sherman; same charge and same judg ment. James Rayner, charged with same. offense by Charles Holland; case dismissed at Holland's cost. John Onnieny, charged with hi each of the peace In assaulting W. H. Sh rman; judgment $3 and costs, or 15 days on the public streets. The case of Lucy Williams, who was reported in Sunday's paper as convicted on the charge of keeping a disorderly house was an error. Lucy was only Charged with disorderly conduct and acquitted 6f that, so she was not of the party fined if 3 and cost, as stated. We feel gratified at the vigor with which the ordinance against loud and boisterous cursing on the streets or within the city limits is being enforced by the police. The offence is one easily checked and a few $2 or $5 penalties will soon induce parties to either curse at home or quit it. Note, from Morehead. Mr. Raney, of the Atlantic, has ad vices irom Mr. Alex. Summers, Vice President of the Tennessee Press Asso ciation, that on the 21st or 22d inst. that body will visit the Atlantic Hotel. The Reidsville Light Infantry, Capt. A. E. Ellington, will arrive at the At lantic on the 21st inst. A large number of ladies and gentlemen from tho Pied mont section Jwill accompany the com pany, which is one of the best in tho State Guard. - The boat race between the sharpies, which was to have come off on the 10th inst., has been postponed Until the 17th next. Thursday)- The entries will be numerous and the race will be one of the events of the season. An excursion to Morehead that day would pay well, no doubt; from Goldsboro down, or even from further up country. Senator Vance and family will arrive this week and remain perhaps a fort night. The Senator comes direct from Chicago. Mr. Raney will give a ball and reception in compliment to him. The arrival of people from Raleigh and points beyond will, it is expected, be numerous this' week and next. F. "The Annie,'' ; Editor Journal: Rev. N. M. Jurney, of Beaufort," N. C, has recently built. with his own hands, a-beautiful oharpie and named ner ."Annie. " she is per fect in model and the prettiest sharpie in the waters of Beaufort and Morehead. The "old tars" around Beaufort and Morehead . say that it is wonderful that an up-country preacher can come down here and build a boat with his own hands which "takes the cake.". Mr, Jurney thinks the "Annie" can outsail all the boats she may come in contact with of her dimensions. , We have just returned from a Bail with Mr J., where we had the oppor tunity of testing the Annie s" speed, as there were ether boats out on the water, and we find that she is indeed, a fast sailer. If . our friends of the fraternity want to see this boat and en joy a few days repose in these July days, they can do so by stopping at the Davis House, Beaufort, a. u - : . ' " '-' ..: .

EDrroB Jouenax: We think all cor porations should be subservient to the best interest ot the business community tnat support them. The managers of the A. &N. C R. R. ignore the wants and conveniences of the business men along their line of road by the running of the present schedule. They say that the passenger traffic or receipts by run ning in connection with the Richmond & Danville Road is enough to justify them in running their mail train as they do. There has been less travel over this road up to this time, and at this season, than has been for years. Fifty-one passengers left Tarbore last week for Nag's Head, their only objec tion to spending some considerable time at Morehead, City (which they pre ferred) was the trouble, annoyance and expense caused by the delay occasioned them by the present schedule, they being compelled to lay over a night and day at Goldsboro. What think the able manipulators of the finances of the Mul let Road to this? Postmaster General Gresham had bet ter advertise for proposals to take the mail from Goldsboro to Morehead Citv and annul the contract with the A. & N. C. R. R., for the Poet Office Depart ment has for years prided itself on the quick despatch of mails, and it will cer tainly lower its reputation if we are to depend on the A. & N.C. R. R. for an exemplification of its fast mail system. The managers of a railroad should, and they doubtless do, always in mak ing a schedule, consult, first, the interest of their road; second, the interest of their road; and third, the interest of their road. When they do this they will be sure to consult every business interest along their line. We believe the man agers of the A. & N. C. R. R. wish to mako a schedule for their road that will redound to the interest of all, and as soon as they discover that the present schedule is not the proper one we have no doubt that they will change it. One thing is certain, they cannot make close connection with both the R. & D. and the W. & W. unless these roads will make a schedule for that purpose, and this they will not do. We are confident that at the next meeting of the directors the matter will be fully discussed and that schedule adopted that is likely to produce the best results for the road, and consequently prove advantageous to the business men and traveling pub lic.

The National Cotton Exchange closes its "general remarks" on the conditiou of the cotton crop in June as follows Taking the whole cotton belt together the condition may be represented as better than at the close of May and a trine superior to last year, with pros pects, however, largely dependent upon early cessation of rain in the Atlantic States, and the crop, owing to lateless and deficient growth, subject to serious loss from an early frost or even one at average date. The rainfall for the week ending July 0th was excessive in the Atlantic States." Richlands Items It has been ' very rainy for tho past week. Politics seem to bo the topic of con versation these days.
