ing the Secretary to cause an .ex-
animation and survey to be made of
that estuary of the Pasquotank river
in North Carolina, known as Porta-
honk, and its entarnce and from the
bridge to the Pasquotank river with
a view to the improvement of naviga
sion Of said estuary and entrance, and
that so much money as may be necs-
tary for such examination and survey
is authorized to be expended from the
contingent appropriation for surveys
of rivers and harbors. Accompany
ing the bill was a petition signed by
many citizens of Camden county, NC.
stating in that said county there is an
entire township embracing the town
and township known as Shiloh, which
is practically cut off from the markets
of the country: that it embraces the
whole lower portion of Camden coun-
ty and is specially adapted to the
raising of live stock, the cultivation Of
corn, Gotten, rice and peanuts, and
more especially to green produce and
early vegetables. While the northtrn
section ofthe county has outlet through
the Dismal Swamp canal and the ceD>
trial portion by means of Norfolk
Southern railroad the fertile southern
portion though specially favored by
natue, is from 6 to 20 miles distant
from the Pasquotank river. The town
of Shilow is located on Portahonk
river. The people of Shiloh have
survey made of the Portahonk river
at their own expenes They ask that
Portahonk river be made navigable
stream from the Pasquotank river to
the town of Shiloh, distance of three
quarters of a mile, and for the con-
struction of such a harbor as will
afford safe refuge for craft plying AL
bemarle sonnd.
Representative Branch, in the same
connection, submitted written state
ment from Deputy Collector John
stating that six steamers arrive at and
depart from Elizabethe City regularly.
and that the place is the home port of
seventy five vessels that ply in waters
of that section. He alo submitted for
the information of the River and
Harbor Committee copy of the Sur
vey made by the citizens.

Polk to Head The Ticket.

rom the Richmond Times.
WASHINGTON, March 18-The
question of the Third tarty issue is
now practically settled, SO far as it
being determined that the new party
will make fight in North Carolina
President Polk, of the National Ali
ance, left for North Carolina this
morning for the express purpose of
flinging his banner to the breeze and
calling upon his friends tn follow it.
He said before going that he had made
up his mind that further delay was
unwise. He added that split in the
Democratic party of North Carolina
Oh the electoral ticket was inevitable.
at is bound to come" he said, as
many North Carolina Demccrat will
no longer follow that party in nations
la issues" He added that the Democarl
and Alliance might agree upon State
ticket if certain concessions are made
in the platform. but that in presi-
Dental ticket the Democrats and ALI
ance men will travel different roads.
Incidentally M Polk intimated quien
plainly that he expected to head Third
party ticket for President. His ex-
pressions implied that the Third Party
bosses had decided to put him (Polk)
al the head of the ticket rather that
reserve him for second place. 1t was
the plain inference that in return for
this honor he has undertake II to ''split"
the Democracy of North Carolina on
the ELECTORAL ticket. He was very
positive that the Third party would
put an electoral ticket in the field it
North Carolina
The Democrats of the Old North
State here including those who are
members of the Alliance, feel a certain
sense of relief in the positive declara
ton Of Folks position. They say that
the doubt hitherto as to what course
the Third party leaders might essay
in the State has prevented the Democ-
racy from taking positive steps; that
so long as there were reasons to sup
pose that the Third or Peoples party,
as Polk calls it, might not make an

Carolina, the Democratic managers
were left in sort of state uncertainty.
They did not want to adopt any plan
which might provoke opporsition from
men hitherto in accord with the party.
But now that all uncertainty is over
the Democrats will Immediately set
to work to organizing and and prepar-
ing for vigorous contest against all
opponents. President Polk is regared
as the head and front of the offend-
ing. 1t is alleged upon declarations
made by himself that he has under
taken to divide the Democracy of the
South to compensate for promised dis
visions of the Republicans in Northern
States by certain Third party leaders
who have hitherto been Republicans.

will accept any alliance with Polk up.

The Alternative Before the south.
f ION the BROOKLYN Eagle

Does the South want free silver
more than it does not want the force
bill? Then it will adhere to IFS free
silver programme. Then it will not
be able to blame the Northern Dem
ocracy for such result as the oncom>
ing of the force bill. No party can
stand in the Middle and New Eng
land States under such a load as the
free silver bill. No party can run
successfully i'll those States under such
a handicap The South holds the fate
of the force bill in her own hands. As
surely as free silver is by her votes
made the Democratic programme that
surely will the voters in the decisive
Statesrestor Republican supremacy in
Congress and continue Republican in
the Presidency with the result of re-
viving and passing the force bill. The
free silver heresy carries in it negro
supremacy. The South cannot have
one and not have the oth9r. The one
insures the other.

Fight with a Posse In which a Ka-
sor and a shofGun Figured.
WELDON, n. G. March 21-Two
desprate negro criminals were arrested
here this morning on information re
ceived from Rocky Mount that they
we're wanted in that town for house
breaking and larceny. The negroes
gave their names as John Kelly and
Walter Davis, although it is strongly
that they are known by many aliases
Walter Davis, the more desprate of
the twain, resisted arrest, and break
ing away from the officers, made a
for liberty. He was holly pursued
by posse aud finally recaptured two
miles from town. When brought to
bay Davis turned upon his pursuers
with the fury of a lion, and whipped
out razor, commenced to slash right
and left. The razor came in contact
with double barrelled shotgun in the
hands of Officer Roberts and was bro
ken in several pieces.
Davis tnen caught the gun by the
muzzle, and wrenched it from the stock
and bent the barrels. During the
excitement the negro, who was fight
eng near an old Gotten gin, slipped and
fell, stricking his head against sharp
iron instrument, splitting the scalp to
the bone He was knocked senseless
and the officers secured him, binding
him with ropes. When brought to
consciousness the desperate refused to
walk one step and had to be brought
dack to town on the shoulders of four
stout darkeys. DIR. Green was called
in and dressed the wound, which ex-
tended a length of three inches. On
the head of Davis appeared several
old scars, one of them some five or six
inches long. The negro is evidently
one of the very worst criminals.
Chiefof Police Hancock left here with
the prisoners for Rock Mount on the
1890 South-bound train.

Later the Maine Steamship Co. was
formed principally by Portland men, and
a new propeller, the Dirigo, was built
here, and the Franconia and Chesapeake
purchased. The landing was changed to
Galt's wharf, and Henry Fox was the
agent. Still later the company was re-
organized and the Eleanora, a new vessel
purchased. In 1887 the company
launched the Winthrop at Bath, but sold
her two years afterwards and built the
Cottage City, which gave such good sat
isfaction in speed and everything requi-
site to freight and passenger business
that the company had her duplicated in
the Manhattan, which went on the line
last year. These fine ships carry large
numbers of passengers during the sum
mer season, as they touch at Martha S
Vineyard, much visited summer resort.
J. B. Coyle is also the general agent for
this line, and the New York agent for
many years has been Capt. Hall, an old
time Portlander.

of some forty years and strict accuracy
