THE 4TH IN RALEIGH.-Notwith-
standing a succession of drenching show
ers, the Esprit of our Grand-sires" man
aged to raise its head on the 4th of july,
and showed that it ''still lives, Though
rather diluted" by the Pluvian pro-
ceedings. Bombs, Bells, Brass-Bands.
and Burnt Powder, filled the day until
sunset; when the firemen and infantry
filed down to the platform in front of
the old Governors Palace. Mr.. Martin
Van Buren, Gilbert, who carries more
patriotism to the square inch of bread
basket than any Ii we know, presi-
ded; Mr.. ~. y. Brockwell read the
Declaration and Mr.. b. Il. Lewis,
Jr delivered the Grafton, and did it, we
hear, in excellent style N spite of the
confusion arising from 4 fresh down-pour
of the rain. The same cause lessened
the success of the fireworks which the
Messrs. Lumsden had arranged on liber-
al scale.

BASE BALL.-The Raleigh swift
foots' are to-day in Portsmouth playing
the crack nine. 1t may be tough work,
as the people of hat town are mainly
railroad, maynard, and boat men,
whose hardy lives renders them natural
athletes. However the lively-foots last
week ran away with the ''Athletic' team
Of this city.
The Durham Banner club won IN
a lively game last week with the Oxford
Club, which came over in a coach, and
received many conn liments and courte-
sizes in Durham. Prof. jerome G.. Hor-
ner is Captain, and made the best play,
which shows that mind and muscle need
not necessarily pout their noses at each
other.

A Much Married Mnn

New YORK, Nov. 25.--Laura MeGlenn
and Wm. w. Houehton we're married In
Brooklyn in July, 1855, and went to Mobile
TO reside. Five months aftcrward Mrs.
Houghton left her husband and returned to
this city. She charged him with i'll treat
mont In about year the couple became
reconciled, but in 1862 the wife again de-
ed lin, making the same complaint.
Houghton subsequently entered the Co1fed-
crate army and was later reported TO have
been killed. Mrs. Houghton believed this
until May last, when she learned that her
husband was then living in Mobile with an
other woman, who claimed to be his wife.
Mrs. Houghton visited Mobile and caused
Houghtou's arrest. He claimed TO have been
divorced from her, and produced decree
purporting to have been granted by the
supreme court of this county in March, 1866,
giving him divorce from Rose Ann Hough-
ton. Mrs. Houghton now asks the decree to
be set aside as fraudulent, on the grounds
that it had been granted under a false name,
and that the testimony affecting her fidelity
was untrue. Houghton was ordered to show
cause on the 18th proximo why the divorce
should not be set aside.

Going to Reconstruct a Navy.
,Snecisl Telepram TO the Glohe

WASHINGTON. Noy. 25.-John Roach has
hardly expressed his cheerful congratulations
upon the result of the election when th1
news comes of the work being done by tn,
joint-committee on ordnance and shipping.
Representative Crisp, of Georgia, who is on
that committee has arrived here, and says
that Mr.. Randall and other members arr
still busying themselves in their in
quries as TO the facilities possessed by
the heavy iron and steel manufacturers
of the country to turn out big guns. Sew
eral establishments in Pennsylvania remain
to be visited. Col. Crisp says report will
be made early in the session. The trip has
been no junketing affair, but strictly busi-
ness. Senator Hawley, who is on this COM
mittee, and who has been observing the ear
nestness manifested by the Democratic
members in the investigation, thinks that il
will be a marked feature of the Democratic
policy to press vigorous measures for the re-
construction of the navy. Many things
indicate that the first heavy draft on the
treasury surplus will be in favor of war yes
sells and eouinments. Under such circum-
stances more than ordinary interest attaches
IN the announcement made to-day that to-
morrow at the Washington navy yard they
will mt a 1O-inch jacket on a tube. For
1be heneft of the horse marines, it is ex-
nlained that this will be the largest piece OF
pun-making ever done on this side of the
Atlantic.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-- President Arthur
friends now consider hopeless any chance
his election to she United States senate. The
division within a contentric but powerful
circle within the party lines is such that
both the president and Conkling woul1
be slaughtered by diverse in
terests. Although Conhing openly
does not appear to take much interest in po-
litical affairs, he is secretly the Nemesis
ready to slaughter Arthur as he did Blain

Committee and ConkliHg.
New YORK, Nov 24.-The following is
the letter Of the Democratic national COM
mittee to ex-senator ConkIng, asking his
services as counsel during the canvass of the
votes of the recent election:
New YORK, Nov. 8, 1S34.-My Dear Sir:
There seems to be reason to apprehend q
design to involve in litigation and uncer-
tainty the presidential election in this state
and perhaps elsewhere. The Democratic
committee have no doubt of the result of the
election, and wish TO establish the exact
truth in the mode prescribed
by law. At the same time
the wish is strong to spare the country per
lod of agitation and excitement. We ask
you as counsel to give such advice and sug-
gest such action as will aid in the prompt ana
lawful ascertainment of the truth. This is
all we mean ourselves, and all We shall eX-
pect of you. Yours truly,
w. E. SMITH, Chairman Ex. Com.
To Roscoe Conkling, No. Wall street,
New York City.
Mr.. Cnukling replied as follows:
New York, Nov. 10, 18S4.-My dear sir:
Your letter of The Gay before yesterday has
been carefully considered. / am in full ac-
corc with the purposes you declare. Nothing
could be more hurtful to the
state of New York and the country
than a successful attempt TO confus,
and ensnare the result Of t. late presideutia
election. The modes oi the law, quietly and
honestly observed, will quickly reveal and
establish the actual truth. To assist in as
suring this is a clear duty resting on every
citizen, regardless of his party attachments
am at the service of your committee Tor ali
in my power in this behalf. and for all l can
do to prevent and oppose any effort to dis
pute by technicaiites the verdict which has
been ren Tered. or to binder or to delay its
acceptance. Your obeiitnt servant

that she earnestly wishes that her daughter
would eat something. Katie, herself, talks
little snd in 4 scarcely audible voice She
says she has no appetite for anything, even
were she in a condition to eat. She is firm
in the belief that she will eventually be re-
stored'tO health.
DR.. Zoller, the family physician, says that
she takes no medicine now and has not fo-
some time. at Is q very strange case" said
the doctor 10 a reporter to-day. 81 do not
know what to think OF It. To exist without
nourishment for this length OF time is con
,rary to all medical science, and yet during
all my attendance on her
have never seen her eat anything nor
have discovered any indications that she

10 eat anything her stomach could stand and
nave taken delicate gruels to her, bur she
always absolutely refuses to partake Of them.
How much longer she can live in this eondi-

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The attention Of
Attorney General Brewster was called, this
afternoon, TO the order Of United States Mar
shal Root, of Iowa, disbanding the Blaine
and Logan clubs,in which he uses the follow
ing language about GOV. ST. John:
ALE is a traitor, fraud, guerrilla. We can
not bring him into camp, but We viii report him
TO the hospital steward found dead No ques-
lions will be asked
The attorney general was asked If that
wasn't a pretty incendiary remark to throw
out among Republicans who were burning
and hanging Mr.. St. JOINTS efiigy. and in
fact an ineiiement to commit murder. The
attorney general treated il very lightly, say
ing that while it was very silly piece of
nonsense, the fact that il WAS only
intended as joke was apparent
and he was sure Republican anger at St
John was not hot enough to make Mr.
Roots little joke dangerous. At any rate
Marshal Roots language was something the
department could not regulate. II be were
doing any harm it was matter for the Iowa
authorities to atteLd 10.
