women are in earnest. Miss Anthony
says the Philadelphia plank was mere
ly splinter. but it is the end of the
wedge she means to drive home. The
Republicans will find that Miss Antho-
ny is not woman to be triaed with,
and that "respectful consideration
with her means nothing short of the
ballot for women. They have given
her an inch, and it shall go hard with
them if they do not grant her an ell.
If there is anything which officials
in this country ought to be thankful
for, it is that they haven't the Bey of

here. Though the Bey is a despot, as
absolute as profigate. his passion
transcends infinitely that of yirtuOus
man, when he sees pickings and steal
ings among his subordinates. He re-
euires great deal of money to live on,
and is constantly in debt, so when in
November be heard that three of his
tax-collectors had for years committed
defalcations upon his treasury and ac
counted for only two-thirds of what
they received, his rage knew no bounds.
He summoned the terrified officials
and confronted them with their faith
lessness. They confessed and dimplored
his mercy, which he did not see fit to
exercise, and appealed to the kadi for
the penalty i'll such cases. The Kali

The path to matrimonial bliss is
thorny in California, or ut least two
lovers i'll Wathena had an unpleasant
time of it. Henrietta Kirkpatrick
wanted to marry Mr.. Waddell, but the
old Kirk just swore that she should
never rally around the nuptial bower
with any man by that name. When
the lover heard of this he took friend
along and sought an interview with
the old man. He granted one, appear
ing at the door with shotgun, which
he instantly discharged at Waddell.-
Only two of the shot touched him, and
he waited until the gun was again
loaded, dodging this time by sliding
to the opposite side of his horse
Convinced of Kirkpatrick's sincerity
by this, lie rode away, but Henrietiss
collected her worldly goods 1T mid
night. as they might have known size
would have done, and the twain We're

Nayassa S.uanO Company.

We call attention to the advertise
ment of the Navassa Guano Company
in this issue. We are always glad to
note the success of home enterprises,
and it is therefore with some satisfac-
ton we learn that this Company sold,
during the past year, all the glano
they could make, and that, i'll view Of
the constantly growing demand for
their fertilizer, consequent np' / the
almost universal satisfaction it has
given, they have decided to improve
their manufacturing facilities by erect
ing an additional chamber for the pro-
1,lction of s,llphuric acid. As far as
we are able to judge, the gnano fully
deserves its popularity. 1t is made from
one of the richest known phosphates,
which is imported at great expense
from Navassa Island. In the character
of the highly responsible and we'll
known business men composing this
Company, purchasers have a guarantee
that the standard of the fertilizer will
be faithfully maintained. This is the
fourth wear of the Company's exist,
ence, and their prosperity has added
not "a little to the business Of our city.
! They will have fiftee1i or twenty YES:
sells in our port during the Winter
bringing the crude phosphate and
bearing off other valuable freights
and this, with their heavy pay rolls
benefits the community by putting {
large amount of currency in ciEcula
ton. 1t is, therefore, with all sin
cerity we wish them a prosperous new
year. ...

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Collision.


Two freight trains on the Whining
ton, Columbia & Augusta Railroad
collided Yesterday on Fair Bluff curve,
some 81 miles from this city. Neither
of them could have been running very
fast, as the only damage, as far as
we can learn, sustained by the engines,
was the destruction of their plows.-
Sad to relate, however, Captain w. II.
Griffin, of the train going west, had
his. leg fractured i'll this collision, i'll
two places below the knee His iniu-
ries, though painful and serious, are
vet not considered necessarily dan
gerous. Captain Griffin is at Fair
Bluff, under good treatment, aud We
trust will soon recover.
The cause OF this collision will be
investigated by the proper officers, and
the blame visited where it rightly be-
longs.

From the Norfolk Vir.inian
Governor CaIdNScIl,s RESPONSE.
bilifY.

Governor Caldwell has entered on his
duties with pledge to the people Of
North Carolina to exercise the high
functions of his Office with all eve single
to their good, and without regard t"
party distinctions, passions, or ami
mOsitles. We trust that he will meet
his voluntarily assumed obligations.
and i'll the hope that he may, We beg
him to take notice of the statement
that Il deputy United States Marshal in
Western North Carolina stands charged
with brutal violence i'll the case of
Yoder, who, it is alleged, owes his
premature death to ill-lisage received
ut the hands of that official
His EXcellency has seen the state
ments OF the Eagle" and "News."
and if he has Il paternal feeling for his
people he will take steps to prevent
future Outrages of a SIMILAR sort, and
to have the offender i'll this case
brought to justice.
1t is time for the dragonades to be
brought to an end; the election is over:
the Albany penitentiary is full to reple-
ton; the ku-Klux exist only in fiction,
or history, and the people of North
Carolina are entitled to protection and
repose.
Not only humanity, but sound policy,
suggest this; and the Governor will
understand us when we remind him
that great numbers are leaving North
Carolina.
During the month of December, as
we learn from the News, one hundred

pany Shops to emigrants, ea s'csffe for

melancholy search for new homes

their own vine and fig tree with no
one, not even United States Marshal,

Caldwell wishes to keep the gallant
SONS of the old North State at home
he Iaust see to it that there are no
more Yoders done to death by the
brutality of Federal officers.

The Way IL Work y.

We are well aware of the fact that
some of our merchants occasionally
send North for printing, when the
same work can be done here equally as
well and equally as cheap, as more
than one have confessed, after irving
the experiment. We don't mean to
say that we could print book or an
almanac or a magazine as cheap as it
can be done III New York City, because
Of the superior facilities there, ont We
do say that, for any ordinary job work,
and such rs is generally called for by
the merchants i'll this city. it can be
furnished .'as cheap from the Journal
STEAM PRESSES. as from those in
Baltimore. Philadelphia or New York.
As an instance in point, we will state
the fact that merchant called on us
Yesterday and asked for an estimate on
Il certain job of work We agreed to
do it for SD 30, and the order was
given to us. Afterwards We were in
formed by the merchant that some
time since ne had had the same Job
put mp III New York. and that it had
cost $40, delivered in that city. Our
estimate was made mp without any
| knowledge of this fact. and the iu-
stance itself evidences that We eau
sometimes work from II to ~ per
cent less than they do in the great city.
! The moral Of all which is that those
i jill need of job work should have it
estimated ut the JOURNAL office.

What il IA Nuisance?

Judge Wales, of Delaware, in a charge
delivered to the grand jury of New Castle
county a few days since, laid down some
very plain and practical instructions as to
what constitutes nuisance In the eye OF
the law. A nuisance, by his definition, in
its largest sense, signifies anything that
worketh hurt, inconvenience or danger.
All the acts put forth by men which tend
directly to create evil consequences to the
community at large may be deemed nul-
sances where they are of such magnitude
as to require the interposition of the courts.
Public or common nuisances include dis
orderly houses and houses of ili-fame, OBJ
structions to navigable streams, corrup-
ton of the air or water, indecent exposure
of the person, unhealthy trades, loud and
unnecessary noises, noisome and offensive
smells, etc. In reference to the general
question what constitutes nuisance, tech
nically so-called, a precise definition is of
course impracticable, and the law is best
explained by the particular instances Of
annoyance or injury which have been adj
judged to be or not to be nuisances.
In general it may be said that any inju-
ry to lands or houses, which renders them
useless or even uncomfortable for habta-
ton, is q nuisance. Thus, in regard to of
lensiye odors, it Is said, the neighborhood
has right to pure and fresh air, and a
smell need not be unwholesome if it is Of
tensive and renders the enjoyment Of life
and property uncomfortable, as by giving
many persons headaches. So with refer
cnce to nuisances in violation to decency,
that whatever place becomes the habita
ton of civilized men there the laws of de.
cency must be enforced.
