We Jepreca,te the practice that is .too common of magnifying every little difficult down South into the semblance of a race war. The press is largely to blame for creating an impression North and elsewhere that conflicts here and there be tween white men and negroesjnust needs involve the serious question of a race antagonism. It does not fol low that because a white man hits a' negro, or a negro hits a white man, the question of race necessarily comes in. People will fall out and jQgh t w hite with white and negro with negro and sometimes, unfor tunately, the conditions are rever sible and it is white man with ne gro therj at once it is heralded forth as evidence that a race war is Imminent in the locality where 'it happens. The newspaper man wants news and the more startling, he can dish up, why, so much the better for his paper as a medium of news. Ihe prejudiced organ of the North takes jt up with glee and at once, while increasing its capital as a newspa per, it is used as precious grist in the outrage mill for feeding the stomachs of its South-hating read ers. There is no denial that out breaks have occurred betwixt the races as such, or results have assum ed that shape, but nine out'of ten cases doubtless might have been traced to whiskey as the origin Eliminate the whiskey element and we doubt if any amount of provoca tion on either side would have led to such bloodshed as we have read of as happening out West. The races here South know each other they are equally forbearing one towards the other when uninfluenced by cir cumstances, especially of the whis key manufacture. There is no anti race feeling indulged on either side, ,ike the anti-Chinese feeling on the Pacific coast, or the antj-semitjc jeeling in foreign countries. The Southern people entertain none but kindly feelings for the ne groee, and they as a class are natu rally peaceable and peace-loving, confiding and generous by nature, 'nd wo have no fears but that the two races, it strictly let alone, will solve satisfactorily all problem! be tween themselves. Woe to that man, or set of men, that would designedly touch off a match that might pre cinitate a conflict where no cause i i can legitimately exist. If every little neighborhood spat in which a white man and negro become in vol ved, growing perhaps out of one of a thousand things that would just as readily have caused a scrim mage betwixt two of a . color, is to be so magnified as to give it the ap pearance of a race conflict, then we shall not .wonder that the North continues to regard the South as a fiest of fiendish butchers, having no respect for a negro's life, and await ing' only the opportunity for extir- minating his whole race. "Offences must needs come, but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh." So, we conclude, individual difficul tie&vinust happen from time to time between the opposite races, just as such will occur each betwixt them selves, but we pity him who would fleliberatelr plan or encourage conflict between a white and black man in the spirit of face antagonism and greater is our commiseration o r - - o . him who would, by impruden speech or conduct, fan a flame that might lead to a general massacre on either side of unoffending and irino cent people. To avoid even the semblance of sdch a war, we shal ever invoke the spirit of a mutual moderation and forbearance, and pray that the great destroyer ; ol both these virtues-fwhiskey may be speedily banished froth 'Our villages' and towns.

THE MORGANTON LYN( The lynching of Frank Stack at Mprganton, N. C, on tbe 11th inst. has aroused great indignation in Union county, and the press of the State is strong in condemnation' of the outrage. The assassination of Parker was a dastardly, cowardly murder, the perpetrator of which deserved the fate that was meted out to Frank Stack ; but it is by no means certain that Stack committed the crime. It is true that he had" a motive for killing Parker, in the fact that Parker killed his brother some ten years ago; and it is said that Stack at that time made a vow that he would kill the slayer of his broth er. But Stack was in jail, under the custody of the law, and protested his innocence to the last His friends claim that his innoeence could easi ly have been established. These are the circumstances under. which the young man- was taken from prison by a masked mob and hustled into eternity. A largely attended indignation meeting was held in Monroe, Union county, last week at which a series of resolutions was adopted, expres sive of the feelings of that commun itv. The resolutions set forth that Stack was "an honest, hardworking, peaceable citizen" and a "man whose life and character was without spot or blemish." But whatever the character of Stack, the lynching is to be deplored and should be con demned by all law-abiding citizens. Mob law (?) is becoming quite too frequent in our State, and if officers of the law and grand juries continue to wink at these outrages it will not be many years until law and order will be overthrown and mobs will undertake the entire administration of justice. There is much truth in what the Statesville Landmark says "But how often, anyhow, can i gang of lawless midnight marauders be given any credit for any good motive for their lawless deeds? Real y good men have been known some times to constitute lynching parties, tho nrnnt hjmcr r par and thf n orcrro - vation great; and nobody protests i s ----- so when lvnch law lavs hold on the perpetrator of that highest of all crimes, tne crime against woman. But it can safe! v be said to be the rule that those who mask their faces and go by night to execute ven- eeance upon criminals are themselves known as law-breakers and a dan- gerous or at least suspicious element , . ... 1 themselves up to administer the law is but the manipulation of a pro- pensity to do lawless deeds. The remedy lies in the strict ad- 1 ministration of justice through the channels of the law. Theie is scarce ly a term of the Superior Court in any county that some one is not tried for some crime or misdemean or and acquitted, while public sen timent declares him guilty ; and it is too often the case that the guilty do escape. It is no uncommon thing, when even a heinous crime is com mitted, to hear people say of the perpetrator: "Oh, he'll come out all right if he's tried before Judge So and-So, and Lawyer Blank can get ihe right sort of a jury " When these "nM .r f in;.." . 5rw,4 nt 1 IK It L ill M I L UI til I I)n a.

It may be said when nies niiui lever is over, tne sirr.- mon-laden breezes of North Carolina will sing their requiem day by day per the bones of those they left "back yonder," but alas, "not for Joe."

They de sire no substitute for Sambo as a cotton or corn field laborer, tbe sphere which the vast majority are destined to fill wherever they go. The farmers of this country would not voluntarily exchange the thrifty black man or woman for any other class of labor on earth ; but it seems this question of an absolute scarcity of labor will have to be met, and that soon, on account of the exodus, by importing labor of some sort and from some where. The condition will be embarrassing and unsettled at first, but in the end we believe it will be to the ad vantage of the whole South, both commercially and agri culturally, that an entirely new class of laborers in shop and field, has been substituted. For the ne gro's own good, we would say, stay in this country, and, for the natural attachment our people have for him, we would so advise ; and to avoid present and immediately prospect ive embarrassment, particularly in farming affairs, we would persuade him to stav among us. cut, once for all, he may as well understand that Use people of North Carolina can get along without him even better than with him, in the long run.

Wilmington Messenger. The Republicans in North Caro lina are still complaining about most of the Federal appointments. They might just as well let every thing pass. The President has de livered himself up to men who want control of the offices, and as far as the Republican party South is con cerned it, has no recognition from the President, and he will not take the pains to learn anything about it. He has been captured by people who will use him for all he is worth.

The coroner 8 jury in tne Morns case, which has held the town in a state of highly wrought excitement since the death of the deceased, rendered their verdict to-day, after a long and laborious examination of the wit nesses and the attendant circum stances. The verdict rendered was that D. E. Morris came to his death bv the use of chloroform ad minis tered by his wife Cora Scales Morris. She has been arrested and is in the hauds of the sheriff. Although the result ol the investigation was gen- erallv anticipated the final decision of the jury has caused the most in tense excitement. E3 Showed His Crood Sense.
