By W1LLIAIQT. H. BEBNABD. WILMINGTON, N. C: Saturday Evening, April IV, 1880. EVENING EDITION. BIR1B AND IiTNCttllfG. It strikes us that it is high time the press was becoming in earnest in de nouncing the reign of lynch law. Every few days is some section some criminal is harried into eternity upon the sentence of an irresponsible and excited mob, and that too in open de fiance of all law and all authority. There are very few cases that would justify any people taking the law into their hands, and ridding the world of men of cruel and beastly natures who perpetrated crimes that called oat for immediate vengeance. Daring the eentary probably not a half do zen cases of mob vengeance have oc curred that did not simply anticipate the action of the law. In other words, probably not six of the victims of lynching would have escaped the punishment dae for crime if the mob had awaited regular trial and the de cision of the courts. In this State last year there was one case of lynching. Bat no one believes that the scoundrel would not have been hanged if he had been tried in dae form. In South Caro lina there was a very aggravated case of crime, and an excited multitude took swift vengeance upon the crimi nal. Bat a few weeks or months de lay would have seen the laws of the State amply vindicated and the stigma of violence and lawlessness would have been avoided. In Virginia, within a few weeks, there have been two cases of lynching. No one pre tends to affirm that these acts of law lessness and violence were necessary because-the courts would not punish. They appear to have been the result of extreme excitement and passion engendered of shocking and name-, less crimes attempted by brutal and lu&nui negroes. y e grant mat 11 mere is any offence against humanity which demands a quick shrift and a speedy exit, it is the crime of rape. Bat a trial should always be had according to the forms and requirements of law. If the hideous crimes referred to should continue to increase and they have been fearfully numerous in the South since the war then there should be some law enacted by which the villains shall be tried at once, without a week's delay. It is betterthat such a law should be enacted than that communities should become a law - unto themselves. By resorting to moblawyou set a very dangerous . preceueub, auu you may possibly bang an innocent man. It is believed " that some innocent persons have been ' lynched. The only possible - for tSe summary hanging of a scoun drel, if seems to us, without trial, would be when be was caught in the " very act ox perpetraung ma aiaoou- There does seem to be a necessity for a law to bring such criminals to n immeaiate inai.' uusa mis is. - . . . i TT I t done and negroes should continue to, startle society with their attempts to violate the persons ot whites we may expect mob law to continue in force. SHORT AND LONQ SPEECHES. Lord Beaconsfield is a very witty man. He carries a stinging tongue in that old head of hisTs .HisNaaota hat JSIr. G4adstene?iixpensare - iMmer ous. One of his points of "ridicule is a supposed verbosity xof JMrGiadvl, stone that he required 4 great many words to convey a given idea. Mr. Gladstone's set orations may be amenable to this . charge, just as Edmund Burke, one of the greatest of orators and the most philosophical and profound of all statesmen, may be criticised for his abundant, flow ing, animated, richly decked periods. But no man can be more pointed and sharp, and even terse, on occasion. His recent speeches in Scotland show how condensed, vigorous and. ani mated he can. be. The English papers are just beginning to publish fall reports of his speeches in Midlo thian, and they are remarkably short, and bold and, unmistakably pointed. A stump-speaker in North Carolina would not get through his patriotic flourishes without touching the topics to be presented in the time occupied by Gladstone. A column of the Star would almost contain one of his hus tings' efforts. And yet he covers a great deal of ground and in the fewest words. Referring to- the policy of the Lib erals in dealing with the colonies, he said : "As to the colonies,' 'Liberal administra tions set free their trade with all the world, gave them popular and responsible govern ment, undertook to defend Canada with the whole strength of the empire, and organized the great scheme for uniting the several settlements of British North America into one dominion." Here is hope for Ireland. That country will be benefited by the change of ministry. Here is the way he jobbed Beaconsfield under the ribs for his foreign achievements. He said the Tories "have aggrandized Russia, lured Turkey into her dis memberment, it not her rain, replaced the Christian population of Mace donia under a debasing yoke, and loaded India with the cost and danger of a prolonged and unjustifiable war, while they have at the same time augmented her taxation and cur tailed her liberties." Mr. Gladstone is considered amongst the ablest writers in Eng land to be the greatest financial Minister that country ever had. If you would see the general estimate fairly stated, read McCarthy's charm ing "History of Our Own Times." Here are the few and pregnant words he used in describing the profligacy of the Beaconsfield regime: "At home the ministers have neglected legislation; aggravated the public distress by continued shocks to confidence, which is the life of enterprise; augmented the public expenditure and taxation for pur poses not merely unnecessary, but mis chievous, and plunged the finances, which were handed over to them in a state of singular prosperity, into a state of deficits unexampled in modern times." Judging from the length of the re ported speeches Mr. Gladstone rarely spoke more than twenty minutes, and doubtless sometimes not more than ten minutes. It is interesting to contrast the speeches of the great leader of the victorious party with the labored two or three hqj&rs ha- rangues of speakerS. our American ;f)olitica A LESSON. A few weeks ago we were interest ed in a dialogue reported in the North Carolina Presbyterian. The partici pants were a Virginian and a North Carolinian, and the scene was at the Theological Seminary of Hampden Sidney, in Virginia. The North Car olinian had been invited to three Southern States other than his own. He preferred to remain with his own people if he were permitted to do so, His Virginian friend asked him why he did not accept the tempting offer from Kentucky, inquiring if he ex pected a "better call from North Car olina?" The reply was: a m "Better! By no means. Bat, though all 60uls are equally precious, yet I prefer being the instrument, in God's hand, of the conversion of one North Carolina sinner than of one from any other State." "Does your State need no young men to build up her waste places?" "Yes; I hear of several applications be ing made by outsiders ia behalf of other men in our class." There is a good deal ot North Car olina human nature in all this. A prophet is not without honor save in his own country. It was so in the days of Jesus of Nazareth ; it is so in this last quarter of the nineteenth century in North Carolina. The young minister from our Sfate said to the sympathizing Virginian : "North Carolina is continually com plaining that her sons, especially her edu cated sons, desert her to give their influence elsewhere, just when that influence can be gin to exercise itself. I used to join in condemning this ufllial spirit; but now I caB see the other side. The Old North State does not hold out to her would-be loyal sons ..the hand of sympathy and encouragement. Take for instance, the ; few of us here,. almost ready to .begin the battle of life." ,rJon't say ; that we sons of Carolina are the Droner meo for service itl herbcdaries but Iteuat as disloyal or ashamed of our native gut e, after waitlne forborne voice of interest, to come tons some cry-6t nesd some word j even or. rememurance wane an me time pressing claims are to be held in check, from other sections, where most promising fields of labor are Inviting us by name." We fear this youihf bl rdiscipfeJpf - fche - Matj a e neglect and indifference tha is - tati too ommoa. So far from apppreci- ;ir -? is atiog ear owu men we are quite fond of going off after; strangers and giving them the preferemje.yrThis; 4a either a confession that our men, young and mid djagdi a nd -oldy-are inferior''4''c betTayj,annwrdonable djsirrna-LthQ tion against- obrbwnj people and-a neghect that can find no proper justi fication. Why force young men of talents and education to seek homes among strangers and to give their lives and services to the building up' of other communities f The young divinity student eaid to bis friend o Virginia : "I dont oblct veiys.ertous.ly to. any kind of treatment.except the voice of unjust re proacb, amounting almost to- condemna tion, which will doubtless follow us, when we e.o where we are wanted' and where we will be iikdy4o--be appreciated. .North Carolinians love and revere their own state, s much as you Virginians ..the ; Old Uo minion; but. their expressions of affection are apt to be cooled when by her silent elo quence she tells them that she can dispense with their services, .then raises a wail when they leave her bounds." The young men of oar land who have capacity, education and State devotion should be cherished. It is men high minded, educated, men who make a State, Lorillard'a VV aliens tein .was last out of ten horses that ' ran for the New Market International Handicap. He won a race easily a few days ago over the same course, bat the victory placed ten pounds additional upon him which proved too much for his strength, we suppose. He is a three year old and is thought to be a su perior animal. Take it altogether American horses have - done well in England. They have been beaten ofteD, bat some of them have made successful contests. Parole beat his competitors until he was overweight ed. The horses now in- England apon which reliance ia placed are Parole, Falsetto, Spendthrift, and Wallen stein. There are several other horses to be yet tested. Bat for the peculiar English way of weighting American horses victories would be frequent. It is unsafe for any city to rely oo the belief that it is so necessary I outsiders that it mast be built up in spile of itself. The capital can be had if we have the men to show that H can be profitably employed. Charleston News t Courier. There is an important truth con tained in those few lines. A city must take care of itself. Wilming ton will only grow and thrive as its people are enterprising, bold, indus trious aud resolved. -With ample connections by rail and water,and some manufactories of various kinds, and our little oity will prosper and advance rapidly in population and commercial importance. Kansas has become so doubtful a Republican State that machine politi cians have been at work to fill the State with enough negro votes to overcome any falling off. This was shown by Dr. Striogfield, of Topeka. Besides there is evidence from other sources to establish the same fact. LFor the Star. CHEAP WATER TRANSPORTA TION. Editor Morning Star A writer from Wadesboro, in the Raleigh Ob server, of the 11th, seems to be much "behind the times" on the subject of cheap transportation a& now required by all producers, and hejgreat and rapidly increasing demand, for cheap freighting across the continent if I may so designate it, to the European ports by all branches of business. But a few years ago the farmers of the United States were burning up a large portion of their ora crop be cause it would not bear the cost -."-of transportation to rarke Since the multiplication of railroads no corn is burned, but millions-of Jjushels of it, and much greater quantities of wheat, with pork and beef, riow con stituting a large elenieliii f pur f sur plus prod notion for exportation from that section of , country . lying between the "Father of?

Louis as is Savannah, t.is 300 miles aearer New York by the water line than Savannah, hence it has. a fair show in that comparison.

Now it is said the wheat crop iff eleven States is sixty per cenL greater than it was last year. - Let him then note the various statement of the difficulties in get ling,this wheat to market, when a little block of only 1 l,O00t0UQ bushels got wedged into the Chicago mat ket and delayed the movement for a few days. To this notice the large and largely increased stream of emigration that is flowing westward to these shores from all Europe of its best farming popula tion, and thence spreading themselves over all that great plateau. I repeat, if any one doubts the cer tainty that Wilmington, with .-its twenty (20) feet of water secured to the sea, will in the very near future be a large exporting and importing port, let him study the subject from the standpoint I have given aud it is the true one and he will no longer bo a doubting Thomas. Savannah has already entered the lists because she was ready with her magnificent railway lines in order, and her splendid fleet of steamships ready. Wilmington has no time to lose. Let her Western lines be completed, and her steamships ready to co operate, and the business will come. The work will be offered, and if she fails to do it the fault will be hers and hers alone. S.

The Baptists report, in eight theological schools and seminaries, 45 candidates for the ministry. The Seminary at Louisville takes the lead, with ninety eight students; Newton Seminary has sixty nine students; Rochester Seminary sixty eight. In answer to the question, "What is he doing?" the wife of General Havelock replied: "I do not know what my husband is doing; but I do know tbat be is trusting in God and doing bis duty." Just that we all may do, and that makes the humblest life sublime. "Pa, are you in favor of the Bible in in public schools?" asked a young ster at the breakfa9t-tabfe.- "Why, of course I am," responded the father. " VVfaat makes you ask such a question, my son?" "01 only thought maybe you wasn't, as you never read it at home." These days no one is safe from the charge of plagiarism. Brown went to church last Sunday a thing unusual and upon being asked his opinion of the clergy man, said: "Oh, his sermon was very food; but that prayer beginning with 'Our 'ather,' I think he stole entire.

Ayer's Hair Vtgfor 9 FOR RESTORING CRAY HAIR TO ITS NATURAL VITALITY AND COLOR. It is a most agreeable dressing, which is at once harmless and effectual, for pre serving the hair. It restores, with the gloss and freshness of youth, faded or gray, light, and red hair, to a rich brown, or deep black, as may, be desired. By its use thin hair is thickened, and baldness often tlioHgh not always cured. It checks falling of the hair immediately, and causes a new growth in all cases where the glands arc not leeayed ; while to brasliy, weak," or otherwise diseased hair, it impa.i.- vitality a:ul strength, ami rentiers it pliable. The Yigou clcunsovs the scalp, cures and prevents the formation of dandruff; and, by its cooling, stimulating,: and soothing properties, it heals most if not all of the humors alul diseases peculiar to the scalp, keeping it cool, clean, and soft, under which conditions diseases of the scalp and hair are impossible. As a Dressing for Ladies' Hair The Viook is incomparable. It is color less, contains neither oil nor dye, and will not soil white cambric. It imparts an agreeable and lasting perfume, and as an article for the toilet it is economical and unsurpassed in its excellence. Prepared by Dr. J. C.

Gxplviloii o( 4le Berkeley Glanl Fowder Wurki-Ttveatr five or Xhlr - y men Killed. By Telegraph to the Morning Star San Francisco. April 17. Toe Giant Powder Works in the district of Berkeley, across the Bay, exploded yesterday after noon, lulling twelve white men and twelve or fifteen Chinamen. This is tbe third ex plosion this company baa siutained, all at tended witn loss of life. Tbe explosion occurred in the picking room, and all of ;the men tit work there were killed. There were about 6,000 pounds of powder in tbe room. All of - the victims were blown to atoms. A large portion of the skull of a .Chinaman was found with his queue at- tacbed. There were six bouses inside of tbe works and they were all blown to pieces, but the workmen m ihem escaped, with the exception of one man in the magazine, of whom no trace has been found. Outside of the works are six houses including tbe boating houss of tbe bands, all of which were more or less damaged, but are still standing. The explosion is supposed to be the re suit of carelessness. The workmen are hired by the piece and directed to use wooden mallets in picking cartridges but tney found tbey could work raster and make more money by using iron hammers a dangerous practice. It is supposed that some man struck hts cartridge once too often, and it went off, igniting the powder before him, which communicated with ad jicent packages with this terrible result.
