Swift Galloway, of Wayne. That his learning in the law, his unswerving integrity, his conspio- uous fairness, his unequalled courtesy in and out of court to his brethren and the public have secured for him a warm place in tne love and confidence of all, and we ask leave to say this much of an to so faithful and efficient a public servant uuu bo eeuiai anu wormy - .

Some nickels in our pocket are now restless with his name thereon. For John is sick. Poer old fellow!

He been both moral and respectable. Rest- Jng or ' sunning himself on "the fre quented sidewalks and doorsteps, with his knotted stick in his crooked hands and his bent limbs drawn together. while not a repulsive object, ho has been one for genuine sympathy. And now the poor old fellow is sick and suffering. His open room is dreary in the" extreme. He mourns that he cannot get down town and to church. He says "he wants a piece of apple pie or potato-pudding; and he wants some money. He has nothing." We ought not to forget him. His last days should be comfortable. " ' Many of our kind oitizens have for years given him a small monthly sum, Was there ever a collector more prompt than John ? If so, who ? He consid' ered these sums as legal debts.

Lake Landing, Htde Co., j AprU 1, 1885. f Editor Joubnal: Ltst nieht at 12 'clock the whole of Mattamuskeet and even into tho region on the North side of the Lake, known as Fairfield, was aroused by the shrill sound of the whistle of the steamer Mareie. CaDt Alpheus Styron, of Washington, who was then in the canal with his staamer and very close to the Lake. Capt. Styron was anxious to proceed across the Lake to Fairfield with his steamer and take load of corn for Tarboro and would have, done so, had not his way been barred by the steam dredge. New Berne must look to her laurels. Where is the Neuse Transportation Co.? Will our merchants in New Berne sit still, and let Washington swoop up the trade of Fairfield? Is the crop on theNorth side of the Lake, another season, to be moved into the waters of Pamlico Sound by steamers from Washington or from New Berne? J. H. Our correspondent does not seem to be aware of the fact that the Elm City has been making a trip once a week to Wygocking Bay, Hyde county, for about one year. She has not made a trip for the last three or four weeks it is true, but it is because of an accident that the managers of the line could not prevent. She will, we presume, resume her regu lar trips as soon 'as the damages are repaired. The boat has been gradually working up freights in that section of the county which will improve with the opening of the canal. But there is one fficuHy about steamboating to points in Hyde county that any boat will meet, whether it be Capt. Styron with the Margie or Jay Gould with the yacht Atalanta, and that is there are yet a large number of sail boats in that sec tion and the farmers have more or less interest in them and for this reason will give them the carrying of their corn. This can only be changed by the steamers offering advantages that the sail boats can not, and then only after they have established a permanent line. A a frw Ani mnriVionfo loiff Inn , afill " US W WU UIV1VUMUV0 BlUVlUg V14 wnue Washington merchants ' swoop up the trade of Fairfield," we can not answer. We presume, they will be about their business. Certain it is they will not arm themselves and offer battle to the merchants of our sister town. If New Berne has better facilities for handling corn and can, on this account, pay better prices, it will be to the inter est of the farmers of Hyde county to send their corn here; per contra, if Washington . has better facilities and will offer better prices the farmers will find it out. New Berne has been threatened once before by the Margie. About a year ago she threatened to take all of the Onslow trade from both . Wilmington and New Berne. The company then in chargo of her published a flaming schedule in the Journal, for which they never paid us a cent, and the people around Swans- boro and Jacksonville were startled in a similar manner . to those at Fairfield and Mattamuskeet Lake by her whistle. Tho Mayoralty of Klnstou. Editor Journal: As the time is near at hand when thepoopleof Kineton will be called upon to decide who shall be their next mayor, it would ne wen lor them to look well to their interests be fore making up their minds as to who shall preside over and manage the af fairs of the town for the next twelve months. In the administration of the present incumbent we find everything to com mend him for re-election. The town has prospered in every essential. Our schools have, become more useful as well as ornamental; the growth of the town has been remarkable and without a parallel in the State; the good order maintained upon the streets was never better; the streets are in better condi tion than was ever before known; the fire department is well and efficiently managed: the finances of the town have been well and faithfully handled-tnot a cent misapplied or squandered: the town taxes are remarkably low; the sanitary condition of the town at the present time never had its equal; and without further enumeration we beg to say that every thing pertaining to the interest of the town has been faithfully and admirably taken care of by our present efficient and model mayor, Col, Geo. C. Moses. ; ; , ' - ' : ' ' In addition to the above, Col. Moses is a man of good property, large expe rience, big brains, kind-hearted, gentle but hrm in all things, with quick and deep penetration of thought, always to be found at tho right time and in the right place, and with, all the most popu- lar man in Eastern North Carolina, uov, Vance only excepted. . Mow let us go forward and re-elect this great and good man, our model mayor, and not only cover ourselves, but the town with immortal glory. . A. . U Kinston, April 10, 1885. Second Ward Meeting.

Mr. Gladstone However, Expect! a Peaceful Settlement Rusaia'a Prep aration. ' London, April 7. The Datiu Teiearaph says that 8,000 British re-enforcements will be sent to India, most of them from Egypt. Mr. U!ad8tone, replying to a memorial from members of the House of Commons in favor of submitting to arbitration the difficulties between England and Rus sia, says he sees no reason to doubt a peaceful settlement of pending troubles by ordinary diplomatic measures. Earl (irauvule has forwarded a des patch to Sir Edward Thornton, the British Ambassador at St. Petersburg, refusing to accede to the request of M. de liiers, the Kussian Foreign Minister to extend the line of .the debatable zone on the disputed Russo-Afghan frontier to the Parapamisus Mountains. Earl Granville insists that the Lessar line be the farthest limit, and urges an early meeting of the joint boundary commission. It is expected that Russia will yield these points, but it is thought to be certain that the boundary commis sion will disagree, j . i- a There was a slight renewal of the war feeling on the Stock Exchange to-day, owing to reports from St. Petersburg that Gen. Obrutcheff, the Chief of Staff of the Russian Army, had obtained the Czar's consent to the acceleration of the preparations for war. A despatch from India says the per manent railway to Quetta cannot be completed for two years. The orders issued are for a temporary line through Bolan Pass. Plans have been completed for tho transportation of two battalions daily to Rindii, the present terminus of the (juetta Railway. Another military review in the pros. ents of the Ameer was held to-day, on a still grander scale than that of yester day. . Another long despatch from Earl Dufferin, Viceroy of India, was received to-day at the Foreign Office. It was sent from Rawal Pindi, and is consid ered very important, in view of the presence of Ameer Abdurrahman at that point, and the cordial relations that have been established between him and the Viceroy, Lord Dufferin earnestly warns the Government to beware of Russian duplicity, and exposes certain intrigues which have been in progress for months past in the Ameer's court at Cabul. Many Kussian officers who have visited Cabul, during the past year have been - hospitably' entertained by the Ameer and by officers of his military household. It was ascertained some time ago that the visitors were repaying their host's hospitalities by prying into the secrets of the Afghan Government and sending their discoveries to St Petersburg. The visitors were in fact spies, although they attempted no dis guise as to their names or rank. The Ameer affected great cordiality toward the Russian officers, and finally led them into a trap. He allowed them ac cess to copies of his correspondence with Lord Ripon, who was then Viceroy of India, but not until he bad manufac tured a bogus set of despatches intended to show that a quarrel was imminent between Afghanistan and India. This correspondence was duly transmitted to St. Petersburg, and it has formed the basiu of Russia's negotiations with Afghanistan ever sinie. Lord Dufferin says, further, that sim ilar intrigues have been practised by Russian agents at Cabul very recently and even since the Ameer's departure for Rawal Pmdi, The Ameer, boweyer. is now convinced that England is his best friend, and Lord Dufferin expresses confidence in his loyalty. ST. PETERSBURG), April 7. The KUS- sian Government is malting active preparations to put the great naval and military station of Cronstadt in a state of complete defence. ' The harbor has already been protected by the sinking of hundreds of torpedoes in the ship channel. The Twentieth ; Division of infantry has been . ordered to be in readiness to leave Vladikavkas. A resriment of the Terek Cossack briead has started for the Trans-Caspian terri tory. Large forces of infantry and cavalry are echeloned near Askabad. Later The War Begun. London, April 911 a." m. General Komaroit, the Kussian commander, at tacked the fortified portions of the Afghans on Kuskh river, March 80. The Afghan force, numhering 4,000 men with eight cannon, was defeated.. Their loss was 60Q men killed and wounded All the artillery, two standards, the en tire camp equipage and all the pro visions were captured. The Russians lost one officer killed and three subal terns wounded, besides ten soldiers killed and twenty-nine wounded. 1:80 p. m. There has been a fall in the stock market this morning in conse quence of the receipt of intelligence of the Kussian attack on the Afghans at Kuskh river. Consols for money and account, which closed yesterday at 97 7-16, have fallen to 95. Russian securities have also fallen 6 points from the prices prevailing at the close of the market yesterday. London, April a. it ere is great ex citement on the London stock exchange, amounting to almost a panto over the news of the tight in Afghanistan; which is regarded as equivalent to a declara tion of war. -. Foreign funds are de moralized; Russians are quoted at 82 4 p. m. The cabinet council is now sitting and the result of its determina tions is awaited with great anxiety. England will at once demand of Kus sia an explanation of the Russian con duct in the foreign battle upon the Afghans. This demand will, it is un deretood, be coupled with the demand for the withdrawal' of the Russian forces to the north of Sarakhs. London;:?: April 9. St. ". Petersburg merchants . have telegraphed their agents at Paris not to consign goods for them Via the Baluo sea. in English ves sels. : , . .' .. . :. . ' Parliament reassembled to-day, after the Easter recess. In the1 House of Commons Mr. Gladstone confirmed the intelligence of the battle between the Russians and Afghans, and said: From the information which the gov ernment has received of the fight the Russians are apparently guilty of an un- ustmaoie attack on the Afghans. Eng- and has demanded from Russia full explanations in regard to the affair." In conclusion, he said that the govern ment had received no information cor roborative of the report that the Rus sians had occupied Pend jeh. l here is great agitation this evening in all the government departments. It is stated that 12,000 reinforcements will be at once sent to India. The first army reserve will probably be called out im mediately. The Earl of Dufferin ,at;Rawal Hindi, today was informed by telegraph what had occurred at Penjeh. He at once told Abdurrahman, Ameer of Afghanistan, and natiye Indian chiefs, who are in attendance at the councils. The native chiefs unanimously recom mended the immediate throwing of troops into Afghanistan. His recom mendation has been placed before the home government in London. . COMMEKCIAL. Journal Office.
