But it is neither wit jjot necessary to shut your eyes to glaring facts and o6trichlike think ..the boily is hidden because the head is stuck in the sand. The way to correct an evil is to look at it steadily ia tie-Jight of open day., In matters of public health as in crime Do good will come from , denying; plain facts. You must first see an evil before yon cau apply a proper remedy. 1 j . It is a fact that crime is steadily incrt'asing in the South, Prior to the war, in slavery times, murders among negroes were comparatively"; rare; among the whites .they were .very rare indeed as compared with thfl present. In North Carolina, we are" jjainid to say, crime is much more rjift; arni abounding than at any fornvcr time. We have but little doubt that io the last five years there have been more murders, or attempts -to kill occurring in North Carolina than in the preceding ten years, pr in ar.y twenty years before the' war. The Raleigh Biblical Recorder thus deliytrs its own opinion. It says: ! '.'Ilia prob&b'c that more murders were commitudin North Carolina during the put year than in any half dozen years since 1S65. Nearly every county has -had its crimiual and Its ioiim, Nearly every comauoity in the State has been shocked by tbo terrible annouocement that some one of Ha ciiizus has been murdered.' I ! "Tte uumber of these terrible expert enws have rapidly iotreascd during tbe last five or tix years. The people are be coming alarmed and are asking nov only for tte causes that hare led to this) deplor able and ruinous state of public morals, but are equally interested in discovering some remedy for the evil." I j Whatever the causes of this alarm ing and dreadful increase of crime the feet remains, we take it. We could again discuss the causes as we have done in former editorials, but it would probably do no good. As we look at it the chief causes for in .create of crime, aside. from natural depravity and widely prevailing ten dencies to evil, are the following: . First, defects in the criminal liw and the failure of Courts to render speedy verdicts. j ' Second, a false public sentiment that condones crime. and sympathizes with' villains." This is seen in nume rous applicalioos extensively signed for executive clemency, and in bestowing-floral, tributes ' by foolish women1 upon such red-handed mur derers ss Cluverius. " '. Fcunh, the oue-man power. Fifth, the failure of prosecuting officers to do their duty, j Sixthj the jury system. The list might be extended, but these constitute the! chief causes of crime, and until they are corrected there: will be but little abatementjof crim.;. It is simply most deplorable that in a State that has been always bo law abiding as North Carolina so many incarnate devils should despoil and kill and . deflower and sow the 'whirlwind. ! "'. THK FOWEBS OF CONGRESS SCHOOLS AND COnidERVB. !" We kne'w that the present Super intendent of Pubho InstrBCtion, be lieved warmly in Federal Pedagogy, but we did not suppose he "was pre pared to go "the whole-hog" as some other go it. He says: : j "WLy,acy Southern member, who is in favor, of public education, should oppose this, measure is beyond my comprehension, all arguments about its unconstitutionality o tbe contrary notwithstanding.' ! j : :; He ia prepared then .to accept aid at any cost. The Constitution may S. to the dogs so the State gets money ' from the Federal Treasury -that was never "designed for school teaching purposes. We do not think the Superintendent is a safe constita' tional guide, however active he may -e m the. discharge of . legitimate ly. His effort to create- public sentiment in favor of, the Blair sys teni of Federal school teaching will Dot be indorsed bv the" Stab. It is'a deplorable blunder. There is no more dangerous bill possible. If adopted hy the Congress it wonld in the end destroy the public schools, or, what 18 worse, make the States eternal pensioners upon Federal bounty. : It is almost a foregone conclusion that the bill in some shape will be come a law. The South is gravitating wy degrees to the centralized theory VOL. XVIII. that the Congress is capable of do mg anything it pleases-, and that the States have no independent ' autono my. This Blair bill iaaatron g move ment io the direction of of oonsolida tion. Bttt the sense of the coantry Federal It" is a intense we believe to be' in favor of taxation tor,:ae schools tremendous stride towards Hamiltoniamsm."' The Inter-State-Commerce bill is meeting with opposition in ate. ; True to his r uniform j and con sistent policy ; Senator, Morgan, of Alabama, "stands op for the! power of States to deal Hrllh anestiona on! cerning their internal interests, and in opposition" . toFederal invasion. He believea that the bill was in the direction of great central .Bossism. His wora are important and signi ficant enough to be reproduced. He said: "He could not subscribe to "the doctrine that inter-8tate commerce could only be protected through the. action-' of Congress. The bill was. based solely on that false premise; it opened the door to the interfer ence of Congress with every regulation of trade and commerce. It exposed the charter of every railroad j company given ' by the States to modifications through the acts of Congress. For a hundred years the States had assisted and protected inter-State com merce. Congress; doubting the extent of its powers. -had permitted such assistance and protection on the part of the States, and in doing so had blessed tbe country by its in action.: He admitted all that had been said as to the sufferings and wrongs of the peo ple through the greed of railroad compa nies; but in finding a remedy for the evil, he1 neither wished to find for the people a new4ha&ter (remote from them and their in fluence) in Congress, nor to place in the hands of that master power over; their trade 8nd traffic more dangerous forjj them than even xhe power of the railroad companies " ' Senator Morgan, above Jjall mem bers of the Senate, unless it be Sena tor Maxey, is certaio to bejjf ound 'al-. ways on the eide. of the Constitution and its limitations, and against an un wise, or a questionable, or positive invasion of the prerogatives of the States. The Stab is not insisting that under the construction of the Supreme Court the Congress has not the power to regulate traffic between tbe Stales. 'Aside from the utility or necessity of ,Buch a regulation the Stab would merely say that a bill of the kind proposed is only another. step in the direction of c. o thing the Congress ' wjjtb supreme j makins the irovernment o power and the coun- try by the-Congress still more abso- lute, still mjre despotic, J . The Inter State Commerce bill has two sides to it. be said in its A great, deal may tavor. it is very r. plausible and has an invit ng look. It protniseH ioj do "so muct that men cateh at it arid pronounce it the great boon of the age the great panacea of all tho 'industrial ills to which American fesh is heir. But there jj ' are two side 1. Senators Morgan and Piatt have eiown what can be said in opposition. I That there are very serious, very great evils attending the present system may not be denied. The country needs relief, but is it certain that it - will come in the way pro posed ? Senator Morganj says it will greatly injure Alabama.1 Senator Piatt declares that it will result in consolidating the great companies and crushing out the email. His words as telegraphed are: j . j -"This bill left open and invited the worst kind of combination a consolidation of railroad corporate capital. What were the ratiroaas to ao 11 pronioiiea irom mating pooling arrangements 7 Experience taught that the old rate wars would 1 begin again, and the end of it would be, as it always had been. 'consolidation. Monopolies of this country bad been built on (he graves of weak competitors, ine Dili invitea agrana monopoly of railroad capital in this coun try, which would be built on the graves of railroads that are not able to Stand in com petition. That railroad monopoly -would be the master or ine people. I We say, again, it is hot assured that- the bill will . bring the great blessings prophesied by its friends. It may be a leap in thsjdark, and in its trail may follow curses, and wrongs greater than those it is in tended that; it should remove. - At best, we believe, it is an experiment. We showed yesterday that the cost of railroad transportation had been very greatly reduced. jOn the old, great lineB transportation is only one sixth or one-fifth what the business men ofthe country paid 'thirty years ago. : Rates j have been teadily de creasing through the years. It is also true that the methods employed for operating have been j materially changed and improved. Itis not claim ed that there are not still many and great causes ! of complaint through out the country. But there is ad vance in thel right direction. It is boldly claimed by those," who op pose the bill before the Congress that the present American system s a long way ahead of ;the European system. The consolidated, Govern' ment system! ,has oppressed the peo ple very -greatly more than the American system of free competi tion. The Stab! is not blind to errors and defects,! and to the; justice of complaints.' It believes that the sys tern might be greatly improved and that some of the complaints are just. Bat the point is will the , bill before Congress bring the relief expected, insure justice tfrid not cause other evils that may b& even morel serious than those now existing? f, The pres ent system1 is not an ideal, perfect system, but it is. an important, exi ng system,-, and if : displaced very great ctUs'- may 1 possibly ; follow. Who knows ? Who is so wise as to be . certain that Senators Morgan, Piatt and others are -wrong and the advocates. of the bill areiright.- ;C 5 It ; is . a rjost difficult problem we take, it." .The bill may prove a bless ing, and -it may prove a enrse. , The Lonisville Courier-Journal is an ex ceptionally able paper j and is pub lished in one of the largest and most floarishing of Southern cities, v It says of the ;bill, and what is said should be duly considered: " 1.x ' "Oar entire commerce,' foreign and do mestic, rests on cheaper rates for through (than for local business. This system of charges is not the work of one man, or of a pool; it is not the clear conception of any commercial-organization offered to trans portation. It has grown up gradually and unintentionally, and it must be traced to some influence outside of the control of pools or of legislation. It has been due to tbe all-pervadine law of competition which, like the great force of eravitv. has defined the hmits enr orbits of each commer cial centre. It is not conceivable that traffic- - managers would, for "mere- pleasure, . carry freight for less pay one hundred than fifty miles. When done it is done under compulsion ; it is a concession, a compro mise, made necessary by the river, or the canal, or the discovery of new facilities of production or construction greater in one locality than in another. Take for instance, Louisville as a tobacco mar ket, pr Minneapolis as a grain market, or Memphis as a cotton market, section 4 will strike directly at these cities, ! and at all in terior cities,' and destroy tbe business con nections, which are the growth of a gene ration. The railroads will, if the bill passes, either have to apply tbe through rates to all local points, or they will aban don all competitive or through business to the river, the canal and the Canadian roads. If they apply through rates to all local points, all business will be centred in New York. ;That city will overebadow this country as Paris does France. . . The effect would be to annul the natural advantages of points where water and rail compete, and put all on a dead level. The system which makes it possible to ship through cars from San Francisco to New York would slowly, disintegrate, and the various trunk lines 'would be cut up into mere local roads. For all this there is no compensation." How true all this is we may not un dertake to say, but it is surely worth the attention of alt now - discussing the merits of the bill. That bill may benefit localities, communities, even sections, but is it probable that' it will benefit the country at large? How will it affect North Carolina? We have not been able : to give the message of Governor Scales such examination as it requires. A cursory glance reveals the tact ot care and method. He considers a great many questions in detail and with most of his recommendations approve. When we come to ex- ine it carefu ly we may be able to dorse all.

Jones lived with Williams, and on the night the bur glary was committed he knocked at the door of Williams' house, saying "let us in they have shot at us."

' tbv Telegraph to the Morula Star.. New Haven. Jan. 8. In the City Court this morning Judge Pickett rendered a de cision in the cases of Wm. II. Wallace, Assistant Superintendent of tbe New York -New . Haven & Hartford Railrotd, and Stacey H. Opdyse, Superintendent of the New Haven & Northampton Railroad, ac cused of conspiracy by Thomas F. Meany, wbo charged them with blacklisting bim. The accused were fined $50 each. Tbey will undoubtedly appeal from tbe decision.. The Judge, in his decision, said that be was clearly of opinion that a conspiracy designed to hinder any man from putting his labor on the market when, where and for such compensation as he may agree for, is equally criminal with such conspiracy designed to hinder tbe sale of merchandize of any producer or dealer; and is more dis astrous in effect than any other form of conspiracy, except that to take . life. To convict of such conspiracy circumstantial evidence is competent and may be conclu sive. It is sufficient if it is shown that Ibe parlies bad a mutual understanding to a common design and the part each was to perform in the attainment thereor. Ihe Court is satisfied that Wallace- and Opdyke had mutual understanding, that a man not approved by the : one should not be em ployed by tbe other. This was to all in tents and purposes a boycott upon indi viduals. -. !.: - .-. . - i . :' shipwreck, 1 W j i Crew liost Five members of the Life . saving Service Drowned.
