nerce, in an article on the general
amnesty in France and at home, says
that the delay in granting universal
amnesty is beyond it's comprehension.
1t rests on no national basis what
ever. "There is not living soul at
the South" observes the journal,
sswho meditates disturbing the general
tranquility, even in his widest dreams.
Every man who has been reclothed
with citizenship has made himself
thepceforth s'aunch upholder of the
Federal power; and there is no reason
to believe that there will be one ex-
ception to that rule. Everything is
to be gained and nothing feared from
the broadcast exercise of the virtue OF
pardon. For its longer postponement
there is not even the poor excuse OF
political expediency. All parties would
derive strength from it. Why, then,
is general amnesty not declared? Ii
would be shameful if Congress should
let the Fourth OF July of the centcn-
NAL year go by and this net Of mercy,
Justice and good policy remain IN.

OBI TUAR II.
DR. Joseph Dickson PearsaI.


1t is a sad event in our life when it
becomes our painful duty to reeord
the death of one Vf our best men and
most exemplary ciiizens.
The subject of this notice, DR.. j. ID:
Pearsall, was native of Duplin
county and born in 1880. At an early
age he commenced the study of medi-
cine and graduated with distinction at
the Jefferson Medical College in
As an immediate friend and medical
al wiser of the deceased, we feel pecu-
liarly prepared to speak in regard to
him. He was o man of extraordinary
promise. To the instincts of gen
tleman he had. .added (though never
publicly professed) the graces of
Christian Gentle and refined by ma
ture he had cultivated the loveliest
traits of human character. In his
younger days an enthusiast In the
study of medicine lie had diligently
prepared himself for career OF use
fitness and hOnor as a physician, and
but for his physical disability won!d
have made himself an ornament to his
profession and an honor to his county.
DIR. Pearsan in all the relations of
,.life-as husband, father, brother and
citizen-sustained an unblemished and
spotless character, and here at his
adopted home in Sampson county, he
won by his gentle and sympathetic
manners the affectiOnate regards of
the people and acquired for himself
.''troops of friends" He had suffered
for many years with that great enemy
to the human race "phthisic pulmo,
nails, and though for sometime aware
of his approaching dissolution, he
bore his atf1lction with the utmost re-
signation, fortitude and faith, and his
last hours were peaceful and calm.
He died at his late residence in
Sampson county, on Thursday, 28th
day of April, A. D.. 1876. No purer
or nobler, or brighter spirit ever re-
| turned to the God who gave it being.
It,however, must afford his berea7ed
relations and friends intense satisfac-
| ton to know that there were kind
| hearts and gentle hands ard prayecfui
tongues around him, and that the tears
shed upon his bier we're those of trust,
friendship and deepest sorrow. And
we regard his death not only a great
loss TO his family and friends who
| knew his kindness of heart and many
social virtues, but also to the commun
ity at large, who feel the need of his
influence and counsel in all matters
pertaining to the welfare and prosper
ity of our entire section of country.
His funeral was preached by the
| Rev Is. f. Marable and his remains
followed TO the grave by large pro
cession of sorrowing relatives and
sympathizing friends and there in that
beautiful aud lovely resting place O
the dead, the Masonic fraternity be
slowed their last sad rites upon the
body of their departed and lamented
| brother. w. g. W.

There seems to be some doubt Iii
Republican quarters whe' HOY that
venerable and successful poddler, Mr..
Simon Cameron, can deliver the goods
he has sold. The Baltimore 4nttric0n
says: "Senator Cameron has great
power in Pennsylvania politics, is
noted for the fidelity with which he
carries out his political promises, and
the unit rule which was imposed upon
the Pennsylvania delegation by the
State Convention Will perhaps favor
such a movement; and yet We doubt
the possibility of carrying it out. Mr..
Conkling has absolutely no strength
in Pennsylvania; indeed he has been
regarded NTH positive disfavor by the
Republicans of that State; and though
the task of bringing the delegation to
vote for him after the withdrawal of
Hartranft may be within the possibili-
ties, yet if Mr.. Cameron has under
taken it we think he will find it most
difficult of accomplishment"

1t would appear that the parties
concerned in Grants coup d'etat, which
for the past few days has been the all
absorbing sensation in political circles.
are becoming alarmed at their own
audacity. A Washington special says:
''St nator Conkling. in conversation on
Friday afternoon, denied, as was to be
expected, that the recent nominations
were in his interest. He said that the
statements to that effect were lie, but,
he admitted, very plausible lie. He
said that Senator Morton was satisfied
that he (Conkliug) had nothing to do
with the matter. In fact, said Mr..
Conkling, the only man outside who
knew anything about it was George
w. Childs. 1t is very apparent that
the comments made on the nomina-
tions, or rather the manner in which
they were set up has not been alto
gether agreeable to the parties con-
Ger ned. This, added to the remarka
BILE score for Blaine in the recent Re
publican conventions, has increased
the demoraliz alton to such an extent
that l. is now whispered that Mr.. Don
Cameron hesitates to accept"
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1876-06-02

The idea is slowly making its way
through their heads. The correspond
ent of the New York Times at the Ma
tIonai capital, reporting the comments
on this Cabinet walk-around, mentions
that several of the chest known Re
publicans" have been provoked To I'M
usual plainness of speech. They do
not hesitate to say strongly that, unless
the nomination at Cincinnati is such
as to draw n sharp line between things
present and things future, politically,
the people will see that the change
they demand is brought about by the
election of the St. Louis candidate. >
There will be more of this sort of talk
before there is less. 1t has the true
inwardness of the situation in it.

A ISelnarkab Egg SIOrY.

Mr.. A. ID. Warren, of this city, has
a remarkable production III the egg
line, who is attracting much att en-
ton and causing considerable disc,l.s.
sion. Mr.. Warren is a we'll known
poultry faucier, and his game bauta ms
have attracted great deal Cf attau
ton. A day Or two since he noticed
that one of bis hens was i'll trouble,
she having the appearances of having
had All egg broken III Ii: T. She WAS
accordingly killed and opened, when It
perfectly formed egg, rs large as n
goose egg, was discovered. This upon
being put in The scales WAS found to
weigh four and three ounces. The
egg was then blown, and after the
white and yolk had been forced out it
was found that inside was a second
perfectly formed egg, which was also
blown, and found to contain a yolk
and white in their proper proportions.
The only difference between the outer
she'll and the shell OF an ordinary egg
is that it is exceedingly brittle, and
has to be handled with the utmost
care to prevent its breaking The len
was but two years old, and weighed
before the egg was removed two and
one-hOlf pounds.
