~The judicial investigation that
has been going on in New Orleans
in regard to the conduct of the noto-
rious Returning Board of Louisiana,
at the last Presidential election, has
developed a degree of rsttenness
and rascality never surpassed in the
history of the country. The verdict
of the jury in the case OF General
Anderson was guilty, with a recon-
mebdation to the mercy of the Court.

CIRCUIT COURT - Hills COOKE.
RoaERsyIILE, Feb. 8, 1878.

1AOdEtSsNlA4E, H'OD q 1919.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
We are now on the second week work
of our Circuit Court Up to this time
but little has been done, for which no
one in particular is to blame. A large
number of citizens have been in attend
ance on the Court, and have been pretty
free in their expressions of preference
for candidates for different offices, to be
filed in August.
As to the several gentlemen spok en- of
for the Circuit Judgeship and Chancellor
ship public opinion seems to be divided.
Each one have their particular friends by
whom such candidate would be pressed
to the front.
But this is not the case in the race for
the Attorney Generalship. Notwith-
standing there are several worthy gem
tlemen asking this position, the univer-
sal preference is openly expressed for
our learned and talented young friend /,
Ellis Cooke. pass no unmerited eulogy
on Mr. Cooke when say that his legal
attachments prominently qualify him
for this position; and considering his
ability it is avery modest request of Mr..
Cooke to ask this, the least of the judi
cial offices, when he is qualified for the
Judgeship or sChancellorship, and tho
Democratic party would be honored by
placing him in either of these positions.

presenting petitions and Mr.. Cox giving
notice of bill to return to China the

The proposition to extend aid to the

The Trip to Cuba.

We leaan that on the steamer
which leaves Savannah on the 18th with
the delegation in the interest of trade;
there are fifty through passengers from
New York and other Eastern cities.
These fifty persons are seeker after
health, not trade. Many of them are in
the last stages of Consumption, while
others are just experiencing their first
trouble resulting from neglected cold
and cough. A trip to Cuba is expensive
and not within the reach of all, but for
fifty cents any one can procure a bottle
of Symphyx, which if taken when a
cold first commences will prevent the
necessity of this expensive Journey.
