SUPREME COURT.
Judge Moncure Dies,
JUDGE LEWIS TAKES HIS PLACE.
The Whole Character of The Court
Changed, E

Judge r. l.. c. Moncure, President Of
the Va. Supreme Court of appeals died
two weeks ago of cancer and on Mon
day of last week Governor Cameron
filled the vacancy thus caused by ap-
pointing Judge Lunsford j.. Lewis Of
Richmond for the uneXpred term of
Judge Moncure, which is until the first
of next January, at which date all the
members of the present court 60 out Of
office. During the intervening folr
months, Judge Christian, will as tile
oldest Judge, become president of the
present court. On the first of January
the five new Judges will take their seats,
and while Judge Lewis is the youngest
of the five MEN, he will be the oldest
Judge and will become President of the
new Court. lie Is u half brother of
Lieut.. Coz. Jno. +. Lewis, is II Repub-
lican Rcadjustcr, q gentleman of the
highest character and Il man Of conceded
ability. lie married daughter of the
late distinguished Jno. Minor Bolts
There Is no more cultured or companion
able gentleman in Virginia, and the lib
eral Read dustcr party ca!l with pride and
security point to him as man worthy
Of the great elevation ON which 1t has
unanimously placed him. By this
change, the present court may be said TO
become practically converted from a
Funder Court to n Readjustcr one.

4 Prohibition Democrat Protests.

AD Influential Kansas Demo-
crat, J. R. F. Pitcher, Esq, protests
against the action of his party in
opposing prohibition, and against
the Unreasonable" declaration of the
Democratic nominee for Governor,
to the effect that, if elected, "he
would never lift little finger nor
speak word to help enforce the
prohibitory law" He writes:
Democracy is obedience to law
the will of the majority constitu-
tionally expressed-but according
to the Emporia convention it
means obedience only to such laws
as are personally acceptable. Talk
of the treason of secession! Why,
John C. Calhoun never claimed
that State had q right to remain
in the Union and disregard a law
of the general government; but
these men would remain in the
State, avail themselves of the priv
ileges and securities thereof, and
yet refuse to obey or execute the
laws of the State.
LET but the principle that dom
mated that convention triumph,
and there is an end of law no man
is safe, and no mans property Sc
cure.
81 have thought could be a law
abiding citizen and Democrat, a
temperance man and be Demo-
crat, in favor of checking the in
crease of want, misery and crime,
by helping to stop the flow Of the
great river of rum-a prohibition
list and and be Democrat; but if
the revelation at Emporia be De-
mocracy [and no appeal therefrom)
why, | fear | can no longer be a
Democrat,and read my title clear. -

ishes in Louisiana; in about
one-half the State, under the -Four
Mile Law" in Tennessee; in large
sections in Arkansas; in several
counties in Texas. The vote Civ
en- in various State Legislatures in
1881, cited by Dir. Dorchester also,
are significant. In Wisconsin the
vote in the House stood 81 yeas to
80 nays. In that State in 1873
$4,000 people petitioned for prohi-
bition; in 1879 10000; in 1880,
100000; and a still larger number
in 1881 In Pennsylvania the vote
in the House was 100 to 50, the
measure failing in the Senate. In
Michigan the House voted 63 to
80, the Senate q to ten-the nee
essary two-thirds being wanting by
only one vote in the House and by
three votes in the Senate. In Ne
braska the record was 40 to %; in
Ohio, in the House II to Is, in the
Senate 20 to II Cost by four votes) !;
in Illinois, House 56 to 81, Senate
is to 81; in West Virginia, 40 to
20 in the House; in Arkansas,
&C to II; in Texas, House 81 to "a,
Senate, % to Z. Here are a large
number of mGjorities that bid fair
before long to increase to the requi-
site two-thirds. The temperance
skies evidently are Frightening.
