A SUPREME COURT'S OPINION OF 'AN EX-JUDGE..': . . It is to fe 'wondered what sterity will think of this generation f North Carolinians when it comes to read the next copy of the North Carolina Ke ports and finds in these the feupreme Court's opinion of the character of a man who lately occupied a sfeat upon the bench and ministered at the altars of justice. It is to be hoped for,the sake of this generation that posterity, read ing this opinion, may be able td turn to a reliable history of these tirpes and from it learn how it was possible that such a man as the defendant inJEgerton Ys. Logan should ever have gotten him self into the ermine. ; Our readers would perhaps; like to know something of the merits, of this case. A lawyer has recited to us the facts and these are somewhat' as fol lows: A number of years agO, while Mr. G. W. Logan was a practicing law yer in the village of Iiutherfojdton, be fore he was ever elevated to a. judge ship, "an ignorant and unlettered client," one Egerton, went to him with certain notes to place in his hands for collection. The notes on thejr face called for about 2,250, though we do not profess to be perfectly accurate as to the figures. Logan looked at them and knew that the paper was good. Turning to his client, he expressed grave doubts as to his ability to-collect a dollar on it, "but," he added, I will take a risk on it; I will give you $200 in cash for the notes, and then if I can realize on them will pay you what I collect, less the $200 and the fee for collection." (Again, we are not entire ly positive that $200 was the exact amount of purchase money paid for the notes, but this is in the immediate neighborhood.) The client, trusting fully to the integrity and judgment of his lawyer, acceded to his proposition, received his money and went his way. Mr. Logan collected the face value of the notes with interest. t Egerton hear ing of this some time afterwards, ap plied to Logan and asked for his money. Logan declined to make any return whatever, saying that he had pai(J $200 for the notes in the beginning and, having bought and paid for them they were his and he alone was entitled to what might be realized upon therp. Egerton, finding his counsel obdurate, entered suit against him for wrong fully withholding money which did not belong to him, and, the case having just been passed upon by the court of last resort, the dishonest lawyer is confirm ed in the possession of his ill-gotten gains. Undoubtedly the court has con strued the law properly in holding that Egerton is not entitled under the cir cumstances to recover, but to an honest man, a man of any sensibilities, a man who desires to live in good repute among his neighbors and, 'nearing the grave becomes the more anxious to leave behind him the incense ot a, good name, a paltry $2,000 would be but a poor price for having it said of him by the highest judicial tribunal of his State, that, "whije feeling itself bound so to decide by the letter of the law, it expresses its strong disappropriation of the great wrong and fraud perpetrated by him upon an ignorant and unletter ed client." The Press Association. The re union of the newspaper fraternity of the State, which began Wednesday and has about now ended, has doubtless proved a pleasant occasion. The one day's business meeting was held in the elegant little city of Goldsboro, and leaving there Thursday the brethren stopped at Raleigh, dined at the Na tional, paid their respects to His Excel lency the Governor in a body, arid set out in the afternoon for Glen Alpine Springs, the proprietors of which bad tendered them the-hospitalities ot tljis charming resort. The notable business of the day spent at Goldsboro was the delivery of the opening address by the late president of the association, Col. W. L. Saunders, the reading of the an nual poem by C. C. Manly, Esq., arid the delivery of the annual oration by Col. J. D. Cameron. This latter has ot yet been printed, though it is to be hoped that it will be for the sake 61 those; who were hot so fortunate is to have heard it. The association chose its new offi cers with excellent judgment, and we trust that the re-union has proved agreeable and profitable to all who at tended. ! ASSISTAKCE rOR 'SlirFEREBS.-fThe people of Charlotte, it is to be hoped, will not be behind in contributing to the relief of the distress which it i&iBtat ed exists at Beaufort Xbccalls for $hai ity should never be disregarded when the subjects are worthy, and -'in: this instance they are peculiarly binding up on us,' for those people' are North Caro linians like the rest of us. If it ''shall be found expedient to enter upon! any general efforts for the relief of the peo ple of Morehead City, Beaufort,! and Carteret county, we are sure thatf the people of Charlotte will maintain their well-established reputation for liberali ty, and respond -to such calls as are made upon them, promptly and gener ously, .-'.if, .ot.' : 'i The Detroit' Pree Press takes a rosy view of things. In its opinion it is not material at all whom the Republicans nominate. The States which were car ried byhe. Democrats in 1876 will be again carried by them in 1880, and! the voice of the people, as expressed atj the noils, will be truly recorded in the' de claration o theelectoral vote, j Thja of itself would settle me question oi the TWPaidency. but the Democracy propose to add aeteral Wef. tpthe, Democra list of 1876. -.g y n tires, "tenr part Every nicmicii. ---.. i.niu anew.

' THE TAZOO BUSINESS.' - The Republican press and politicians will lose much - of the ' ammunition -which the Yazoo county outrage Jtrould have furnished them, by reason; of the unanimity which has been manifested in the denunciation of the outrage by the Democratic press, North and South. A crime such as that can only be etaang ed in fairness to a county, a State or a section when ttie mass of the people of either of these divisions" seek to pallate, apologize; for or defend it. In -this in stance not only A the leaders of thought in the Democratic party in the country and in the South, but even those in Yazoo county denounced the wrong, and the responsibility for it rests solely upon those who were actu ally engaged in . the perpetration of it They and their act have been repudiat ed by the majority of their fellow-countrymen better men and better Demo crats than they by the Democratic party of Mississippi, of the South and the country. It is no argument against the Church that bad men are found in it; it is.no argument against a circulat ing medium that it is counterfeited, and no more is it an argument against the Democratic party that hot-heads and even murderers are found Within its ranks. The party, as a party, is re sponsible for thects of those only whose acts it 'endorses,' and if'-this proposition is true the Democratic par ty cannot certainly be held chargeable for these late outrages, since its presses, from one end of the country to the oth er, have put forth unanimous denuncia tions of them.. As.talb.e feeling in Mississippi, here for example, is an ex tract from the Oxford Bagle, one of the most intensely Democratic pipers in the State: . , i 'J ( - "The little handful of 300 riofeW in Yazoo county are no criterion from which to judge of the Democracy of a whole State. The party, as such, is in no way responsible for it She repudi ates all such acts." And to this we add an extract from the Mississippi Sun : r "The Yazoo affair has excited consid erable comment We allude to the act of the citizens of that county forcing Dixon to come down as an independent candidate for sheriff. It is all wrong it is wrong in ' principle, in political morals, wrong- in policy. There is no crime, nothing urged against his char acter, and if the Democrats of Yazoo cannot elect their men without intimi dating opposing candidates, they had better give up the contest" While for the killing of Dixon, in Yazoo county, Miss., nobody except his murderer can fairly be held responsi ble, fuller intelligence concerning the bulldozing proceedings, which preceded this, puts this circumstance in a better light. It was only a portion of the party that attempted it ; the leaders of the par ty would not sustain this faction, and tbe l sue between the Democrats and Inde pendents will be decided at the ballot box. Statistics of the production , jn the outhJn each year fiomj 870 to J878, in clusive, of cotton, sugar and tobacco, show that tlie crop of 'cotton in 1878 .was about 400,00$ bales, larger than-it was in any preceding year; the produc tion of sugar 53,000 liogsheads larger, and the yield of tobacco greater by 12, 000,000 pounds the totals for the year being: Cotton, bales, 5,200,000; sugar, iogsheads, 212,000; tobacco, pounds, 572,000.000.

The Re publican congressional campaign com mittee, in whose charge is the collec tion of the assessments on the govern ment employes, have been applied to for more funds for Maine. The Maine Republicans send word here that the Democrats and Greenbackers seem to have plenty of money, judging from thi vigorous canvass thev are in akin c Such a canvass, they sav. can be main tained only by a lavish outlay of money. ii is saia mat most or. trie $1,700 paid to Returning Board Casanave was taken ronvtue funds of the. congressional committee. Secretary Sherman says he thinks it the duty of every patriotic Republican to come forward and con tribute to the relief of Casanave be cause of his heroic work for the party in Louisiana. The . Secretarv left for Ohio in a high state Of indismation at Casanave for having made public his grievances against the administration, as it was purely a private matter and in no way the business of the public. The Democratic campaign committee here take a totally different view of the matter, and will issue the statement in pamphlet form for distribution as a first class campaign document.

Pearson, Superintendent of Public Ed ucation of Harrison county, killed Jno. D. Conkerton, of New Orleans, between 3 and 4 o'clock this evening.

Conkerton advanced on Pearson. Pearson drew a pistol and fired. Conkerton started to run, and Pearson tiled again.
