A Lonely Death.

Yesterday morning, the dead body of
Michael Carr, u colored man, about 90
years of age, was found in the tenement
house on the farm of David X. Lyman,
between Newport and Chris.ia where
he resided all alone. Carr WAS last seen
alive on Saturday last, and nothing
strange was thought of his absence for
a day or two, until yesterday, when
they became alarmed at his prolonged
absence. They went in search Of him,
broke open his house and found his
dead body as stated above. 1t Is said
that Carr had been subject to epileptic
fits, and had often remarked that some
day they would find his dead body in
his lonely home. Coroner Weldin in
company with Dr. Ogle, visited the
scene yesterday afternoon, viewed the
remains aud made investigation as to
the manner of his death, and rendered
II verdict that death resulted from nat
ural causes.
Michael was very respectable hard
working colored man, who spent the
most OF his time working amongst the
Lynams. Last year he resided on Du.
Pont street near Eighth, and when he
came to vote at the polls in the Western
precinct of the Fifth Ward, though
having paid his tax and having a resu-
lar receipt from tho collector OF Chrls.
tiana Hundred, he WAS refused vote
by that sterling Democratic manager
and 'txer" Of elections, William IL.

Southern KepuDiicans Pleased.

w ASH NGrDS, Dec. ZE.-COi. Jack
Brown, of Georgia, one of the 200 IN
the Chicago Convention, expresses the
opinion that the election of BrOwnlow
D1orkeeper Of the House was having a
wholesome ehect throughout the South.
"Thisis the first tincin years, said Col.
Brown, "that southern man has been
given SO important place III the ite.
publican organization OF either branch
of Congress, and the members OF the
party in the South regard il as an omen
that their claims are to be recognized in
the future. They " i'll say to each other,
'Why here i, BrOwulow been given a
GOOD place, and there is no reason to be-
lirve that the party Intends 10 treat us
unfairly The result will hrthe Rcpub-
lican vote will be greatly increased
everywhere. Heretofore many Rcpub.
licans have reasoned to themselves that
it made little difference to them wheth'
er Democrat or Republican was elected
to Congress, as SouthernerS are never
accorded any position Of influence IN
the organization or on conmlJ Jtees, ana
the result has been general apathy III
the south. Now, think there Will be a
much larger representation of liepubll-
cans in the next Congress than now,
and will warrant a good share from
Georgia. II it doesn't turn out so, then
You may say | don't know anything
about the people among whom ! nave

During the greater part of the after
noon Guiteau was engaged in writing
an article, which he is preparing for
publication, and apparently paid little

was excused.
Guiteau Immediately shouted, "These

indicted for perjury, and replied that
he had. Upon attempting to explain, a
stormy, wordy dialogue ensued. Gun

most extraordinary liar iu America.
Witness was finally permitted to ex.

BEFORE HEMAYOK
An affecting and Amusing Scene
at police Court last Night.

Mayor Almond occupied his ac-
customed CHAIR. at pollce court iast
evening, and dispensed justice 20
the following prisoners: VIM. Ma
lonrv, arrested at the middle depot. for
being drunk and d!sorderly, was or
dereu 10 pay fine of 81 and costs.
A poor Old man was placed in the dock,
charged with drunkenness, anu ap-
paren,ly vagrant, was about to be
committed to jail, when he testihed
that he came here to look for work, and
in an unlucky moment, became drunk
and was arrested. In telling his story,
the tears rolled down his cheeks, and
he appearel to be too full for utterance.
The Mayor gave him another chance
to procure work, and imposed the usual
fine of 30 cents and costs. When leav-
lug the dock, the prisoner SAID: ~ ou II
never have u chance at me again III
Wilmington, and evidently, from this,
as soon ;Is liberated he will give Will
uington wide berth.
ReDeCca Jetleris, colored, was ar
raigned before his honor, charged upon
oath of Jennie Blown, also colored,
with using threatening and abusive
Language toward her. The prisoner,
upon entering the dock, presented a
document to the mayor, from Squire
Cole, before whom she had just been
convicted, and heavily fine I, for the
same offence, and indirectly by the
same party. Under these circumstances
the mayor dismissed the case, giving as
his opinion that the plaintiff wished to
crush the defendant and rob her OF her
earnings, by having her arrested AZ az
often as She could. Jennie did not ike
this decision, ard let the court room,
multrrinv threats against the prisoner
Mary Benson, small colored girl, was
arrested for the larceny of u par OF
skates, Il coat and "a pair of gloves, from
little girl named Mary Ida WOOD
The articles were stolen, the other day,
in front Of the court house, mention OF
which was made III this paper at the
time. Mary was committed ID default
