THE YOBKVTLLE LYNCHING. i With bat few exceptions, the lynch ing of the five negroes in York ville has been condemned by the press of the State, as we think it should be. There was no Te?son to doubt that the law would be enforced?everything was be ing dene by the officials that could be expected, and we cannot understand how the hanging of confessed murder ers by* ?ob of unknown men could benefit society to" the extent that their execution, ander sentence and by the officers of the law, would. Judge Pressiey has written the fol lowing letter to the Setps and Courier 3' v npoo the subject of lynching i The supposed fault of my late charge to the grand jury of York is greater than has been reported When I said - : -te them that Courts of Justice were ~4 powerless to repress or punish the hor rible crime of lynchhing, that charge was not limited to York, or to South ? Carolina, but plainly and expressly in ? .< xluded the whole United States. There . would he hope for the country, I said, if in only two or three'States that crime was unpunished, but now ! could find no remedy in the weakness of the Courts.. Let not the Pharisees of any - section "thank God that they are not as other men are, or even as this publi jean.** That worship is hypocrisy until they can cali to mind one solitary case in which a hand of lynchers has been punished by any Court in any section -:-; _ of the whole country. Is it wrong to proclaim and publish, and-repeat and again repeat, this dis ;w.. _ST*ce to our civilization, when only that . course can save the country ? Listen to a tale of simple, sad truth : When Moore was lynched at.Spar tanburg, eight years ago, I earnestly reminded the -grand jury of the oaths they had just taken ; warned them that they would violate tbeir oaths if they failed to search out and bring to trial " the persons who killed Moore. Ail that I could, do was done to make them sensible of danger to the State if such crimes were not speedily punished And yet, despite all my warnings, that grand jury not only refused to pursue the lynchers, hut also justified the crime in their final presentment. That rebuff did not silence me. Ever since, until the acknowledged failure of the Edge field prosecutions, I did not cease to charge, urge and warn the grand juries to bring lynchers to trial. Now, I am unwilling any longer to use the expen sive machinery of the Court to enact a farce. The only remedy is to rouse the people to a proper sense of their danger end their disgrace. My warnings thus far have been poured into deaf ears, and begin to sound like an idle tale even to myself. J$ pulpit, press sod all good people would persistently unite to make lynch ing baierai, then the Coarte could pun ish and crush it out. Until that be done we can only play Cassandra?warn in vain. Let me say tor the grand' jury of York that they added to their float present ment much earnest condemnation of the lyncher?. That "little crumb of com fort" is more than I ever before got from a grand jury. COLONIZING CONVICTS. The idea of the colonization of con viets io Alaska has an earnest advocate in Mr. Creed T. .Davis, a prominent builder of the city of Richmond, Ya. It is stated that he bas given the sub ject serious consideration, and that he has so familiarized himself wkh the scheme as to be able clearly to demon strate hs practicability, aod the great advantages that will grow out of it. Mr. Davis says that as it is the con vict labor plague that is a fire-brand in the banda of socialists and revolutionists and a sweet morsel for the average statesman and demagogue to roll under their tongues as an argument by which to lift themselves into office, it can now be removed forever as a bone of conten tion and taken out of politics, and at the same time be made to serve a use ful purpose by the simple process of colonizing the convicts in Alaska. Alaska is a vast country, most of it unexplored, but enough of it has been discovered for geographers to say that it embraces more than one-sixth of the area of the Uuited States aod its Ter ritories. The River Yukon flows through it, which river ?9 said to dis charge into the Behring Sea, more water than does the Father of Waters into the Gulf. It is argued that the colonization plan wouhi rid society of the pernicious aod evil influences of the criminal classes after they had served out their senten ces. For every one knows that the publie really suffers more from the in fluence* of the criminal after release from the penitent taries than from their nr*t acts of lawlessness .aod crime. Mr Davis says that e convict comee out of prison finished io all the arts and wiles that go to make the consummate villain. l? that in this Subbed condition h? is dum pedinai he very verles of society with increased powers for evil, aod that this- scheme of expatriation, or rather of banishmeDb would rid us of this pesti lential influence to which we are now subjected. Notwithstanding a liberated convict, who has expiated his crime before God and man, is as pure as snow, nevertheless he is an outcast* Society, Christian society, turns its hack upon bim and spits upon him. Every ave nue of business U closed against him. No matter how willing he may be to earn a living by honest toil, he finds it Very difficult to do so. All this could be remedied by banishing convicts to Alaska. We think that tbts scheme of Mr. Davis is impracticable and exceedingly visionary and the only thing it does demonstrate is the wild and un reasonable notions men are foolish enough to advocate at times. Current Comment; The two eminent American statesmen who are now conspicuously engaged in putting Presidential feathers in their caps may well be followed by a humor loving public. Senator Sherman ad vances South aod remarks that that section of the country bas a great bus iness future. This will not do. Mr. Biaine must journey West and tell the St. Louis Exchange that the merchants of that city ought to erect a statue to Thomas Jefferson?the titular deity of Democracy. Senator Sherman will require several days to recover from this shock aod pick his feather, and pending his decision we . suggest that he express bis enthusiastic desire to be present at the unveiling of the statue of Jobo. C. Cal boon at Charleston, which is to take place in a few weeks. What would Biaine think of that.?Springfield Republican, Ind.' Rep. We hope -the story wired from Washington to the effect that the Presi dent objects so much to be stared at and jostled by the volgar herd that, io order to spare his sensibilities, private entrance to his private box has been eut at Albaugb's Theatre, is false. It looks on its face like a lie. It is not in keeping with Mr. Cleveland's general character and conduct. He has hitherto shown himself unspoiled by his elevation. While bis Secre taries have sat in their highmightiness, their cars stuffed with cotton and their necks clad in thunder, eojoying of them selves and their officers, the public has bad free access to the White House, and bas met there a plain, straightfor ward man of business with no high falotin nonsense about him, accessible, affable and direct.?Louisville Courier Journal, Dem. quarter of a century ago?just twenty-fire ago to-day? Beauregard withdrew his shattered army from the awful field of Shiloh.?Neio York World. A quarter of a century ago TJ. S. Grant, with his shattered and demo ralised remnant of an army, was driven by Sidney Johnson under the shelter of the gunboats and but for his untimely death they would have been bagged, and Grant and Sherman would have disappeared from history.? Wilming Star. A great meeting was held at Mon treal, Canada, to protest against Tory coercion of Ireland. The South should hold meetings, especially as Matthew Arnold says the Southern States do not sympathize with the Irish and do not favor Home Rule. Why, dear Mr. Arnold, the South is the native home of local self government or home rule, for they are the same. The great apostle of this precious muniment of freedom lived and died in the South ?Jefferson. And in the South lived Andrew Jackson, Calboon, Bledsoe and the safe and true expounders of the Constitution.? Wilmington Star. T. Thomas Fortune, the colored editor of the only prominent newspaper in New York printed and edited by colored meo, ra a speech at an Odd Fellows banquet rn New York on Satur day said he hoped to live to help re-elect Cleveland in 1888. He was loudly ap plauded by the large number of colored men present. As the colored vote holds the balance of power in New York, Pennsylvania. Ohio and New Jersey and has heretofore been solidly Republi can, this indication of a break may mean much for the next general election. In Be John Sherman. The real significance of Sherman's Southern visit has never beco revealed. Tbc truth is the senator came down to prove that he had Constitution enough to resist four years of wear aod tear io the White House by publicly fingering the remains of the Southern republican party without the protection of disin fectants. The man who survives this feat only needs an accident policy on bis life to make bim feel fairly safe for another decade.?Macon Telegraph. A few months ago Senator Sherman and a few friends bought 100 acres of land in the Fiodlay gas regioo, paying $30,000 for the property. Oo Friday last Mr. Sherman's agent declined $60,000 for his interest and stated that it was held at $100,000. We trost Mr. Shermao will oot sell, but will retire from politics aod engage actively io the oil aod gass business. He will find it a much mora delightful business than running for President. We are of the opinion that this would also suit the democratic party.?Oil City Der rick. The "Necessity for Fire Protection. The many destructive fires in vil lages during recent months, says the Critic, show the importance of provid ing adequate means of resistance to so formidable an enemy. Yet it is notori ous that the municipalities interested are, in hundreds of iustaoecs, slow to act io this matter. A fire well started iu a village where there is oothiug to ob struct it has its owo way. When in such an experience men sec the earn ings of many laborious years swept away io a few terrible hours, they feel as Dever before the necessity of a water suppy aod of the apparatus for its effect ive use. At the preseot low cost of fire department apparatus there is no excuse for aoy village to longer jeopardize the property and lives of its citizens. It only requires some active, go-ahead per son in each community to agitate the subject and show the inhabitants their constant danger. Let there be an awakening among the people upon the j necessity of procuring suitable protectioo from the ravages of the flames before it j is too late. i NEWS ITEMS. ?

The tory government has evidently well nigh run its conrse and with its downfall will no doubt come the long deferred deliverance of Ire land.
