be obtained against the Governor and
Attorney General in any case that did
not involve the life or liberty of a citi-
zen. And can hardly think it would be
useful or proper then till court, If hear
ing might be had then. But this last
Legislature. which might be supposed to
represent the honesty, wisdom and patri-
otism of the people, in their proceedings
have gone so far from my views of their
duty that / confess that my opinion is
worth very little.
People around me, often say that L gen
orally answer a question, or state my po-
sition by telling an anecdote, and this is
no exception.
In the Legislature of 1S72-73 Col.
FL. NJ. Waugh was a member Of the
House from Surry-had been one several
times before. In that body there were
several negroes We had not got used
to that part of legislation then.
The ministers Of the different churches
in Raleigh, by turns, would come in each
morning and pray for US. Finally the
colored members asked the Speaker to
let one OF their color pray for members
one time. and the Speaker told them he
would, and to have their preacher there
next morning when the session opened.

washington Starr

washington STAR
Judge McComas has over-ruled the mo-
ton for new trial of the Van Riswick
will case, and the case has been appealed
to the Court of Appeals.
The controversy arose over the will of
the late Mary Van Riswick, her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Martina Carr, charging that
the instrument was procured by undue
influence practiced upon her mother by
Wilton J. Lambert, Mrs. Van Riswick' s
grandson. The trial was concluded the
I'd of this month, the jury setting the
will aside. Thereupon Mr.. Lambert
moved for new trial, with the result
above stated. If the action of the trial
court is sustained the estate, said to be
worth nearly 100000, will be equally
divided between Mrs. Carr and her sis
ter, Mrs Tallmadge A. Lambert.
