Captain G. Is. BietIaen, prominently
known in mining and real estate circles,
dropped dead yesterday on the street.
His death is attributed 20 heart disease.
The deceased was so years OF age and
leaves A wife and several children.
Since the suicide Of Charles GUNNER,
Receiving Teller of the Bank of Cali
fornia in this city some Time ago, it has
transpired that the deceased was a de-
faulter in a very large amount. None
of the city papers seem able to obtain
information as to the exact amount, but
considerably over 100000. The bank
officials preserve rigid secrecy.

The Athenian Assemblies of 40
cient Athens were composed Of oil
the citizens or freeu| len; all foreign.
ers, slaves, womenl childe'n, and
such persons as had received an
Infamous punishment, Dting ex'
cluded. They we're bSld four times
in So days; the place Of meeting
was the forum, the pnyx, or the
temple of Bacchas.
No business could be transacted
in an assembly containing less
than 5000 citizens. When tue ones.
ton under consideration was suf.
fcientIy discussed, the President
called for q decision, which was
manifested by show of hands.
The Senate which was elected
annually, original, consisted Of
400, but was afterwards increased
to 500. 1t was the business OF this
body TO examine, with care, all
matters, before they were proposed
! to the people, and to see that
nothing was submitted to them
which was contrary to the public
good. The Senate also examined
the accounts of the magistrates,
took care Of the feet, and punished
such offences as were not for
hidden by any written law.
This was the most distinguished
and venerable court Of justice
In ancient times, and took cogni.
zance Of crimes, abuses, and inno-
vatlons, either 10 religion or gov
eminent.
One of the most iniquitons and
absurd pecaliaIities in the gov.
eminent Of Athens, and some other
of the Grecian states, was the prac.
tice of the ostracism, a ballot OF
all the cltiz-Ls, 10 which each
wrote down the name Of the indi.
vidual most offensive to him; and
be who was marked out by the
greatest number Of votes, was
banished from the country for 5,
10, or 20 years.

LETTER FROM TARBoRO.
TARBoRo, February Is.


EDITOR STAR We ali abhor
duplicity whenever and in what
ever place, and a striking case in
point, by way of illustration, will
serve, l hope, to open the blinded
eyes.
Some months ago the tele-
graphic wires flashed across the
continent the joyful news that
our distinguished young friend,
G. Fl. Moore, with others, had
been appointed Storekeeper and
Gauger in the Western District of
the Internal Revenue service of
this State. The news Of course
gladdenel every heart, as it ap--
parently conveyed the impression
that the negroes wrongs would be
speedily righted. But now,
how strange to have our hopes
blighted by receiving the sorrow
full tidings, that the man in whom
we had placed so much confidence,
| Mr.. Everett, the Collector of said
district, has never as yet given
Mr.. Moore employment, and du.
ring these weary seven months he
has plodded bis way, depending
upon broken promises with no
favorable result whatever. IL
something is not done shortly to
secure for him proper recognition,
proportiOnate nc least 0bis merits,
as his appointment suggests, then
let the mater be properly exam.
ined into and ventilated. "The
proof of the pudding" ETC., must
not DO forgotten. l say now,
and always will, that Mr.. Moore
has been shamefally treated, and
even abused. WATCHMAN.

MAY ELECTION IN GoLDsBORo.

As the town election will be
held on the first Monday in May,
we deem it impofl4n' TO say q
few words about town matters In
general, and the way things ale
managed by our city fathers,
who, as a majority, are In favor
uf prohibition, aud are willing to
grind to powder all who have an
opinion of their own and dare to
assert it. We are opposed to
drunkenness 10 every particular,
but va hold if q man wants q
drink Of spirits, he has tight to
Dur chase and drink IL ii he 80 de-
slres, and no man, or set OF men, or
Board OF Town Commissioners,
has a right to compel him, or the
people, to pay three or four prices
for ii, simply because three or
four men control the taxes.
A dry goods merchant only pays
Is cents privilege taxes and ten
cents on the hundred dollars worth
Of bis purchases. This is not the
case with the liquor dealer (; he
pays State and county tax, Sl2O,
and 10 cents on every dollars
worth of goods he buys, in or out
of the State But, does it stop
theref No. He pays 800 to the
town, and besides, he has to pay
to their lordships, eco before they
will take any notice of the appli-
cation. This is al injustice to the
men 10 this business, and one that
the people will settle In the May
election, so lar as Goldsboro is
concerned. II The business is
wrong, Why stop it at once; but
as it is now, the bosses allow them
to sell spirits and then send around
their tithe-gatherers quarterly,
who strip them Of the last penny
they have.
There is bnt one thing N North

KEEP THE BALL IN MOTION.

The colored State Convention,
which will convene In Goldsboro
on the Goth of March, IL all the
talk among the Republicans IN
the eastern section of the State.
In our opinion this convention
will foreshadow the result Of the
November election IN the entire
State and be the means Of bring
ing to the front quite q number of
worthy gentlemen that have not
heretofore been active 10 either
political party. But the prime
object of the convention IL to take
some firm steps to secure q more
Just recognition in the selection
of jurors.
In good old Republican days
colored men were placed in the
jury box, and the people were sat-
isfied, but a. soon as the Demo.
cratic party took charge OF the
courts and selection Of Jurors, me-
groes became scarce and far be-
tween. In Wayne county, f,r
instance, there is never more than
two colored men selected, and in
variably one will be drawn on
the grand jary and the other on
the petit jury; set the names OF
Nil are put In q hat and drawn oat
by a small boy.
The amended constitution OF the
United States, makes the negro
the peer Of any other citizen In
the great union of the States, yet
the Democratic party never fail to
let the negro know that the cotton
fields are open to them, and shat
they have no rights that the white
people are bound to respect" We
say let the convention be teld and
take such steps as will enable
them to take . case to the SUI
preme Court Of the United States
if need be, to break down this
iniquitous innovation of the con-
stisu.ional law Of the land.
