She says she ban visit fid twentv-seven States for j the purpose' of trying to have the law r.hano-pd as to woman. In most of changed as to woman. In most the States a married woman in the law is but a chattel and without per oonalitv. . A Wostern paper thus j - - a a states her condition: JDy ill milage UCL XUCIlUbjr una - wvu nurmul anrl Inst in that flf her hufiband. 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, onrrprwfora hr np.rsnnalitv: and becomes. legally, the vassal, the exclusive property nf her hnshand ' without nronertv rights. without the right of maternity, without TpmrTin1 lihp.rtv. without the right of con-- science: in short, without any natural or legal rights, she having lost all these at the "This is the legal status of married wo- men in neany au iue ducb auu icluluhco m t TT . n - f ' - oi mis union. .. , x , Mrs. Packard proposes to have this remedied by needed legislation The power of the husband is supreme and autocratic over tne 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. . bhe 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 supenn tendents to, oppress and rob the in- not insane. Whilst there have pro . ibably been no cases of conspiracy to Jrob sane persons of their liberty in outhern 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 certainlv hu- mane and iust that such occurrences should be prevented as far as possi- : 7 - Die Dy legal enactment. Anere 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 pro tection j of the laws by securing to them their postal rights." As the superintendents can prevent all in mates from communicating with the -- outer world by 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. H 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 right of in mates of asylums fo" write such let- tefsas they please to friends and relatives outside, shall be guaran teed to them by law. j vr e nave not undertaken to go into the subject with elaborateness, but merely to indicate two points in which legislation is needed. The lawaof 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 f oundm of a comparatively nnen lightened, not to say barbaric aee. Let legislation be enlightened, just, humane, broadly sympathetic. In what we have said there is no purpose to reflect remotely upon the management of our humane institu tions. They are all managed, we have no doubt, with full considera tion of the personal welfare and hap pmess of the inmates. In the case of the Baleigh lunatic asylum the man agement has been especially kind and . gentle. As long as Drs. Griasornand d uller are m charge we shall always feel that the cry ,pf distress will be "promptly heard, and that all that pa- tience and skill and sympathy can do to relieve the unfortunate inmates will - be freely offered. But the laws governing all of the benevolent insti tution pf the State should be such as to protect aU inmates now and here- after. v- - : x . ; One of the most ridiculous things to be now seen is old-time Democrats clamoring for the violation of State RigBV(see Blair bill) and the reten tion of th War Tariff. : While women shriekers are de manding the ballot quite three mil lion of males over twenty-one years ?f gfl,eU8ed bo much as to go to the polls in November. ' . v Big as the figures are it is given out that the actual increase in the as sessed value of property in the South since June 1880, when the census was taken, is 640 millions. A FACT FOB NOBTHBBN PAPERS We call the attention of Northern nanerR to one fact connected with oar public schools. There is so mach misrepresentation as to what the South has done and is doing for the negroes that it is well , enough to brine- oat an illustrative tact tnat occurs in this city. In the School District Number one, the following is the exact statement annear8 on the books: - . ri white HACK T"V I 4 COO VaIammi i aV ATI hand :......:.......$ 288 68 jjeoruary , loot, jjjwri.iuuiucu , VI. - fU) J ' - ...... .

' " Tk ta Q nn nAnifa Mi vaal census and the funds of one race cannot be a . ' m 1 . .il a usea to mase ud anv aencit or ior oeneat of the other. ' - - ?Ti " An', analysis of the 'above, shows that it costs more to ran 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 18d colored for eight months. .There is a surplus of $6,082 45 lor .tne negro schools, whilst1 for the whites there is an apparent dencit ot $282 34, but really a surplus of $163, deducting building expenses. &c The apportionment ought to be made according to the actual number of pupils attending, and not accord- to the number of children of school age. The result of making the assessment on a different basis is to give the negroes more than their 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. inFBOVE THE ROADS. borne twe - vears ago we took up the subject of public roads and treat ed it with some thoroughness. We showed what the difference War Via tween a good road and a bad road in tbe matter of transportatioiu A one- horse wagon , can convey as many pounds over a macadamized road as a four-horse . wagon could . convey over a mud pike. - Then when the cost of breakage, wear and tear, &a, are estimated the difference between 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 oben their eyes to the importance of hav ing better highways." The county roads must be. improved. .They are a disgrace to the State. The people will bear the expense if they can only find out which is the best way of se curing good roads. It is perfectly plain that the present1 plan of work- ing roads is a farce i failure. Good, substantial, ' permanent ' roads tare needed. How to get them is one of the most important an intelligent legislator can consider The Asheville- Citizen, one of the ablest and most intelligent of our public journals, says: Jiorth Carolina, the rural sections keeping yaw wku tua ciues ana towns, tnat longer toleration of our old roads, or the system of working them hanriori An WTl hv All 1 M f .

It contains an article upon the negro, and is headed "What Next?" It is from a colored man who . signs him self Osborne Hunter, Jr., and, we think, he is a North Carolinian. He writes-like a man of education' and sense would write. We read a part of his long- discussion -- with - interest. He thinks that the best -and wisest thing for the negro to do- now is to Btand off, take no active part in polr- tlOS ana rO tn wnrt H Ihfl Republican party has rather thrown f.TlA nAITf A -flF V Anil f It A TamAAraril party nas succeeaea witnout nim, and that the thing for him to do is"to keep in the middle of the road." ;j He thinks that after awhile the whites will divide and then it will be the negro a ODDOrtunitv and hA nan act with .reference to his own'best of the courts and methods o obtain intereBts.

He should become more thor- oughlv identified with the business inter ests of this country, which lead to fortune as well as fame. Experience has taught me that outside of politics "the high-toned" and cultured white people in the South are not so inimical to the advancement of the negro as many who are not in possession of He is right. The ' best white peo ple are the best friends that the in dastriou8, sober, decent negroes have; No man understands the feelings : of tne southern whites towards the ne groes but themselves.

He a rges upon his race the great necessity of making ' all mechanics "skilled mechanics" and all laborers "skilled laborers." He says truly that skilled labor , is always in de mand in a "country like this of purs. where capital and labor are so de pendent one upon another." We quote again: "In a country like this, where there is sucn rapid growth io every department of L im. a. . uuiuiui scuTuy, ana in an age nxe this, wnen mere is such unparalleled : progress maae in me aru ana sciences-' nMjinni u King, u tbe mechanic refuses to work. tbe wheel of industry fails to turn AnH with the protection of which American labor can boast, a fair remuneration for its service can be obtained, though it may not be in nronnrtinn tn the nrnflta nf ,h;t. capital can boast.

It strikes us that Osborne Hunter has a proper view of the situation. Too much politics is what has kept the negro in trouble and ; kept him dependent. .-The - men who have thriven aw the meo who have been sober, industrious, self-respecting, po me to tne whites and honest. T If the colored people will attend to their work, let the politicians run the coun try, and strive to elevate themselves morally and intellectually they : will nave a brighter future. lriOBjriON AGGRESSIVENESS, . The Utah Commission, in its ' re port, shows .that there has been a genuine polygamic revival during the year 1834. Jjt is true that; some of the 'saints' have ; met with obi stacles, and even some two - or - three have been killed, but all this has only stimulated others and caused renewed activity in behalf of vice and much marrying. The polygamists f the v call it a religion to have numerous wives,) are more defiant and aggres sive than ever before.; They have made strides not only in increasing the number of victims, but thev have extended their operations and are in vading adjacent States and - Terri tories with their army of propagan dists. The increase of plural " mar riages is marked. Reports from all countries but sir indicate that 106 males and 263 females have entered polygamy since tne passage of the Edmunds aot. Three-fourths or more of the Mor mon adults, male and female, have never entered into tbe polygamio re lation, yet every orthodox Mormon believes in; polygamy as divine revelation. , "" - - - It is certainly important that the Edmunds law should be supplement-, ed and strengthened. -- It is- a failure practically and unless a change is in stituted this great cancerous sore upon the body politic must continue to grow "and eat and . destroy.

It was due not only to those who represent ed the people themselves, but as well to the truth of history, that what purported to be a truthful record of what , nM ani done in Congress, should be what it pur ported to be, instead of being the carica ture that it was to day. The untruthful representations now made could but have tbe most injurious effect, especially on the young men ot the country, when they learn ed that instead of a speech being delivered to a full! house ' and ' in the presence of orowded galleries and. loud applause and immense bouquets to reward the orator, that orator did not deliver the'speech at all, but at jthe time of tbe supposed delivery was taking leisurely a luncheon in the Con gressional restaurant' or placidly smoking ma cloakroom.
