Some weeks ago We took the ground
that the advocates of prohibition
would damage the cause of temperance
in South Carolina if they did not cease
to press their movement. The result IN
North Carolina is proving the correct
ness of this position, for some time
before the election in that State on
prohibition, by which the movement
was defeated by more than hundred
thousand majority, the city Of Char.
lotte elected a dry ticket and refused
to grant licenses. Now that the fight
has been made and lost in the State,
the city council of Charlotte has re-
considered it's action and decided to
grant licenses for the sale of spIrItuous
liquors as heretofore. This should be
lesson to the ultra prohibitionists in
this State. They had better let we'll
enough alone.

WASHINGTON, October 4.-There
was a good deal Of interest in the
courts to-day, the grand jury COM
pleting their examination and finding
4 presentment in the assassination
case, while the Criminal court room
was the theatre of another demonstra
ton of the Star Route jobbers. In
accordance with the expectation Of the
prosecution expressed in court yestcr'

formation made their appearances with
q motion to quash There was for
-midable array Of defendants, counsel
and prospective bondsmeD, which filed
into the courtroom a. au early hour.
attracting general attention. First
came Messrs J. L. French and ". II.
Turner, former clerks in the contract
Office of the postofice department, aud
who are included in the information
as to the conspiracy o route No. 40
101. After the dismissed and dis
graced officials of the smaller denomi.
nation came the Boss" Thomas j..
Brady. The latter was the exposure
of all eyes, especially Of the prisoners
in the dock in the case under consld-
Grafton. They doubtless felt mean 10
the presence OF such royal thieves.
Brady was accompanied by S. P
Brown, his co-consplrator. They were
followed by Col. Bob Irgersoll, who
will attempt to prove there is no hel!
for S. P. Brown, and that the whole
business is only mistake Of Moses.
There we're the Hon. Joe Wilson and
Euoch Totten, both eminent lawyers,
and Chanler, and there was the Hon.
J. Hale Sypher, an eminent cipher
Behind these came Hallet kilbourn
and other distinguished gentlemen,
who were there in the character OF
possible bondsnen.
" Altogether it was a goodly sight,
this remarkable assembly, and might
have been very impressive to jury
Opposed to this array Of oriuirals,
legal lore and hard cash, were the
bent form, gray hairs and knock,
knees of Col. Billy Cook. The latter
was fully equal to the situation
and contaminated the crowd with q
cynical smile. When Mr.. Totten
announced that they had come there
for the purpose of entering motion
to quash and fix dag for the argu-
ment, Col. Cook got on his wlry
legs and demanded that the defence
comply with the law and furnish
bail.
Then the side issue of bail was
taken up, Jcre Wilson and Col. lnger-
soil going into the merits Of the in,
formation at some length. Every
time this was done Col. Cook brought
them back to the point at issue, and
sarcastically insinuated that the
quickest way to reach the issue was to
comply with the law and furnish bail.
Wien the case came up the Govern
uent would soon show whether it had
evidence OF not to sustain the counts
in the information. When the wran-
gle closed the case was left just where
it began, the motion to quasb was not
entered, the Judge desiring a day to
look over the.information so he could
determine the amount Of bail, after
furnishing which the defence can file
their motion.
So Little Billy" Cook, as the Ring
sters call him, won the first skirmish
iu the Court. Brady & Co. gave their
personal recognizance to appear in
Court tomorrow morning.

The death Of President Garfield
did not stop the hostility between
the "Stalwarts" and "Half Breeds
in the State of New York. This
was the issue in electing their dele
gates to the recent State Conven
ton. In Conkling's own County,
Utica, the contest for delegates was
very close: the two factions held
separate meetings and elected q
different set of delegates, the Stall
warts being headed by ext. S.
Senator Conkling, and the Half
Breeds, or Garfield Republicans, by
ex-State Senator Lowery. When
the State Convention met in New
York City the 5th the Half Breeds
were in a majority, even leaving
out the contesting delegations.
After a short, sharp and decisive
fight they got entire control Of the
Convention and had things their
own way.
