The Courthouse Question,

At the meeting of the board of
supervisors, on Monday last, a very
important question was brought be-
fore the board by the petition of a.
large number of citizens to remove
the location for the building of the
courthouse from the lot fronting the
jail to the lot now used by the
Baptist church. Speeches were
made upon both sides of the question
by interested parties and the matter
duly canvassed-the question mar
rowing itself down to a local ono in
this town, between property holders,
with the advantages claimed upon
either side tor the respective loca-
tons. The board unanimously de-
cided to let the location remain as
it was, much to the disappointment
Of those who favored the change.
An abundance Of gas was ex-
ploded sufficient to eight up" the
building, free of cost to the county,
for a few years to come, if it could
only have been retained or solid
enough to ignite, but it has has van
ished into thin air, never more. to
create another noise.
The board adjourned the day of
meeting after transacting some
important county business, which
will be seen in published copy Of
their proceedings.

Hon. John Kerr 1: .133<o i--.r -e..''5
have just received your letter of the
4th instant, advising me officially, that
had been nominated by the Democratic
Conservative Convention at Greensboro as
a candidate for Attorney General. take
this occasion to express my grateful ac-
acknowledgements to the Convention for the
very hattering manner in which the nomi-
nation was made, and to say that L fully
endorse the platform adopted on that occa-
sion.. We cannot be much in earnest in
carrying on the good work commenced in
1870. If the Democratic Conservative
party has not accomplished everything, it
has done much in the way of retrench-
ment and reform n-.. e.. s.s q
With the distinguished leader selected
Dy the Convention to bear our standard in
this contest, believe we will gain a tri-
umphant victory over the enemies of civil
Liberty aud constitutional law. So far as
L can, consistently with my dulles at the
capital, WIN contribute my aid to the sue
cess of the cause. With many thanks for
the hattering manner in which you haze
conveyed the information, / viii simply add

nope that our efforts to redeem the good

GRANT TO BE SACRIFICED.
BLAINE AND WILSON THE TICKE,

BLAINE AND WILSON THE TICKET.
A special dispatch, sent to the Boston
Post from New York day or two ago,
says:
1t is currently reported here that Speak
er Blaine visit to New York yesterday
was the result Of hasty consultations held
In Washington with a view of withdraw
ing Grants name from the Philadelphia
Convention. Mr.. Blaine, upon noticing in
Washington disposition Oh tie part of
the Grant leaders to change the Philadel-
phla programme, at once came to this CITY
to consult several Grant managers, and get
the ears of the small, but influential, Grant
clique in New York. There can be nc
doubt that inside the regular Republican
party movement is on foot to drop Grant
at Philadelphia, and substitute a civilian al
| Washington. Leaders like Morton, Car
penter, Conkling and Cameron have beer
| taken by surprise at the immense attend
ance at Cincinnati, which was demon
strated to them in facts which they cannc
ignore, the formidable extent of the Lib
eral Republican movement. This is Il
them of far more importance than tn,
| nomination of Horace Greeley, and they
therefore, think that the time has arrivet
for them to do something to conciliate th'
Republican malcontents, if such be ye
possible. Blaine, whose ambition know
no bounds, and whose tact is second tt
none in Congress, took advantage of th
state of feeling in Washington to repair t.
New York, and see what could be done
1t is SAID that he returned to Washington
fully Satisfied on the situation, and conf
dent that if change is to be made, he
more than any other man, has the chance
of being placed first on the Philadelphia
ticket, with Wilson, Of Iowa, for Vice
President.
Wilmington journal. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1844-1895, 1872-05-17

from our untenable and unjust position |?
Or is it designed to obtain Congressional
countenance to some coup d'etdt which
will require popular support Or is the
small device an effort TO prevent exposure,
by the democratic opponents of the admin
istration, Of facts which may prove disas-
trous to the party in power as represented
in the government ? Whatever may be the
motive, protest against this Executive in
reference with my rights as one of the
representatives of the people, and de-
nounce it as a usurration and unwarranted
invasion of the privileges of the House of
Representatives,. -
1t Is agreed by all parties in Washington
that this extraordinary proceeding was
blunder Of the first magnitude; but there is
very old saying: Whom the Gods will
destroy they first make mad - and it may
be realized once more ere long.
1t is moreover asserted authoritativcly
that after SO many vacillations, the President,
tired and disguised with the efforts made
to patch up the case, firmly declares that
there was but one solution of the question.
He said to Cabinet officer, "You may
rely upon it will not sanction, from this
time forth, any suggestion for the disposal
of the controversy, 1t must meet its fate
! at Geneva. We have declared to the
whole world that the question of conse-
uuential damages is one for the arbitrators
to decide, and if England takes the re-
sponsibility of denying it our Government
! cannot be blamed. l will not back down
| or withdraw our case"
| 1t stated that dispatch Of this tenor
was sent to General Schenck as reply to
the British proposition of Thursday of last
! week. The result is already anticipated in
officialeircles, and failure of the treaty
apprehended.
This is a bad time for General Grant to
make blunders, if he is anxious for re-
election. Ill-omened rumors are thick, as
to his prospects, coming from his friends
as well as his opponents. They talk of his
withdrawing in favor of Sherman. They
suggest that he may receive n ''complimen-
tary ballot" at Philadelphia, and that
Blaine or Boutwell, would make a better
run than he against Greeley. n ne mean
time, the dissatisfaction with the Greeley
Brown nomination seems to be dying
away. More and more names of pr0mi-
nent Republicans and Democrats are quote
daily as ralying to the support sf the tick
ct. If this tide continues to Eiee, Ais not
hard to predict that even the gFF d9 army
Of office-holders, as well as oflceseskers
will speedily transfer their orshin noll

Both sides of Case Argued by
TOOmbS.

IoOmbs, OF Georgia, is one of the most
gifted OF all the erratic geniuses that Amer
ica has yet produced. Like Tom Marshall
and William Haskell, he is natural born
! orator. MIR. Clay heard him make one of
his first political speeches at a mass meet
ing in Georgia in 1910, and predicted for
him then brilliant future. 1t is related
OF ToOmbs that on one occasion, in tue
trial of a very important case before a Geor-
gla jury, he by some strange absence of
mind, got up and made powerful speech
against his client, who was the plaintiff in
the case. After he had spoken nearly an
hour, and was about to close, one of his as
sociate counsel whispered in his ear that he
had made a mistake-that he had spoken
on the wrong side. For a moment only
TOombs was perfectly dumfounded, and
recovering Immediately he turned to the
court and jury and said: '' Now, may l.
please the court, and you, gentlemen 0fsatt a.
jury, have in my remaEkfbe very hest
tempted to give VGaid on that side of the
too' JtIGfid though it may appear at first
blush very strong case, yet | am conf
dent, if you will give me your attention a
little while longer, l will be able to con-
vince you that, after all, my client, the
plaintiff, is entitled to verdict at your
hands" He then proceeded to overturn
every position previously taken by him,
exerting himself to the uttermost of his
wounded ability to repair his mistake, and
wound up with an appeal to the court and
jury so thrilling that he carried them by
storm, and triumphantly gained the case
Ior his sclient.-LeringtOn (hy.) YeOmdn.

do other wise than support the ticket, and
moved that the nomination Of Thomas be
made unanimous.
Thomas, i'll accepting the nomination,
addressed the Convention. He committed
himself as favoring the passage of the

perfect equality in hotels, &c, &c.
