Mr.. Hugh 81. Walker, whose serious III:
ness was snncunced I'd my letter OF yester--
.day. is reported slightlyI better to-day.
= III Is said there areten candidates for the
office OF Street Commissioner, which Is TO
be flied by the new Council on: the LIST OF
july, Candidates for all other offices to De
filed at that time are very numerous.
Registration is making very slow progress
to-day, owing, probably, to the very IN
clement weather, ...f..,
The train west on the Atlantic Missts-
sippi and Ohio railroad to-day carried up as
messengers O large number OF clergy and
iaymen, en- route to attend the Episcopai
Council. Among the number was Bishop
Whittle, the clergy OF this city and Nor
folk, and many from the adjacent country
parishes. s6fi ~ -
Many people in our midst favored pri-
mary election because they thought that so
few attended the ward-meetings that the
choice OF the people for the different offices
could not be obtained there. And yet is
shown that at the ward-meetings for tho
nomination of councilmen in 1876 Third
and Fourth Wards cast over half as many
votes as was polled in the whole city at the
primary last week.
Anumber- OF the Odd-FelIows Of this city
will visit Manchester on Friday evening
next to assist in the institution OF new
lodge OF that order in that city.
The Republicans will hold mass-meet-
ing tomorrow night to discuss the political
situation. 1t is not believed that. they will
put a general ticket in the field, but it is
thought they may show fight on the Council
tickets in one or more OF the wards.
Captain B. T. Childrey lRepubIican) an
nounces himself candidate for Mayor; but
If the Conservative nominee has no stronger
opposition he need have no fear Of the re-
suit. -z.s...
The store and residence at the corner OF
Bollingbrook and Second streets, lately
owned and occupied by Mrs. Virginia E.
Robinson, was sold at auction last evening.
Mr.. David Baily was the purchaser at
81. $50.
A special train will be run from this city
to Richmond on Friday evening to enable
our citizens to hear the Italian opera. Ii
the weather is fair goodly number will 90
over.
A strong easterly storm has prevailed all
day, with continuous and heavy fall oil
rain. The weather is really cold-partaking
much more OF the nature Of February than
of the month or flowers. ...s.s. -. Il.
Our fruit and getable-growers are be-
ginning to ship quite freely to the northern
| markets. The strawberry crop is larger in
this section this season than has been known
for years. The shipments OF fruits and
vegetables by express through this city
| from North Carolina are Just now very
heavy.
| The tobacco receipts this week have been
light, and sales consequently small.

The Coming GJar.


1t no longer seems possibly
to doubt that in due time war
will be declared between En-
gland and Russia. How long a
time before this declaration will
doubtless depend upon Russia.
The interest Of England is to
protract negotiations, to bring
forward side issues and novel
propositions, and to put off the
decisive moment as long as pos
sible. Meanwhile the Russian
rulers are compelled to maintain
their great armies far from
home, and even to increase them
though the cost of transporta-
ton and Of supplies is something
enormous; and thus every day
that this condition endures Rus
sia is weakened by an expendi-
ture that she can ill afford, while
leisurely prepares, and,
, 1878-06-08

to all that any sneaklng or at
tempted evasion cannot and
ought ne. to be tolerated. The
few, if there are any such, who
refuse to assume their share Of
this responsibility while expect
ing to profit by its success, will
be exempt by law, but will make
themselves proper objects for
social ostracism and public con-
tempt, the parriahs Of society.
We heard one say that he would
not subscribe a dollar for the
road if a Chinaman was employ
ed in its construction. 1t would
be as sensible for starving
man to refuse to eat a dinner
cooked by a Chinaman. When
ever Cinnamon come into COM
petlon with white men our sym
pathies are naturally with eur
own race; but whenever a great
public or private advantage is
only obtainable by employing
Chinese labor, which deprives
no white man of employment, it
would be the height Or folly not
to employ them. 1t any COM
pany will undertake to build
our railroad by white labor ex-
clusively, there is not white
man in the community who
would not make an extra exer-
ton to give them the job; but if
it can only be done by China
men, nothing could be more alb
Surd than to sacrifice the inter-
ests of the whole community to
a sentiment whereby not & hu-
man being would be benefited.
No sensible man would manage
his own personal affairs in that
way. The necessity and the i'm
mense advantages Of the rail
road all acknowledge. That is
what we want, and how it is to
be accomplished is a secondary
consideration. We know upon
1. lat conditions it can be secur-
ed and that those conditions are
very moderate in comparison to
tHe great advantages to be gain
el thereby, Why should we
higgle about details Of no prac-
ti-al bearing?
