JUDGE FOWLE AT CHARLOTTE The
Charlotte Observer, speaking Of the brief
remarks of Judge Daniel G.. Fowle, at
the Mecklenburg Centennial, says
Judge Fowle's name is inspiring
in an high degree, his diction is chaste
and elegant, and he rarely fails to stir
even the most callou. His speech was
remarkably well received.
The Wilmington Reoieu learns
Judge Fowle, in answer to frequent
calls made a very eloquent and happy
speech of about ID minutes duration,
which we understand was very much
admired by all who heard it."
Bro. Mcdowell, of the Southern
Honee, says
Judge Fowle was called upon and
delivered a short address of singular
beauty of thought and language, and
ornamented and adorned by the most
chaste and appropriate of classical illus
trations. As one gentleman remarked.
''he could not possibly have expressed
more in the same number of Words
He is regarded by many as the most
polished orator in North Carolina, and
this address has won for him additional,
laurels."

lhe State Beard Of + ealth.

Nearly two years ago the Farmer ana
Mechanic warmly called for the organi-
cation of this body, and the adoption OF
measures to make its labors of imme-
date practical benefit. We argued that
the state could well afford to appro-
pirate $1,000 (if necessary a year to
secure the active services of halt a dozen
of the most skilled physicians to investi-
gate the causes, study the features, and
make practical recommendations OF pre-
~ventive and curative methods in the
$ ,ecial diseases such as Diphtheria,
Scarlet fever, Meningitis, fever and
apue. and other prevalent ailments, In
many localities.
1t would not do to say these matters
should be left to the local physicians;
for although the latter may be among
the best in the world, they have not the
time or means to devote to such lnves-
tigation; and even if they should find
the cause, and adopt the best remedy,
their recommendations would not have
the weight, nor receive the publicity,
and public confidence, of awell-organized
s~alaried Board. Fortunately our people
are steadily, though slowly, coming tc
see these thingsin proper light. Attic
State Medical Convention last week a
new Board was elected, as provided for
bv the changes in the law, made by the
late Legislature.
The following gentlemen were elected:
To serve for the ensuing six years

In addition to the physicians, DR.. A.

According to q decision just render
ed by the Supreme Court of California,
lawyers are not at liberty to decline to
appear in the defense of impecunious
prisoners, if assigned to that duty by
the court. Judge Clark, of Sacramen-
to, requested a young attorney to take
charge of the defense in a case where
no compensation could be expected,
and adjudged a refusal to he contempt
of court, for which he imposed q fine.
Upon a writ Of habeas corpus issued by
the appellate court, this decision was
pronounced sound law. The liability
to serve gratuitousIy is declared TO be
one of the burdens of the legal profess
sion, for which its privileges are am

The correspondent of the Times,
writing from Mansfield, says:
In reference to the late affair at
Pleasant Hill, Larry Armstrong, after
having killed Wyatt Foster made his
escape, though wounded. He was cap
tured on the 9Th by the sheriff Of Ma
varro county, Texas, in Corsicana. He
is now lodged in Jail there awaiting
orders of removal to this parish.
Sheriff Marlborough, of DeSoto parish,
is very energetic in fulfilling the re-
quircments of the law and will contin-
ue his efforts in securing Armstrong by
writing to the Governor for a requisi-
ton. I learn that DIR. Armstrong,
father of the fugitive, is very anxious
to have the case Investigated and feels
satisfied that he can vindicate his sons
action in the matter.

THE FLOATING INDEBTEDNESS.
lShreveport Standard

shreveport Standard.]
Even before it has finally got the
question of the bonded debt of the
State off its hands, the Convention is
about to attempt to handle the floating
indebtedness. II ii should meet with
no better success in carrying out the
will of the people than it has hitherto
met with, we would advise it to let
the debt alone. Already its contem-
plated action is giving rise to reports
that are not as complimentary to the
Convention as one would wish. One
paper charges that there is Il million
this may be always expected from a
body which let's into it such large
element from the party which has
thrived ON its corruptions, and whose
members never give legislative vote
without receiving pay for it. 1t is
said that the Democratic caucus will
take hold of the matter and force its
members to abide by the will of the
majority. This is proper and is in ac-
cordanco with our suggestions with re-
gard to every important measure made
before the Convention met. If our
advice had been taken the Radicals
would have been virtually cut off
from any participation in the forma-
t1Ou Oh the OO0St1tuI1On, anu the state
would have been spared the humilia-
ton of having a Radical minority
force it into the payment of a Radical
debt.
There is no necessity for the funding
Of tho floating Indebtedness of the
State, as Is proposed to be done. The
gil ,OOO, 900 of back taxes ought to be
made to pay this %, OOO, 900 of debt,
and the State ought to be satisfied if
it even gets that much of these taxes
paid. If tho evidences of this indebt-
edness should be made receivable for
these taxes, we think that the whole
debt would be extinguished in a short
time. Unless the proposed bonds are
made SO receivable, they ought not to
be issued, because the people already
have as heavy q bonded debt as they
are able to carry. In other words, if
the back taxes are not to be made to
pay this floating Indebtedness, no pro-
vision for its payment should be made
at all. Why, then, 60 to tho trouble
and expense of converting it into
bonds when the warrants can be used
in payment just as well, if they are
made receivable for taxes?
