A SORRY RASCAL.
When Belknap, Grant's Secretary
of "War, was on trial before the
Senate for corruption in office, he
na3 defended by Hon. Jere Black,
and after the trial refused to pay him.
Judge Black sued him and last week
recovered judgment against him for
3,000.
A CLOSE YOTE.
To pgain illustrate the importance
cf one or two votes at an election,
we cite the instance of a Congress
man being elected in Missouri by a
majority of two. Ford, the republi
can-greenback candidate in the Ninth
diBtrict,teceivd 21,770 voUs,and his
opponent received 21,768. This i
the official result as announced by
the Secretary of State on the 10th
inst
KELLY DEPOSED.
"We are truly rejoiced that John
Kelly, the Taiuniaiiy ''Boss" in New
York city, has lost his office of Comp
trollof. " Oh Friday last Mr. Allan
Campbell was appointed in his place,
and so Boss Kelly now retires to the
shades- of private life, where we hope
ho will ever remain. It was through
his conduct that Cornell was elected
Governor of New York last year and
that Garfield carried that State this
year.
THE FENCE LAW.
We do not now intend to discuss
the "no fence" law, but desire simply
to call attention to the iact that there
is a law in our statute uook tnat is
seldom enforced and is y-t continually
violated. It is a law that rentiers
nearly every farmer in North Carolina
liable to indictment, and enables anv
mean man to have his neighbors in
dicted and punished, and we hope
the nost Gt neral Assembly will repeal
it. It certainly ought to be repealed
or enforced, and as the latter is not
done the former should be. We al
lude to the law makiug it an iudicta
ble offence for a person not to keep
a lawful fence. It is section 43 of
chapter 32 of Battle's Kevisal and
reads as follows :
"All-. p-rsous neglecting to ken
and repair their fences during crop
lime, m tue manner requ red by Jaw,
shall be eerned guilty of a misde
meanor." Now a fence "required by law"
must be "sufficient" and "at least five
leet high, according to section 1 of
chapter 48 Battle's Revival. Under
these two sections of our laws
ire venture the assertion that nearly
every farjner in North Carolina can
be indicted, for who has all his fences
"at least five feet high " ? And yet
while this is true, how many are ever
indicted ? Is the law enforced ? and
if not, ought it not to be repealed ?
Ought a law to serve as an instru
ment for gratifying the malice of one
neighbor againtt another ? for is this
law ever enforced except when a farm
er is indicted at the ins igation of some
one who has a spite against him ?
Does not this law place all our farm
era at the mercy cf auy scamp who
may wish to indict them ? Why not
then repeal it?
We are not urging the rejral of
the law requiring fences to be kept
up, but .we do urge the repeal of the
law making it a misdemeanor not to
keep a lawful fence. But it may be
asked, why require a lawful fence un
less the failure to comply with it is
made indictable? The farmer who
does not keep a "lawful" fence cannot
rfrjover any damages for s! ock brea' iug
iu, nor can he injure any stock that
may break into his enclosure not sur
rounded by a lawful fence. Section
95 of chapter 32 Battle's Kevisal says:
"If any person shall kill or abuse
any horse, mule, cattle, hog, sheep
or neat cattle, the rjroperty of anoth
r, in any inclosure not surrounded
by a lawful fence, such person shall
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and, on conviction, shall .be fined or
imprisoned at the discretion of the
court V;
So tbat according to our existing
laws no man can obtain any redress
for trespass of stock unless he has a
lawful fence, and this should be suffi
cient punishment for him without
the law indicting him for not Laving a
lawful fence. We think that when a
man's crop is enton tip or destioyed
by his neighbor's stock, that is suffi
cient punishment, without in addi
tion to that indicting him for not
having a lawful fence !
Wo do not believe in keeping any
law on our statute book that is prac
tically dead. It is demora'izing, foi
if our grand juries fail to enforce one
law they may another, and thus their
oaths be continually violated. Our
grand juries do not make prose: t
incnt for failure to keep lawful fences,
and yet the'r oatbs require them to
do so if they I now of such failures,
and of course very juror does know
of many, and for the very rtason
that theie'are so many none we pre
sented ! Either repeal or enforco the j
lair.
THE PUBLIC PRINTING.
Wo really do not see how th re
can be any diversity of opinion as to
who should have the public printing.
If long continued, unremitting and
efficient services to the democratic
parly entitle any one to have it, then
we unhesitatingly sa that Samuel
A. Ashe should have it. His election
would bo a fitting recognition of his
personal efforts in behalf of our
party, and of the services of the two
newspapers now consolidated under
his management.
We do not speak by authority but
we doubt not that this is the view
taken by the members of the General
Assembly elected from this couuty,
and we believe of the great- bulk of
our party throughout the State.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRES.
During this month several detrac
tive fires have swept away large por
tions of some of the most flourishing
towns in the State. On the 1st inat
the fire fiend visited the town of Dur
ham and in a few hours consumed
about one hundred thousand dollars
worth of property. The next week
the town of Laurinburgh was par
tially destroyed, and in three days
thereafter another conflagration con
sumed nearly all that had escaped
the first. Truly has that place been
peculiarly unfortuuate. The town of
Winston was next vibited and an en
tire block of buildings burnt, and by
a singular co-incidenee they were the
buildings erected in place of those
burnt last year.
This stems a fated month for fires,
and who can tell what town may next
suffer ? These fires should serve as
warnings to all other towns to be on
their guard and take every precau
tion agaiust a similar calamity. We
do not sein to appreciate the danger
until our property is burnt. Every
town should have a well organized
fire company and a sufficient supply
of water. Fire is a dangerous foe,
and cannot be too carefully guarded
against.

Criminal Courts.
In last week's Record we urged the
establishment of criminal courts, and
we are pleased to learn that the mat
ter is being urged by others. The
magistrates of Pitt county, at a meet
ing held on the 6th inst, adopted the
following resolutions on the subject :
" 1st. That it is the sense of this
body that the Superior courts chould
be divided into separate tribunals
one for the trial of civil anions alone,
ai'd the other for the exclusive cogni
zance of criminal cases. Tbat new
judges of the criminal circuits be ap
pointed if it should be found inexpe
dient for the present judges to hold
both courts at separate times.
2nd. If no such divisions of the
courts can be had throughout the
State, then a criminal circuit includ
iug Pitt county, should be created
for the benefit of those Eastern coun
ties wheie th accumulation of civil
and criminal business clog our dock
ets, tendering it impossible, under
the present system, to dispose of
cases expeditiously, swiftly, or in
justice to suitors, defendants or the
State.
3d. That our Senator and Repre
sentatives be requested to take such
action in the coming Legislature as
will secure the de sired change."
Hon. J. J. Davis.
It affords us pleasure to publish
the following extinct from a letter in
tht Goldsboro Messenger from its
Wathington correspondent :
"Capt. Joe DaviK, in this his last
term, is serving his State faithfully
as he has always done. Hii queries
concerning the counting of the fraud
ulent votos, delivered in a voice of
thunder, startled and somewhat dis
concerted his radical opponents. I
have reason for thinking that there is
no member of the Houfo of Repre
sentatives who possesses in a higher
degree the sincere respect and es
teem of his fellow members of all
parties. It is impossible f r any
readers of the Messenger tboa per
sonally acquainted with Mr. Davis
or those who have watched c'oso his
public career to be informed in this
correspondence that ho is a man of
the highest worth and most exalted
character. It is due, however, to
him who has so long and admirably
represented such a district as the
Fourth North Carolina, and whose
omciai rerm will nave expired in a;
few short mouths, that his able and j
uiiju-juntu i-a.reer as n. congressman
should receive something more than
""v ...v.. , . u Dwi
a nast-infif tribute. I have lnn tnmvn
-"-eie is a government dc facto and !
soveinruent de iuro: the former
ruently. League courts are spring
ing up in various places and the peo
pie are instructed to have their dis
putes decided by such courts, and to
go no more to the sessions. Local
magistrates in the West of Ireland
have lately been surprised to find
that no cases aro brought before them
except by the poiire. The people
have been for some time advised to
take this course, but they are now
beginning to act thereon. As a rule
the penalties which such courts have
the power of inflicting are regarded
with more dread than those imposed
under the statutes. Another func
tion of the new government is the
levying of taxes. Licenses to sell at
fairs and in markets are required by
summary processes. The only ele
ment wanting to constitute a new
government is a standing army ; but
the material for one is at hand, and
is being fitted for use when called up
on. The knowledge of the fact ere
ates deeper alarm because with an
armed and disaffected population
n round them loyal snbjocts of the
Queen in many places believe that
the danger which lurks bentath is
more formidable than a visible terror.
This fear is rather confined than al
layed by the military preparations of
the government, and the arrival of
the first battalion of Cold Stream
Guards, and the orders of two more
regiments, indicate on the part of
the authorities a consciousness of im
pending danger.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Dec. 13, 1880.
Any description of the opening of
Congress last Monday would n6w be
old. A Urge crowd gathered to look
on, filling the galleVies and throng
ing the corridors, us usual but there
was nothing ' par tieulaily exciting or
of extraordinary interest in the event.
One thiug worthy of notice, perhaps,
was the cordial greetings and unus
ual good-nature manifested among
tho members, many of whom knew
that the brief session then opening
would be their last appearance upon
the scene'. Prominent" characters in
the panorama as viewed from the re
porters' gallery' were men known far
and wide. There was the tall and
erect form of Pernaudo Wood, that
throws a faint shadow of dignity over
the scene, and without whose sleek,
white haired presence it would hard
ly seem possible to open a bossiou of
Congress. Tben in painful contrast
is the weazened little crippled figure
of Alexander H. Stephens, shriveled
up in his wheel chair directly ia front
of the Speaker, . The broad-shonlder-ed
Blaekburn and the quiet, unosten
tatious Morrison, occupy contiguous
positions and both have ample evi
dences of popularity among fellow
members. Tho latter is the ablest
man in the Illinois delegation, and
the former cue of the best speakers
in Congress. Heistcr Clymer, who
treed Belknap, and Beltzhoovor,
whom the New York Tribune tried
so hard to defeat, are both promi
nent in appearance as well as famous
in name. Gen. Joe. Johnston and
tha one-armed Hooker, are two of
the conspicuous ex-confederates in
Congress, and both aro able men.
Over on the Republican side is lit
tle Conger, the sqeaky-voiced, offi
cious member from Michigan, who
aspires to leadership, to the speaker
ship, and to the senatorship, all far
above hi calibre. The seat of Gen.
Garfield is not quite empty. Page
of California rattles around in it.
Then not far away is the venerable
Judge Kelley,' immersed as usual in
a pile of newspapers, aud the rotund
Robeson, tho thrifty old salt of ti e
navy in Grunt's tira, an able mail
and a bad one as well, but a fair rep
resentative of the elements that are
uppermost in his party. One charac
ter noticed by everybody is the fas
tidious Acklen, the gay lothario of
the House, the breaker of women's
hearts and the destrover of
virtue. He can hardly be
female
said to
belong to either side, but he always
takes a position that overlooks the
galleries, and also enables the galle
lies to overlook him. It is said tbat
the portion f Mr. Hayes' inesngu
relating to Polygamy, was written
after consultation with Acklen and
Ben. Lefevre, of the House, and Ben.
Hill and Matt. Carpenter, of the
Senate. Certainly one or more ot
tions bearing on that or similar sub-
jects. Acklen was well reniftinlretl I
by bis female admirers in the norul
line. For that matter tributes of
this sort wero aa plentiful as black
berries on all hands.
The Senate kept up its repututton
for dignity on this occasion. Prtt?
much all the dignity we have iu thin
country is to be found located iu that
chamber. To an eye accustomed to
take in, from a lofty perch, above,
tVia liAmcdfinfl r.f Hint burlir vfnr Q f .
ter vear it is plainly perceptible that
many ot its
members show the ad-
vancca of time
and the wear of
thought. Senator Thurman looks
worn and weary. Burnside is feeble
Blaine is as robust as ever, time for
him seeming to have halted, leaving
him, like the Lotus-eaters, in the
ever-afternoon clime of perfected
Health aud streiigtn. voortiees l
getting older and slower da by day.
There are more wrinkles iu Ingall's
face to-day than a year ago, but his
hair curls just as natty as ever. Mc
Donald was fifty years old when he
was born and has not aged a day
since. There is no change in B-ck
or Buyard. . Salisbury throws his
head back and looks as sharply and
vigorously at the hibernating flies on
the ceiling as he did years ago, and
pives assurance of maintaining his
ability in that direction for many
years to come. Morrill's resemblance
to Charles Sumner becomes moro
and more appnrent every session.
Senator Grover, of Oregon, of whose
bad health there has been so much
said lately; was present at the open
ing, looking quite well and hearty,
and exciting the surprise of. those
who had been led to believe he was
no near death's door. No changes in
the Senate are more conspicuous
th an it a -cha nges of -person nel. A few
years ago 4he relics of Carpet-bag-gery
clung to this body, after they
had almost wholly disappeared every
where else. But now the Spencers,
the Pattersons, and .the Dorseys
have all disappeared, and Wm. Pitt
Eelloggr is the last remaining repre
sentative of his race. .
Comment on the message lias not
been particularly favorable here. The
stalwart portions of it, are pleasing to
the extreme Radicals, but there is
one thing in it so refreshingly ludi
crous that it in universally enjoyed
and appreciated by the members of
both parties. Tins is the section
where, after complimenting himself
and his administration for efforts in
behalf of civil rervice reform, he re
commends legislation permitting
every official to freely express hisovn
political sentiments, and to refuse,
if he so pleases, demands upon his
salary for political purposes. Such
talk as this, after the highwayman
style in which every government offi
cial was ordered to stand and deliver
at periodical intervals by the Repnb .
licn campaign committees from July
to .November is, as one Republican
Senator said, enough to make a horse
laugh.
The attention of Congress has thus
far been cbi fly occupied in a discus
sion of the electoral count resolution,
known as the M rgan resolution. I
was passtd by the Senate -last sea
sion, but carried over in the House
and made the special order for the
first Monday in December. It is sub
stantially a re enactment of the old
22od joint rule operated under by the
Republicans when they had both
bouses of Congress, but repealed by
them irrthe Senate after they found
it would give them no advantage
against a Democratic House. What
the Republicans contend for is an
arrangement that will keep every
thing in their own hands, hence,
since they lost control, of Congress
they claim that the Vice-President
alone counts the electoral vote. The
Democrats insist tbat it iu the Con
stitutional business of Congress. The
plan proposed by this resolution is
fair, and gives no advantage to either
party. It canuot even be foretold
what party will control Congress at
the next Presidential election, and
therefore there can possibly be no
partisan object in this enactment
But the Radicals know that what
ever else may happen, they will have
the Vice-President and they want to
clothe him with power for their ad
vantage. I think the resolution will
pass, because it ought to pass. But
after all, if it should not the Radicals
cn not steal another President in
the count. If the Democrats elect a
President four years hence he will be
inaugurated no matter who counts
the vote. Phono.

Coal-Mine Explosion iu England.
An explosion at Perygraig colliery
occurred on the 10th inst. The
shock was so violent that it was felt
for miles around, and the damage is
so great that explorers were not able
to descend into the mine for some
hours. One shaft is choked and there
is not the slighest hope of saving any
of the eighty men and eighteen horeta
still in the pit. Four men have been
brought up alive.
It is ascertain td that eighty-six of
the persons who were in the pit at
the explosion are dead.
The shock of the explosion was
felt for miles. around, the earth shak
ing as if there was an earthquake.
The most intense excitement prevails
throughout the vicinity; all the roads
