man, who rescued his name from obi
vion's sullen waters with the anglers
rod, would be delighted were he living
and cognizant of the quiet sports of
those who lure the trout and perch
from the waters near Latham's Mill
and thereto adjacent, with cray-fsh or
erawfsh, as you are pleased to call
them. I'VE have not had an opportui
nifty Of learning the theory and Prac-
tice of Forksd Deer angler', but know
that some very fine messes arc daily
lifted from the waters of our river.
The United States Supreme Court
has decided the Elgee Cotton cases, in
volviHg 1855, 900 in favor Of the Brit

Ter on the other side loses his prospec-

cent, and an actual cash investment of

has won the Farrsgut prize cases, the

$40, 900 is to be divided between Ben
and his three associates in the case.
We have but little news to give our
readers from the old State, but what
we give is very good:
RALEIGH, n. c., May 3.-In the mu-
nicipal election to-day the Democrats
carried eleven out of seventeen alder
men, and elected the Mayor. This is
/ the first time since the war that the

borO, Charlotte, Henderson and War
renton, which are all the towns heard
from.
Thus do the bright bars Of the Bo-
reals shoot up in the long night Of
our political skies.

Ex-Governor English of Connect
cut, who recently made visit to Texas,
could not have said anything more
pleasant of that state than this:
"The people in Texas have seeming
ly forgotten that there ever was war,
and, from every act and expression,
CLEAN the information that they well
come anybody who will come here to
better their condition, regardless of
any political association. 1t is a very
rare thing for them to refer to mans
politics; not half. se much aS-ws in
New England do" ,a e or ! ~:
''They are making filings at the ladies
for their eagerness to attend the races
at New Orleans and elsewhere. But
what would become Of even the human
race without the poor dears' attend
ance, We should like to know"
So says the 81. Louis Republican.
Who the fingers are, above referred to,
we have not the means of knowing {;
but by her eagerness to witness horse
race, woman at least conserves the de-
cencies of life far better than by throng-

Mrs. Tilton has made passionate
appeal TO the court to allow letter TO
be read to the jury, wherein she pro-

charged against her in the suit of her
husband against the Brooklyn Pastor.
The Judge has informed her that it is
not proper matter to go TO the jury.

since 1865. The Democrats were beat

Southern bummers and buzzards, who
have been calling themselve Republi-
cans, do not seem to like the appoint
ment of Judge PierrepOnt; the fewer
of them real Republicans have to carry
the happier they will be- Missouri

The bummers and buzzards are to be
made the Jonah of the shattered hulk
of the Republican party.

The Jackson Wing and Tribune is
/ a ''httle OFF, when it coutradicts the
statement in the Herald that Governor
Porter reviewed the troops in Nash
vile, on Sunday.-lH humboldt Herald.
Correct-The Herald was more
righteous than VIC. We shall be more
guarded hereafter when we take Issue
with the Herodetus of the Crossing.
Virginia has had tournament, in
Surry County, and the chivalrous gem
tlemen and fair daughters of the Old
Dominion seem to have revived the
knightly graces of the olden times, that

was one of the successful knights.

The Whittle and Bliss religious revi-
val continues to draw immense crowds
at Nashville Moody and Sankey, two.
American reyivalists, are doing an i'm

One after another, Judges in South
ern States are instructing grand iuries
that the civil rights law is unconstitu-

this is exactly the right way to settle
such question. 1t ought to be taken
as early as possible before the supreme |
Court for adjudication,-Mo. Dem.
