Warrant Out for the Arrest of j. I. Fiour-
noy, of Swansboro'.

J.T. FlournOv is wanted in Swansboro'.

Men in that place. Suspecting that some
thing was wrong the Mechanics week or
two AGO decided 10 send one OF their as
sessrnents through different channel, aud
their apprehensiOns were confirmed when
n few DAYS ago they received letter
returning the money, and saying that the
council had been dropped six months ago
Tor non-payment Of assessments.
It was after this revelation that an IN
vestigatiOn took shape, and last Saturday
afternoon warrant was sworn out bY
officers Of the council charging the young
man with misapplying the orders funds
10 an amount exceeding 500.
The Red Men arc cooperating with tho
Mechanics in the matter, and each have
committees at work to try and ascertain
the amount of their respective losses. lt
will be some time before the Mechanics
can ascertain their shortage. The only
money that passed through FlOurnoy's
hands was what was collected on assess
ments TO the death-benefit fund, which he
was required to send to the Supreme 1rea-
surer. .
The case has been placed in the hands Of
Chief-of-Police Lipscomb. of Manchester,
and the officers of both cities, az well "a
those of the county. are on the lookout
for the Young man. whois between twenty
five and thirty years old. F!ournoy was
last seen on Saturday morning, when.
with a satchel in hand and an overcoat on
his arm, he was walking across the fields
below Manchester to the ryer, where he
crossed over 30 Richmond in row-boat.

IMMANUEL CHAPEL.
The Dedication to Take Place Tonight
Sermon bY DIR. HOgc.

PRESBYTERIAN church-life in this city will
be marked by an interesting event to take
place this evening at O'Clock. when DR..
Hoge will preach the conservation sermon
of Emmanuel chapel.
This chapel is a mission enterprise of the
Fourth Presbyterian church, located IN the
southwestern part of our growing city cor
ner of Beverley and Washington streets.
The chapel is a neat structure built by
George W. Parsons, Esq, the interior being
attractive, convenient. and churchly in ap-
pearance. Emmanuel chapel is a lineal de-
scendant Of DR.. Hoges church, and this
fact will give great zest TO the Doctors
sermon on the occasion.
A happy incident connected with the
services will be the fact that this Is the Sc

both of them will have been consecrated

Mr.. COOPER AND THE GOVERNOR.
Why tho Democrats arc Not Able to DO
3ioro for the BondlIolders.

A special correspondent writing TO the
Norfolk landmark from Richmond saws.
The Governor has written to Mr.. Lub-
book, chairman of the Council and Com
mittee of Foreign Bondholders, thanking
him for his communications and for his
kind expressions.
Mr.. Cooper. the agent of the bondhold-
ers. called on the Governor few nights
ago and exchanged courtesies. He express
ed warm desire to see the debt question
fully settled.
The Governor told him that he was
equally anxious to see the contest over,
and that if the bondholders had not joined
the Radical party in fighting the Demo
cratic party. when the latter wanted to pay
a much larger amount than is cOntempla-
ted now, the difficulty would long ago have
been settled. 1t is regarded as utterly i'm
possible to consider anything more than
the Riddleberger basis.

What VIII the Society DO with Them

"What doyou think should be done with
the Virginia State Agricultural and Me
chanical Society and its debt Z" a Dispatch
man Yesterday asked MIR. John 7. Branch,
n member of the Executive Committee Of
the society.
am, said he, one of the largest stock
holders in the society. took stock not TO
make money but TO help the city, and |

stock by transferring the property to the
CITY for ninety-nine years, to be used az q

would give the society the free use OF the
property for two weeks in any year they
might wish to hold en- exposition or falr

debts. which is only $4,000 more than the
old society owed when the present oihcers
were elected. While ~lO0OO was spent by
Them in improvements and hetterments, TO

would have put the property perpetnaily
under the control of the city and would
have accomplished all the objects of tho
society and would have been guarantee
that they could never hereafter put mort
gage upon the property for any debt they
might incur; but the touncH thought
proper in their Judgment to refuse any as

was a wise decision.

cation is very much more convenient, and;
second. because our present property VIII
