Since the appointment Of Thomas
Holcomb TO the Office Of Recorder OF Deeds
a large portion of the Democracy of
Wilmington have lashed themselves in
to fury and attribute the appointment
to the influence which they say Secre-
tary of State Grubb exerts over Cover
nor Cochran; in fact they say that
Cochran is only igurr-head and that
his Secretary of State is the real Cover
nor. The Democrats Of Wilmington
Mr.. J. W. Vandegrft and Thomas NJ.
Ogl- and but few favored Mr.. llolcomb.
As one of the results Of the feeling which
has grown out OF the appointment, it is
stated that Mr.. James Carswel who
has been confined to his house for some
months by sickness and who is one OF
the Levy Court Commissioners had in
tended to resign bis Office yesterday or
to day and give the Governor an opp"r-
tunity to appoint successor hut hav-
ing been waited upon yesterday by II
delegation of leading Democrats and
requested to withdraw hs contemplated
resignation. he has ac9ulescs'd in their
desire. The reasons urged upon Mr..
Carswell and which he deemed sufficient
to influence him in his actions. We're that
Mr.. Grubb, the Governors Secretary of
State, would have successor appointed
who had no sympathy with the mass of
the Democracy, aud whom if they had
an opportunity they would repudiate.
Mr.. Carswell is improving in health
ard now instead of resigning heexp"ots
to fill his own seat in the Levy Court
when it meets again.
