We?sav to this Board of Commis sioners," the finger of scorn and in dignation is pointed at von by cvpry honest man in Granville county who has -heard ot this ontrsere. 'The black dome - which rises" above the so at of justice stands as a monn ment of the black disgrace of which v.u havo been auiltv. There is one thing Qnly left by which some" f light atonement mav be made for Von r olTcnce. You hnve Belknap's high example for yonr crime.
