Semi-weekly standard. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1853-18??, 1858-03-03

And we must confess that Ne have no sort of At:
fscton for thing Of cut dried arrangements,
ike that limited at BY the Tribune, when it speaks
nf the getting out of Gov Bragg who, the Tribune
says. was written 40 months beforehand, &C. W.T.
min0ton Journal
The Journal is nistakeu in saying the Tribune
stated that Gov. Brage vas written to months be-
forehand, Sc" The 1Ss6atae, in its article Of the
oath of February, uses osuch language.
Neither did the Tribune g hint = that Gov. Bragg
was nominated in 1854 as the result Of " cut and
dried arrangements" The hint 1.-The chargeby
;ndirecton that this was the case, comes from the
Journal, and not from the Tribune. We have only
to say, and feel it duty to say, that the charge
is unfounded, and is unjust towards both Governor
Bragg and the Senior Editor Of this paper. There
we're no "cut and dried arrangements to nominate
Gov. Bragg IN 1854, but he was freely, fairly and
unanimously nominated as the Democratic candi-
date without any arrangements" by the Senior Ed
itor of the Standard, or any one ese SO far as we
know. He does not, as the journal "hlnts,' owe
his position as Governor of the State to any
"cut-and- dried arrangements" in 1854.
e3y- The attention of our readers is invited to
the Communication of Civis in our paper to-day.
The object of our correspondent is to show, from
Holy Writ, the marked and complete separation
which exists between temporal and spiritual power;
and he has done this in able and impressive man
ner. If this great truth were more fully and more
generally understood than it is in the slavehod-
ing States, and If the conduct Of the people there
were more conforma5le to it, the aggress'ons upon
the rights of shareholders would cease, and good
feeling would soon be restored between the North
and the North.

scrbers the receipt of paper is receipt for the

DEATH OF JUDGE KANE-Hon. John K. Kane,
Judge of the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania, died about o'clock
last evening at his residence, Fern Rock, on Green
lane Twenty-second Ward. He had been suffering
for some days from very severe attack OF pneu-
monia, the fatal termination of which had been an
ticipated by all who attended him. Judge Kane has
so long been prominently before the public not only
by force of his own position, but as the father of
the late DR.. Kane, that his decease deserves more
than the ordinary paragraph notice.
John KNITTING Kane was born IN Philadelphia
about the year 1895. He was son of John Kane,
whose father emigrated from Ireland in the year
1856 His mother was Miss Van RENSSELAER,, of
New York. He was educated at Yale College, and
then studied law in Philadelphia in the Office of the
bs to e on a s6 Of
mong its members as one Of the most promising OF
their number. He was originally Federalist in
politics, but in the Jackson times gave in his ad-
heson to the Democratic Party, and was elected by
them several times to the State Legislature. He
was also at one time their candidate for Mayor and
held, too, for time, the office of City Solicitor
In 1915, he was appointed, by Gov. Skunk, At
torney General Of the State This Office he resigned
in June, 1916. when, on the decease of Judge Ran
dali. of the United States District Court, President
Polk appointed him to fill the vacancy. This office
he continued to hold up to the time of his DEATH
Mrs. Kane, who survives him, WAS Miss Jane Leiper,
descendant of Thomas Leiper, of the Revolution
A daughter and three also survive. The latter
are Col. Thomas L. Kane who is now in California,
R. Patterson Kane, Esq, member of the bar and OF
the Common Council of this city, and DR.. John K.
Kane, who accompanied the searching expedition
sent out in quest of the second Arctic expedition OF
the late DR.. Kane, and who is now in Paris.
Judge Kane was gentleman of fine abilities, a
good lawyer and learned Judge. He was also an
accomplished belles-letre scholar, and adept in
the graceful accomplishments of society. Few men
of our acquaintance were more courtly in manner,
better calculated to impress upon the observer the
idea of perfect gentleman. Whether at the bar
the bench, in political life, or in society," he never
for an instant lost his selfpossession betray-
ed into a rude word a display of temper. He
was member of various artistic and scientific So
cieties such as the Musical Fund Society," the Acad-
envy Of the Fine Arts, and the American Philosoph-
ical Society, and exercised high influence in all of
them. However men may have differed from him on
political questions, there are none that will deny
him the possession of most winning social qualities
and of great firmness and tenacty of purpose in
everything that he undertook Paper.
