We knew the subject of the following
notice intimately from early boyhoOd, and
eau say of a truth that be was one of Gods
noblemeu. We lament his death deeply,
for he was our true friend and true gentle
man in the striotest sence of the term. We
endorse every word of the following notice
which we clip from the Lincoln County
Nes0s, edited by FRANK MCCoRD:
DIED-At the residence of his father in
this place. Thursday, August 9th at about
12 O'Clock, NJ, Mr.. WILLIAM 7. FRENCH,
aged 81 years, 10 months and 25 days.
Having been intimately associated with
the much lamented deceased from early
boyhood, we feel that no one outside of his
own family is better qualified t. speak of
his noble character than ourself We have
been a participant with him in most of the
JOYS and SORROWS of his life-as playmates
in boyhood, pledged friends in early man
hood. comrades in arms, sharing during the
greater part of the late war the same blanket
and all the hardsbips of soldiers life, and
we can say that we never have known him
to be guilty of an uukind or ungenerous
action. A nobler boy, truer man or a
Drawer soldier never lived. The disease of
which he died Consumptioa-was calcu-
lated more than any other to try his patience
aud fortitude, but in his last illness he was
never known to speak harsh word to those
around him, and never forgot his native
politeness up to the last hour. He express
ed himself as not afraid but ready to die
He met death as he had met the enemy on
many battlefield, cheerfuly and brayely.
Why should such as he be afraid to die?
He never in his whole life wilfully wronged
a fellow being, but his whole life has been
made up of noble and generous deeds, and
that man has never been born who was
possessed OF higher sense of honor than he.
When our late national troubles first be-
gan, he, with many others of his State, did
not wish to abandon the government that
he had loved so we'll, and did not consent
to do so until after the proclamation of the
President which forced his State to take a
decided stand with the South, whose cause
be then espoused with all the earnestness of
a true patriot. Well do we remember the
evening when he and ourself shouldered our
napsacks and marched from our homes In
this place, resolved to be soldiers once aud
firm friends to the last. Little thought had
we then that in so short a time it would fall
to our lot to record the death of our noble
comrade, who was as steadfasi and true a
friend as We ever had, and friend TO all
who were worthy Of his friendship.
May the Good One IN His mercy give to
the sorely afflicted father. mother. brothers
and sisters Of the deceased. christina forth
J tude snd grace 70 sustain them 10 this the
great sorrow Of their lives.

The Columbia Herald, referring to the
effort of the Governor, or somebody for
him, to force Chancellor Campbell out of
Office, says:
"We have it currently and confidently
stated on the streets that Judge Campbell
has been supplanted by Major Noah, of this
place. We do not credit the rumor. be-
cause we know that Judge Campbell has
not resigned, and does not intend to resign,
and we do not believe that Major Noah has
so little regard for himself or for public
opinion as to accept position obtained by
such means-a position which would cost
him struggle to obtain, and which no man
can obtain and hold without receiving the
universal contempt of the bar and the peo-
pie. However, we do not believe Major
Noah would take the place even if Brownlow
were fool enough to give it to him.

The National Convention.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. IA, 1890 P. NJ
Mr.. Randall opened the Convention by say
ing: Gentlemen, have to announce thal
the delegates from South Carolina and
Massachusetts, will no" come arm-in-arm
TO this Convention. This announcement
was greeted with great applause. the entire
audience rising to their feet, and the band
playing ''Flag of our Union"
Hon. Jno. a. Hogan stepped upon the
stage when quiet was restored, and propos-
ed three cheers for the thirty-six States oil
the Union-all loyal-which was enthusi-
asticaily given. This was followed by ire
mendous cheers for President Johnson.
The organization of the Convention was
then effected by the election of Gen. J. A
Dix as temporary Chairman.
Messrs. E. D Perrin, of New York, J
+. Coyle. of the District of Columbia, a
R. Potts, of Pennsylvania, ald Jas. R
0brien were then chosen temporary Score
taries.
The announcement of the name Of Gen.
Dix was received with the greatest enthu-
siaem. Gen. Dix said that he received the
honor conferred on him with great pride
and especially recognized the importance Of
the Convention. No body of men have met
on this continent to consider events so mo-
mentous TO the country since 1916. We
are to vindicate and restore the Constitution
which was then framed; to render firm and
indissoluble the Government which ouI
fathers formed and put in operation to de-
fend and maintain it; we are not now living
under such government. Eleven States
have been unrepresented IN Congress-
Tennessee has. at length, been allowed rep
resentation, but ten other States have as
yet no representation in the Legislation Of
the country.

Indrs Underwood Before the Recon.


struction Committee.
The following is given on the authority Of
the Philadelphia Age. as an extract from
the testimony Of John c. Underwood. who
is Judge of the District Court of the United
States for the Eastern District Of Virginia:
@. Could either Jefferson Davis or Robert
E. Lee be convicted of treason in Virginia?
A. Oh, nol-unless you had q packed
jury
@. Could you manage to pack jury
there?
A think it would be very difficult, but
it could be done. I could pack a jury to
convict him.
This sounds like manufactured evidence
and yet il is treated as genuine. The New
York Meas says: When it is remembered
that this is the man In whose court the in
dictmeat against Mr.. Davis was found, and
before whom, according to the record, he
is to be tried, the public will stand aghast
at this disclosure. That the Radicals should
conceive the idea of trying Mr.. Davis by a
packed jury does not surprise US in the
least; that Underwood should offer himself
as a willing tool to carry ont the exeerable
plot is in harmony with his antecedents and
character; but that the Radical majority in
Congress should be willing to put these
facts on record and publish them in an
official document does surprise US. We
are more than surprised--we are astound-
ed -
