BTSKEO McILVAINE---ITI
ANT FUNERALS.

The New York World takes advan-
tage of the oft repeated funeral servi-
ces over the mortal remains of Bishop
McIlvaine, en- route from Rome to Ohio,
to sermonize upon itinerant funerals.
If there be anything improper in
itinerant funerals, no better text for
the sermon could have been chosen
than that offered by the frequent ser
vices held over the American Bishop,
for it seems that at almost every con-
:yenient stopping place there were peo-
pie ready to bury him or, at least, to
hold funeral services over him. How
many times funeral services have been
held over him we do not know; it may,
however, be safely asserted now that
his remains have been consigned to
the dust at last, that he is about the
best buried Bishop in America.
Bishop McIlvaine was not dis
tinguished as a Prelate alone
1t will be remembered that du-
ring the late war he went to Eng
land upon a political mission, the
object of which was to counteract any
impression in that country favorable
to the South. How he managed to
discharge his duties as the Bishop OF
the Episcopal Diocese of Ohio, while
Identifying a political mission to the
English people by his high priestly
Office, it is now too late to inquire
He is dead now, and buried at last.

to build the next ten miles, and so on
until the work is completed. The
friends of the measure urge that there
is no risk to the Government in this
no increase of the national debt, and
not one cent added by it to the Fed
eral taxation that it will relieve the
South from a burden that it has been
compelled to carry since the close OF
the late war-a burden which has
paralyzed enterprise and prosperity
and produced degree of stagnation
which years of patient toll will not re-
move that it is, in fact, only an asst
rance to the capital of the world that
peace has been once more restored to
our land. and that the door is again
open in the South for safe and profit
able investment.
The project is grand one and
promises such immense benefits, not
only to the States through which the
great water way will pass, but to the
West and Northwest as well, as to far
outbalance the cost of its construction,
great though it will undoubtedly be.
We sincerely trust that the approach
ing Convention will initiate proceed
ings that will bring the great work OF
connecting the waters of the NJ ssls-
sippi and the Atlantic by inland com
munication to q speedy and successful
| termination.

THE CHEAP TRANSPORTATION


From all quarters of the North and
West, says the Savannah Ncacs,
we hear of movements having
for their object change in the present
high, almost prohibitory rates of
freight upon Western produce seeking
the Atlantic markets. A variety of
projects are entertained some are in
favor of increased direct railroad facil-
tiles between the North, South and
West others advocate the construc
ton of grand canal from the Missis-
sippi river to the South Atlantic ports !;
some are for turning the commerce of
the Western rivers mp stream to the
lakes, and thence to New York others
favor an outlet to the Atlantic at
Norfolk, while Baltimore and Phila-
delphia are both preferring their
claims as eligible outports for the pro-
duce of the West. While these various
projects divide public opinion accord
ing to the local interests which they
affect, all minds agree on the one alb
stract proposition, that an absolute
necessity exists for cheaper transport
tation for the products of the great
Western food-producing region. This
conviction has taken complete posses
sion of the minds of the people of the
West, with whom the best and most
effective means of accomplishing the
desired object has become the all
absorbing question Of the day.

An Interesting Exploration.

The military expedition, which viii
go into the country Of the Sioux Irdi-
ans to establish two military posts
til re, in accordance with the act of
Congress OF last session, is intended
to be of q character to impress the
Sioux with notion of the power of
the Government. It will consist of
1000 men and officers, and will he ac-
companied by large number of civil
lians, who will be attached for the
needs of forwarding supplies, making
surveys and explorations, and for other
similar duties. There will be several
scientific men with the expedition,
who expect the most valuable scientific
results from an examination of the
great interior basin, which the party
will penetrate, and which is till now as
much tfrro incQgaira to the white
race as the interior of Africa The
hitherto almost undistnrbed abode of
the most savage and powerful of the
Indian tribes will be entered, and pre-
parations made to take advantage of
the extension of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, to bring them permanently
within the control of the Governments
The details of the arrangements are
not yet far advanced, but the expedi-
ton will probably be begun about the
middle of June.

WI El.EIs,S HISTORY OF
NORTH CAROLINA-A NEW EDa-

We are glad to learn that Colonel
Wheeler, who has been for years back
collecting materials for a new and
enlarged edition of his History OF
North Carolina, has SO nearly brought
his labors to close. Perhaps no one
appreciates the value of Colonel
Wheeler's History more fully than
Editors, who have almost daily need
to get accurate information in relation
to the State We sincerely trust that
it will not be long ere we have the
benefit of Colonel Wheeler's labors for
the last quarter of century almost, IN
the shape of a new and enlarged
edition.
It will be remembered that during
the war Colonel Wheeler ran the
Blockade and went to England, where
he remained until the surrender,
engaged in examining the records of
the old Colonial Office in London. His
opportunities for acquiring very
valuable information were good, and
we doubt not that he made good use
of them

tsBRIAREUS. E"

The Star is coming around rapidly
on the "change of gauge question. In
its last issue it admits that the pro-
posed change of gauge from Green's
boro to Charlotte will benefit Will
mington, provided a proper freight
tariff is adopted. There is no longer
any difference of opinion between the
Star and the Journal as to the mere
change Of gauge. Both papers agree
that it presents a possibility of good
to Wilmington-a possibility, however,
that the Star thinks falls far short of
being a probability. Acting upon
this opinion the Star has lent
it's influence to the opponents of
the proposed change in spite of the
admitted possibility that it could be
made to work to the advantage of our
city by proper tariff of profits. Upon
the policy of such a proceeding we
have no remark to make, save that 1t
seems to us it would be better for any
one who has the interest of our city at
heart, and who understands those in
terests, to take advantage of every OPP
portunitv to sbeneft Wilmington.
At any rate it would seem to be the
| dictate of ordinary prudence that
| public journal should be very sure
| that it was right before going ahead.
Admitting that, with a proper tariff,
the change OF gauge would benefit VIII
mington, Wilmington paper ought to
| be quite sure that a proper tariff will
not be adopted before it opposes the
change of gauge What tariff the
management Of the Wilmington and
Weldon Road would adopt, we cannot,
| of course, declare with certainty.
| Whether the JOURNAL is right or the
star. time alone can decide with abso-
lutte ce. tainty.
For the present, at least, we are
ready to rest that question upon the
fact that our Chamber Of Commerce,
while it has deemed it necessary TO
complain Of some matters of Railroad
management, has, to use il own Ian
guage, "madc 10 question nor com
plant OF tariffs We take it that the
Chamber of Commerce is both watchful
and fearless III guarding the interests
of our city.
The star insists that the Telegram
to the Associated Press of the 18Th
February correct, although '.unar-
thorized," in an official sense, by the
Chamber of Commerce.
The only reply we shall make to this,
is to be found in the following resoltl-
ton of The Chamber of Commerce,
adopted on the 18th March, 1873, as
appears from the columns of the star.
| Rcsolred, That the telegram to the
Associated Press of 18th February was
unauthorized by this Chamber and was
liable to misconstrrction. inasmuch as
we have made DO question nor com
plant of tariffs but simply of discrimi
nation in transportation in moving the
through freight to the neglect OF the
local.
We heartily concur in the high est
mate the star places upon the worth
character and intelligence of the gen
tlemen composing the Committee o.
the Chamber of Commerce. There is
no better friend to these gentle
men than the JOURNAL.
The star refers to the ''Princess
Street hand of the Briarean Monster.
We are not quite sure that We under
stand what is meant by this express
sion. Our contemporary viii oblige Us
by explaining.

DIR INDIAN TROUBLES.

The kilograms announce that our
troops at the Lava Beds have again
been surprised, and that four soldiers
have been killed and six wounded by
the Modocs.
Tt is further announced that Captain
Jack wore the uniform of the late
General Candy, whom he slewsVith his
own hand. This piece Of bravado,
taken in connection with the fact also
reported by telegram that our people
were sending out squaws as scouts,
would seem to indicate that the In
dams, and not the whites, were on the
aggressive.
To say the least of it, it is singular
state of affairs when Federal scouts
wear petticoats and their enemies wear
Federal uniforms in open battle.

Death Of General Frank s-;r

gence OF the death, near that place, of
Major General Franklin Gardner. G..
S. A., on the 18th Of april last
General Gardner is we'll remembered
in Mobile, as ,-ne of the last comman-
ders of that post previous to its falling
into the hands of the overwhelming
Federal forces under the late Gen.
Candy; but he is more especially re-
membered by the Southern people as
the gallant defender of Port Hudson,
in 1868, and still later, having fallen
into the hands of the enemy, as one of
the Con ederate officers whom the
Union Generals were base enough to
expose to the fire of the Confederate
batteries at Charleston, in hopes of
averting their deadly effeet-a calcu-
lation i'll which they were mistaken, as
Gen. Frank Gardner and his fellow
martyrs found means to send word to
Beauregard not to spare the very par
ticular spot where they were confined.

The above table shows the whole number
of youth of school age in the State. Also
the apportionment of the State distributable
school fund among the several counties in pro.
portion to the number of youths between 6
and II years in each county respectively.
The careful observer will note remarkable
discrepancy between the amount distributed
to several counties having about the same Pop.
ulation. Much of this Discrepancy must grow
out OF the fact, that the enumeration is very
imperfectly made in some counties, while
other counties of equal population mako full
cnumerations Of all Of school age. 1t is to
be hoped that no county or district, has made
fraudulent enumeration in order to swell its
dstributable share of. the school fund. Yet
in several instances, it is hard to account for
the great difference in the number of youth
in counties of about equal population in any
other way. The law requires the distribution
obe made among the several counties, accord>
ing to the enumerations by the proper officers,
and reported to this Office. Although I am
satisfied that this distribution is not in exact
proportion to the number of youths actually
residing in the several counties, yet am not
authorized by the law to make any change in
it. I oay desire to call attention to the mat
ter, SO that in the future more care NAV be
taken to procure correct enumeration in
every county. B. W. BYRNE,
