rs 10 decide the basis of representot;o,,
kindly assigning to Alexander county t,vo
delegates. While it is true that comics os
the blank call were sent to the chairmen of
the different County Democratic Central
Committees, for approval or disapproval,
we are one Of the large number of
Democrats who feel constrained
to denominate the movement as a piece of
over-oiiiciousnesS, especially rs ii was made
without consulting the contender of the
state Committee living in this district, and
on the mere assumption that no Judicial
Central Committee was appointed by the
convention that met last Spring in the city
of Centralia. Accompanying the blank
call that was sent to the chairman of the
Democratic Central Committee of AleXan-
der county, was the following explanatory
letter from Mr., r. T, Pace, member of the
State Central Committee for the 10Th Con
grcssional district;

DEAR SIR:-As there is no Central Com
mittec for the first Supreme Court District,
and as several Democratic candidates are
already suggested for the position, it is
thought best 10y many leading Democrats,
to call convention to nominate a candidate.
This duty will deyolve upon the chairmen
OF the County Central Committees in the
District or a majority of them. For the
purpose of getting an expression in refer.
ence to the same. enclose you a call for the
same, which il satisfactory would be pleas
ed to have you sign and return. If not ia,
vorably inclined, please notify me at once.
Yours, r. +. PACE,
Com. 10Th Cong Dist.
To this letter the majority Of the AleXan-
der County Central committee promptly
replied, through b. f. Blake, ESQ, their
| secretary, as follows
| To r. Pace, Democratic State Central Comm,
lcefor 10th Congress District, Nj Vernon. III
DEAR SIR:-We, the undersigned mem
bcrs of the Alexander County Democratic
Central committee, do not believe it cx.
pedient 10 call convention to nominate a
candidate for Supreme Judge, as per yours
Of March 81, 1879 and in the absence of
our chairman, We, majority of our com
mittec, do hereby PROTEST against the call
ing Of such convention; and in SO doing
we believe we express the sentiment of
Democratic voters of this county. We are
also under the impression that We have
nothing to do with calling such convention,
as we are informed that committee was
appointed at Centralia.
Respectfully Yours,
b. F. BLAKE, Sec'y.

We alluded, last week, to a legal in
quiry into the mental condition of color
ed woman, named Caroline Williams. The
jury decided, We believe, that Caroline was
not tit subject for the lunatic asylum; but
should be sent to her friends and family in
indianapolis. AS no one has funds where
with to carry orders of that character into
effect, Caroline was turned loose upon the
streets again. The poor creature Is more of
mono-maniac than lunatic. She seems
to regard her life as in constant jeopardy:
and we have boys, even men, in the city, so
lost to every feeling Of sympathy for the
Sulierings of their kind. as to aggrayate
those fears by telling the wretched woman
most frightful stories--how this man is af-
Ter her with two swords and a battle axe,
and how others have sworn to take off her
hide and tan it for saddle skirts-and
stories of this sort the unbalanced creature
religlously believes. She was on the streets
yesterday, appealing to nearly everybody
whom she met to protect her from some
imagined harm that was about 10 befall
her; and not untrequently her unsettled
brain coniures up visions of terrible men
armed with knives and guns thirsting for
her blood. About other matters she talks
With show Of nationality; but no one can
convince her that she would live an hour
unless she kept herself constantly on the
lookout for the enemies who are in pursuit
Of her.
