Wiln There lias lieen a "Ood deal of dis enssion and many opinions openly expressed as to the best way to pre vent the lynching of men eharod with er'mie. Lynehiiij,' is not eon fined to this country, for there are some crimes which by common con sent are outlawed, and if the perpe trators are eaiiLzht but little mercy will be show n them and little ceremo ny shown in viitino; vengeance upon theiii. There is in society an instinct ive sene. if we may so express it. of self preservation and when that ques tion is presented it brushes aside the snail-paced formalities of the law and administers ret ributive justice w ith its own stern hand. It never punishes the innocent if it knows it, and never the merely sus pected when there is no proof of " wilt. The only instance of this kind that we know' of was the shooting of those six nerro prisoners, near Mil- linutoii, Tcnn., who were suspected j of bclor.!nnir to a jano- ()f ineendia- j ries; but society, with spontaneous! indignation, condemned that, and ' the ollicers of the law are now doiuir all they can to hunt down and brinir t j isttce the brutal perpetrators of that butt hery. l!i;t how to prevent lynching is the .' 1 (ucstion. It will continue while the causes continue, and justice by the1 slow process of law as now ad min is- tered is so tardy. The first step in i thedirection of prevention is for those ' who have any influence over theclass j of people uiven to the crimes which! call aloud for vengeance, is to use that influence to prevent the perpe tration of these crimes, and the next ! is to have the perpetrators when cap tured, tried at once and if convicted, punished at once. The certainty of t his would have more of a deterring influence than lynching. There should bo courts in every county where they do not already exist, where these cases could bo ! tried at any time without waiting j three or six months for the regular ! courts. An instance occurred some : time airo in Virginia where a man ; charged with rape was arrested one i day. tried and convicted the next j day and sentenced to death the third. and but a few days ao there was I another whore a criminal with like j charge, was arrested, tried and con victed the same day. With such speedy justice us this there would be little occasion for improvised lynch c mrts. A Sharper Iranpcd. li:irl..tte Nrws. .1. Moses, colored, a son-in-law of Jack Street, a Diddle Institute student, hotel waiter, etc.. who has ! been livin' here for six vears past. last week made application for ex amination as a clerk in the mail ser vice.

It can't coin money or passu tar'UT bill. Tt can elect a United States Senator, and will have sever al ,food men to choose from. How ever they may differ on the silver question, the people of Georgia have confidence in their integrity and will acquiesce in whatever choice may bo made. If a choice cannot be made, then there are some outsiders equal ly cajKible and honest, upon whom all could aree. lut our next Legislature will have enough to do in looking after Stale affairs. Some things have got to be done, and a jjood many things left undone. There has jot to be a re formatory for youni criminals. Any further neglect of providing such an institution will be shameful, dis graceful, inhuman. It will cost money, of course. So does the lu natic asylum. We can't afford to destroy the lads under sixteen years of ae by putting them in the chain l;;iii.i; with confirmed and desperate criminals. There is an orphanage at Clinton. S. C. where the little waifs are taken and schooled and trained to useful occupations, and almost without exception they have proved io be e-ood men and ood women, and are doiny well in the world. We sent two little boys there yesterday from our town. Tt is a noble charity, and I had rather stand before my Maker at the judgment with Dr. Jacob's record than that of a president or a kiiir. ! And just so the State can make good Observer ot September ': It ! citizens of these lads who are more j ''u known that all persons j..in ; to be pitied than orphans, for they ! 11"'S' trips are expected to pay i have been led astray by bad exam- j pie or dire distress. There is no ' need to argue Ihe (iiiestion. The ar- i gument has long since been exhaust-1 ed. Some years ago Mrs. Lou Gor don visited the reformatory at Ehni ra. N. V.. and ever since her impres sive letter was published I have felt that our ow n great State was sinning against heaven in not providing a similar institution. 1 n this connection we would also urge upon the Legislature the neces sity of a board of pardons. No need to say the Governor can attend to this. He cannot. When some friend of the convict interests himself and ! misconception, prejudice and vaga gets the judge and the solicitor and ries its career must necessarily be some of the jury to sign a petition. ' ephermeral. The recent State elec- the Governor takes the papers and considers the case as considerately j as his time will permit, but he can- j not investigate thoroughly. Hut who lends an ear to the poor follow who has no friends? What time has the commissioner to listen? Ts there absolutely no hope for a repentant man who for years and years has worked in chains, and is to work on and on a prisoner without hope? 1 believe in my heart that there ! are many negroes and some whites in the chaingangs who, while they 'deserved their sentence now deserve a pardon. 1 believe that a board of j ignorance and idiocy and other for pardons should investigate every j eign and poisonous elements in the conviction, and it nmy prove what i political system. John Howard found to be true, that j lt it die, and the sooner the bet there were some convicts who should tor. The only thing it can do now not have been convicted. A friend less prisoner, whether white or black, with no money and no influential friends, does not have a fair chance with the power of the State against him. The solicitor's reputation is at stake, and so is his fee. It would be better to pay him $1,0110 a year and no perquisites no insolvent list for him and the sheriff to divide out of tines and forfeitures. But there are more things for the Legislature to not do than to do. Some of the Populist leaders are try ing to bait the negroes with free school books, and, of course, this I would catch some of the whites, who are as bad off as the negroes for free things.

I see from the June number of the Aorth Carolina leaeher, pajes 418-41!, an account of a settlement between Col. E. G. Ilarrell and Messrs. Denson, Noble and Howell, Auditing Committee, showing the Assembly debtor to Mr. Ilarrell :?.")':3. 7. A s the Teachers' Assem bly is a State institution, the people have a rirht to criticise its management therefore. I call attention to the fact that in the aforesaid settlement there is no mention of the amount collect ed by Col. Ilarrell as Assembly fees from the World's Fair party. The amount must have been a large one as Mr. HarrcH's communication from Greenbrier White Sulphur Springs of Aug. 1st reported three hundred persons in the party, and a later let ter dated Chicago, Aug. 5th, publish ed in the News and Observer of Aug. Oth, reported over three hundred. Now suppose one half of these were Men at '2 each - - - - .'JI0 And one half ladies at $1 - - 150 There would be a sum of - - $450 which amount would materially les sen the indebtedness of the Assembly to Col. Ilarrell. the Treasurer. Note what was said in the News and Ob server of September "24. ISK.'i. in Mr. Han-ell's letter 1o Hon. J. J. Hlair: "It was stated in all the circulars that the Assembly fee would be charged all persons who took advan tage of the privileges of this trip, and up to this time no objections have been made by the Executive Committee to receiving this member ship fee, which I have collected for the Assembly." Again in the News j this Assembly fee or keep out of these parties." I think from the above facts that in calling the public is justifiabl. the for an explanation. Al.KX. 1?. G A I. l.oV A V.

New York, Sept. 17, 1S14. j Business conditions during the past week have continued to im prove. The statistics of trade tell an almost uniform story of gradual and healthful expansion. Hank clear ings are increasing. The August to tals gained 5.C percent, for the whole country and 1H.3 per cent, outside of New York, while for the first week in September there was an increase in the payments through all banks of 11.4 per cent. Railroad earnings, which declined 17.0'2 per cent, in the last week of August, 1SD3, showed this year a gain for that week, ac cording to partial returns, of 7.4: per cent. Commercial loans are ex panding. The returns of the New York banks show that total loans of $4!)l,70l,400 by those institutions are not only in excess of what they were in 1S!1 and l.J2, but within less than $5,000,000 of being the largest on re cord. Industrial output is steadily improving, the notable gains being in iron, leather and textiles. In nearly all branches of the dis tributing trade ;he week's rejorts indicate that recent gains have been maintained or that the volume of business has further enlarged. The most discouraging feature of the sit uasion is the probability of a short corn crop, the commercial effects of which will be only in part offset by the larger yield of other cereals and the j promised big crop of cotton. Mer- J chandise exports continue moderate, and are still overbalanced by im ports. In two weeks at New York alone imports have increased $1,:;S, 740 and exports have declined $2.7oS, 045 in comparison with the totals for the corresponding period last year. Ofl'cial returns of the principal class es of exports in August make the to tal $::.o75.;si, as against $45.";;, 1(2. the decrease having been chiefly in breadstuffs.

In the grain trade there is a pi'ejionderance of belief, based on careful and conservative inquiry throughout the principal corn-growing regions, that the official figures are from 400,000.000 to ."ioo.oo0.ooo bushels t'H low.
