ELECTION OF TRIAL JUSTICES.

EDITOR OF THE ENQUIRER: 1 observe
that the election of trial justices by the
people is question that is attracting public
peared IN An eeeHt ases sue ayof or TIE ss R n M
Herald. think the suggestion good one.
There are trial justices in this county who
are holding the Office contrary to the will of
the people. Now, if the Office was elective
such would not be the case. The Office is
very often filled by men wholly incompe7
tent to properly discharge it's duties; and if
they have friends in the Legislature, they
can hold the Office as long as they wish. A
trial justice who knows nothing of law, will
put the county to great deal more expense
than a man who knows his business, and a
man who is not judge of law is not COM
petent to fill the Office of trial justice.

CONVICT DISCHARGED.

The Columbia Register of Thursday announces
the discharge of Joe Massey, colored, from the
State penitentiary after serving out his sentence

white lady in Rock Hill. Massey was tried for
the offence before Judge Hudson in Yorkville at
April term, 1878, and on being found guilty of
the charge was sentenced to the penitentary for

the Republic rests upon the integrity Of the ballot,

deposit fraudulent vote is no worse crime
against constitutional liberty than to obstruct the

ENGLISH VIEWS ON THE PREs1DETIAI
CANvAss.-The London Times, in its article
upon the Democratic and Republican NOM
inees for the Presidency, says: '"rhe plat
forms concocted by the Republican and
Democratic Conventions are both equally
unworthy of respect. They are distinguish
ed by evasions and trimmings, by ser
vile rivalry in fiattering the masses and IN
pandering to popular prejudices, thus en-
couraging some of the most pernicious doc,
trines of modern demagogues and social
quacks," u.
The London Ne,cs says: "America's for
eign relations will be safer in Clevelands
hands than in those of Blaine. The latter
represents the American Jingo party, which
like the same party here, makes up in au-
dacity and volubility for lack Of numbers; numb! s.
AS President, Cleveland would cultivate
uuietude abroad and peace at home. If
elected he will more worthily represent the
property, good sense and studied modera-
ton of the American people than Blaine"

- The opposition of Grady to the nomina-
ton of Cleveland is thus explained: When
Grady was a Tammany State Senator he
held the balance of power between the reg
ular Democrats and the Republican party.
He traded continually with the Republi-
cans, and did everything he could to en-
barrass Governor Cleveland and to defeat
his appointments. The Governor, who had
received from John Kelly assurances s OF
he did not think the public interest would
be served by Grady's return to the Senate.
Kelly and his crowd pretended great indig-
nation and gave the letter to the press for
publication And this is the cause of Mr..
Grady's opposition to Governor Cleveland
So far as the veto of the five cent fare bill
goes, Grady himselfopposed that bill.

PAULIsT MIssION.-On Tuesday last,
Fathers Brady and Doyle of the Paulist
Mission. closed series of services in ST..
Francis church of this city, which lasted
for more than a week. Their visit will be
long remembered 1t marked season of re-
yiyal of interest in Catholic work, and was
productive of no little good outside of the
Immediate congregation. The audiences
which listened to their eloquent and prac-
4ical sermons embraced members of all de-
nominations, and no one who attended
could fail to reap benefit. On Sunday
morning, Father Doyle preached upon the
duty of parents in rearing children. IL
was one of the finest sermons we have ever
listened to. We have heard men more
eloquent deliveries more impressive, but
we have never listened to more plain,
practical, common sense, sound counsel
and excellent advice in the same length of
time than Father Doyle crowded into
thirty minutes last Sunday morning. 1t
was Il sermon that every parent in this city
should have heard, and must have proved
; profitable to those who were present. The
speaker has genial and attractive face,
good delivery and pleasant voice, but it is
what he says more than how he says it
that impresses itself upon his auditors.
we hope that it will not be long ere the
Staunton people will have another oppor-
tunltysof listening to the Paulist fathers.

DEATHs.-At Hollins' Institute, Satur-
day night, Rosalie F., youngest daughter
OF Col. Geo. L. Peyton, died of CONGESTION
OF the lungs. The deceased was a pupil
at the school at the time and was very
suddenly seized. She was about nineteen
years of age, of lovely character and dis
position. She was the light and life of
her home and general favorite with all
acquainted with her. The stricken parents
and sisters have the sincerest sympathy
of very many friends. The remains were
inferred in Thornrose Cemetery on Mon
day, and on Tuesday morning the funeral
sermon was preached in the Baptist
church by Rev. J. M. Frost.
Mrs. Mary Scherer, the widow of the
late Jno. B. Scherer, Esq.,, died very sud
denly at her home in this city, on Saturday
night last, aged 81 years. She was sick
but few hours. The disease was neural
gia of the heart. Mrs. Scherer was ma
tive of Germany, but had lived in this
place for forty-five years. She was atrue
Christian woman, a devout member of the
Catholic church, devoted and affection
ate mother, and friend to all with whom
she was acquainted. She was one of those
rare women whose life exemplified the
beauties Of the christian character, and
whose death will be regretted for years to
come. A solemn requiem mass for the
repose of the soul of the deceased was sung
at the church Tuesday morning whence her
remains were conveyed to their last rest
ing place in Thornrose.
