Il Startling Serenade,
VILLAINoUs ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP
A WEDDING PARTY.

WEDDING PARTY.
Jacob Houseworth is the pro-
prietor of the Maple Grove Hotel.
in Van Wyck avenue, West Jamaica,
l.. |. His son Peter was married on
Tuesday evening. Between IL and
| O'Clock, as the friends of the newly
welded couple were dancing in the
ballroom over the bar, they were
startled by loud report, followed
by the falling Of glass and plaster.
The explosion shook the building
from end to end, and extinguished
all the lig its in the h )use. The
dancers were left in darkness, and
the women screamed with terror.
AS quick as possible, light was
procured and an examination made
TO discover the cause of the ex-
plosion. 1t was found that some
person had placed a quantity of
giant powder under the east end of
the stoop and fired it with fuse, a
piece of the fuse being under a
stone. The explosion tore the stoop
away, blew the front door off its
hinges, broke the bar-room windows
and all the fixtures in the bar and
the crockery in the closets. 1t also
loosened the entire siding of the
house, causing the walls of the bar
room to fall. The walls in almost
every room in the house were badly
cracked. Fortunately no person was
injured. The powder and fuse, it is
believed, were obtained at the ceme.

Too SwEEPING.-We regret to admit it,
yet a Republican stump speaker this Fall,
with a lot of Raleigh Democratic papers IN
his pocket, will be the worst foe we will have
to meet. If any one wants to see the weak
spots in either Jarvis or Fowle and all the
meanness either Of them ever committed
during a life time, they have only to pick
up a Raleigh paper of some late day.-Con-

Too Much MACHINE.-In the whole his
tory of North Carolina, and particularly of
the Democratic party in this State, We
doubt if the like of State functionaries de-
scending from their high official position to
mingle with the people for partisan pur-
poses, as we believe has been recently done,
was ever witnessed before to the degree and
extent which has characterized the conduct
of some high officials in Raleigh within the
past few months. There is too much ma
chine politics carried on the capital now,
and in our opinion there has been more
than one too many printed epistles and doc
uments circulated among the dear people,
to be in our humble judgment, consistent
with the dignity and duty Of high State Of
fcials. Win Rertew.
We do not precisely comprehend to what
Bro. James alludes. But undoubtedly On
general principles it is improper for any Of
fetal to WELD the power and prestige confer
red on him by the votes Of the party, and for
the good of the State, not for the perpetua
ton of personal dynasties, or the gratiica-
ton of personal preferences of prejudices)+
of his official position for p~artizan purposes.
1t was this sort of thing that destroyed the
Radical party. We We're told last week
by a we'll known friend Of Gov. Jarvis that
r. A. Shotwell stood no chance of being
| nominated for Auditor, because he hadn't
Joined in with Jarvis, etc. Another gen
| tleman regretted that certain Railroad in
fuences' were opposing the nomination of
Shotwell.
We replied, in each case, that we doubt
if any such disposition exists; but it it does
exist, SO much the worse for the DISPOSE
ton.
From the beginning of the campaign we
have endeavored to do exact justice between
| all asnirants for marty hOnOrS In No instance
have we knowingly done injustice. Neither
publicly nor privately have we assailed any
of them. Preference we certainly have, and
are entitled to have. It is the duty of every
good Democrat to make up his mind which
one Of the candidates is most deserving,
most reliable, most available for the pend
ing campaign. All editors, in particular,
we think, are bound to decide who is the
best man to nominate and give their rea-
sons for the belief that is in them.
But only among small souled people does
a political preference for one aspirant imply
hatred and injustice to all others. It is not
necessary to wage bitter warfare upon Jar
Wis, because you happen to believe Judge
Fowle the better man to head the ticket.
AS for ourselves, we told the gentlemen
referred to and we, here repeat it, that if We

then there is mo chance" for us, now o

Gov. Jarvis, we understand, has his slate

Speaking in favor of Judge Eure for
Congress-, a correspondent of the Falcon
asks this pertinent question:
Have YOU an able. available man IN your
ranks, who is not only a good man now. but
who can go to Washington for two, four or
six years AND CONE BACK TO Us A GOOD
MAN; who will be proof to all the tempta-
tions and corrupting influences OF Congress
life and while filling our seat in that body
will cast ALL his votes with an eye single to
the true interests of his constituents and
not one for popularity with the hope OF
another term?'
This idea Of sending to Congress a man

| went, must soon narrow the list OF candl-
dates.
