Two C.oort Point. Charlotte tas one of tlie most sen sible Mayor's in the State, as well as a progressive one. In Mayor Mc Dowell's recent report, he alluded to a matter of consi.lerableiraportance. He has made his points so pla;n that we copy them, for the purpose of bringing the matter to the attention of our people and the public gener ally: "1$ is not conceived to be either the spirit or the intention of the law , to punish the ignorant, the same as the intelligent, or those who have not arrived at the years of discretion, as much as those who had the time and opportunity to become acquaint ed with the observances aud usages of society. Yet the plain cold letter of the law, makes no distinction be tween the learned and unlearned or between untried youth and expert enced age. The mayor has had cases, and pitiable ones, of mere children, arraigned for larceny aad other grave offenses. They were too young, too ignorant, to discern where the shades of virtue ended, and those of vice be gan. As a sworn officer of the law, every magistrate is bound to issue all such warrants, when the requisite affidavits are made. Still the ex treme youth and obvious blindness of such criminals are often such that he is forced to the conclusion that it is neither right, just nor humane to commit them to the cell of older cul prits, or even send them op to a higher court. The object in touch ing upon this subject, is to impress upon the representatives we send to the State Legislature, the importance to society and to humanity of either changing the law, or of establishing workhouses or reformatories to make useful tradesmen and citizens of a class that are in danger of becoming throughout the land. "Another suggestion to the Legis lature. In order to guard against collusion between officer aud offen der, to prevent injustice to the ag grieved and absolution to the aggres sor, it is recommended that it be maae uniawiui tor a mayor or magistrate, in affrays, assaults and other criminal offenses, to take the mere submission of one party with out the knowledge and concurrence of all. It is an outrage upon justice and an encouragement to crime, for an individual to feel that he can wreak revenge upon his adversary, then fly to an officer, and in the ab- sence of witnesses, represent his side of the affair, pay a trivial fine and costs, and then go free. It is to be hoped action will betaken to remedy this lameness and bad defect in our State laws." II Will not Have Slauy To low era. Laiogtoa DUattch. Rev. J. II. Bootn and another re. verened gentleman whose surname i Elatcbler, have been in ourcountrv few days trying to enlighten our peo pie in regard to toe leacbiog the Scripture. Mr. Booth wm formerly a Baptist preacher; but it seems that inn Lrfrd oat shown him tht not only Baptist, but all other denomi nations art wrong. These brethren rant to gather the good and pure frda all seels, and have Jesus in the eentcNJ the patheriug. Mr. Boot; ays thafttfristian should come out from the wVR lio-jld not eves hold office. It mJt be remarked th jt on ibis point, a auuttMTj opinion it Bel" by some of our Batirms, who hitherto Lave been eomiSfaeJ good peojue. The Author Known. Our esteemed contemporary, the Raleigh "News-Observer," takes um brage at the statement made by our Raleigh correspondent to the effect that the assault made upon Judge 'owle was written in Raleigh. We are sure that our correspondent who is a careful writer did not in end to do Raleigh an injury, and we are glad to learn that it was not written there the home of Judge owle. But the "News-Observer" did not copy the entire paragraph; for it would have explained how it, were possible for the impression to have been created that it; was written m Raleigh by being offered to the "State Chronicle"' tor "publication and by that journal refused. In the absence of other facts we were im pressed with the same idea as that entertained by our correspondent, until we learned otherwise, and we ake the first opportunity to set Ral eigh aud our correspondent right be- foieour readers. - It is now the general impression that the assault was written in States- ville and by no less a person thai Hon. R. F. Armfield. In denounc ing the publication, as we did some days ago, we have nothing to take back. If Cob Armfield did write it he came under the band of our cen sure and we are indeed surprised that a man of his ability should be guilty of such a despicable deed. Especially so when be f ollows right upon the heels of his assault and acknowledges that he is mistaken, after he has ex amined into the matter. It seems to us that a man of his knowledge, and the confidence reposed in him by thel Democrats of the State, would have displayed more judgment in this matter, and made the examination before he made the assault Shame upon you Col. Armfield! Where Does the Fault Ue! Xadiioa taadar. The almost daily startin? reports 0 horrible crimes, adroit forgeries and embezzlements that meet the the when we open a r wspaper teems to prove with forcible id undeniable logie that the morality of the human race is unking far below par. .While it is true that the annals of the past and present teem to poibt that wty it it a fallacy to believe that the whole human race it degenerating in point of moral. If the newspapers were faithful and consistent chroniclers of rents and happenings a different aide of the picture would be to oar view in the recital of the many deed of charity, love aad christian kind nest that is daily passing on around os, almost without notice. Many an act of true manliness and devotion to duty that woulj far outshine the heroic deeds of the devoted martyrs of old, is, like the flower of the de sert, "born to blush unseen" save by the eye of God. If good and evil were allowed to balance accounts the christian act of to-day -ould to far overbalsnceltbe evil that the hater would teem at but a drop of mud amidst a dazzling, scintillating mas of diamonds. But also? mainly the evil deeds of mankind are presented to the people by the freit of to-day. I be papers are not to blame for it, however, they are but the reflect"! of public sentiment, and mutt give what their readers demand. . They mut pander to the depraved taste of the people for tucb reading or ceae to exist. If the world were as read v to give the need cf praise to a worth? deed and at eager to bear of such things, at it it to past Judgment on toe orul ter or murderer and to read with ghoulish delight tbt horrib'e re cilalof fiendfch crimes, then tbe netripjpert would gladly drop tucb things from it columns and take up a purer pen. Until then you mutt blame yourself only for the wesen tation tf tbt darker tide of tbepano rams tr jue. - The CurttiaKO AfinisMuaaoii. ' Baltlgb Vititor.
