A little more than the usual crowd
had assembled at the police headquarters
yesterday morning, which was an indi
cation that something of importance
was on hand.
Marshal Gaskill called the court to
order as His Honor took the chair.
W. T, Burgess was the first called.
He was charged with committing an
assault and battery on John Haley last
Saturday night.
Mr. L. J. Moore appeared as counsel
for the prosecution and stating that Mr.
Haley was unable, on account of the
injuries received, to attend court, asked
that the hearing of the case be postponed
until Thursday morning.
"May it please your Honor," said
Mrs. Burgess, stepping forward, ''can I
speak a word? I wish to state that I
have seen Mr. Haley and he was sitting
up. I want a haliea corpus warrant for
him immediately !" .
' You will have to appeal to a higher
court," suggested counsel.
Mayor "The counsel in the cane ha3
made the statement that Mr. Haley is
not able to be here. I cannot hear the
case without him, ,, The case is continued
until Thursday morning 10 o'clock. Mr.
Kurgewi will give bond tor his appear
ance at that time." ':
Prisoner "Can I be allowed to go out
tor fitteen minutes , on my own re
cognizance?"
Mayor ''I will leave you with the
Marshal; he will give you time to hunt
up your bondsmen. " ;
The cane of EllaSelby for; larceny was
next called and set for Thursday.

Fifty members have paid up the 25
of the law from their homes and farms
and workshops at this busy season of the
year, and paying from their private
funds the necessary expenses attending
four days of arduous service, did not
receive the pay from the county to which
they were entitled. And yet we are told
that the special levy was made for out
standing debts, and tbe regular levy
was for "current expenses."' ft seems
from this that paying. pash to jurors for
services rendered in the court is no part
of the current expenses of Onslow
county. This county is said to be Dem
ocratic, and Democratic officials man
age, or try to manage, its financial af
fairs as well as its politicil machinery,
and the foregoing is a fair recital of the
manner in which they, pucceed, and
have been succeeding for lo ! these many
years with the county finances. Their
success in running the political machine
is shown in the fact that at the last two
elections the county sent Independents
to the Legislature. The late term of the
Superior Court for this county, wa;
held by Judge Gilmer, who is an ex
ceedingly agreeable gentlemen, and who
is regarded as one of the very best cir
Cuit Judges on the bench. His genial
manners, his patience, his learning in
the law, and his fine business habits
and the strict impartiality with which
he dispenses ' iustice, are some of the
many qualifications which pre-eminent
ly fit him for the office he fills.
It is to bo regretted that the attention
of .Tiidse Gilmer was not invited in
open court, to the matter of paying Ju
rors. We believe, if an earnest appeal
in this behalf had been made, and
true state of the Cane had beeu presented
to him. that he would have used all
proper means to correct the evil.

ADDRESS OF CLEMENT MANLY, ESQ.
Mr. Cltairman .It was only for the
last three or four years that it was my
good fortune to know and to love the
pure man to whose memory we meet to
do honor this morning. I Knew him
when the frosts of life's winter had
silvered his hair and rendered venerable
his noble form and courteous manner.
What was his youth? what was the
fresh spring of his life? what was the
generous manhood tne rich, golden
summer l can only tea trom the
fruition of the autumn,, hanging like a
laden tree burdened with the fruit of
virtues that can know no decay virtues
that live eternal and that illume with a
lustre the crown of human character as
stars lighten the dark sky. To every
office of his life he brought that manly
purity ot character, that none knew
him but to do him honor. In public
office or in private trust, in every po
sition, he carried with him an influence
for cood, which breathed upon the com
pany like an incense vulgar expression
was stilled in his company as in that
of wives and daughters; ribaldry was

The General Conference of the M, E-
Church South convened this morning at
0 o'clock in this city. Bishop Paine in
the chair.
Bishop Kavanagh read the 259th hymn
(which was sung by the whole body),
and then prayed a most appropriate and
touching prayer.
Bishop Pierce read the 62d chapter of
Isaiah, and Bishop Keener read the 3d
chapter of Ephesians. Bishop McTyiere
read the 887th hymn and Dr. J. E
Evans, of Georgia, prayed.
Tho roll was then called by Dr. Left

Dr. T. O. Summers was elected, by
unanimous vote, Secretary, with Drs
viuril and Leftwich as assistants
Dr. R. A. Young delivered an appro

The time of meeting and adjourning
kvas fixed.
The Presiding Elder and the pastors
held in New Berne, last week, at which
were present citizens of this and also of
Jones county, known to the writer here
of, 33 Jurors. Those Jurors received
their full pay for every clays service,
and their mileage too, in Cash. That
court is also presided over by an able,
upright and impartial Judge, but a Re
publican in politics. That court is of
ficered by Republicans, and its officers
are appointees of a Federal Administra
tion, also Republican in politics.
The court officers in Onslow are Dem
ocrats, or claim to be such. Further
comment is unnecessary.
