The Pan (laudle counties of West
Virginia, Ilandcock, brooke, Ohio and
Marshall, want to be added to Pennsyl
vania.
Tho project ot starting a first class
paper in this State, with a capitol of
twenty-fiyo thousand dollars, is being
privately discussed. li soerns the
scheme is as yet too ill defined to render
it expedient to make known any partic
ulars, or venture to predict whether the
matter will be entertained with that
degree of favor which will eventuate in
Its taking form.

the Hayne-Wilde memorial fund we
note that of George W. Childs, of Phil
adelphia, for SSOO. Tbts is a grace
ful recognition of tbeso Southrons who
were not only gemlc souls but true
poets. The world docs not forget tho j
names of its poets, for to quote Join
er sou's words called out by the death
of an sstimable character—
"Whatever is excellent,
As Oo'J lives, is permanent."
Thomas Stevens, who is rounding the
world with his bicycle, after having
caused anxious solieitude for his safety,
has tnrned up in Japan, and is now
making his way homeward on a steamer
bound for San Francisao. He was ston
ed by tho natives at one point in the
interior of China barely esoaping with
his life aud was at another point attack
ed by a mob of people who broke his
bicycle and would have killed him but
for some soldiers 'who rescued him from
th-cir fury.
The Charlotto Church Mtssenfter eu
tcrcil upon its ninth year on Jan. Ist,
with much eulurgcd bordors. It is well
edited and neatly printed on good paper.
It should be read by any ono with pleas
ure, and with benefit too, whether he be
a member or not of the Episcopal Church
of which it is an organ. It should be
liberally sustained, and wo are glad to
see that it is prospering. It is cheap
at $1.50. Specimen copies may be had
from the office of publication in Char
#
lotte.
The Erie Express on the Baltimore
and Ohio R. R. collided on Jan 4, with
a freight train a mile west of Republic.
O. (8 miles from Tifton) and about twen
ty passengers were crushed and burned
ta death. The express was running as
is supposed, at a speed of not less than
60 miles an hour, and was westbound.
The freight cast bound was probably
malting a rate of speed not less than 30
miles an hour. The two sleeping cars
did not leave the 'rack, nor was any ot
the passengers in them hurt in the least.
Mrs fish, of Joliet, 111 , sister of Gen.
Logan and her son Charles, were among
the passengers in the sleepers.
Gen. Logan, who died suddenly in
Washington on Sunday j26tli of Decem
ber, of a cute rheumatism, was one of
the most popular leaders of the Repub
lican party. Though his education was
defective, ho possessed considerable
natural ability. His death leaves a
vacancy in the Senate which will be
filled by an election by the Legislature
of Illinois now in session. It is Re
publican on joint oallot by seven major
ity. He wouldjbave been a proihinent
candidate for the Picsidential nomina
tion in 1888, had not death broken ou
Lis career.
IS CRIME INCREASING '
The Wilinmgtm Star in a recent ed
itorial on crime and i/j causes remarks:
, "It is a fact that crime is steadily
increasing in the South. Prior to the
war, in Slavery timer, murders among
negroes were comparatively rare; amoug
the whites they wero vory rare indeed
as oompered with the present, la North
Carolina, we are pained to say, crime is
mnoh more rife and abounding than at
any former time. We have but little
doubt tfeat in the hist five years there
have been more murders, or attempts to
kill occurring in North Carolina than in
or in any twen
ty years before the war."
' It cannot be doubted that orime bas
beoome alarmingly rampant, but whetb- |
er it 18 increasing beyond the ratio in !
which our population has swelled within I
! the last two decades, we are not prepar-
Icd to say. But we Ore inclined to think 1
I that it cannot be denied 'by those who !
J are able aud willing to l«mk facts in the
face that there are seemingly strong in
dications of a relapse into a period of I
| social and political disorganization such
j as has never been witucssed in America,
j liv the optimist this idea would of course
|be scouted. We copy tho opinion of
j the llaleigh Biblical Recorder with the
j Star's coiuiucut thereon as follows :
• ' 4 'lt is probable that worn murders
' were committed in North Carolina dnr
j ,ng the past year than in ar.y half dozen j
I years since 1805. Nearly'every county j
j has had its Aimiual and its victim,
j Nearly every community in the State!
has been shocked by the terrible an- '
nouncement that some one of its citi
zens has teen murdered.
"The number of these terrible exper
iences bare rapidly increased during J
the last Ovo or six years. The people [
arc becoming alarmed and arc asking!
not only for the causes that have led to
this deplorable aud ruinous state of pub
lic morula, but ai»i equally'interested in
d scovering some reritedy for the evil.'
Whatever the oaases of this alarming
and dreadful increaso of crime the fact
remains, we take it. We could again I
discuss the causes as we have done iu ■
former editorials, but it would probably
do no good. AsWelookat it the chief
causes for increase of crime, asido from
natural depravity and widely prevailing
tendencies to evil, are the following : j
First, dcfocts in the criminal law and j
tha failure of Courts to render speedy j
verdicts.
Second, a false publio sentiment that I
condones' crime and sympathizes with ;
villains. This is seen in numerous ap- j
plications extensively signed for execu
tive clemency, and in bestowing floral
tributes by foolish women upon such
red-handed murderers as ( luverius. j
Fourth, the one-man power.
Fifth, the failure of prosecuting offi- j
ccrs to do their duty.
Sixth, the jury system.
The list might be exuuded, but these |
constitute the chief causes of crime,;
and until they are corrected there will
be but little abatement of crime. It isj
simply most deplorable that in a Statu
that has been always so law aoiding as
North Carolina a so many incarnate dev
ils should despoil aud kill and deflower
and sow the w'.urlwind."
It may be questioned whether the
ends of justico would not be batter serv
ed by a professional jury than by the
Jury as empanelled under the present'
law. It is not uncommon tc see a jury. l
sitting on the trial nf a prisoner, com. 1
posed in part of unintelligent men who
for lack of ability to weigh the points of
the evidence are inclined to disagree to,
a verdict ot' guilty under the mistaken
idea that they ate giving the prisoner at
the bar the benefit of a reasonable doubt.
