If the jury believed Goebeis death resulted from a conspiracy, even though the original intention of the conspirators was not to kill Goebel, and the defendant was absent when the shooting occurred. the defendant was guilty. The instruc- tions were strongly for convictions. The arguments began at .2:45 p. m.. with four hours allowed to each side.
 Judge Jere Norton of Lexington made the opening speech of the defense.

TO SECURE CAMP GROUND.
Congress Has Authorized Four and
 Alabama Will Try for One.

Washington, October 25.-(SpecfaI. )-An effort will probably be made by Alabama members of Congress to secure for the State one of the four camp grounds au- thorized by the last army act Under the authority conferred upon him the secretary of war will shortly announce the appointment of board of army of- ficers, which will cause preliminary ex- aminations and surveys to be made for the purpose of selecting four sites, with a view to the establishment of perm anent camp grounds for the instruction of regu- lar and State troops.
 Ten thousand dollars was appropriated for the work by the last Congress. The War Department is already in receipt of letters requesting the board to visit about forty locations. In many cities commft- tees have been appointed to estimate the value of proposed sites in order that fun information may be placed before the board. Excellent railroad facilities will be considered requisite to selection
 The findings of the army board will be transmitted to Congress by the secretary of war and that body will pass upon the recommendations.

Admiral Sampson Arrives.

Coming to this point. the witness said: "On June Admiral Sampson arrived. He brought with him the New York, Oregon and the Mayfiower, and steamed down to the westward, a little to the inside of the blockade. He found us at that time just in. making the turn, and I was invited on board. He was very cordial, very glad to see me, and explained to him the situation and the fact of the reconnois- sance. He seemed very glad to find out the situation there and pointed out to him the Colon lying in the entrance.
 Captain Lemly: If the court pleases. we are getting beyond the courts juris- diction of the scope of precept."
 Admiral Dewey: "As understand, he Is turning the command over to the com mander-in-chief. want to hear that. would like to hear that part"
 Continuing, Admiral Schley said: q handed him a number of dispatches, ex- plained the situation and told him the form of blockade that I had maintained, and I heard no work of complaint from him. In fact, in view of the telegram of congratulation, I supposed naturally everything was approved. Admiral Samp- son and myself were always cordial I never had any difficulty with him."
 Admiral Dewey: You have turned the command oyer; now go on.''

Once on board he had, he said, engaged in a conversation with Captain (now Ad- miraD Higginson. "I was not excited he went on, nor nervous, for I need not have undertaken the reconnaissance had 1 not desired to do so. I had some regard for those standing on the turrets think ing they were exposing themselves to danger from shock, which was unneces- sary, though I was differently circum- stanced, and so expressed myself. Com mander Potts is in error in saying that I took advantage of cover. did not, for I was not concerned about myself"
 Speaking of the range of 1000 yards the admiral said Commander Potts had him. self reported on that range and he (Schley) had not known for several days that the range had been changed "The moment we began firing" he went on, the shore batteries responded, some of them using smokeless powder"
 There was quite a stream of protec tiles, and was impressed with the idea that they must be from guns of or R. inch calibre The shot from the Zocapa battery evidently reached the fleet Some went over our ships and one behind be- yond and over the Vixen, which was half a mile distant.

Governors predominant trait of charac-
ter--his violent passion and prejudice

And if so, do you think this predominant
trait is in any wise a qualification for

ity and yet there was mot a Democrats
orator in North Carolina in 1898 and 1900
that did not unhesitatingly pronounce
Russell's unjudicial temperament as one
of the chief evils that befell the State
when Russell became its Chief Magis-
trate. We have no doubt that in point of
legal lore he is easily the superior of
either Judge TimberlaKe or Colonel Cook
but his fitness for Chief Justice is another
question.
Dollars to doughnuts that Democratic
lawyer who advocates his appointment
ate dirt when he made the statement.

THE CHIEF JUsT1CEsHIP.

If Governor Russell should appoint him-
by the Lieutenant Governor would be
sleight-of- hand performanee)-every Dem
Ocrat in the State. who puts partisan ad-
vantage and party success above every
thing else, would rejcice at the crime the.
retiring Republican Governor had COM
mitted. The people of all parties would
cedure, and the impulse of Jealous DEM
ccrats, on first blush would be to hose
that the crime against decency and the
degradation Of the Supreme court bench
would signal the end of the present dis
graceful Republican administration. 1t
would so disgust the voters as to make
Republican success impossible for a
quartz" of a century. Therefore, if Gov
ernor Russell shall appoint himself Chief
Justice, some Democratic partisans will
feel like thanking him for fulfilling the
predictions they have made of Republican
inoapacity and Republican unwo"thiness.
II the office of Chief Justice were mere
political office. these Democrats might
lie excused for wishing to see the con-
templated crime against deceGey consum-
mated.
But there are higher considerations than
position of Chief Justice is the most ex-
allied one in the State. 1t has been filed
by the greatest legal minds the State has
produced. They have come into their po-
sitions because they have been learned
in law, of judicial temperament, free from
yielding to popular clamor on the one
hand and free from corporation dictation
on. the other. There has been no stain
upon their title to the office. Not one or
them ever stopped to appoint himself or
10 use a political office as a springing
board upon which to land on the bench.
1t is a great office-an office that de-
mands legal ability, but demands more
than knowledge of the law and ability to
write opinions 1t demands judicial
qualities. They are not easily defined.
but we'll understood. Judge Smith and
Judge Merrimon. of our day, measured
up to this requirement. Both had been
prominent in the political field, but they
had that dignity, that steadfastness, that
uprightness that made all men say. no
matter how much they disagreed with
their opinions, that they were fit to fill
the high Office which they honored.
Governor Russell has no single element
OF fitness. outside Of his knowledge of
the law. and he does not rank with the
States greatest lawyers. He is a man
of impulses. of moods, of preiudices in
stead of convictions. He is choleric, vio-
lent, vicious against any cause that is not
approved by him, and easily influenced by
those who bend "the pregnant hinges OF
the knee, that thrift may follow fawning."
His record as Governor has shown his un-
worthiness and his unfltness for official
position.
But if he were in every way qualified,
TO appoint himself as he would practi-
cally do if the scheme suggested should
be carried out, would be so monstrous a
perversion of power as to win for him
the contempt of the tar and the people
of the State.
