which Hill was ciinvictcil was ritilil . thin
the ocfnsion for its vigorous cnhircciucnt

brutality about this special aft which
has few parallels in such utl'cnccs; there
was a violation of the confulfiicc im

which stamped Hell as. 'Milan with whom
no dealings could thereafter be had; a
man who had wilfully and wickollv
thrust himself I icy i mil the pa If of huuiaui

cy. It occurs to us that the evidence in
trodiiccd on the trial establised a 'iiilt
of peculiar blackness; and there was
HCiicral sentiment that the verdict and
the senti 'ice were fniiufiitly just. What
after-evidence (.lint has come to liht

so far as we know, of siucsthu.' the
mental irresponsibility of the affiiscd. In
that fasf, and in that only, does it a
pf.'ir to us that clemency is judiciously in
tcrposcd.
Wf do not understand how or why il
is that in criminal cases, after Jiufu'c
Solicitor and jury, after careful hearing
ami siftiuo of evidence and wciyhint; o
arguments, have reached the momentous
conclusion of 'nilt, they should start
back with .-1 llrili t, as it were, al what
they had done, and make haste to recede
and rescue the victim, as they now
construe him to be, from the fate t
which they had solemnly consigned him.
as if they had done awful wron. They
have no riht so to trillc with those
rave responsibilities, If they wcrcriyht
in the first instance they should bravely
stand to their conclusions. It is not
they, as individuals, who have done it
but the sworn othcers ot the law; it is
not their caprice nor their passion, theii
hate or their prejudice that solves the
ipiestioti of uill or innocence. It is tin
law and the evidence, and they stand rc-
licved of tiei-sniial responsibility when
thfy obt-y its mandates. If the laws be
wrniiH. if I hey be harsh, cruel, unjust, rc
iealj them. While they stand, execute
them. This facile yielding to every wail
of sympathy, to every sucstion of ten
derness is what makes the rifjid cxcfii
tion of the law so distrusted, and makes
apK-aI to mob law so ready and t're-
ipient. Law is a terrorto evildoers only
when it is cnlorccd with certainty. Its
uncertain cnforfcnifiit argues that so
ciety has no rights to be protected; and
that all the machinery of law is to be
used only for the protection of thosewho
assail those rights. When such comes to
be understood as rccopiutcd distinction,
then society, when outraged, will take
the law into its own hands. It will be
justified in so doinj;, lieeause all other re
course is denied it.
HRAiNAttK i-' mi u ihi:i:k.
The last Ilcndcrsonville Times says:
"Work on the Mud creek canal has
la-en delayed by the heavy rains for over
a week. It will licpn as soon as the wa
ters subside sutlicicntly lor the hands to
U into the swamp, liveryboily on the
creek has "conic in" and will do the
work, thereby obviating the necessity of
an assessment. The commissioners de
serve the thanks of all for the very effi
cient and impartial manner in which
tliev have located thcroutc. When these
lauds shall have been drained thev will
lie the richest, not onlv in this section
but the entire Slate."
We notice it lieeause the work to lie
done interests not merely Henderson
county, but affects beneficially the finan
cial condition of the whole State by the
additions to lie made both bv State and
county revenue. The area to be brought
into cultivation is lietweeu 1 .1,1 Mil I and
UD, 11(1(1 acres of land cxiilieranlly rich, cs
liccially productive in corn and grasses.
Mr. Darker, who lives on the south side
of the creek, opposite Ilcndcrsonville, has
proved its value, his corn crops standing
as thick and luxuriant on the tracts he
hnsililclieil and drained as if they grew on
the Mississippi bottoms.
The existence of a broad creek Imttoni
reiuiriiiK the work of laborious and
costly drainage npiicnrs to lie an anoni
aiy in tue mountains, ami is imiecd a re
markable one. Mud creek, rising a few
miles west of Hendersonville, in a range
of mountains jutting out from the Blue
Kidge towards the north with an exten
sion of eight or ten miles, first flows cast
parallel with, and a very few feet liclow
the summit level of the Illuc Kidge, which
is along here much depressed 2,2"i) feet
nnd with very little cost, might Ik
drained over the mountains into the val
ley of Hungry river. Hut the barrier is
high enough to divert the course of the
stream northward, in which direction it
flows for a few miles, when it again turns
westward, and falls, after a course of
about twenty miles, into the French
Broad only six or eight miles below its
source. Throughout its whole length,
with the exception of the upper tributary
branches, it flows through a flat swamp
of front SIM) to I, Mi) yards in width,
resembling, except in its vegetation, the
swamps of the eastern counties, nunc
more so than LuiiiIht river in Richmond
and KoIhsoii counties. The growth is
water oak, red birch, maple pine, and a
thick tangle ol brainhle, graic vines and
cane. A strongclcarcuncnt of from thirty
to fifty feet wide passes through it, cut
ting out of the bank in high water, form
ing numerous thoroughfares and mud
lagoons, hid in the summer with the pond
lily. The soil is very rich from source to
mouth. There is not a particle of mias
ma, and one may enjoy as pure anil
healthful ail close alongside this swamp
as on the top of I'isgah. Neither arc
there any mosipiilos.
Thecllcct of reclamation now going on
will lie to add a large bodyof arablclauil
to the area of cultivation, every inch ol
which, except that taken up by the cur
rent, can be put to use. livery acre will
produce, with ordinary skill inciiltuiv.nl
least fifty bushels of corn, ur three Ions
of grass. And the opcrationo!" drainage,
owing to the greater fall ol water ran lie
effected with much less difficulty ami
greater completeness than nllcmls the
drainage of the swamp lands in the east
ern counties. We regard this aslhcinosl
important work vet undertaken in this
section except that of railroad construc
tion, I HAXKI.IX .4X11 IIKVSON I'lTV.
The Swain Count v Herald gives an ac
count of a railroad meeting held recfulb
in liryson City to consider the feasibility
of making railroad connection bclwrrn
t he towns above named. It is a subiffl
wi ll worth considering, well worth push
ing to completion; and both Macon and
Swain count ies should exert their ctlorls
to effect it; the fust county more
lively than the last, lor Swain has facili
ties already, while Macon is lucl-cil up
wilhout outlet.
Among the projects '.-onsiilcrcd was
that of an electrical road. That is by
no means a fanciful or chiniercial project;
lor the day perhaps is noi far disianl
when electricity will lie a universal mo
live power for railroads. Hut in this
.-asc il is premature, besides being ton
costly for the means ofilic projectors.
Such road would be isolated Iroui all
others, dependent upon iis own machin
ery and rolling stock; whereas, it should
be the object of the builders to make it a
link in a chain capable of indefinite c
ensiou.iu that case making use ol the
notice power ami rolling slock of the
roads with which il first becomes con-
icctcd.
More than fifty years ago the Malum
lap road, beginning in ('.corgia and run
ning across Norlli Carolina through the
ounlies ol Macon and Swain on its way
o Cincinnati was begun, and much
osily work done in ('.corgia. Then it
slopped, and no subsequent effort has
.-vcr sueeceedcil in galva 'iing it into ac
:ion. "1'wo rival companies hold eliar
lers over the route. Whether they arc
iilaying a dog in the manger policy oi
not we cannot tell. Hut the franchise is
too valuable to lie unused, and Macon
county has too much at slake to sutler
ucb condition without effort lochange
il. Macon cannot afford lo stand still
.chile all around is lifeaud progress. Ma
con with larger resources than any of
licm, with an earlier and a better start,
aniiiit act the sluggard wilhout fatal
niiury lo herself.
Wcarc sure there are men in Macon
ible and willing lo "lead the way out ol
the wilderness. Mr.Cieo. A. Jones thinks
here will be no difficulty in securing
HMi, lino in Macon by the issue of
bonds, we suppose; and we arc sure lit
is right. Now Id somct bing he under
taken hi earnest. The following sugges
ion, in the line of action made in the
nccling, has good sense in it:
"Il was also suggested that lorrrs-
pondence be okiiciI with the K. M- ).
leople anil sec il thev would lake hold ol
'he line provided the counties would
bond themselves for the above amount."

ONE YEAR AGO.
The finest and best equip

olina was opened in Asheville
by T. C. Smith & Co.-After
eighteen years of prosperity
in the wholesale and retail

thev sold out and moved to
Asheville, where they secured
the best and handsomest
storeroom in thecity litted

appliances and conveniences
possessed by other modern

Their success demonstrates
what Asheville will do, for
those who come here with
"the know how." Prescrip

have poured into this New
Drug Store until necessity
compels t he employment of a
