1t is stated that the bad feelings be-
tween the two men were increased
anew upon one occasion last year, dur
ing the trial OF a man named Blocker
before Justice Hale. Blocker was on
trial for assaulting a man. and the pro-
ceedings were somewhat disturbed by
Jim Gay, son of Richard Gay. This
caused a difficulty, and Richard Gay
drew a pistol for the purpose of protect
ing his son. The persons present
were filled with alarm and rushed out
Of the room, leaving Gay master Ofthe

Hale jumped out of the window when

Beaufort is beyond doubt, the favor
ite North Carolina resort, and if it is
not kept so it will be the fault of those
whose business it is to cater to the
public taste Like every other place in
North Carolina, and every enterprise,
either for business or pleasure, Beau
fort suffers from want of capital. Its
short in great measure, can
be traced to this fact. Still, its con-
tinued and increasing popularity AS a
home summer resort, must soon at
tract the attention of those who have
the means to increase the facilities for
accommodation and amusement.
But even as it is, we venture the as
sertion that Beaufort offers greater ia
cilities and better accommodation, fOI
the prices charged, than any other sea
coast place on the Atlantic. And sc

know that the public have any cause

STRANGE ADMISSIONS.

Speaking of things in Ohio, the New

mo strange remarks-strange at least
coming from Republican newspaper
that helped to elect Grant, and that
,,w sustains his administration. The
Past saws: ." 1t is understood that
Judge Thurman throws the weight
- ,f his character, which is excellent,
" and the weight of his political infu-
"ence, which is wide, in favor of
maintaining the old name and the
old organization of the democracy.

Many of the old democratic princi-
"DIes are indeed still vital, some of
" them are al this moment particularly
in order, but they must have new
opponents and fresh incorporation
before they can enjoy political tri-
"nmph. The Republican party also

principles at present; and in some of

In all that is said about Judge
Thurman we heartily concur. We
concur also in the estimate placed
ulon the respective values of the
principles of the Democratic and Re
publican parties. The Republican
party is indeed singularly destitute of
national or any other principles. AS
for Beast Butler, language is utterly
unable to do,justice to the subject.

The friends of this road do not seem
to be meeting with the success in its

So far from its construction being

The Norfolk Journal opposes the
project, and says that while the appli-

"made to understand that the com
pany had the means to build such q
railroad, and would, therefore, have
no occasion to seek the aid OF any peo-
pie along the proposed route, or Of any
treasury but its own proper one.
We presume that like appeals would
