Wheu he is sentenced to uve ye'arsiu the county, prison for his dastardly conduct, brutal beyond be- lief, Judge Kerr is held up before the legal profession and 'the country as I . . 1: i having visited upon Driver exoessive, . " - 1 iniuMual and cruel punishment. We had never read Judge. Reade'a opinion until quite recently. We wil not undertake to say, after reading it, that Judge Kerr did not in his natu- ral indignation against tbe monster - sentence him to a punishment that is greater than the law allows. He may have done so, for aught we know,' and the i Supreme Court may , have thought itself bound to decide as it did. : If the position of the Court is correct, we can but regret that some other Justice was not selected to write the opinion. Judge Reade is a man of intense bitterness and in tense prejudices, and he has not liked Judge Kerr, personally, for twenty years. He knows how Judge Kerr despises meanness, and ' how . grandly he has borne himself through the trials of the last ten or twelve years. Judge Kerr, be it remem bered, was one of. the victims of the Holden-Kirk war ' persecutions, and, was jailed by the order of 'Holden, in connection with the "venerable Dr. Roane, Hon. : Josiah Turner and! others, without the slightest cause under heaven, and in violation of. the constitution and civil liberty and the rights' of man. Justice 'Reade knows that probably no man in North Carolina has so deep a con tempt for the "exhausted J udiciary w of 1868-'7p as this same Judge Kerr. J udge Reade knows, well how to- "bide his' time" and nurture hia malice. He knows, too, how ' to strike with his pen, for, it is keen and. piercing. Read the deoision careful ly then, and we think the critieal reader will be able :.to discern some poison mixed with the ink. There are expressions, as. it appears to us, that ftre specially and nnnecessanlf . buing,;andiWe can; imagine how-jthat ' plaeid, balm, jesuitical face of Jodge Reade's snowed a ripple of delight as he traeed the words. It would have been.; , well : .if some member , ot the Court who ffc not such a gpod hater "aa open entrusted wilh.tbe , work of reviewal. .-; i- ''' " The Raleigb' JVt0 baa demanded that buK statuio5'lawV should be re viBed, and that adequate punishment ' ,e proviaea tor htx&panaa ,no treat their i wives inhumanly. i Thi should be done bVall mean'a."'
