The wing papers have good deal to say of late
on the subject of renegade wings who have gone

CAswELL SUPERIOR Court. The trial of Joseph
Williams for the murder of his father Francis Will
liams has been removed to the County If Person,
and will off during the next week. as the court
will commence on Monday. Much interest has been
felt in the trial of this cause, that unusually
large number of persons at Yanceyville on
Tuesday; but owing to the volumnousness of the
testimony and delay in getting many of the witness
es from Virginia, the Solicitor was unable to lay the
indictment before the Grand jury, earlier than Wed
nesday. They returned a true bill on the same day
against Williams, and the negro charged accesso-
ny to the late murder. The prisoners were brought
into the court room and after the reading of the in
dictment severaly pleaded mot guilty" The coun-
sci for Joseph Williams then offered his affidavit for
the removal of the and upon the suggestion of
the Solicitor for the State the county of Person
selected by Judge Manly. Williams dressed
with great care and exhibited no sign of sadness,
anxiety or excitement. His counsel are Messrs
Morehead, Hill and MeGehee and he will be prose
cuted by Gen. jones' Solicitor, and Edwin G. Reade,
Esq DGncils Republican.

DoCKEEY 1885 1854. In the accounts of
Gen. Dockerys speeches in the East, which we have
seen i'll Wing papers, the General is represented
denouncing the plan of amending the constitution
by Legislative enactment, anti-Rcpublican and
wrong. He declared at Ncwbern that he was OPP
ing the constitution. That as the constitution was
an instrument emanating from the people it was too
sacred to be touched only by the people.
Cen Dockery has, perhaps, forgotten in his new
ing this anti Republican feature in the constitution
Those of our readers who have copy of the Jour
nal of the Convention of 1885, will find page 1922
ofthat precious little volume, that Gen. Dockery
voted for Incorporating into the constitution the plan
of amending that instrument by Legislative enact
ment. Does it become the General now to denouIce
the work of his own hands in 1885 as anti-Repub-
can? Take care General, if you go on in this way
you will demolish yourself before Bragg can open
his batteries you. AsheriIe Neus.

something like dozen votas-if Mr.. Edwards had

its defeat When Mr.. Bragg come to reply, however,
he showed that every democratic member of the SEN

whereas there some 16 wing senators who
of Speaker gave Mr.. Edwards so much influence,

LET IT BE REMEMBERED that at Carthage, on the
18th inst, Gen. Dockery, in response to question
put to him by Mr.. Bragg, admitted that there was
probability Of getting any portion IF the public
landa for North Carolina. Now we understand
that in the Eastern portion of the State Gen. d.
urged objection to the democratic policy, that
the State going largely into internal improvements
1t would be necessary, if the democrats held the
reins of the State Government, to raise an immense
sum of money annually, 100000, to pay the debt
which it would be necessary to contract in order to
extend the Central Railroad East and West II,
however, the wing party in power, their plan
was to get enough by distribution of the proceeds
Of the public lands to pay the interest the debt
But if there be no probability of getting the pub
lie lands as Gen. d. admits, how will he and his
party pay off this enormous debt which they pro-
pose to incur? Will they not be compelled, Just as
the democrats would be, to look to taxation and the
dividends on the States stock in works of internal
improvements. for the means Of meeting this annual
expenditure? What then to think of this
hobby of distribution? 1t is by their own admis-
sion an inapractieable scheme? Their adrocacy Of
1t IS not based upon any hope Of its SUCCESS but upon
the hope Of catching rotes Let the people note this
thng-let them understand and know the duplicity
of the wing tactics That is all we desire upon this
subject. Fayetteville Car0Iinidn.

DEMOCRATIC COUNTIES. There is but one thing
endangers the success of the Democratic party in
electing majority in the next Legislature and that
is the running of too many candidates in the coun-
ties undoubtedly Democratic, thereby permitting
Wings, who are always on the watch for such ad-
yantages to slip in minorites. In counties where
the contest is close prudence will prevent the run
ming of too many candidates; but where there are
large maorties there apt to be several aspirants
and defeat may be found in over-confidence.
In view of the Importance of the next Legislature,
we hope all personal aspirations will be sacrificed for
tho sake of principles, and that only many candi
dates will be run as can be elected. Where differ
ences cannot be otherwise reconcied let Conventions
be held and nominations made and then let the par
ty rally to these nominees and elect them. Organi
zation stands next to principles in Importance and
both are necessary to success. How will three or
four or half dozen candidates feel after the cleo
ton, to find themselves all left at home and Whir
elected by discussions in their ranks, caused by too
many aspirants? We trust that such calamitcs will
be avoided. Let our motto continue to be, "Prin-
ciples, not men, and our success is certain
