The Office of Ordinary.

Editor Morning Ne,os: There is a quail
fication for the office of Ordinary, which
although absent from the statute books,
cannot with safety be ignored by the cleo
tors in this county at the approaching
election. So far as the interests of the
public are concerned, it is just as essential
and important that the Ordinary be Vers-
ed in legal knowledge as that the Judge of
the Superior Court have such training.
This is true of most counties in the State;
it is pre-eminently so of Chatham, where
the regulation of county affairs has been
taken from the Ordinary, and there is left
to him only his judicial and quasi-judicial
functions. Without disparagement of
the ability of those seeking the position,
it is suggested that upon this view of the
office, Mr.. N. c. Collier is the candidate
who can best meet this requirement. The
office should not be bestowed upon any
other test than that of fitness to discharge
the peculiar duties appertaining to it.
duties including the most intricate and
delicate points of law. CITIZEN.

PAID UP HIS DEBTS.

1t is learned that just previous to leav-
ing the city Major Smyth called at seve-
raj places where he was a creditor and
balanced his bills in full. 1t is believed
that he left very few, if any, local bills
unpaid. A few nights ago, it is related,
A well-knOwn BrOughtOn street faro deal
er took advantage of an opportunity to
form an acquaintance with Major
Smvth when he was somewhat flushed
with wine and inveigled him ints ne
gaming room, where, after losing all his
ready cash. he became a debtcr to the ex-
tent of 500. AS already inferred all eff
forts to trace his whereabouts have proved
unsuccessful. From the impOssibility to
obtain a clue to his presence at any OF the
deDOts it is inferred by some that he
boarded sn outward bound vessel and is
en- route for a foreign shore.
