temporary, of critical profundity, literary

lty, and doubtful veracity, says of the
Court in the protesting lawyers case, s'the
arguments of the lawyers are completely
rlddled and their conduct is submitted to a
calm but scattering review" After that the
poor devils of 'ttim hars'' as our facetious
Sheriff is represented as calling them, NAV
as we'll cave in, cry out peccaui, and quit

By the way, is the term ''thim Liars, -

class who have already been made into
Judges, or those who are waiting for the

REMARKARLE.-Du the examination
of the Coroner of Jones Saturday it trans
pired that the Hon. d. D. Colgrove indu-
ced the Coroner to strike off three names
from the jury of inquest over the body of
his brother, Orson r. Colgrove, and sub
shtnte the names of other three parties.
Making all due allowances for the ex-
cltement and bitterness of one, while view
! ing the corpse of a murdered brother, we
do not feel inclined to speak of the con-
duet Of the Honorable Senator from Jones
as we otherwise should; but we do say that
the conduct of the coroner was not only
remarkable but culpable in the highest de-
gree. 1t was not alleged that those set
! aside were incompetent, or in any manner
| disqualified but simply that Mr.. Colgrove
preferred other names upon the jury. No
injury may have resulted, beyond the i'm
prisonment for few weeks of one by
whom the free breeze Of heaven and the
endearments of home were fondly loved !;
but even the slight ~ injury and all the
horror and anxieties of, and all the reali-
ties of an incipient examination for murder
mayhave come fromit. Who can tell, and who
sufficiently express his indignation at this
tampering with jury upon whose verdict
| the liberty, and it may be the life, Of a
citizen depended.-N Berne Jour. Conn.,

News FROM THE FRoNT.-Captain Bosh
CT, of the n. @. D. M, arrived in the city
directly from camp Colgrove on Saturday
afternoon. We are happy to state that the
d. M. are fourishing like a green bay
tree" No enemy has yet made descent
upon the camp, and no arrest of rebels has
yet been made, owing to the fact that the
melish have been strictly confined to camp
since the first arrival A camp of about
seventy-fye negroes has been established
about mile and half from camp Col
grove, acting also as D. NJ, but whether a
line of posts has been organized between
the two camps we are not prepared, with
the information In our possession, to re-
port. r-..
Some OF the boys from Raleigh have
been successful in piscaterial exercise, hav-
ing taken up considerable strings of speck-
led perch, eel and red fins.
We have not yet learned what day
the Captain proposes to return to his CON-
mand; but 1t does not matter, the boys will
draw their two dollars a-day, all the same,
and somebody will have to pay it.

| Curious DECIsIoN.-Two case were tried
at Alamance Superior Court last week,
where three persons sued the n. G. Rail-
road Company for damages sustained by
an explosion of powder slowed in the car
in which they were riding about the close
of the war. Ireland and Duke obtained
| damR9 es-the former for 1900 and the
| latter for $4,000. But the point to which
we direct attention is the decision of Judge
| Tourgee in the case of S. S. Turner, who
also sued for damages. The Judge decid-
ed that inasmuch as Turner was q Con-
federate soldier and on his way to report
for duty at Gen. Johnston's headquarters.
thus violating the law, he was not entitled
to recover damages from q common carri-
err. From this decision the counsel for
Turner appealed to the Supreme Court.

We learn that III. j. 3. Clark of New
bern, at the Term of Alamance Superior
Court, obtained $4,000 damages from the
Raleigh Il CASTOR Railroad for the killing
of his son by collision. Young Clark was
killed at the same time that Mr.. j. J. Ber-
ryhill of this city, lost his life.-Charlotte

RoLD.-A negro man named Payne came
to the post Office last week and asked for
letter. While the postmaster was look
ing, he ran around to the door, jerked out
drawer, and ran off with it, taking a few
dollars in money that were in it, Not yet
captured. Hillsboro' Recorder.
RUMoRED.-We have heard respectable
mention of Gen. Ransom purchasing the
Barracks here and establishing an Episco-
pal Female School. There is not so famous
seat in the State for good schools as
Hillsboro'. In addition to the magnifi-
cent scenery, the healthy water, and other
advantages that nature has given-the
young have before their eyes the very best
society to ensample after.
