On THE wAYs.--A reporter of this
journal called at Allen Il Brassn's ship
yard yesterday. where the steamer Mes
senger had been hauled out. In reply
10 question a. TO how much work was
TO be done TO the boat, Mr.. Allen said /:
" Our orders are to put her in first class
shape. We have twenty men at work
tearing her bottom OF. We intend put
ting IN new timbers aud fresh planking
throughout. She will have new guards,
and when We get through with her she
will be as staunch as the day she was
launched. Her boiler was found In good
shape, and very little work will be need
ed ON that, while the necessary lining
up and repairs are being made 10 her
engines under the superintendency of
the engineer. We will work as large
force as We can 10 advantage. and en-
deavor TO get her of the ways within
seven or eight days.

Because Mr.. Blaine, for several weeks
after his nomination to the presidency
delayed sending his formal letter of 40
ceptence to the National Committee, be
was quite severely criticised by the
Democratic papers. When it was pub

so in,pregnably fortified with facts and
logical deductions that the same Demo
cratic press, not being able to oontro-
vert a single one Of its utterances, were
compelled as dernier resort 10 sit still
and content themselves with making
faces at the author. Mr.. Blaine's letter
OF acceptance forces the fight ON the
issue of protection versus free trade.
He liz Republican. The Republican
party ia committed to the principle VI

Mr.. Blaine states the record and results
Of this policy Of the party truthfully,
folly and unanswerably. His letter of
acceptance was ably supplemented by
that Of General Logan who bluffiy aud
strongly, as is his habit stated his convic-

the present campaign.
There are other letters of acceptance

would be promptly transmitted TO the

To The CHRONICLE Please accept my
thanks for your gentle but excellent crit
icism of the speeches made at the Univer-
sity last week by the young gentlemen
who represented the Literary Societies.
There is no fear of your being miscon-
strued, for you have shown by works and
words that you are true blue Southern to
the core; and you can, therefore, speak
true words of criticism. 1t is all mat
ter of taste. do not admire the morals
and manners of Massachusetts as shown
in the divorce courts, and prize above all
price our own best social traditions. But
it is of very doubtful taste for odious COM
parsons to our former enemies Especially
when we all protest that we are all friends)
to be made at such time and place as the
State University.
You may publish this if you see fit.

A Gem,man From Mort Calling.

The other day when there was not a
quorum in the House, the members enjoy
ed themselves by holding mock session.
The Washington correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer tells the following fun
ny occurrence:
sAn incident of the mock session was
the appearance on the floor of a venerable
son of Africa in search of Gen. Cox. He
caught the attention of members on both
sides, who applauded as much, because of
his carpet bag Zone of the old fashioned
kind) and his faded umbrella as anything
else. Uncle Frank call de way from Norf
Calliny," wore very long duster. He
had small patch of wool on either horn
of his forehead and an area of equal di-
mensions on his ebon chin. Walking
solemnly down one Of the Democratic
aisles amidst the plaudits first from the
Democratic side and then the Republican
he reached the space in front of the Speak
er's desk ''Speech speech - greeted his
wondering ears on all sides. At first some
what bewildered, he soon recovered his
composure. Putting down his burden, he
proceeded to address the Forty eighth
Congress. "Gen'lemen," said our Uncle
Frank, ''I's glad I see you alive" Ire
mendous cheering and clapping drowned
the few remaining and broken remarks of
the venerable statesman from North Car
Olina.

In the beautiful town of Lenoir, in
which THE CHRONICLE and its readers have
an especial interest, they had big day of
it On June 5th, when the completion Of
the Chester and I.enoir railroad was cele-
brated. Five or six thousand peOpled as
sembled, speeches were made by Judge
Haskell, Col Moore and Mayor Jones'
Everybody made it holiday and the fes-
tivities of the day wound up with a
pleasant ball.
Col. Moore now in his S7th year, the
last of the old men who began this work,
drove the last spike. To celebrate such
events is the pleasantest duty of progress
sive people, and every such celebration
marks big step forward. For Lenoir,
three cheers!

While Robson does not lay claim to
any position upon the State ticket, yet we
feel she has a voice, (and not "a still
small one" either) in saying who ought to
be the men to fill the different positions.
So as to the first man she has no especial
pet, and in the Scales of justice she will
not be found wanting or dissatisfied. But
as the next place in order will undoubtedly
be filled by an Eastern man. there is one
man who in our opinion is beyond all dis
pute better qualified than many others,
and man whom old Robson would de-
light to support, and that man is Major
Charles M. Stedman, of New Hanover.
We propose on the day of the Congress

were wont to honor more than he would
accept of them, and he is none other than
Col Alfred Rowland. We claim the nom
ination not from our geographical loca-

equal to all the emergencies, and would
make representative of whom, not only
the district will feel proud, but the whole

A Proposition to Bring the Subject BE.
fore the State Convention.


fore the State Convention.
To THE CHRoNICLE:-One of the most
timely suggestions that have enriched the
columns of THE CHRONICLE was the recent
editorial on judicial compensation. 1t is
subject somewhat delicate, and will ad-
NIT Of dainty handling; but the time
has come, surely, when it demands sober
thought. Nor will thought alone suffice;
prompt action also is necessary. Other
wise movement in the direction of in
creasing the salary of our judges, and
therefore Of placing on the bench our
finest jurists, must needs be barren Of de-
sirable results.
1t is a matter of regret-but true, never
theless that, as rule, our best lawyers
are not judges. The decisions of the Su-
the Superior Court bench. l have not
learned the proportion of decisions rem
dered by the Supreme Court, but it will
hardly be denied that reversal is the rule,
not the exception. do not wish to un-
dervalue the ability of our judges. To
be infallible is not the prerogative of men.
Mistakes must follow upon decisions rem
dered without time for deliberation. The
point is that better lawyers would make
fewer mistakes. The reason of this de-
fciency is obvious. In this year of grace
considerations other than the longing after
homer influence mems conduct. A lawyer
whose practice yields an yearly income of
s., 900 will not, as a rule, accept the judg-
ship with the stinted salary of $2, 500.
Our judges, think, are the worst paid
laborers in the State. Let each one of
them have a salary Of q, 900 at least, and
men of the finest legal talents will wear
the judicial ermine.
The Justices of the Supreme Court hold
the place of honor and responsibility. They
are overworked and ill-paid. Should their
salary not be at least s., OOGf Should their
number not be five instead of three2
heartily approve of THE CHRONICLES
recent suggestion, and would be glad TO
see this matter brought before the State
Convention. w.
