THE BOCKINGHABI NOMINATIONS The Conservative Convention of the Fifth Judicial' District met . at Rockingham last Thursday and made nominations for Judge and Solicitor. Bartholomew Faller, Esq.' of Fayette ville, was nomThated Tor. Judge, , and S. J. Pemberton, Esq., of Stanly coun ty, was "the choice for Solicitor! : Mr. Fuller several years ago edited with considerable ability the' North Carolina Presbyterian and for many years has .been a prominent lawyer of his section.- Mr. Pemberton is - a young man' Of talent and promise. These gentlemen if sustained by .any thing like a full party vote will be elected by large majorities. Let the gallant Conservatives of .the; Fifth District do their full duty. 1 .RADICAL NOMINATIONS. - . In the Second District the Radicals slaughtered their ablest man, Judge Moore, and nominated Louis Hilliard Esq., forjudge. At'Goldsboro ves- ... - .. - w 0 -J terday after a sharp contest they threw overboard Hon. 0. .R: Thomas and nominated John A. Hyman, of Warren. Ilyraan is a respectable negra who for several Years represented his county in the State Senate. - He had no particular claim, we believe," on his party save in the matter of his color.: He is the first colored man who has. been selected iu this State for a position higher than memlr of the Leeislaturer' It 'seems that the negroes are disposed to go the whole Civil Rights hog and demand a share of the prominent offices. ' 5 TUB NORTH CAROLINA. PRESS .! . . , CONVENTION.;.:. !. ,..7 -i The second session of .the North Carolina Press Association, held in Raleigh during Tuesday and Wednes day, appears from the full reports we have published of the proceedings to have been satisfactory in work and social pleasure.- The Tar Heel' quil; driver never' neslects the social fea ture if oossible to avoid it. The work of the convention was chiefly to dis countenance the taking of advertise ments under t published rates. This practice Wiu iujure any jioci,. , . BIHECT TAXES IN THE SOUTH- .

We felt confident before the meet- ingof the late Judicial Convention that-the -Conservative candidate for Judge in the Third District could be elected by a good, perhaps a consid erable, majority. ' With such a cam didate as Col. McKoy and faithful work in every county t we may undoubtedly . succeed by ' a " ma jority anywhere . from six--hundred to one thousand. The -annexed .volrei in the electioiffor Attorney 'General , -.. . . . , - -... - - - in 1870 and that for Governor -mi 1872 are-lhej grounds of ' our confi deriee.Inv the - con n ties composing thii Judieial TijviQet tiwlajorltytof; Wm. M. Shipp for Attorney General;, in 1870, was 1,003; in 1872; at the. Gubernatorial election, Merrimon's majority was 547. . - So we see that if the Conservatives do as well this year as they did. in 1870 our majority will be one thous and. In 1872 the majority was small er because the success of Grant was greatly dependent on how this State voted, and every means, even .the most unscrupulous, were resorted to to ensure Caldwell's election. There is no such incentive for the Radicals this year; hence, McKoy's. majority ought to approximate, if 'it does not reach Shipp's .majority of. 1870.'. . These figures and all the favorable signs in the political firmament should encourage our,jfrtend$ io make a bet ter fight than they have 5 made--since the war. We cannot see how any man who professes Conservatism as his political creed can vote for a Radical When his own party offers a better candidate for his suffrages. Let all Conservatives and all men whether Conservatives or not who 'desire to see the Judiciary of North . Carolina elevated vote and use their influence for 6ol. Almand A. McKoy, and he will be elected by a considerably larger majority than Shijjp's. Every syllable DenerTed.' ' Here at his hearthstone, where that illus trious son of North Carolina is so well be loved and so highly admired,, it ia unneces sary to say a .word in praise of George Davis. Reprinting the paragraph from the Fayettevilie Gazette" about his eloquent speech at Magnoliaj at the late Congres sonal Convention, which . was copied by Tms Morning Star yesterday, the Raleigh Crescent says: - We are pleased to gather from the above item clipped from the Gazette that Hon. Geo. Davis is again interesting himself ac tively in political concerns. If thia distin guished citizen could be induced tore-enter political life he would doubtless add' a new lustre to the fame of the old North State. Mr. Davis has rather avoided than sought political distinction, and yet he was chosen to discharge the high and delicate duties of Commissioner to the -Peace Conference of 1861,' was without-' solicitation elected to. the Senate of the Confederate States and was eventually called into President Davis cabinet as the Attorney General of the Con federacy. We think it may be affirmed be yond question that as an orator he is un equalled by any of his fellow-citizens and as a safe counsellor aud wise .statesman he ranks second to no man in the entire South.

' The conference was an important one,- and the determination was shown to " push the work through as last as possible. Noticing the District nominees in the old Cape Fear country, the Peters-! burg Index-Appeal sayetht'The action of the i Convention is a graceful recognition of the value and distinction of Mr. WaddeH'sCon-j gressional services; and 'while we do uot! disparage the claims pi other aspirants lor the position, we doubt not the decision of the nominating body was wisely considered. The other nominees are also highly 'compli mented by the press ot the state, xtow, we hope the Wilmingtoniansand their brethren -of the district will go to work and elect their ticket.' North Carolina ought to gain a lew Congressmen in the coming fall elections, , wherein we hope and believe Virginia will oe equally lortunate. n The Clinton Reporter rnns up Col. Waddell's -name at its mast-head and says: In so doing we are confident that we speak truly, when we say that this nomina tion will meet the hearty endorsement and command the support of every intelligent White man in the Cape Fear section. CoL Waddell is a gentleman of emment abilities and irreproachable private character. .With an intellect thoroughly disciplined by long training and experience, and a heart full of the ennobling principles of. the true gentle: man, we proudly present him to our readers as one ia every way worthy tf then regard and support.' t He is an able and forcible debater, and sustained by the thought' that be-is the champion of the virtue and Intelli gence of his district, we believe that he will bear the banner in a manner worthy of the honored name he bears and worthy of the cause whose representative he has -been made by the suffrage ot the gentlemen of the Magnolia Convention; .i -i.um
