! CHAtlJES DICKERS THE TOUJIOKR.
i ' !
: Mr. W,liier' D4icriptta of hU Rcadlnff
l the Maw York Trltmme.
; In personal i appearance Mr. Dick
i ens much resembles bis father, and
i this, iogether With the joyful tumult
4 of ; ibja: velcom& created for many
' persons in that assemblage the illu
sion ha an old and happy time had
4 comejbaik, an4 with it "the touch of
a. vanlnhMl hutln and Iha tnnnrl nf a
voice that is still." Mr. Dickens read
"Dr. plarigold1' and the trial scene
from ickwibk." His voice is of
wide cdmpaal and refinement and
j delicaoy. His method, like' that of
his ,fathier which indeed it closely
! resembles is absolutely simple, but
! it is anirpated'and guided by unerring'
! dramatic purpose, and penetrated by
an intelligence that descends into
ever j fiber of' character and glows
' through every felicity of phrase. He
did foot! attempt, as many readers
I vainly df, to impart a different voice,
i to every'peaker,buthe 6Usriminated
1 betweenithe yarious identities and he
! marked the many changes of mood,
1 by the true add right artistic means
' of vajbietjr in his tones. All the stage
: business; withl which his father was
1 accustomed to illustrate Dr. Mari
: gold narrative was used again by
; him. ; Wbln, for example, he referred
I to th dogSvho would "give a howl--and
iJt)olt," the manner of the
great : novelist was so exactly
reproduced that he seemed literally to
! hve again. But Mr. Dickens is no
! servue imitator of his father. It was
easy to perceive his perfect apprecia
tion alike of 1 the character, pathos
! and humor of what he was reading,
' and especially his perception of that
; merit, set conspicuous and delightful
in the wrks.bf Dickens, the exquis
ite felicity of humorous phrase. His
intlectioB, hit significant shading of
his words, his artful use of the mo
j mentary? pause, and the passionate
earnestness and freedom with which
he approaches and attains a climax
are the powers and attributes of a
true! artist. The nature disclosed
through jj th: reading, furthermore,
- was felt to be manly, simple, gentle
. and full 0f sweetness. His conspicuous
success was achieved as a humorist.
In this particular he is brilliant. In
: pathos, however, he has a quiet earn
' estnfess a sense that the sad touch
; ing thing derives no additional po
"; tency frjom theatrical emphasis
' whih ia deeply impressive.

When the court adjourned yesterday,

Mr.
Grinnell i spoke Tortv-nve mmutos.
the
composition of theyjurv. At the cou-
' elusion of Mr, Grinnell's remarks
! General Benjamin F. Butler began
his argument. S'
I ; When the "United States Supremo
' Court convened at coon tpday there
was not quite as Urge an attendance
of the members of:fthe bar as yester
: day, but the seats provided for spee
i tators were alllfilfed and the open
j spaces adjacent to the entrance of
1 the court i room were crowded with
of
court, the Chief Justice requested
4ttorney4,Geuer:al tHunt to proceed
With his argument.'whicb was inter
rupted by au acljoarnraent of court
yesterday afrernoojp.
Mr. Hunt Said; th&t as ho hud almost
finished ! ht3 argiiment when the
hour for adjOurnnent arrived, he
would not Speak today but would give .
place to his associate State's Attor
ney" Grinnell.
Mr. Grinnell addressing tbe court,
said that it had hpt been his inten
tion to take p:i!t in the oral argu
ment and that he, c&tne here primarily
for. the putpoB'e :3f assisting Mr.
Hunt by means of his familiarity
With the record in this case. He
thought that by the presentation of
the law and facts "yesterday it was
clearly shown that there was no fed
eral question involved, and that the'
court was without jurisdiction to
grant a writ of error. Assignments
of error in the --lower court' and
parts of the record: relating to jurors
l)enker and Sanf orfl had been printed
and were in : the court's hands. In
all the twenty-eigfit assignments of
error there; was no preference directly
or indirectly, to; the Constitution of
tKe Unitejd States or any of its amend
ments. There were some tilings, he said,
which were; here generally conceded,
and one of them was that the Consti
tution itself confers no rights which
need be. here considered. It is sim
ply a limitation of the rights of legisla
tive power in dealing with the rights
of citizens! The Constitution of the
State of Illinois contains almost all
the provisions which are embraced in
the Constitution of the United States.
This court had settled, he believed,
the question of jurisdiction, as far as
the first ten amendments are con
cernedaml also, be thought, under
the sixty-fourth amendment. The only
clause of the latter which could figure
here, was that; "$o State shall de
prive any person of life, liberty or
property wiihout due process of
law." Whatever, affects liberty and
life is I made by this clause
to affect also ptoperty. If the
court had jurisdiction '- of this
case under this provision of the
amendment, then every State ques
tion relating to, property, such as spe
cial assessments, te condemnation
of property, etc., might be brought
to this court for review.
: The Chief Justice : - Because they
take property withontSraluation by a
Mr
Grinnell : Yes, your Honor.
In some cases they i do, especially in
the matter of drainage, when the pro
ceedings may be before a justice of
tho peace,: Air. Urinnell said he ;
thought it to !be conceded that the
State legislature bad the right to prescribe-how
many peremptory chal
lenges should be allowed for
the information tjf a jury, lhe
common law of Illinois had, been
radically changed in this respect, and
both the prosecutor and defendants
now stood on an eqal footing. Each
defendant f was entitled to 20 chal
lenges, and as' the eight defendants
in this case acted in. concert and were
all consulted, each of them had prac
tically oni hundred and sixty per
emptory challenges -before a jury was
obtained, and the' State availed itself
of its privilege to ' tie extent of fifty -two
challenges. He maintained, how
ever, that no' federal question would
be involved even if the State allowed
only one peremptory challenge to one
side and one hundred and sixty to
the other. It was the State's right. In
this .case there were nine hundred
and eighty-one men called into the
jury box and examined in order to
obtain twelve jurors. ; jNo objection
was raised to any one of these twelve
jurors with the single exception of
Sanford, Deuker was challenged
for cause, and; after ii brief ex
amination the challenge was over
ruled and the defence excepted, but
they then proceeded with tv further
and more elaborate examination of
him, and if is shown, by the record
that after this second examination
they decided to keep him; that thoy
did keep him and that they made no
further ' exception. When Denkcr
was taken the defence had left 142
peremptory challenges and they
could have used one of these
challenges to get rid of him, if
they had been very desirous of so
doing, They had 13 peremptory chal
lenges left a ter elevfeu furors had boon
.sworn. These 43 challenges they
frittered away frivolously, foolishly
and rediculously; for the purpose of
taking some possible, advantage. Their
peremptory challenges were then ex
hausted, and Jhey had to eithjfr take
a jurpr or. show cause why
ho should be rejected. The exami
nation of Sanfprd,the last juror jdearly
demonstrates GHniell said, that the
defence Were more "3eady to take him
than the State was- Not a single
juror was put upon tthe defence to ex
haust 'their peremptory challenges,

RALEIGH, N. C, SATURDAY
one who.
va3 present at : the
meeting or that he had
attended - the Coroners inquest
was rejected- for causo. Speaking of
the jury as a whole, Mr.- Griu-nell
said: I wish and am coDStiained to
pav oue tribute to that jufy. It ex-'
eiuTJiiiieu American ciuzniisnip m iuib
omitry mere than any jurjr that was the conspiracy, although in all sixtj
vcr looked -upon.. It" cjnbraced ail nine counts of the indictment there
ever loojica -uix
the -walks of life. Thret of; them
earned thc-ir living by m.ai)ual work.
They came from all parts of the.coun
try, aud one'of theui" was befrn on for
eign soil. They were not- a class
jury; they were honest citizens with
the solemn duty devolving upon them
of determining what should be done
with those m.n. No judge could
look iu the faces of 'that jury without
, saying they were iutelligent;they rep
resent American citizenship; they
we're ft to "be trusted with the rights
uf freemen under our Constitution.
They were all commonplnce 'small
dealers and intelligent nien. Mr.
Grip'nell said he would challenge any
one to show thai a single member of
that Jury was not a competent jjuror,
net only uiJer the jury law of Illi
nois, but under CQiumon law. Con
gress, he sakl, haid recognized the
ri; ht of States to make their own
: jury laws. Section eight hundred of -the
Keviscd statutes provides that
'Jurors to servo iu Courts of the
"iited hjiates in each State respect
ively shali have the same qualifica-ti'-ns
- and b. entitled to. the; same
ex-'iupti-jus as jurors of tlo highest
?o'irt of law in auch State may have
tnd h? entithid to at t'hc time when
jurors
for service in Courts of
the tinted States are summoned...
Almost every State iu the north,
he. said, now Las its new. jury law
an l,tl:cso k'ws. have been sustained
by the highest State courts.
i'loceed'.ng to the question on "-unreasonable
f-eai.eh and seizure", in
-Spies' oflic", he said it did not strike
him as being any part of this case.
iv was not here to- effer any Spolo
g c-rf for his own. conduct, lie. then
recited at someleugth the circuiiistair
cos of the bomb thrown in .the Hay
market, tha sienreh for . the articles in
'the cilice, the prying open of Spies'
dec-"!:, the finding of the dyijaniite and
letters there, the breaking open of
Liugg's domicile and the findingin his
ti unk of dyuainite bombs precisely like
the one thrown: Mr. Grinnell was
interrupted at this point by General
Butler, who said he should want to
cross examine him if it Was competent
for him to do so.
Mr. Grinnell : You shall have that
privilege. General.
Mr. Grinnell resuming, fsaid that
such a seizure was not a. thing which
thib court could regulate. It had
said in the Ker kidnapping case that
it was not for the court to determine
how he (the prisoner) got 'there. The
court simply said, You are here; the
things seized in the search of these
prisoner? promises were there, and
it was not for the court to determine
whether they were legally there.
The only question was,. Are these
things, testimony? and that was
not an inquiry for ' this
court. Forger3-, murder and pther
crimes had to be proved. Mr. Grin
nell said: "By such evidence

was not their business how they f on showed ha superiority over his ,

iurein this case were Unreasonable I la"r manf ul y at his sculls,

view
of the defendants I have no ;
doubk In conclusion. Mr
Grinnell
said: It strikes me from our stand
point that the" foundation of the Con
stitution is less likely to be impaired
by refusiug to grant this writ than by
granting it.- j
At the close of Mr. (jtrinnell s ur
gument, which had
than L vlf the time to
occupied less
u
which he wns
was
said
entitled, Gen. Butler rose
and
tliat the introduction of all this new
matter (referring to Mr.' Grinnell's
...... - .
recital oi 'the circumstances and re-
suits of the searches and seizures)
which .wa3 not in the brief of
'
counsel and which ho had not seen
anywhere in print, would compel him
to ask for more: time than had been
allotted to him;, that this extraneous
matter must be popular with the
coyrt or its -introduction would not
be. permitted. ;
Tho Chief Justice remarked that
the court could not know whether
these matters were in therecord or
n,ot, bat as thev were stated by the
State's Attorney, tho court must a
timie that they were.
Gen. Butler said heiiad not exam
ined the whole ,8,000 pages, but he
kneyf aud could demonstrate that
some portions of this extraneous
matter were, very different from
what appeared in the record; and
he must ask for more time to
speak with reference to matters of
which he had not before heard. He
: aud his associates had been taken by
; surprise and the lives of their clients
: hr.d thus been put in jeopardy. Mr.
Grinnell. interrupting, said that he
understood the counsel of the other
side to make complaint to the court
that there was indication of unreason
able search and seizure; their printed
; brief showed that a great many things
had been : seized, and ho (Grinnell)
had simply added that other things
had also been seized. In other words,
said Mr. Grinnell, "we admit seizures
and we admit more seizures."
Mr. Butler said that ho would state
the points of contention; and if be
stated them wrongly he wanted to be
corrected by any gentleman who did
not admit the right to toal men and
to steal their papers.
After describing what happened at
tho Haymarket meeting, he said: At
that meeting a bolub was thrown by
somebody for some purpose, . and
there is not one. word iu these eight
thousand 'pages of evidence to show
that any ouo of these men had any
thing to do with the throwing of that
bomb. Ihoro were but two of these
men within miles of that meeting, and
one had bis wifo and two little cbil
J dren in the very place almost where
that bomb was lighted. IlB explosion
killed a bingle policeman, and within
, a few days all of these men were
i arrested without a warrant, commit
i ted to jail and held there without ex

animation and without process until
they were indicted by the grand jury,
ind to describe the simple crim, if
crime-it was, the State's attorney had
U draw an indictment of sixty-nine
counts.
During the trial the judge allowed
questions to be asked with regard to
was no conspiracy alleged, &c.
. After a great deal of ramblinc talk
hooul me composition oi the jury,
dissatisfaction with the record, lack
of time for preparation, sentencing
of the prisoners in their absence
and that of their counsel kc.
General Butler said that if all these
thing3 could be done the question
was to be debated whether this gov
ernment would not be a little better
if it were overturned into anarch is
try than if it were to be carried on
in this fashion.- I have no fear, ho
said, of being misunderstood
jpon this question. I have the
individuality of being the only
nankin the United States that
ondemned and executed men for uu
lertakmg to overturn the law.
There were thousands of them and
"or thlt act, please your honors, a
price was set upon my head as
hough I were a wolf and $25,000 was
offered to any man who could capture

Davis. . and his associates, aud
who if they wer here at your bar
trying to" ascertain whether thoy
Hhouldhaye an honest and fair trial
for their great crimes and they called
upon me that their lives were in dan
ger, L Bhe-uld hold it to be my duty
to stand here and do all that I might
to defend them. That is the chivalry
of law, if I understand it, and" if I
don't, it is not of much consequence,
for I am; quite easily and quickly
passing away.

notwithstanding they have

A;, orth Carolina R. 1 Co. also is
(.lit criminated against by the 11. & D.
II. II. Co., who, charge 20c per 100
po.mda on cotton from Raleigh to

of Norfolk hv New Berne, while the

W-Id-en givos the R. D. R. R. 30c

Norfolk via Weldon is worth only 8c
pe.- tuu pounds, but to Norfolk via
New Berne adds 12c per 100 pounds
to the cost between Raleigh and
Gcldsboro.
Coast Line
This gives the Atlantic i
and connections undue
preference to the prejudice of the A.
& N. C 11. !t , and is clearly a viola
tion of section .3 of the inter-state
commerce act.
Section 5 reads: That it shall be
unlawful fo any common carrier sub
ject to the provisions of this act, to
enter into any Contract, agreement or
combination with any other common
carrier or carriers for the pooling of
. freights of different and eo'topeting
railroads, or to f divide between them
ti e aggregate oV net proceeds of the
earnings of such railroads, or any
portion thereof, and in any case of
an agreement for the pooling of
freights as aforeSaid-each day of its
continuance shall be deemed a sepa-
rate offence.
The. Associated Railroads of Yir
' jflnia and tbe Carolinas claim that
j their agreement is not contrary to
I this section, but a little investigation
j w.1 prove that they are violating the
I spirit of the law. j
During lS8(the A. & N. C. R. R.,
j mide an effort to reach Raleigh via
Goldsboro, paying the R. & D. R. R.
j Co., their high local rate to Raleigh,
i By making a very low rate to Golds-
- J
boro, they succeeded in securing
ite a volUme of business, and Ral-
. . '. ...
eigh merchants saved a to 5 cents per
100 pounds in 'freight on goods or
dered from Laltimore and New lork.
This business was a clear
rroirt frw
the R. & D. R. R., as most northern
shipments come via Portsmouth and
the R. &. G. R. R.
One would suppose, in the absence
of any pooling arrangement or diet-.
i)'t f territory, the R. & D. R. R.
Co , would have been very glad to se
cure this new business.
Subsequent developments seem to
prove that they did not want
any traffic 'hat way. Very soon the
u local lates wero made higher.

A YeTy iiveiy imagination is not
i re(.uis-te to coniecture that the Sea-
board system, one of the parties to
th'3 "Triple Alliance," was losing
in its i$totU dmterritory,n.n demanded
ihit prompt measures should be
taken to divert theBe shipments from
the A. & N. C. R. R. and send them
over the line by which tho combina
tion intended they should go. Thus
the 3 to 5c per 10 lbs saved by our
merchants became a thing of the past:
Another evidence of this division
of territory is -i found in the follow
ing: .
Recently shipments of cotton from
Raleigh to Norfolk were being made
via the Norfolk & Western R. R. Co.
The Raleigh 'iS Gaston R. R. Co.
promptly withdrew their trackage
agreement of2 per car-load for
transfering R..: !t D. cars, but the R.
!C D. R. R. made a contract to transr
fer the cotton by paying eight cents
per bale drayage'. This created a
little 11 utter' among the magnates, and
a conference was ordered and plans
M . . w i
arranged to meet the changed situa
tion at Raleigh. In due time the
drayage contract was cancelled, tlie
R & D. cars were admitted to the
platform, paying u'me cent jkv bale
for the privilege, and the cotton still

going vail, however, instead of icest,
the R. & D. R. R. Co. taking a stort in-
etead of a luuy haul, taking a quarter
instead of half a loaf.
One is puzzled to know why a rail-1
load company should ever relax its ,
grasp on any good. thing it once puts
its bauds on, and thcro can be no ex
planation in this case, except that one
of the Alliance heretofore referred '
to, wits losing business in it allotted

cotton at Weldon, and thn lion's share

Buckalew is an outlaw in Chambers

his tricks to avoid arrest and his
boldness. At one time he is said to
have mot in disguise a pease in search

$400 was offered by the Governor
for his arrest. A special to the Arf

where Buckalew was known to be.
As they approached, the outlaw shot
