NORTH CARoLINA's Judiciary.
Ignorance, Drunkenness, and COrruptiOn-A
Change Hoped for In the Fall.

AsuEvILLE, n. c.. Feb. ls.-South Car
olina is not the only State which is cursed with
men like Moses and whipper. For nearly eight
some most imbccie and corrupt judges. For
tunately, the election In the fall Will dispose OF
them.
To this judicial district, known as the Bun
comoe District, there IL j. l.. Henry, foisted
upon the people as judge by the radical party In
1893 Recently there report current here
that young lady In Washington city had sued
him for $2O0OO damages for Islander. The case
was hushed up. Judge Henry is a friend and
associate OF the Railroad Ring magnatos Of the
State. He was a director OF the Western North
Carolina Railroad for several years, and in 1870
was a member Of "a commission appointed by the
Legislature to 60 to New Y ork and settle with
two outrageous thieves, Swepson and Littleheld.
In the Raleigh District we have Judge Watts,
for favors shown the Railroad Ring since
1870. aud who has often dissraced himself by
drunkenness on the bench. watts, however,
knows so many little secrets OF the county
statesmen that, for the present, he IL safe.
Judge Jones. who wore the ermine In one OF
our Eastern District Courts, was compelled to
drove through the streets OF his town in broad
day with a prostitute, and was noted Tor drunk
enness, besides being implicated IN ring frauds
In the judicial District In western North Car
olna, bordering on Tennessee, i Judge X. w .
Logan Of whom his own party Is ashamed
because OF his ignorance. The first. ain
davit he ever wrote was much criticised Tor its
orthogr iphY. Josiah Turner, Jr., OF Ha-
leigh, says Judge Logan Il the only man ne ever
knew Of who spelt God with little "g.'
The Judge Is, no doubt, an honest man, 80 FAR as
money goes, but he Is VIGOROUSLY Incompetent.
There is another incompetent Judge IN the
Salisbury District-Judge Cloud, have Known
him 70 nne poor devil $40 for whiting in front
OF the Court House. The Judges decisions are
| Of course. nearly all reversed by the higher
! court. All this We hope 10 see changed for the
! better in the flll, with the election Of new
