| more, whose name is not here pu
! down, which would swell it TO IT,
| MADISON has resigned, we under
stand, but we do not know who ha:
been appointed to his place. MIR
Saville can probably tell. He held the
| position of Inspector and was a
Raleigh nearly all of last Winter, IL
attendance on the Legislature, OF
which he was member. His assist
ance in the Custom House, during
that time, must have been worth al
least 81 day. And so, too, with E.
NJ Rosslfy, who lives III Brunswick
county at the low rate of 81 day.
James A. Lowrey is a coach-maker
and we think pays more attention to
that line of employment than he does
to his inspection duties at the Custom
House, unless, possibly, the ST day
part may be excepted. And SO, too,
with Alex Strauss, of the Cape Fear
Building Company, who, We think,
his enterprising Company as he
without bothering with duties
ing that "a day E. M. Shoemaker,
tees IlOb ~ cAEttu ,OUU Il year,
probably has very arduous duties to
perform, as he can very often be fonnd
anywhere than at the Custom House,
ana L. J. Pennypacker, for 81 day,
cOndescends to accept desk some
where III the beneficial building,
where he probably conducts his little
business affairs III connection with the
Opera House, of which he is Lessee.
IF Mr. Saville's mission is really one
of Reform we think he will find it adj
vantageous to follow out these little
points that we have given him. Ger
tainly, it is ridiculous to suppose that
it requires n force of sixteen men at
an expense of $40, 600 a year to keep
i'll running order the Custom House at
this place.

Fire at Burgayx.
We regret to learn from Mr.. S. J.
Boney, of Burgaw, who was i'll the city
biIdL Iit lOSU by
L fire on his premises, about 3 miles
rom the above place, on last Monday
noon. It seems that Mr.. Boney had
been ut work IN his blacksmith shop !
'arly that morning and had fire there
mt did not return to the shop until /
about five hours afterwards, when he
discovered the shop in flames at
point opposite to that at which he had /
lind!ed the fire SO many hours previ- |
,usly. lie therefore thinks that it |
vas incendiary and suspicious color
d hand employed on his premises, but /
las. rs vet, no proof to Justify his ar
est
Mr.. Boney who is a steady, har,.-
TOrlling gentlemen, loses quite heavily |
" the disaster. His blacksmith shop .
