Judge Thurman is delighted with the

Harvey Blake, the ex-convict, who was
brutally murdered recently in Pennsyl-

The rumor still continues that Mr..

1t is difficult for witnesses in the
United States Court at Greenyille, s. O.,
to get their pay, and there is consequently
great complaint. The trouble grows out
of the effort of Judge Durham to break
up the practice of discounting certif-
Gates of witnesses, INDUCED in with
great profit to- themselves by petty
brokers.

A state Platform.

The Republicans of New York are to
have State platform, if we have not
misunderstood the following from the
Tribune, their leading organ:
"We have the enemy on the defensive
on national issues. With strong tenn
perance platform we shall have them on
the defensive,on State issues also. All
that we need is courage"
That comes about as near to a confess
sion Of expected defeat as a paragraph
from q Republican organ could be ex-
pected to come. 1t draws the line be-
tween State issues and national issues
and proposes to go into the campaign
preceding the election OF President OF
the United States'as well as State Off
cials, riding or standing upon two plat
forms. The Republicans did not dare
TO raise prohibition issue in their ma
tional platform. They did not dare to
tackle the liquor question In any form.
But the, Republicans of one State, see
ing defeat staring them in the face, pro-
pose to aban6on the national plat
form, or rather go beyond it. and
make State or local fight upon an issue
in which their brethren in other States
will have no part nor lot "A strong
temperance platform. Why not rally
70 the support of General @. b. Fisk,
the Prohibition candidate for President?
He stands on temperance platform
"strohg" enough for anybody. We're
peat that the Tribune confesses by inn
plication that CLEVELAND win carry New
York.

AS Mr.. Edmunds will on court-day speak

then introduced Mr.. Edmunds, who was
received with rounds of applause. He
made a most graceful and telling talk Of
ten minutes. Mr.. Berry was then ia
troduced, and for IN hour and quarter
held the large crowd in an able discus
sion and exposition of the Mills bill and
other matters of public interest. His
speech was replete with sound advice 10
members of the club. and was receiXed
with frequent applause by the audience.
The ladies lent their presence 10 the oc.
casion, which doubtless added inspiration
to the speakers. All is going on

Coulton Davis, who was believed to be
the oldest druggist in this city. and who
was celebrated as the rossessor OF the
most complete collection Of American
coins, autographs, and autograph-letters
of historical personages, died at his resi-
dence, Sixteenth and Vine streets, yes
terday afternoon, of consumption,

monia last winter. He was sixty-fve
years of age, and fifty years OF his life,
with the expenditure Of an enormous sum
OF money, were devoted to the gathering
of his remarkable collection. His col
lection of autographs is, it is believed,
superior to any other in the country.
Among his valued possessions are auto
graph letters from every signer OF the
Declaration OF Independence, with steel
engravings of the signers, which is
believed to be the only perfect set in ex-
istence. He also owned autograph let
tiers from the signers OF the Articles OF
Confederation, autographs of the Presi-
dents of the United States and their
wives from Washington down, au-
tograph letters of every Cabinet
officer from the foundation of the
Government, autographs OF Washing
ton and his generals, and of many Revo-
lutionary worthless. He had 3 curious
collection of portraits and engrayings of
Washington, numbering several hum
dred, aud many letters written by him.
He was an authority on local history,
being regarded by historians as the
best posted man on local affairs within
their knowledge. he was member OF
the American Philosophical Society, as
we'll as number Of other bodies Of local i'm.
portance. He leaves wife and three
children.

FoaAKrR was booked for q bloody-shirt

and OF course the same day the Presi-
dent "put head ;" on EDmusps, HoAR,

OF the Yankee conspirators And
FORAKER, like CHANDLER, seems to
have failed to come to time,
or, IL he made the expected speech, it
shared the fate Of CHANDELIERS. With
this difference, however some persons
have heard and read OF CHANDELIERS
speech. but up to this time we have seen
no mention made of FoBAKRR's in any
paper that comes to this Office. What rem
ders the matter so much the worse fos
FoRAKxRis thathe had arefullyprepared
his speech, and ithad been printed and
sent to the leading papers all over the
country. We have had it on hand for
several days, and intended to comment
upon it, and perhaps ws may do 80 yet
in case we shall learn that it has been
delivered.
What a modification to CHANDLER,
FORAKER, and all the rest Of that tribe
OF agitstors, and sectionalists, and dis
turbers of the public peace, it must be
to learn that the public looks with con-
tempt upon their uttersnces.

elector for the Second congressional dis
trict, by electing delegates TO the Con-
gressional Nominating Convention in
Norfolk on the 4th of September, who
will vote for General v, ID. Groner for

pass his defeat.
In Portsmouth last night the Wise
