Frera tbo Newbernlan Jane 1. Many papers io North Carolina, and also gentlemen of marked abil ity, have pooh-poohed the idea that the prohibition movement in tbia State has any politics in it; they even now try to make light of the fact,! that the State Executive Committee of the Bepub lican party has committed tbat nrtv against the measnre. We f J o think it Is silly and even cowardly in the Democrat ia party to louper shut ita eyea to the. political aspect of the matter. Does the Demo ;rat to party propose to quietly fold its hanrla and hnsh its voice, and see itself stranded on ! the prohibition notation, aa it is. hoped, by the enemy, the party will be in Virgin- fa upon 'Alanoneismi xoe houu South, ao far as Korth Carolina Is concerned, ia In more peril of dis- - .a Ml J rupture througn tne vacillating uu neutral policy of the Democrats npon the prohibitory act, than it is for Manooemm in Virginia, mup pendentlsm In Georgia. Unless the party acta boldly and promptly, it requires no seer to see, that this o a est ion will be the Trojan horse rhatwill herald ' the downfall of Democracy. The Republican or gans in this Bute are already charg ing the prohibition act upon the Democracy. In that it was the act of a Democratic Legislature, how while we consider this charge of uo moment, vet the shut-mouth, non committal policy of the Democracy goes far to give it tne color oi au thority and truth. Does not everj man. who knows anything, know that this question is fraught with political Do we not all know, that were State or county officers to bt elected in Aogust next, tbat prohi bition would be the teat; question! Don't wo know that it will enter into the campaign of 1832 and ab sorb all other questions, unless its defeat before the people in Angu-t shall be ao overwhelming as to crush it forever? Don't we all know, that aooner or later the Dem ocratic party mast take position on this question, and that the longer it delays, the ! weaker will be its bold upon the affections and conu- dence of the people! 1 In 1SS2 the prohibitionists win be a political party to themselves, will tha Democratic party, as a party, ally -itaelt with the promo tion party, or will they oppose itt The question will have to be aos wered then If not now. vny postpone the inevitable! Why not have the manline now to speak out and declare ita intentioncT Tha existence of a third p. lin eal party in this State is a fore goaec one! o lion; the Democratic party., must b swallowed op in It or fight it; tbia and this alour La ihs alternative.

Oar usually quiet village traa thrown into a feverish atate of ex. citeme'nt last Tuesday mornlos the aooouDcement'that a aquad disguised men had forced open r- jail doriDg the previous eigne, ana taken-therefrom: the two colored nrisonera Estes Hairatop and Lindsay who, had been confined there since a short, time Deiore our last tidperior Court.-charged with com miltin g' rape on two white per Bon one a little girl and the other a grown woman.- Tbe particulars are about as lollowa : . w. Between 9 and 10 o'clock at night several mounted men were seen ridiog along the streets, but little attention waa paid to them. After nearly all the citizens had retired, the jailor was aroused by some one knocking at his room door, when he asked who it was and what they wanted.' He-was told to open the of door, first being assured that no harm waa Intended nim or nis tarn ily, and. for them not to be scared. He opened the door, when immedi ately the room waa filled with dis guised men, having handkerchiefs, etc., tied over their faces, with no thing visible but their eyes. They ordered him to give op the jail keys. This he refused to do, bat some of the crowd seemed to have an idea of where the keys were kept, and ' commenced to search and soon found them.when an effort was made i to unlock: the outside door. In the effort so do the key was broken, but there being an other door leading from tho jailer's room into the fail proper, it was opened, when the disguised men passing in went directly to the cell where the prisoners were confined. This was locked with a heavy pad lock, bat the men being prepared with the necessary tools, the lock was split by cutting the rivets, the door was thrown open, and the prisoners being chained together, the chain was cut, leaving a part of it to each of them. They wer then taken oat. J All of this, agreeable to the jailors statement, am not consume more man nve minutes from the time the men entered his room; ana so quietly was it aone m . m a tbat but one family in town beside the jailor's was aroused. How the nrisonera were taken off is not known:, but the company or men were divided in three squads, the a f I . t J .1 iarcei coin? iu me aireciiou oi William Nears, taking the prison ers, as is supposed. Another cross ed the river in the direction of Martin's lime kiln, while the third remained near the jail for some twenty minutes, and then, leaving, went in the same direction as the largest ; sou ad. But few of the men came into town on horseback, the larger part having dismounted and tied their hoisee, and left them with a guard a few hundred yards aoulb ot the place. It seems tbat the men left the jail with the pns oners Detween . jl ana - o ciock. They were seen to pass the road at a J aa 0 l several places soutu of uanoury. Nothing! more was beard of the prisoners until about 10 o'clock AX Tuesday, when a gentleman who lives near Meadows P. O. came m and reported two men hanging about lour miles south of town, near Mr. William Xeal's. The cor oner immediately summoned a jury of ino nest and proceeded to the Dlace designated, where he found as stated the two prisoners hanging . . . .a to different umos on tne same pine t,ee Jead. Aftef examining the the prisoners the jury and coroner returned to Danbury. Having summoned a number of witnesses, they proceeded to investigate the case, but; none of the witnesses having been able to identify any of the masked men, the jury reported tbat "they came to their death from banging by unknown parties." The meu were cot down late in the day, the friends of one of the men taking charge of bis body. The other was ordered to be buried at the expense of the county. Report says the cause of this act at this time is owing to the fact that the child outraged by one of the prisoners has just died, theat - l tending physician said, Irom the abuse : and the woman aonsea oy the other, and who had been sup posed dead,' had recently been fouud in an old outhouse, where she had j remained several days with no food except cherries and berries. J It is to be deplored that tocb rash acts should be commu ted, but ihe people seeing that om- . a cers of the law in this county nave been' untrue to their trust, and, through their negligence or lenien cy and the chicanery of lawyers, justice has bten cheated out oi her dnts, have shown by this act that I the guilty shall not go unpunished. It is raid that 25 men spent tne night the colored prisoners were bong searching for the white man who committed a similar offence on : . .1 the south of tbe mountain, auu h rwn found would have U BBVa w t w"-"- shared a' similar fate.

Dodge, special agent lor the collection of statistics of agriculture, showing the tobacco by of the proanctof the United States the cansos years 1880 and 1870, was issuea rrom tne uensus Ufflce to day. A The comparative statement presented in the report shows an apparent increase in the production of 80 per cent, daring the decade, the product in 1880 being placed at 4VJ,1U7,W7 pounds, and that 1870 at 262,735,341 pounds. , This itmronf tnnraaaa t.r, r; - -rr y., ,xu6,,ajl) exaggerates the real advance in to bacco cultivation, aa the proceed ing census crop was a small one and the fear of taxation may have prevented a full census of tobacco in 1870. . The crop reported in 1880 waa one of medium production, not in excess of . the present require ments of home consumption and exportation. Fifteen States pro duce now. aa in 1870, more than 99 per cent, of the tobacco of the Unit ed States, though it is reported in a . . a m " twenty-two otner states ana six territories. Kentucky occupies the nrst position, producing 30 per cent, of the total crop of the coun try. Virginia holds the second place. Pennsylvania has advanced from twelfth to third, Wisconsin, from fifteenth to tenth, and Forth Carolina, Connecticut and New York have-each gained one point in the rank of tobacco States. I The average yield per acre is shown to be 731 pounds, varying from 1,597 pounds in Massachusetts to 471 pounds in North CarolinaJ This variation in the rate of yield,1 the report states, is due in differ ing degree in the use or neglect of fertilizers, the habit of growth of different varieties, and the vicissi tudes of seasons. The following shows, in round numbers, the total product In 1880: Kentucky, 171,- 000,000, pounds: Virgiuia, 80.000,- 000 pounds; Pennsylvania, 37,000, 000 pounds; Ohio, 35,000,000 lbs; Tennessee, 29,000,000 lbs: North Carolina, 27,000,000 pound; Mary land, 26,000,000 pounds; Connecti cut, 14,000,000 pounds; Missouri, 12,000,000 pounds; Wisconsin, 11,- 000,00 pounds: Indiana, 9.000,000 pounds; New York, 6,500,000 lbs; Massachusetts, 5,000,000 pound"; Illinois, 4.000,000 pound; West!

In the afternoon as I was returning to my hotel on the street car I noticed on the sidewalk a gen tleman whom I took to be Gover nor Vance, and recollecting that I bad heard that he was in the city, I gave him a polite bow in token of recognition. He promptly respond ed and his face bore the most un mistakable signs of perfect recog nition. His response was so cor dial that I again sainted him, and be returned it vigorously, and turn ing around watched the car as it sped on. After 1 had passed him about 100 yards and seeing tbat be was still standing ana watching after me, . I felt it my duty to go back and speak to him. So I hasti ly rang the bell and sprung from the car, and as soon as I gained the sidewalk he came forward to meet me, when I found it was not Vance at all. : We made our mutual ex planations: while I bad taken him for Governor Vance he had taken me for Postmaster-General James. "Why," said he in a jocular mood, I am not as old a man as Vance.'' "Sof I replied, in the same vein of humor, "nor are you as nne loos ing ; but you favor him sufficiently to be pulled in pieces by the wen, women and children should you ever visit North Carolina.'
