Connor, of Wilson has resigned as Judge of the Superior Court of the Third District. His retirement from the bench is much to be regretted the State over. Ho man has ever served more acceptably than Judge Connor. He has all the qualities which go to make an ideal Judge. With profound knowledge of the law, energetic, painstaking, honest and honor- able, impartial and pure, he adorned the position and leaves a reputation as Judge that might be coveted by man. Mr. S. Battle, of Rocky Mount has been appointed by Governor Carr to fill the term of Judge Connor. Mr. Battle is a good lawyer and is directly de- how a Ebb that been distinguished in this He was Senator from his district in the last Legislature. There is no doubt but what he will make a Judge- is of country among the seven hills the eternal city. Another reason given why he is not a suitable personage for this important is that he gave fifty thousand dollars to the Democratic campaign fund last Fall. To make this a potent reason the knowing ones have to- assign a motive and affirm a bar gain between him and Mr. Cleve- land. They are not slow to do this and assert emphatically that he bought his position and in consequence had to have it, or Mr. Cleveland must fly the con- tract. W o dare assert that there is not a man living on the Amer- continent who believes that the President made any deal with Mr. in reference to any appointment in consequence of his liberal contribution to the campaign fund of last year. His record is squarely against before hand as Tammany will probably say if allowed to testify. The races between the English yacht, Valkyrie, and the American yacht Vigilant, has attracted much interest through out -this country and England- The race is for the champion ship and for the Queen's Cup, which has been held by this country a number of years. There will be five races and three of them must be won by the yacht that secures the prize The first trial was made last Thursday, but the breeze died out and the race was declared off. The next trial was made Monday, which went to the and won by the American yacht, which came minutes and seconds ahead. The second race occurred Monday and was also won by the Vigilant, the can yacht this time coming in minutes All the trials will be this week and the outlook is that the cup will continue to re- main in America. has given notice that when the Senate meets to- day he will ask it to sit in session until a vote is taken on the repeal bill that is now be- fore that body. It will be a mat- of physical endurance then to prevent voe, and unless the Senators are a little more inclined to remain in the Senate than they have been of late it will be only a short time before a vote is reach- ed. There are various as to the final result, some believing that this method of reaching a vote will be the death of the bill and others that it is the only way to end the protracted struggle. The Republicans in the body will not feel very much inclined to endure much privation to repeal a -aw which they know they will not held responsible fr whatever action the Senate may take- It is hoped that a compromise may be precipitated and in fact this is very strongly believed now, and this belief is much strengthened by a visit on Saturday from Mr. to the Senate and the conference held between him and prominent of Senate on both s of this question.

There have been hundreds of cases and many deaths, and the plague is still raging. The appeal has gone out for help and it should be given a liberal response. The recent storm and tidal wave along the tide-water sections of Alabama and Louisiana was of extreme severity, and attended great destruction both to lite and property. Between two thousand and three thousand lives were lost, while the damage to property is almost beyond estimation. Along the lowlands adjacent to the gulf and large rivers everything was swept away. I had an interview with Senator Ransom this morning in regard to the outcome of the -liver controversy, lie could not tell, he said, what the result would be. but that a compromise would be effected; that his object had been to the country sound and ample currency Hold, silver, and paper. He was opposed to the ed silver because that would derange the system contemplated by the Democratic when their platform demanded such guards as would keep the currency and its different elements lie wanted to the money that went Into the hands of the people. by limitation idea, that is to put the currency system all choosing the silver that it would hold without which be done only by a judicious limitation of its coinage.

C-, Oct, 1893- President Cleveland's motive in having all his callers state the nature of their business to his private secretary before admitted to his office has been so grossly misrepresented that I present the facts, which So much of the President's time been occupied in listening to the appeals of Congressman and other for offices their friends that he has found it necessary to stay up the greater portion of nearly every night in order to perform his more important duties. order to a stop to this he de- to place the duty of all officials upon the members of his cabinet, he accepting their recommendation as final, and order to save his own time, as well as that of bis callers, those who call at the White House are required to state the nature of their business to private secretary If it be about an appointment the new rule is and they are referred to the member of the cabinet who has jurisdiction of the office wanted; if they are about public business they are at once taken to the President. The change is popular with Congress- men and will strike most people as being a sensible one.

The son is On the day that Baby Esther was born this Congressman was approached by a loudmouthed individual who has made himself by his personal abuse of President because he was turned down by a well known restaurant, which was at the time with prominent public men, and the aforesaid loud-mouthed made a disrespectful re- mark about the baby whose birth had just been announced. The Tammany Congressman walked close up to the man and spat in his face. The coward sneaked off like the cur that he is, and the Congressman was asked why he did not knock him down. he re- marked scornfully. would not dirty my hands with such as Within an hour the incident was reported to the President, and since thou he is never too busy to see that Tammany Congress- man when he calls at the White House. The Tammany Congress- man has, however, asked for the incident, for, as he puts it. do not wish to be re- warded for having done what any good citizen would have insult to the family of the President. The House need not be idle after the vote is taken on the bill for the repeal of the Federal election laws, next week, even if the tardiness of the Senate in disposing of the silver question prevents the recess which Congressman would like to take, particularly those from states in which elections will be held this fall. The substitute for the Geary Chinese law has been favorably reported to the House from the Foreign Commit tee and can be taken up at any time, and the Judiciary Commit- tee has reported the Gates bank- bill to the House- It is probable that the Chinese bill will be given the preference. How much truth there is in the talk among Republicans about the Democratic members of the House committee on Ways and Means being afraid to attack pro- may be inferred from the following remarks made by a Democratic member of that com The new tariff bill will be framed on the lines laid down by the Chicago even if it results in the defeat at the polls of every member of the committee. We shall hew close to the line you rest assured that no matter what else is done it will be found that the tariff bill when it is re- ported will completely ac- cord with the Democratic plat- form. The Republicans who are trying to create a contrary are doing a foolish thing- It is much better that the country should know at once that the high protective duties of the law will be entirely wiped out by the new bill.
