B<25- At the recent term of Pasquotank Superior
Court (Judge Saunders presiding) DIR. Thos w.
Cpchurch was tried for killing John D. Bailey.
AS the killing was accidental, the case was given
to the Jury without argument, and the prisoner
was acquitted. We merely mention the case for
the purpose of giving the following statement of
an incident which occurred during the trial, as
lated by the Elizabeth City paper, published where
the trial took place:
"An incident occurred during the progress of
the trial that struck rather novel procedure
After the examination of two witnesses the Solci-
ter remarked that he had no further testimony to
submit. The Judge (Saunders) asked Mr. Hines
if he did not intend to introduce Dr. Shannon
house. Mr. II. replied Il have made out the case
and am satisfied" His Honor thcreupon said of
you do not examine him WILL" and accordingly
caused DR. Shannonhouse to be sworn and examin-
ed. Q"erc: Has Judge sitting upon the bench
the right to compel the introduction of witnesses
either on side the other, against the wishes
of counsel? We know that the Judge decides
upon the odmissiGlity of evidence, but were not
aware before that he had right at his own cleo
ton and in defiance of counsel to call witness
upon the stand, and have him sworn and exam

Gov. Ellis chairman) appointed to invite President
Buchanan, Hon Jacob Thompson, and other friends
of the President who may be disposed to attend,
to visit the State and be present at the Commence

The Trustees have instructed their Secretary to
subscribe 100000 in the stock of the Bank of N.
Carolina. The Standard says ''the Board seemed to
entertain the opinion that the right is reserved in
the charter to the Trustees to subscribe as much
as two hundred thousand dollars, and that indivd-
ual subscriptions cannot affect this right thus re-
served; but it was thought best to subscribe but
one hundred thousand at this time. The further
and final subscription will be considered and deter
mined on at future meeting of the Board"

WHAT S IN \ NAME! or rather, what's the use
of changing name? An onion by any other
would smell as bad, it is true; but then its
peculiar taste could only be described in an ar
rangement ofletters to spell ''o-ni-on" 1t is just
so with that compound Of heterogeneous isms
which has been properly dubbed the ''Opposition."
We are opposed, therefore, to changing the name
to that of "Imposition;" as they may continue to
oppose but never again impose false doctrine
upon the people, as they did in 1910.
"Opposition is their proper name-It has
been their principle and rule both of faith and
practice, for many years. When, in 1912, war
found to be inevitable in order to test Great
Britains right to exercise exclusive supremacy
over the high seas and : CHI american vessels,
this same party OPposcd When the democratic
party purchased Florida from Spain, they opposed.
When Louisiana was purchased from France, they
opposed. When it was proposed to annex Texas
to the United States, they opposed. When, to
vindicate our national honor, and secure indcmn-
ty for the past and security for the future, Mexico
was chastScd and valuable territory acquired, the
opposition said it was Folks unholy war, and they
opposed it. And now, when it is found more than
necessary in order to maintain the ascend
ancy of the States Rights Party in Congress, that
Democratic Representatives should be reelected,
this same party is opposed

But the watch slept on his post and the pro-
