To kjkm some ilea of the size and extent of territory of which the State of Texas is composed, it is only neces sary to say that the entire population of the United States might settle within its borders and then it would not be as much crowded as they are in many of the European countries. There is not much danger of not having plenty elbow room in these United States. The victory in Chicago was not al together a Republican one, it seems. GooJalVs Daily Sun says : To defeat the Anarchists, nearly every leading Democrat in the city voted for and talked up the Republican ticket. Hence the large majority, 28,241. Hence the defeat of the lunatics who insist that bank robbery is the only cure for hard times. For what the Democrats did in Chicago last Tues day, they are entitled to the grateful thanks of the entire Republic. Are you seeking a home? Then come to Henderson and Vance county. Our people hold out the hand of wel come and extend a cordial invitation to the thrifty, honest and industrious of all classes, North, East, South and West. We have a climate unexcelled for healthfulness; a soil that is gener ous, prolific and easily cultivated; ex cellent water in abundance; and citi zens that are peaceable, law-abiding and industrious among whom the stranger finds a cordial reception at all times. Business men and capitalists love an enterprising, go-ahead town, whose people are not afraid to spend money when ii becomes necessary for public improvements. Following close upon the election in Greensboro votincr ? 1 00,000 for such purposes, comes this from the Patriot of that place : "The election here on the 2Sth has lclt its 'foot prints upon the sands of time.' As a result a gentleman from Xorlolk after ascertaining the result writes us that he contemplates coming here with 50,000 capital to engage in business." The '-New South" boom has evi dently come to stay, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. During the first three months of 1SS7 the new enter prises incorporated in the . Southern States numbered close on 1,000, inde pendent ot no new railroad corpora tions and twenty-six street railroad companies. The capital represented by these new enterprises and corpora tions totals up to $S5, 000,000, a great deal more than double the aggregate Jor the corresponding period of 1SS6. Eastern and Northern capital is rapidly floating southward. The Painesville Democrat notes a singular coincidence in connection with some of the early Presidents. It says: It is rather singular to note that Jefferson was born just eight years after his predecessor, Adams; Madison eight years after Jefferson; Monroe eight years after Madison, and John Q. Adams eight years after Monroe. Another singular fact noted is that Adams was just sixty-six years old when he retired. Jefferson was sixty -six; Madison was sixty-six; Monroe was sixty-six; and had John Q. Adams Ailed a second term he would have re tired .at sixty-six. Adams, Jefferson and Monroe all died on the Fourth of July. Read nnd advertise in the Gold J EAE. LYNCH LAW MUST GO. The sense of justice, not to say hu manity of the country, is undoubtedly crystalizing in opposition to lynch law. While lynchings are still exceedingly frequent (considering the "wholesale lynching in South Carolina last week,") the recent investigations of grand juries and the prosecutions of persons accused of being concerned in summary and illegal executions, show the tendency of the times, and indicate that in the not very remote future 1nching will not be tolerated except, perhaps, in the most extreme cases, where from some cause the law cannot be relied on to take its due course. It would be wrong to say that the frequency with which lynch law has been resorted to in this country during the past few years indicates a disregard of the laws of the land, and a dispo sition to lightly estimate the sacred ness of human life. In nine lynchings out of every ten, probably, the lynch ers are ordinarily law respecting and peaceable citizens whose indignation is excited beyond bounds by some pe culiarly outrageous crimes, but who distrust the instruments of the law, and thus enter a tragical protest against its delays and the abuses too often at tendant upon its administration. It is true, however, that the people them selves are to blame principally for whatever inefficiency there may be in the courts in the matter of punishing and thereby preventing crime. If the people would at all times faithfully perform the duties required of them by law as jurors and conservators of peace and morality, and insist on the faith ful performance of such duties as are re quired of public officials, there would soon be no necessity or excuse for the illegal and summary execution of sup posed criminals, thus depriving them of a fair trial as guaranteed to them by the constitution. Of the hundreds of instances of lynching that occur in the country every year, there is a strong presump tion that many of the victims are in nocent. It is very seldom the case, probably, that sufficient precautions are taken to prevent the execution of possibly innocent persons. In fact, men whose minds are inflamed by the sight of the consequences of some ter rible outrage cannot be considered the proper persons to perform the offices of both courts and executioners. While there is no doubt that the better sentiment of the country is op posed to lynch law, it has not yet be come strong enough to secure the con viction of any of the persons accused of being lynchers. Whether in Wyo ming, or Washington Territory, or New Jersey, or Tennessee, or South Carolina, the condemnation of lynch ing is tempered by a kind of rude sense of justice that protects the par ties who resort to it. Actions so radi cally wrong, however, cannot much longer be excused on account of the motives and impulses which lead to them. Sooner or later it will doubt less be frequently the case that lynch ers will not only be indicted, but found guilty and punished. Perhaps even the death penalty of murder will in some peculiarly unjustifiable cases be administered. The pulpits and com mon schools, as well as the courts, must teach respect for and submission to the law, and then lynch law must soon follow the code duello into ob livion. MR. MACON TRIES TO EXPLAIN. The following is what Representa tive Macon says about the loss of the bill to amend the charter of the town of Henderson, of which the Gold Leaf spoke editorially at the time. Desiring to do injustice to no one we give him the benefit of its publication here, but must say it seems to us he has not yet entirely exhonorated him self from the charge of very gross care lessness in the matter to say the least. Louiseurg, N. C, April 6, '87. To the Louisburg Times : I see an article in your paper, copied from the Henderson Gold Leaf, in which the editor of that paper- does me great injustice as a me in lie r of the Legislature in regard to a bill to amend the charter of the town of Henderson. For the benefit of the Gold Leaf I will simply give the facts about the bill without comment. The facts are these: The bill was acted upon by the House committee, of which I was acting chairman; the bill had one majority in favor of its passage; the committee requested that I should report the bill to the House and give a minority report also. I put the paper in the desk, intending to report the next morning, but the same evening I was requested to go to Durham on business, intending to get back the next day time enough to re port bothihe bill and minority report, but after getting to Durham I found out that I had to go to Greensboro; so I did not get back to Raleigh until Sunday, and on Monday morning I examined the desk intending then if possible, to make the reports; but the papers were not in the desk. I cer tainly regret the loss of the papers. I would have in my remarks ta.' the Legislature done both of the Hender son parties ample justice and then left the matter to a vote of the House. From what I learned of some if the committee, and from what the Gold Leaf says about searching my desk in my absence, all that to my mind ac counts for the loss of the papers, anil perhaps the Lobbyists of Henderson are responsible for their own loss. They were the only interested party. I do not know who the searchers were, or whether the editor of the Gold Leaf was one. At all events he says a search was made. Now, Mr. Editor, if this statement is not satisfactory to the people of Henderson ar.d to the editor of the Gold Leaf, nothing that I can say will satisfy: I know that it . -i r .1 1 1 . . was tne design 01 me wnuie t-um- mittee, that the bill and the minority report should have an impartial hearing before the House. Yery Respectfully, N. H. Macon.
