JUDGE CHA8E.
W publish this morning a short com
aaauioation from a frioud sualoaing a pro
against th nomination of Judge
Chase.
W bops and believe that tbe people of
Vinrmia. at any rata, will alwaya bare
th "conscientious support of a virtuous
courage and an naoomnromieod self-re
spect," and are very sure that "tbe piond
fortitude of an honest endeavor" is about
all that moat of us bare left since the war
Tata is all very pretty talk, bat tf it means
that we bad better lose with Pendleton
than win with Chaae. it seems to us very
unwise talk. It baa taken a vast amount
of "virtuous courage" and "proad forti
tude" to stand radical rule tor tbe last
three years, aad we doubt whether human
nature can supply enough of these qual
ities to stand
much better to sacrifice a little prejudice
now, if that la necessary lo defeat tne
Radicals, than lo be brought to this.
Though Mr. Chase went from the Demo
crats to the Republicans and from the Re
publicans to the Democrats, and though
he di4 fail to declare bis opinion as be
should have done in the Mr Ardle
Still a he ba aosp, taken a stand against

UNION WHITE BOrS IN BLUE.
Throughout the North western States
a most formidable political organi
zation, composed of the former sol
diers of the Federal armies, has been
formed, and is now in successful and
enthusiastic operation, rendering val
nable service te tho caitae of Conser
vatism in that section, and accounts
in a great measme for the recent re
markable Democratic successes in that
locality. The "Union White Boys In
Blue, under which name the organ!
ration is known, is reorgatiiz'ng the
ex military element of these States
into societies, or encampments, and
has met with such marked success
that it will tend largely to equipoise
the influence of the ' Urand Army
of the Republic," a Radical military
organisation under the leadership of
Geoeraia John A. Loiran and Daniel
E. Sickles. Major General John
Love, of Indiana, is doing much aer

now orer one hundred thousand en

When the organization parades

Speculation of am UUm Radical

lican Senator voting for acquittal
claim tbe failure of impeachment as
a triumph of the original Grant men.
They were inflnencea in their course
by a desire to aid in the success of
General Grant and bis West Point
policy. General Grant desired con
viction until the rote upon the ele
veuth article, since which time it is
reported be has favored an acquittal
upon the remainder of the articles.
I have been told Senator Hoes claims
that his rote upon tbe second and
third articles received the sanction of
General Grant. It is admitted that
Gen. Grant need his influence to pre
rent an adjournment to the 23d of
Juno ihns preventing a possibility of
a conviction. There is eery little
doubt but the President would bare
been convicted had the adjournment
taken place.
The campaign is opening as timid
ly on tbe part of tho Republicans si
can be desired by reasenden himself.
General grant opposes the cetracisin
of tho Senators voting to acquit the
President, and has more confidence
to day in Henderson and Trumbull
than in Wade and Sumner. If elec
ted, I bare rery little doubt but
Henderson will be the Secretary of
the Interior, and hare the disposition
of the Federal patronage in Missouri

I MrohT.t nt Decision bv the Chief
Justice. Chief Justice Cbaae, now pre
siding at tbe L nltsd .State Ulrcntt euart
iu this city, rendered a decision in lhe case
of Moore ec Brother, ef Baltimore, against
ter dc Moore, of Norfolk, which will
have a very important bearing on tbe set
tlement of draft, negotiable notes and oth
er commercial paper scut from tbe Con -
federate Pi-thu JJntled bUtjiS during tbe
war. : . . , "
The case in which this decision was
given is as follows: Just before the war
luster At Moore, who lived iu Norfolk,
executed their note for 920 to Moore A
Brother, of Baltimore. This note fell due
after the' war had commenced, and while
Xorf ilk was in the possession of the Con
federate troops. After the evacuation of
Norfolk, Moore A Bro., agreed to receive
from Foster Ic Moore Virginia Bank note
in payment nf their debt. Foster ec Moore
thereupon paid $1,000 in Virginia bank
notes lor
North Carol
of roiismouth for 1 1,000. 1 hey sent
this draft endorsed by Maury & Co., and
Smith tt Co., of Norfolk, to Moore k Bro.
Thy kept the draft and urglectrd tn rend
it tor collection until the Portsmouth bank
some six weeks afterwards, removed its
deposit into the Confederate lines. Tbi
was in tbe year 1 SO a. Tbey held tbe
draft until 1867, when tbey tendered it to
Foster & Moore, who refused to receive
it. Tbey then brought suit on the origi
nal debt,tignoring the dralt.
The ease was heard yesterday before
the Chief Justice. Kach party offered in
structions to the jury.
The t hief Justice then instructed lhe
jury that if they believed that tbe town of
Windsor. N. C, was within the tauteder-
ate line at the time the draft wa drawn,
or if it was not permanently under' the
control of tbe Federal authorities, the draft
was real and no account. Ho said any
draft or negotiable note or commercial pa

any bank or person in tbe Confederate
hairs upon an v ' bank or person in the
Federal lias, wa in violation of an act
ENGRAVING BY MACHINERY.
Two citxens of Lenkesville, N. C,
engaged in the watch and jewelry
business, having occasion to do mncn
engraving on metal, and finding that
seort of work rather stow by Hand,
sought to invent a machine for the
purpose. Their names are J. 0.
Guerrant and 0. J. Field. Truly
necessity is the mother of invention ;
for without any familiarity with the
mechanical arts, outside of their par
ticnlar line, and with nothing to guide
them bnt their own talents, tbey eon
straoted an apparatus that snpplied
their want. One of its earliest
achievements was to engrave the
Lord's Prayer in microscopic charac
ters inside of a wedd ng ring. Under
a powerful magnifier all the letters
are seen distinct and perfect. One
thing loads to another, and io the
course of their labors tbey discover
ed that the same tnechaniosj princi
ple could be applied lo the making of
fine engravings on steel, or copper, or
wood ; to tbe execution of tbe most
delicate medallion and geometrical
lathe work ; in feet, to the perfor
mance of every task whero a graver
is required. Having no knowledge
of contrivances now' exclusively em
ployed by bank note engraver for
ruling and various ornamentations,
tbey got tip s machine which includ
ed a mastery of all that, and all the
common everyday toil of the burin
besides. Such drudgery as engrav
ing the rollers for calico printing, of
door plate, is done as easily aa site
ing encumbers. Pictures or designs
can be reduced with tbe precision of
the photographic camera, the won
er, who can learn the whole art in
two or three hour, has nothing to do
but follow with a tracer tbe lines of
any design, and a sharp point of
steel at other end of a seuos of levers
cuts a plate of metal or a block of
wood. His hand mores with free
sweep of a good penman, and the
graver unerringly obeys him. The
adjustment of of a rod determines
whether the copy shall be the same
size in all respects as the original, or
smaller to almost mnmte extent.
While his hand is outlining letters an
inch long, the steel point may be re
producing them so small as to be in
visible except by tbe microscope. The
apparatus, though rery simple, con
sidering the diverse kinds of service
which it can perform, cannot clear
ly lc described without diagrams.
While it reminds one of Blanchard's
lathe, the pantograph and ruling ma
