Butcher Butle', II he is usuTper Of a
seat in Congress does not fail some-
times 10 tell the truth, though in the
main he Ia no more reliable than Sena-
tor Bayard Is. He is at any rate a
genuine southerner and no mistake.
The following paragraph uttered, by
that gen ntIemap, il in fall accord with
the Hamburg bu'chery in which he
figured 30 conspicuously. He says:
81 tell you, cir, it Is no logger q
question Of politics With US, We simp.
~ have one proposition staring US in
tie face, and it Is we'll that the people
of the North should understand Il. We
are resolved that the illiterate lower
classes of our State shall not rule. We
have had all tue experiments in that
direction that VIC propose to hare, and
We intend to nse every means, fair or
otherwise, 70 prevent such rule."
This means Of course down With the
"nigger," 10 mkt!er what tho coDStitC-
tion is or the law Of the country may
say. This bloody handed usurper says
we will disresard the rights Of this
iliiterste class he refers to becsuse they
are black. No matter how ignorant
the clay.sating poor white trash of his
State may be, they are, nevertheless the
ruliag claas and always reaiy % do the
Butchers blooty bidding, and % mat

IfIh, present state OF ACTIVITY II
businsss Is to bs taken as a stand posn'
from which to take 3 prospective glance
st the iutare :hel the prospect Ii
most encouraging. Inquiry at tbs
machine, ship and nearly every othe
kind OF mAu q factories is met with To-
emphatic response, "@e have as muet
a, wa can do this winter with as favor
able \ lockout tor next summer as cal
ba desired" The coach manufacture
alone which are generally slack during
tha winter are q little slack thl'
winter but this Is what they alESy'
expect. With this uraging pros
psct In view special attention shoult
b. paid to the extension Of the cit,
railway. There should be at least t"'
branch extensions next summer oom
ulsted. We are informed that thu
contemplated branch from Tenth auc
Market to King and out King to Marke
again at the BrAndywine Bridge and
from thence oct to within short walk
Of Rivervisw cemetery, is meeting With
good encouragement. We are glad &c
hear this al an extension in that d.
rs,tion Is much neodsd, aud now tha'
IL has advanced so far on the way W.
hope the oitil ms along that route vi
not let the movement fall through for
ths need oil fow more SHARES OF stock.
Ii. our cititsns along that rout5 b
Mbsral. A large number in the city
who ara not oa thu direct line have al
interest 10 RivaryieE csnJtery which
they oitsn wish TO visit. Fness per
sons also have an interest III th9 pre-
posed extension Of tle city railway AND
should sNSscri5e literally ia stock.
We ara al5o pleased to dad the people
In the western part OF the city, waking
mp to tn. importance OF having AZ ox-
tension line that will tOuch the cenres
Of population and run as near the
manu- tsc oriss IS possible.
The most populsr route proposed
on Froa! srstt - Madison, up Mad
ison 10 Fourth, out Fourth to Brooms,
and along Brooms to connect with the
line proper at the S)ldierS' monument.
The hill in the western part OF tho city
presents Troublesome barrier no NIT
ter which stEse. is used, but upon the
whole it is thought that Fourth street
presents the easieitgrsie. This brings
the line through the thickly populated
district Of the First W ard directly past
q large number Of manufactures and
within easy access oil many mors. II
the citizens along the proposed route
want q city railway now is the time to
move in the matter as the Company is
prepared to DO its part as soon as ths
citizens will do theirs aud subscribe
Sufficient shares Of stuck to wArfsn; the
company In making & commencement.
With every mandatory busy next
summer, and these proposed railway
extensions under way, Wilmington
will receive such q ssnd of in business
IS she has never belore experienced in
one year.

In appealingto our citizens q few
days ago to make q serious effort to-
wards constructing a railroad to
Clinton and Liberty, we alluded to
hepublic spirit displayed by those
of Natchez. We now give them the
proof or what We then asserted. The
following speaks for itself:
NATcHEz, Dec. 1.-THE city cleo
ton to-day, for mayor and board of
alderman passed off very quietly.
The principal interest centered in the
subscription Of two hundred and
twenty. five thousand dollars in bonds
to assist in building the Natchez,
Jackson and Columbus railroad,
which was also to be voted for, and
was carried by handsome majority.
Mayor Griffin, present incumbent,
was reelected by small majority
over Major Power.
