THE Democrat says: Contrary to expectation the exodus of colored people from the neighborhood of Scotland Neck, in response to the promises of the labor agents, has begun in earnest. Gen. Chas. W. Field, a Demo crat and formerly a Major General under General E. E. Lee, has been appointed to a position in the War Record office in the War Depart ment. THE method of Mr. Cleveland's speech at Philadelphia was to ap ply trne Democratic principles to oar present condition, and of the Force bill he spoke as "a Federal lair with the scarcely-denied par pose of perpetrating partisan sup remacy."

This is perhaps the first comprehensive and philosophi cal explanation that has been made for lay readers of the practical applications of the results of bacteriology. Governor Fowle recommends that $25, 000 bi appropriated 60 that North Carolina may be pro perly represented by the exhibition of her products at the Chicago xpositiou. It will be money well spent. We are urging Virginia to vote a suitable snm for a like par pose, and it will be easier to get the appropriation through oar two nouses u we have the example ot North Carolina to encourage ns. What is more, we want the Virgin ia house at the Exposition to bea reproduction, except as to size, of our State Capitol.

We have an interesting sketch of the Naw Berne and Beaufort Canal from 13 earliest dnys to the present time from the able pon of Col . Jno. D Whit- forJ which we begin ' publishing this morning. A little four year daughter of Mr. L. F. Taylor, at Cove, was right badly burred last week. She was standing too near the Qre plaoe when her cloth ag caught, and but for her parents bsing near by she would probably have bien burnod to death. Cape. T. SI. Southgate remained at home on the last trip of the steamer Newberne on account of illness, but we are pleased to learn he is gstting better and may resume his duties on the next trip. Capt. J. T. Rhodes, the regular captain of the steamer Pamlico, is temporarily filling the position. It having been stated to the board of city councilmen that Mr. W. C Clark, of Wakefield, R. I., a representatiye of the Electric Light and Power Company, who ia now in town, was ready to sub mit a plan by whioh the controversy in regard to the electrio lights could be settled, a call meeting of the board will be held tonight for that purpose. The Contest for Registrar's Offloe Judge Henry R. Bryan tried his first case yesterday. .It was Green vs. Com' missioners of Craven county. The facts in the case are these: The commission ers, aa our readers know, rejected the bond offered by Mr. Geo. Green, jr., for the offloe of Register of Deeds, and appointed Mr. Jas. W. Biddle to fill the vacancy thus created. Mr. Green then made application for a mandamus re quiring the commissioners to pass on his bond for $5,(00, alleging that $15,000 was in excess of what they had a right to require, and pending the trial whioh was fixed for yesterday, a res training order waa served upon the commissioners to keep them from act ing on any other bond for that office Daring the trial issue of fact were raised by the pleadings, and ai the law reqnirea ieeues of fact to be decided by a jury the case waa oontinned for the trial of said issues at the February term of Craven Superior Court. This leave the matter aa before, no advantage having been gained by ell er party, and until a decision ia reao the present affable inoumbent, Mr. Jno. A. Richardson, smilingly ho'dj on to the offloe. . Mrs. C. R.. Thomas represents the roommlesioners: Messrs L. J. Mocre and O. H. Galon appear for the defend ants; and Meiira, W. W. Clark and S W. Hancock for Mr. Green. . Bringing Eastern Carolina Into Promi nence. We clip the following from theedi orial columns of the East ra Argno naut: It is strange, passing etranco. that so little is known in thu outside world, of the wonderful resources of Eastern North Carolina. No other counirv of fers greater inducements to the c pital- ist seeking investment for his ii;onev. or the industrious man of small means who withes to invest his little all, in a country that will guarantee him the ereatett return. Rich in the wonder ful wealth of forest, 'rich in vast fish eries and, better than all, its agricul tural interest the most profitable in the world. Lt the capitalist come and see for himself and be will become quickly convinced that judicious investments ill bring him in greater and surer re turns than anywhere else hi? can invest money. Let the man of moderate means carefully examine into our re sources and hn will surely be convinced that in no other ocuntry can he cast his lot wbere wealth will more surely fel low energy and industry. The above states clearly our situa tion. We have these R'l v.intaeea. We wish to brirg thtm (o the notice of others. How are we to do it? The question is faat briug polved. Tho East Carolina Fieh. Ofrttr, Game and Indus- rinl Association is a mighty factor in the work. Tho excellence of tho Now Berne Fair i;i known beyond this vicini- Yea, its fnia reaches beyond the State, an:! it m attt uried yearly by per- 'ins who are r.ot North Carolinians. ml no bettt r way for accomplishing he purpose tho Argonaut seeks can be found than fcr Mi tho couutiee round ti te well ropreeented at th:s Fair by Brlect exhibits of their rincip.il resources and products. The attendance at tho Fair increases with each pasainc year and there every indication of a larger num ber from distant parts of the State and from outside the State than ever efore, and tho. county that fails to have a good exhibit will bo neglectful of its own interest. Ono thing that give a good cause to believe that there wi 1 bo a larger attendance from a dutance is many friendly notices wo are receiving in papers all over the State and iu Vir- inia. Wo havo given come of them '.ready. Ilere aro pithy extracts from others that will eerve as samples of many. The Yi!ou Advacco says: "The Fiah and Oynier Fair at New Berne has become one of tha most popular Fairs n tha Stato " Tha Wilson IloiLiy r.cd Sentinel ad vises hh resteers thus, Gut up an ex hibit fcr tho New l?erno Fair that comes of! next month. It will doubtless be the largest r.cd hc6t Fair ever held there." Tho editor of tha Eli7.ibeth City Economist snya: "Without tho unex pected wo will bo 'thar' and bear a hand." The Norfolk Virginian speaks as fal lows: "The Now Barua journal de- clartfl 'thero v. ill bo no lack of variety at the Now Herco Fair.' It should have added 'or of a vast multitude of North Carolinians and Virginians, if they appreciate their own interests.' " Now can you thiak ot any sure way to reach, iuipiesa nud convince theee visitors of the superiority of all this sec tion than by having representative sam ples of all its products at the Fair. If you aro oonvinced of thi. bring them in not from Craven county alone but from every county in this vicinity. CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. January 12, 1891. Special meeting held this evening, Mayor in chair and Councilmen Whitty, Slover, Dunn, Lovick, Cosby, Miller, Holly and Kennedy present. Mayor stated meeting was called to oonsider the question of extending the A. & N. C. R. to Charlotte as requested in resolutions from board of aldermen of city of Goldsboro and other matters- Col. J. D. Whitford, being present, gave his views on the subject. On motion of Councilman Slover, the Mayor was authorized to appoint a com mittee of ten in accordance with the resolutions. Mr. W. Dunn, from the Fair Associa tion, asked if 60Eue arrangements could not be made whereby eoaie of the street lights could be used in the Fair grounds daring the ensuing Fair, and Mr. Clark from the Electrio Light Company stated that they wero ready to furnish tha lights provided the city would allow their removal from the streets. On motion of Councilman Miller the Mayor and Clerk, in connection with the Eleotno Light Company, were authorised to make a contract as to the removal of lights, whereby the city nor the Electrio Light and, Power Company should not waive any rights. Minutes read and meeting adjourned. a. H. Lane, Clerk For Sale, Two Twin Reversible Engines-12x80 new cylinders; balaooe in good order. James Redmond, Sec. & Treas. N. & T. R. S. B.

While the Journals excel lent, intelligent and vtry courteous local reporter, Mr. C. T. Hancock, ia generally engaged quietly ati.l modestly slipping around our city, from place to place, picking up items where they could be obtained, yet occasionally he reacbee out in a broader held, and then with a pertinacity that deserves if it does not always win success, lie has solicited for some time fiom the writer information relative to the New Berne & Beaufort canal, formerly the Club- root x Harlowe ( reek canal. This was promised, though for a period we were unable to secure the facts contemplated or that were desired for tho public by him. The Secretary of State of North Caro lina and the writer made a hasty ex amination of the record together, to fix tha exact date of the incorporation of the first company. It is wrapped up in the proceedings of the Legislature pre vious to 1800, and his engagements and my own did not allow uj at the time U pursue the matter to success. We know, however, it was some tixe be foro the beginning of this century, end back of this, perhaps, before the discovery of this continent by Colum bus, the Indians had cut a canal acrot-e the marshes, C63r the mouth of Neuse river, to enable tht m to avoid the rough and dangerous waters of Pamlico sound in passing to and fro in their canoe between Core sound and Neuse river. It U a monument to their enterprise elill plainly visible. Tae act below will explain itself: "An Act to Incorporate a Company to be called the Clubfoot & Harlowt Creek Company. 113. "Whereas the opening cf ,i commu nication between the rivers Neuse and Newport by moans of Clubfoot and Harlowe creeks has been long; deemed an object of great commercial impor tance, to effect which several laws have been heretofore passed; and whereas in pursuance of this object a company was aotually created for cutting a canal be tween the said creeks, all the shares of which company by purchase or other wise became the property of William McClure, formerly of Craven county, deceased; and whereaB, notwithstand ing large sums of money expended tn said canal by the said McClure the same at his death remained unliniahcii and the interest therein descended to his only daughter. Hannah McCluro. eince tho wife of William Hasten; whoreas by her recent death tho iuterer.t in said property hath accrued unto the .mid William Gaston, tenant by the courtesy for term of hia life, remainder in fee to her infant children, Alexander Gj.itou, 8usan Jano Gaston and Hannah Mar garet G.!ton.

Ceo to find Thomas Coohe. cf Carteret, IUnuers Neil, William Ward, and John Justice, of Craven, wero tppoiotel comruij sicners, etc. Thero were amendments addoJ l;y the L?gislatures of lb 18 and allowing tho books to be opened for selling new stock, etc. Tho diggim; of the canal was fatal to the bands, slaves, and many died while employed on tho work. The depth was 4 feet, width 24 at top, 18 bottom. Many bones of mastodons and other animals of past agos wore found, some only four feet below the surface. Among the fossils wero the bones of the horse. Indian relics were also obtained of various kinds. In 1871- 72 other aots were obtained by a company concerning this canal, as follows: "That for the purpose of providing a communication by water between the city of Newbern and the waters of Beaufort harbor," etc, eto. This company was composed cf Alex. C. Daves, Marshall Parks and others. It waa allowed to "dredge out and change the course of any river, bay or creek with which tho proposed canal may connect," etc. Again "said company shall be au thorized and empowered to purchase and hold any river or sea-going vessel which they may deem necessiry or convenient for business," etc. From this very point the object wpb to secure the State interest 250,000 in the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal Company and sell it for the benefit of that company alone as will be more plainly shown by the annexed bend the Newberne and Beaufort Canal had been transferred to tho Albemarle end Chesapeake Company. Dr. Caldwell in his timo plead earnestly against allowing these canals and beseeching our people to construct the Beaufort Harbor railroad before their ruin waa accomplished by them. For one little item there are now 250,000.000 feet of lumber and timber carried annually through them from North Carolina to Norfolk. J. D. W. (To be concluded in next issue.)
