While the Press Convention was in session in Raleigh, they visited many peaces of in terest, among others all the female semina ries in the city,, .

H. C. Jones la the Judi cial Convention. The following is a full .report of the speech of Col K C; Jones, of Mecklenburg infthe Judicial Convention at Lincplnton on the 13th. f It ; was oh a reso lution to require a two-thirds vote of the delegates to nominate a candidate for Judge: J; PoeinaiUsdt)i this. resolution was "harrooiQ y'wfth tbe interests; and ttaj pre cedvn's of the great party:.t3 nwhieh; Jie be longed, and he arose to speakln the inter-T of that of UiisJkisLl districLand 'MlT.. .1'.. -'. ' A . 01 woe ocaie. ai large, w Air Means 1 had said with a show of invidious feeling that the in-, erests of "little Polk" were as important as those of great Mecklenburg.. Jhat ss true;, "little Polk had, as ; great interest as Macklenb'urg that she should have a capa ble, a learned, and above all an honest Judge He spoke in no, unkind spirit of ;any candi date that might be : before thisi convention, or of Mr Schenck, who Was likely to be the nominee if the majority rule prevailed; but it was needful that the rights and- interests of the people should be guarded, that those whom they deemed honest "and ' capable should be put in 'nomination, or defeat of the party would be the result.' . Mr Mont gomery,: off Cabarrus ; here interrupted the speaker with the question, "How are we to vote on your resolution,' by- - counties by a vote of a majority of the delegates, or by the legislative representation of each county? Necessarily as they had already been voting. (Mr Means arose to a question of privilege. He meant nothing invidious in ' his remark about great Mecklenburg and ! 'little Polk." He only used the language in Comparison of size as he had said great New York and little Rhcde Island, when speaking of them.) Mr Jones continued his remarks upon the resolution. He advocated this two-thirds rule in no-partizan feeling, and if he called the name of any man here, it was with no invidious spirit. He was ready at all times to lay aside personal interests, when the good of country was at stake. We find our selves in a convention manifesting party spirit. I am ashamed to confess it, that party feeling runs so high here that there is danger of our dividing inour efforts to nomi nate a candidate for Judge. He was here to ask gentlemen to join him in his efforts to put down this spirit. He thought this re solution' would do it.; 1 This two-thirds rule had always been the rule of the great Demo cratic party of the United States, It was in troduced in the National Democratic Con yention in 1844, by a man from North Caro liaa, .who was more cursed and abused than any man in the State. .Different delegations went up to that con ventiou-with their fa vbr-i; ite candidates for President. The party was likely to be divided into factions because they could not agiee upon the man. Judge Saunders introduced a similar resolution to this, and under the two-thirds rtle James K PolH then known . in .politics scarcely be yond the lines of Tennessee, was nominated. That harmonious action carried the party through triumphantly and the great and eloquently Henry Clay wentdown" before them. Mr Clay went dowy because they choose to sacrifice men and not principles or party. The rule was again adopted when Gen Scott was nominated by the Whigs, and the old General with all his military fame, could not keep up in thevrace with their nominee. If precedent establishes any thing then we are to take our cue from the head quarters oS the National Democratic party. The same rule was adopted in North Caro lina in every Democratic Convention after 1844, and many . present remember the re markable contest in Charlotte when W W Holden and Judge Ellis were candidates be fore the Democratic convention for nomina tion for Governor. A bare majority of the convention would have nominated him, but the two-thirds rule was adopted and again the Democratic party triumphed. The Con vention in Wilmington adopted it. Men came there with bitter partizan feelings, but they laid them aside and agreed on a candi date that was acceptable to all. The convention at Greensboro by general consent departed from the rule. It had high precedent as a principle of policy. There is a large element that do not hold themselyes bound to vote for a man because he receives a bare majority-in a nominating convention There are; always gqod men left out in these conventions ; but it is bet ter for ninety-nine good honest and capable men to remain at home than that one jack ass should wear thejudicial ernxiie for the next eight years. I Laughter and applause. There is only one county, the county of Cleayfclahd Which puts JtaCohservati ye. ma jority beyond a doubt and that county sends : up here a divided delegation; -We must lay aside men if men enter into the' contest and cause divisions'among us Our motto should be first country, then men,; and unless we act in that spirit there as . serioiis danger to Our country. , Who is responsible for the state of feeling here to-day? I am not here to say.- The only way to get rid of it, is to adopt that, principle of a two-thirds yotel Without that I don't, believe any man in this conyeution can' command' the eordiai support of this " convention.

In connection with the interest felt in, the movements of Prof W G Richardson, who has accepted the professorship of Greek and Modern Languages ih the above institution, j I have often been asked what this new, Uni-. yersity is and where located. lts situated at Richmond, the county seat of Madison county, Kentucky, a town of 2,500 inhabit-1 ants. Richmond is connected by railroad with Louisville. " It is the midst of one of the finest regions ih "America, healthy and weathy ; and if the people do not "live in clover" it is .because they have.; made np their minds that "blue grass" is better. It is a '-land flowing with their and honey." ; The University is not under State control ; nor is it under ecclesiastical control, except as to the proposed theological department, and that the Synod of Kentucky appoints the Professor of Moral Philosophy. There is a Law School of two Professors. Of the department of Letters and Science Dr, Jo seph Le Conte is the President elect, with a corpse of eight professors; besides himself. The Chancellor of the University is the Rev Robert L. Breck, of Richmond, Ky. The University has an endowment of $220,000. The salary of a Professor is $2,000. From this it may reasonably be judgsd that all things have been organized upon a large and liberal basis. God speed the Central ! May 15, 1874. " Kkhilwobth. For the Observer. Very Unfair. ' Mb. EprroB : Having just seen your strictures on my conduct and language when last in Charlotte, I beg leave to state that I went there in prformanoe-of datjv used my best efforts to behave, and .left 'as soon as my business was transactecf.i I was mortified, but not ''angry." " ' I was; very tar from say' irig anything unkind about, any lady tin Charlotte ; still less was I inclined to dis courage due honors to the illustrious dead. At four places I offered to pay any reasona ble price for a dress to clothe a ragged or phan of a dead soldier, and failed to obtain it. I then went to Mr Wittkowsky and the dress was soon secured. Perhaps many oth ers Would have been as kind. We are feed ing, clothing, and teaching six orphans from Charlotte. Four of these were rescued from extreme degration- Our only object is to do them good. Now it seems very unfair to condemn me without a hearing, and mis represent my words and actions, merely be cause a political paper, the Raleigh Era, in search of party capital, wrote an article for which I am in no way responsible, and I do not even know the name of the editor. I hope you will visit the Orphan Asylum and examine the work it is doing. J. H.MILLS. ANNOUNCEMEBTT.
