THE CASE OF JUDGE KNIGHT.

The movement before the Legis-

KNIGHT from office for incompetency
has taken the whole Blue Ridge
Circuit by surprise. With very fair
legal abiiities--with excellent liter
airy taste and culture ; a good share
of common sense and high stand
ard of integrity-he had proceeded
with the administration of the law,
for number of years, exciting few
murmurs among lawyers and though
opposed in politics to the people, re-
ceiving from them in his judicial ca
pacity nothing but expressions Of
satisfaction. This was our view OF
him and we think the general view
and hence the popular effort to pre-
vent his removal.

SOME GOOD ACCOMPLISHED

The New York Tribune warns the
the Southern people that the only
chance for Grants reelection rests
in the purpose to create strife in the
South and to awaken the loyal senti-
ment of the North, and that paper
advises us, while admitting the good
order prevailing in the limits OF the
south, to be watchful that there shall
be no actual or seeming causeto lend
plausible justification to radical pur-
poses.
We have gained this much
Hitherto the influential presses OF
the North have co operated 10 mis-
representing the South +; now, many
of them, including the Tribune, are
interested in asserting the truth of
our passing history.

assembling of the Louisville Con-
vention, all true democrats will have
ceased their opposition to the Balti-
more nominees and the remainder
have declared in favor Of Grant and
Wilson. and those who inter the last
and "uncertain sound" will be re-
markable neither for numbers or re-
speciality. Hence no danger need
be apprehended from the Straight"
Convention for this body will per,
form the anomalous feat Of disband-
ing before assembling.
Now one word with reference to
democratic duty "under the circum-
stances. The inevitable result of a
refusal or failure Of respectable
number Of democrats to support the
nominees of the party, is the election
of Grant-lhe success of the repub-
lican party proper. Democrats do
not. cannot, desire this result. To
ignore the Convention and its work
| is to ignore party success. The
writer Of this, opposed Greeley until
nominated, that done, our opposi-
ton ended and our feeble efforts
henceforth shall be to secure his
election. Many Straight Outs
arc as self-sacrifcing, and equally as
patriotic to party, and will be found

party success, as

MAJ. CAMPBELL WALLACE

In reply to letter of several
members of the Legislature, in re-
gard to the State Road Lease, gave
his opinion to the effect that "the
rental of $4,000 per month is suf-
ficient is as much as he would be
willing to pay-and is as favo' able
and safe a disposition of the proper
ty as can be made by the State. 1t
is as much as can be expected of
lessees able to maintain its connec
tions and prevent the most serious
inroads on its trade from competing
routes In his opinion the lease
holders will realize handsome profits
from the lease and no. only hold it,
but endeavor to renew it after its
expiry. Such lessees, however, are
entitled to good profits, and in his
Judgment the State would fail to re-
alize from the road under its own
management an equivalent for the
monthly rental they are paying into

THE BUSINESS SEASON.

We are grateful that the reign Of
dull trade" has every appearance
of an end. The grain, root and
cotton crops, rich in possession and
expectation, have already begun to
revive trade and there can be no ra
tional doubt that the approaching
business season will be the most
lively of any since the war. There
will be an immense amount realized
from the farm; and there will be an
immense amount expended in which
every line Of trade, ministering to
the wants of the house or the farm,
will have its adequate share. The
JOURNAL, in common with our Mer-
chants, has suffered from the stagna-
ton of business While its circu-
lation has steadily increased, so that
it now reaches nearly all!the fresides
Of our people, it has recently had the
advertisements of but few of the live
Houses Of our Town. We trust that
all now who do not feel pride in
the business prosperity of Marietta;
or a friendly regard for their only
local medium OF communication with
The people will, at least, appreciate
their interest in having their 5claims
to business properly presented in the
JOURNAL. Let the people know
where they can get, on the best
terms, just what they want.
