Of Woodward. ....
Wilkesbarre, January 1O.-The stalwart Re.
publicans OF Luzerne are terribly incensed over
Gov, Hoyt's appointment Of Stanley Woodward to
the bench. When the news reached Kingston
the Hoyt Club tore down the Governors picture
that has adorned their building since the cam
pagn and trampled 1t under foot in the mud
The Governors hthJgrhphs that had been dis
tributed through the city with the legend. "0ur
Next Governor thereon, were speedily thrown
iu the waste basket, and unmlstakabe manifesto
tlons Of indignation at the action Of the man who
but yesterday was the first fayorite found ex-
preston in various ways The demonstration in
Kingston is especially noticeable since it is the
Governors former home, and the action Of the
club beariHg his name has given great offence to
many who are still counted among his silent
friends. Kingston Is also the home Of Judge
Woodward's Unsuccessful rival ex Senator
Payne, but theprOceedings Of his Jealous friends,
do not, IL ia said, meet with his approval. The
Wilkesbarfe adherents OF Payne are farious over
his failure, aud will hold an indignation meet
ing to protest againstth Governors action.

A Bright Glance at Henderson.
II y. c.. March %, 1850.

ii NDERSON y. e.. March 20. 1880.
.Hr. Edit0r:-As Henderson is u place OF
considerable and growing prominence a a
tobacco market. your readers will doubtless
be glad TO learn some facts concerning 1t.
1t is admitted to be one OF the finest toba:-
co marts in the United States. and for its
bright. fancy plug tobacco, particularly y. has
achieved vide spread fame. Almost from it,
incipiency. it has been considered a town IT
some importance in this line, and Its bust
ness men have worked steadily 10 acquire a
national reputation; which they are about to
accomplish. The average price, for the
past wear have been unprecedented in the
annals of the town, or possibly the State :;
tobacco having sold here last week at 800
per ID. From 100 to 500 lots OF tobacco are
sold here daily, which, considering that
there are only three warehouses and two
factories in the place, is greatly 10 lt> credit.
The tobacco manufacturers are Mr.. y. +.
Pogue and W.. G. Gary Il Co.
The warehouses are owned and conducted
by Currin s. Watkins, by. &C. Cooper, and
DR.. Meadows, all of whom do a fine bust
ness.
Henderson is situated on the highest
point of the Railroad has close connection
with all important places on the road, and IS
only two hours ride from Raleigh. The
place has but one drawback-the sad, sad
need of an hotel. TIE two establishments
dignifed with that name are not what they
should be, and while the proprietors are
very clever, and do their best for the com
fort of their guests, they cannot do them
selves justice in such houses. The people
need string up in respect to such want.
1t would unquestionably be to their interest
to erect a handsome brick hotel, as 1t would
induce the Commercial Tourists to stop
here, when they frequently go farther on in
order to get better accommodation. Besides
being a good tobacco depot, Henderson
does a great deal of business in the way Of
cotton. About six thousand bales are sold
here annually. The railroad from Oxford
to Henderson is nearly completed and
the public opinion is that it will benefit both
places.

one Tucker, near Henderson, has died of
his injuries. Tucker fled. Liquor the

was audible throughout the Courtroom.

cannot refrain from saying l heartily con-
cur with the State In the course they have
pursued, in asking that . verdict of not

The Supreme Court has just decided in a
case c irrled up froia Salisbury, that town
commissioners have a right to impose q
specific tax for the privilege Of keeping a
dog. Yet the same Supreme Court deci-
dau less than a year ago, that a dog is not
property, and relying upon this decision
the trends Of the dog have declared that
the Legislature cannot pass a law levying =
tax upon him. Sure enough, how IS this (

ANOTHER MUD CUT MASH-UP.-W,

ANOTHER MUD Cur MAsH-UP.-We
gave last week an account of the accident
near Conover which is said to have cost
$4,000. Another accident happened on
the following day. We quote the Observer ::
"Mr. Richmond Pearson, who was an
eyewitness of the occurrence, reached the
city yesterday, and gave a reporter a full &C
count of it. The accident happened at a
point about one-fourth of a mile above the
now famous Mud Cut" and not far from
the summit Of the Blue Ridge. The track
at that place had been before regarded as
safe, the road bed appearing to be In good
rains, followed by dry weather, caused the
embankment to give way, assures appear
ing in several places, allowing the track to
| incline to one side. The construction train,
consisting of an engine and a fiat car, was
on It's way down to Mud Cut. On the fiat
car were forty convicts and several guards.
When the train reached this point on the
road, at a speed of about twenty or twenty
five miles an hour, the engine went past 1t
safely, but the track sunk to one side under
the pressure of the car. In a moment the
car pitched forward and then went over and
over down the steep face of the embank-
ment, there fifty feet in height. As the car
pitched forward a guard, James Brady, OF
Mcdowell county, was thrown under it, and
cut literally in pieces by the crushing weight.
Two c%onvicts, Collier Hill and Claiborne
Sweet, both colored, the latter from Craven
county, were also killed instantaneously and
horribly mangled, one being disemboweled.
Two other c%onvicts, Charles King, white, of
Wilmington, and Sam Jones, colored, were
dangerously wounded, the former having
his knee cut off. The other persons on the
car were nearly all bruised, and the car it
self wrecked.
In rear of this construction train, and fol-
lowing it, was the passenger train. 1t Was
only two hundred yards away when the ac-
cident occurred. The engineer stopped it
almost in a moment, and the trembling pas
sengers alightcd and went to assist the un-
fortunates on the wrecked car. The pas
| serger train could not, of course. go beyond
the break and the passengers were COMPEL
ed to walk to Round Knob. The condition
of the road bed at the point where the acct
dent occurred was then ascertained. it not
having been previously known, of course.
The passengers examined the track all the
way to Mud Cut and found it to be IN at
least three place in a worse condition than
at the place where the train was wrecked

In little book just published in Paris,
called 'rhe Two Republics" the following
story is told: zone day in 1879, at the resi-
dcnce of NJ. Gambetta, the conversation fell
upon the expulsion Of Prince Napoleon
from France. NJ. Thers caused the arrest of
the prince at the chateau of NJ. Maurice Rich
ard at Alillemont and had him conducted to
the frontier. l asked Gambetta what ho
would have done, as he was severe in h is crit
icism of the action of NJ. Theirs ''What
should have done if / had been in the place
of NJ. Theirs? Well, will tell you. / should
have disguised hundred policemen in the
garb of peasants and sent them to Millemont,
with orders to create row. break the Win
dows of the chateau and denounce tho prince.
Then, representing the government, should
have put stop to the riot. l should have
thus shown that even the presence of the
prince was offensive to the rural population
should have arrested the priuce, as pre-
cautionary measure, to secure his safety aud
to protect him from the just indignation of
the people. The whole world would have APP
plauded the act"
