The acquittal of Laura Fair by a

- crribiy significant for the times and
adorns with hideous malevolence one
of the darkest tales in all the annals
of crime. That a jury of men,' some
of whom are supposed to be heads of
families, should so solemnly give their
sanction to lawless inroads upon the
peace j of the domestic circle by a
base beauty and should pronounce
her slaying her victim in the pres
ence of his wife too murder, -shows
the weakness of. human nature arid
the degeneracy, of our system of
judicial trials. ( It virtually, offers a
premium for blood -crowned prostitu
tion. It saps the social' system, eon
founds and confuses justice .with li-
cense, blunts tue-public conscience
and degrades our civilization. Against
such monstrous perversions of justice

WILMINGTONv
TRIBUTE TO A RETIRING OFFI
CER
Handsome and Tain able Testimon
ials to Maj. jr, C. Winder, Late Sa
perlntendent of the Wilmington,
CoIamMa and Angnsta Railroad
The Presentation Addresses and Res
ponse Refresnments, Ac,
Yesterday, at 12 M., a large number of
the merchants of the city and others, to
gether with officers and employees of the
Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta Rail
road, assembled at the Commercial Ex
change for the purpose of presenting to
Maj. J. C. Winder, on his retiring from the
position of superintendent of that road,
some fitting testimonials of their high ap
preciation of the able and faithful manner
in which he has discharged his arduous
and difficult duties. The presents consisted
of an elegant silver water service, a hand
some clock and mantel ornaments from the
merchants of Wilmington and a magnifi
cent gold watch and chain from the em
ployees of the Railroad., Dr. A. J.-DeRos-set
made the presentation in behalf of the
merchants in the following words:
Major Winder. A numher of the mer
chants of Wilmington (many of whom are
here present) are desirous of offering you
this silver water service and this set of
mantel ornaments, in testimony of their ap
preciation of your able, gentlemanly and
satisfactory administration of the office of
Superintendent of the Wilmington, Colum
bia and Augusta Railroad, from which (to
their great regret)you have recently retired.
To me, as one of the oldest among them,
has been assigned the agreeable duty of pre
senting the gifts in their behalf, and of ask
ing your acceptance of them.
All of us have had more or less frequent
and important business transactions with
you as an officer of the Company, and have
experienced the courtesy and kindness
which have uniformly characterized your
management 01 its affairs, witnout ior one
moment witnessing the slightest deviation
from the line of your duty as guardian of
the interests confided to your care. Next
to the inward satisfaction which every one
must feel who is conscious of having faith
fully discharged his duties, the knowledge
that his course has been approved by those
with whom he has been brought in contact,
and who have closely observed his actions,
must be most grateful to the heart and feel
ings.
It is this consideration, sir, which gives a
value to the testimonial, of which we now
ask your acceptance, far beyond its intrin
sic worth, and which, I feel sure, will in
duce you to receive it in the spirit of kind
ness which has prompted the offer.
Permit me to add tor myself, that, apart
from relations to you as a personal friend,
my judgment fully approves of this public
expression of confidence and good-will to
wards you as an officer and a -gentleman;
and I doubt not that this whole community
unites with me in the wish that your separa
tion from us will not be final, but that you
may soon be called to fill some position which
will insure your continued and permanent
residence in our growing city.
But wherever your future lot may be
cast, be assured that you 'will carry with
you our best wishes for your earthly pros
perity and happiness, and when at length
your work of life shall be ended, may you
be received into the joys of the eternal
world, with the approving words of our
Great Ruler and Judge "Well done thou
good and faithful servant"
Sir. II. W. Shure, in behalf of the Rail
road employees, in presenting the watch,
said:
Maj. John C. Winder : I have the pleas
ure of addressing a few remarks to you in
behalf of the employees of the Wilmington,
Columbia and Augusta Railroad, of which
vou were lately Superintendent
It is unfortunate that,: in the history of
our lives, there are passages which separate
friends from one another and which drift
us in opposite directions upon the sea of
life; yet it is consoling to know that Dame
Justice crowns, with honor and success,
those who are worthy of her bright rewards.
We feel that it would be unkind in us to
part with you without some token of our
gratitude and high appreciation of your
kind, courteous and successful admimstra
tion.
A little over two years ago, when the
gate to Northern and Southern intercourse,
by rail, was closed and the petty local influ
ences of private roads and individuals
barred ' the progress of railroad improve
ments and qtRck transit, it was your good
fortune to connect yourself with a road that
was destined to be the first to break the
barrier and to open the gate to fair compe
tition. The road, then a wreck, and desti
tute of material, with a state of demoraliza
tion existing among its employees, looked a
weak opponent to its well equipped compe
titors ; but, thanks to your energy and per
severance and your watchful, practical eye,
it soon rose from its dilapidated condition
and is now conducting its heavy business
with safety and dispatch. .-.
- Of the new'linki from Columbia to Sum
ter, which was built by you, I am unable to
do justice to . its merits, .or to your, skill.
Built, as it was, through every obstacle and
opposition, it stands to-day the best road of
the South. Stretching out its iron arms
and 1 thrusting , them deep into its rivals'
trade and prosperity, it will forever stand a
monument of your engineering skill
Many of us have linked our fortunes with
the railroads of our land and observe with
watchful eye their progress and improve
ment Deeper into the wild West; deeper
into the frozen North; deeper into the sun
ny South, the locomotive whistle thrills a
new life and the echo of wheels sounds on
over. bill and -dale, and' soon . the webb of
sails will cover our land.
- In parting with you, we beg you to accept
this slight token of our regard and friend
ship. ' This watch we give you that you may
always keep time and pace with the railroad
improvements of our land; - and this chain,
that its links may always be emblematical of
our linked fortunes and our unbroken
friendship. Take them; and may the day
soon be here when every revolution of its
second-hand will - carry the traveller a mile
f urther'on his journey.
Major, Wder then responfled in the fol
lowing words:
Dr. DeBotset and Gentlemen; and Mr. Shure
and Gentlemen of the ,W., C dkA. Rail
road:

this day. I can imagine no greater pleasure,

to my administration in terms more flatter
ing than I deserve. - I did no more than was
my duty ; this I tried to. do, and it was always
my effort to treat the' merchants with that
consideration due them as gentlemen and as
patrons of the road. Thiswas their rizht and
sir, I thank you with all my heart for the as-
. m . . .
surances which you nave given me 01 me ap-
iroval of the merchants, and am none the
ess gratified at the personal regard you
have been pleased to express, which is more
valued, coming, as It does, from one whom
I have known from my earliest childhood.
' To you, my associates, I owe much, for
whatever credit is due me I am in a great
measure indebted to you. It was my good
iortune to be associated with you for more
than two years. During that time we la
bored hard and earnestly lor the best inter
est of the company -in whose employ we
were. When we began together you will
remember the road, was very much run
down and, we may say, ended in the
swamps of the Congaree.. My distinguished
predecessor had done all that man could do
with the means at hand, but they were lim
ited. But, thanks to the wealth of the pres
ent owners, you have seen our own city
connected with the beautiful city of Colum
bia, new engines .added to assist your ex
hausted machinery, hundreds of new cars
added to the list, new warehouses construct
ed,' and, in short, hundreds of thousands of
dollars spent in improvements, and ' I con
gratulate you and my successor that the
work is done and the unpleasant and un
popular duty of spending money is at an
end, at least in a great degree. During all
this time it gives me pleasure to say that
you all did your duty faithfully, and I
commend you to the favorable considera
tion of your Company, and I trust and be
lieve they will appreciate you.
Gentlemen, I accept with pleasure the
beautiful testimonials of your friendship
and esteem, and, believe me, I shall ever
keep them in kind remembrance of the mer
chants of Wilmington and of my associates
of the Wilmington, Columbia and Augusta
Railroad. r .
The party now adjourned to an adjoining
room, where an hour or two was spent very
pleasantly, several brief, but very interest
ing complimentary speeches being made,
after which all departed well pleased with

Clubs Out of. Order.
Clubs seem to be "trumps" with some of
the policemen here lately. It was only a
few weeks since that our Mayor, in his
usual address upon the reorganization of
the police force, informed them that they
"must maintain command of temper, ob
serve decorum, and exercise patience under
permmal provocation." Yet, if we are cor
rectly informed by persons who witnessed
the transaction, this advice of the chief ex
exutive officer of the city was utterly ig
nored in an unfortunate affair that occurred
on our streets yesterday, the club being used
unmercifully where there was no actual
necessity for it. We did not witness the
affair, and speak only from hearsay,- but we
think it due to the 'community ;that a full
and impartial investigation into the matter
should be had by the authorities. :

the room occupied by Mr. John S. James,

Dock streets. Fortunately he was discov
ered before he had effected his purpose of

from a well loaded pistol hastened' his
movements as he retired from the scene of
his unprofitable experiment

The Raleigh News is down '
on bean shooting. It says: Saturday last a
small negro boy was shot in the eye by a
white boy all in play, but it resulted in
the loss of the boy s eye. The boys have

lars worth of window lights of the Baptist
church; the gas lights of the city have been
almost riddled with them, and the practice
is fast becoming an intolerable nuisance.
A "Washington, N. C, corres
pondent of the Tribune, thus "writes of a
family of office-holders that of Beaufort
county: I have found a nest of genuine
Nepo-Republicans down here in this little
out-of-the-way town, in Eastern North Car
olina a family which, having gobbled up
about all of the Federal offices in this neigh
borhood; has made a "dead set" for the
State and county honors. At the head of
this illustrious house is Hiram E. Stilley,
United States Assessor of Internal Revenue,
member of the Lower House of the North
Carolino Legislature in 1868-70, and just
elected to the State Senate from this district
As a member of the last Republican Legis
lature, Stilley was one of the most pliant
tools in the hands of Littlefield, and, of
course, his vote was never wanting when a
robbery of unusual proportions was to be
put through. United States Marshal Car
row has elected him to serve another two
years, in consideration ef his eminent servi
ces during his former term. Second on the
list is Stephen W. Stilley. clerk to the Inter
nal Revenue Assessor, and an aspirant for
promotion if Grant is re-elected, Sydney
F. Stilley, is Postmaster at this place, and
one of Carrow's lieutenants in running the
political machine. Henry D. Stilley is Dep
uty Postmaster. William Stilley, jr., was,
until recently, mail-carrier from Washing
ton to Goose Creek, in this county. He is
now out of employment, but will have to be
provided for before the November election.
James E. Merriam, brother-in-law of all the
Stilleys, is Assistant Assessor of Internal
Revenue, and recently elected one of the
Board of County Commissioners. The town
of Washington contains, I should think,'
about 1,000 inhabitants, and the people
think they have the disease of nepotism here
pretty badly. . f . ;
