AN HONORED PLACE GOING BEG
GING.
According to Washington reports
the vacant seat on the United States
Supreme Court bench was tendered
Judge Edmunds after being declined
by Mr. Conklinf. and was declined by
that gentleman whose sense of self-re-snecLor
self-importance would not per
mit him to play - second or third fiddle
with Conkling.
It is said that Mr. Arthur is very
much embarrassed by the attitude in
which he is placed by the declination
of these two gentlemen. It seems to us
that it would be a very easy matter
to ascertain in advance whether gen
tlemen nominated for important offices
would accept or not before the nomi
nations are made, and thus avoid a
great deal of trouble and a great deal
of delay sometimes in filling positions
which should not remain vacant for
any length of time.
This thing of appointing personal
friends simply to compliment them is
becoming a nuisance, and places not
only the executive in a ridiculous atti
tude, but also the Senate which con
firms, and is substantially informed
that the man confirmed don't want the
office but is only playing a little game
of buncombe, and recording in his fa
vor an executive and Senatorial en
dorsement of character.
This trifling with honorable positions
, while it rriay be gratifying to the vanity
of the men who do the trifling, has a
tendency to degrade the positions and
make it difficult to fill them with a first
class order of men, for they, as a rule,
like Judge Edmunds, do not like to ac
cept what even less wortby men impe
riously decline, after a long silence dur
ing Which the appointment has been
discussed from one end of the country
to the other, and the question of accep
tance freely discussed.
The honor implied in these appoint
ments is in being the first choice and
not the second, third or fourth, coming
in as a kind of relief, as it were, to fill a
gap as a necessity and not a choice.
Perhapstheuse of a little common
sense in these matters in ascertaining
whether men will or will not serve
when called upon, would prevent these
ridiculous fiascoes and help the public
service.
THE DECLINATION OF CONKLING
STIRS UP THE METROPOLITAN
MIND.

New Haven Kegist r:Tlie country at
large are anxious to do two things, and
will insist upon it sooner or later. One
i3 to allow Grant to have anything he
wants in the way of moneys. We send
our representatives to congress to satis
fy Gr tat. That is wh it they are elect
ed for. It they can't succeed in ac
complishing that end we want men
there who can. In addition we want
an offise created of sufficient impor
tance to satisfy Conkling. It is not a
spanking that he wants, as is common
ly suspected, but an office of sufficient
importance to becompatiblf with his
dignity as a stalwart, ex- enator and
lawyer. The necessi y oil thjse things
is seen at a glance.

A Pertinent Suggestion.
To the Editor of The Observer.
While 'our city authorities are con
siderii g various means of spending the
large surplus in the treasury, one im
portant subject appears to be overlook
ed. To the comfort, pleasure, andhealth
of a city nothing contributes more
thausewerage, good undergrounddrain
age. Scarcely any city is so favorably
located for this purpose as Charlotte.
Each ward has a stream of running
Water through it, with a depression
leading to Biff or Little Sugar creek for
the main pipes. These pipes or mains
need not be more than 10 to 12 inches
in diameter, are made of terra cotta
(burnt earth; and are comparatively in
expensive, while a large proportion of
the pipes would be from 6 to 8 inches
The central portion of the city is great
ly in need of this system of drainage.
The c imfort and health of all are affect
ed by its condition in the summer sun.
According to the usual practice, the
city lays down the mains through the
principal streets and the property own
ers make the connections with them
from their private lots. The cost would
h light compared with the great bene
fits arising therefrom. The system
could be gradually extended as time
a id experience would justify, and now
that we are about to have a supply of
water for public pusposes, sewerage ap
pears to follow as a necessary conse
quence. Water is usea as a sanitarv
element in all cities as well as a fire ex
tinguisher. Much of its usefulness will
be lost, unless it is used a3 a means of
cleansing the city as well as extinguish
ing fire, and this cannot be done by
mere surface drainage, by means of
which the filth is merely carried to some
lower level and then left to swelter in
the sun, and exhale its noxious vapors
in the air we breath, thus producing
disease and death, lfis to be hoped
that this subject of sewerage will be
considered by the city authorities and a
proper system of drainage bo inaugu
rated. Progress.

.Hon. W. R. Cox's Bill for a U. S.
District Court at Raleigh Personal
Notes, Postal Items andPatcnt Dots.
Washington, March 10th, 1S82 The
political metropolis of the country con
tinues much stirred up in mind over.the
declination of Conkling for the position
of Associate Justice oithe bupreme
court of the United States. The excite
ment caused by this event has been in
creased by the fact becoming known
that the place was also tendered to
Hon. G. F. Edmunds, a Senator from
Vermont, and also declined. The po
sition of Associate justice is not offer
fid everv day nor is it frequently de
clined. One must therefore look deeper
than the surface for the occurrences of
the past few weeks. As the matter
now stands the President is placed in a
singularly undignified position. An as
sociate juigeship beingjhawked about
the country is not a spectacle to im
press the people with the dignity or the
ermine.
The President ha3 become sensitive
to the position in which he has been
placed and his friends say that he has
not been fairly treated.
It is now given out as by authority
that the President, recognizing that he
owed his political eminence to Mr.Conk
ling and having had a partial disa
greement at the time Mr. Conkling re
signed from the Senate, desired to show
to him that now that he had the power,
he bore no malice towards him and
would therefore offer him the highest
position within his gift. A letter was
written Mr Conkling tendering him the
position.
He kept the letter so long under con
sideration that the President thought
he was undecided in his mind, and as
if to influence him sent in his name be
fore he received his reply.
The fact was that Mr. Conkling had
written a declination, but the postal
clerks not knowing it was from so dis
tinguished a personage, allowed it to
take the same slow route as ordinary
peoples' mail, or as some say that Mr.
Conkling's hand writing is so illegible
that the clerks could not make it but.
Anyway the letter wa3 several days on
the way when it should not have been
more than 12 hours.
Mr. Arthur, when he found that
Conkling would not take the place, of
fered it to Edmunds, but he being no
warm friend of Conkling's, refused to
play second" fiddle to the mighty Ros
coe, and also declined it.
It is now thought that the President
will offer the place to J udge Blatchf ord,
of New York.
The following is the bill In full, in
troduced by Hon. W. K. Coxe, to estab
lish a district courtof the United States
at Raleigh, in the Eastern District of
North Carolina:
Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United
States of America in Congress assem
bled, That a district court of the Uni
ted States shall be held at Raleigh, in
and for the eastern district of North
Carolina, for the week next immediate
ly preceedins every regular term of the
circuit court of the United States in
and for said district.
Sec. 2. That the following counties
shall constitute the sub-district of Ral
eigh, in said eastern district of North
Carolina, namely : Cumberland, Chat
ham, Durham, Franklin, Granville,
Halifax, Harnett, Johnston, Moore,
Nash. Orange, Person, Vance, Wake,
and Warren.
Sec. S. Tha- the clerk of the circuit
court of said district shall be the clerk
of said district court, and such clerk
shall give an -additional official bond
conditioned for the faithful perform
ance of his duties as such clerk.
Sec. 4. That the dividing line between
the eastern and the western judicial
districts of North Carolina shall be the
west line of the counties of Person,
Orange, Chatham, Moore, and Rich
mond. Sec. 5. That this act shall take effect
from and after the thirtieth day of
June, eighteen hundred -and eighty-two.
Not so Bad After All Another View of
the Picture. ,
New Orleans, March 11. The
Vicksburg Herald says: "The situation
oi tne people or tne yauey is Dan
enough without having it exaggerated.
The great sensations that have been
printed and pictured of the situation
have in our opinion done great harm.
Wheie crevasses Jiave occurred the land
or the greater part of it is for the time
lost. There are very many persons of
the Valley uninjured as yet
We have no doubt that fair crops
will be raised in almost all portions of
the valley, while the people in many
places are inconvenienced and losing
some of their live stock they are not in
such dreadful plight as has been de
scribed; as there are two months be
fore cotton time is past, and the water
is' almost" sure to subside in time to
raise crops.
