to work, while he was giving faithful
attention to his duties in Washing
ton, to defeat his denomination.
Friends appealed to him to come
home and organize the campaign
against his. opponents; but he re-
piled that he would not do this--that
he was elected to be in Washington
during the session Of congress, and
that he sould remain there, if thereby
he lost the nomination. The contrast
between his course and that Of some
other who could be named is marked !;
aud that it has been SO emphatically
indorsed by the republicans Of Da-
kota deserves TO be mentioned to their
honor. The same fidelity to duty
was happily illustrated by Governor
Hayes during the war. While he
WAS in the field he was nominated
for congress and urged by friends to
come home and look after his election,
He replied that to desert his post on
such mission would entitle him to be
hanged. Il is the great mistake o
too many Of our congressman tha'
they regard their positions as persona
property. to be protected As a 6rs'
duty. There is no question whatever
that Judge kidder viii be elected by
u triumphant majority, and such con
gratulations rs are in order are 70 be

Court.

Court is now in session in Dover. There
are no very important cases on the docket.
The one attracting the most interest is the
case OF the State vs.. John w. Downham
and others. This is the case of the man
Whitby who kept, or was accused of keep
ing house of i'll fame near Canterbury.
A lot OF citizens, feeling outraged by his
conduct, determined to "tear him out"
Accordingly, one night in March, 1875, a
crowd of men went masked and pulled his
house down. About 80 witnesses were
summoned in the case. A strong feeling
was manifested in the community against
Whitby, and there seems to be q good deal
of sympathy for the rioters, who violated
the law to get rid of bad man. They did
evil that good might come of it. Mr..
Massey is defending the rioters. The trial
is still in progress.
In the case of the negro accused of steal
Ing clothing from Phillips & Co., of this
town, and Jos. Bruton, accused of stealing
peaches from John Anthony, the Grand
Jury ignored both bills. There was no
evidence to sustain the charges and the
accused were discharged.
On motion Of Hon. N. B. Smthers, John
r. Nicholson, of New York, (son of Hon
John A. Nicholson) was admitted to prac.
tice in the courts of this State
There are ten applicants for liquor
license, and a great many witnesses are
summoned to testify. against inn keepers
for selling to minors; and against others
for selling without license.
Five of the applicants are from Smyrna
