Discussions of the Convention ON Im
portaut Subjects.


DENVER, Colo, Sept. 1.-THE Repub-
LEANS Santa Fc special says; In tho
state constitutional convention to-day
the discussion on the article submitted
by the committee OH the judicial depart
ment continued. The convention is
pretty evenly divided on the chief ques-
tion vt issue, which Is, whether the SUI
preme judges shall be elected by the
people or appointed by the governor. 1t
now looks like there will be reconsid-
Grafton clause relating to the probate
and county courts and possibly u COM
promise whereby the supreme judges
shall be first appointed and afterwards
elected every two years.
When the statehood movement took
formal shape last winter nine-tenths of
the population favored it, until the leg
isluturc adopted the plan of apportion-
ment, which by many was alleged unfair
ito those counties accustomed To sending
up democratic inajorities. On this ac-
count many democrats have been luke.
warm on the subject; but the action of
the committee to-day in reporting fu-
vorable apportionment, based on the last
registration list, Is by the majority con-
sidered Just. The convention will en-
dorso this apportionment, and should its
labors result itivorably the formation of
Il strong, liberal constitution is more
than probable. and regardless of party,
the people will support it, At any rate,
the adjustment OF this question practi.
cally wipes out any home opposition to
statehood that may have arisen since
the meeting of the last legislature. 1t is
probable that after the constitution is
framed it will be laid first before con-
gress for its approval, with the request
that an enabling act be passed before the
question adopted is submitted to tho
people. There are reasons peculiarly
local in character why such II mode of
procedure would not be unwise.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Sept. 13.---Attor-
neys Whitman and Gamble brought suit

mony. The plaintiff Is Lila NJ. Orr,
l5 years old and an orphan, while the

one of the most prominent citizens of
Nashville, who Is engaged IN the life IN
surancc business. Plaintiff alleges that
defendant is 80 or So years old is mar
ried; Is q member of the church, and is
Of high standing In tho community.
The, youthful plaintiff then declares that
In January, 1850, she was engaged to
wait upon defendants wife, who was an
invalid; that he Immediately began to
tondle and oaress her In which, being
inexperienced and without n mothers
care, she at first thought there WAS no
harm. Finally, by his many and per-
suasive and seductive Influences he
overcame plaintiffs sense of right and
wrong, and effected her complete rain.
Plaintiff states that she Is poor, but
is of good family and was highly re-
spected until defendant destroyed her
fair name She asks damages in the

Rose an odor wond 'rous sweet.
As bent to pluck the blossom,
Far away u rose spied,
Scanning then the snow.whito lily,
To this queen Of flowers hlod.
And watched the royal beauty,
Proudly bowing from her throne;
Then drew her To my bosom,
And claimed her ils my own.
But scarce had learned to love her,
Ere n sharp thorn pierced my heart,
And In angry pain badc her
From my presence to depart.
Then turned to where the lily
Once hnd bowed It's modest head
Turned To find the tender blossom
In my footsteps lying dead.

A Tip to the Charlotte Chronicle.

From an editorial in the Chronicle of
last Saturday, we clip the following:
"The executive officer who seeks to
make his administration personal, betrays
the trust of his fellow citizens, and out
RACES the party that elevated him.
1t would be just as we'll for North
Carolina own Governor to wedge this In
the lining of his hat"
Once upon a time an old negro was rid
ing a cantaukerous donkey and the don
key was kicker; the beasts hind foot
got hung in the stirrup and the old man
got down and said: "Look a. hYar, niue,
if you's gwine to do de ridiu,' le' me git
down and you git up hyar and do it," all
which we considerably consign to the
cerebral convolutions of our causLic and
commanding and corporate aud cosmo-
politan cotemporary-our Warwick Of the

years old, he walks as triumph antly as

about its age, although FIVE honorable
citizens will swear at any time that of
their knowledge the gander's age exceeds
forty years, as it was the only male bird
on the place. We mentioned several years
ago this bird SO devoted to it's master and
its tender and watchful solicitude for its
sick master during long confinement.

Col. Chas. r. Jones.

Col. Chas. r. Jones, who died last Satur-
day, was a native of North Carolina; he
was soldier of North Carolina, and was
the successful editor of the old Charlotte
Observer. He had won among his fellow
citizens-from some, affection; from some,
respect; from some, friendship; from some,
disparagement. He had been brave as q
soldier, energetic aud influential as an
editor, aud disappointed and mistaken
man in politics. He had the newspaper
gift, and bis friends recognized the fact.
With his gifts, came the penalty Of mis-
fortune as has sometimes fallen TO the !ot
of men greater than he. He was a Mason
and mem Der of the Knights OF Honor
and a familiar figure on our streets. He
was uncalculating in kind acts, and was
willing to give up all he had to pay the
debts that of late had crept upon him.
He had seen good fortune and he had
seen sad fortune. His path to his grave
was bleak aud wintry one, and yet how
many are there here who remember the
days of his sunshine Hundreds of friends
followed him to his last resting place,
where he was buried with Masonic hon.
ors, and took account only of his many
virtues, which in men of kindly heart
murmur on like the harp, "even when the
hand that swept its chords is still.'

W Both Mr. Watterson and Mr. Dana,
in their speeches on the anniversary of the
birthday of the late Samuel j. Tilden, de-
clared thai, though he was thoroughly
confident of the justice of his cause in
1876, he preferred that his case should be
decided by constitutional proceedings and
not by force. If Mr. Tilden had been a
rash, impulsive. overs m bilious politician,
instead of calm, discreet Statesman and
earnest patriot, he might have taken his
seat as President; but physical move
ment in his behalf would have been un-
dertaken at perilous risk of many lives,
and, even if successful, would have pro-
duced feeling of insecurity from which
the country would not soon have recov-
cred. Both Mr. Dana and MIR Watterson
were close friends of Mr. Tilden's, and
knowing him accurately in public as in
private life, they are peculiarly fitted to
give true estimates of the man. Their re-
cent speeches on the lsmented statesman's
life and character deserve to go into histo-
