The retiring Local Editor of the NEW
APPEAL needs no word of commentator
from his successor. The community
where he has long resided, and is well
known, has just testified to his worth in
q substantial manner. His election on
the 9Th inst, in view of the power Of his
opponent, can not be held as other than
u nigh compliment. ''Majorities vox
lei was inscribed upon the political
banner Of his party. Let our words not
disturb the still ringing echoes of what is
assumed to be the Deity's voice. We
bid the future Judge, God speed on his
path of NEW duties, hoping that his ma
gistracy may be as pleasant and lucrative
as we are assured it will be upright and
wise.
We thank him for the kindly saluta-
tions with which he greeted us in Satur-
DAVIS issue. The article, however, is de-
cidedly puff" and cannot fail of
being recognized as such by those who

1.-Two YOUNG MEN who were schoolmates
in Carson City, New, seven years ago,
says the Ogden (Utahl junction of No
vember 4, met in Centreville last Satur-
day. They had personal difficulty, aud
the younger of the two remarked; when

venge." They came together, after years
of absence, by accident in front of the
Cooperative Store in Centreville when a
fight took place. The younger was bat
tered and bruised, while the other was
carried away by his friends, two of his
nbs being broken. Knives were drawn
by both, and for a time it was feared that
the difficulty would end seriously. One

By private telegram to Jas. Walsh,
of this town, We learn" says the Eureka
Senterel, THAT James Brophy was shot
at Shellburn by Bill Bethards of Ruby
Hill, on Monday evening last. He died
on Tuesday morning. The shooting is
considered entirely unjustifiable. The
telegram states that full particulars will
be sent by mail" This Bill Bethards
will be recognized in our community. as
the man that shot John Sherwood here in
the OId Sdzdrac several years ago while
Tim Smith was sheriff. John Sherwood,
during the brawl, interfered in behalf of
his brother Henry whom Bethards was
after, and was shot dead on the spot.
How Bethards managed to escape the
legitimate consequences of his first crime
seems a mystery. 1t is the universal
hope here that he may suffer the full
penalty of this his second experience in
manslaughter.

PROBABLE REsIGNAT1oN OF Mr.. JUSTICE

that Justice Nelson, of the Supreme
Court, whose poor health and advancing
years have long rendered it doubtful if he
would ever sit in court again, has deter
mined to tender his resignation immedi-
ately after election. In this event he
secures his salary for life. OF course
there is considerable discussion as to his
successor. 1t seems to be conceded that

offered q resolution that the Committee

time for receiving subscriptions shall be
extended 10 at least one hundred and
eighty days from the time Of the open

gress should make an appropriation
and that the Commission would fail in
it's object il Congress does not assist.
A large number Of communications
were received. Mr. Blake, Of Con-
uectcut, presented report Of the pro,
gress made by the Committee on Classl'
fcstion, promising that it was not com

sumed the consideration Of the bill pro-

sumed the consideration Of the bill pro-
viding for ten sloops Of war. .
Mr.. Potter. of New York, contended
that it was not practicable for small
vessels of from four hundred to SIX
hundred tons TO carry ten guns OF the
large calibre. He therefore assumed
that the description Of vessels as given by
the Chairman OF the Naval Committee,
Mr.. Scofeld, was not correct, but that
the statement OF Mr.. Platt, that they
be from 1900 to 1000 tons burden. was
nearer the mark. If 30, such vessels
should not be called small" A 2OOO
tons vessel was not small, but q
large one, and it would require
vessels of that size to carry ten guns
of large calibre. Such vessels could
not be built for anything like the sum
indicated. A commercial vessel OF
1000 tons OF superior quality and OF
high speed, costs in England from
10000 to 98O,0O0, and would cost in
the United States at least $500, 900 and
Such q vessel for war purposes would
cost here from 100000 to 100000.
His information agreed entirely with
the statement OF Mr.. Randall that the
actual cost of the vessels would APP
proach tor each one OF them a million
dollars.

PRoGREss W.. OLD FOGYIs N.

An attempt is being made to nuilify
the will Of the people OF Wheeling ex>
pressed on the lst OF June in relation
to certain proposed railroad subscrip-
tions. The advantages ot railroad
bridge across the OHIO river at this
point and the building of railway to
Sandusky and Toledo and the great
Northwest, were fully discussed in the
newspapers of the city last spring. The
young men of the city; those who are
the rising and future capitalists OF the
place; thoae who feel that an
increase in the prosperity and trade
OF the oty is necessary to their
chance of obtaining wealth; voted
unanimously in favor of the
subscriptions TO the railroad and
the bridge. and, as the result showed,
far outnum hered those who were OPP
posed TO any further progress. Nearly
three 'ourths of the citizens OF Wheel
ing have formally authorized and d.
re",ed the Council to make the proposed
suh-cr ptious OF stock after seeing that
the details are properly arranged and
that the safety of the funds is secured.
1t now mains for the Council to obey
the instructions that have been given
and comply with the public will
Nearly every ward in the city instruct
ed lis representative. to vote for the
construction of the proposed railroad
aud bridge, and will expect its members
in Council to obey its instructions in
this regard.
