JwoRe Brooke Court.

The lengthy evidence in the case of Mr..
Wiley before Chief Justice Pearson aided
by his Associate Justices, Dick and Settle,
together with the proceedings OF the
demonstration, have forbid the publication
for several days of anything pertaining to
Judge Brooks Court.
We have already stated that on Thurs
day last, the question OF contempt on the
part of Kirk, in his neglect to make full
and sufficient return to the writs of hdbeds
corpus. issued by Judge Brooks for the de-
livery of all prisoners at Salisbury, was
ably argued by Messrs. Baily and McCor-
| kle for the respondent, Kirk, and by
Messrs. Merrimon and Graham for the
petitioners, before Judge Brooks in Cham
| bers. The respondent plead that he In
tended no contempt, but his failure to
comply grew out OF the fact that he had
been advised by counsel, that so far as the
prisoners were concerned for whom writs
had been issued by Chief Justice Pearson,
| that said writs were still in force and took
| precedence of Judge Brooks writs. and,
therefore, he Kirk felt compelled to de-
liver them to Judge Pearson. The facts
in this case, which the public know, expose
shameless trickery and partisan manage
ment on the part of the actors, but the
record sustained Kirk. Hence, Judge
Brooks decided, that combining himself to
the simple question of contempt, the only
point to be considered, and making nc
question as to the action Of others, he die
not think the charge of contempt could
lay against G.. w. Kirk.
On yesterday friday before Judge
: Brooks, in Chambers, the motion fol-
bench warrants against Col. G. W. Kirk
1t. Col Burger, Major Yates and others
of Kinks command, restraining them from
: further outrages, was resumed and ably
argued by Gov. Graham and Judge Mer-
, rimon, for the petitioners, and by Messrs
Bailey and McCorkle for the defence.
Judge Brooks was of opinion that he
had a clear right to issue the warrants. HI
granted the warrant for Burger and re
quired him to give bond and ample Sc
curity for $4,000. In the cases Of Kirk ant
others he was disposed to suspend jndg
ment, and the continuance Of the suspen-
> sion would depend entirely upon the fu
ture conduct of Kirk and others. If thei
outrages were repeated the warrants woul
issue.

New Hanover County.

We regret to see a disposition upon the
part OF some people to stir up local and
sectional prejudiees, and to engender feel
ings of hostility against certain counties
and cities. There is too much of this feel
ing in North Carolina, and the efforts Of
the press should be 10 allay it. We there
fore regret that the Editor of the Char
lotte Democrat should not have been gov
erned in regard to the policy ofthe publica-
ton of the following letter by his judgment
rather than Icy his personal feeling for the
author. In preferring to crafty an old
friend at the risk of offending the " gal
liant Conservatives of New Hanover, the
Editor has done our people and county the
grossest injustice

/ wilson has gained 1,074, Chatham 813, Gullford
| $50. Moore 457, Stokes 468. surry $50 making in
all gain of ,073 in those sac counties. Besides
this, many Of the counties north, east, west and
| south came up nobly. In all the counties where
the RAIDS fell short III largo numbers, the Conser-
natives were sure to gain in proportion, except IN
New Hanover Strange to say that in that coun.
ty the RAIDS fell short ,O54 votes, which allowed
New Hanover one OF the finest kind of chances &c
gain q portion of that ,O54 votes, to the sur
prise of every one New Hanover, the elite o
North Carolina, with ali her array of statesmen
and speakers, not only failed TO bag any OF th(
,O54 RAIDS who failed to vote, but actually had no
influence enough to bring out the Conservative

From the Same source from which we COM
piled the above table, and which we have
said was equally open to the writer, We find
that in 1868 GRANTS majority in New
Hanover was 1,678, and that in the late
election Phillips majority was only 8S7, q
clear Conservative gain of 791 votes. This
gain, with that of two members of the
Legislature, we submit, should have been
q sufficient justification of the Conserva-
tives of New Hanover. and full protec
ton from the invidious comparison which
the writer seeks to make between rs and
our gallant friends in Cumberland and
Robeson-a comparison in institutine
which, we are satisfied, he Is not sps-
tanned by them.
It seems singular that writer, who signs
himself "Simple Justice" should compli-
ment Cumberland with her 361 white
registered majority, and Robson with hel
1853 white registered majority, for electine
three Conservatives in each to the Legisla

Messrs. Editors Il wish to call the at
tention of the County Commissioners to
the condition OF the public roads of New
Hanover county. The roads are in most
desperate condition. There is no work
done on them. Go in what direction you
please, you find the roads in bad order.
Why, sir, travelled over a road few days
since, that do not think has been worked
on in ten years. There are mud holes in
it that were there Ten years ago. Some
say there is no law to make hands work on
the roads. If there is any you will obliRe
many of your readers to publish it, There

if it is not found and frightened down pref

STATE REFORM SCHOOL.


The Trustees say in their report that the
financial condition of the institution is sat
isfactory. 1t has god supply of almost
everything necessary and cash balance
in the treasury of 1912 25. The farm has
been well managed and the brickyard has
done well. In the schools many of the
boys have done well but upon some OF
them the labor seems to be almost thrown
away. The Trustees fear the schools may
have been somewhat neglected, but they
trust there will be an improvement in that
respect
The number Of boys in school December
l, 1868, was Ill; committed the past year
80 apprenticed that have returned 4 ;
that have previously escaped, returned ;
whole number during the year 235; whole
number remaining December |, 1869, 1873.
The gain in number for the year is II.
ton since it was opened is 1,l5!. Of the
81 received the past year 20 had intemper-
ate parents, 10 had lost father, 5 lost
mother, 1 had relatives in prison, II had
step parents, 10 were much neglected, 9
were truants, 16 sabbath breakers, and
52-the whole number-were idle, I'M
truthful and profane.
The Superintendent in his report gives
good deal of attention to the business
affairs of the institution. The schools seem
to require more labor, although the Super
intendent thinks that considering the class
of boys with which they have to deal they
do very well. There has been Il change
of Assistant Superintendent. Hon. S. l..
Goodale donated twenty volumes to the
library The sabbath school is prospecting
The expenses of the institution will be
about the same as last year although
$1,000 have been spent in improvements
and repairs. The amount realized from
the farm, brickyard and shops is great
deal more than in previous years. The
receipts from April l, 1869 to November
80, 1869, including a balance in the treas
ury of 81 900. 16 were $22 1882 % ; expen-
ditures for the same time were S2l 1000,
leaving a balance of 1912 %. Measles
and whooping cough prevailed during the
spring and summer, but otherwise the
health of the inmates has been good. The
Physician says the boys have plenty of
food and that which is palatable, healthy
and nutritious.
