THE ROANOKE NEV'S.
TnUKSDAY, Jt'LY 81, 1S7D
ri Hi.ir koai.
Though we hear of little complaint
now, of ilie public roads in tho county,
yet this is owing more to the dry weather
than to the work that has been dune oa
them. As soon as the wet weather sets
in, which it will certainly do sooner or
later, the reads will be in as bad a con
dition, if not worse than they were last
winter.
Ia the dry season and after the crops
re laid by, is the best tima to work the
roads, and work them thoroughly so
that they maybe permanently improved.
A few ipadesf'uli of dirt here aod there
and a few piae pules occasionally do
not belp matters at all. ihe law rr
tjuires, we beliere, that every public
road to be it least twenty fect wide, free
of obstructions. Ho many miles of
mad in the county nill come up to thin
requirement? Dot tun we believe.
Every road ilioulJ ut only bo twenty
feet wide but should bo clear of roots,
ktumpi, shrubs, and should be
ditched nn each siJc s i that tho water
might not stand i.) tho centio of the
roads. Kt'ery road overseer i.i the
comity has the means placed at bis
command" to make a thoroughfare, and
the proper authority should compel
them to perform their duty. It would
be only little more trouble in the be
ginning, and after a good working, but
very little work would be required to
keep them in order. Many of the roads
ia the county are almost impassible in
winter, and all owiug to ucglect and
carelcssnen in those whose duty it is to
keep them io repair.
We call on the several township trus
tees to see that the roads are made, and
kept io good crder.
THE JEWS.
The President of the Manhattan
Iieach lliilway Company, has announced
that the company docs not want the
patronage of the Jewish community at
its bnttl and on its Puilroad. Wbat the
Jews have done to be thus snubbed we
have not beard, and tho company does
not state explicitly. It is supposed that
the autipaihy boroe by gentiles towards
the scattered nation makes it unprofita
ble to entertain them. At least this is
the reason given by Julga lLlto i for a
similar course last summer. We know
there is a general disliko of the Jes
by so-called christian people, and t this
disliko bis the Manhattan Company
bowed. We rather think the company
should have st joj oat ajiiust this feel
tag, and not bave been submitted to
being bull-dosed in that way. It is, of
co'se, their business whom they shall
entertain, but why they should refuse to
admit Jews, on account of race wo cannot
understand. If it is bcc.iuss son a of
them are out what they ought to h, but
re tricky, dishonest and untrustworthy
theo they are possibly right, but stil
they d not gu far enough, but should
In refuse admission to all gentiLs of
like character. If it is became of tho
peculiarity of race, then it is wrong, un
less all other objectionable races are
aUo refuted. The colored people for
iettaace whom oar Northern friends
lev ia well, and want to bee treated
like white people, aod accorded all
privileges that whilo people have, they
khoald not be allowed at hotels and on
lUilroads. We believe ia being j.ist.
and although it nay work Lardbips it.
any cascj let justice be done. There
re good people among the Jews, aud
they should lot be made t.i suffer for
the faults of those of their race who do
rotg any more than one E iglii'jman or
Frenchman, should bo p inishcJ for the
aim of his fellow-couutrymaa.
MAXTofthe pipers lately have been
mentioning the tames of prortinei t
men of the State who wjuIJ make good
governors and congressmen.
The geulcmeo spoken of by tl.e
press woulJ all of them make gnd
urticials, and would da honor to the
State if they should ba placed iu office.
We hope North Carolina will never
Ireh msn who are capibla and bonost
and true, to f.ll tho various places in
fverr.ment. l'jt wo are opposed to
changing officers lo often uulcss there is
some reason besides the fact that they
would grace the positions. No man
bowevergood or capable can io
short time become accustomed to
the duties of public ofTue. No man
without experience caa do as well a
one wbo has it, other things bc'cio
eoial. And we think it bad p. die? as
a rule to pat a iu in in olli.-e, mi then
by lb time be learns the duties, turn
him ont aaJ put another in. II iw can
we ever bave great men as long as this
practice continues. If people will just
think, they will sue that chut men who
nave be: imj the greatest utate.meo of
the cou itrr, who have d me tho State
the most service are those who bave
cootiaaed l.mjeit it oiTi :e. Ia the C o
gtess of the LVu4 S ales those men who
have ben there Imjest have the most
iiifljjice. Tujss whj Lafo beeu iV'.rc
longebt, as a rule have the wnk to do,
and the country places the responsibiliiy
on them. S it is with our State
goveromc lit. Tl)..sc members who have
been longest in public bervice are looked
to for advice, aru expected to take the
load in all important measures, and this
is lb e case with all public officers, and
it is right aod proper. It requires ex
parience as well as sense to carry
on any thing successfully and we should
keep experienced men in thuse places
which require it.
Get good men and keep thorn and
tho machinery of government will run
much more smoothly.
Difoiti, the Kentucky murderer,
has been couvicted of murder in the
first degree, nnd sentenced to tho peni
tentiary for life. Hi received hit sen
tence quietly, and without any tremor.
It is high time that the criminal laws
should bo enforced, and wc are glad to
ie the law vindicated. Tim j iry in
C 1. Ilaford's case, descrvo honor for
doing their duty when so many things
were brought to bear to prcreot them.
Wc hope this will not bo tho only case,
nor Kentucky the only Stale, in which
people will be protected froai violence
by the strocg arm of the law.

AOVltU TO T!!l! COLORED PEOPLE FROM
A COLORED MAN.
Scotland Neck, July 2G:h, 1870.
The Kansas lover, charmed by the
voice o( fame, and allured by the hope
of wealth, wish to forsake their parental
roofs, in quest of happiness and honors,
and of those things which arc perishable
in their nature.
The pretent is truly oa oge of con
fusion. The people of tho Njrth ore an
investigating people. Entry thing ap
pears contiury to scripture. Reason
aud trjc pl.ilut,oj,liy arc brought up be
fore the ordeal of public scrutiny to be
censured or approved. Things, impor
tant and unimportant, iutcrcsling and
uniiitcresting ore continually coming
up iu tlx minds of the politician. Wes
tern meetings Lave been held, discus-
i iens are going on, men collect together
io groups ot street dinars and at every
cross roads. They meet promiscuously
on church grounds, in public halls, on
highways, iu by-ways, in private domi
ciles, to discu's the prominent topics of
the day as they call it; and consult
upon the most dliciert meats to ex
terminate the necroes bv nersuadinc
them lo leave their couloilablo South
ern homes l migrate tn the barren
wuste, rolling prairies nnd grassy plains
of Kansas to dwell with bears and
wol ves and to find graves among stran
gers, who will not erect a rude slab to
mark their testing place.
In this war do a portion of the K iu-
sas philanthropists occupy a part of
their unoccupied tirco which oujtit to
be industriously used in their mccbauicul
labor or professional neccoatio.is if they
have any. 11 it each is thinking fur
himself j originating new iJeus for his
own aggrandisement ; Con-Cocting plaus,
devising schemes t put the poor negro
in a condition worse than in the days of
yore. Can going to Kaua", tetter
your cjndition?
The 13th, U:!i and I.V.h amciidmeuls
to iho constituti in of the United Slates
which is the law of the laud, give y iu a
ri'jLt ia common wit'i tho citizens of a
fairer skin. Now wbst do you need?
Tbe key note so often harped cpoo by
untruthful men, "forty acres of land and
a cuulo" has sm.k lj rise no more.
Now they have a new song, "Gj to
Kansas."
In tho name of common j istice, tell
me what will come ocxt. A digested
plan by to disfranchise ynu.
By the (i;aiid Tycoon of . 15ut
loe Sjulii refuse J to rcsp md to bis

acclimnlud, un 1 understand Ihe people
with whom you deal; you well kuuw
their habits; our soil is superior or
eqial to any on earth ; it is adapted to
the growth of any thing that we need.
I say let well enough nlo o. There is
nothing girtj in this K-isis scheme. It

You can't drive a puMic truck, cart,
