but one in which the whole community have
vested interest. This is the last, and with one
recently created exception, the only line
of Ameriean-built steamships that bears the
Stars and Stripes on the high seas. The new
ships now building for IL employ 1000 men,
not to speak Of those whose Industry is in
directly set in motion. If other similar lines
are to be added, thousands more OF the now
idle Workmen Of this country will mud imme-
their way, even those 1000 must return to idle
ness. How reckless these destroying agencies
are of the needs and interests Of American indus
try may be gathered from the fact that among
the threats Of which they make use is the prOpo-
sitGn TO introduce foreign rival, and to call to
their aid the capital and the labor Of Europe in
their raid upon company whose only crime
seems to have been that II has dared to seek pros
peTity by the employment Of American skill and
the development of American commerce.
1t is fact we'll understood by those who are
whatever capital they might have expended IN
the further repair of their old wooden vessels
would have been so much worse than sunk !"
that y due time they would have found themselves
without either ships or capital by Continuing
such l process. The sure prophecy Of future
pres FeTity which the company now has, however,
rests on the fact that its capital has not been 50
wa sted, but has been wisely and economically
iDyested in new ana effective ships, OF vast
capacity, cheap to run, adapted to the company's
p needs; that part Of these ships are already In
service and earning dividends and that the re-
mainder soon will be. The prospective fleet OF
the Pacific Mail Company is not surpassed in the
world, and II will be abundantly able to bring
full cargo Of prosperity to the honest owners Of
the cOmpany's shares. JoHS RoACH.

A Murderer's Deathbed Confession.

In 1858 q man named Patrick Boyle set
tied near Pennington, New Jersey, and
earned livelihood by doing Jobs for the
residents of that town and the farmers OF
the neighborhood. He suddenly disap-
peared and was afterward heard of in North
Carolina. From information just received
from a resident of Rose Hill, in that State,
it appears that Boyle settled near that ham
let after leaving New Jersey, and on the
twentieth Of last month died, after having
confessed to having committed two mur-
ders. In his confession, Boyle said that
the first murder committed was IN lo39. In
the fall of that year negro buyer named
Newcomb visited Rose Hill for the purpose
of buying negroes for the Richmond and
New Orleans markets. He had upon bis
person at the time upward of $1,000 IN gold
and drafts. Boyle communicated his knowl-
edge of that fact to fellow workman
named Welch, and they resolved to kill
Newcomb and secure his money. So one
night they waited for him near lonely
road, and as he passed they killed him by a
crushing blow on the head with bludgeon.
The men then stripped the body OF clothing
and valuables, and buried it in the woods Gov
ering it with pine leaves. They then went
back to their employers plantation and re-
tired, Boyle then related that two months
after this murder he and Welch went to
Wilmington for the purpose OF securing
passage to New York, but that while In
that city they became drunk and squander-
ed all their ill-gotten money. They then
removed to Sampson county, North Caro-
lima, and at the beginning Of the war en-
listed in the Thirtieth North Carolina Regi-
ment of Infantry. Welch was killed in one
of the battles near Richmond, and Boyle
related that shortly after the capture OF
Lee he started afoot for North Carolina.
On his way to that State he stopped over
night at the house of an old man named
Simms. near Salisbury. Being out OF
money he resolved to kill Simms and ran
sack the house. He did kill him by running
him through the body with bayonet that
he found on the premises. To conceal his
crime he set fire to the house, and it was
burned with the body of its owner. The
cause of Boyles death was fever, superin'
duced by the excessive use of Intoxicating
i his &eatth t =pseRle living near
Rose Hill searched the wood mentioned by
Boyle in his confession, and found the skel
eton of the murdered negro buyer, with
bride bits and the handouts.

The Railroad Conference Mt Saratoga.
The Tribune thinks that while the os-
tensible purpose of the recent railroad con-
ference at Saratoga was to make cOmbina-
tions to facilitate transportation and estab-
lish uniform freight and passenger rates,
the roads really combined to resist what
they look upon as the forthcoming encrOach-
ments of the Western Changers.
The TiltOn Case In Court.
Judge Riley said, in the matter of "The
People VS.. Theodore TiltOn," that he should

libeled does not unite in the prosecution.
Interest Paid.
The treasury paid nearly $5OO,OOo in

the old world what magnificent thing it
is-weW do that, for we want the trade and
the freight and the passengers. Before
many years your population will be ,OOO,00O
and your stores crowded with goods. When
l look on this favored spot l think that
there are only three great cities in the
United States-New York, San Francisco
and New Orleans. They have to work to
grow; you only sit still. Suppose you were
to work as ST. Louis and Chicago do. Your
opportunity, Tom Scott's road, will soon be
completed through Arizona, and you know
| that is the greatest mining region on earth.
Don't you want some of the swarms OF
| miners that will flock to it to come through
| your State, and perhaps stay in it! The rea-
| son why Chicago has been built up is because
they have public spirit. man may be
in hurry and not willing to stop on your
business or his, but tell him it is for the
| good of Chicago and he stands still and
| listens They are unwilling nybody should
get ahead of them or have anything they
have not got. Get this road and you have
a fair chance at the trade of the East In
dies. Chicago now claims she must have
all the tea trade of China-that New York
has no business with it and New Orleans Is
only little place down on the gulf. But
build this road, sending the engine with Its
laundering tread among this people who DC
not dream of the Improvements that are
going Oh, and you may oven compete with
her.
thank you, Mr.. President, and this hon
orable body for the attention you have glver
me, having trespassed on your time longer
than ought, but hope there may result
some good to ourselves and to you.
On motion of Mr.. Joseph a vote of thanks
was rendered Mr.. Kellogg for his instruc-
tive and encouraging remarks.
On motion of Mr.. Sandidge the commit
tee on railroads was instructed to confe
with Mr.. Kellogg on the subject.
Mr.. Oglesby stated the subject was on

The Vicksburg Election.

To-day will occur the general city elec
ton at Vicksburg. Who are to be mayor,
aldermen, assessor and cotton weigher of
that city is matter of but little Importance
to the world at large, but it is important in
the interests of peace and good government
that the Republican party, against the rule
or-ruin White League mob, should have a
fair showing at the polls. With strange in
consistency the White Leaguers of Missis-
sippi have raised hue and cry that in
Vicksburg armed bands of colored men
existed with murderous intent, yet when
the Lieutenant Cover asked the pres
ence of United States troops for the sole
purpose of preventing the outrages feared,
the Leaguers stoutly protested against pro-
lection, and declared Vicks5urg as quiet as
a graveyard. 1t must be said for the White
Leaguers that they have conducted their
canvass with great energy. From letter
written on board of q steamer, and pub
lished in the Vieksburg Times we make the
following extracts:
was surprised. while lying at your city
wharf TODAY, to see certain we'll known
citizens come on board and persuade white
men who never claimed to be citizens of
Vicksburg to stop off and register and vote
at your city election, which Is to come off
| in a very few days. / was standing by
| when three or four white men came on
| board, book in hand, and went to these
| men and told them that they would pay
| their board and see that they were taken
| care of, and make them a present of suit
| of clothes, if they would agree to do as they
requested of them. They tried to get me,
| also, promising me quite a comfortable
| time. Some of these men that
| stopped off to register shipped from St
| Louis, and others from different points on
| the river and they were all going to New
| Orleans If they had not been stopped.
The war cry of the Leaguers in Missis
| sippi is the ancient one of "retrenchment
reform, honesty" ana the employment o1
steamboat voters indicates the way IN
which they mean to carry out their reform
policy. The Dem ocrats intend to become
an honest party, if they have to lie, forge
| and murder to be honest, 1t is possible,
however, the elec ton may pass quietly oft
and that the Leagu ers will thereafter sub
side into their uneventful corner grocery
complacency until other prospects for office
| turn up.

The Biloxi Regatta.

On Sa turday afternoon last the harbor
at Bill oxi. Mississippi, was the scene of
neat and enjoyable sailing regatta, one as
exciting as has taken place on the gull
coast for years. With a pleasant day, a
fair wind and large assemblage of people
the race could hardly be otherwise. The
prizes offered were 500 for first. $50 fol
second and $50 for third class boats
Twelve boats entered for the race, as fol
lows:

These boats came up to the judges sta
ton in order at one o'clock, and at half-past
one got away with all sail spread, sta rtine
on the run over the tifteen-mile course. Al
the start the Amelia was the favorite. as ii
was thought the strong breeze would give
her the advantage. The termination of the
race proved otherwise. The Katie fouled
at the first stakeboat, and was withdrawn
from the contest.
Our reporter failed to get the time made
by the winners. The NatcheZ won the first
class prize, the Pearlie the second, and the
little U Bet got away with the third. Tht
Pearlie is a new boat, and was set on tht
water and christened only last Friday. She
proved good sailer, and in the race actu
ally beat some of the first class boats, al
though of course not entitled to take th'
first prize. During the entire race the boat
were eagerly watched as they flew befor'
the breeze, and all spectators agreed th'
race fair one and good one.
