That disreputable editor in Quincy, 111.,
Is still laboring to get himself tarred and
feathered, or tossed into Use river, or some
thing of the sort) and it isn't at all im
probable that he may succeed yet. Here
is one of his latest efforts ih that direction :
"We stand by the record. ! James A. Gar
field was a bad man living, and he is a bad
man dead. He has been sent to his ac
count, Let him answer for hid crimes as
best he may. As God reigns, we believe
his soul was shot into hell: by an assassin's
bullet." It is fortunate for the. South that
that disreputable editor in Quincy is an

oat with Grant on that line all summer."
Paul." Morphv, the celebrated chess
player, is, it is said, afflicted with two sin
gular hallucinations. One ia a horror ot

tinually recurring notion' that unless he
can secure a loan bf $200 he will be fi
nancially ruined. His condition is well
understood by his friends, and he goes
about among them asking ior a loan ol
' $200, which is never refused, 'and whieh
he never takes. When hb drops into an
office with this request, apparently in ex
treme anxiety, the friend to whom he ap
plies responds : "Certainly, Mr; Morphy;
will you take the money now t" lie is in

The body of a young lady was buried
fifteen years ago in a cemetery six miles
east of the" village of Afton, in Chenango
county, N. Y. It was removed recently
to the new cemetery in the village. The
Enterprite says that when the coffin was
ready to be removed from the grave it was
discovered that the body sfas petrified, and
'required the united efforts of four men to
raise it, and could not hafe! weighed less
Chan four hundred pounds, 'although in
life she would not hare weighed more than
125 pounds. Tbo clothing Was decayed
and resembled a veil-like texture over the
body, i The hair, which in life was very
abundant, was still in a perfect state of
preservation. The features jWere a little
shrunken and the hands retained their po
sition, folded across the breast. Another
body, which was buried about six years
ago in the same cemetery not fifteen, feet
distant, was removed, but with no signs of
petrification. J 1;
Zadkiel's Almanac for 13882 has just
been published, and predicts.. all sorts of
pleasant and unpleasant , ttangs lor in is
country. Its editor, Zadkicl Too Sze, ob
serves in the preface that the spread of an
intelligent faith in planetary Influence will
soon make everybody acknowledge astrol
ogy and compel the press td cease their
abuse of its votaries. The predictions are
that in the latter part of February next
ereat excitement will prevail 3n New York,
and a., great conflagration will take place
in that city. An epidemic :of diphtheria
and small-pox threatens Washington -for
March. "About the middle of April
3Iare will transit the ascendant of the
vernal ingress at Washington,' producing
great excitcmsnt in the States ; the Presi
dent's position will be an unenviable one."
The general outlook for this country for
some six months to come is by no means
favorable. A financial panic and the
burning, of a theatre are predicted for New
York ; great excitement, much violence,
and shocks of earthquakesre anticipated
kfor the country at large. Some great
American will suffer degradation. Put
about August next everything will be put
in good shape again by the beneficent m-
fluence 0f Jupiter in Gemini. Excellent
crops and. important measures of reform in
the direction of civil service, trade and
commerce may be expected for next
autumn. '
When the Cyprian was wrecked; on
the coast of Wales a few . weeks ago, the
two hundred people whoj stood horror
stricken along the shore saw an act of he
roism rarely witnessed under any circum
stances. The captain, John A Strachan,
of Liverpool, had told those on board that
every one must loo i to hitnseK Most of
the crew had -dropped overboard, and
CapL Strachan also prepared to leap into
the billows. He tied a life-belt about his
waist and mounted the rail. At that mo
ment he noticed the pale ; face of a boy
peering from below decks.' The lad was a
stowaway. A few hours!,; ago he was a
sneak, an unworthy thing,; a miserable pil
ferer of privileges, ' but now the skipper
only remembered he was a human being,
to be saved if possible -r at- any rate not to
be left behind. Without -a word Captain
Strachan unbuckled the life-belt from his
waist and lashed it ship-shape upon the
little stowaway, bidding hjtu save himself.
"I can swim," .said the cajHain, "take the
belt." Over the side went the stowaway,
lifted upon the surf like cork ; over the
side went the captain, trusting, like the
good, brave fellow tnatfhe was, to his
strength, enfeebled with; long watching
and anxiety. But swimming was impos
sible in such a sea. The boatswain, strug
gling for his own life, caught at the cap
tain, who was still making headway, and
both went down, never to be seen again,
while the little stowaway; with the good
captain's life boat about his waist, was flung
upon the Welsh coast, battered about,: but
alive to tell the story of .his (strange ate
and his kind friend's heroism.
The star-route cases have been brought
to an early close. The court, as we un
derstand it, has stricken from its rolls the
"information" which the "government had
filed instead of having-the defendants
prosecuted by the grand jury. As we said
a few days ago, District Attorney Corkoill
had even then begun to apologize for the
government, and now the reason for hLa
apology becomes apparent. And as we
said then, it was too much to hope that
Brady and his pals would be punished.
Distinguished Radicals are seldom brought
to jostiee for robbing the government. A
poor fellow who distills a gallon or two of
whisky for his own use on the sly is sent
to the Albany penitentiary, but Brady and
Dorsey and the rest of the brethren ban
steal millions from the people's treasury
and go scot-free. This is justice. It is
not only justice, but it is Republican law,
The Judge at Washington says it is law.
Information' after information has been
filed in our federal courts without number,
It is the common practice to proceed that
way in the courts at Washington, but
woito lb is excellent praecipe wnen poor ici
lows are to be tried, it won't answer when
Brady is the man. But such are the
beauties of a Btalwart administration. No
wonder Brady goes scot-free when Arthur
is the. President. But it -would seem that
the real trouble antedates Arthur's accession-
to power. The Judge, however,
would - probably have decided otherwise
were not the stalwarts , in power. Yet : a
fair share of the blame ought to be fas
tened on those officers of the government
who did not take measures to prosecute
until it was too late. '
From the beginning it bas been a mis
erable botch. It must ';be remembered
that Mr. Brewster was not called into th'
ease until the information, had been filed,
and then it was too late.
And so we suppose ends the farce.
Millions stolen ; the thieves known ; the
evidence at hand; the- grand jury in
session; but no indictment' sent. After
wards, the government files a paper which
the court throws out.
What a commentary on the administra
tion of our public affair.- But such are
Republican methods. When will the peo
ple arouse themselves to the iniquities of
these unfaithful public servants and drive
them from the places they so inefficiently
and so corruptly fill ?

Says the Boston Herald: "A Demo
cratic paper at Raleigh, N. C, will be sat
isfied with nothing less than the abolition
of the entire internal revenue system. It
sij'lis for the 'good old ante-bellum days,
when there were no spies or informers in
thc land, nor any charges made against
'our people for violating the laws of the
United States.' Hardly a term of the
federal court is held in that Slate, it says,
'but that hundreds of our citizens are
dragged from their homes for alleged in
fractions of the revenue law.' And the
way it proposes to get rid of this evil is
'tear up the entire system by the roots.'
It doesn't seem to have occurred to the
irate editor that a shorter way to reach the
same end would be for the citizens of
North Carolina to stop breaking the law.
The distillers of the Western States man
ufacture many times 1 as much whisky as
the moonshiners of the South, but they
are not 'dragged from their homes.' They
pay their taxes, like honest and sensible
men, knowing that they will get the
amount back from the consumers. Would
the Raleigh editor join in a demand that
the laws against counterfeiting should be
'tora up by the roots,' in order that the
gangs in that State might indulge in free
coinage without fear of arrest ? And if
not, why not ?" The editor of the Herald
is not half as severe as he expected to be.
He draws on his imagination for his facts,
and his argument is therefore nothing but
an autumn breeze. There are no gangs of
counterfeiters in North Carolina, and the
Herald shows spleen as well as ignorance
in making the suggestion, ine otner
suggestion that the distillation of spirits
and the manufacture of tobacco stand upon
the same platform as counterfeiting is
worthy of the Herald. Ordinary mortals
recognize a wide difference, but the editor
of the Herald, in effect, suggests that there
is none. It would appear to be labor lost
to reason with an individual whose per
ceptions of right and wrong are so mixed
But while the undertaking is quite hope
less, we shall still attempt to enlighten our
Hoton critic on the subject of the inter
nal revenue system iu North Carolina
; Spies and informers have ever becu ob
jeets of loathing, and their trade itself is
conducive to moral obliquity. Urdinaruy
they seek only to put money in their
burse, by means fair or foul, but in this
State these infamous creatures have aLto
another purpose to subserve. They make
their trade serve a political purpose. Many
innocent men, unskilled in the affairs of
the world, are allured by these spies and
informers into the toils of the h and
then subjected to a pressure which leads
them to a compromise, involving the pay
ment of money and a change of politics.
That of itself is an evil, but we fear that
our brother of the Herald cannot p :rceive
it. "Hundreds of our citizens are dragged
from their homes for alleged infractions of
the revenue law. Were they guilty, this
too would be an evil, on sound public pol
icy commending the repeal of the system,
but usually they are not guilty, and after
being harassed and harried and their busi
ness interfered with and great expense in
curred, the cases go off one waj or another.
And so the evil is augmented.
But more than that, these revenue offi
cers are not untrequently themselves en
gaged in defrauding the government, and
their example is a corrupting influence
which works a great damage to society.
Tha editor of the Herald perhaps cannot
comprehend this, but that is his misfortune
rather than our fault. In addition it
tends to consolidation, giving ihe authori
ties at W ashington increased control over
the local politics of the States, and makiag
the elections hinge on the will of the de
partment instead of the wishes of tie
people. But to maks the-matter shoft,
any system whose practical workings are
so injurious to a people as the internal
revenue laws have proved to be in North
Carolina, ought not to be continued in
force longer than necessary in a country
whose government is supposed to be for
the benefit of the citizen.
1 The success of tho Readjuster party1 in
Virginia is no' longer io doubt, and that
party ia nereaHerto exert an important in
fluence upon the ""destiny of the Old Do
minion. "Virginia has her foibles, and her
magnificent citizens their faults, but taking
them all in all they are a great and worthy
and excellent people. J They inherit the
virtues of their patriot fathers, and are to-
I day as splendid a race of men and women
I u the sun shines upon. Thoir fati, then,
is a matter or great interest to u?, ana
should be to all who appreciate excellence
in human character. Wo cannot forecast
their future without aenti moots of pro
found regret and sympathy: What is to
be their future ? A small faction of white
men sustained by the baser sorts of the
whites and the negroes have it in charge.
Mahone and Cameron and Riddlebcrger
may not nofw contemplate surrendering
themsdves to the dictates of the lower
strata of their conglomerated - party, but
when the occasion arises they are sure to
do so. The philosophy of the situation
there is that negro sentiment is to control
the destiny of the people. Whatsoever
the negroes shall demand as the price of
further alliance is sure to be granted, and
what they will demand is to be measured
only by their demands in the past. Po
litical equality will certainly be followed
by social equality, and the barrier being
down, the prejudices of that race whose
f votes are courted will certainly be observed,
'lhe standard ot the Keadjustcr party will
be the standard of the negroes neither
more nor less. That, at least, is the lesson
which history teaches. Io such matters it
is the first step that costs, and with the
Readjusters, the first great step has al
ready been taken. Hereafter the inter
course between them and their negro allies
will be closer than ever, and at the next
election they will recite in clowing words
tho wrongs of the

Yesterday, the 4th inst.. Henry Lovett,
colored paid Xhe extreme penary of Ae
law at White ville, Columbus county, for
the murder ot Archilaus r. William, who
was also colored. .The crime ! was - com
mitted at Williamson's X, Roads, in Ta
tom's township, in the above named county,
on the 19th day of July, 180. . The
parties had always been upon the most
friendly terms, but upon the day ol the
murder there had been a slight jmisundeis
standing between them, both being . par
tially intoxicated, i The difficulty, how
ever, had been settled, and Lovett went to
Williams, and, putting his arm around
the neck of the latter, said,, ''There
is no trouble, Ard,' (a pame by
which Williams was sometimes known;
between' us"; and the two walked
off a few steps together in seeming friend
ship, when a blow was heard by the by
standers and Williams exclaimed, "I'm a
dead man, without cause," and at the same
time Lovett was seen to drawl his knife
from the neck of his victim. The assassin
made no effort to escape, and was imme
diately arrested by some of the people
present, while others hastened rto the as
sistanco of the wounded man.; They found
him with his throat and windpipe oat and
the jugular vein nearly severed,; Medical
skill was promptly in attendance, but the
man lived only about twenty-fpur hours
after receiving the fatal wound, f .
On the day of execution tbje doomed
man mounted the seoffold with a firm step
and perfectly calm demeanor. After prayer
and singing he bade good bye to those in
attendance and hoped that he should meet
them all in heaven. The sheriff then ad
justed the cap and rope and at precisely 12
o'clock and 10 minutes p. m., the drop
fell acd Henry Lovett was launched into
eternity. His neck was dislocated by the
fall and he died with hardly a struggle..

In pursuance, of the policy of using the
public lecture from time to time a-1 a part
of the; instruction afforded at Bingham
School, the Rev. W. S. Lacy addressed
the cadets on the 8lh inst. His subject
was Hooks and jlhe pleasures they afford.
It is a sure test of merit for a public
speaker to secure the attention of a student
body, who arc critics both by nature and
by practice, and I have never seen an au
dience more pleased, more entertained, or
more instructed! than the Bingham cadets
were by ' Mr. j Lacy. The lecture was
learned, thoughtful, cultured, graceful, in
structive ; and the stvle. though simple
and unaffected, was elegant and chaste,
and was often adorned with the choicest
flowers of rhetoric. It must be an indi
cation of; a new life's being infused into
the educational pulae of North Caroling
that such a lecture should be prodacedin
the State and that it should be received
with ' such strong approbation of the
thought, the matter and the manner.

(From the Wilmington Star.)
Information was received here late yes
terday 'afternoon that Mr. James Sprunt
and a younger sister had been seriously in
jured while out driving on the turnpike,
near tbo sound, by the horse running away
and throwing them out of the buggy.
Mr. W. H. Sprunt and Dr. Thos. F.
Wood at once started for Capt. Manning's
place on the sound, where the sufferer had
been removed. On arriving they found
Miss Sprunt not seriously hurt, but Mr.
Pprunt very badly injured, one leg be
ing so badly broken as to require, amputa
tion. Mr W, II. Sprunt came back! to
the city for Dr. Love, to assist Dr. Wood
in performing the operation, and they re
turned immediately. N? farther particu
lars could be ascertained as our informant
could not be detained, but we sincerely

prove so serious as the necessarily hurried ,
examination of the surgeon indicated. The
horse was caught no far from town with
the shafts dangling behind and brought to
town. He has been owned by Mr. Sprunt
for several years, during which time he has
run away quite frequently.
Mr. CLas B. Way man, Erie, Pa., writes:
"My phvsioians had given me up to die
They told me my lungs and liver were all
decayed and gone. I was very weak, pale
and emaciated. By chance I aaw Brown's
Iron Bitters advertised. I Immediately
realized that without iron in the blood, life
con Id not exist With trembling anxiety
I sent a servant, w no procured me a pottle.
I must have taken it with great faith, for
almost immediately I felt ita beneficial
effect Soon all dyspeptic symptoms dis
appeared, my lungs grew strong, pains in
the region of tne heart vanished, my urine
became free of sediment, and in a word I
have regained perfect health. Now I feel
able to thrash the doctor that attended me,
and really believe i ougnt to do it."
"We all knows," said a cockney school
committeeman to the new teacher he was

A public lecturer, in speaking of the
modern physical degeneracy of woman,"
exclaimed, " We must take good care of
our grandmothers, for we shall never get
