THE DEMOCRAT. VVM. J. YATES, Editor and Proprietor. CHARLOTTE, N. C. April 4, 1871. Outrages at the North and South. We never open a Northern paper without seeing ' nn account of some nmrder, rape or depredations j on individuals in various ways. And in addition to j i ,.,,,..,. the columns of the newspapers i , Vnrihern' br. thvrn are often filled with des- ! ,-, n of I'.mk robberies, store robberies and n'! . I .,,,.,. .. &c., A:c.

If individuals (uuimit rimes which the State or County authori ties an- unable or unwilling to punish, the good por tion of . cir people have no objection to their being am Meil and fairly tried by the L'. S. Courts. We helieve that more than nine-tenths of the citi zens of North Carolina accepted in good faith the rrvi.lt.- of the late war. and are willing to stand to and abide by the settlement agreed to by our State j ( oiivi uti ins and Legislatures, no matter how much ! t!ie terms were disliked at the time they were made, j Tli'-icfore, we denounce the proposed legislation by Congress, so far as it affects this State, as uncalled j for and unfair, and calculated to injure the business l.rv"ei.s ol the State and hinder and retard its i I Ms;ierity. I Jf Northern members of Congress would turn I their attention to occurrences transpiring in their ; own districts and States, and legislate for the sup- ' ) ivs.-ion of crime in their own sections, they might i with a little propriety talk about outrages in North ; Carolina; but until they do that they have no ex cuse for .stigmatising the people of the South as r litis. A Northern man can travel anywhere in North Carolina as safely as he can in his own Town dii in the North, and will receive more attention .i.d kindness than he would at home. We have seen thousands of Northern men passing through ami stopping in this City, and have never yet heard one complain of bad treatment of any sort. If Congress really (loins to promote peace and reestablish good feeling between all sections of this i;reat country, let it quit legislating for the South and speedily pass a Bill removing disabilities from cvervbodv and place all on an equal footing in p soeet to political and civil rights. Do that and all will he well, for it would deprive all extivini sts of : . imi.:..c 1 1 ir irn on l it r ! !t( 1 rn iw l ilir M rl 1 1 r o'.l ten T n r ' . ... . ... .. strife. Suicide. We learn that Mr. McKamie Alexander, living i 4 miles this side of Davidson Coil ege, commit- i ti'd Suicide on Thursday morning last by hang- j ing himself with a trace chain. AfUr putting the; lmids to work on his farm he took tl . chain, went j to an old out-house, fastened the chain to a rafter ; and then to his neck and jumped ol' He was not j found until several hours afterward i Mr. Alexander was about 45 yeai old and a good citizen, loved and respected by his neighbors, and j was in good circumstances. It is supposed his i mind w;n affect "d by disease, as he had been (pile ; melancholy for several days previous to the sad oc- ! un ('nee Nkw I'ost-Okkici-:.

Another Impeachment Case. j The House of Representatives last week preferred j charges for impeaching Judge E. W. Jones of the j 21 Judicial District. Air Sparrow presented the! Articles and the case went to the Senate for trial. ! The charges are briefly stated below : ! i Article 1st recites charges of drunkenness and j disgraceful conduct in Raleigh. j Article 2 in reference to the same thing in Golds- ! boro'. I Article 3 in relation to the same in Tarboro'. Article 4 charges the same misdemeanors in the town of Williamston, Martin county, where he went to hold Court. Article 5 contains charges of like nature to (hose in the 4th article of occurrences in Williamston, but I differing in certain particulars. j Since the proceedings were institiit ;d, Judge ' Jones sent in to the Governor his resignation, and ! the expense of the trial is thus saved. j Statk lNiMU'KNiMiNCi--..

A portion of the Republican party of Ohio under the lead of ex-Secretary Cox and other prominent republicans (says the Wilmington Star) are taking a new departure from the beaten track of Radicalism. They begin to see (strange that they didn't make the dis covery sooner!) that the policy of disfran chisement is not in accordance with the fundamental principles of the Government and sound statesmanship. At a recent meeting in Cincinnati a declaration of prin ciples was adopted, of which the following article forms a part. They say : "We believe further continuajice of the policy of disfranchisement to be incompati ble with a proper respect for the fundamen tal principles of republican government and sound statesmanship, and while unal- ! tcrablv determined to maintain the great re- j suit of the war, we insist that its enmities and resentments be buried; that a-1 remain ing causes of irritation shall be removed; that all political disabilities impose,! for par ticipation in the rebellion be abolished." This declaration of principles has been signed by a great number of the leading Republicans of Ohio, and will not fail to make an impression upon the masses of that heretofore intensely Radical State. The New York Tribune, recognizing the impor tance of the movement, concedes, in the fol lowing, that "the leading thinkers of the Republican party1' are at the head of the movement, and that "where they point the way, many thousands are ready to follow." j Says the lribune: j The gentlemen concerned are among the leading thinkers of the Republican party in the est, and where they point the way j many thousands are ready to follow. What- j ever may be said of the present unsettled; and alarming condition of affairs at the j South, there can be no doubt of one of tlie I lessons It teaches.
