Superior; Court. The entire day's
sessions was consumed in the trial of the
hnv George Dowd. for murder. Our
j o '
readers will remember this case as the
"Oberlin Murder," a full account of
which appeared in the News at- the time
of the occurrence. .
The circumstances attending the cisc
are, briefly, as follows : The boy George,
quite a youth, stabbed his step-father
in the leg with a small knife, while the
said step-father was unmercifully beat
ing him with a stick, about one month
Ago at Oberlin (village,
v Gen. Cox and F. H. Busbee appeared
or the State and Maj. A. M. Lewis lor
the defendant.
: The evidence in the case was plain
that the boy did not intend to kill his
fond patient ; that the blade of the knife
in strirking the femoral artery was
merely a chance lick, unfortuuate for
the child-whipper; and after an able
argument on both sides, and an elabo
rate charge by the judge the jury re
turned a verdict of not guilty.

is on a visit to Oxford with the view of
making some preliminary arrangements
looking to the opening of St. John's
College as an Orphan Asylum. He
proposes to commence work at the ear

what he says that in a month or two he
will be fully installed in his duties and
prepared for the reception of orphans.
He has thus far made a most favorable
impression on our citizens. He
preached two very acceptable sermons

LEGISLATURE OF NORTH CAR
OL IN A .
Wednesday, Jau. 15, 1872.
SENAlE. ;
The Senate was called to order at 12
o'clock by Lieutenant Governor Brog
den. He said :
Senators : The Constitution of North
Carolina declares that the Lieutenant Gov
ernor shall preside as President of the Sen
ate. Having been elected to this office by
the people of the State onttae first Thurs
day oi August, anu uaving taxen ana
oay oi August, lot BuuuaviBgianenana
SUDSCrlbed my oath of office, I appear bsfore
you this day at your first meeting since the
first day of January, to enter upon the dis
charge of my official duties.
l deem it due to myseu to aeciare, on mis
occasion, that, "with malice towards none,
and with charity for all," I shall try to act
rainy ana impartially, Knowing no party
but what I conscientiously believe to be
rigl t, and shall rely upon your kindness
and indulgence to cover my errors. My
past experience has taught me lhat it is al
most impossible for the presiding officer of
a legislative body, composed of course of so
many ainerens imnus anu. opinions, to give
entire satisfaction on all occasions. But it
will be my constant aim and desire to act
according-to parliamentary laws and deci
sions and the rules of order for the govern
ment of the Senate.
As you were in session for about one
month before your late recess, you are in-
lormed or the situation oj our public attairs
and the financial condition of the State.and
you may rely upon my cordial co-operation
in support or an wise ana juaicious meas
ures tending to promote the happiness and
prosperity of the people. .
rne puDiic institutions oi me estate snouia
receive the careful attention of the Legis
lature. The Institutions for the Deaf and
Dumb and the BlindLthe Asyluni.for the
Insane, and also the Penitentiary are all
supported bv the tax-payers of the State.
and it is the duty of the Legislature to prop
erly investigate tne management oi mese
institutions, and to allow no injustice or
oppression, no favoritism or partiality to
be wrongfully practiced by any of their
managers or employees. .
Liet us raitniuiiyattenaiomeeaucationai
interests and necessities of the children of
the State. Let us provide necessary and
proper means for the cultivation of the
intellect and the improvement of the mind
and morals of the rising generation. Our
Constitution wisely provides "for a general
and uniform system of Public Schools,
wherein tuition shall be free of charge to all
the children oi the state, between the ages
of six and twenty-one-years." -
Our nresent free school law is tlenc;ent.
and needs emendation and improvement.
I believe in the truism that " morality and
intelligence are the only sure basis of our
government." , A well educated and christ
ian people are always prepared and quali
fied to guard and protect their rights and
liberties.
The main object of wise legislatian should
be to correct the errors of the past, and to
pass such laws lor the iuture as experience
and the necessities of the times may point
out to be juaicious, necessary ana proper
In an legislation recKiess proaigamy ana
wasteful extravagance are injurious to the
best interests of the people, and should be
avoids d as much as possible.
Economy forms one ol the prominent vir
tues and duties of 8 Republican Govern
ment. It does not consist, however, in with
holding from faithful public service a lust
compensation; neither does it consist in
according with parsimonious hands in pro
viding for the public necessities. But it
consists in closing every unnecessary araln
on the public treasury; and also, for the
same purpose, mere;is strenuously requirea
a juuicioua ajjpuctinuu ui liio itpprupriu.'
tions to their objects, and a vigorous execiv
tion of Hue laws regarding them.
Morth Carolina has wituin ner borders all
the elements of a greau" $tate. But her vast
agricultural and mineral resources are not
yet fully developed. Her people are chiefly
engagea in tne cuuivauon oi me son ; mat
vocation which was truly said by George
Washington to be "the most healthful, the
most useful and the noblest employment of
man." Agriculture, commerce, manufac
ture, and the mechanic arts, are the great
sources of our National and State prosperi
ty. They shouia be properly encouraged
by wise anc1 j udicious legislation .
It is a fixed principle in our Government
which cannot be too closely adhered to in
practice, nor too oiten repeated, that it was
instituted to promote the welfare of the
people; that those who make, and those
who carry into effect the laws, are but their
agents; and that to generate any distinct
interest between the people and their gov
ernment is incompatible with this princi
ple, and was never contemplated by
the
framers of our Constitution.
A perfect tolerance t f political opinion.
and freedom in the exercise of the elective
franchise, are indispensable; for a govern
ment based on public opinion becomes im
paired when intolerauce and lawleSxSon-
trol of the right of suttrs ee withdraw
it that support ; and we should bear
mind that, wnue unoer tue imperative Re
publican principle, the will of the majority
is to prevail in all cases, yet that "the mi-
nority possess rights, ' to violate which
WonnnSitionPto noii'ticai mnasnrps hontd
rather be invited than deprecated, for in I A message lrom the House of Repre
laudable opposition there may be found opntotirM informintr the Senate that the
oftAn.itv f roTti irmr nnrchnn rl it ha t-v,r tt
ten that "every difference of opinion is not
a difference of principle," and that, as citi
zens of the same republic, we are all equal
ly interested in tne nonor, weiiare ana hap
piness of our common country.
I congratulate you, Senators, and the peo
ple of Horth Carolina, upon an era of good
feeling which has dawned upon the country
and the calm which has followed our State
and National elections of 1872. It shows the
wisdom, virtue and efficacy of our republi
can constitutions and laws, when six mil
lions of voters in the United States can go
peaceably to the omnipotent ballot-box,
without any force, fear, or intimidation,
and cast their votes for the men of their
choice. ' '
Differences of opinion in relation to the
affairs of government may be conducive in
the end to the discovery of truth, and a
frank investigation of matters ol public
importance ought never to be discouraged.
But 1 think that well-meaning and sober
minded men will agree that there has been
too much passion and too little reason; too
much party and too little regard for princi
ple ; and that in examining the acts of our
public servants, there has sometimes been
a fearful disregard of truth and justice. Iet
us hope for more generosity anu chanty
hereafter. With no vain regrets for the
past, let us look hopefully forward to the
reward; of the future. Let us try to pro
mot the further development of our vast
and various resources, and improve the
credit of our State. Let us try to keep step
with the progressive spirit of the times, aud
the onward march of events, and show to
the world that we have not lived entirely
in vain in the latter part of the nineteenth
century. Letustry to preserve untarnished
the honor of North Carolina. Let her
bright escutcheon never be stained with
the foul blot of Punic frith.. It has been
well and wisely said, that " private credit
is wealth public honor is security. The
leather that adorns the royal bird supports
his flight; strip him of his plumage, and
you fix him to the earth." May our state
continue to advance and improve in all re
spects until It may be truly said of her,
"her ways are ways of pleasantnt ss, and all
her paths are peace." Let us try to serve
her according to the measure of our abili
ties and the best lights of our understand
