Speaking of anticipated obstf lc'
ton on the part OF the Republican
members of the Senate, to the con-
6rmation of the appointments Of
Mr.. Cleveland, the Knoxville Josv-
nal, a Republican paper, is manly
enough to say:
The papers are again discussing
the question of the confirmation of
.Cleveland's appointments. There
ought to beno question about this
matter. There is none. The senate,
although republican, will confirm
appointments, unless some satisfac-
tory reason can be given for doing
otherwise. 1t cannot afford to reject
appointments for the reason that
appointees are democrats. To do so
would IA to invite the condemnation
of honest men of all parties. The

COURT OF OYER AND IERmINER.
The Superior court of Buncombe coun-
ty meets on Monday The case which
excites the most interest is that of the
Jones, father and son. confined. and
held for trial. as supposed participants
in the Joyce murder in April last. The
case will not come up at the coming term,
as the presiding Judge, Gudger, is related
to the parties accused. The case is one
of intense interest to both the accused
and to those who look to the Laws with
confidence in their impartiality and the
certainty of their enforcement. The ac-
cused in the ordinary. course of events
cannot be tried until the next term of
the court in the spring of next year.
They must endure the hardships ofpris-
on confinement through all the rigors of
the coming winter. They are entitled
under the constitution to speedy trial.
If they are indecent men they deserve
it
Would it not be well on the part ofthe

such request, to call upon the Governor

in whatever court it shall be considered,
it will occupy that term to the exclusion
of all the business.
