The pretext that his presence at Saliabnry ould prevent oar bona, in mey from having a hearty reunion of old eamp friendships, is made a sort of excuse for questioning the character of the oc casion which his loyal spirit seems to shrink from as suggestive of rebellion and treason. This ia all stuff and the disingenuous utterances of a man who has a record in this latitude, about aa enviable aa that of Captain Kid or the land pirate Murrol.

Well, did you evtx ? Sober reflections convinces us of the wisdom of the re-nomination of Gov. Robinson by the Democratic party of the State of New York. Tha question was whether Tammauy or the people should triumph. The entire Democracy of New Tork, eity and State, barring only Tam many, was iu favor of the re-nomination of Robinson, and for his friends to have abandoned him simply beoause ha was distasteful to minority, which has to borne itself for years past as to bB for feited all claims to respect or oon altera tion, would have been nothing short of cowardice, Tho case would havo been anything in Gov. Robinson's administra tion fairly open to criticism, but such there has not been. He has made a wise and an honest Governor. His has been a just and an economical administration, and Tammany's only objection to him is that he is Mr. Tilden's friend, and that it has not been able to use him ior the accomplishment of its selfish purpose. He has despised alike its smiles and its frowns; he has held aloof from it, and has conducted the government iu the in terest of the people, regardless of it. That Tammany policy is to rule or to ruin the New Tork Democracy was suf ficiently indicted in John Kelly's accept ance of its lamination for Governor. The marplot aocwed. tht be diA not ex- poet to bo elected himself but did expect to defeat Robinson. Thus has he taken his proper position in the politics of the Statex Henceforth he is hand iu glove with Coukling and Cornell for the over throw of the 9emocratio nominee, and in arraying himself with these he proves all the charges that the regular Democracy of New York has brought suit against hini. That he will bo able to control tho entire society of which he is the chief is not for a moment to be supposed. Maiiy of the merubor3, better Democrats than he, will forsake it and rally around the standard of Robinson, ex-Gov. Hoff man having already taken tho lead. Mr. Tilden has not yet begun to ply them, and when ho does Mr. Kelly will proba bly fiud himBelf left with rather an in significant folljwhig. t supposing, nowever, (though -it is hardly a supposable case,)- that Tammany remains perfectly solid iu adherence to Kelly, and that Kelly himself ' will not yet come over to Robinson, (and this is not improbable,) what thch? Tammany does not claim any strength outside of New York and Brooklyn. Robinsonf al ways string in the rural districts, was never so strong as now. Mr. Tilden in 1876, carried the State outside of. these cities by 8,000 majority, and it ia claim- ed that Robinson will do ever better, the enmity of Tammany giving him addition al strength in the country. If this pro phesy, and it is based on reason, should be yorified, his majority will bo very large and in all probability his election will mark the downfall of Tammany. The possibility of this circumstance should inspire every man throughout the Democratic party to wish Gov. Eobmson good luck. There is no cause whatever for dis- eonrngement iu the outlook in the empire State. With his own strength, and the all-poworful influence of Gov. Tilden in his behalf, wo have no doubt whatever of Gov. Robinson's re-election, Tammany to tho contrary notwithst inding. Char lotte Observer. A Decision of the Supreme Court Dogjett vs. tlithmoni awi Danville RaUroaA j Company. Nobth Cabolcta SrjrpBEJCB Court Jusrt Tint, 1879. uBad Form." The rule of liability of Railroads is thus summed up by tho Court : If the owner permit his cattle to stray off ad get upon the track and get killed or hurt, the Railroad is not liable unless the Company was carelessly run- j umg the train, or could, by the exercise of proper ears, after the animals were discovered, hive avoided or prevented the injury. The rules of the law require, in an ac tion for damages resulting from the neg ligence of the Company, or its agents and employes, that the plaintiff shall prove the negligence as a part of the case. The force of the piesumption raised by the statute (Batt. Rev., chapter 16, section 11,) only applies when the facts are unknown, or when from testimony they are onoertain. The facts being fully disclosed, the Court must decide whether they make out a case of negligence, and if they fail to do this, the Company is not liable. Tho Company is not required to abate the usual and safe speed of its trains lest there may be cattle on the track, which "may be killed or injured," and if a pro per lookout ia kept, and all leaeebabla efforts made when the obstruction is aeea to avoid accident, theCompany is exempt from responsibility, and the injury is as cribed to the contributory negligence of the owner iu permitting his cattle to roam about and get on the track. Negligence is a question of law to be decided by the Court upon admitted facts. Commutation of Sentences. Have J ustices Exclusive Origin al Jurisdiction in "Failure-to- YVork the Road" Cases. A case was appealed from Nash Su perior Court, August term, that will de cide this question. The grand jury found several bills against parties for re fusing to work the roads in Rocky Mount township. One of the cases was taken up, when Mr. Bunn, counsel for defend ant, moved to quash on tho ground that the laws of '79, chap. 82, gave exclusive original jurisdiction to justices. Solicitor Galloway replied that sec 6, of said chapter read as follows : "Any nerson liable to work on the road who al,nll f.iil tn attend and work, as herein- hofore nrovided. when Summoned so to do. unless he shall have paid the one dollar as aforesaid, shall beju' misdemeanor, and flAilollars nor more fined not leaafs; or imprisoned not ex thie five days, or both, in the discre tion of the court." This, he contended did no give the jurisdiction claimed, be cause it ran countei to the constitution,! wiich ordains that "the saTeral justices of the peace shall have jurisdictioa under uoh regulations as the onerat Assem bly shall prescribe, of all criminal' al ters arising within their counties where the punishment cannot exceed a fine of fifty dollars or imprisenmsnt for over thirty day3." This precludes the justice frbm power to both fine, and imprison, hence the statute is inoperative to give justices jurisdiction, except to bind and the final jurisdiction abides with the higher courts. The judge sustained this view, over-ruled the motion and defendant appealed. iarboro Southerner; ' Tho Governor has commuted tho death sentences of Alex. M. Brad well, white, and Thomas Roseboro, colored, in jail at Statesville, for burglary, to penal servi tude for life. These prisoners were tried at the last spring term of Iredell court. convicted and sentenced to be hanged on the 22d of August. Gov. Jarvis, how ever, respited- them until the 19th of September, and they would therefore have been hanged next Friday but for the Commutation. The crime with which they stood charged was committed on tho night of the 16th May last, upon the residence of Nicholas Stikeleather, citizen of Iredell, living about six miles from Statesville. He and several uh married daughters lived together in great simplicity. A young man, N. M. Millen, son of the late Rev. S. C. Millen; D. D., a greatly venerated minister of tho As sociate Reformed Presbyterian Church, and during tho war president of the Simonton (then Coneord) Female Col lege, at Statesville, taught school in the neighborhood and boarded at Stikeleath er's house. He learned that the family had several hundred dollars, and he or ganized a bandv:Composed of himself, haps another, for the purpose of obtain ing it. The attempt was made on tne night above designated. The door of the house was not locked but only latched. Millen lifted the latch and went in, while Bradwell stood on the porch and the ne gro kept watch at the gate. The party, however, made a complete botch or the job, and were freightened away without obtaining anything. The next day the party were tracked to Bradwell s house Millen,. shrewder than the others, neu the State and has never been arrested, though a reward of $200 has been offer ed bv the State for him, while Bradwell and Roseboro were arrested. Bradwell is a son of Dr. Bradwell, the nrnnrietor of the St. Charles Hotel at r r Statesville. He is about 40 years old, has a wife and two or three children, is an opium-eater and is regarded as weak- minded. The negro is entirely ignorant, and before this event was not regarded as at all vicious. The presiding judge and the solicitor who prosecuted the case each addressed a letter to the QoToinor urging upon uiui mo cumnraTanon of the sentence of death, and all the jury and nearly all the citizens of Statesville signed a petition to the same effect The people of States ville and Iredell were almost to a man in favor of the extension of executive clem ency in the case, and the action of the Governor will be almost unanimously applauded. We notice continually, in the conver sations of well-bred people the frequent use of slang. You can scarcely converse with any one now-a-days without being satiated with the inevitable "Hardly ever," or some expression akin to it. In the United States slang has become a mania, a mania that is rapidly becoming diseeminated thxoagh high as well as low life. Persops using slang scarcely ever rive a thought as to its nativity. never reflect from what source it derives its origin. They catch it up on tho fly, as it were, and repeat it, reiterate it to their friends as though they were getting off a species of humor that is exceedingly facetious. And these would-be humor ists would be insulted, shocked, did you inform them that the expressions they were so much attached to and brought up on all occasions were the outcome of Borne New York slum. We meet theVce, good, young society man, and ask h'" some simple question, and he replies by quoting, "Not by a fine large majority," and then goes on to repeat to you some local society gossip, and directly he says, "H is a terrible fellow; didyou notice his tie at the ball? Exceedingly "bad form waant it? "Bad form," that's the expression an expreaetfvyj.ve. ojTEverjthmg and of nothing jStasaljir. But all this jar gon passes current in society now-a-days. Perhaps some few of its members have escaped the contagion, but they are cat ering. Young ladies will purse up their rosy, red lips, and, with the most be witching smile, tell yon to ''give them a rest." or else not to "(five it away." ex pressions that one not versed in tho category ef American slang would fail utterly to comprehend. But it is futile to decry that .which is popular. The tidal wave of slang ia sub- mering the couatry, and a voice would have indeed to 19 potent to stay its pro gress. The only Lopo left us ia that eventually this execrable mania will have run ita course, and our youths and maid ens, retrospectively gazing upon it in years to come, Till regard its domoral izing influence ' in its proper aspect, Journal.

It has remained for a small boy in Ohio to commit the monumental crime of the year one which places, we may say, the civilization of Ohio far below that of Texas : At Waynesville, Warren county, a small town about fifty miles north of Cin cinnati, lived a Mrs. Hatto, a widow, thirty-five years of age. She had been divorced from a former husband named Anderson, and had living with her a son named Willie, the product of her first marriage. On the 26th of August her sister, a Mrs. Weeks, of Cluciunitti, came up to visit her, bringing with her a young diui:?litei. The boy.
