Congressional Convention.
Our Democratic friends in the
5th Congressional District should
bear in mind the fact that the
Convention to nominate a candi-date
for Congress, also a candi-date
for Presidential Elector will
meet in the Court House at
Greensboro, at noon on Thursday,
the 5th day of August next.

IIUTI; iK still without a head. The
boaul of comniisHiotierH tlitl not
elect a commissioner at its oiecting
in Haleigh this week. No reason is
assigned lor the postpoaemenl ol
this important duty. The longer i'
is deferred Lhe more caudidatis
there will lie. It was inteuded that
the Department should have a com-missioner
to manage its affairs.
Two months or more have elapsed
since the resignation of commis-sioner
Polk. In the meantime the
cotton worm is playing the d
with our gTeat staple.
It was rumored in Greensboro,
last week that it was the intention
of the Board of Agriculture not to
fill the vacaucy uutil after the fall
elections, and then—a re-election
of the late incumbent would follow.
We tell this just as it was told to
us, and dou't vouch for its correct-ness.
The ltaleigh Observer pays Judge
Merriruon a very distinguished
compliment in naming him as a
member of Hancock's cabinet. The
Observer will have a voice in the
making ol the next cabinet, and its
nomination of Judge Merrimon,
therefore, is no empty compliment.
—Charlotte Observer.
A correspondent of the PATRIOT
writing liom Chicago, was the first
person to suggest the name of
Judge Merrimon lor a seat in the
Cabiuet. The Xcicbernian, and
other papers endorsed the views of
our correspondent. Now, the Ral-eigh
Observer receives credit for
naming the distinguished Ninth
Carolina statesman lor the high
and honorable position of Post
Master General. Is it light f
However, let us all work together/
and elect Hancock first, ami then it
will be time enough to talk about
Cabinet appointments.

The PATRIOT is authorized by a
friend to state that Mr. !). P. Cald-well
ts no? an independent candidate
for the Senate, on the contrary—
while a candidate for the position
he will abide by the action of the
Democratic County Convention,
which meets in this city on the 21st
day ol August.
Gen. Scales will be re-nominat-ed
without opposition in the fifth
district. His congressional career
has been a long and honorable
one. Its initial in the 38th Con-gress
was marked by unusual
activity. After the removal of his
disabilities he was again returned
to Congress, serving in the 43"."d.
44th, 45th and 46th Congresses.
He will be elected to the 47th.—
Charlotte Observer.
Our esteemed contemporary is
right; Gen. Scales will be rc-nominated
without opposition on
the 5th day of August, and he
will be re-elfcled by a Sjandsome
majority on the 2nd day of No-vember
next.
Well informed Democrats esti-mate
that Jarvis will lall behind
Hancock at leastJive thousand rotes.
This is a very significant straw.—
Xortk State.
Yes, a " »ery significant straw."
It is confidently expected that not
less than five thousand Republicans
in North Carolina will vole foi Gen
Hancock on the 2d ol November
next. Let's see: that will give
Hancock about 36,000 majority over
(iarfield in North Caiolina. Jarvis

less than ^0,000 majority. Marl;

Hancock found him on the field, and
tenderly asked the dying youth, for he
was only a boy, if there was anything he
could do for him. -Write to my moth-er,''
said he, "that I died like a soldier."
This the General promptly did. He
wrote to (he young man's mother, inform
in;; her of her son's death, with such
praise of his courage and words of sym-pathy
as were best calculated to soothe
her affliction. That letter be sent to Col
McRae under a flag of truce.

A Beautiful Story of General
Hanoock.
Norfolk Landmark.
Maj Lee's speech at Great Bridge
was undoubtedly a beautiful per
formanoe—the most robust, manly,
nud eloquent address we have ever
heard from him, and we regret that
its literary beauties could not have
been preserved by a stenographer.
Wherever be may be able lo repeat
tt theefiect must be to enhance his
reputation, c d al juld ho be able
himself to teprodnee it vre wisb he
would write it otu. Iu the course
of his noble euology ou Geu Han-cock
he narrated a little incident
which we wish we could repeat in
hi- ;•■ .i gluwiug lauguage, but even
a- . • risk of spoiling it we venture
to repeat It. When Geu. Johnston
eva.ruted tbe Peninsula, and the
V deral troops advanced, two plain
• ... is -.-|,o wi-rs not in the arms
•■ ' • n| at- mood talking modro-
:u!i.\ III to.- highway. Their hearts
*ere sad and heavy witb'n them.
They had seen the last ol 'ir kith
and kin, the last of the Goniederate
battle tlags, and they were tmwed
down with manly sorrow They
were lil'ej, too, with gloom ajiil
appriheusion. They uad known
something of tne war waged by
Butler when he commanded on the
Peninsula, and expected pillage and
fire and sword as their portion.
Thus standing, an officer, evidently
ol rank, rode up and asked them at
lew questions. They were near
a house which Geu Johnston had
recently occupied, and after inquir-ing
how long since the Confederate
leader had left, the unknown officer
observed that the ruined farmers
were iu great distress One trying to
put ou a bold front, and seeing that
the stranger was smoking, drew out
his pipe and tried to light it to show
him how cool and com|Kised he also
could be under calamity ; but the
old mail's hand shook and his eyes
were dim. When the Federal gen-eral
saw this he threw himself Irom
his horse, steadied tbe old man's
pipe, held his own cigar till it was
lighted, and by this homely act re-vealed
his native beuevoleuce. Tbeti
he said : " Gentlemen, go to your
homes, go to work, nod attend to
your own affairs as law-abiding and
peacelul citizens, and no one shall
molest you." That man was Gen
Hancock, and when he performed
this simple act ol kindness he never
dreamed, said Maj. Lee that it
would be narrated to his lellow
citiznnsof tbe South on the author-ity
of oue of those old men, still
surviving, to show his noble nature,
iu such a canvass as the present.
We have spoiled the story in 'he
telling; but its point is not lost,
and great in small things Gen. Han-cock
has proved great in big things
also. Is it a wonder, then, thai the
people can take such a man to tlit .1
hoar's uid give '-ini their love, and
confidence, and admiration?

[Naps(Cal) Record, July 3.]
The largest cherry orchard in this
valley, now in bearing, owned by
W. II. Chapman, and situated one
mile west of the Uourt [louse, is
also the most productive, and can-not
be excelled by any in the State.
The orchard consists of three acres
ot fine, healthy trees, planted twen-ty
feet apart, in a light, loam) nil
very deep soil, in abend t Napa
creek. Many of the trees are li:t. en
years old. The principal varieties
raised aie Biaek Tartariaos, Cigar
raus, and Pontiacs. The former ii
in greater demand as table fruit,
always commanding good prices.
Kor canning purposes the liuu
aeated Bigarreaus and oilier white
varieties are last growing in popn
lariiy. Owing in the favorable lo
cation ol this orchard ihe trees have
yielded abundantly every year but
soe since ii •*« as planted. The crop
this year is larger than in an] pre-vious
season. One bough, thirty
inches long, cut from a Bigarreau
itee yesterday, had 160 cherries
thereon, and tins was but one of
hundreds. Tne oldest trees yield

Population of Our Cities.
[New York 1'iiue-.)
The verdict of the census as to
'Ii imperative growth and pre
tensions ot the chief cities of the
Dnionis now known with substan
tial correctness and completeness.
New York city, ot course, stands
easily first, and la the only one re-quiring
seven figures to express the
total of i's humanity. At a loug
interval after it comes Philadelphia,
which during the last decade grew
nith a growth ncail} equal lo New
York (-4 per cent.), but which in
1880 had uot u\ at rived at the to-tal
reached by New York in 1870.
New Yolk's total is 1,^*00,561, Phil-adelpbia**
842,000, ard Brooklju'e
691,693, a glow ;ii i T the last-named
ol lo per cent. Chicago and St.
Louis have changed places since
1S70. Chicago's population in.
creased 60 per cent,, to 177,000, St.
Louis', increased only L'l per cert,
, r to 375,000, and has consequently
fallen one step in ibe scale. Jios-
!"-, too, lias beaten Baltimore, and
now, with an increase ol I" percent
as against Baltimore's L*.'!. stands
sixth, writ a total oi 352000inhabi-tants.
Baltimore has 330.000 Cin-cinnati
in.ro i -•■•1 us total 19 pel
cent, or lo 255,801, and stands
eighth, as it did ten years ago.
New Orleans ami San Prancisco
show another comparative change.
New Orleans ineie ise I only S per
cent, as against San Francisco's 51
per cent, of gain, and consequently
i' has fallen Irom ninth in 1«70 to
tenth in isso. Its population is
207,328, and San Francisco's is227,-
.'i.>0. Otber six-figured cities, mak-ing
18 in all thus far, are in order,
Washington, Hjo.iKHi; Cleveland,
157.000; Buffalo, 119,000; Newark,
136,000; Milwaukee, 130,000; De-troit,
119.000; Louisville, 112,000:
and Provideuce, 104,000. Among
these i-ighi there have also been
many comparative changes, as will
appear In in the Ordei of 1870, wlneli
was Buffalo, Washington, Newark,
Louisville. Cleveland, Detroit, Mil
waukee, Providence, lliw these
changes resulted is sufficiently ap-parent
from tbe fact thai Washing
ton's increase was 15 percent.;
Cleveland's, 71: Buffalo's, 1*7 ; New-ark's,
30; Milwaukee's, 93; lie
Iron's, 50; Louisville's. II, and
Providence's, 52. In order lo make
tbe comparison of six-figured cities
complete, Ibe claims ol l'ltlsburg
andJerset City, returns from which
are not now ,-.l hand, should doubt-less
be taken into account. Den-ver
(Coll) reports a gam ol till per
cent, which i- entirely exceptional,
and is, ot course, due lo special
well know ii causes. Other notice-ably
large gains are241 percent, at
Minneapolis, 195 al I'awlucket, 112
at Chester, 1"6 al Atlanta, 102 at
Watiibuiy, anil loo at St. Paul,

The mad law, as .Jieuded bj
