We have been informed that a new Compa-

Sing business mon for the navigation Of the
Cape Fear River, under the title Of the IS The
Cape Fear Navigation Company" The OBJ
jecs Of this Company is to place boats upon
the river Of such light draught as will secure
navigation at almost every stage Of the water.
For this purpose new Lighters, Of the very
lightest draught, have been contracted for; and
a gentleman has gone on TO the North 10 pnr-
chase new steamer Of the very least possible
draught that can be procured. The steamer
Cotton Plant, belonging to the Company, is
now undergoing thorough repair. We learn
that the Company will be ready to 60 into op'
Grafton by the first of next month. BY this
new arrangement. greatly increased facilities
will be afforded to our back country friends
for getting their goods from Wilmington
We wish the new Company all manner OF
success, and that its operations may prove
profitable to itself and advantageous 10 the
community at large.

A report having got abroad that our Minis
ter in England, Mr.. McLane, was dissatisfied
with his position, because it was alledged thai
he was not entrusted with the negotiation Of
the Oregon question; and further, that be had
expressed desire to return home, the Union
of the 18th inst, thus puts to rest these idle
and false rumors:
The wholly false report that this gentle.
man is dissatisfied in his present position. and
that he wishes to return to this country, be.
cause he is not Entrusted tvith the settlement Of
the Oregon question, has run the rounds of the
whole whig press. 1t is reiterated again il
every variety of form, and we notice that it is
this morning repeated in the intelligencer.
We now reply to it for the last time. We
state, IF our ovn personal kn0Wledge, that MIR
McLane, when he went to England, consider
ed it highly expedicnt that the Oregon nego
tiation should be conducted at Washington
and that he entertained this opinion, too, OIL
conclusive reasons growing out Of the nature
Of the question itself, and wholly Independent
of any limitations from the administration a:
10 the line Of negotiation to be adopted.
We say further, that Mr.. McLane ,Das no
charged With the Oregon negotiation, and tina
he was perfectly satisfied with that arrange
nent. And we add to these statements tn
fact, that if Mr.. McLane desires to return from
his MISSION, no intimation of such desire ha
been received here. That he wishes to return
in spirit Of dissatisfaction and disgust, W
learn from the best authority, it is who'll
gratuitous and untrue.

EDGECOMRE,


We are glad to see old Edgecombe moving.
From the last Tarboro' Press we see that
there will be meeting held on Monday the
Gath inst, fot the purpose Of nominating dele
gates to represent the county in Raleigh, on
the 9th January.
In connection with the meeting, we find the
following paragraph in the Press:
1--WE are decidedly Of the opinion that a
western man should be selected, the why's and
wherefores it is unnecessary now to give
But if an eastern man be selected, we know
of no one who has greater claims upon his
party than Gen. L. d. WILSON, Of this coun-
ty. He is a gentleman Of enlarged expert.
ence, consequent upon long course Of public
service, and possesses a qualification, rare
among the public men of the day-business
habits Of the first order. Edgecombe, at least,
appreciates him"
We are glad to see that the Press takes
what we conceive TO be the proper view of the
selection of our candidate for Governor, as re.
CARDS the part Of the State from which he
should be chosen. From the west, undoubt.
eddy, we think he should come. Gen. Will.
son we highly esteem, and should he be cho
sen al our standard bearer, we shall do fph
for him. with as hearty good will as for an,
man in the State.

THE TWO CLAYS-AN IMPORTANT
DISCLOSURE.

The celebrated visit of Cassius NJ. Claw TO
the Northern States during the last Presiden.
tial canvass will be remembered by all. The
democrats believed, and so charged, lha. Cas-.
sius was on mission for the benefit of his
distinguished kinsman, and that the enterprise
was undertaken with his knowledge and con.
sent. How the wings denounced this charge
is fresh in the recollection Of all. The truIh
on this subject (if Cassins Nj. Clay is good
authority has come to light. He has com
menced his ''True American" in Cincinnati.
and takes occasion to explain his Northern
tour. He says:
al went by the advice of one of the central
committee for the wings Of Keutucky-by
special invitation from about fifty wing clubs
OF the North-by the request before and after
my departure Of four hundred and sixteen
committee men, representing clubs, counties
and conventions-by she irresistible persua-
sion of fifty patriotic wing women of Ohio
and last of all by the tacit approval of the
leader of the wing party, Henry Clay. The
day before left Lexington, called upon Mr..
Clay and told him the purpose of nv mission:
that 1t was thought by our friends that / could
have an influence, from my peculiar position,
with the anti-s'averys anti-Texas voters of the
Tree States, which no other man could. and.
that was willing TO golf could aid the whig
cause. Mr.. Clay said nothing. but nodded his
head with an approving smile: and after some
unlmportant conversation he offered me letters
OF introduction, which declined as unneces.

Whether wa shall have new Market-house
in the town of Wilmington- 1t onghs
60 be located-should new one be built
what kind Of market-house il should be-
are questions which are now agitatin0 the
minds Of our citizens. That the old market
house IL entirely unsuited for The purposes for
which it was originally erected, in the now
Increased and increasing population and bu-
sinsso Of our town, is, we believe, the almost
unanimous sentiment Of our citizens. That
We very badly want larger and more COM
modious building, as well for the accommoda-
ton of those who have articles to sell, az for
those who wish to purchase, is, we think, per-
fectly clear. Butthe question 10, where should
she new building be located With view,
we suppose, 10 ascertain what the wishes and
the feelings Of the citizens on this subject are.
the Commissioners called meeting by pub
lie advertisement. This meeting was held in
the Masonic Hall on Saturday last. We were
not present, but learn that the action taken by
this meeting was to the effect that the Com
missioners purchase piece Of ground lying
in the centre of the recently burned square,
This newly proposed site for the market would
have about Is feet on Front street, and the
same on the wharf, and would, OF course, run
through the whole square.
In conversing with number Of our citl.
Gems, We find that there il good deal Of dis
satisfaction at the action of the meeting, and
good deal Of opposition to the contemplated
location. Those who are opposed to the site
proposed by the meeting Of Saturday night,
say, in the first place, that the notice for the
call Of tho meeting was entirely too short, and
in the second place, that the time, Saturday
night, was an unfavorable one for eliciting the
sentiments of the citizens. They object too,
that the position is by no means central, and
that other places could be selected, which
would better meet the wishes Of those inter-
ested. Another objection which We have heard
urged is, that the town would be compelled to
incur too heavy debt, were the contemplated
project carried out-that to purchase the pro.
posed site would require much larger sum
of money than an equally good one could be
procured for at other and more convenient
points. We think, in matter Of this kind,
deeply important as it is to all the citizens Of
Wilmington, their wishes should be clearly
asceltained, and We trust the Commissioners
will not take any steps in the matter before
they are satisfied that they are acting in sccor-
dance with those wishes. Where the market
house ought to be located, zoe do not pretend
to say but we go in for new and commo-
dlous one somewhere. We may have more
TO say on the subject again.

0: an average excess of import of specie
per year. of nine and a half millions Of dollars,
and with the low average rates Of duty given,
instead OF there being an excess Of exports OF

the other assumption, Nat we have not more
than seventy-6ve or eighty millions of specie
in she United States, we will just say that,
since the year 1928, up to June 1914, we i'm
ported an excess of specie of seventy, faur.naiI-
lions of dollars. Under the tariff Of fS42,
specie during the last year, and at;the present
time, is being steadily exported. II any one
can believe that in the year 1928 we were to-
tally acifhout specie, or thataaE mines since
that period have not produced any, we must
confess we are not efthat number. SO much
for that assumption.
Other assumptions, and which cannot be ow-
ing to Ignorance in the writer, but can alone
be attributable TO perverseness. are contained

Senai-tVeckly StRndGrd.-As we desire very
much TO issue the Standard twice a week, as
we'll as once a week, and as it would not be
right 10 vary the contract, without the consent
Of the subscribers, by sending them the paper
twice week atan advanced price, and as we
do not wish. moreover, to discriminate between
them by sending some the Weekly and some
the Semi-WeekIy. We most respectfully and
earnestly request all who are willing to take
the Semi Weekly at SIS per annum, to inform
us Of the fact by letter or otherwise, between
this and the 9Th of January. 1916. We hope
our friends will make the experiment, and let
Us see whether sufficient encouragement will
be extended to justify a semi-weekly issue.
Please remember that postage must be
paid on all letters not containing money g
1t will be seen from the above, that the en-.
teEprising Editor Of the Raleigh STANDARD i:
about to publish his paper semi-weekly. We
hope that he may receive sufficient encourage
ment to induce him to do so. The Standard
is an able and fearless exponent of Democratic
principles, and we think every Democrat il
the State Ought to feel called upon to lend 1
helping hand to the new project. The Whil
party support semi-weekly paper at the sea
of Government, and we think the Democracy
Of North Carolina should take pride in no
being behind hand in patronizing the press.
