W.rth injustice last week in our notice of a paragraph stating that the Governor had pardoned a negro who had een COIlvicted of larceny. We protested against th" '" f rogues. N e could i.ot understand how, after a fair trial and conviction, the crim iiiiil could be justly relieved from punishment. But injustice to the Governor we give the state ment of our friend at Raleigh as follows : The application for Lilly's pardon was made by the prom cut ing attorney at the trial, and was handed to the Governor by the Judge, in person. who presided at the trial and passed the sen- tenc- w,ith hi ql'fi- endorsement written thereon. The prosecuting attorney rep- resented that he had already undergone a portion of his sentence, and that the ends of justice had be,.n a,taj,.d. in that the prisoner, (whom he had seen undergoing his sentence.) had been thoroughly "cured." In addition to this, he rep resented that unle.-s be was released he would . , . . - , . . , . .e- his entire crop of ctt'in and corn, which he hntl Workcd industriously to make, and his wife und children become a charge upon the county. I think I know you well enough to feel assured that under the same circumstances, had you been ai med with the pardoning power, you would have granted the same pardon. If there be any portion of Governor Worth's administration upon which more than anj' other he may safely challenge investigation, it is that of his exercise of the pardoning power. He has adopted it as a rule to grant no pardon except upon the endorsement of either the Judge, Solici tor or Jury the recommendation of the first be ing required where a question of law only is in volved, and that of the two last when questions of fact ure involved aud no man has ever received a purdou at his hands upon a promiscuous appli cation of citizens only. And in cases in which the least doubt arises as to the propriety of grant ing pardons, he invariably requires the combined endorsement of Judge, Solicitor and Jury." Taking for granted that these statements are correct, we feel that we ought not to object to the pardon of such persons. We are in favor of helping and relieving any negro who works' honestly for a living. Sav Accident to Gem. Clixgman. We are pained at learning that this gentleman while riding in a haHs. iu the city of New York, a few days ago, was struck in the eye. by the driver's whip-lash, and it is feared he will lose the sight of tlie eye entirely. In fact, it is reported that the eye ball was completely cut out. We sin cerely hope that the case is not so bad as re ported to us. Aslifville Xcics. We saw Gen. Cliugman in New York two weeks ago, and believe he had almost entirely recovered from the injury to his eyes. The eye ball was not cut out, and neither is his sight materially injured, though he suffered severely for several weeks. m Pi rxt ix Effigv Richmond, Oct 2. lion. Alexander Hives and a colored man were nomi nated by the republicans of Albemarle for the convention yesterday. Last night they were burnt in effigy by the opjosilion. Bad conduct as well as bad policy. Why undertake to degrade good, honest white men liecause they think proper to co-operate with the Republican party ? It i time for the Southern people to act with more prudence Gen Jas 13 Gordon A correspondent . . v i r .a f t writing ironi HkesDoro. i. U , to tno itaieign Sentinel, sijs : I stood, yesterday, beside the grave of Gen. Gordon. Whether the cause he espoused was Just or unjutf, i one of those questions which one halt ot this world will decide one way and the other half the other way. But, mistaken or not, Gordon was a bold, brace and gallant officer. He was beloved by his people And if his portrait on his mother's wall is a faithful representation, he must have been a man of un commonly handsome and noble bearing Bland and gentle in expression, he was at the same time strong in intellect, forcible and bolid. There ii hardly a more quiet spot on earth j than his grave. It is in the yard of the Epis- I copal Church of Wilkesboro His half brother, Col. II . A. Brown, has settled in his old home, Wilkesboro The venerable mother of General Gordon, now Mrs. Col. Brown, resides here." - Death of an old Citizen of Charlotte. From a private letter, we learn that 3Ir M F Windell, late of this city, was murdered near Mobile, by a negro boy whom he was superin tending. It seeujs that he had reproved the negro for some neglect of duty, and receiving an insolent reply, he seized the negro who stab bed him on the thigh and back, inflicting mor tal wounds. Mr Windel! leaves a dependent family. Daily Arwa, From the way some of the citizens of the North talk and their Representatives act. it might be supposed that no one there was unwilling to associate with colored people on terms of equality in every reject. But such is not the case. The Auglaize (Ohio) Democrat gives an account of ., . ...... at. considerable excitement in that neighborhood be- cause negroes insisted on sending their children to the same school with white children. The School Board turned the negroes out and resolved that the races should not be mixed in that way. And neither will they grant the same political rights to negroes that their Representatives re quire Southern people to allow them. The Tax on Liquor. Mr II. II. Helper, the Assessor of Internal Revenue in this District, has written a letter to the Commissioner at Wash- ington suggesting a much better mode ot taxation than the present one. If his plan was adopted the people would understand it better, and there would be less difficulty iu collecting the tax. Mr Helper says : ''I am thoroughly convinced that there is but one practical, fair aud satisfactory way of reach ing the distillers throughout the United States. If you will issue a circular letter to the Assessors of every district in the States and Territories, re quiring them to furnish you with a complete census of every still owned iu their several dis tricts, together with the names of the real or ostensible owners thereof, and the capacity of each aud every such still. I will undertake to ac quaint you iu less than 24 hours how a tax of 3?HHJ.0UU.0()U, in my opinion, can be realized per annum, by imposing a special tax on each still according to its capacity, thereby obliterating 60 or more sections of complicated law relative to the assessment and collection of the tax on spirits per gallon. My plan would not only ob literate law, but also smuggling.Wi aud, inspectors, labor, heavy expense to Government, and general demoralization of the tax-payers and officers of the Revenue of the whole country, in fact. As a matter of information, think the Department ought to be put in possession of the census re ferred to." Who are Rebellious? Let the following resolution, passed by a Republican public meet ing in Philadelphia, answer : Resolved, That now, as in 1861. we are pre pared for an uprising of the American people; we are ready to quit workshop, factory, desk and farm, to cast aside domestic ties, aud arm aud fight for the country and freedom and the rights of all her loyal children; that mindful of the past, we will never suffer rebels to rule patriots; our lenders to be reviled and our Congress to be re sisted by a traitorous President, backed by a guilt' baud of conspirators and powerful but misguided party. Trial or Mr. Davis. A Washington letter to a New York paper says : Judjre Underwood and L. H. Chandler, United States District Attorney for Virginia, are herein consultation with the Attorney General relative to the trial of Jeff. Davis iu November. Mr Chandler, who is the prosecuting officer in the ca.e, will it is understood, be governed in his action entirely by the advice of Mr Stanhery. Judge Underwood end Mr Chandler are both of opinion that sufficient testimony can be produced to convict Davis, provided the case is allowed to take the regnlar course, without any interference upon the part of the authorities here. The friends of Davis, including his bondsmen, assert that he will put in an appearance at court when wanted, and that he is not only willing, but anx ious to go through a regular trial on the indict ment against him. Mr Chandler has as yet re ceived no definite instructions, the case being still under consideration." Another Washington dispatch soys : The intimations that the Executive Depart ment is interesting itself about Mr Davis' trial are entirely groundless. Since Mr Davis was delivered to the Judicial authorities in May, the Federal Executive has taken no action iu his case." m New York. Oct. 1. General Sheridan visited the Stock Gold Board this morning. There was wild enthusiasm. After it subsided, the mem bers sung "old John Brown," greatly to the Gen eral's satisfaction. "VThy all this parade over an insignificant man like Sheridan ? What has he done more than thousands of men of lower grade and in the ranks of the Federal artny ? It is because President Johnson was silly enough to remove him after he had done all the harm he could in Louisiana aud Texas. But the members of the Stock Gold Board of New York sung "old John Brown," and the General's satisfaction was great ! How ridiculous. Stop It ! Disrespectful language never mjkes converts to any cause never tends to restore harmony where animosities, political or personal, exist. If all men would act in accor dance with the teaching that a soft answer turneth away wrath, one-half of the ill feeling between man and man would be avoided. We have been led to this reflection by looking over a large list of exchanges, and noticing the nu merous expressions of contempt and abhorrence launched at one set of men, interlarded with expressions of the greatest respect for others. For example, when the name of Jefferson Davis is mentioned by a certain class of presses at the North, it is coupled with the most offensive ex pressions of contempt. Another class North and South never refer to him except in language almost reverential. Gen. Buttler is another instance, when the case is just reversed. H'tY mington Post. We agree with the Post, that a great deal of imprudent language is used by journalists ; and it does more harm than many persons suppose. Besides, strong and violent langu-ige is frequent ly used thoughtlessly, without reflection as to the effects produced. With the Post, wc say, Stop it." . , The Augusta Railroad A correspon dent of the Yorkville Enquirer writes from Columbia as follows : "Chancellor Carrolls's decision of the case pending between the South Carolina Railroad and i he above road, in favor of the above, gives satisfaction to large classes of oar community. Not to the parties interested in the monopoly of the South Carolina Railroad, bat to almost everybody else. Indeed, we are disposed to give that road itself credit for being glad to have the case disposed of; to be relieved from the almost universal odium that the agitation kept concentered upon its pitiibly diminutive policy." .

Goldsboro Star. How Judge Underwood will Dispose of Mr Davis. Rev. Paul Bagley soys he told President Johnson in the following lauguage'of an interview between himself and Judge Unr derwood : "Judge Underwood said he was sure Mr Davis would be brought to trial in November, and that under exi6tiog instructions, in refer ence to jurors, a jury would be eaipauneiled that would convict him; that be did not wish to see any blood shed, because be was opposed to cap ital punishment anyhow, and that Congress, in the midst of the war, bad reduced the penalty of treason to fine and imprisonment in the dis cretion of the court; that he would, therefore only fine him enough to take away his Missis sippi plantations, aud let them be sold out, at say half a dollar per acre To which President Johnson, smiling, re plied : "It used to be the old fashioned way to try a man before they hanged him The Epidemic The demand for the relief of sufferers from yellow fever in Louisiana aud Texas is louder and more earnest from day to day. The accounts from New Orleans represent the condition of many in that city as truly de plorable, surpassing anything which might be iuferred, from a perusal of the city newspapers, as the latter are restrained from a full statement of the facts by considerations of policy. An in crease of mental excitement liable to result from such statements would be in all respects unfa vorable A telegram received in New York from the President of the New Orleans Howard As sociation says: "Continue your labors.' Fever is stiil spreading. We have about twenty-one hundred applicants for relief, and will require all the assistance our friends abroad can give for our city, and other towns near us."
