The Meanest Man Again.

After considerable argument the sup
posed meanest man was located in New
York, but his abiding place is Los An
geles. He shaved himself during the week
until he learned the price Of shave
is two bits on Sunday, since which time
he shaves on Sunday, to save the extra
dime. His penurious nature was made
worse by smoking inferior cigars in
stead Of the celebrated Tansill's Pinch

the Rev. Mr.. Warrington, Of the Christian
Church, SIS, to officiate at his funeral. I'M
mediately after this he sent for the railroad
agent at Hagerstown, and chartered tram
of baggage and three passenger cars to take
his remains and ITO friends to his hneral at
West Sonora, Ohio. He paid for this in
advance, and also sent cash to the best hotel
in West Sonora for dinner for the entire
party. Not detail in the funeral was
forgotten, even to the floral tributes. His
orders were fully carried out, and when his
body was laid in the ground no one in the
world had claim Of cent against his es-
tate and no one owed it cent"
- The trial, in Atlanta, Ga, last week,
of Romulus Shields, colored, for the MUIR
der of young white man named Joyner,
resulted in acquittal. One night last sum-
mer, JOyner and a company of hilarious
young white men were out seeing the town.
The party went into quarter where lived a
number of colored people, and row ensued,
in which Shields inflicted fatal wounds on
Joyner. He was brought to trial and con-
victed of manslaughter, but public sympa-
thy sustained Shields as having acted IN
defense of invaded rights. A new trial was
obtained, and every influence Of social po-
sition, able counsel and adroit management
was exhausted to secure conviction. The
action of the jury in acquitting the prison.
er is evidence that the cOlOred mans SEN
sibilities and rights in Georgia are as sacred
as those of the white man, and that those
who wound them must abide the cOnse-

CAPTURING NORTH CAROLINA.

The indications are that Arthur is schem-
ing for 1884, and that by reintroducing the
Grant element in North Carolina, as he has
done in the appointment of Wheeler as
collector of internal revenue, he expects to
capture that State. A Washington dis
patch says:
In the consolidation of the internal reve-
nue. districts of North Carolina the Presi-
dent has recognized the StalWart or Grant
element by restoring to position William
H. Wheeler as internal revenue collector,
with enlarged jurisdiction. Mr.. Wheeler
was removed in 1880 through the influence
of Mr.. John Sherman, then secretary of
the treasury, because he persisted in using
his patronage to send Grant rather than
Sherman delegates to the Chicago Conven-
ton. Ever since the advent of Mr.. Arthur
to the Presidency the StalWarts of North
Carolina have made strong fight for the
restoration of Wheeler, and the President
has at last acceded to their wishes, with the
understanding that Wheeler and the Stall
wart element will give in their full adhe-
sion to the coalition movement in North
Carolina. Everett, the person put in by
Mr.. Sherman, is cOnsOled with the tender
of an office in one of the territories said to
be quite profitable. This appointment of
Wheeler, with other Federal appointments
previously made, hands back to the Grant
element of North Carolina all of the valu-
able Federal patronage taken from it by
Mr.. Sherman, and is destined to have much
influence on politics in the State. AS above
intimated, the entire Federal patronage in
North Carolina will now be used for all that
it is worth in furthering the coalition move
ment, and whatever substantial results ac-
crue will prove for the benefit of the Stall
warts. 1t is now considered assured that
either Arthur, or any one that he may pre-
fer, viii have the North Carolina delegates

DEATH OF GEN. CONNER.

A notice of the death of this distinguished
Carolinian is published on the fourth page
of this issue. His remains were inferred at
Magnolia Cemetery, Charleston, Thursday
afternoon. Business in the city was partial
ly suspended, stores and other buildings
were draped in mourning and unusual evil
dences of public sorrow were observed on
all sides. The obsequies of few men in
Charleston have been attended with so gen
eral public demonstration. Gen. James
Conner was manned Confederate soldier
and probably died from the effects of inju-
ries and exposure during the war. He was
consummate lawyer and noble patriot.
Peace be with him!
