is the1 official report of the proceedings
of the .Contention. Ihe - counties
were all .represented, and the nomina
tions regularly made. It might.be ask :.
ed,how would Col. Hoke have .regarded
the action of that Conservative Party,
if he had received the nomination?
Would he vtot then have considered it
binding on the party ? Would he not
have stood by the nominee? We
cannot but think so. Else why did
he seek the nomination at the hands
of that.Copvention ? We are irresisti
bly reminded of the . fable about the
fox and the sour grapes. These judic
ial honors hang too high for him.
We admit with Col. Hoke, that the
Convention was inharmonious; that
there, ate evidences of dissatisfaction
inourrianksand that there is determ
ined oppositiot to the -ticket. J But
thia ia no justification of his course.
The Convention : was not divided on
Am account.' The discord does not
arise from the failure of the Convention-
to nominate him for the Judge
ship, and the opposition to the ticket
comesKnot' from .Hoke's friends so
much as from Schenck's enemies,
r CoL -Hoke knows as well as we do,
that heia taking advantage of the split
in the Conservative ranks to elevate
himself. He failed to obtain a single
township in his own county; he did not
get a single vote in the nominating
convention ; and he knows that his only
chance of success is to ride iuto office
on the shoulders of his personal friends
and Schenck's enemies. The masses
of the party will not support him.
' The heart of the Conservative peoplo"
may not, as Col. Hoke alleges, be with
Mr,.Schenck, but it certainly is not
with Col. Hoke.
Yes. there i dissatisfaction in our
party; and defeat, do "stare us in the
ace." But that is no justification of
Col. Hoke's course. On the contrary,
to advatioe hiytelf, lie is doing all in
113 power, to widen and deepen the
breach ; to make that opposition more
determined ; to increase the unfortu
nate dissensions in our ranks and to
pread as far as he can "the waters of
discontent. ' We ask, in all candor,
is that patriotic? is it consistent
with the true principles of Con6erva-
ism? Is it right?-
THE -SLIilOTT-ftNEAL HOMICIDE.
Our senior proprietor sends the foN
owing from Statesville:
On Thursday morning the case of

murder -oL Charles T. Neal. in States
ville, enr the Ktrftiay of last February;
allusious to? which have frequently
made1 in the cblumns of this paper,
was called promptly at "9 o'clock.
Much interest has been manifested
in regard to tbistinforttfnate' affair,
ever since its occurrence,, and it was
manifested on the occasion of its first
appearance in Court by the attendance
of citizens, interested to hear what dis
position .was to b made of the case.

thereof, which was, grossly false, or
its details highly colored and exagger
ated to thGi" prejudice-: of : this -defendant,
and a friend of "the' deceased, as

character of the deceased, and4istrib
uted said copies among -the citizens of
Iredell county, traversing the county,
and leaving copies at the house of
many persons, who were notsub8crib
ers to said newspaper.
That all these things have created
a prejudice against the affiant, and his
cause in the minds of the people of
Iredell county, Jbundeti. not on facts,
but on misrepresentations circulated
as above stated, against . this affiant
whilst he was confined, and unable to
counteract them, so that it would be
unsafe for him to try said case in Ire

J. D. Elliott.
Sworn to and subscribed before me
this 28th day of May, 1874.

The prayer of the petitioner being
for the removal of the case to another
county;, the Stato offered no objection.
The defense wanted the case re
moved to Burke county ; objected to
by the State. The State suggested
Catawba; objected to by the defense.
As a compromise the case was remov
ed to Wilkes county and set for trial
on Thursday of the first week of the
Fall Term of the Superior Court for
that county.
It is not out of place for us to state in
this connection, that the newspaper ar
ticle alluded t the in the affidavit was
published In the tntelligentet, of States
ville; was written by the junior pro
prietor of the Observer, then associ
ate editor of that paper, and was the
substance of the evidence, which was
elicited before the magistrate's court,
and fully corroborated when the pris
oner was before his Honor Judge
Mitchell undeft writ of habeas corpus,
npn the. 'application of the prisoner
for the ngh t of bail.
Wc would not willingly do injustice
to the meanest thing which creeps
upon the earth, and v we certainly
would not knowingly make anyhigh-
y colored and exaggerated statement
o the prejudice of a young man whom
we have always regarded with feelings
orfriendship
In thi3, as in all others, our columns
are devoted to the vindication of truth
and justice. We would be glad if such
an era Of-good feeling would be in-
augurated'as would make it no . longer
necessary for us to record such lamen-
able, and unfortunate affairs, but just
so long as they do occur, the public
expect from us the fullest obtainable
details and we expect to give them.

REMODELED AND REFITTED by its
present owner, Robert D. Graham, Esq.,
of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, is
now open for the reception of guests for the
season of 1874, under a
New Management.
This Hotel is Bitnated immediately over
the waters of the Harbor and commands a
fine view of the Bank. Old Topsai 1 Inlet and
the Atlantic Ocean. Owing to its peculiar
situation flies and mosquitoes are almost un
known.
With the tide flowing semi-daily under
the buildine. its attractiveness in point of
coolness and cleanliness is superior to any
Hotel upoti the Atlantic coast.
Tbe rooms are ample and accessible to the
sea breeze, while the addition of covered pi
azzas and the Music U all on the south iront,
affords a pleasant retreat from the glare, of
the sun by day, and a delightful court
thfotJgh which to chase the fleeting hours
"on the light fantastic" by night.
Among the chief attractions of this justly
celebrated Summer Resort is the Surf Bath
ing, and our old patrons will all recognize de
cided improvements, in the neat Dressing
Rooms erected conveniently upon the
beach.
Bathing Houses upon an improved plan
are attached to the Hotel, where guests may
at once enjoy the exhilarating effects of salt
water and learn the art of swimming.
An expert corps of musicians, including a
brass and string band, will add much to the
enjoyment of the season.
The choicest wines and liquors are to be
had at the bar of the undersigned, located
conveniently to the dining rooms. Billiards,
ten pins, and flying trapeze are offered to
those w ho relish such pastime.
Croquet Parks have been arranged for the
use of guests free of charge.
An Rbundant supply of ice has betn pro
vided for the season.
Boats, fast-sailing and well managed, can
be had at anytime for picnic patties or for
visiting such points as may be desired.
The subscriber, aided by courteous and
competent assistants, and a corps of oblig
ing and attentive servants, flatters himself
that he shall be able to give satisfaction to
all who may patronize him, and that the'
season of 1874, under his management, will
be more attractive than any previous year
since the war..
The Table will be supplied with every ar
ticle to be found at the first-class hotels of
the interior, besides oysters, escalops, soft
crabs, turtles, and the varieties of fish
abounding in the prolific waters of the Har
bor and-Gcean. -
