A Knotty Case.
The case of Josiah Turner vs W.W.
Holden caine before the clerk of the
Superior Court thi morning in the
nature of suppleui Diary proceedings.
Mr. Turner, it will be remembered,
obtained judgment several years
since against Gov. Holden for what
was alleged to be false imprisonment
during what was termed the "Kirk
war ' in North Carolina. This judg
ment was, we believe, for about $8,"
000. Not long since execution was
ordered to issue, and on this the Bher-
if made the return "Nothing to be
found." Now Mr. Turner has insti
tuted supplementary proceedings in
the premises alleging he can show
that there are means by which the
execution may be satisfied in whole,
or in part. The proceedings will
probably occupy attention for a day
or so. Gov. Holden is represented by
Cols. Fuller and Hinsdale and Mr.
Turner by Messrs. Jno. Devereuxand
Chester Turner.

lhirleen oil mills were burned near

Official Simplicity.
We are told in the "Arabian Nights
Entertainments," that the Caliph of
Bagdad was in the habit of taking ex
tended walks through the streets of
his capital for the purpose of seeing
for himself just how matters stood
with his people. In othej words, he
made himself the special guardian of
the morals of his subjects, and ex
pressed himself as being determined
to right all wrongs bo far as in his
power laid. In these rambles the ca
liph was usually attendsd by his
Grand Vizier, who can be made in
comparison to correspond with our
most excellent Chief of Police. The
custom of the Caliph was productive
of the greatest good, and there was
no city in the world, at that time,
more orderly, in all respects, than
Bagdad. It was a departure, it was
true, from established custom, because
the Caliph was an autocrat in his do
minions, but he was a good hearted
and noble ruler, and he thought that
official simplicity would best serve to
win the love and confidence of his
people. About 11 o'clock each morn
ing the Caliph would preside for the
dispensation of justice, and his ob
servations gave him ample chance to
"hew to the line" with the strictest
impartiality.
We are led to these reminiscences
by noticing that our new Mayor is fol
lowing a most noble precedent. Un
like the Caliph of Bagdad our worthy
Mayor does not go disguised. He
would find it hard to do that if he
desired, because there is hardly a
man, woman or child within the pre
cincts of his authority who would not
at once discover in some manner his
identity. But he does look around
to see what is going on and he is al
ways on schedule time. For instance,
he is at the seat of authority at the
early hour of between 9 and 10 o'clock
each morning, much to the relief of
such unfortunates as have spent the
night in the basement. He dispatch
es business promptly. He comes
quickly to the point and "nothing
extenuates or sets down ought in
malice." In other words, our munici
pal executive bids fair to be an early
bird, and evinces a desire and inter
est to see as much for himself as pos
sible concerning the proper regula
tions of the city. Now we must not
be understood as hinting in the moat
remote degree that, like the Caliph
of Bagdad, our "Badger" walks
around in the midnight hours. Such
is evidently not so. as his early rising
attests, but, for being early at his
post in the morning and readily dis
pensing of all matters, he could give
the Caliph Haroun Alrischid two in a
game and beat him. With such a
Grand Yizier as Charley Heartt and
the other adjuncts at his disposal,
our Caliph is far superior in all re
spects to the old time renowned offl
cial of the East.

Bibulous Jurymen of Queens
land.
The jury system appears to have its
defects in Queensland as well as in
other civilized countries. Recently
a young man was on trial at Gympie,
and when the jury retired to
consider the evidence they saw
the bailiff lock up the prisoner and
go away for a drink. The "twelve
good men and true"forthwith climbed
out of a window and went to a saloon,
where they were found when the
judge sent to learn the reason of their
delay in reaching a verdict. Result, a
new trial for the accused.
The finest new cut herring we have
seen was received at Uzzle's at t:85
