THE MORTON CASE.
THE STOLEN PROPERTY IS RECOVERED
AND RETURNED TO Mr.. TAYLOR.
h. Morton Gone up to the Hotel de Powers
to Spend the Summer.
He Acknowledges Himself Badly Sold in
this Reporter, but Admits the
Truth of Our Report.

Mr.. j. NJ. Morton, of whose exploits III
| the Handy Andy line we yesterdaymorn
ing gave a full account" as the news
boys say, was yesterday brought before
SQUIRE Griffith on charge Of robbing Mr..
Tavlor's room. or office, of certain speci-
fed articles, and. after a patient hearing,
the Squire sent his case to the next term
Of the Criminal Court, fixing his at
$1,000, with good and sufficient security:
This Mr.. Morton was not able toglYe, ana
HAYWOOD county was thus robbed OF all
chances Of having his valuable services as
Superintendent Of Public instruction, for
two remorseless deputy constables
marched him of up to the Hotel de Pow
ers. in double quick time.
We were in error yesterday morning as
to n or two points in our narrative OF
Mr.. Morton's detection n arrest, which
we desire to correct. The arrest was not
made by detectives McCune and Hast
ings, but by private Waterman Dan Gala
han, n of the most jealous and faithful
men of that class in this city. Dan saw
the scamp prOwling around, and suspect
ing some devilment, "snatched" him
and afterward turned him over to Officer
Kuhnholtz, who took him down 70 the
statiOnhouse and locked him up. This is
the second time that we have unintention-
ally done Mr.. Callahan an iBjustice-the
other time being in u account of the fire
II MaZZOrdtlS restaurant. lie II was VINO
discovered the flames and subdued them
before the parties to whom we gave the
credit ever heard of the fire.
a COPY of the APPEAL was handed Mr..
Morton yesterday morning early, and our
report of his affair - pointed out to him.
He read it in silence and anlazement-his
only remark being "Good GOdi how l
was taken in" He told Callahan that
every word Of il was true. On being
asked what possessed him 10 betray him
self in such a tanner, he answered that
we had thrown him a sign on entering by
which he took Us to belong to the Loyal
League.
The most curious part Of the whole az
fair is the recovery Of Mr.. Tayfor's watch,
which was accomplished by Officer Orr,
Thursday night. He found it at the
" ~peaceable. quiet, orderly and respectable
saloon (Uide the APPEALS report Of the
Council proceedings, Thursday morning)
OF Joe Lusher. The story as told to us is,
that & negro named Billy Watts came to.
Lusher a few hours after the robbery was
committed and left a gold watch with him.
Lusher took it in charge, but did not have
il long before Watts came back with Off
Ger Orr and got the watch. This was clio
tied in the examination before Squire
Griffith Yesterday, and there was not q
particle of testimony to show that Morton
ever had heard of the Wstch. We are GU
rious TO know why Watts Is not arrested.

NIcoLsoN PAVEMENT.


The communication of Aldermen " in
Fridays APPEAL, is one devoted chiefly
to " glittering generalities." The writer,
however. after much flourish Of trumpets,
settles down TO high privates half way
through his article, and his real point,
No. /, is, instead Of being ~HHri}liHI "a
take the loan Of bonds, they pctitiOHed JOT
and fought hard 10 get them"
Wilany person having knowledge ofthe
facts deny that we tried to get these bonds
as a payment and not as a loan, and that
the Board, in executive session, refused
10 paw and compelled US 10 change our
application and ask for a loan, which We
Yes it is true that after we had tried
hard to get pay OF the city and could not,
we accepted as a loan a small part Of what
was due US as 2 payment.
And again, the writer thinks we have
expressed too much confidence in the
strength of proposition before the
Board. II IS u fair for him to know of
the faith that Is in us, and this is il: We
were told that a certain Alderman and
the writer Of the communication in the
APPEAL is ambitious 10 serve the public
in ell vacant places of public trust, but
especially in the capacity Of Mayor; and,
as the proof of his qualification for the
office, he Is latterlv exhibiting a wonder
full amount of fidelity to the city by his
opposition 70 everything-and that his
greatest delight is in opposing the rdOle
Board, Tor this can be made the occasion
of showing the public That he is equal TO
all the balance OF the Board. Nineteen to
one forms a marked contrast And hence
We watched the movements of this
champion, and when we saw that
he was fairly and squarely com
mittcd against Us, we concluded that
most ifnot all of the rest of the Board
were in our favor on the proposition, and
and believed il to be the best thing for the
city. VIII this be accepted as a sufficient
apology for using the words in our COM
munication, " small minority who have
not fully and candidly examined the sub
iOct in al its b~sarings?"
But there is another point we desire to
notice. We have understood that a Board
Of Aldermen, like all dignihed bodies, sat
TO act impartially and TO deal justly be-
tween the city and the citizen; that they
sat "tO hear and determine" But here
is a case where the Judge leaves his bench
for the position of Advocate. We look for
him to take another step and occupy the
witness stand. He viii not wait to
hear patiently, and then determine,
he determines before hearing, and
then, not content with expressing his pre-
judged opinions, he avails himself of the
press, and by advertising the views of an
" Alderman, A" seeks 10 forestall and man
ufacture a public opinion, that that public
opinion may conform TO the decision he
proposes to render. "Oh most righteous

"A man named Hood killed a negro
named Jackson who was working for him,
near Shelby Depot ON Monday last. The
details of the affair show both parties to
have been much TO blame, although
Hood was examined and honOrably dis
charged the next day.
Nancy Connors got hard up n few
days z and inyeigled a gentleman into
lending her a small sum of money, which
she pocketed and made off. He had her
arrested on charge of obtaining money
under false pretenses.
Charles Boyd, the negro who muir
dered the negro woman Mary Kellis, was
arrested Yesterday morning. and con-
fined in the First District station. His
examination was postponed until Monday
on account of the absence of important
witnesses.
Two indiViduals-one white and the
other black-paid twenty-five dollars.

q patient hearing of the ease the Squire
sent him up, in default of $1,000, 10 answer
at the mex term of the Criminal Court.
We understand a writ of habeas corpus
will be applied for to-day.
Most persons have experienced the
difficulty of taking old puttysout OF win
dow frames. We have seen glaziers spend |
whole days cleaning two or three sash,
and preparing them for reglazing. A little |
knowledge of chemistry, however, shows
an easy, simple way of removing theI
hardest putty in q very few minutes. A
small eamel's hair pencil, dipped in nitric
or muriatic acid, is the only tool neces-
sary. The putty, thus aHnointed, soon
becomes soft enough 70 take it ont with
the fingers.
Mamie Phillips and Jennie White,
two negro wenches, whose complexion
powdered charcoal would improve, got on
rampage yesterday, and Jennie ever
lastingly went for Mamie, taking enough
wool from ner head to stuff a sofa. The
gentle Mamie, as soon as She could pet |
away, put for Squire Griffith's, and got
put a warrant for Jennie, making is re-
turnable at Squire Black. During the ar

IF. Harris. theeol0red Democratic orator,
and Mamie by Dewitte Stearns. During

Squire Black decided in favor of Harris.
This eRraged Stearns, and he told the [

Judge replied by calling Stearns
