He may be at times impulsive, but he strikes square truth and justice at the bottom. He is an example to the judiciary in that he gives true digni ty to the bench and is a terror to evil doers.

A New York Commercial Xrmveller In Trouble. A New York drummer, representing some jewelry establishment, was ap proached yesterday morning by Detective Mayer, and requested to show his license, the demand not being made until the offl-' j cer had satisfied himself that he had been offering his goods for sale. The drummei not only refused to give the officer any sat isfaction at all, but, as we are informed. became very abusive, applying an epithet to the deu live which was, to say the least. very provoking, whereupon he was arrest ed and lakeu before Mayor Fishblate. The Mayor heard the case, as well as a confir mation f the abusive language used, which .vas repeated in his presence, when the drummer was ordered to pay - a fine of $25 for trading with out a license, and $20 for abusing an officer in the discharge of his duty, being also required to take out his license in ac cordance with the ordinance of the city, in default of which he was locked up in the city prison to await a more formal investi gation this morning. Stolen Watenea Awaiting Identifica tion. , . Two silver watches have been received from Lieut. T. J. Keidt, Chief of Detectives at Charleston, and are now in the posses sion of Chief of Police Brock, at the City Hall, which were among the articles sent by Gus. Johnson to his "pal" in Charleston. Johnson, it will be remembered, is the co lored individual who was arrested here s few days ago on the strength of information received by our authorities from Detective Keidt; Who had intercepted letters from Johnson to one Ben. Davis in Charleston, from which it appeared that JohnBon had been engaged in thieving operations here and forwarding the articles to his "pal" to sell. The watches are held by CapUBrock for indentification. Got More Tban;Be Bareame For. . A colored man by the name of Jim West, who bad been indulging too freely in "ben zine," went to a store on Market street yes terday and used some very abusive and of fensive language to the , proprietor, whe gave Jeems a "striking illustration" of his displeasure at such proceedings by placing him in a position that required some effort on hi9 part to regain his accustomed equilibrium. He afterwards repeated the experiment with one of the clerks and got a repetition of the dose, when he retired from the field in disgust . It was subse quently rumored that the affair was des tined -to undergo judicial investigation. Wyman. the Wizard. We received information on Monday to the effect that Prof. Wyman would not vU sit this city in consequence of the taxes be ing too high for him. This was the under standing, but by missing telegram which would probably have turned him in a ' dif ferent direction, he arriyed here yesterday morning, bag and baggage, and being once here it was not consistent with the 1 charac ter of the venerable magician to back out and leave without giving an exhibition. Wyman is too well known here to require any words of commendation at our hands. He will open at the Opera House to-night. and a big crowd will go to see him in his magical tricks, feats of ventriloquism, &c. n n i in' ' ;;- Released on Ball. ' ; T ''. i . Magness Isham and John Iaham, the two colored persons who were brought here and lodged in jail on Saturday evening, under a commitment from Justice Mclntire, of Pender county, on the charge of forcible trespass, were released yesterday upon giV ing the bond of $200 each required for their appearance at the approaching term of the Superior court.

C, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1878. Blanop Atkinson In Baltimore. The Baltimore Sun.ot the 25 th instant thus refers to the visit of Bishop Atkinson to that city: BishoD Atkinson, of North Carolina. preached yesterday morning in St. Peter's P. E. Church to a very large congregation. The Bishop is well known in this city, hav ing been rector ol bl reier s, men on Sharp street, for nine years, and also rector of Grace Church. The Bishop made some food points on riches and covetousness. ie said the ideas of Communists and Socialists were simply a dream, and God would not forbid in Scripture what be bad ordained in his Providence, that some should remain rich and others poor. If covetousness, however, was a besetting sin it should be conquered. The great thing for a man was to know himself. Some men should never drink, while others could take liquor safely and sometimes with ben efit, and the same might be said of certain books and amusements. A he Bishop of Manchester had recommended attendance at theatres under certain restrictions. The speaker thought, however, that theatres, cards and dice lowered character. Christ's warning against riches was necessary in this country, where money was the only class distinction and was often obtained unscrupulously. Covetousness was the na tional sin and dishonesty would be the national ruin. Fraudulent bankers, trus tees, office-holders and corporations were slgnB of the nation's decay; they obstruct the power of religion and poison the well springs of affection. Runaway ;anl 8masn Up. A horse attached to a buggy, the proper ty of Mr. John J.

THE CKiniNAI, COCBT. f '- " No. 2. ..; :;;v;;:,' It is urged by those who are in favor of abolishing our Criminal Court, and substi tuting an Inferior Court, as it is called in Us stead, that the latter would . not . only answer the same purpose as . the former, but that the expense attending it would be infinitely ' less than the- present arrange ment.. I propose,, ia this article, ; to ex amine if this be really . so, and to state what seems to me to be insuperable objec tions to that system. . ; .. .. ;.. In the first place, the Inferior Court sys tem is palpably defective, and wnld neces sarily be the most . expensive ofall systems in proportion to the amount of business transacted. jJThis Court, would 'Have juris diction of laVceBy and -that-character of crimes which make - up the great, majority of cases constituting bur criminal docket, and inasmuch as it was not expected that these courts would be presided over by men skilled in the law, the Legislature, in order that no man might be deprived of his constitutional and legal rights, were com pelled to grant to every defendant the right of appeal to the Superior Court. The result would be that every one convicted of a penitentiary offence, or misdemeanor which would subject him to severe punish ment, would appeal to the Superior Court, thus crowding the docket of that Court at a time when our judicial system is such that we can have the benefit of only two terms of that Court per year, and would practically convert it into a Criminal Court alone, to the sacrifice of the public interest and manifest injustice to the people. It would also put the county to the expense of two trials instead of one, as is now the case, for nearly every criminal would nat urally take as many chances as he could to escape conviction, particularly when it could be done at the expense of the county. Again, there is so much corruption in these days that, should a defendant in that Court himself be corrupt, he would discov er both the strong and weak points of the case at the first trial in the Inferior Court, and could produce testimony on his second trial in the Superior Court to strengthen the weak points on his own side, and thus raise a doubt in the minds of a jury which would entitle him by law to an acquittal It would be such an easy matter to raise the doubt on a : second trial that in truth the result would inevitably be the acquittal of a large majority of guilty offenders. In ail probability no lawyer of respecta ble standing would accept the Chairman ship of this Court, as there is but; lit tle or no pay attached to it. It follows, therefore, that a Court ignorant of the law must necessarily hear innumerable argu ments on defects in bills of indictments and admissibility of testimony, and thus consume vastly more time than would be done by a Judge in trying a case; and not being able to instruct a jury properly upon points of law, they would necessarily be in a state of doubt.and the result would again be the acquittal of a large number of guilty criminals. It must be borne in mind that after this year we will have but two terms of the Su perior Court a year instead of four terms.as heretofore. This change became necessary when the number of Judicial Districts was changed from twelve to nine, hence the importance of keeping criminal cases out of that Court is a matter of vital interest to the community, for, should the Inferior Court be adopted, the cases appealed from that Court would soon crowd the docket of the Superior Court to such an extent as to virtually exclude all civil business. The act creating- Inferior Courts confers jurisdiction upon the Superior Courts in all cases of murder, manslaughter, arson.rape, burglary, libel, horse stealing, perjury, for gery, assault with intent to commit rape, and highway robbery. If you abolish the Criminal Court all offences of this kind, together with the appeals from the Inferior. Court, would take up the whole time, of the Superior Court, and we would thus have two Criminal Courts in fact, with six grand juries, while the civil docket could not be tried at all. The effect of establishing the Criminal Court has been to give a speedy trial to all, and a sure and speedy punishment to . the guilty; to greatly diminish crime, particu larly burglary and larceny, and at the same time the opportunity, for the first time in ten years, to the Judge of the Superior Court, to clear up and dispose of . the civil business of that Court. . Before the Crimi nal Court was established the civil docket of the Superior Court (holding four times a year) was never reached except for about one week of the January term, which lasted one month. This great and crying evil no longer ex ists; the civil docket has been so far cleared up that any case can now . be reached in proper time 1... ; Can any stronger argument against the abolishment of the Criminal Court be of fered than this T , : ViNDEX.
