Saturday on a Charge of Crimina^As
&mmL ' ;4Wili.,: ;■
The Raleigh papers of Sunday
= bring news of a tremendous sensa
. tion. The following' is from the
' Jfew^Obgervef: ' '
A profound sensation wascreated
, bere last night by a rumor which
" Rapidly gained currency that Rev.
- Father'd. J. Boyte, pastor; of,, the
’ Church of the Sacred “Heart, Of this
. f ity, had been arrested on a fchargej
of criminal assault on If'88 Geneva ]
. Whitaker, a member of the church ]
and also the organist of the church.
On investigation the facta were
learned about as follows: "
?i About 8 o’cloek Esquire Wesley
’“f" - Whitaker, the father of the young
lady, had a warrant issued for the
arrest of Father Boyle on a charge
• - • of attempt at rape. He was imme
diately arrested on this warrant and
was held in custody at his sesidence,
the parsonage.- - -
- Later, about 10:30 o'clock Esquire"
f, Whitaker came to the office of May
or Thompson and secured upon affi
davit a second warraht making a
: direct charge of rape. This Was
done as the result of examinations
-■£-,1. which had been made since the issu-,
> tag of the first warrant. This war
.rant was served -and Father Boyle
still held in custody at the par
s mage while consultation of his at
*S- forneys tookplace.
The circumstances of the occur
& ■
fence, as they were learned'lest sight
r were indefinite and vague. It was

her, who ii about fifteen yeara - of
- age, went to the church, which is in
t ie same building with the person?
age, yesterday afternoon and was en
gaged. V the auditorium making
some preparations for Sunday. It
was stated that Father Boyde on
-V .some pretext induced her to go Up
■ stairs to his room. -
Father Boyle, it is stated, has for.
!#■:: several weeks been indulging heavily
- in drink, and for the last week es
fHi
s{
•?'
ipecially be has been coustantly nn-~
•der the influence of intoxicants. His
fast living has for some time past
been a source of concern to|the mem
bers of his chnrch, and recently, the
Bishop has been appealed to, and
measuresbavebeen instituted to have
him dealt with hy the church.
~He is ayoung*man, and has been
pastor of the church here for about
’f.t'six months.' He is a native of the
2 State of Pennsylvania, and is of Irish
. descent.— . -"...
He was id consultation with his

morning at 10 o’clock. The prose
5. i •cation will be conducted by Solicitor
*"* Argo, Devereux & Wilder and Arm
Jstead Jones, Esq.
t Kh *. 'Since the above Father Boyle has
£ waived examination until Wake
Superior Court. He is still in jail.
An immense crowd of people fol
lowed him to jail. -
- It is' stated that he claims that
" r ‘ the whole affair is a plot to ruin him.
He says he has enemies' among the
’j; - members of his congregation who
hare concerted to have him dis
' graced.
t°r
There in a great deal of speculation
as to his having committed the deed.
The solution that is genorally given
u that he was erased by drink.
The members of his congregation
and others, state that he is greatly
addicted to drink, and that he has
been indulging heavily for weeks
past. It is thought by some that
he was on the verge of 'delirium tre
mens. '
, Boyle always seemed to have plen
ty of money, and is said to have been
aponding it profusely.'
Application was mode to the Gov
ernor by counsel for the State, this
evening, to call a special term of
Court to^iry the case, as there--is-no
regular term of the court till Sep
tet- ber.
The excitement is intense, but as
yet there is ho great apprehension
.of lynching.
GOV. GORDON AND R. B. HAYES.
Why the Governor Thinks Full Justice
Has not Been Bone the Latter,
l-orlc World.
Itt one of thh published speeches
mode by Gov.; John B. Gordon, of
Georgia, during hie present stay in
this city, he attracted much atten
tion by a favorable mention of ex
President Hayes. As Gov. Gordon,
although a Senator from Georgia at
tlje time, was the accredited repre
sentative of Sooth Carolina in
Washington daring the troubled
days for that State immediately suc
ceeding the inauguration of Hayes
his reasons for this compliment to
the “fraudulent" President/ will
bureau historical importance. A
reporter of the[ World was therefore
sent to Got. Gordon at hu hotel oh
Fifth avenue yesterdy, to secure sa
statement from, him in the premises:
Gov. Gordon' received the reporter
with his noted urbanity and said:'
“I have always felt that justice to
President Hayes was not accorded
by eithr party. It was , my fortune
to have opposed his inauguration to
the last moment, and as : long as
ihere was any hope of inaugurating
Mr. Tilden. But after his inau
guration I had been asked by Goy,
■Hampton, who had been elected,
but not inaugurated; in South Caro
lina, to remain in Washington and
look after the interest of that State.
.. “The condition of South Carolina
at that time Wag deplorable and
alarming./ There werein the House
of .Representatives two Legislatures,
each claiming to be the rightful
House of that State: One was a ne
gro Legislature, the other-white.
Upon thp same speaker’s stand sat
two Speakers—one white, the other
black-’-bqth with gavels in their
hands. Through the corridors and
arqund the Capital were United
States troops.^ ‘ '
“This doubled bod; sat night and
day, week after week, and there was
constant danger of a bloody collision,
the reseult of which no man could
predict. It therefore became a mat
ter of great consequence that this
condition of things should be altered
and that the United States troops
should be removed leaving Gov.
Hampton to take the seat to which
he had been chosen.
“I made an appeal day after day
and week after week to President
Hayes to sign the ordenemoving
the troops. Finally, after long and
[aborous effort and in the fuceof op
position by his own party followers,
he said to. me, using language of this
import, which struck me as worthy
of any man, who ever filled that
high seat:
"Gen. Gordon, if I take this ac
tion, my own party will not sustain
me, nor will your party uphold my
hands. On the contrary, the Dem
ocrats will be-glad «f the opportu
nity to strike a blow when I am
deserted by ftny portion of my own
party.-* i'he action, however is right
and I shall sign the order, knowing
that my course will cause me to fall
between the two parties.”
*‘I repeat,” continued Gen.Gordon
with much emphasis, “that such
courage, such singleness of purpose
to diseharge a high ohligatioft with
out reference to personul consequen
ces have always impressed me with
the belief that great injustice had
been done a good and brave man.” '

The new college building is a fine
brick structure, and the sum of $30,
000 has already been expended upon
it. It is located near the fair
grounds, on a site of 60 acres of
ground, donated for the ’ purpose by
the liberal spirited Mr. Pullen, of
Raleigh.
Free tuition will be given one
student in each county for each rep

EMIGRATION OF NORTH CAROLINA
WHITES. "
■- f . 2. ■ i fc '
from Wilmington Btair.i ,
To tbe Editor of t|£Star:—Your
Article recently published in regard
to emigration from North Carolina
by white taen, and ' the comments
upon it by other State papers offers
a tempting opportunity for tome one
to apeak the plain, naked truth about
the characteristics of ©ijr people. In
these characteristics fifie whole phi
losophy of the subjecbis to lie-found.
The mere fact of emigration sonifies
nothing. That ia common to every
State in the Union. The American
people are a restless, migratory pop
ulation. But the causes of emi
gration are very different, in different
localities. A New Englander seeks
other regions ' because agriculture
is impossible atho me, and the oth
er indnstries are over-crowded, and
so it is in most of the other North
ern States. He goes because .there is
too much life, and too much compe
tition at home to make success easi
ly attainable in the ordinary pursuits
open, to him, hut a North Carolina
emigrant abandons a State whose
natural advantages are. almost un
parallelcd-whose resources, though
practically limitless, are undevelop
ed, after an occupanoy of the land
by and English speaking: people for
two- Hundred years, wnose cjnnate is
absefiitefy the best ia> the: world, and
whose1 population, though compara
tively sparse, is large enough to
make a great and prosperous coin
monweaUhi. Eliminating the ele
ment of mere? adventure;, which is
common to all Americas'communi
ties, why have so many North Car>
olinians in the past^sought their’
fortunes elsewhere; and why are-so
many young men leasing arid prcpar
ing to leave the State now? ft cert
ainly is not attributable to any lack
of natural advantages for accumula
ting a competency, or even great
wealth; it is npt due to unjust or un
equal laws which favor classes, cor
porations,or individuals, or hamper
the spirit of enterprise ;il cannont be
because of unfaithful or corrupt ad
ministration for there has been none;
and no State has, or ever had, a bet
ter constitution Or laws; or has been
freer from the vice of modern civili-j
zation (so-called) that she.
Why, then, is it that there is and
has been Such a widespread feeling
that there is little dr no prospect of
advancement here,- and that “Noth
Kaliny” is a good State to move
f(om? It seems to me that the an
swer to this question presents a sub
ject worthy of ’greater consideration
than itdias ever received, and one
which demands frank and fearless
treatment at the hands of those who
discuss it. »
" 1st. The people of North Caroli
na, as a community, are lacking ih
self respect, (1 do not say State
pride,for that term may be abused
or misappljqdl' I nse 1 the^pbrase
that exactly conveys my mean
ing) ' - •
The best possible evidence of the
troth'of-this assertion lies in the no
torious fact that the State has com
manded and received less respect
and consideration from the General
Government, and from her sister
States, than any other—certainly
less thou any of the original thirteen,
Why? A more-kindly, hospitable,
generous, self-sacrificing people—a
bitter people in the 'right sense of
the word—do not, in my judgment
in habit theearth; but they inake no
iign. They have never even cluimed
that which was their own. Their
State seal would have perfectly re
presented their civilization, if beneath
the two women—one of whom is sit
ting down, and the other leaning on
k cornucopia and pointing to a be-,
talmed sailboat—there had been in
icribed the words “Lainex Fuire''
STo well informed and candid person
vill deny this. _ : ^
' But this carelessness and indiffer
ence to our reputation as acommun
ty, which has resulted in our being
ssispcHad-to see the most honorahl e
‘acts in our history ignored, or denied ,
rnd discredited, and our State refer- .
that is absolutely without memorials,
is not the sole peculiarity that has
served as an: obstruction to develop
ment aud progress. ^
We are, and always have been, "a
house divided against itself." Local
prejudices and jealousies almost uni
versolly prevail, anil- united effort, for
the advancement’ of the common;
weal has rarely occurred in our civil
history!. There haw been no sys
tematic legislation upon ' the ques
tions of most vital! importance to,
the people, and the fear of conced
ing undine:prominence to> any one,
loCality has " always been a marked
feature of onr industrial, commer
cial, mid political life. One of thfe
best illustrations of this, may be
found in. the 'history of “internal
improvements"' in; the Stole. In
many of our ideas and' practices We
are narrow and provincial, but. at
the same time,, much given to the
habit of preferring foreigh products!
whether of brain or brawn, to our
own. Taken individually we are
.apt to be intensely loyal North Car
olinans; taken collectively we ex
hibit no such spirit. So firm is our
belief in the principle of equality
among, men that ,we incline to re
gard the display of unusual capacity
or ambition as a rather unfair sort'
of thing, which is not to -be . en
couraged; but if it will as°ert itself,
and in a way to reflect credit on the
community it is tolerated,-and even
applauded, but it constitutes no pe
culiar claim to consideration. Wfe
do not regard the fact that we are
“behmd the age”, as" '% matter
of reproach at all; on the contrary,
! we felicitate ourselves on the tran
quility of Our- surroundings. We
boast of only one thing, namely
our modesty, but of that we are very
proud, and are content to- offer it as
a sufficient answer - to any unfavor
able criticism upon oorselve or our
cevillration. :We really luxurate
as a .people, in the virtue of self-ab
negation. . _
Now, this sereue condition of af
fairs, unreasonable as discontent
with it may appear to be, ’ has not
that attractiveness for a young man
of ordinary ambition that it seems
to have had for his father, and he
grows restive under it. He prefers,
a more disturbed atmosphere and
.naturally seeks it. He generally
meets with success, to the great
astonishment of those he -has -left'
behind him, who will tell you that
he was not regarded as a remarkable
young man at-home, and that there
is a plenty of equally . aide young
men here,without (apparently) ever
having asked themselvs why these
able young men at' home do not
achieve as great success.
When the people of North Caro
lina fully rtalize this difference of
environment and apply the remedy
there wilt'oe less emigration of the
best brains from our Stdte, but not
Until then.
I have merely touched this subject
in the foregoing paragraphs, hut it
seems to me to be one eminently do
serving of the careful consideration
of all who love North Carolina, and
desire earnestly to promote her wel
fare, A North Caroixniah,
Old Cuinp Sherman was so mad
because; the South Carolina soldiers

been the paster-of the First church

“A Miserable Appearance.”

mary of the reports of the ahny offi

certain number of army officers were
detailed to make observations of the
militia of the parade, the object be
ing to get in official shape a report
of the standing of the State troops.
These officers were stationed at dif
ferent points along the ronte of the
procession, and were ill' citizens’
