lie -(fretting Jto0t WILMINGTON, K. C. Friday, August 22d, 1873. One of our greatest delights in the Masonic Institution is the entire absence of sectarianism. No matter what a Mason's political or religious opinions may be, nor how sensitive he may feel in relation to them, he will never hear anything within thfe body of the Lodge to wound his feelings. The great broad mantle of Charity is spread over all, and all topics calculated to wound the feeling of even the youngest Mason in I the North East corner are carefully ex-1 eluded. I In the great charitable work in which I it is now engaged the Orphan Asylum I which so nobly and justly appeals to every generous man in the State, no question of partizanship or religion has 1 arisen within Masonic borders, but all, I nf whatever relierious belief, whether I j ' Jew or Gentile, have bid the work God 1 1 speed. On this one subject the press of the State shows entire unanimity, and very properly so, and the work has gone I (in. dav bv dav. and month by month, , j - - r - furnishing homes for the houseless, I Clothing the naked, and feeding the humrrv. It was left for an anonymous I writer to the Piedmont Press to find the o y first fault, and the castigation he re ceives at the hands of the Press and other papers in the State is most really deserved. It is indeed surprising that any man, with even a slight knowledge nf the facts in the case, could nave even l thought of such an "absurd criticism, much less have written it. The article in' the Press is so pertinent, that we publish it entire We will state for the benefit of our readers that there are two Baptists, one Methodist, and one Epis- I ronalian amoner its managers, and that sectarian relicion is not taught. Mason- I X O i-J ' l ty requires a belief in Gkr, but asks no other religious question of its candidates and desires to teach no other. We be lieve that Mr. Mills is not an ordained minister, though a believer in the Bap tist faith. The Press says : A correspondent who does not give his name probably ashamed to give it has favored us with the subjoined communication : "Dear Press : I notice a good deal has been said through the Press, both edi- torially and through correspondents, about the. Orphan Asylum located at uxiora, jn. j. i am noi. opposed 10 charitable institutions, but I am opposed W such uisinuuuus ueiug uiaue menui- serv of any particular church. And it seems to me this important met nas been overlooked in what has been said about the Orphan Asylum at Oxford. The religious training of the children is left exclusively to and under the sole management of the Episcopalians. " And thus every waif that finds its way to this Asylum will be launched into the world a full-fledged Episcopa lian." Our correspondent, who seems to pqssess some intelligence, an amazing amount of ignorance, and who is cer- tainly an illiberal, narrow-minded, and short-sighted sectarian, continues in mis stram, anoraing us an opponunuy for timely comment. The institution, we understand, is entirely free from sectarian or denomi- national influence. The Superintend ent, Mr. Mills, is a minister of the Bap tist Church, and until recently Editor of the Biblical Recorder, the organ of the Baptist Church in .North Carolina. The attaches who fill the various depart ments have been selected especially and solely with reference to their fitness and capability, representing all or nearly all- of the churches in the State. Even if it be true, as our correspondent states, that the cligious " training of -the chil drcn " is confided to the Episcopalians, we can see no sense in the objection. The world is wide and the members of all religious denominations, if they should devote all their spare time and energy to the work, cannot do too much for the relief of the unfortunate and miserable. Let the Episcopalians, Pres byterians, Baptists, Methodists, Luther ans, Catholics and Jews, and conscien' tious men and women of every creed, do their utmost to clothe the naked, feed the humrrv. educate the ignorant. give work to tne unemployed, teach morality to the yicious and religion to the unbelievers, and there will still re main a shocking residue of misery, ig norance, vice and wickedness. 'Why should any class of religious people object to the benevolent labors of any other class? Is it not better, a thousand times better, in the view even of the most rigorous sectarian, that a number of unfortunate street children. fatherless, motherless, friendless, with out shelter and almost without God in the world, should be taken in, cared for and instructed, whether by Episcopali ans or Presbyterians, than that they should go wild "and grow up to vice and crime i t While a pretty Omaha ting married, one of he jrirl was get- jilted lovers THE MURDER INVESTIGATION SIXTH DAI'S PROCEEDINGS, The Case Closed.

Willie had just come when he said it.-' He talked it out loud so we all could hear. It was about three weeks before I went up the road, and I have been up the road about three weeks Lang Sellars talked with me coniing down the road. He said if I didn't tell him the straight truth about it, he would throw me in the river and drown me. He asked me if I didn't cut the arm off, and that all the boys said I was there, and that if I didn't say I did, he would drown me in the river. He ask ed me where that $20 was i I took from Willie's pocket. He said he knowed I had it, or I couldn't ride: on the cars. He frightened me, and I have told all I told him. He said that they had all sworn that I cut off Willie's arm and broke it with a stick, and that if I didn't tell, he would throw me in the river and drown me. He asked me if I knew anything about Willie Carter, and I told him that Dave had told me that Mrs. Carter had offered $10 to drown him. This was before he had threat ened me. Imcinda Cherry sworn I saw Char lotte Hooper at Mr. Dawson's corner at about 4 o'clock on that Monday with Billy Merrick. It was a little after 1 o'clock. ! CBOS3 EXAMINED. We passed on that corner.

I diun t nctica any one before I met The Odd Fellows paraded that day and most of the people were up to the Church. I am certain that this was the time. Eliza Jones sworn I cook at Mr. Mebane's. I was there on that Mon- p day, about 4 o'clock Charlotte came to the house and the boy Was with her. I asked him what his name was and he said William Henry and I said oh yes, I remember you.

Jane Merrick, sworn I knew Wil- ie Carter; he was out a great deal in the street in front of my house. They used to ficrht and nuarrel often. Dave was always knocking the little fellows, and used to knock Willie. Mr Carter was very kind to his child, and I never knew of Mrs. Carter's whipping him but once and you know children will get reckless. Willie told me she whip ped him for spitting in her face, and that's the only time I ever knew of her whipping him. I don't know Elijah. Dave was the largest boy in the crowd quarrelling or fighting. cross-examined. I lived next door to Carter's. Never saw any bruises on Willie,, he always looked well cared for. BX THE COURT. Jimmie Anderson re-called I recol lect the day the Odd Fellows had their procession. I was at 'Geo. Statchers. I recollects th iel time Willie Carter was drownecL TThe heTOTFeUowsttrnear out after Willie' was murdered. It was after he was killed. David Martin re-called I saw the Odd Fellows that day. I was at the City Hall when they passed. Willie bad just been murdei-ed. CROSS-EXAMINED. I stated that I went to my mothers and to Mrs. Carter's, and I did go down to the City Hall. I sold that black handled knife to Mr. Scott, and Elijah had the broken handled one. Neither of these did the cutting. It was a cork-screw knife that Jimmie had which they used to do the cutting. I have never seen that knife since. Jimmie sharpened the knife on the iron himself. Mr. Scott never sent me to any woman after that knife. I bought the knife black handled knife of Elijah, and sold it to Mr? Scotc. I did'nt go after that knife on Monday morning. THE COURT THEN SAID : From the admissions of David Martin and Jimmie Anderson themselves, and from the evidence adduced, the Court is inclined to believe that Elizabeth Car ter, William H. Merrick and Elijah Martin are implicated in this murder, and the Court doth therefore bind oyer the defendants, Elizabeth Carter, Elijah Martin, David Martin, Jimmie Ander son and William ;II. Merrick, to the uext term of the Superior Court.
