the Agricultural Bureau, in culling his
statistics, found that Fort Pickering was
the most productive place in the world,
and accordingly instructed the Secretary
of the Treasury to purchase it at any
price. Fortunately the Secretary of the
Treasury remembered that the whole
place had been knocked down to the
Government at tax sale, and immedi-
ately instructed the Collector Of Rev

To The Editor Of the Lsdgsr.l

10 tue Elltof " lns le4kef.l
The writer Of this is gratiGed 10 learn
that the friends Of Hon. Robert X. Heath
propose running him for Probate Judge
at the ensuing election. The writer has
known Judge Heath for thirty years.
He came 10 the bar in Eastern North
Carolina a poor young man, and at a
time when the courts there were attended
by bar Of great eminence and Of great
legal capacity In few years he ranked
among the first lawyers in the State. He
rode the circuits as Judge Of the Superior
Court for nearly ten Year,, and was By
the unanimous verdict OF the lawyers oi
the State pronounced one Of the best and
ablest Judges the State ever had. he
was eminently esteemed for his urbanity,
patience and promptness; but above all
for his honesty, integrity and Impair
TALLY Judge Heath is by tempera-
ment, ability and mental trimming es-
pecially fitted for the bench The Pro
bate Court, under the new organization,
will be a court Of vast impOrtance-more
so than most persons suppose. The
rights and interests of widows and Or
phans are involved in the proper admin
istration Of the functions Of that Court.
Put Judge Heath on that Bench, and IL
will prove the strongest guaranty for the
protection Of the interests Of the widow
and the orphan, and Of all others whose
righis may come before it. Judge Heath
is q modest and unPEeisnding man. He
will not force himself upon public atten.
ton. So much greater is the necessity
for every man who wishes TO maintain
the dignity and respectability Of the
bench 10 exert himself to secure Judge
Heath election. ALBENARLE

COUNTY coNvENTIoN ON MONDAY.

WedeSire 10 REMIND our ieiio"-ciAAens
and to keep reminding them till the day
that on Saturday next delegates are to
be appointed to the County Convention
to be held on Monday next. This con-
vention is to select proper candidates for
the county offices remaining to be filled
at the election in August. We should
like to see great interest manifested, as
it is of the highest importance that every
Office should be filed with proper men.
We have not considered Radicals
proper men, for they are capable
of selling their birthright for a
mess of potGge, and to affiliate
with them is to be tainted with their
leprosy. We want no affiliating mate
rial among our delegates. They should
be men above suspicion, men Of known
probity and discrimination who will in
dictate such candidate as the people will
be delighted to elect, and whom they can,
consistently with their own interests,
elect. What we have copied from the
Appeal in reference to the Judicial Con-
vention, viii apply rs well to this. We
want no dissatisfaction in our ranks
The nominees of the Convention mast
be sustained, or the organization might
as well be disbanded, and everything in
the future be turned over to Radi
calism. to scatter in wild exuber-
ance to the four winds, or
gather up with active hand for selfish
purposes. There are some dozen or
more candidates for Probate Judge, and
as many, if not greater number, who
would accept the sinecHre of County
Register; but they all cannot be elected,
and while the obstinate and self-willed
cannot elect themselves, they may by
contention with friends and cooperation
with the enemy, give the latter an easy
victory. Let every Democrat prepare
himself for the occasion Let the meet
ing on Saturday evening be large and
without boisterousness- We
want a set Of delegates in whom full
can be placed None other

accomplish great work before it.
