Boston takes hold of the project of
a World s Fair with an enthusiasm
which is in striking contrast with New
York’s apathy. The date tacitly
agreed upon is 1885, and there see ins
to be little reason to doubt that the
fair will be held.
The electric light is certainly going
rapidly into use in New York. A few
months ago there was not an establish,
meat in that city using this light; now
there are more than a hundred lighted
by electricity. Gas was much slower
in making its way among us.
Jefferson Davis is reported by the
Toronton Mail as saying in that city
recently that hi thought the South was
morally politically and financially in a
far worse condition than before the
war, but that this was owing to its
present transition state, which he like
ned to a forest, healthy in its primeval
from, unhealthy while the cleaning up
process is being carried on, and healt
hier than ever when thoroughly cleared
and under cultivation.
The Treasury Department is now
counting the amount of 5 per cent,
bonds received for continuance at 35
per cent, interest, in excess of the
limit of §250,000,000 fixed by Secclary
Windom. All bonds mailed on the
day thn t the notification expired will
be received for continuance and this
will carry the amount considerably
in excess of the limit. Every mail
brings more bonds entitled to contin
uauce under this rul c, and the total
amountcontinued will exceed $260,-
000,000.
The trunk line railroad have again
reduced the rates for grain to twenty
live cent from Chicago to New York
and a still further reduction is promis
ed. Last year these roads were able
to keep the rates at thirty centsall the
summer and doagood business in grain
This season they have cut rates even
ns low as eighteen centsand had little
to do. The New Orleans Democrat
claims that this is chargeable to the
river route and the barge lines.
Mahonc is, appearantly, very stub
born is adhering to his contention that
the nomination for Lieutenant Gover
;md his own vote in the United States
Senate are sufficient compensation for
Republican support of the Readjuster
State ticket, and that the pending Uni
ted States Senatorship shall go to a I
Readjuster. The Republican State j
Committee together for the Culmina
tion of a protest against a collection
indicates that the Republican mana
g rsari epialy determined to have, the
Senatorship. It looks very much ns
if the stuggle were really between.wo
Senatorial aspirants, viz: Riddleber
gcr (Readjuster) and Wickham (Re
publican).
The only poli ies in North Carolina
is the liquor question, which promises
to have considerable effect in disrup
ting parties. Some weeks ago the
Prohibition Convention met. It was
presided over by the Governor of the
State and contained leading member
of both parties a fourth of the dele
gates being negroes. On' Tuesday
the Anti Prohibition Convention com
posed of live hundred members n large
number of whom were negroes, nu t
in Raleigh and was organized by T. N.
Cooper, Chairman of the Republican
.State Committee. The Republican
general oppose the new prohibition
bill, while the Democrats are much
split up oyer it.
Another scandal is dimly loomin'!
up, compared with which the star route
fraud may bein.-igniticent. Il eenters
now about the Custodian’s office. Res
ignation arc expected, and 'suspen
sion of public opinion ;” but the offi
cial implicated say that they acted
under order of persons high above
them in authority. Senator Davis, of
West Virginia, has been for years in
sisting that the bookkeeping at the
Treasury is contrived to cover up
frauds, and believes that there is an
enormous deficit in the Treasury. All
Investigation have thus far been
Ladled by the officials. The reason
why the departments have always
fought so desperately Io keep the Re
publicans in power, why the ringsand
star routes, ect., have contributed so
heavily to the campaigns, was the
dread of the exposure when the Dem
ocrats come in. Garfield is dragging
some villinuics to light, but the whole
truth will come out four years hence
whui the Democrats ( m< in.
I The Americus Recorder’s Dooly
county correspondent writes that
“nearly four hundred mortgages have
been recorded up to date in the office
-of clerk of the Superior Court against
parties in this county M<mtezmna
heads the. list, having 135; Vienna
e • camming next with fifty-seven,”
’ J The Republicans of Amluirst county
i Va., have resoluled i hat if there is no
f Republicanticket in lieGuhernatorial
- contest they will not vote; they wiil
| have no part or lot in any party but
r i the straightout Republican party, and
I- will keep their county organization
1 intact.
' One day last week near Senoia a
' negro man was convt isir g with two
* white men about a i nc patch of corn
: owned by the negro. Each of the white
men offered him twenty-five dollars
for patch, which price the negro re
i fused to take. During the conversa
tion Mr. Heusler walked up.ami upon
- being told what had passed, remarked
that three tools had met. The negro
' replied; “I think I have as much sense
r as you have.” From this a quarrel en
sued, which brought on a difficulty, in
which the negro received a lick, from
3 which the doctors think he will die.
f He had not spoken since he received
s the wound.
i
j .John F.Lewis, the Readjuster nom
s inee for Lieutenant Governor of Vir
. ginia, was a Senator from that State
I under the reconstructed government.
> He res ponded to the nomination of
- Mahone’s men, announcing himself a
I Republican and a Readjuster also. He
is a narrow and unscrupulous partis
an, and personally unpopular. His
nomination mny serve to assist th.
Repudiators to some of the Federal
spoil; otherwise it would not add
much strength to Mahoneism. Le wis
is Mahone’s first choice; in fact the en
tire ticket is of his selection, the noisy
mobo p a convention patiently regis
tering his slate at lest.
Rome is grately stirred over the
drowning of the little boy Williamson
whose body still lies it the Ootanaula.
The search for it has gone on since ;
Monday. The Courier state that a
cannon was carried to the river haul:
U ear where (he lad was drowned and
discharged several times, in hopes by
that means Io raise the body. Aftei
this failed, the Mountain City .steam
fire engine was brought into use, ami ’
by forcing the nozzle to near the bot
tom of the river water was forced ;
through it with the full force of the
full force of the engine. Thiscreated :
quite acommotion in the water, but
did not have the desired effect. The
parch ts are in the greal.es possible:
distress, and every possible expedient
is be’ng resorted to for the recovery
of his body. A diver has been sum-;
mond from Mobile.

The Philidelphia Evening News, a
stalwart organ, says: “The star route
theivesshould bo rigidly prose.eutc'd
anti punished',but it is passing strangii
that the or.lv person cap ible of detect.
I ing their guilt or urging their prosecu
ting is a bitter Democrat, who has
heretofore shown groat readiness the
use his power tosbield Democrats and
punish Republican.” It is rather
strange that a Democrat like A. M.
Gipson, who, it will be remembered
was so conspicuous in exposing the
Credit Mobilier frauds. should be em
ployed by President Garfield to track
the star-route theives but the fact only
goes to show that he can find no man
in his own corrupt party whom he is
willing to trust with the business.
President Gariiedd has a lively reco
lection of Gibson’s enterprise and
i sagacity as a proper of official corrup
tion.

New Orleans capitalists have just
had a meeting to organize a furniture
manufactory there on an extensive
scale, with a view of supplying not
only the city itself with all that kind
of wase.s but also the Mississippi Val
i ley. The speakeas were quiet en
i thusiastie about it and the Picayune
has no doubt of its success, inasmuch
as all the condition for a protitaldc
developcmentof that branch of me
chanical industry are ready at baud,
j \\ oods of all kinds are cheap and
I abundant, atftl prices of coal is as low
| aanywhere at the West. The heavi
; csl outlay would be for machinery :
1 but this, with the advantages of river
j transportation, it is reasoned, would
■ not be greater than the North ami
;IX cst have to meet. As to a supply
of workmen, «•> are told no appreln r
i sion is felt. The best cabinet makers
' may be hiredin New Orleans at the
present time for sg a day. "In the
. markets of Cuba," the I’i. nyu io re
minds us, "the most enterprising ot
our New Orleans lox manufacturers
even now undersell all the box facto
ries of Nma Scotia ami New Brims,
whk.and these never stop running
night or day."
Mr. Chase said to a painter who
' wanted to picture the Cabinet as j ap
peared when listening to the reading
of the cnmr.cipation pre, lamntiou :
‘‘l ineoln’s prociiniatiou,indeed 1 You
ought to havescen him w hen he called
■ the Cabinet together to read it to us.
I Ifhat ilid he do but read several chap--
■ ters of Artemus ITard to us so half an
1 li.mr, and at the end of that time lie
L -lapped the book together and drew
i out his proclamalion and read it! Isn't
i that solemn? Paint the Cabinet as-
