' The Grounds Upon Which Governor Car r Appoints to the New Judgeships Governor arr threw a bomb into the Fusion camp yesterday, When the Fnsionists abolished the Criminal Court of New Hanover and Mecklenburg, and the Criminal Court of Buncombe, their object was toTfhj out Democrats and give places to the followers of Fusion. So two new circuits were created, Republicans and Populists .in joint caocns nominated, and thd Legisla ture elected Senator Charles A Cook, of Warren, judge of the Eastern cir cuit, and Representative H G Ewart, of Haywood, judge of the Western , circuit They considered the mat ter settled, and the pieall ready for slicing, , -vGoyernor Carr has at one blow knoc'&?d the pie out of their greedy hands. YeaJerday he announced that he had appointed to preside over these two pffCtrfts'Jpdge Olive. P Meares for rtie Eastern and Judge Thomas A Jones for the Western. Fnsionists didn'Nltnow precisely the meaning of this move. ' A reporter'saw Governor in his office at the executive mansion on last evening. The Goyernor was asked his rea son for making the appointment "It is the Governor's prerogative," he replied ; "this prerogative has been infringed upon. I claim the right to appointthese.oflicers. The question is a constitutional one, and.will no doubt be argued be foae the Supreme Court. The matter hinges on Section 30 of Article IV (Judical.Depirtment), which reads as follows : "Section 3i), In case the General AssfmbW shall establish other courts inferior to the Supe rior Conrt, the presiding officer and clerks thereof ;6hall be elected in snch manner as the General Assem bly may, from time to time, pre scribe, and they shall hold their offices for a term not exceeding eight years." It is plain that the General As sembly must fix the manner of elect ing these officers. But has it theright to fill the vacancy nntil an election is held ? It is the prerogative of the Gov ernor to fill all vacancies by appoint ment for the remainder of the term. Only the Governor has this right. The General Assembly has not only fixed the manner and time of the election, bnt has selected persons to fill the vacancies '-until the elec tion. In domgthis it has stepped beyond its bounds, and has infringed on the prerogative of the executive. " And the Governor refuses to re icqmsh his constitutional rihta. Raleigh Observer. Jnst Think.

The fire spread with great rapidity through this building and in 20 minutes after it had 8 tar ted the whole interior was one mass of flameB. The wind was blowing a gale and the flames were carried to the top of the five-story brick building, north of the English building, occupied by the Western Newspaper Union and the Great Western Type Foundry building. Both buildings practically destroyed. In the foun dry was a great qnantity of type and type material, besides six cylinder presses.

A Hurly Negro Doorkeeper Forcibly Detains Representatives ofthe Peo ple, Laying Hands on Them to Prevent Their leaving tbe Legislative : Hall Very nearly aherionsBreech of the Peaee. A most disgraceful and desperate scene was enacted in the hall of the House of Representatives last night, A burly negro,apparently acting un der the order of the Speaker, stood at the inside door and held it fast with both bands, refusing to allow either ingress or egress. He was acting as doorkeeper and his pur pose was to prevent Democratic members of the House from leaving the hall. Capt. R B Peebles, member from Northampton, and Mr. Lee, member from Haywood, came to ;the door, and finding their way barred by the negro, demanded to be let out. The negro refused, and a struggle ensued, which came near prodncing a riot Several negroes standing by rushed to the assistance of the negro door keeper, while other by-standers took a hand in aid of Capt. Peebles and Mr. Lee. About eight or en peo ple became involved in a violent struggle and surged back and forth in the House, some trying to pull Capt. Peebles back in, while others tried to open the door and push him on t. Fortunately the door flew open aud he was released from his.po Mtion. Hal not the struggle ter in inated quickly, it is likely that a a serious riot would have resulted. Thus the record of this Legislature closes with the crowning infamy of a bnrly negro door-keeper using physi cal yiolence on Representatives of the people withing the Bacred pre cincts of,the halls of the Legislature... Never before has the.S late been brought to such depths of humilia tion and infamy. Not eyen m the darkest night of Reconstmction was the black hand.of the African laid upon the shoulder of men whom the people sent as.their.Representatives, What is thepurpose of this in famous violence? Is it to provoke blood-shed. Is it to solidify the negro by de grading and insulting the whites? Was it a conspiracy spawned in the afternoon caucus ? Why diu the House refusejto have a white Confederate soldier as door keeper and elect instead a burly negro ? Why did the General Assembly re fuse to adjourn in honor of Wash ington and Lee and yet adjourn in honor of Frederick Douglass ? Why was a negro selected last night to use physical violence on white .Representatives ? There is some infamous pnrpose in the diabolical record. Bnt it can not be accomplished. We warn the colored people that they are being nsed to kindle a fire that cannot easily be extinguished. And we warn the white men that a day cf reckoning is coming. 'We will appeal to Canar," sail Mr. Ray last night. And there will be no doubt about a verdict! SnbmltH for Manslaiignter. Caleb Church, indicted for kill ing the six-year-old child of Nancv Owens, in Mulberry township, came into open court Thursday morning and submitted to a verdict of man slaughter and upon the recoraenda tion of Solicitor Mott the court sen tenced him to six months in the connty jail . Our readers remember the cir cumstances of the child s death, which were published at the time. Church and another one or two went to Nancy Owens' tke mother of tbe child, carrying some liquor with them. They all, the child's mother amoBg them, got on a kind cf jubilee frolic. And while the rest were feeling so. good. Church gave the child some of tbe liquor, perhaps two or three drinks. That was on Fiiday night and the latter part of last November. Next day Church went over into Watauga, and that evening, Saturday evening tbechild died. A coroners' inquest was held and tbe verdict was that the liquor had killed t he child. The grand jury found a true bill against Church, with the result as stated above. Wilkesboro Chronicle.
