CELEBRATION AT EDENTON.

The Plymouth Monitor Of the 9Th
has this to say about our celebration :
The celebration of the 4th of July
at Edenton yesterday was in every
respect highly creditable 80 patriotic
people. The town was ornamented
with flags of various designs emble-
NAUTICAL of many facts worthy Of
remembrance, the band music was
gratifying to the lover. of the Divine
Art, the speeches and recitations
commanded merited applause and
call went merry as marriage bell"
The pavements were at times rendered
impossible by natural distractions.
That which was SO very worthy of
admiration however, was the most
excellent order that prevailed and
the general good feeling exhibited by
all AS we are just going to press
we can say no more about that mat
ter now but we will push in the fol-
lowing anyhow as conclusion:
Hurrah for Edenton -
Fisherman & farmer. [volume] (Edenton, N.C.) 1887-19??, 1888-07-13

THROUGH the Economist we learn
that Gov Lee of Virginia has replied
to Gov. Scales Of North Carolina in
relation to the depreciation of Vir-
ginians and other non residents upon
the naturIl oyster rocks of Pamlico
sound, He makes the following
suggestions:
in order to protect our Virginia
waters from depreciation of Maryland
and other foreign oystermen, as well
as to carry out among our own cltl
zens our laws bearing upon such
subjects, we keep constantly en-
plOyed one steamer or gunboat and
two sailing vessels. [ co not see an
way by which l can keep Virginia
vessels in Virginia waters, but | do
hope you will have their crews
arrested and tried by your laws, when
caught depredating in the waters OF
your State. If North Carolina pos
sesses no oyster navy could it not
temporarily organize one or two
gunboats and capture the offenders
and thereby make an example of
them? Perhaps such actions would
have the effect of preventing future
depreciation"

A few days since VIM. Henderson,

A Raleigh letter of July 9TH says
The case of Cross and White, the
D esident and cashier of the broken
State National Bank, has again
become a matter Of much interest and
speculation. The time for hearing
is during the court which sits here
next week, with Judge Avery pre-
siding. 1t will be called about
Thursday. The counsel for the
defendants have been busy for some
days past in the interest of clients.
All papers bearing upon the case
have been rigidly examined, and if
there is hitch or flaw anywhere it
is expected that it will be used,
either as basis for an effort to guash
the indictment or postpone the trial.
1t is thought that the so-called
agreement between the United
States authorities and Cross and
White, made at the time they returned
from Canada, will be presented as 6
reason for Quashing.
