A RADICAL JUDGE.-In the discharge O.
public duty we owe the people Of the
State, and eschewing totally all personal Or
partizan objections we might entertain
towards any of the new Superior Court
Judges, recently elected, We urged several
days ago, the propriety of the prompt res.
ignation of those Of them who are really
incompetent to fill the Office, from any
cause. OF course, we did not expect any
of them to take our advice, for the reason
that we knew they would be ready to at
tribute it to our partizan feelings; but our

time by the forelock, before they brought
discredit upon the Office or themselves.
Facts which had then, and which have
since TRANSFERRED, go to show plainly that
one Of the incumbents, ut least, ought to
have taken our advice. His department at
Weldon, as described by the Wilmington
Journal, few days ago, and his still more
recent behavior in this city, which we can
not particularize in these columns, call for
his resignation or his impeachment.
It will be seen, by reference to the House
proceedings, on Saturday, that an invest

STILL ExCEL1NG.- Mr.. r. Z. Brown, OF
this place, who was so successful in wheat
raising last year, reports splendid result
for the present season-one hundred bush
els on five acres. 1t was raised on rath-
er inferior piece of land. Treatment-deep
and thorough blowing careful narrowing
and liberal use of stable manure on the
thin parts.
Ten acres of the sane kind of land, adj
joining Mr.. BIS lot, yielded less than 80
bushels; and several other lots, adjoining,
did but little better.
The wheat crop of this section, accord
ing to the reports we have had, will scarce
ly average half crop.

"Lo1L LEGISLATOR Mr.. Blythe, of
Henderson, after having for several ses-
sions illuminated the opposite wing of the
Capitol, has transferred his effulgence, IN
der the new regime, to the Senate Cham
Der. He claims, we believe, to be more
intensely 'loir' than any one else, and in
few remarks, when the Howard Amend
ment was under consideration, on Thurs
day, Phariseeized in that line for himself
and his Radical confreres, considerably
We wish to post the Senate as to little
matter OF history in connection with Mr..
Blythe.
In the Legislature of 1866 '66, Mr.. Blythe
In one OF those nasal Jeremaids for which
ne is conspicuous, complained bitterly that
he and other ''Union" men were persecu-
ted In the West. A Committee was at once
instituted to investigate the allegation, and
Mr. Blythe was summoned to appear be-
fore it. When asked to define what he
meant by being 'persecuted," his answer
was: "Being dccuSedof icing in faroy of ne
gro su!frdge!"'-Raleigh Sentinel
ANOTHER HOUSE BURNING.-We regret to
learn that the smoke house of EIr Thomas
Baily, of this county, was, as is believed,
robbed and then fired, on Wednesday night
last, destroying quantity of bacon, lard,
honey, &c. No discovery has been made
OF the perpetrators.-Raleig Sentinel.
