LAUR1NBURG. n. G.. Sept. II. 1878

DEAR JOURNAL: There is consider
able talk here in regard to the way the
mail is managed by the agents on this
road, and [ have been requested to
bring to Col. Drinks attention, through
the columns of your paper, facts con-
corning the same.
1t seems that Mr.. Hugh McAran, a
gentleman residing in this county, re-
ceived from Fayetteville a check,
which he enclosed on the 18th of this
month in q letter and sent to Messrs.
Lilly 4 Bro, of your city, for collec-
ton. He waited several days for re-
ply, and becoming little anxious,
concluded to telegraph the above
named gentlemen to ascertain from
them if they had received the check.
He received a reply in the negative.
Another instance: Messrs. Bizzell &
Roper, merchants of this place, drew
a draft on New York, payable to the
order of a. X. Walker, Esq, cashier
Wilmington, and directed to E. E.
Burruss, Esq, Wilmington, to be dis
counted. This happened on the 18th
Of this month. These gentlemen also
waited likewise for a reply, and not re-
graphed to Mr.. Walker, and he replied
mo such paper had been received"
THIS matter requires investigation,
and the people demand it. Public
opinion thinks there is something rot
ten in Denmark. Messrs. 3. & r.
have stopped the payment of their
draft.
Yours, &c, COUSTRYMAN.

stock here is principally in exporters
hands, and there is very light stock
available. at the Exchange this

prevailing, accompanied with stronger

Rich Developments Concerning
the Last Enaugurl.iOE. Hail :at
Washington.

The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Globe tells this bit of local
scandal:
As is we'll known, the last inaugural
ball given III this city was a financial
failure 1t was under the charge of
self-composed committee of the Dis
trict ring, including Boss Shepherd,
Governor Cook, and others. A large
building was erected, and furnished
within with costly OrnamentatiOn. A
supper was provided for five thousand
guests, with scarcely half that number
to relish it. The cause of the failure
was the excessive cold weather and the
meagre heating facilities the building
afforded. AS Il consequence the COM
mittee lost about forty thousand dol
lars, where they expected to realize
fully that tigue. After the ball was
over, the creditors became clamorous,
and no one seemed willing to contrib
ute to relieve the embarrassments
financially, the failure occasioned. In
the organization of subcommittee the
ring appointed about one hundred of
our best known citizens merely to
tickle them into using their efforts to
sell their tickets. The subcommittee
were never consulted, and when asked
an opinion protested against the ex-
travagance of thus conducting the
preparations for the ball festivities.
Up to this time the bills have not been
paid. The caterers, musicians, floral
decorators and others, who think they
have waited long enough, threaten
suit. To attempt to meet the urgent
demands made, the ring committee
held meeting last week, and to-day
the one hundred citizens of the sub
committee have received O delicately
| printed circular. marked private, re-
questing each one to forward to John
W. Thompson, the treasurer of the
| inaugural ball fund, a check for $500
to pay off the outstanding indebted
ness This they fatty refused to do,
| and unless the ring managers put the I
hands in their own pockets and cancel
the obligations, rich developments are
promised in our courts, as the cred
itors are determined to sue rather
than await any longer period of time
for that to which they are Justly en-
titled.

been good business done this week,
with some improvement of prices. The
heavy receipts mentioned in our last as
the cause of the decline, have not been
SO large this week, while on the other
hand we have had a large export move
ment. The reduction of stock has
caused steadier feeling, and the mar
ket closes firm at So 60 (Which figures
indicate an advance over last week of
IL cents.) The receipts for the week,
1873 bills, against 1,O32 bbls. for last
week, show a decrease of 800 bbls.
The exports for the week, ], 432 bbls.
against 732 bbls. for last week, show
ali increase of 700 bbls. The stock IL
yard is 919 bbls., against 1,61S bbls.
for last week. The receipts and sales
for the week were as follows
