I I V The union time: ? ? ^ | ^ J It was right fuuny to see how ouc prot inent liieiubcr of the convention last Mot day labored to prove to the members of tl convention that it was not Couscrvunv Whatever name may be given it, it w a Conservative meeting, and if the ticku e acted it will be a Conservative victor; and nobody would be more rtady to elai 'I as such than that very geinhiuati. Wit suuie ol'ihe members were opposed to pu ting on any Reformers at ail, aud it is we kuow that those that were put on were pu there simply to strengthen the ticket. Judge Uoff has bowed to the decision i the Court of Appeals tiud dismissed the Govt dy Registration case. We have no duut this will streugtheu his chance for the pre; iuency, if indeed there wcreuny doubt aboi it before. lie still holds to his former view in ( hA rnnin. hut (fves oil In tfiiV. "" *"* ? ? c. ? * "Nevcrilieless, while I culeituiu thes views, my great respect lor the Circuit tout of Appeals, my desire to properly regar the ulticial proprieties, aud uiy duty to gm dae weight una authotity to the decismu aud opiuiou of the Appellate Couitsol'th Luiltd States compel tue, tiuJiug us 1 do lliat this case in its material allvgutiou its due scope aud eltccts, is iu fact siunlu io the .Mills case, to which 1 have relcrreto iciuse the injunction asitcd ior auU dis uiiss the coniyiaiuaul s bin, and suoii : decree will uow be entered.' We were very Sorry thut .Mr. Wni. Muu ro was called away from the Conveutiou ti that Cotton Mill meeting last Monday just when he was. We be ieve that but for tha the meeting would have a^ourucd till tin loth August, which would have in can l mi die, as some one suiJ. Me commend tin wisdom aud sound judgement of Mr. Muuro lie has placed htnisell on record as a Irtciu to his couutrv an I his county because lit was iu favor of peace, and discountenance* openly a nioveuieni calculated to stir itj bitter feeling between neighbors. We were much surprised aud very sorr ut the action of the couveut tou last Monday It looks to us like a step wholly uuuecessa ry, the ouly result cf which will be to tea open old wounds that were rapidly healiii) aud rekindle factional feeling. We wen in favor of a division of delegates befon the primary because we thought it wouh foster peace and harmony, llut tiller tlx people have voted iu the primary we sa^ that ought to settle it, especially as tin primary was open to every white man am any who would might have run there. 1 it were true that none but Heformeis couh have been elected in lite primary the on'y reason for it would have been for want o white votes, and it was said several time: in the convention the other day that it w.n not the object to use the negro vote. How cau anyone waul the place unless bis scr vices are desired by a majority of the tvliiti voters of the county V It looks to us like at unwise move calculated to stir up strife. m ijuite a question arises as to whether tin names that the conservatives have put on constitutes a ticket. They said thai ihcii object was to have the new constitution sen back to the people, and they propose J Ilia those whom they put on their ticket shottli pledge themselves to use their inllticnee it that direction, and their objection to the pr.i niary ticket was that it was not so pledged Well we arc quite sure, in fact we liavi taken the trouble to find out, that a part o their ticket will not pledge itself. We ill not tec how an intelligent and patriotic mat could be asked to pledge liiinscll in advauci of the urgumcuts much less do we are Ion the man himself could agree to do such ; thing. We would never lend our vote t honor a man with a si at in the coiiveulioi unless we bad conlidence enough in iiim t believe lint the w< ttld do the best lie eonb for us, under till the circumstauces, alter h got down there We shall bo surprised ver inucli if a single iiiuu on the ticket agrees t pledge hiui.'c'f absolutely.
