The most rcnmrkiililc trial, in som rtsH?cts, that ever took place ill North Carolina, has just comlnil-.'d ill K;iln),'liljy the conviction of the prisoner, anil the Konian Catholic priest Hoyle has been sentenced to ljc cxeeiiteil on the 2!lth (lav of November next, for the violation of the )icisiii of Miss Cicncv. Whitaker, in June last. Ministers of the Cuspd ilo not always prove themselves superior to human liriuities; they do not always prove themselves, in contending with human passions and vices, suerior to those they offer to lead anil mmW in the paths of virtue; thev are sometimes themselves in need of the charity they arc so harshly apt to deny to others. Hut it never has happened before in this Stale, nor else where that the public has been made aware that weakness has degenerated into crime, or that passion has ever been indulged at the cost ol 'violence. The sanctity of the ollice afjKravatcs the gravity of the ollcnccand condemna tion is more merciless because by whom so much was assumed in accepting the charge of functions sacred like those ol the ministry or priesthood, much was cxiecled of purity and self restrain. Vhe leader and nuide must be so much the better than the thick he leads as to safely and unerringly lead. The Hock has the riht to demand this immaculate puri ty, this superiority to human weakness, because the attitude of the jruidc is the standard for the movement of the flock. Hut all falling is not criminal, and all lapses arc not irretrievable. It is just and more than just, that in pronouncing judgment upon him who falls, even from the most conspicuous height, that he who judges should measure thcunfortuu ate by his own standard, and given rea sonable indulgence to the weakness by which he himself may lie tempted, and fall. It is rare in church history that theder gy have made themselves obnoxious to the civil criminal law. The sincerity of their purpose has been demonstrated by their suiierioritv to the temptations to the commission of crimes under the statute or common law. The execution of I r. ImmIiI in Knglund in the last ccnturv lor forgery stands out in bold relief ngains the background of nil almost unbroken record of clerical integrity. Lapses from moral purity are unhappily not so excej tional. lint it is left to liovlc to oiler the first instance in modern ecclesiastical his tory of a guiltiness subjecting the ierpe tor to capital punishment. His case may not be cited as example to others. His was crime soatrociousa to find no new imitations, becauscil is an otTenec that finds no mercy ; as it stand alone in clerical annals, without prcce dent, so it may go down to posterity without successor. It will lie neither j;uide or warning because such are not needed, lint it has this lesson, which might be heeded in the dealing with other capital otfeuccs under our statutes, that with such crime the law is no rcsiiecter of ktsoiis, and that it metes out its pen alties with equal hand. The priestly robe has no more protecting sanctity than the tattered rags of the tramp. Another lesson, at this time of needful weight, is that the law may be trusted to do its duty. The crime of liovlc was such as to have exasjierated the public anger to a stale of frenzy. Summary pop ular punishment was urged as the proper method ot dealing with it. Hut a delib erate and impartial trial was jwrmilted to decide the issue; the defence had the benefit of zealous and able counsel, of fair and intelligent jury, and of a merciful and impartial judge. And is he begttiltv if he be condemned to pay the extreme penalty of the law.it is because, upon calm investigation of the facts, he was unmistakably proven guilty, and will righteously have to abide by the decision of the tribunal to which he apjKalcd for the decisions of the questions of gnilt or innocence. Without going into any details of the evidence in the Hoyle case, we only men tion that Solicitor Argo was ably aided in the prosecution by Mr. T. I'. Devercux and Mr. Armistead Jones, and that the defence was ably and eloquently sustained by Mr. Thomas C. Fuller, Mr. R. H. Bat tle and Mr. George II. Snow, gentleman of exceptional ability and in this remark able case, surpassing themselves, if possi ble, in their manifestation of ability. We take from the News-Observer of Sunday morning the following closing proceed ings: Solicitor Argo concluded at (1.45 o clock. His peroration was clonuent and powerful and held the attention of the crowded court room riveted. Judge Armtield immediately charged the jury. He charged that they should throw aside the fact that the" prisoner was a Catholic and that they should not allow their verdict to be governed by the fact that he had been guilty of a moral wrong. The question to determine upon was the consent of the woman. If she consented in any degree there would be no rape. Fear of personal injury was equivalent to force in the perpetration of this crime. He then proceeded to read the evidence bearing on the question of onsent. The jury took the case at 8.30 o'clock and retired. No verdict was rendered till 1 1.45 when the jury came into court and gave a verdict of guilty. Before the sentence was announced the prisoner was permitted to address the CJUTt. He arose and in a few words bitterly 1 denounced Messrs. Junes and Itevereux of counsel tor the proseetitio:!. He was iierfectlv cool and there was not a tremor 1 i u.. -i:.i . i. i. . ..r in Ills voice, lie mil nut uaiv tut nn.iv m the court, but contented himself by re ferring to the methods of the prosecution, He alluded to playing cards at tlie jail and said he always cxjiceted to do so when he felt like it. Hoyle wan applauded several times during his remarks. In referring to Solicitor Argo he said that he had been perfectly fair during the trial. SKSTKNCKII TO UK IIANOHI). After he had taken his seat Judge Arin lield sentenced him to lie hanged Novem lier !!!. An apcal to the Supreme court was asked and granted. The coolness of the condemned man was remarkable. Immediately after the sentence had Iktii pronounced he -turned and spoke to his counsel and smiled. The sugar trust is one of those mon strosities of monopoly, the weight of whose heavy hand has liccn felt in every sugar dish and preserve kettle in the -o mi try, It is not many years since raw sugars were so abundant that they were used as a cheap fertilizer in Hngland. And though in some years untimely hur ricanes curtailed production, the area ol .ultivation was continually enlarging, tnd the process of refining increasing, so that at last we were all getting the best sugars at prices not to be complained of. Then came the trusts and combines; and then sugar went up nearly n hundred per cut, and cverbody complained. W 'uiow of late that the sugar trust has been in trouble, and that its shares have Icclined greatly in selling value; and as .onlirmation, we are glad to quote the following from the Philadelphia Record; It is ordained that the tallest tree can not grow to the heavens. For the most formidable numoiiolv that was ever or- 'anized so defy the laws of trade and ilesnoil the people there comes sooner or ;ater a day of reckoning. The career of the sugar trust promises to be as brief mil inglorious as was that ot its late nodel, the coppersyndicate. Should anv il' the conspirators who organized this minopoly lie caught in the meshes o! their own net there would be little sym pathy in the public breast for their fate. I'lie confiding people who have put their lioncy in sugar trust certiticates, in the esire ol realizing enormous prolits, can- lot complain that they have not had iinplc warning concerning the financial baracter of the investment. IHIM.lti: IKKCRIlTIOiH. Ir. C.corgc Graham, of Charlotte, who lias just returned home alter an extended tour through California, tells the Char lotte Chronicle many interesting things ibout what he saw and experienced ; imong other things, the following: Iir. Graham says he was suffering from i cold and stepped into a Chinese store in San Francisco and with the assistance if an interpreter asked for a remedy. The Chimewcighed out anil give him the following prescription which fie brought home with him ' Five shells of locusts, two large cockroaches, seeds of Chinese wood, different sorts of bark from Chinese trees, one Chinese lizard, dried and put on a little frame something the shape of a kite. T hese were to be boiled .mil tuadea tea of.which was to be taken at stated intervals. The Chinese will not use anything at all that the white man uses. They send toChina for every thing they eat and wear. This last paragraph would seem to justify many of theharsh measures taken against the Chinese. A jieoplc who can not assimilate with ours even in matters involving the common necessaries of life, but who hold on to the country of their birth with the tenacity of cxclusiveness, never can become American citizens so as Lo make them useful or desirable as such. Here and there nryi'lew exceptions. WHtl.Ds, "The New York Sun reports that pas sengers on the steamship Algiers, from Galveston, Tex., were treated JIast Sun day afternoon to a nautical spectaclenot usually observed by coast-skirting trav ellers. About fifty miles oil Ilatteras the ship took them through a big school of frolicsome soerni whales, which sent one hundred fountains in the fair just before the rush of the ship drove them below the surface." This is not far from the point on the North Carolina coast where whaling is pursued as a business. Every year from one to ten whales are caught by the whale fishermen, under Cape Lookout, who have their boats, harpoousorgrains, trying out apparatus and all the para phernalia of "shore fishing." A lookout is constantly kept, and every now and then the reward is in a large whale. This animal lives in cold water, and it is sur- prisihg to find them on our coast so near the warm gulf stream. We have been informed that there is an inshore arctic current sitting into the bight un der Lookout and down towards the Fry ing 1'an shoals; and into this basin of eold water the whales are tempted by the quantity ot the peculiar food on which they live, and which they find there abundantly. Washington City seems to have ticen surprised out of its proprieties by the phenomenal gentility of the Good Tem plar visitors. It has Iteeome accustomed to the rush, the hurry, the rapacity, the bad manners of the political gangs that overwhelm Washington when anything is to 1 gotten by push, and when mod esty and good manners are as much at a discount as in the purlieus of White- chapel. Wc are glad to find there are Americans to prove that good manners survive somewhere.
