THE STANDARD. FRIDAY, August 2, 1SS9. Jas. P. Cook, Editors and B. E. Harris, J Proprietors. STANDARD NOTES. Gen. Robert Vance seems to be coming to the front again. The Rads of his district seem to be Tery much disturbed as to the intentions of that popular old gentleman. Chicago must be a rotten citj morally. A divorce can be had is that city almost for the asking. At one time it was required that the woman must be a resident of the city, but recently a divorce was granted to a woman living at a dis tance. It is now denied that Mrs. Ilattie Ilorron, ;i missionary to Corea, is unuVr sentence of death for preach in,' Christianity in that country. She would be under consular protection, so that the emperor of that little country would hardly dare to put her to death. Col. Julian Allen, of Statesville, has found a number of Poles in Baltimore who are willing to come to this State, and he is anxious to have them come. We are somewhat in doubt as . to whether we want any Poles or not. Some of those people from central Europe are of such devilish views and habits that we do not want them. Are the Poles "0. K." r The State Alliance is to meet at Fayette ville August 12th, and will continue in session several days. The papers generally over the State have not been very forward in suggesting officers for the next State Alliance since one or two papers (with per haps an axe to grind) were consider ate enough to suggest their candi date for the presidency, and were told by the Alliance " to mind your own business." A NEEDED CHANGE. Old and well-established customs, that have the sanction of centuries, are very hard to eradicate even when experience clearly shows them to be no longer proper. It has been the custom among English peoples for long years to require for conviction or acquittal a unanimous verdict by the jury of twelve. This has come to be almost an axiom in legal proce dures, so that although there is among thinking people a sentiment of dissatisfaction with it, it will doubtless be many years before any change will be made allowing a ver dict to be rendered by a majority of o jury. If it were always possible for a jury to be honestly and conscien tiously agreed on the verdict, then unanimity would be a good thing to insist upon. But is this the case ? In most juries it happens where there is a division of sentiment that the majority by argument, ridicule, or any other means that may be used, bring the minority over to their iew of the case. Sometimes, after wrangling a good while over a ver dict, the weaker Bide will come over to the stronger just to prevent the jury from being " hung." It occa sionally , happens that one strong minded man can influence his fellow jurymen to decide in accordance with his views. Then occasionally there can be found on a jury one of those chronic kickers who always manage to get on . the opposite side of every question, and who maintain their opinions with mulish stubbornness. Such cranksided people on such oc casions are exceedingly in the Way, yet there is no remedy for it,' as the law gives equal weight to his opin ion as to that of his eleven colleagues combined. All of these difficulties could be easily remedied by requiring a ma jority verdict by juries. The ma jority necessary to a verdict might be different for different offenses, ranging from a bare majority in trivial cases to nine-tenths, or even eleven, in capital cases. This plan would accomplish the same result, for the majority practically rule any way, and would save a great deal of time and trouble. It will jsrobably be reserved for the newer States to inaugurate this reform, as they take to innovations more readily than older States. An effort is being made to have it incor porated in the constitution to be adopted in Montana, and it is to be hoped that it will be done, and that experience will demonstrate the wis dom of such a policy. A COSTLY PRIVILEGE. We heard recently of a town not a hundred miles from here, and not as large as Concord, where the revenue derived from licensed bar-rooms amounted to $3,200 per annum. The rcusou given for allowing so many bar-rooms in. that place was that the revenues derived from them were so considerable and tended to reduce taxation. And yet the fact of it is that the rate of taxation; ia w high in that county as it is here, where we allow no bar-rooms. It can easily be seen that this is a specious reason inr,for while the revenues from this source may be great the county is taxed more heavily to support a crowded jail, whose inmates are brought to that place by drunken rowdyism into which they are led by drinking whiskey bought so conven iently at licensed bar-rooms. In trying these offenders the county and State incurs further expense, so that what is gained in one way is entirely lost in another. But even if it were true that licensed whiskey traffic is an economic source of revenue, there arc other considerations which go to prove very clearly that it is a very injudi cious measure. "While it is claimed by its supporters that it increases largely the school fund, they over look the fact that no other influence tends so powerfully to undermine the good effects of education as pub lic bar-rooms. There is perhaps no agency so potent in lowering the moral status of a people and encour aging improvidence and poverty as the existence of bar-rooms in a town or city. The people of Concord and Ca barrus are to be congratulated on the firm stand they have taken on thi3 question. Our Exchange Kpeak. Durham Sun: An old, tight-fisted nickel grabber never adds anything to his town nor to the welfare and good of the people in it. E. City Economist: Hugh Cale and N. R. Newby, colored, of this town, have been appointed to gov ernment positions in Washington. Neither of them, as far as known, is related to Mr. Harrison. : "Why cannot people differ as to the guilt or innocence- of men without presuming to have a monopoly of all sense and honesty, and relegating those that differ to that class who are both foolish and corrupt? En tertain your own opinion in charity. While we pity an Agnostic we would make him happy forever and save his soul. "Wilmington Messenger Consistency i3 sometimes a jewel. The consistency which forbids a wise man to change his opinions under any circumstances was smashed years ago, and nobody wishes to re construct the idol. But that incon sistency which blows hot today and cold tomorrow and changes about every two days in the week, is weak ness, and not freedom of thought. Charlotte Chronicle. Dr. Jas. M. Caldwell, assistant physician in the insane asylum, Co lumbia, S. C, assures us that it is not customary in that institution for the superintendent and physi cians to kiss lady visitors, attendants and patient6 ; nor do they find it nec essary to stand on the patients' heads, place their feet on their necks or choke them, in order to bring about the best results in restoring a sound mind. Gastonia Gazette. If there is one habit more abomin able than another, a habit which makes unloving wives, careless moth ers and slovenly housekeepers : a habit which is a foe to neatness, to physical industry and to mental ac tivity; a habit which, if anything could, would excuse a man for the too free use of intoxicants, in order that his own breath might be as foul as that of his consort, it is thi3 habit of snuff dipping, to which so many women,'and especially those of North Carolina, are unhappily addicted. Orphan's Friend. The Confederate soldier who fought so nobly for the Lost Cause still lingers and struggles in a war fare against poverty. No pensions or pawns of victory await those who wore the gray and added to the splen dor of American heroism. Thev j hold here and there sad reunions and recount the deeds of.. the late war. The Cleveland county veter ans will assemble at Shelby on the first day of August and listen to an address from Col. W. II. H. Cowles. Young they then marched to the battle; grey-headed, with here and there an absent arm or leg lost on the battle-field, they march now in bro ken ranks, while they drop a tear to the memory of their dead comrades. Shelby Aurora. A vacoination mark of peculiar character aud location is now pro posed for use by surgeons of recruit ing stations as a means of identify mtr soldiers who desert. Jo sucn barbarous suggestion should be con sidered. Soldiers are not cattle. No human being should be branded under a civilized government. Even a criminal who has expiated his of fense should never be cut off from his fellows by any mark to prevent free competition In' the honest activ ities of life. Infinitely more horri. ble is the idea of degrading our sol diers by stamping them in advance as probable deserters, on the suppo sition that they are likely to aban don the colors they are swearing to defend. Under such a system only the most abandoned would enlist, and our army would be the scorn of our people instead of their pride. , N. Y.

It is reported that Chicago capi talists have organized a $2,500,000 company to develop the iron ore lands in the northwestern part of North Carolina. The Nashville Argonaut is not much for dogs, but tells of one in that section that worms tobacco very well, keeping his row up with the rest of the hands. According to the Vidette, Mr. A.

The Attorney-General having had his turn paying Mr. Harrison a visit at Deer Park, and having given the rumor of his appointment to the Supreme Court a fresh start, has returned, and Secretary Windom has gone up tp talk business to the President. He will remain several days, as his family are spending the summer there. The harmony among the Vir ginia Republicans does not seem to be so complete as it did. Several of the anti-Mahone people have been here " kicking " as hard as ever and intimating that it will be necessary to give them something nice in the shape of an office in order to make them as harmonious as Mr. Brady, who got a $4,500 position. It ia also said that Langston, the negro who is now a contestant for a seat in Congress from the Fourth Dis trict ("black belt"), threatens to make trouble unless he is well taken care of. On the whole the Demo crats here do not think there will be much trouble in their carrying the State as usual. This is a free country, and yet every now and then the law steps in, in some shape or other, as to give foreigners a somewhat queer idea of freedom. One of those cases has just been brought to light by a de cision of the Treasury Department that a book-keeper brought from England by an English firm, with a branch house in New York city, must be sent back to England, as his being brought over here under con tract was a violation of the Alien Labor law. It was Gen. Grant, I believe, who said that the quickest way to get an obnoxious law re pealed was to strictly enforce it. W. C. Elam, who was editor of the Richmond, (Va.) Whig a3 long as General Mahone put up the money to keep that paper going, has been appointed chief of a division in the Interior Department. A committee from St. Joseph, Missouri, brought Secretary Rusk a gorgeous invitation to uttend the "New Era Exposition " to be held in that city during a portion of September and October. As the exposition is to be held in honor of the establishment of the Department of Agriculture, the Secretary told the committee he would attend if possible. All sorts of rumors are current in regard to the startling discoveries being made by the commission now investigating the re-rating of pen sions by the pension office. The most of these rumors are un doubtedly based on the frightened talk of the implicated employes of the pension office, for the members of the commission are not likely to do any talking until their official report has been handed in to Secre tary Noble. It is generally believed that there has been a good deal of crookedness in this business aud that quite a large number of the employes of the office have been engaged in it, but whether they can be punished further than to be made to disgorge the money illegally ob tained is a question. The report of the commission is anxiously looked for here. The people want to know whether the facts are to be shown up or the white-wash brush applied. Commissioner Tanner now denies that he ever said he was opposed to the policy of paying $2, $3 and $4 per month pensions, and has ordered a big pension firm of New York and Chicago to stop sending out circular which quotes a newspaper interview wherein the commissioner is made to express those sentiments. The same thing was published here when Mr. Tanner first took office. The Civil Service law is getting some very hard knocks around Washington just now. Ex -Postmaster-General Frank Hatton, who is now the editor of the Washington Post, is leading the opposition, and the State Republican associations are doing all they can to assist him. Hatton charges that the law always has been and is now being juggled with by the appointing powers. He wants the law repealed, but pending that he would like to see it strictly enforced. The administration is having a lively time with the patronage in the South. Every appointment made raises a lot of " kickers." The fight for the control of the patron age in Louisania is red-hot between Representative Coleman and Herwig, the Louisana lottery man. It is to be settled at the convention which is to nominate a candidate for Con gress to run in the district of the late Representative Gay. Herwig and Coleman both have been candi dates, and the winner is to be re garded by the administration as the party boss in the State The papers have been signed awarding, the contract for the con struction of a coast defense vessel, to cost $700,000, to the Union Iron Works, of San Francisco. Mr. AV. O. Griffin, route agent be tween Raleigh and Keysville, has re signed aud his place has been filled by a negro. John Wanamaker, merchant, does not seem to have much influence with theqjrlcials of the Treasury Department, who have just rejected an appeal that he took from the decision of the collector of customs at Philadelphia as to the rate of duty to be paid on certain imported merchandise.
