JOVKSAJrOBSXBTXX, f THTJRSDAX, JUNE 21. 1883. NUMEROUS HOMICIDES. Homicides throughout the country are becoming so numerous that there seems to be something lacking in onr dally press dispatches if there is -not one or more announced. They are con- fined to no section, North, South, East and - West;. having 'Z their "full ;.shareJ! Various reasons hare been assigned for it. and great stress is laid upon the laxity in-the enfoscement of the laws, and of the difficulty in finding juries that . will punish that kind of crimes. This may be to some extent true, but a better reason, perhaps, is to be found in the prevalent custom of carrying deadly weapons, and in the too free indulgence in stimulating drinks, that inflame the passions and steal men's ; brains. ' A very , large, majority of the homicides that are committed ' are done on the . spur of the moment, in the heat of pas sion, and may be traced directly to this cause, while the smaller number show deliberation apd premeditated purpose, the slayers generally , having ; some grievance which they deem a just provo cation for the killing of the aggrieving party. It was customary in such cases to pat "la a plea of 'emotional insanity, but now that line of defence Is being abandoned;' and the plea of justifiable provocation put in in its place, as in the case of Congressman Thompson, of Kentucky.whd slew the alleged seducer of his wife, and who was acquitted, and young 'Nutt, "in Uniontown, Pa, who shot down Dukes, the slanderer of his sister and the slayer of hisfather.whose trial will shortly, take place. It is safe to say that young Nutt will not suffer, though. In the eyes of the law,hia killing of Dukes is as clear a case of deliberate murder as there Is on record, but he has with him the sympathy of the commu nity in; which he lives, and will have that of the jury before which he will be tried. -.rpCW.i. - : . : : j We ref er, to this subject not with a view, to moralizing upon it, for that would be useless, nor to institute any comparison between the sections of the country, for that would be profitless but . to say that, while the Northern press, as a rule, have caught at every crime perpetrated in . the South as an evidence of Southern lawlessness, and at any crime that; went unpunished as an evidence of the indisposition of the people to see justice administered, and made these the themes either of gross misrepresentation or of , long homilies, they will find upon reflection that hu man nature is pretty much the same North and South,that the man with the . pistol gets in his work irrespective of geographical lines,-and that there is ample field for their missionary labors within the confines of. their own broad vineyards, where the avenging bullet whizzes, and jurors let their sympathies override the lw.. , ; : . , - ; I . LNSCLTIStt WITNESSES. . ; In the trial in New York' last week of August Belmont against; the "editor of the Irish World for slander, the counsel for the editor recalled some insinuation in reference to the illegiti macy of Mr. Belmont's birth, and asked him if hewould swear that It was not true. Mr. Belmont, with much indig nation replied: Yes, you d--d rascal. I will swear to it." The court which permitted' an attorney to thus Insult' si witness thought it proper to rebuke the vigor of Mr. Belmont's reply, when the latter remarked that he regretted that in the presence of the court the insult offered 'him and the' outrage on the . memory of h& mother caused hini 16 make a reply that was rude but never-; thelesstrue. Mr. Belmont is among New' York's respected" and distinguish ed citizens, but it never occurred to the court to curb .the Insulting tongue of the lawyer who took advantage of his , position to revive an old slander against an honorable name. 4 1 V1 7 ' . . We refer to this because witnesses as a rule are not protected as. they should be by the ' courts from the attacks of lawyers who take advantage of their ' position to assail the character of wit nesses to break the force of their test! mon v. knowing that the witness . who if outside of court might resent it, in side is powerless to do so. We have known of, instances where, as In the case ot Mr. Belmont,' worthy and re spectable people were subjected to the rack and the torture by brutal lawyers who were simply playing the part of torturers because there was a case to win and a tee at stake:- All lawyers do not, of course, do this, and all courts do not permit it, but it is entirely too com mon. ; "v . ; ' . V . f : " : ' ' Witnesses have rights in courts, should be treated respectfully and not as criminals or dogs, and the Judge who sits on the bench and permits abuse is not in his proper place. The ninth annual meeting of the South Carolina Press Association: will : be held in Gaffney City July 8rd. uThe .Charleston News and -Courier says: ; "An invitation to meet with the North Carolina Press Association at Ashe vllle has been accepted, and it has been artftnired that after the Association ad journs the members and the ladles' ac companying them will go to Salisbury, North Carolina, and from that point across the mountains in daylight over tHa'WeiXern North ; Carolina Railroad. At Asheville the North Carcl.na Tress , Association will be met upon its arrival from waynesville, and a Joint excur sion will be made to Warm Springs. ' i - i-j-r ' m ?- v- r A New.

The New VC-'- Ti-3 !nTi'T to Izitiatarro W& H. Barnnm, pf Connecticut, Chairman of the National Democratic Executive Committee, in a recent in terview with a newspaper reporter on Gen. Butler's candidacy for the Presi dency, said: "Personally, I am not a very strong Butler man,; still the fact cannot be disguised that. he Is a very strong candidate. - Down in the New England States it is a foregone con clusion that Ben. Butler will be the next President of . the United States. His State , administration is popular among the people. He would carry all the New England States, except Ver mont and Bhode Island." : ' ; Wyoming, next to Texas, is probably the greatest stock growing region ' in the United States. It is said that about 1,000,000 cattle are now feeding on its plains, the estimated value of which Is about e30.000.000.' - : JAY GOULD'S FAMILY. : The Six Ckildrea oftke BUIloaaure u4 How They lave at Irrlngtoa. ; . Brooklra Xacle. ,. . There is a sreneral imDression that Jay Gould has only one son, because his wire never appears in society and his children are almost unknown. It nas got abroad that his son George is his solitary offspring. . But he has a large ana interesting ramuy. ills daughter Nellie, who christened his yacht. promises to be a beauty, and will be a great catch when she goes into society. She is a slim girl, neither light nor dark. witn , cnarnung manners ana studious habits. She has been under the charge of governesses all her life. There is a son, Edward, who is older than Nellie and younger than George. I imagine he must . be seventeen. ..lie is a shy, studious sort of a boy, well bred and respectful. He thinks of becoming a civil engineer ' ana nas tne same seir-con-tained manners of his father. Howard, who is fourteen years old. has been in delicate health for a long while. He knows nothing of books and his father keeps him in the open air at their beau tiful place at Irvington, Belle, who is in the neighborhood of , ten or twelve years, promises to be the beauty of the family.' She very much resembles Mrs Gould, who, at one time, was something of a beauty. The "baby" is Frank, i All the children are living at irving ton and Gould goes up there every night from his financial cares. It is said that he is a boy among his boys when he is at home. He drops all busi ness thought and goes into any sort of recreation that may be proponed with as much ardor as his youngest son. The grounds are secluded and the million aire can jump fences, turn hand-springs, go in swimming, indulge in A game of "one old cat" or play the cornet without anybody but his own family being the Wiser. ; ? .:: ': , , i .'- . Importamt Homestea Deciaioa. Greens boro Patriot. We have already printed ah abstract of the opinion of the Supreme Court in the case or AiDrignt vs AlDngnt, rrom Guilford. The case is an interesting one, and we advert to it again to show its importance ana general bearing. . it seems from the opiuion of the court that there were four judgments against David E Albright as surety, two recov ered and docketed on contracts since 1868. Geo B Albrixht owned the first two judgments by purchase, and one of the last judgments, the other lodgment being ownea- oy junasay ivirxman. Daniel Albright had his homestead al lotted by metes and bounds and his ber sonal property exemptions laid off to the amount of &500 valuation. - Kirkman and Geo Albright issued executions on the judgments, which were recovered on contracts made since 1863. and against which the homestead and personal exemptions are protected, and levied upon the excess.. Their car-. pose being to sli the excess above ex emptions under the new debts and sell the homestead under tne old j udgmenta. thus depriving Daniel Albright from his exemptions altogether. This suit was brought by Daniel Albright to have the priority of the judgments de clared, to sell the excess to the greatest advantage, and to enjoin Geo Albright and Kirkman from selling under the executions above Issued. There were some other complications not necessary to mention here. The case was argued at Chambers before Judge Gilmer, who refused to restrain Geo Albright and Kirkman from selling the real estate. but stopped the sale pf the personalty until a certain time. An. appeal was taken, and the Supreme Court says sub stantially that as long as there is' any homestead and exemptions Gaorge Al bright must exhaust such success be fore he can touch the homestead and personal property exemptions, and this Is so though some of his judgments are on contracts made before 1863. The oldest judgments being the first lien upon all the real estate in the hands of Daniel Albright, thev could not be dis E laced by junior A judgments. -1 That tan lei Albright is entitled to his home stead and exemptions if it is possible to maxe the excess pay tne oldest Judg ments, and . thus the other two ' 3 udg menta are worthless unless the excess is more than sufficient to pay the oldest lodgments -seconaiy. teat uamei Al bright has an equity to have the sales on executions issued by Geo Albrizbt and Kirkman on the new debts stopped. until the priorities, of the judgments and otner aeots are determined, and tne excess of the exemptions sold free from all clouds and conflicting incumbrances so that it will bring the most money. ana tnereoy. it possioie. satisry tne old judgments,. thus, if possible, to prevent the sale or tne nomesteaa ana personal property exemptions. ' - " - - - The point decided in this ease has never before been adjudicated by the Supreme Court, and is important vi settling, one of : the .vexed questipns crowing out of the homestead law. Al bright's debt-was a security obligation. and that his homestead is saved to him in his old age proves the beneficence of the homestead law. - , . . .y- ; v ' Tarnish on the Charch Pews. -; Boston Herald.'.- :. ' -f-vV ' ; The seats had been .newly varnished, and somehow. the varnish ' was not right, as it .was terribly sticky. ' You know when yon pull anything off of a stickv varnish it cracks. " . Well, the audience had all got seated. when the minister got up and gave out the hymn,' and - as the basement of bis trousers let loose of the varnish of his chair there was a noise like killing a fly on the wall with a palm-leaf fan. The minister looked around at the chair to see if he - was present, and ' that no guilty . man's - pants had escaped, and read the hymn, xne enoir rose with a sound of revelry, and after the tenor -had swallowed a lozenge, and the bass had coughed up a piece of frog, and the alto had nemmed and tne - soprano nan shook out her polonaise to see if the varnish showed on the south side, the audience began to rise. - - - One or two deacons go fop first, with sounds like picket firing lu the distance on the eve or patue, ana men a xew more crot cd and the rattling of thenn yielding varnlfn sounded as though the fight was becoming more animated, and then the whole audience got otr its feet at once with a sound of rattling mus ketry. . The choir sang Hold the Fort." When the choir had concluded the peo ple sat down rinzeriy.the services were short, and . all went home praying for the man that painted the seats,. - ' ' ' ; r ; . ; . j -;-, ".-."v Car TlxmS C&, ': Do not raffrt roar to bcorns lesd fcy Allowing a eold to eonunn without n Tort to ear VL ihooMiwi h died prrnHir citM, tmld lr.
