THE BOBESON CASH.'
The proceedings at Greensboroare
preliminary. If Judge Dick issues a
mandamus commanding the Com
missioners to return '- McNeill and
Norment as elected, we presume an
appeal to the full; Bench will be
taken instantly , by the counsel ; of
Sinclair and iMdeMnWagree
with a writer in jthe; IJaleighi JVew
tbat. a Judge of the Supreme;' Court
has no authority ;ta ;issuera h?3nda-
raiis. Was that ; not settled inv the
case vt Brown Turner? The
writer, alluded to asks: If a Radical
"judge can r issue a mandamus com-
ra an d i ng th e County Commissioners
' era of Robeson t grant Certificates to
" Norment and McNeill, why may no
" Democratic judges "issue a manda
l; mus requiring the commissioners of
' Wake and other Radical" counties
" to grant certificates to the defeated
" Democratic candidates? ' . ; I
This of course would produce confu
sion worse confounded. Two sets of
candidates would stand and clamor for
admittance. The News' j correspond
ent says: "To obviate such an absurd
ity, lenislatiyo bodies always judge
" of the election of their own members.
".Court have no control in such mat
ters. There is neither precedent
" nor law for it." ' ' j
This correspondent then ; gives his
inference from the scheme of the
Radicals: " By law, the Convention
"is to be organized by j a Justice of
" the Supreme Courtr or if none at-
tend, by the Secretary ; of Sta,e.
u The Secretary of State, Mr. Hower
"t9n, is understood to take this posl-wtiop,-and
if we err we will cheer-,
w fully make the correction." f
" We understand "'-Mr. ,Howertons
"position to be that if he has to swear
"in the Convention, and the defeated
"Radical candidates f roin ; Robeson

This may be the bold and revolu
tionary course which ; the Radicals
wish to pursue, but we must say that
we give them credit for just a . little
too mueh sense to "tryit onw in the

through f our bead that . the.; whole affair,
might not inaptly be called a f "pocket railr
road." And yet 'it is i not a, short railroad

conarruction--OnTy1 too- much '-' bent upon
itself to meet the public taaleJ - It is cpm-
fortable enough ' rpid, ' too, smooth ' and
well-stocked, and f recently, the rate' of fare
has been fixel at a popular prteer-a matter
of the first necessity inuie conduct of a
successful street railroadL. But somehow it
has long been felt by a majority of citizens-
without their beine conscious of any par
ticular reason for Ihe feeling, perhaps, that
the etreet cars would answer verycwelLas a
convenience for a very hot or rainy day, but
at other times were no of espeqial service td
any one not living directly on the iiae-j-rather
to be , avoided, indeed and - in no
sense to be regarded as a necessity in the
daily life of the city.
We think we can give a lucid expression
to the reason lying back of this state of
public freling by simply Tern arking, as
Commodore Yiinderbilt;5 think, 'remark
ed of some: wild-t road.a while agor" It
cannot succeed because, it leads from., no
whereto nowhere. . Business men do not
use 0 iiecanse It will not carry them from
the neigh boi hood of their place of business
to others at a distance. Strangers do not
u-e it'. because they learn ' that riding over
it will not give them so fair a view of any
part of the city .as can be had in afew short
Wilks. People out .visiting seldom use it,
because they can go from, place to place,
often, by shorter routes and in less time than
" around the block." Church-goers do not
use it so much as they would if it was run
with reference to the hours of service.
Families do not use it for exercise or when
it is not convenient to have a carriage, be
cause it takes them only through a few
familiar streets in the part of the city near
their own houses so that they come back
scarcely feeling they have been away. , ;
Now, we believe that a straight road
traversing the city from end to end or from
side to side" would draw passengers of every
class we have mentioned from-tho parallel
and intersecting streets for a long distance.

A colored man by the name of George
Thompson, who escaped from the' County
Work House two years ago, where he: was
confined uder sentence for twelve months
on the charge of larceny, was re-captured
on Friday afternoon by Special Deputy CL
IL Strode. ' It appears' that Officer Strode
got a glimpse of the fellow the day before
and gave chase to him, but failed to effect
his capture. On Friday afternoon,- bow
ever, be was more lucky, haying discovered
Thompson in the woods, in company with
two other colored men engaged in playing
cards. Thompson ' again 1 attempted ; ! to
escape by ; running, but was finally over
hauled and captured at a point between
Smith's Creek and Union Depot, Jwhep he
was taken to jail and locked up until be
could be transferred to his bid quarters. 4
Thompson says that his companions in
card playing were, Penitentiary "birds
and are probably pfjhe party that escaped
from the Work House where they were

We learn by the steamer D.- MurcJtiaon,
that the river had fallen 'about, five feet at
FayettevilJe when the boat left tere Fri
day morningand that there were nalndi-
cations of a freshet from above. We regret
to learn, however, from this statement, that
the crops on the river have ' suffered more
than has-been -supposedr He says that
about one-half of the lowlands in f which
corn was s planted i were covered 1 with
water, which in most cases was. up to'ihe
ears on the stalks. . Part of the corn so sub-.
merged,' which was planted, late in the Rea

remainder badly, injured;, The long con-
tinuance of the freshet, backed up as it
was by the high water below, followed by
the - hot sun, : must of course have been
more or less disastrous in its results.- In
this connection we would state that ou an
average estimate the crop-in tiie immediate
vicinity will be cut short ' about one-fourth
to one-third the. usual yield, which will still1
eaye a, fair margin. lor. an average crop,
taking into consideration the fact that there
hasbeen more planted this year than usual.
