'f -'": The Morning Star. ' By WILLIAM H. BERNARD. " - i WILMINGTON, N. C. Monday Evening, Dec. 22, 1884.' EVENING EDITION. TWO POINTS FOR .LEGISLATORS Mrs. Packard, of Chicago, called to see as. She is unusually culti vated and intelligent. She says she has visited twenty-seven States for the purpose of trying to have the law changed as to woman. In most of the States a married woman in the law is but a chattel and without 'per- sonality. A (Western 'paper thus states her condition: -'Ely marriage her identity has been merged and lost iu that of her husband,-so that forever after, while she continues in the married state, she is in the eyes of the law, a nonentity. She ceases to be a dis tinct person, like an, unmarried woman, surrenders her personality; and becomes, legally, the vassal, the exclusive property of her husband, without property rights, without the right of maternity, without personal liberty,, without the riht of con science; in short, without any natural or ' legal rights, she having lost all these at the moment of marriage. This is the legal status of married wo men in nearly all the States and territories of this Union." - Mrs. Packard proposes to have this remedied by needed legislation. The power of the husband is supreme and autocratic over the wife; even to robbing her of her liberty as has been the case in some States. Persons have , been incarcerated in lunatic asylums upon false charges and so safely immured as to be indefinitely deprived of their liberty. She pro poses that the legislation in all the States shall be in conformity with liberty, and shall place it beyond the power of vicious and venal superin-- tehdentsto oppress and rQb the in mates of their personal fredom when not insane. Whilst there have pro bably been no cases of conspiracy to rob eane persons of their liberty in Southern asylums, it is not impossi ble that it should occur. There have been doubtless instances of cruel treatment by underlings if not by su perintendents. It is certainly hu mane and just that such occurrences should be prevented as far as possi ble by legal enactment. -There is a bill now pending in the Legislature of South Carolina, which has been recommended, for adoption by the Committee on Charitable Institu tions, and that is intended "to place the Insane Asylums under the protection- of the laws by securing ' to them their postal rights." As the superintendents can prevent all in ! .mates from communicating with the outer world toy letter, and thus wreak vengeance . and outrage upon Victims if they are base enough to do so, it will be safe at least to have all asylums under the strict control of law. In a free country it is a great crime to bring in the bastile and the exploded tyrannies of the Dark Ages. The women of the land should have identity before the law and married women should have their rights pro tected; We believe - that any de fects in our laws as to protecting married women and "emancipating her from all of the legal disabilities - of-- coverture should " be speedily remedied, and that the rightof pin- mates of asylums to write snch let ters as they please 'l to friends and relatives outside shall be guaran teed to them by law. " . '. - We : have not undertaker to go into the subject 5j!ratefiess but merely to.indicate two points in which legislation-" is .; needed. The laws of North , Carolina should be abreast with the spirit of,the age and there should be no oppressions , and injustices left upon the statute book; In England legal reforms have been slow-paced and there are still relics to be found of a comparatively unen lightened, not to say barbaric agei Let legislation be enlightened, just, humane, broadly sympathetic. , In what we have 'said there is no purpose to reflect remotely t upon the management of our. humane institu tions. They are all managed, w? have no donbt,: with full considera tion of the personal welfare and hapf piness of the inmates. In the case of the Raleigh lunatic asylum the man- agement has been especially kind and gentle. As long as'Drs. Qrissom and. Fuller are in charge we shall always feel that the cry of distress will be promptly heard,' and that all that ps tience and skill and sympathy can do to relieve the unfortunate inmates will be f reely offered. . But the laws governing all of the benevolent insti tution of the State should be such as to protect all inmates nowvand here after. . - A FACT FOR NORT HBBlf PAPERS We call the attention of 'Northern papers to one fact connected with our . public schools. There is so much misrepresentation: as to what the South has done and is doing 'for the negroes that it is well enough to bring nout an illustrative fact that: occurs in this city. - In the School District Number one,' the following is the xacfc statement as appears on the books: WHTTKBACE.

The assessment is $2 per capita on yearly census and the funds of one race cannot be used to make up any deficit or for benefit of the other. An 'analysis, of the above shows that it costs more to run the white schools than the colored schools. It cost $2,487 02 to teach 171 whites eight months and $2,118 05 to teach 189 colored for eight months. 'There is a surplus of $6,082 45 for the negro schools, whilst for the whites there is an apparent deficit of $282 34, but really a surplus of $163, deducting building expenses, &c. u The apportionment ' ought to be made according to the actual number of pupils attending, and not accord ing to the number of children of school age. The result of making "the assessment on a different basis is to give the negroes more thatfeir share of the money. We have reason for saying that this remarkable provision for the ne groes comes out of the '.pockets of the . white tax-payers, as full nine teen twentieths of the school fund are paid by the whites. IMPROVE THE ROADS. Some two years ago we took up the subject of public roads and treat ed it with some thoroughness. 1 We showed what the difference was be tween a good road and a bad road in the matter of transportation. A one horse wagon can convey as many pounds over a macadamized road as a four-horse wagon ' could convey over a - mudpike. Then when the cost of breakage, wear and tear, &c, are estimated the difference between J-good and bad roads becomes still. more conspicuous. -There is no doubt that the bad roads of North Carolina are a great drawback upon immigration as well as a serious interference with the trade of the people. In the upper counties this is well understood. We have known the roads in Granville, Caswell, Orange and other counties to become almost entirely impassa ble, and have seen men forced to travel on horseback because of the mud. " The people are beginning to oven their eyes to the importance of hav ing better highways. The, county W',,''"'I",'-T,TI roads must b-improvedThey -are a disgrace to the State. The people will bear the "expense if they can only find out which is the best way of sef curing good' roads. It is perfectly plain that the present, plan of -work-; ing roads is a farce a failareQood, substantial, - permanent roads B are i needed.: : . How to get them . is one of the most important questions tbat an lmemseux, legislator can consiuer Thei AsheVille - Yijbne of the ablest and : most intelligent of our public journals, says: ' "Population is increasing so rapidly in North Carolina,' the rural sections keeping pace with the cities and towns, that longer toleration of our old roads, or the'systempf "working them handed down by our fore- fathers, who were few in number and poor in resources, 'cannot, be permitted. : The Seople want reform in this regard, and we ope our legislators will prepare 1fl this re? sped Politics are not wanted during the next session and he who makes the best re-f cord in measures for the real , material im: provement of the State .wiU be most favor? ably remembered by the good people of the Stote.s'snc.T;-'S:;3-A ,v a::etau ' We do not think that ' will pay id work the roads by t bringing 6uti!a certain class of the population who ? wul not . work. - There is no j as tic in compelling a man to work a road which he never 'travels over' and has neither ox, horse - nbr.ule.y' wagon, cart nor buggy. He will not work. . He may go out in. answer to a summons,but he will not do faith ful work. ' , I The property of the country should bear the tax mainly .It thcfi public, roads of the State are ever, made durable and 'excellent ; itamustbe done by taxation, v There must be conipetent overseers employed and they must have control of a certain number of hands by the month until every county road is put in the best possible condition. n , THE PERIODICALS. . North Carolina University Magazine for; December has a continuation of Mrsi Spen-j cer's pleasant sketches of "Old Times in Chapel Hill," and three papers by students. This publication has improved. If the members of the Faculty would contribute more generally the Magazine .would take s higher rank. In other days the Professors were its most valued contributors. Presi dent Swain supplied it with historical pa pers of much interest, and Prof. Phillips contributed at least one paper of very great importance. The Magazine is now hand somely printed and is supplied at $1 00 a year. The North Carolina Teacher for Decem ber is a Christmas number. It appears in a colored back and has a picture of Santa Claus after the pictorial almanac style. Its first contribution is some stanzas from Mrs. Mary Bayard Clarke entitled "Let us be up and Doing." We take leave to say that Berne, Switzerland, is spelled Bern or Berne, but more commonly Berne, and, therefore it is proper to write New Berne. Among the contributions is one from Rev. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, of Raleigh, on "A Short Talk about Books." Price $1 a year. Mr. N, B. Cheek, Wsxrenton, N. C, says: "I consider Brown's Iron Bitters a most ex cellent tonic" THE ROADS THREATENED WITU ' R UIN LIBERAL LEGISLATION NEEDED,' Savannah News. While the people want a commis sion to see that they are notmade to suffer from unjust discrimination, they are not disposed to insist upon the exercise of powers that tend not only to check railroad building, and consequently the develo wment of the State, but threaten to ruin the roads already in operation. What they want to know, therefore, is whether the powers, now ' exercised ? by the commission are damaging to the rail roads and an obstruction to railroad building. - i- What is wanted in this and every L other Southern Stafeis capital. A great deal of the capital in the South doesn't belong here. It is sent here for investment, and will remain here, only so long as it pays a fair return' to its owners. Immigrants are also wanted. If capital and immigrants come into the South freely the next few years she will be rich soon. "l She has everything necessary to) create wealth except workers and7money.: The two will come together; Texas and Florida have been getting both for several years, ad their, growth in. wealth and population is wonderful. Are-there not some reasons whvthev have had a greater degree of prospe- nty luan otner ooutnern states which have been generally comment ed on ? Are not their laws relating to capital and immigration ; more lib eral? Have they not both made ex traordinary efforts to secure immigra-j won, ana nave tney not made liberal concessions to capital?. There are two policies which may be pursued in legislation. Under one policy it is assumed that the citi zens of a State are hardly able to take care of themselves, or to man age their business affairs with .shrewdness and intelligence. For eign capital is taxed whenever it can be done, and publio enterprises that are sustained by foreign capital are made to bear unnecessary burdens in ; order that the burden or the citizen may be lightened. , It is a short sighted policy because it stunts the growth of a State and eventually in creases the burdens of the citizen; : The other policy is to' encourage the investment ; of capital, the pro motion of publid enterprises and: the 'development of lhduStries4 This is (done by liberal laws. r:lncreased pros perity of the State not only lightens the burden - of . the citizpn. lint, in.

A motion was made and carried, amid cheers and howls, to go to Traverse and sack and burn every building and hang every man found.

Un the receipt of this news the Traverse officers ordered the wo men and children to leave the town, and the order is being rapidly obey ed. The mob is not expected to reach here much before dark.
