?Columbia, S. '-^-?Dispensary matters are looming. ' Dr. Ensor. chief of tlie raiding force of the internal revenue depm tment, said today that the shipment of liquors in flasks packed in barrc'.s is a c'car vio'at' * of the internal revenue law ami : such liquors would ba by the United Stated j i,e, "applies to aj .. ?'>?'''*^^^NAstatc dispensary." >// ."Tfc ?<j '/"t-J Nutate Commission?# //'/?<&* ',r APWded uader the riS?7 p % co?^cV^Jcun. cealing eight barrets <" Jskey which were sened ?u the St V.,,,.., by the ^ _?21jU^8imilH|l^5H^^^^225,ar'es'on, .. - ~wm? "^^TI^iosu before his iernf ends, at any cost. He said to lav ^ tbnt his constables bad about fifty cases in j Charleston ami the fuu will begin soon. J The governor says lie bus been informed J that the grand jury in Charleston will not ' bring iu true bil s ngainst any of the defendants in these liquor eases, not even in Chicco's case, where the proof is of a most positive nature. He says he really hopes that the grand jury will act that way, that it will only make the legislature more prouo to act decisively. He mya that in doing this way the people there will simply be damming tip the waters that will finally wipe them away. In the course of his conversation the governor gave the impression that the legislature would ?t 'he coming session be asked to create a dispensary recorder's court in ilie various cities, which will not permit n trial by jury to offcndois. but will permit the judge on a j>rimu jaciv showing to sentence each offender ami fine hint. It seems (hat if this method is not resorted to then there will be an amendment to tlie existing laws made so that the State can obtain a change of venue before a true bill is found in the offender's county, leaving the grand jury of whatever couniy the case may be transferred to pass upon tlie case. Tuain WitKt'KKits Work.?Birmingham, Ala , Sept.'2*2.?A southbound limited express on the Queen and Crescent route wus wrecked at 1 o'clock this morning nineteen miles north ef Birmingham. 'J'he wreck occurred on a curve and embankment. One end of the rail had been displaced by removal of fish plates. Near by lay tools which had been stolen from I lie section bouse at Somervil'c, seven miles awav, and with which the rails had been taklii up. The engine leaped from the truck down the embankment, lu s i doing the engineer aud firemen were hurled away out of all danger The postal nnd bugenge cars were piled on top of the engiue and crushed like egg shells The express nie-scnger was imprisoned in the wreckage, but got out uniiurt. The train being vestibu'ed, none of the coaches or sleepers, of which there were five, turned over. The train was full of people coining from the World's Fair, none of whom were hurt. Fireman Walter Wnitc lias his shoulder b'ade broken: engineer Fralcy hurt in the .shoulder and eye cut: p^tal clerk J. S. Stockton bad'y cut in the he id: tireman Tom Hailey hurl in back: porter lLotvell cut. All of the injured were brought here to the hospital. Superintendent Frasev and ShoritF Morrow were nt the scene of wreck with blood bounds after the supposed wreckers. It is thought the wreckers had a grudge against the road on account of some law suits or somethiug of the kind. A Minusea in Hum Liik.?Mrs. Cyrus W. Field. Jr., went to the Curtis millinery cstabl shmctit in Fifth Avenue, next to the Uelmouico's, yesterdry afternoon, and began to take an active part in the management of the business in which she has an iuterest. A World reporter called at her home, No. 150 West Sixty-fifth street, and found |hcr in a joyous mood. She said : "I have begun my new career, and although 1 was not brought up to business 1 Wi/l'gcT AVo'd^.'as all my friends are so kind to me. 1 shall not do much ut til after October 1, when we are going to have an opening nt the store. Then 1 shall get right down to work. It is not my intention to attempt -o make any changes in the business as yet. for I do not know enough about it. If we do not do well there will be nothing to blame but the bonnets. "Hard times do not alfect American women. American men are the best and biggest hearted men in the world. Times may be hard and business bad, yet they would rather go without coats on their backs than to refuse to buy their wives new bonnets and dresses. I wish all men were like the American men.*' All the while that sho spoke Mrs Field laughed and joked. If her disposition in business is as genial, she will make a fortune. llKi.iutoi's In tolehanck.?

VI IIIQ iun IVJV?ut'33 that seems to be abroad in the land, both North and South. For ilie past two months very near every daily paper that has been issued, contains an account of the comniiss:on of some atrocious crime, until now the decslogueis about exhausted. Are we drifting into barbarism ? ff wo are, then the boast of American civilization should cease, and our churches and school houses should be pulled down, our system of justice abolished, and let every man establish unto himself a code of law "and morals, for we are not advancing in civilization, and our churches, schools and ''courts are becoming a] parody in the sight of the outside world. Of course, neither civilization, society nor the institutions of learning can put a stop to the individual committing crime, as it is impossible for human agencies to change human nature, as both the divine and human laws have been violated from the beginning of the world to the present time, and these laws will be violated through coming ages. But we must s>y that the individual committing crime, is quite different to what is known as mobs. In one case it is tlie individual. In tlie other it is people for whose protection laws are enacted, and they allow excitement and passion to control, and bocome criminals themselves. Thus violating the very law that they attempt 10 vindicate, for after the criminal is put to death, or tortured by a wild mob, the law lias not been vindicated; the wild human passion is alone appeased, and the majesty of tlio laws has been insulted and trampled under f??ot. Many a poor wretch who was innocent has suffered at the hands of an infuriated mob, when if lie had becu given an impartial trial before a court, presided over by an impartial Judge, and an impartial jury to pass 0*1 bis innocence or guilt, he would have been acquitted. In many instances the death penalty is inflicted by the mob, wben the punishment prescribed by tlio law is only imprisrnment for J limited number of years, as in tlie lloaiiokc case a few days ago, which was au outrage of tbc deepest dye, and one tlint will stand on record as being one of the m'st brutish and iuhuuian lyncliings that lias ever taken place in a civilized community, for the infuriated mob was not satisfied with having put the poor wretch to death, but uiusi burn the body. it must be remembered, that in the Konnoke erne. the law was trampled under foot, for the prisoner wns in the hands of the officers of the law, and in eudeavoring to protect him several lives were sacrificed, and eveu now, \I~~ r * < ? * - iHiijrui x i"? t% tuiu^uu ituiu inu vnjr iu evade the vengeance of the mob. because in the discharge of his duty he endeavored to protnct the prisoner from the fury of the rabble. We can see no excuse for the Roanoke lynching, and it is folly for the rabble to attempt to hold Mayor Trout responsible for the sad occurrence. They are to blame for the horrible affair. We must admit that the history of our <ttolr> ;u each case, except the lynching of Richardson at Denmark, the crimes with which the parties stood charged were most heinous, and the penalty was death, and there was not a shadow of doubt as to the guilt of the parties, and they received the punishment prescribed by law, and which their heinous crimes deserved. Rut even in these cases, it would have been n.uch better to ha.ve let thu law take its course and thereby be vindicated, than to have resorted to mob law. Rut it is not our purpose to exonerate the people of our own Si.'.tc and condemn the people of Virginia: but to ask the 'people to consider ihe effect that Mich n course will lead to, and the impression it makes on the outside world, to say nothing ol the reflection ou our civilization. It becomes every good citizen's duty to put his seal of condemnation on lynching and lawlessness, let it be for whatever crime it may. The courts as established by ihc constitution are the ones to appeal to and not Judge Lynch, whose c nrt is organized by passion and id which the sentence is death, to appease passion. An Alleged Outrage We clip the following from the Carolina Spartan of this week : Monday while the family was absent a half-witted woman by the name of Caroline Sherbuett, near Brunuon s 1'. <>., was outrageously assaulted by W. T. Lnwsou who lives near l'ucolet, in Union county. A warrant was placed in the hands of the sheriff, who is using all diligence fo make the arrest. There seems to be no doubt as to his guilt. The neighbors wore so indignant that they thrca'eneil to lynch him when caught. We advise llietit to 'let that business alone, especially if <'apt. Bean takes charge of the prisoner. We will make no comments until Mr. Lawsou is heard from, as we understand that lie was arrested and carried to Spartanburg Tuesday. Consolidated. The State and the Columbia evening Journal have consolidated. The State l'ublishi ig Company purchased the Journal, its plant, accoiiDts, franchises and good will. The State in sneakinv of (be cnnsnlbUiiAn says: "The only departments which will be maintained separate and independent of each other will be the editoriol departments of the Stale and I lie Journal, it is recognized that each paper has its special field and its special mission, and they will not be changed. Tlu State will continue the course low lines which may'lie is'c/iVyi^e?ri.0'Iio '!'? dependence shall elect. It will of course be less poliiicat in its ro>pe than the Stair, and will give greater attention to purely local questions, although by no means neglecting the discussion of matters of lnrge public interest in South Carolina and tlie Union, political or otherwise." Mr. John 0. Capers retires from the editorship of the Journal, to devote himself wholly to tho profession of law.

M. Giikkb, Secretary. Tiik Lasii in Maryland.?Frederick, Md., Sept. 24.?"Within forty-eight hours the sheriff will take you to the county jail, iron you to the whipping post and inflict thirtynine lashes upon your back with a rawhide, as hard as he can lay it on." The above senteuce was meted out to Daniel Jones, a prominent farmer of this county yesterday by Judge McSherry of the Circuit Court. Frederick couoty authorities have decided to enforce the law punishing wife-beaters with the lash, which still remains on the Maryland statute books, although it has not been enforced for nearly ten years. Jones was a month ago, convicted of brutal assault on his wife, prompted by insane jealousy. me woman was so severely injured that ?lip w?s unable to appear in court. The sentence has created the most intense excitement. Jones and his wile are members of old Maryland families, being connected by blood or marriage with many of the most influential people in this portion of the State. Everything that wealth and influence could do to prevent the infliotion of the old colonial penalty was doue, but without avail. The sentence is regarded by medical men as exceedingly severe. It has been the experience in Delaware that from e'even to seventeen lashes causes unconsciousness in a white man, but the sheriff, under the law, will be compelled to administer the whole thirty-nine. Jones will be the second white man who has been whipped in Maryland in nearly one hundred years, the other case having occurred in Baltimore jail about ten yoars ago.
