Stye arlojic becrocr. CHAS. B. JOKES, EJitui and Proprietor Free from the doting scruple s that fetter oar free-torn reason." FRIDAY, MARCH 28,1879. THE LAST TRAGEDY. Xj crime that has been committed during this present epoch of murder and violence, surpasses in its fearful suggestiveness that perpetrated day be fore vesterdav in the streets of the capital city of Kentucky. A suitor against whom had gone a case in court, arms himself deliberately, lies m am bush and shoots down like a dog the iudce who had presided at the" hearing of his case. The whole story is not yet to hand, but the bare fact above given i faUMiiMtPil lo arouse very serious re lied ions. We have reached a sad state indeed wlien a judge on the bench must determine his rulings according w thonluintiff nr the defendant is "on the shoot." Verily, Kentucky is rapid lv earning her title to the name, "the dark and bloody ground." presently she will be able to vie with Pennsylva nia and Texas in the length and in the deepness of die of her criminal record. Whtish eiplajiatfoplof all this bloodsie$ fi&e df lale The iuiswer is plaiiiffn&ijgh; we have give ait before now. It is because the price of a life is so very cheap; because so many men commit murders and after a few months' imprisonment are turned loose, to repeat their achievements. Think you that man, day before yesterday would have drawn that fatal bead had he knoum that his own life would pay the forfeit V Never! How many men with the certainty of punishment be fore their eyes, would commit a crime which w ould entitle them to death ? Here is where the evil lies, and it may be noticed that the increase of crime is in direct ratio with the de crease of hangings. There is talk every now and then of abolishing capital punishment altogether, het it be done and every man will be a walking arse nal and every man the proprietor of a .small grave-yard. The reverse of the above proposition is what is; wanted: that the execution of capital, punish ment upon those guilty of capital of fences shall be more speedy anil certain than it is. An improvement in our judicial methods is needed and a sterner public sentiment. It would be wellj too, to reverse the adage for awhile and pro claim that it is better that one inno cent man should suffer than that nine ty and nine murderers should escape scot free. KlXM.Yfl AWAY WITH THE COACHMAN. The girl who runs away with the coachman, the gardener and the fasci nating butler, springs forth with peren nial freshness; and again she comes to the front in the person of Miss Nellie, the handsome and accomplished daugh ter of ex-Gov. Hubbard, of Connecticut, who deserts her luxurious home, with its ancient and honorable traditions and ancestral relics, to share the lot of Frederick Sheppard, her father's amia ble but impecunious coachman. In the single sentence which we have just written, there is enough romance to form an Able novel, but whether this match will turn out as the novels do by the young man soon acquiring a competency, and the old man becoming reconciled, dying and leaving all his money to the truant daughter and her husband, the latter of whom turns out to be a Russian count who has tied hith er from iersecution we say whether this match will thus turn out remains yet to lie seen. There are many reasons for doubting it. While love in a cottage is a nice enough thing to those who were brought up that way, itfis a well established fact that those who were not, but have to come to it, are not de lighted with it for more than two or three days at a time. It is rb be hoped that Mrs. Sheppard, nee Hubbard, will prove an exception to the rule, but there are reasons to doubt that had she pondered sufficiently over the magni tude of the change upon which she has entered ; had she remembered, as the Philadelphia Times puts it, that she was leaving an elegant home "for a dark and dingy room in some back street, with slurry cnuuren crving, where or gans yell and clacking house-wives fume and clothes are hanging out all day a-drying had Miss Hubbard duly considered these things, the god of rea son might have got the better of the god of love. Were he more hjehly born or she more lowly, we might wish the enterprising couple all good fortune, but there is not often much: good for tune in store for girls who are so much wiser than their fathers and their mends, and the best we can hoie for Miss Hubbard is that her Jack Shep pard may turn out less of a rascal than present appearances would indicate." Mail Service and Appropria tion?. A. very brief note, from Col S'.eele, received yesterday, informs" us that he will try to extend the "star ser vice" in thi3 district and expects to be ab.e to dp something in that line. As to appropriations however, for mints, post-office, &c, these are oirjjpf the ques- lion, at least ror some time ; to come, and need not be expected Danville and Greensboro, he says, which came in before lie was first elected to Congress, are still unprovided for. ; Col. Steel aids: "It is a big job to get anything, especially unless a member is on one of th3 favored committees, and that is r.s Mr. Randall pleases.' Wk Cannot. A friend writes us from Dalla, Gaston courtfe? j The Legislature passed, an act to ?rohibit the sale of liquors ih numerous Qualities." Can you give uthe names fit these places, at least in tlis vicinity ? "We cannot. This was jan omnibus bill and the names of the places in cluded in it cannot be known until the laws are published except ?by securing a duplicate copy" of this particular law from, the office, of (the Sefcretrry of State,, . . ... J ' sootd doctrine. ThP nroiwr relation of each of the three cardinal departments of our State government has been admirably set out by the Supreme Court of Florida in a r ' -- - case growing out of the late Congres? sional election in that State. Proceed ings were instituted by Bisbee, the Re publican claimant of the seat recently given by the House to his Democratic competitor, Hull, to compel the gover nor to issue to him a certificate of elec tion to Congress from tfie second dis trict of Florida. The Florida Supreme Court holds that the executive and ju dicial departments of the government are entirely independent of each other in official action, and that the Governor, in the performance of his executive du ties, cannot be drawn under the guard ianship of the judicial depart meut; that the act which is sought by Mr. Bisbee to have the court require the Governor to perform is the act of the Governor as Governor in his political, executive ca pacity not a discretionary duty, it is true, but, though ministerial in its na ture, yet political, and an executive function of the office of Governor legit imately imposed by the Legislature; that for neglect or violation of duty in his executive functions he is responsi ble only to the constitutional power of the Assembly before the Senate, acting in its judicial capacity, and that "to em ploy, the power of the courts in the busi ness of managing the office of Gover nor, and directing him in the exercise of executive duties, is to blot out the character given him in the constitution of 'Supreme Executive' and Chief 'Mag istrate' of the State, and reduce him to the level of secretary or county clerk. If the courts have this power, and com mand him to obey, they must have the power also to imprison him for con tempt when he shall see fit to differ from them in reference to his duties, and neglect to obey a writ, which shall command obedience," and thus deprive the State of its executive head. And that to assume that the courts have the power to direct what acts he shall per form as the Governor of the State, or what acts he shall not perform (for if he can be commanded by them to do, he can le restrained from doing), is to place the office of Governor in a jxisi- tion interior to that ot a judge ot a court of record, and absorb the power of the executive. One of the first bills thrown into the Senate the other day, was a bill provid ing for the removal of the political dis abilities of ex-Confederates who are still denied the right of citizenship. The list contains thirty names ;tt pres ent, and .lefferson Davis heads all the rest. The bill is now in the, hands of the judician committee, of which Mr. Thurman is chairman. When it is re ported back there will music in the air. There is beginning to be some talk in uth Carolina again alxmt the calling of a convention to amend the constitu tion of the State. If South Carolina will take the advice of those who have within the past few years tried this thing on, she will let constitutional con ventions alone. A great many newspapers, we notice. are coming to The Observer's view of the question of a deadly weapon law. There is no doubt in our mind that it is the correct position, and calm reflection will, we believe, satisfy any reasonable mind that ours is the practical view of the matter. A FEARFUL CRIME A N IT PENALTI. A FKARFUL A Nearo Who had Ravished a Child Thai Roasted. i Hanged and St. Lours, March L'T. A Fort Scott. Kansas, dispatch says: "Tuesday, Bill Howard, a negro who had cruelly and diabolically outraged Clara Pond, 12 years old, was discovered in an old mine six miles from the city. The pris oner was brought to town and lodged in jail. J he excitement was intense and, threats of lynching were made. The crime is so horrible as to be without parallel in criminal history. Last night a crowd of fully 1,000, accompanied bv 30 masked men with drawn revolvers, wok mm irorn jan, nea a rope around his neck, dragged him five blocks, and hung him to a lamp-post on one corn er of the public square. After hanging him for 15 minutes, on the cry, 'Burn him! burn himT the crowd took the body down and, in spite of the resist ance and objection of the more calm and peaceable portion of the crowd, roasted and burned it in a fire of drv goods boxes and coal oil amid demon strations that rivalled Pandemonium." Singular and Shock' ng Deaf. Charleston News and Courier, 20th. A terrible and somewhat singular ac cident resulted in the death of a colored man named David Smalls, occurred in Tradd street yesterday morning about 10 o'clock. It seems that York Fraser, colored, was driving a truck loaded with six tierces of rice, from Chisolm$ Mills to a warehouse on East Bay, and when the truck had reached the vicini ty of Council street, Small, who is a cousin of Fraser, ran behind it and jumped up. This much he accomplish ed safely. He then tried to make his way forward to the driver's seat and had almost reached it when he stum bled and fell under ther wheels of the truck. Before the driver could stop his horse one wheel had passed over the stomach and chest of the unfortunate man and crushed every spark of life out of his body. t m The Mixed Occupation or Eastern Rou mella How Russia Is Influenced, London, March 27. The Times' Vienna dispatch says: "Russia, in re commending mixed occupation of Eastern Roumelia, was strongly in fluenced by a desire to secure the non application of the clause in the treaty of Berlin authorizing the governor of Eastern Roumelia, in case of an emer gency, to seek aid of the Turkish troops, She desired also to delay, at least for a tim, the garrisoning of the Balkans by the Turks."
