JENCL&NU AH D THE DYNAMITERS England has become very much ex cited over recent discoveries of pack ages of dynamite in some of the Lon don railway stations, and it is said has sent a courteous dispatch to this government in reference to the aid and comfort the dynamiters are sup posed to receive from this side of the water. The London Times grows in dignant and says that it is perfectly intolerable that these dynamite fiends should be permitted to proceed with impunity, and that no effort is made by the government of the United States to put a stop to their transac tions. What the men who nut dvna- mite in English railway stations to blow them up expect to accomplish we can't see, and we are equally at a loss to know how destroying property of that kind and endangering the lives of innocent people can better the condition of Ireland, that is. taking it for granted that it is Irish men who are engaged in it, and not the mere tools of the British govern ment, thus employed to create preju dice against the cause of Ireland. But be this as it may. it is not clear what steps this government could take to prevent men from going from this country to England to plant dynamite, or how it could be learned who these parties were, or what were their intentions when they arrived in England. If a close inspection of out going vessels were made to see that no dynamite contrivances were stow ed away among the luggage, and the inspection were searching enough to prevent 6uch contrivances being car ried on board, it wouldn't effect much, for the dynamite plotters can get everything they need for thei purpose in the city of - London, not withstanding the rigid enactments on the manufacture of guch explosives. The only way we see that England can help herself is to keep a sharp look out on the other side, and spot the characters that wear anvthine like a dynamite countenance. But because a few rattle brain Irish men in tins country openlv talk about and app'aud these dynamite schemes Encland should not take it for granted that they meet with the endorsement of. the people ot this country. The mass of neonla in this "jjourttry- do not endorse any such enseless transactions, in the concep tiotfof which they can see nothing but stupid folly or reckless malice, and whilst their sympathies are with the Irish; -people in the effort to ameliorate, their! condition, they re gard these dynamite idiots as among the worst enemies of that cause. Dakota must have a delightful cli mate for people who are fond of sud en extremes of weather. One day last week the' weather .was spring like. . The denizens of Bismarck were out basking in thn glorious sunshine, and the stores were throneed with ladies shoppings Suddenly a white cloud was seen coming from the direction of the snow covered moun tains, and inside of five minutes those basking denizens were rushing shiv ering indoors frtom the pelting storm. So dense was th snow fall that it was impossible to see houses across a street, and so quick was the change from spring warmth to winter cold that peopl tiadvto take refuge in the nearest houseenot hayg tirxre- to reach their homes.. . .Dakota is doubts less a great country, airieast in the line of impromptu blizzards. Mr. Josiah Turner, who, since his retirement from the editorship of the Raleigh Sentinel several years ago. has iog quite a retimllife at Uia hnme his home in Hillsboro, has again en tered the field of journalism with a monthly paper at Durham, under the name of The Truth. As we under stand it, it is not to be a political paper, but devoted mainly to gather ing up and recording historical facts and .incidents of interest past and present as bearing upon North Caro lina. He has our best wishes for the success of his new venture. v It is creditable to the people of the Southern States who suffered from the recent cyclone that no appeal went from them to Congress for aid, although that appeal would have come with quite as much propriety, as the appeal from the sufferers "by the Ohio flood: Senator Ransom, re- cle vr p0"1 when be 881(1 their action communities wllich might be similar ly afflicted.- , Thd advance parties of Scotch Crofters hav9 nrnved at LAurmburg, the nrsl iniirfibering twelve porsos arriving Fdjiy, sixtyre reacmngl there Saturday.

Ex-Senators Blaine and Thnrman will, it is announced, deliver addresses at the Southern Immigration Conven tion, to be held at Nashville, Term., on the lith of th present month. A heavy wind and snow storm pre vailed throughout the northern and central portions of New York Friday last. Trains on several of the rail roads were blockaded, and engineers say it was the worst storm they ever encountered. A writer in the Baltimore Day calls attention to the way civil service re form is violated by the Republican officeholders in Maryland. We would like to have some one show us where civil service reform is not violated by Republican officeholders. A proposition to submit a prohibi tion amendment to the voters of New York was defeated in the Assembly last Thursday by a majority of 2 in a vote of 123. The proposition was supported by the members from the rural counties, Republican and Dem ocratic, and opposed by the city members. A bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature providing that a will rr ay be filed in the proper office before the testator's death. There has been a law in Michigan for some time allowing any person to probate his owpj will, and thus, in a measure, forestall litigation over the validity of the instrument. The idea appears to be a good one. and probably other States, will engraft it on their laws. John S. Wise, since hi kitchen reference before the Sherman investi gating committee has excited his col ored constituents, is trying to explain it away by saying that the only col ored delegate who. ever called upon him at his house was a son of his old cook who went around to the kitchen, and Mr. Wise-saw him there. That's too thin. It don't settle the kitchen business, nor does it explain the allu sions to the riff raff of New York.. John is crawfishing. ..Harder lo Braaswlck. Wilmington Star. Elijah Lewis, colored, was arrested ant .iixigea in smitnvuie jaiu on Thursday, by constable' Henry Du rant, charged with the murder of an old colored man named Major Parker." lne latter, as we learn from bherui E. WTaylor, died at the house of Lewis on Tuesday night last, under suspicious circumstances. A jury of inquest was summoned and an exam ination took place, which developed tne tact tnat deceased had been bad ly beaten and maltreated. The ver diet of the jury was to the effect that Parker came to his death from beat ings and exposure inflicted and caus ed by Elijah Lewis. Deceased, wno was an old man, about 65 years of age, had been living with Lewis at a place known as Bat tle Royal, about ten miles from this city, where they had been engaged in making tar and getting out cross ties. Both of the men come to Bruns wick from Bladen county about a year ago. The evidence elicited be fore the coroner showed that Parker had been the victim of terrible treat ment on the part of Lewis, his body being badly cut up and disfigured. Lewis is held for trial at the next term of the Superior court for Bruns wick. He is about 32 or 33 years of age. Death f Henry F. Graiiger. Raleigh Ifews ft Observer. Within the past few weeks Golds boro has lost three of her prominent la wers and the State, in them, three of her best citizens, Smedes, Allen and Grainger. Mr. Grainger had not entered largely into public life, but still was known throughout the State as a man of unusual talents and ster ling worth. In the legislature he took a high stand and won a warm place in tke esteem of those with whom he came in contact, because of his steadfast devotion to principle and larsre patriotic views. He was an able lawyer, a close stu dent and possepsed tne entire confi dence of all who knew him. The intelligence of his sudden death will be a shock to a wide circle of ad mirine friends in every section of North Carolina. oefcr JBafcoae. A letter received in Washington by a prominent Virginia Republican from Col. John S. Mosby, under date of January 26th. savs: ''As Mabone's light has been snuned out, x do nope that the Virginia Republicans will consign him now to everlasting ob livion. To do that two things are necessary: (1.) Have a straighout convention and send delegates to Chicago -ignore Mahone and his gang altogether. (2.) Put out a straight electoral ticket and don't combine in any w av with Mahone. If he wants to come into the Repub lican party, let him come as a nigh private in the rear rank, and then let him serve in that capacity until ne is purged of all his sins. A Demoralizing Factor.

A writer in the Raieigh News and Observer, over the signature of ''Ad vocate," is writing up personal rem iniscences of the great lawyers of North Carolina. He draws the fol lowing pen sketch of Chief Justice Pearson:. Soon I encountered the legal ogre is his own castle-the Supreme court room, but how utterly disrobed of his terrors ! True, there was a digm ty, a reserve, an inscrutability, na tive to and inseperable from him, but all who fell within the magic -circle of his regard were constrained to feel instantly and instinctively . that there was a great, kind, appreciative nature full of sympathy for all ear nest and honest hearts; loving all who loved the law and perceiving in tuitively all of potency or promise in any one who ventured within his do main, it was an ' anetent demesne, for he loved the recondite, the curi-, ous and the intricate; but it was be cause his mind was so severely logi-1 cal that he was satisfied- only with the "reason of the thine " which he sought in its origin. In his personal appearance on the bench, Judge Pearson was, toward the close of his life, far from imposing, when first beheld. Considerably below the ordinary size, he seemed literally en tombed in the massive chair appro priated to the chief justice. Very feeble, too, and often wan and ex hausted he looked as the eve of the observer fell upon him ; but let some point of unusual pith and marrow, or some plausible sophistry fall from counsel in argument, and note you then the change. Those bright deep eyes, even in repose like those of Herr Von Teufelsdroekh. impressing you with the seeming stillness of a top in its swiftest mo tion, would brighten electrically, the form would grow erect, and vigor and resolution would mark every lineament. His voice in those days was low and hoarse, but he seldom failed to be heard, for all appreciated the fact that he spoke not idly. His conclusions were reached with the ease and rapidity which belongs to the vast majority of eases his deci- sions had been reached before he left the bench. To venture such a state ment of ordinary men would be a seriouslmputation but genius has its own moods an-1 methods, which we can only admire without hoping to understand. In defense of his methods it may be said that, nine times in ten, when an iutimation, pro or con., fell from the Chief Justice pending argument, it infallibly point ed to the opinion of the court. Though rarely modifying his first impress ions, he was fond of balancing reason with counsel, and this led in more than one important instance to the complaint that he was disposed to be captious and given to disputation. His greatest fault, be it reverently said, mna nn MffAimoM nrhiih ,n 'hid Int ter days, grew into an infirmary, to detect some one point in a case deci sive of the controversy ; whereas, the majority of cases depend on a multi tude of converging and modifying considerations. He was prone to rest on the Procrustean bed of his pre possessions, no matter how sad the requisite lopping.. With a fair edu cation in the ordinary curriculum, Judge Pearson was still far removed from a scholar; and, perhaps, m view ot nis natural vigor oi intellect, the vast preponderance of his legal learning over his other acquirements, bis love for all that was ancient i (with even a weakness for what was obsolete) in the law, the purity of his omcial career, and the enduring rev erence in which he is and will be held by the bar, it might not be un just or inappropriate to style him.
