and the laws of the Legislature of that

WILL REsIGN.-The Goldsboro Messcn-
ger says !: ''We are pleased to learn that
Judge Thomas, after due reflection, de-
clines holding the Fall Courts. This is as
it should be. The parity and integrity Of
the bench should be maintained at all haZ-
ards and to this end Judge Thomas should
have resigned when he was first nominated
as the candidate for Congress, and before
he ever entered the campaign. But even
now Judge Thomas reflects credit on him
self in declining to hold the courts. We
know not who his successor will be, but
hear the name of Col. Clark most conspic
uously mentioned. Judge Thomas went
to Raleigh today (Monday.) Owing to
these circumstances no Court will be held
at Wilson until another Judgeis appointed,
which Will probably be to morrow.
