Mme. Louise Cappiani, the well know'll teacher of musie at No. 217 Second avenue,had Nettie aa a favored pupil for a period of three years. She stated yesterday to a Herald reporter that her fair Illinois pupil possessed a mezzo-soprano voice, which charmed every ear, and had she but continued in her musical studieit the young mias from the West would have fairly de veloped into a prinia dona. When the committee of the Dutch Reformed Church held a meeting to select a new soprano for the choir of that fashiomtble congregation, no less tbap three hundred young ladies warbled before the listening geotlemep. Of all that brilliant galaxy of sopg birds, Miss Dunlap was the first aud immer diate choice. This evidenced the captivating sweetness of her manner aud the brilliancy of her voice.

But the organist transposed the music too high and other things were unpleasant. so she left thechoir. For several mouths subsequent Miss Nettie sung in Alder’s church, in Chickering Hall, where she is well remembered for her delicious render ing of “Ave Maria,” a musical prayer composed by Mme. Cappiani 8he also appeared with great success in several charity concerts and other musical entertainments.

Extract irons a Thoagtful Editorial RerteWfug the tacts ot the Case with Reference go ifte status of the parties Concerned. From the Keowce Courier pubiuiisd ot Wslbslla. S C. In tbs abstract, lynch law meets our and public condemnation, but circumstances may exist, such as the character of tbs assailant and the as sailed, the nature and extent of the injury, which may excuse if not jus- > tify it. How do they stand in the Central lynching? Waldrsp is reported as being a half witted person, by some as a person mentally irresponsible. This should in his case have stayed summary punishment. It is further stated by some that his guilt was a matter of doubt, and that he dented it to the last. This should have led to Inquiry in any case before the death penalty w'as enforced. And here lies the great danger iu lynch law. that upon ex citement, growing out of an aggrava ted crime, passion usurps reason and men act without proper inquiry as to the crime and the guilt of th# party charged. Again, In such cases the standing of the assailed should be considered. Hus the negro race established by their life and conduct that high moral character, that reputation for virtue which makes such a wrong to their race irreparable, the lile of the victim a living death? We maintain they have not. They marry and inter marry with little regard to past chas tity and neither their education nor habits lead them to value the repu tatiou of their women, as do tlie whites. We do not deny but every citizen, male and female, white and black, are entitled to and should re ceive equal aud impartial protection under the law’, but we deny, or strong ly doubt, whether a criminal assault on a black woman can or should, ynder the character of the race, arouse that just feeling of indignation, that firm and noble resolve, coupled with genuine excitement, which a like assault on a white woman by a blacds or white man necessarily does from habit and education, and which alone, if any excuse be allowed, stands as an excuse'for past acts of lynch law by white met). Both races have their recourse for protection to the law and both here, w’e think, would get jus tice. Here both should seek it, but with the whites there is an innate as well as habitual purpose to vindicate purity and preserve society at all hazards. They cannot await the slow tne iyoffftg ihdyi^stigal^’Tjy fiie eerned and surrounding ces. As the Central victim of outrage died from her injuries,the perpetrator would have been found guilty of murder and executed,if mentally and morally reponsible. If Waldrop was the guilty party, assuming him doli oapax, he suffered only the fate the law would have alloted him, though iuaorueiway. It is nut the guilt or iunooeuoe of Walarop or the lynchers that so-mueh concerns society, as this new advance of lynch law.both in the actors aud the surrounding circum stances. There is far more iu it than tlie simple fact that was lynched for a nameless crime on B. It is an exception to past nets. Lynching by whites for tills crime has not been coufined to negro perpetra tors, but has been inflicted on whites and blacks promiscuously. With the whites it has been and is based on the vindication of virtue from brutal violence. It Is a principle of preser vation. On the other hand we do not call te mind a case where blacks have lynched a black for such a crime on their own race, though our court cal endars contain numbers of charges for such crimes. This departure by the blanks from past precedent, and that, too, on a white man of known doubt ful sanity, suggests other motives than those heretofore actuating white men. What was the real irotive.and what was the prompting incentive In this view, become* material and demands full investigation,apart from the act in itself, ns all otiier like acts, being a very high violation of law. The investigation and trial of the par ties charged may result in the partial ifnet entire suppression of lynch law’ te which end all citizens anxiously look. circiiuistan- Tragtxty at Anniston, Ala., most terrible double occurred in this Rti the Parkei House a! evening.

Op that night ^fr^-Witherheejwasdresued like a queen and was surrounded by tlie ambitious social leaders of the city. I I A SKRVANT GIHI.’S TONGUE, A few admirers dropped from the ranks several weeks ago’ when Jane Murdock, tha housekeeper who ac companied them from tl'ie East, left and sued for wasres. The Judge re^ fused to pay heron the ground that she had broken dishes und wasted provisions in excess of lief wages. Jane is a plain spoken Scotch girl, anJ, while looking for w’ork, told some racy stories poneerning the uncle and neice. She said that,’ they lived as man and wife and that after the Judge engaged her he desired that she should tell the people that she came from the tSouth nnd had been with them for two years. This site refused to do, as she first met them in St. Paul while they were en route to Bismarck. The Judge and Mrs. Witherbee had so completely won many of tlie society people that they refused to believe the girl and denounced her as a slan- deror. STRUCK by a social cyclone. The girl’s stories were soon smoth- j I ered, and all was running smoothly i untjl it was learned through the hanks that Mrs. Witherbee’s account in Chicago had been attached. This lunYiue cdfiuWi or was perfect modesty itself, but no suspicions were then rife in this city, because the millionaire, w ho was ojd enough to be her papa, represented that he was the girl’s foster father and tutor. At any rate he supplied her with cash in abundance, and as she was apparently in lovs with her art only no disagreeable questions were asked or even thought of. When the scandal was published in those naughty Western paper* old Money bags tied to Europe to wait there uutil the sterm blew over. ir’a and k’s by cable.

Meantime the sad-hearted soprano received remittances with the utmost regularity. Tlie drafts were drawn upon the American Exchange Nation ai Bunk, and Miss Nettie’s trequent visits to that institution led her into an acquaintance with one of the offL cers, who lives over in Cress Hi I, N.

JOHN & WALKER STS., SUMMERVILLE, NEAR AUGUSTA. GEORGIA. NETTIE’S CAREER XN NEW YORK. The plot for a Zola romadee, which w as given in a despatch fr«m Chicago j published in yesterday’s Herald, has awakened an interest in tbej fair hero ine among many uptown , |>enple iq New York where she resided for sev eral years. As the coy, innocent and dove-liks Nettie Dunlap she made A -Confederate veteran of Georgia wrote to Gen. Beauregard enclosing a dollar for a ticket in the La. Lot tery whose drawings the general is advertised as superintending. The old soldier wrote that he had fought ; under the general for lour years and 1 he wanted him to select a ticket that ; would draw a prize in the lottery, i It i* said that General Beauregard sent back the ticket as requested but wrote: “My Dear Old Comrade: If you will stick to the Louisiana lottery yqu will be as poor as you were at the close of the cruel war and you will not have enough left te load a pop gun ” same motive? Has he by habit the same inborn princi ples and purposes? Each reader must answer for himself. Again, the demoralization of the negro from sudden etnancipnfiot) and elevation to citizenship und from politioal power from 1888 had made him arrogant, even beyond citizen ship, and led him to frequent acts of criminal assault on reputable white women which threatened, in its in creasing tendency, to subvert our so cial fabric unless promptly checked. This state of things led to lynch law for :bat one crime, and in a few In stances only for aggravated crimes has it been pursued by the whites, in other eases. On tlie other hand cases of criminal assault on negro women by whites have been of rare occur- fact, the case of this half witted man at Central is the only one w’e can call to njind. In this re spect tjiis .case of lynching differs from others by whites in its excusa tory character. The security of white women traveling or dwelling unpro tected was in constant jeopardy and and demanded prompt if not extra judicial acts of protection. The secu rity of the negro woman has never in the same way heel) in jeopardy. Again this case assumes importance in view ol the characteristics of the two races as to citizenship and prop erty. Ths white race as a rule is in telligent moral and habituated by training and interest to obey law. Even in exceptional cases of viola tions oflaw’, by taking the law into their own hands for the protection of virtue from fiendish and brutal suit- rage, the whites have m >ved quietly as an organized citizenship, bent rather on the prevention of similar crimes than on revenge. Owning the property of the country, their interest in its preservation, having families, their respect for them and their safety, operated to check anv spirit of general lawlessness, tending to anarchy. Handling fire, they moved cautiously, checking its spread to other than the object in view. On ths other hand, ths black race, as a rule, is Ignorant, immoral and oitsn dishonest. They are besides an impulsive people, who, under excite ment, are not subject to the control and direction of reason. Owning little property, no motive of pecuniary interest operates to check excesses, but rather to stimulate them. There are some striking exceptions to the rule and we hope these may increase. From these facts, lynch law,always I ury, aud From the Chicago Mail. The death of Daniel Manning nnd the return from his labors of tl^e somewhat emphatic and persistent Mr. Lawler, a Chicago Congressman, somewhat reminds me of an incident in which both standout to advantage. When Mr. Manning was Secretary ol the Treasury, and during his first serious .sickness, the Chicago Con gressman became very solicitous about the Secretary’s health, and for awhile he sent to Mr. Manning a basket of flowers every day. Mr. Manning sent for Lawler and said: “Ijawler, I hsve been touched by your kindness. I hare heard of you before, Ixhiuk once when you called I may 11 i rut* _ _ ; . t uxAist j"? want to apologize for that, because I have been touched by this attention. Now, you have never asked for any thing and I knowyou are a poor roan, and now I waut to know what has prompted this?” The Chicago member replied that he knew the sick man was tend of flowers, and that Mrs. Manning liked them, and he simply sent them over to cheer the sick. “I have been there myself,” said the Congressman iu his peculiar manner. Mr. Manning sent for Mrs. Manning and made her ac quainted with Lawler. Mrs. Man ning said tiiat their dinner hour was at hand, and asked the Congressman to remain. “No,” said Lawler, “I can’t doit; much obliged to you— both of you, but I promised Mary I’d be at lionia to dinner with her, and I have never broken my word to my wife since we’ve been married. Mary does her own work, and I wouldn’t disappoint her.” The Simplicity of the man’s candor caused a pretty scene. Tlie gentleman who saw it, and who tells me this story, says: “I never saw anything on the stage as pretty as tiiat. The little Congressman was standing in the presence of tlie leader of Wash ington Society, for Mrs. Manning was at that time peerless, and she was al ways stately, and. at the same time, yielding when the occasion called for it Mr, Manning was fresh from his victories. He had surprised the coun try by his quick perception of the business interests of the people. As the little Congressman bad spoken, there came a silence. Mrs. Manning bowed low to him, just as a queenly woman will when she is surprised by a great truth Then she offered her baud, and tlie invalid in the chair, touched at the remark, placed hia hand over his eyes lor a moment and then called Lawler over and said: ‘God bless you and Marv.’ ” But there is one otiier little thing connected with the incident which, though it intrudes upon thedomestic- tity of his family, Is pretty enough to be made public. Mrs. Manning went to the door with Lawler, as he passed out, and asked him to call with his wife. The Congressman informed Mrs. Manning that “Mary was not a so ciety woman, as that is understood in W’ashingtan, and that they preferred to remain at home, where they could dress plainly.” However # oue night there was a genuine, old-fashioned night of it at the Manning nrrtuision, in which the 8#cretary of the Treas- tiie Chicago Congressman Wyilintns was on ly f ble to glva e to. his heart Another Itepuleive Picket) s.
