THE PRESIDENTS MISTAKE.

IT Is a matter OF regret, we think, that
the President did not nominate Hon. Il.
A. Woodland to be Judge Of the District
Court to succeed the late Judge Seymour.
A matter OF regret because of the strong
backing Representative Woodland had a.
mong the administration friends in
Congress Like Turner, Catchings and
Patterson in the House, and Lindsey,
Hill, Gray, Villas and others in the Sem
ate, and the assurances that Mr.. Wood
ards popularity, along with his fitness for
the position, would in all probability have
resulted in his confirmation by the SEN
ate.
Mr. w. w. CLARK, Of Newhern, the
nominee for the place, is one Of the best
lawyers in the State, but of course does
not stand the ghost Of chance of con-
frmation. the great majority Of Demo
