' SHOULD BURGLARY BE , GRADED We have before briefly mentioned the fact of the arrest," conviction and sentence to death in Charlotte of two negro burglars who broke into Capt. S. G. Strickland's .house and stole $12 worth of property The time for the execution of the negroes was set for today (Wednes day). Last week a petition was cir culated in Charlotte asking the Gov ernor to commute the punishment oi tnese men to imprisonment ior life at hard labor. In this particu lar instance it was argued to the Governor that the two men do not appear to belong to that desperately murderous class who take life for light cause ; that they showed no disposition to do bodily harm to any person and made no effort to go into that part of the house where per sons were sleeping ; that they carri ed nq weapons ,or burglars' tools ; that they entered no sleeping room but only into a store room and stole only a slight amount, $12 worth. The case is made interesting, how ever, by a letter to the editor of the Observer from Rev. Neander M. Woods, the Presbyterian minister, ' who draws a conclusion from this case that burglary should be a grad ed crime and that in a case of this kind the extreme penalty of the law should not be imposed. Certainly a bloody code is worse than one that is too lax. The punishment should . always be measured by tne enormity of the crime. Capt. Moore, in his Idaho letter published in this, issue, shows that in some of the Western territories human life is regarded at -1 . 4- i I, V. .nlnn r.t horse. . That is not justice. We cannot; with the lights before us, believe that the death penalty should be removed from aggravated cases of burglary. In no case should" it be removed from murder, rape and - ar son. " We reprint a couple of paragraphs of Rev. Mr. Wood's letter : "What the petitioners ask of the Governor is merely that the sentence be changed from hanging to impris onment for life. We are not moved by that weakand hurtful sentiment alism which seeks to set free offend ers against society merely because suffering is dreadful. We believe that burglary is a great crime, aud should be adequately punished, but we also believe that it is possible to inflict a severer penalty than is either needful or wise, and in view of cer tain extenuating circumstances re f lating to the cases of these two men, 1 we are sure that the death penalty is too severe. This statute which makes burglary a capital offense is in the criminal code of our State, and I am not now going to argue whether it should be there or not, but there are some things to be said about it which may help us to clear views of the matter in hand. In the first place, it is fair to characterize this statute as one of the most severe and extraordinary that any modern civilized nation has ever enacted in a time of profound peace. Secondly, such a statute is unknown to at least three-fourths of the States of this union. Our State enjoys, in this regard, a position that we may justly call singular. Thirdly, I am informed that in several of our ! States, which once had this law, it has had to be repealed as shocking to the feelings of the best men. These things being true, I hold that if there i is an offence as to which extenuating circumstances should have"1 great weight, it is the one of burglary in North Carolina. The idea that any ami everjr kl uuigwij, jju matter how trivial, must bring the offender to the gallows is one which can never long command the appro val of men who have a heart to love mercy as well as justice. Such an idea may do much to terrify thieves and exalt the crime of burglary, but it will also go far to cheapen the value of human life in the public estimation. Why, even in dealing with those who slay their fellowmen we show more consideration than this. We cannot hang the man who kills his neighbor unless we can prove the slayer to have had all the aggravating elements of intention, deliberation and malice in his heart; if he was acting under sudden im pulse, or had some provocation, or aimed only at wounding the man he slew, no impartial court would inflict the utmost penalty of death the guilty gets only imprisonment; and generally he is acquitted. Is bur glary, which involves only the pos sibility of taking life, to be counted a more heinous crime than actual - killing? Surely not." The Charlotte water-works have been purchased by a Northern com pany for $90,000. W. W. Fleming, Esq,., of Charlotte, is President. 0 UR POSITION SUSTAINED. It cannot possibly be charged against the New York World that it is mugwumpian in its sympathies. Indeed, it has so far stood so straight and erect in the attitude of a Bour bon as to lean backward. It has even been called a ""bull in a china shop" because of its ' plainness of speech, and has almost won for itself the name of being an anti-Administration paper. The opponents of civil service reform caiinot, there fore, call anything the World says in the matter of civil service an apology for the mugwumps. Last week The Topic declared wb;it it considered to be the greatest and most freed ert result to bo derived from a reform of the civil service. Simultaneously, in an issue bearing even date with The Topic, the World embodies the sume idea in an editorial containing almost the iden tical words which The Topic used. Read what it says : "It is an impertinence to insinu ate that the Democratic jJiirty de sires to see the law partially and inefficiently administered. The law relates to other reforms besides ap pointments. It seeks to put a stop to electioneering blackmail among the departments and the use of the public offices for partisan purposes instead of in the public interests. The law was never observed, under the Republican Administration. Down to Mr. Cleveland's election assessments were made on Federal office-holders just as unscrupulously as before the statute was in force. It has been obeyed and enforced in good faith by Democrats alone. If Civil Service Reform is event ually made practical and just and becomes firmly , established, -it will be through the Democracy. If Re publicanism had continued in power Civil Service Reform would have been a fraud and a failure." STATE TOPICS. There are 665 lawyers in North Carolina. Last week the Collector seized and confiscated 1,000 gallons of contra band whiskey in Wilkes. There are 1,173 State convicts, 320 being in the penitentiary and 853 at work on the railroads. Senator Stanford, of California, has given $5,000 to Zion-Wesley, colored, college at Salisbury.' , . ,i The amount of each Confederate pension will be from $15 to $16, and they will be ready for payment on the 5th of December.

They wish the photograph .of every teacher in the State. On the first of January the Ashe ville and Spartanburg R. R. will be open to the public and" through sleepers will be run from Louisville to Charleston, via Knoxville. mere is trouoie in isurke over the destruction by Kirk's raiders during the war of some of the deed records. The question is will deeds registered in the missing books have to be re-registered ? At Iredell court, last week, Alli son Speaks was tried and convicted for the murder, on election day last year, of Noah Mason. He threw a ock into a crowd, intending to hit Tom Redman, but he missed his man, hitting and killing Mason. ; The stock law election in '! Burke ill be held on the first Tuesday in December.

The invitation has been ac cepted, and the Governors will meet the last week in this month or first week in December. Col. Trenholm, the new South Carolina member of the Civil Service Commission, says that '-any expec ' tations that the reorganized commis sion would be governed by partisan considerations are doomed to titter disappointment." In all bis consul tations with the President he has been impressed with the letter's "sincere and earnest purpose to en force the law" and the commission will do all in its power to hold up the, hands of the President. Tbft Blaineites in the Republican party take the defeat of Davenport to mean that the mugwump wing of the party are downed for good and they are getting ready to tighten their grip on the party "and to coach Blaine for the candidacy in 1888. On Monday of last week, in Prin cess Anne county, Va., a little 10-year-old girl named Alice Powell was waylaid- on her way to school, out raged and murdered. A negro nam ed Noah Cherry, who had been dis charged from em ploytnent by, her father, was suspected, arrested, and. upon his confession of the crime, promptly lynched. A resolution adopted at a meeting of citizens of Galveston, Texas, that "The loss inflicted on our city by the late conflagration is much great er than at first anticipated, the same being fully $2, 500, 000, equal to more than one-eighth of the taxable value of the city, i. whereforo we most thankfully accept the proffered aid to generously offered." Louis David Riel, the half-breed leader, was hanged at Regina, N. W. T., Nov. 17. j Considerable feeling was excited araong French-Canadians by the execution.

The Bakersville Division Sous of Temperance has done a great deal of good in Mitchell for the last year. The lodge is making preparations for a social entertainment. Mrs. Artie Wilcox and a daughter of Canada Barnett were drowned Oct. 27, in South Toe river.

He built a "tram" road from his saw mill in N. C. across t he Roan mountain into Tenn. A$ well 'as I remember the road was" about six miles long.

To the Editor of T7ie Lenoir Topic: For the last two or three weeks we have had a reut deal of rain, consequently farmers are late sowing wheat. The Yadkin river is "bponi ing," no damage, however, is done except bridges washed away, fords mirv, &c. Miss Sallie Councill, of Boone, is with her aunt, Mrs. G. N. Folk, at Riverside, and will remain there during the winter in order to attend the school at that place conducted by Prof. A. IL Eller.

Mr. Lawrence Greer was so un fortunate as to happen to a serious and almost fatal accident, not many days since. While being upon the 2nd story in his father's barn, the plank upon which he was standing, gave away, and he fell a distance of about twenty feet and for a j while, was perfectly senseless. Dr. Carter was called in and sa3Ts he does not think any fatal injury occured. We are glad to learn he is improving. pied on Saturday night; 14th inst , Joshua Isbell, an honored and respected colored man of this vicin ity. 'Uncle Josh" was about 80 years of age, had lived a pioas and christian life, was an hones- and up right darkey, a faithful servant and respected by all who knew him.

It is reported that the propriety of reviving the grade of general of the army on the active list has been dis cussed among members of Congress of both parties. B.it three military chieftains of the Unittd States, Washington. Grant and Sherman, have borne this title. Sherman 18 now on the retired list with the rank of general, and the additional posi tion of general on the retired list, which was passed for the benefit of . Grant, in the closing minutes of the last session of Congress, died with him. The object of the revival of the grade of general on the active list is said by those wlfo advocate it to be for the purpose of promoting Sheridan and appointing Hancock ' lieutenant-general in his place. Hancock1, under the law, will be re tired in a little more than two years, and it is claimed that ;in view of his services and the fact; of his having been a candidate for: President ,of the United States, this would be a graceful and appropriate tribute to pay him. The proposition, if brought forward, will of course find advocates, but it would also certain ly encounter st-oug and riot improb ably successful opposition. Our 8:ay Letter. Clay, Nov. 16.
