occupy a good deal of our space with two drtins delivered last week at Raleigh by Chief JuMicc Waitc.of the U.S. Supreme Court. They ircrery imprtant to tax-payers of North Carolina, ami reluvcH tht-m of 'apprehension of being forced to pay the swindling Bonds known as Special-tax Honda, which Bonds were scattered by Railroad managers jiwt after the appropriations were made. The decision of the Court that the State must make provision for paying the interest on the N. ('.

H-iilroad construction Bonds, ($3,000,000 of which were issued) or forfeit its stock to wile, is a proper one according to the terms of the contract made with persons who bought the N. C. R. R. ((instruction Bonds.

instead of levying a tax to pay the interest due the Bondholders, we are in favor of surrendering thf State's ock in liquidation of the debt, and in that way paying about cents on the dollar. The lawyers in attendance on the Court were much pleased with the conduct and general deportment of Judge Waite, and his decision are con-iuVml just anil fair and proper. tw fg He tender thanks to Mr Geo.

C. Ke I ffVV.flt W1 I xuc uauvass. From all the counties in this Judicial District we hear eucouragin news for the Conservative nomi nee, Mr Schenck. The contest being as erery sible man knows, between Lognn and ScUenck, no true conservative will long hesitate about making a choice and giving a cordial support to the nominee. We believe the white men of the District with but few exceptions, will vote for Mr 8chenck on the day of election.

In view of the attempt that will be made to force white and black children into the game school, and make white and black iieople sit together in the same churches and eat at the same Hotel tables, (according to the provisions of the so-called Civil Rights BilQ all the respectable white people of thi section are lieginning to see the importance of having Mr Schenck elected Judge in place of Mr Logan. They know that Logan would decide in favor of the negro every time, and they know that every vote given for Hoke is that much for Logan. It is expected that every respectable lawyer in the District will speak and work for Mr Schenck from now until the day of election, and on that day vote for him, excepting, of course, Mr Hoke the independent candidate. No one expects him to work for Schenck as he would be satisfied with the election of Iogan; but tax-payers do expect the balance of the lawyers to help secure Mr Schenck election inasmuch a they have frequently denounced Logan as incompetent. No dodging in this contest The great mass of the white people are all right' Logan Is the representative of the negro party Schenck 1 the representative of the white man.

Hoke is not counted in the race, for he has no claims on any party. Wc can truly say that we have no personal feeling in the matter. As a citizen of the District, all we want is the election of some one in the place of Judge Logan. If Hoke, or Shipp, had been the conservative nominee we would have done all we could for him, as we are now doing for Mr Schenck, without regard to personal preferences or feeling. In a pecuniary point of view it makes no difference with the "Charlotte Democrat" who is elected.

Thc paper is not dependent on office-holders or candidates of any sort. The Evils of Example. It is said that the Republicans of Mecklenburg county (mostly negroes) held a connty convention at a colored church in this city on Saturday last, with closed doors.

If eleQted, I desire to assume' the office free from all obligations to party or sect, that I may be able the more easily to hold the scales of justice evenly balanced. Thos. J.

(ExVctrl otic cmdcmij UaUoiti, jMM, Terribla Railroad Accident On Wednesday moruine, the 17th terrible accident occurred on the Eastern Division of the Carolina Central Railway. On that morning a long train started a few miles this side of Wadesboro with a large number of excursionists for Wilmington. Not long after starting, say about 8 o'clock in the morning, when four miles east of Lilesville, in Anson county, the train ran Into a culvert which had been washed out the night before, and the Engine, Tender and four or five cars smashed to pieces.

The Engineer, John Oalvin, and three colored train hands were killed, and Conductor Wooten, and the Mail Agent, Mr Sinclair, the Express Agent, Mr Alderman, and" several others badly wounded by broken legs, Col. Fremont, the Chief Superintendent of the Road, says "This is our first accident, and the worst I have had in twenty years Railroad service." Under date of June 18th, at the wreck, the Superintendent writes to the Wilmington Journal as follows 'Thc wounded are all doinaj well, as reported to me. Messrs Huntley and Sinclair, thc most seriously, ounded of the survivors, are reported better this morning. All has been done that could be done for the wounded. The track will be cleared up to-day.

and trains will pass regularly to-morroWi The cause of the accident was the most terrific ram storm ever known- here. Six inches of rain is said to have fallen in about three or tour hours. The culvert was in good order, and so far as I can see is so now. The rain fell in such torrents that it choked thc culverts, and the water apparently rose so high that it soaked through the bank and finally broke it. All this work of construction was done in 1860 or 18G7, and the bank is hard and solid all about the culverts, and has stood perhaps a thousand rains before.

As the rails were not carried away with the bank, but remained suspended with cross-ties hanging in place, and the break in the bank not being longer than the engine and tender, the engineer saw nothing wrong until he was upon it. Besides this, it is at the end of a cut and curve that prevented it from being seen until within two hundred feet. Trinity College Commencement. We learn from Rev. Ira T.

Uishop Keener sermorn was strong, sensible and spiritual very appropiate to the times and the occasion well calculated to impress and improve all who heard it specially the young men. The address of Rev. Dr. Wilson was strictly a Literary address opening up a broad and beautiful field of thought and truth showing in its range and reach a mind familiar with the facts and figures in its wide domain where he had often roamed and gathered its flowers and its fruits.

Thc Juniors acquitted themselves to the admiration of all. The crowd was very large on commencement day. Intelligence, grace and beauty gathered to enjoy the rich treat prepared by the graduating class. The young gentlemen all acquitted themselves well and showed that they had "been well instructed in thought, language, utterance and gesture. Some of them' were specially fine.

There were thirteen graduates. The medals were presented by Maj. Arm field and the Bibles by Bishop Keener. The degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon Rev. N.

Sheriff Holt of Johnston county, arrived in this city Thursday morning to receive the con demned prisoners, David Collins and Alexander Rlalock. to take them to their place of execution the jail yard enclosure at Smit hfiel.l. The execution was appointed for between the hours of 12 and 2 o'clock, and every preparation was made for the event. Sheriff Holt applied to the jailor for the prisoners, when he was informed that a message had been sent to him by J. B.

Neathery, the Governor's Private Secretary, to wait an official document in regard to the prisoners, that would be handed to him at 12 o'clock. At the" stated time Sheriff Holt received the official announcement that the Governor had commuted the sentence of the prisoners to imprisonment for life in thc penitentiary at hard labor. Raleigh News. A glut of Labor ix Nkw Yokk. The bricklayers and laborers who have clamored for more wages, had no better luck than the coopers and stage-drivers.

They could not have chosen a more unfortunate moment for their experiment. The trade has not been so dull in many years thousands of competitors stand ready to seize the trowel and hod at a moment's notice there is a'glut of cheap labor inasmuch as the half-starved Italians are willing to work for a dollar less a day, and the employers for once are the masters of the trades" unions.

The Judicial Campaign. The friends of Col. Hoke are evidently uneasy and disturbed about their position. Thev evince a most intemperate anxiety to justify their course by i tttipmnttilA tA IMi imAn aftfOii. fplMlfd the blame for the so-called "widening and deepening dissension among thc ranks of the voters" of thc 9th Judicial District.

With vehement self-styled patriotism thev vent their spleen, and disguise their petty, spiteful "personal enmity by speciously pretending a disinterested zeal for the public gfod. The reasons offered to the people by these malcontents for their defection from party nominations are simply ridiculous. One says "bchenck is not the exponent of the party, though he was the choice of a decided majority because, forsooth, a few men left the convention and failed to participate in the nominations." But he does not say who is the party e-xponent, and purposely fails to assign a reason for the unauthorized action of those who withdrew from the nominations. An impartial observer might, without serious error, that the same dissatisfied spirit who troubled the waters at Shelby also advised a rupture at Lincolnton, and that all these actings and doings were deliberately planned with thc design and for the purpose of casting a shadow to conceal the real nakedness of future Independent candidates. With equal safety it might also be supposed that the same prudential consideration prevented many names from being brought before the Judicial convention.

For there are some who foolishly think the mere fact that a man's name is not taken into nominating convention, gives him right to a self-appointed Independent candidacy. This is merely the artful dodging of a tr icily politician whose scheming has been thwarted. But our disaffected friends once more return to the attack, and, affirming that Schenck has many 'enemies, naively inquire "Why then did a majority of the convention force his name on the party Did they expect his enemies to support him Is this the boasted patriotism of these people The true patriot i3 ever ready and willing to yield his personal preferences and forget his private quarrels when the welfare and safety of the community demands such sacrifices. Mr Schenck was the choice of his party by a coitmiderabU majority, and was entitled to the nomi-nation as a matter of right. It is therefore the patriotic duty of ihcfeio to lay aside their individual prejudice and to give to the party nominations their full support.

Did it never occur to Mr Schenck's enemies that their favorites possibly would meet with a like opposition for similar reasons? These independent men persistently strive to divert the public mind from the important questions presented in this Judicial contest, and to forget and neglect the great interests involved, by repeated cries of "fraud," "dissension," and other bugalmos prepared for the occasion. The people, however, do not regard the cries of these interested alarmists. They know full well that the very men who raise the alarm are the sowers of strife and stirrers up of sedition. Men know by experience that opposition of any kind without organization is vain and futile, and that there can be no organization without leaders. The Independent candidates themselves laid the "dissension and determined opposition," giving it tlic little form and strength it possesses, and upon their shoulders will rest the blaine if the conservative cause sustains a defeat in this Judicial District.

If the people knew the true origin of Independent candidates, their worth could be very easily estimated. It is said of Gen. Lee that (such was the gentleness of his nature) in giving orders to charge the enemy, he invariably called the Yankees "Those people." The earnest solicitations, by which men are induced to become independent, people's candidates, usually come, we verily believe, from those people who are enemies of the Democratic-Conservative party and the men who yield to thc gentle entreaties and pnrsuasive promises of such people, should have the manjiness to acknowledge their aflilialions. The lion's skin could not conceal the ass's ears, and even if it had, the donkey would have been betrnyed by his voice. We confess with shame that the learning, dignity arid integrity of the Judiciary has been degraded and disgraced by stupid ignorance and foul corrup-'tion we blushinglj admit the delay of Justice, the accumulation of litigation and burdensome taxes, caused by incompetent Judges; and yet in full view of these terrible evils.

Independent candidates will endanger our cause and assist iu continuing the same deplorable state of atftirs. Let the people not disorganize with these Independents to their own ruin but, remembering the true issue of Ignorance and Corruption on the one side, and on tue other Intelligence and Virtue, rise as one man in their might and secure a triumphant victory over disorganizing Independents and incompetent Radicals.
