Gently, inc oil TO create an additional judicial

- The Senate has agreed to reconsider the
motion rejecting the bill for judicial Circuit.
Itis certain, it seems to us, that the Legislature
ought either to pass the bill, and relieve the public
from having fifteen Counties in the two Western
Circuits, repeal the act of 1886 changing the
pensation of the Judges from $50 the Court to a
salary of $3.50. On some of the Circuits the
Judges do not receive, VIC presume more than sixty
dollars per Circuit
We think there be doubt that the people
of the State expect that at least Circuit
will bc established; and we do not know but pub
lie convenience and the ends of justice would be
better subservcd by creating two new Circuits.

THE WESTERN EXTENSION.

1t will DC seen, bv reference to the Senate pro-
ceedings of Wednesday, that the bill for the extcn
sion of the North Carolina Railroad west from Sal
isbury, has passed that body by vote of twenty
two to sixteen, and was ordered to be engrosscd.
Much praise is due to Mr.. Fisher, the Chairman
of the Committee on Internal improvements for his
labors on this question. He has devoted much of
his time and attextion to il, and with marked sue
cess.
We think it quite certain that the bills for both
the eastern and western extensions will become laws

az The Milton Chronicle does injustice to Mr.
jenkins, Of Warren. That gentleman never ad-
dresses the House without being respectfully lis
tened to- and he has already established at this his
first session, enyiable reputation. The Chronicle
does not like him because he is Democrat. Its tin
whistle attacks upon him amount to nothing. We
commend to Mr.. Editor Evans two things: First, q
respectful silence in relation Democratic members
of the Legislature, to whose course of conduct
and standing he is not fully informed and secondly
the following question: BY what rule of morals or
logic can Know Nothing deny that he is one, and
be at the same time truthful or an honest man?
