INQUEST

Thursday Coroner r. j. Jones held an inquest over
the dead body of negro named Sam, the property of
G. B. Miller, Esq. The body found in Smiths
Greek, the point where the Wilmington and Wei
don Rail Road crosses it. From the testimony it would
appear that Sam came to his death about two weeks
since, under the following circumstances Sam and
some other boys belonging to Mr.. Miller had been run
away for long while and had been outlawed Messrs
Jones and Ballenton Of the town Guard received in
formation which led them to believe that of the
runaways might be within the neghborhood of Smiths
Creek and they therefore waited for them about the
morning Of the lst inst. Shortly Sam and another ap
preached as if from the direction of town. When
rested they appeared willing to submit quietly but sub
sequeny attempted resistance their captors
had laid down their guns for the purpose of tying the
negroes A tussle ensued in the course OF which Sam
broke and ran for the creek into which he sprang and
was drowned. Verdict accidental drowning"

BS@ We think there be little doubt of the even

speakershp of the House Three of the anti Locomp-
tontes have already voted for him. These three are
Hickman and Schwartz, of Pa, and Haskins, of New
York. These men are already Republicans.
little maneuvring, like that practced on Thursday,
will elect him, if he gets votes than the ITO
already cast for him. A few pairings off, or ne
glects refusals to vote, will leave ITO majority of
all the votes cast.
We don't know but it would be about we'll to elect
him at once to long in doing it, as was
consumed in the selection of n. p Banks We don't
think that in the event of Shermans election merely the
Southern Senators and Representatives ought to desert
their posts Those the ground have better chance
to Judge, but these are our notions.

In the House OF Representatives On Wednesday last
pending the discussion of the sectional issues which
agitated in connection with the election of a
Speaker Daniel Sckes, Of New YOrk, made one of the
best and sOundest speeches that has fallen from the lips
of any northern man. Or mi bt say of any man dur
ing the present agitation He defended the South ably
and well from the attacks OF Hickman of Pennsylvania,
and Others, and was much applauded.
We are glad to see that Mr. sicklcs has erred as
man, he at least has not fallen from his principles as
politician When we see frmneSs of any kiLd true and
unnching adherence to principle any point it gives
of the existence Of what Massachu-
sets called backbone character, and enables to
put better construction upon doubtful points of con-
duct than we otherwise could have felt satisfied in
doing.
1t is hardly probable that an organization will be
effected before January Is it deemed desirable that
it should be- Our friends North think that the longer
it is deferred the BETTER because it will enable the sober
second thought of the Northern people to give itself ex-
preston. For almost the first time in the history of
the country opponents realize that there is danger
of dissolution, and the meetings held by influential
northern constituencies cannot fail to conserva-
tive influence upon their representatives. We look for
a marked change OF tone in Congress from that which
had been anticipated at the opening of the session. The
Republican members will L" come down peg voun-
tariy as indeed they show already evident DISPOSE
ton to do The cndorsers of Helpers book are among
its regulators.
The President will not probably send in his message
to the Senate before the first of January being disposed
to wait at least that long for the organization of the
House. especially no actual business be done be-
fore that is effected.
The Democrats and South Americans united, fall
short of majority of the House. So do the Republ-
cans The balance of power lies with the anti-Lecomp-
ton Democrats of whom say that under no crcum
stances will they vote for republican, while others as
sert as strongly the mpossibty of their being induced
90 for an administration Democrat.

A TRIP UPoN THE CAPE FEAR.-By the kind inv
tation of Messrs. Orrell & Daley, took trip upon
their beautiful new boat, just launched, named Kate
McLaurin, after Miss Kate, daughter of VIM. McLau
rim, Esq, of this town.
-Four months ago to-day, the first blow struck in
the building of this boat, and to-day, she is aoat.-
This speaks we'll for the enterprise Of Messrs Orre
Daily. She was built under the direction and super
attendance of Mr.. Orrel, and is credit to him. We
want few more such men as be is amongst to give
an impetus to the business of our town.
The Kate is l26 feet long, and 221a wide, 3 feet
depth OF hole. She is real sharp shooter" and will
doubtless be the fastest boat the verso we should
judge from her running yesterday. Her Engine was
built byII P. Morris Co., of Philadelphia and works
most admirably. Mr.. Orrel has secured the services
admirable officer in the person of Capt VIM. Evans
Our readers know that he is always gentlemany and

She has two splendid cabins and excellent dining
saloon, and upon the whole she is splendid craft Mr.
Orre expects she will leave for Wilmington in day OF

wished me to prepare for their New American Cyclic

Gov Ellis was among the number, and first to be

received too late, and I am glad of it. Those of Gov
Swain, Judge Saunders, Mr.. Macon, Col Joyner, and
Others in state of preparation when information
reached that the book would contain biographies of
Fred. Douglas Otis, Lucretia Mott, Phillips, Stowel
and all the other prominent black and Ohe mail and
