should be three Aldermen elected from
each ward. According to the actr the
boundaries of tbe wards were defined,
giving to the First ward an area of
twenty-six block, with a valuation of
$90250 and 220 white and 80 colored
voters ; to the irecon I ward an srea of

1875, Congreaa being then in' session,
Mr. Cobb of Kansas introduced a bill
before the House of Representatives
for the relief of the sufferer from these
pests. It authorized the President of the
United States todireet the issue through
the proper officers of the army, tempo
rarily, of supplies of food and disused
army clothing, tvficieitf to prtveni $tnr
vaiioH and offering end extreme want to
any aad all destitute and helpless per
sons Jmojr on tbe western frontier.
who had been rendered so destitute
aud helpless by tbe ravages of grass
hoppers during tbe summer last past,
and to report to Congress such issue of
food and clothing; and the bill appro
priated $150,000 to carry out its pro
visions. Mr. Cobb, in presenting this bill, said
that 111 his opinion this proposed relief
wai the only means to save many of
bis people from the horrors of death by
starvation and exposure. Private re
lief had been bounteon., but inade
quate. The act of God alone had re
duced them to the dreadful extremity.
He also ha-i read a letter from General
E. O. C. Ord of the United States
Army, stationed in that country.
General Ord said:
"I am satisfied that therj is a famine

Kansas, and that probably 30,000 per

Mr. Frederick WaUs to, pi Commis
sioner of Agriculture in, which he says;

WADDELL SAID:
I. u.
JUDGE MeKOr.
Au important qucatiou tbat the peo
ple of this Judicial District arc vitally
interested in in how far Judge McKoy
4 bound to obey tbe uebesu 01 tue
party that elevated him to his office,
and when if ever, durinx his official
life, he will bo free from the political
Bhackela that bind him and the politi
cal influences that surround him. That
he id so bound and influenced is evident
to every observer. Wc have ever been
ready aud willing to give hia Honor
credit for proper motives in exercising
his judicial authority, and have usually
refrained from what wc conceived to be
just criticisms of certain acts of his,
because we were his political opponents
and diJ not wish to even sec in to be
captious or faultfinding. Iu this both
Judyje McKoy and his friends will bear
us out. lut there is a point where for-;
bearance ceases to be a virturc where
eft repeated act, all tending in the
same direction, forces the conclusion
that they are done with a fixed object
As often as his his Honor presides over
a court aud Republicans arc convicted
of violations of law, just so oftcirdo
we see mm sentencing tnem 10 long
A - i All 1
terms of imprisonment, and enforcing
on them the severest penalties of the
law. On the othr hand wc find him
ever read to condone Uic lauus 01
Democrats, and allowing them !o go al
most scot free. ;
When a Judge is seen sentencing to
the penitentiary a K-.-publican lor the
term of live years for the theft of a
chicken, acd allowing a Democratic
ruffian who, with bludgeon in hand,
makes a ' murderous assault on an un
suspecting citizen, with the avowed 1
purpose of committing murder if nec
essary to enable him to wreak his ven
geance because he had boon exposed in
a tilliany, to escape by the impositiou
of a paltry line of a few dollars;
"When we see a Judge ordering a nolle
profeetjUi to be entered in a case in'
which a political frizn-.l of his had. been
indicted for a libel and withholding
from a political enemy that had been
indicted for a similar iffiuse cveu a
common and usual act of justice in the
removal of a cauc wheic uu impartial
and speedy trial might be had, people j
are brought face to face with a startling
state of affairs. Where is the wonder
ful purity and integrity that was prom
ised when Judge McKoy was cauvass-
inz this District for L11 election?
Why Jon' l he give au cccoaiou.il chi
bitiou of il 1 Arc we to have iu addi
lion to hi ofl-repcatcd displays cf
favoritism to bis political friends, other
aud quite as oft-repeated displays from
him of hi veaom and rpile against
Republicans?, Wo arc Juiced to ame
to tho conclusions, that be i not the
lair-tuiudid and hecot JuJgc that he
ought to be, knowing nothing but J-
tiee in tbivxvrcie cf the datics cf bis
high oflice, and i tte s.avc of those
who boiatcd bim iuto his office, and
dare not to rcfuM: to cairy cut their

Y: r. Canaday is emphatically a man
of the people. In 1861 at the age
seventeen years he enlisted in the 10th
regiment, JNorth Carolina, troops, and
rcmaid in the active service of the con
federacy four years and seventeen days!
No skulking with him he fought it out
like a man he never oaoe- had an at
tack of dry grtpes as grasshopper' Wadf
dell always had when he heard tnte fird
of the enemy's guns, nor did 'he once
want to resign his commission ami study
for the ministry as grasshopper Wad
dell did. In 1867 be became Repub-
ucaa and bas been a consistent one
ever since, never having put his hand
to the pisw and then turned back as
grasshopper Waddell did. ' Canaday is
a working man, sure. All that he is
and all that he has he made by his in
domitable energy, pluck and persever
ance, aud while the soles of hi shoes
often wear out, the ' back part of his
pantaloons never have pxtcAet on them.

A JUDICIAL DlfFlCRENCfi
Last year when a white Democrat
was on trial for his life before the Su
perior uourt 01 2ievr Hanover county
for tho murder of a colored man, Judge
McKoy presiding, the case was given
to a jury composed entirely of white
men. The evidence was very strong
against the defendant, and disinterest
ed persons whe heard the evidence
thought that the jury would certainly
bring in a verdict of guily. They were
mistaken a verdict of not guilty was
rendered and tbe accused went free.
At the same term of court, and two
days after the trial here alluded to, a
colored Republican, was on trial for an
alleged assault on a while man, with
the intent to kill. This case was given
to a jury composed entirely of colored
men. , 1 be evidence was circumstantial
and it was not at all probablo that the
accused had committed the crime with
which be wa charged. A verdict ot not
guilty was rendered, and he went free.
Upon the rendering of this judgment
of not guilty-in favor of the negro by
the negro jury, one ol the most remark
able scenes occurred - tbat waa erer
witnessed in a court house ia North
Carolina. Judge McKoy, seemed to
entirely loose control of his judgment
and temper, and so far forgot himself
and the dignity of his office aa to pub
licly reprimanded the jury because of
the yerdict they had rendered. A more
severe, tongue lrshing we never berd,
and it was remarked by persons who
were present that his Honor would not
have tiara! to thus insult white men
And wc do not think hcwould. He
presumed on the timidity of the colored
men, and the prutigc of the law which
he pretended to be administering, to be
guilty of an outrage on the sanctity of
the jury room that would be tolerated
no where else in the country, aod not
even her had his remarks been made
to a jury of white men. And to crown
this act cf oppression, be proceeded to
iotimidato not only Ibe twelve colored
men then in the jury box, but bystand
ers also, by dichrgig the jury and
sending them out of court, with ia
struct kh to the sheriff not to allow
any uu of them ever to come Into court
again in the capacity of a Juror !!
The white jury above alluded to
while out coo side rirrg the case commit
ted to them, were guilty of excesses
that we think deserved severe rebuke
at the hands of the Jadge. It is a fact
that they had in the jury room T with
them a jug of whiskey of which they
partook, aad some of them became

The PoT announced a fi-w weeks
since the defalcation of the notorious
Rufus Galloway, sheriff of Iruuiick
county. The amount for which he is
a defaulter is noi exactly, known, but
can be guested at pretty closely. He
has collected the taxes for If 76 and for
apart of lf7G. He is otill about f 2,w.o
behind for 175, though every dollar
be has collected for 1S7C bas been ap
plied to the settlement of 1S75. The
amount then cannot be less than ft ."-'.
AttHe last meeting of the Co mini
sioners this reformer was asked to h j
down, abd one Mr. Otway wa aj-uint
edt&x collector. The Cvmmiiotirr
were very delinquent iu pacing to Gal
loway the j tax book for 157; They
knew he was a defaulter.
