AN UNFIT JUDGE.

The worst result of the restoration OF
the Republican party and their allies u
power iii North Carolina is the lowering
of the tone Of the judiciary. Some OF
the new judges are honest and some are
not wanting in legal knowledge, but there
are others who are VIGOROUSLY unit foi
their high positions. This is conspicu'
ously true of Judge Robinson. Hardly
4 month passes that he does not make
an exhibition of himself. This weeks
Oxford Public Ledger, after expressing
its good feeling for the judge, says:
"There were several unpleasant
features connected with this court,
Judge Robinson, remarking from the
bench. that we had the most ineffi-
cient set of officers he had ever seen,
and that this was. the worst conduct
ed court he had presided over. 1t
is but right to state that the officers
were very glad when court adjourn
ed. for the Judges want of patience
and his irritability were exceedingly
trying and the source of general COM
ment. The Judge further remarked
i'm open court that he would never
come to Oxford again while he was
Judge, adding: II swear | won't"
These and similar occurrences rem
dered the sittings of the court UNI
pleasant TO jurors, suitors and Of
ficers, as well as the members of the
bar.
AS the officials in Granville were elect
cd by Judge Robinson's party, it may
be that he is correct in his criticism OF
them. He know nothing about it.
Oxford, long the home of cultured
and patriotic people, will not cry il
Judge Robinson keeps his oath, Il
swear / won't come to Oxford again,
while am Judge Ii he sticks to this.
Oxford is indeed of all towns most
fortunate.

ALOT OF NONSENSE.

1.-THE proposition to secure troops for
Cuban service from States in which eli.
matte conditions are similar to those of
Cuba" says the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
has found favor with the authorities.
Orders are given for the recruiting of
10000 men from districts in which yell
low fever is frequent, preference being
given omen who have suffered from the
disease There is little ground for doubt
that an army of 10000 could be raised
in three weeks from the swamp regions
of Arkansas, Mississippi, South Caro-
lima and Louisiana"
There are not 10000 immunes, if any
body can be said to be proof against yell
low fever, who will volunteer. The
talk about raising troops in ''the swampy
regions is nonsense. The Spanish bull
lets and tropical diseases will kill men
from the South Carolina swamps as well
as from the Indiana and Ohio river bot

Our nation sought peace; she begged
for peace; she suffered long and was
kind; not till the last resources of peace
had been tried to the end not till Spain
had slaughtered thousands, not till the
oppressor had ground his heel into the
bowels of helpless people, and in the
cover of night assassinated the soldier
sailors of our flag, not till humanity and
all that was noble called to her in tsund-
