Notwithstanding the Suns deep interest
in the matter. IL appears that one VIZ
ginian, at least, desired the name ana
that was the postmaster at AppomattoA'
who suggested II to the Washington au-
thorities, and Congressman Tucker. an
other tolerably well-known Virginian, en-
dorsed it.-Alexandria Bulletin.
Wen, IL Congressman Tucker. In mo-
meat of Observation-Disclosures, endorsed such
a change as that of swapping "Appomat-
tox" for Surrender" he should make
haste to retract 1t, for he did a wrong
thing. The postmaster may not have any
better sense. Tucker surely has.-The Nor
folk Landmark.
The postmaster simply made mistake
which will soon be forgotten H. through
the efforts OF himself and Mr.. Tucker.
Appomattox gets back her old name
However. we believe IL was the post
master. not Mr.. Tucker. who suggested
the name Of Surrender"

Mr.. J. c. Wysor. who is one Of the
Democratic canvassers In the Ninth Con-
gressional District. is making a ''red-hot'
fight against General james A. Walker,
the Republican nominee.
Mr.. wysor makes potent use of the
fact that. Notwithstanding the General 5

memory Of the Lost Cause" he, in
applying TO the President of the United
States for pardon. used these words:
"Your petitioner acknowledges his error

THE coopMAN-PARsoNs CASE.
Grounds Upon which Judge Mclaughlin
Granted a Writ OF Error.

CONVICTION, VA, September $,-tSpe-
cial)-Yes,erday morning Judge William
MCLAUGHLIN read the petition for re-
hearing OF the Goodman case. and granted
a writ OF error. This order or the Court
DELAYS the execution OF the sentence pro-
nounced against Goodman In the County
Court until the record shall have been
examined by the Circuit Judge and the
points raised By the defence passed upon.
A number of afiidagits have been pre-
pared for the purpose Of showing unfair
ness and prejudice on the part of the
fury. and these afildavits are fled with
the petition and made part thereof.
They state substantially that before the
trial certain OF the jurymen had stated
positively that II they were put on the
Jury they would hang the prisoner. and
that one at least had referred to an old
grudge that he had against him. and de-
cIared himself disqualified for jury service
I'm this case 1t is difficult to see how
these things, IL true. can be gotten into
the record, however. and unless they are.
how they can come properly before the
appellate courts As a general rule after
discovered evidence, unless II goes TO
the merits Of the case. cannot be ad-
mitted to change a verdict. This Is after
discovered evidence, but does not 30 to
the merits Of the case.
IN OPEN COURT.
II Is well TO remember however, that
the men charged in the aiiidavits with
being prejudiced asserted In open court
that they had expressed opinions in the
case. but that their opinions were merely
hypothetical and would not IN any way
interfere with their verdict The defence
meets with considerable difficulty in the
case. from the fact that several of the
grounds claimed for new trial are
directly contradicted by the prisoners
own statement on oath. The fourth In
struction for the defence, which was re-
iected by the Court. and is one OF the bills
of exception. directly contradicts the
prisoners statement in its most important
particulars, presupposing sudden and
violent passion which the prisoner swore
he did not feel II Is most probable that
the entire fight will be on he admission
OF the Staples testimony.
