to which they have been subjected in this
great and free country. Where then is
the political wisdom in excluding them. 49,
Rather ask why not exhibit wisdom in IN
ducing them to come. Perhaps the answer
may come from refined rcligionist. We
profess to be Christians. We profess 10
believe that the world will be converted to
the same faith Missionaries go from our
Christian land to Heather China to cou-
vert the benighted worshiper to the
true faith. We may be met by the advo-
Gates of Northern isms, Free-thinkers,
Free lovers and the like, who discarding
morality trust to reason and law. In
either case, of Religion, Politics, or moral
ity and from every point Of view we ought
not to expect opposition to this i'm
Statesmen there are none, from Northern
philanthopist, or from Northerl socialists.
1t can come from such sources with no
shadow of consistency. but that it has
come and will continue to come may be
found in the existence Of that undated
malignity which persecutes us now that
we are powerless with the same pertinacity
with which its possessors sought TO des
troy our property. A malignity conceived
in envy, bred in injustice, fostered in greed,
and vented in mean spirited hatred.

Official Corruption

People no longer look for honesty OF
probity among tho administrative officers
If This country, and if modern DiogeneS
was to start out some fair day and take his
lantern through every department OF affairs
at Washington city he would be as Dauis
disappointed, we opine, as on certain
memorable occasion of old. There are few
man who have sat in any administrative
chair. since the close of the war, whose
skirts arc clean and pure, the latest
aaainst whom charges of corruption have
been brought being the doughty Boutwell,
himself, the would-be future President oil
the United States. What these charges
will amount to remains yet to be seen.

living north of the line of the Wilmington
and Weldon Railroad and between tne
river and Fourth street. Ihelr sltuatlon'
Inv the intervention of the railroad, Is ono
! of great isolation from all of the business
centres of the city, inasmuch as vehicles
oonnot reach their residences without
making a considerable detour by way OF
Water or Fourth streets, thus sometimes
ooipp as much as three. eighths OF a mile
ont of the line before they can arrive at
their destination.
Tn former times, that is for the few
years Immediately preceding the war,
there was a bridge over the road on
Second street, which proved of great con
venience to the ne:ghborhood, but that
bridge having fallen through and been re-
moved, the old time inconvenience is re
newed
We earnestly commend this matter to
the attention of the city authorities and
those of the Wilmington and Weldon Rail
road, in the hope that the wants OF
portion of our citizens may be seen and
appreciated, and that the proper measures
will be Of once taken for their relief. We
have been informed that the road author
ties are ready to meet those of the city at
any time that the latter may appoint and
adopt measures in conjunction with
them looking to the building of two sub
stantial bridges-one over Second, and
the other over Third street.
These bridges, besides proving a great
convenience to large portion of our in
habitants, would also soon reimburse the
city for all expenses undergone, in that
they would serve to enhance, greatly, the
value of taxable property.

conduct, which is very pungent and very
true. He says "Your organ, the New

The Hungarian journals relate the fol-
lowing extraordinary case OF suicide: Last
week John Stebaleski, shopkeeper in the
Rue Sebastian, at Pesth, came down from
his bedroom at o'clock in the morning,
leaving his wife in bed. lie then shaved
himself, put On his best clothes, stretched
himself ON the counter, and having load

heart Death was instantaneous. The
horror and astonishment of his wife and
the neighbors were Understandable /; and
the more 80 that no one knew of any mo-
tive for the commission of the desperate
act. Whilst all were lost in conjecture, an
old friend of the deceased came rushing
up, out of breath. lie had just received
by post letter from Stebaleski, dated the
previous evening, and thus worded: my

Cuban affairs still remain in very IN,
settled condition. Each days kilograms
generally contain something relative to the
progress of the revolution there, but there
is actually nothing upon which one can
predicate an opinion relative to the even
tual result.
There have been many rumors, OF late,
relative to the existence Of negotiations
between Spain and the United States IN
regard to the sale of the Island, but the lead
ing Madrid papers all deny them. The gov
eminent, they say, will not entertain any
proposition of the kind until the revolu'
tionists there have been subdued.
