MEssRs. EpTroRs:-I concur with you in thinking
your correspondent in the Standard of the 18TH has
made strong showing in favor Of additional Su-
Perior Court circuit and with him in believing mo
fair minded man can object to it." His plan as 2
understand is to take the counties Of Stanly and
Anson from the fifth and annex them to the sixth
circuit still leaving twelve weeks in the former and
to have ten exclusive in the latter. This would
certainly be judicious arrangement as the Pedee
river is often so full in the Spring and Fall as to
make it difficult to cross besides these counties in
their political character belong 10 the West-Anson
and Union, Stanly and Cabarrus forming senatorial
dstrcts-andby by arranging the circuit so that these
counties should not conflict with the times of
holding the courts in Montgomery and Richmond,
there could be no well founded objection to the
change. But your correspondent has done injustice
to the present Judges in proposing to give them q
salary of only two thousand dollars as that is less
than they now receive according to his own show
ing. The seven Judges now get in salary 81 $50,
making in all $1365O, to which should be added the
800 from the twelve counties in the fifth sixth and
seventh circuits making $1,26O-ths added to the
salaries would be $14 210 which sum being divided
between those seven would m Ike two thousand one
hundred and thirty dollars-and as the constitution
interdcts the Legislature from diminishing the sal
aries of the judges during their continuance in of.
ce it would be inconsistent with the constitution
to give them less sum than what they now receive;
besides the sum proposed is clearly inadequate 1t
should not be less than taeo thousand, tco hundred
and tfty dollars, and even this sum would not be
more than equal to the present salary, when first
fixed, the expenses of riding the circuits and bu-
siness has increased at least twenty five per cent
There officers in the service of the State so
badly paid as the circuit Judges. Let me not be
told that gentlemen can be found quite willing to
take it-and so you may get men as overseers for
fifty dollars, but such no farmer would be willing
to employ. 1t is fact that the Presidents of your
Railroads, and even the Superintendent of your
Insane and Deaf and Dumb Assylums, now receive
better pay than your Superior Court Judges. Let
justice be done and the people will not complain.

The writer has had the pleasure of riding on the
Fayetteville and Coafeld Railroad and is pleased to
say he has not been on any road in the State or
elsewhere that surpasses it in material or construc-
tion The crossties are large, very closely and well
laid down, that there is not jar in the cars in
passing over it. The rails are of heavy iron and
well secured and have been finished about ten or
twelve miles. There is a remarkable cut in the
road for fiat country-thirty-s feet deep-and
this for about thousand feet, with banks so firm
and solid to be free from all danger of falling in
The road when completed, promises to be one of
the best in the country. Can there be any doubt
to its completion Pit is to be hoped not. 1t is
not Fayetteville alone but the whole State that is
interested in having the Coalelds tested so that it
may be seen whether the reports as to their
richness be true not. When this shall be made
known, they will doubtless be reached from other
points. What would now be gained in accommoda-
ton to the Legislature and in saving to the State if
there direct communication from the Capitol
to the Fields? That this will be the case in the
of time and it is to be hoped within very
short time there can be no doubt. Fayetteville is

The Wilmington Journal.

The Wilmington Journal of Wednesday, in its
notice of the late Senatorial election says:
In regard to the Senators elect, it may be re-
membcred that months ago common consent appear
ed to assign to Messrs. Clngman and Bragg the
positions to which the Legislature has called them
or at least, it was generally conceded that these
gentlelnenS chances were decidedly superior to
those of any other asprants. 1t appeared all along
to be regarded certain that Mr.. Clingman would
be chosen for the balance of Judge Biggs' term
and as but Senator could be expected to come
from the West that therefore, Mr.. Reid might be
regarded virtually out of the field. Gov. Bragg
regarded as the Eastern counterpose to the eX-
reme Western location of Senator Clingman.
This was the position of things during the most
of the year, or until state of tanglement occurred
about the centre, and opposition feelings and
thoughts and hopes arose. We most sincerely hope
and trust that all unpleasant feelings in the party,
or between members of it at Raleigh or elsewhere,
will pass away with the occasions which excited
them. 10 nouriSh such feelings or to act upon
them, can only result in evil
We are at a loss of know what the Editor means
by the expression opposition feelings and thoughts
and hopes" Does he refer to the "opposition to
Democracy Or to those whose names were used
against Gov. Bragg? So far as the 81 state of tan
clement is concerned zoe are certainly blameless.
We have been all along the victim of this tangle-
ment" Suspected by old friends by whom we had
long Stood and for whom had long labored, of
some connection in some way with the recent course
Of the Warrenton Neus and most anxious then as
now for continued harmony and good feeling we
voluntarily stepped forward and in our Card OF the
18th of October met this suspicion with full ex-
plantations and an earnest and prompt denial What
more could we have done And yet this denial
was not satisfactory in certain quarters, and hence

United States Senators,


On Tuesday last the Hon. Thomas L. Clngman,
of Buncombe, elected by the two Houses of the
General Assembly to fill the unexpred term of the
Hon. Asa Bggs in the Senate of the United States
and the Hon. Thomas Bragg, the incumbent of the
Executive Chair. elected to fill the whole term
of SIX years. commencing the 4th of March,
1859.
Mr.. Clingman appointed by Gov Bragg to
fill the place made vacant by the resignation of
Judge Biggs until the meeting of the General As
sembly; and Gov. Bragg will succeed Gov. Reid the
present Senator whose term will expire on the 4th
of March next
We have heretofore recorded in the most emphatic
terms our approval of Mr.. Clingman's appointment
to the Senate, and we have to add our hearty
concurrence in the action of the party, which places
him in that body during the unexpired term of
Judge Biggs. Western North Carona-we mean
that portion of the State west of the Yadkin and Ca
tawba-has not before had either Governor or a
Senator, since the adoption of the present Constitu
tion in 1885, with the exception of the present Gov
ernor elect The election of Mr.. Clingman is an act
of justice to the West while at the same time it re-
tans in the Senate able and experienced states
man, vigilant and jealous co-operator with the
'loAl DeInoCTatiC party, anu trleu anu lnueAlDle
defender of Southern rights.
Gov. Bragg who has been chosen to fill the long
term, is able and practiced debater and sound
and reliable statesman. He will bring to his duties
small experience in public life, and a firm pur-
pose while true to the vital interests of his native
State to cooperate zealousy with the only national
organization which protect the Constitution from
violation and thus perpetuate the union of the States
Gov. Reid whose term will expire on the 4th of
March, has acquitted himself faithfully in the high
post to which he called four years ago; and he
will carry with him in his retirement the respect and
the best wishes of all true Democrats.
Now that these elections over, and the wishes
of the representatives of the people have been Off
ciay expressed trust that all i'll feeling growing
out of the contest will subside, and that party har
mony will be thoroughly restored. Personal inter
ests and feelings must always be subordnaed to the
good of the party. Personal and private relations
preceding growing out of contests of this sort

keeping of those who personally and privately

which is so dear to all, and to which our highes
