JUVENILE DEPRAvIlY.-In the Bri ish
House Of Lords, the Marquis of Lunsslownc
in moving 10 90 into committee ON thc In
venile Offenders bill made the follow,no
appalling statcments:-
Their lIordships must be aware that for
many years past there had been a very preat
increase Of juvenile offenders-that was. of
offenders u:'dcr IL years Of age. This. il
had been remarked, was the case in every
part OF Europe, bur 10 a greater degree in
this country than in other States. Ia
horious inquiry had been instituted. in mr.
der, if possible, to ascertain the probable
causes of this increase of crime. By some
il was attributed to The rapid increase of The
population and the growth of large mann.
featuring towns, while others find some no.
culiar circumstances in the stale of society
in England which they were of opinion oc
casioned the evil. But, whatever the causc
might he, the increase ofjuvenlc dcpravi,y
was most appalling. As the rcsuI, Of an
inquiry made in one great manufacturing
town, that of Manchester, il was asc. rtaiued
that in four years, the number nf children
absolutely abandoned or found lost in the
streets, amounted to S.6l0. In 1899. there
were 1;954; in 1888, 2.l04; in 1884, 2,1I7:
and in 1885. they amounted to the enor.
nous number of2, ,435. With respec, 10 the
commitments Of Juvenile offenders through
out tho country. the result, had been, as ta-
ken from accounts lately made up, ,hni in
the last two years, 5,I74 males and 1875
females under the age Of Is wear, commit
tod for various crimes, the average of two
years being 1857 males and 637 females.
The ratio in London was still g, eater.

NORTH CARoLINA.-The following arc
the remarks Of the Raleigh Standard on the
result of she recent elections in this State.
''Our returns are now complete We
have heard from the Senatorial District of
Buncombc. Haywood and Macon. which
has elected Democratic Republican Sena-
tor, and one member Of the same politics
from Macon, This gives us % out Of 50
in the Senate, and SIS out of 12O in tho
House of Commons. We now state with
confidence the political character Of our
next Legislature. We can have no mo-
two Tor misrepresentation and concealment;
and while truth and cantlor require us to
say the friends of the administration have
not majority in either branch nr the Leg
islature, we can say, with equal certainty,
that the Bank Wings are also in the ny
ority.
1.-The few State Rights men in both
honses, hold the balance. and will decide
snch questions Of political character as
may arise. live cannon boast of a majnrir,
ior The administration and the Sub Treasury
SO our opponents proper, cannot claim
majority for Clay and National Bank.
1t ID fact. beyond question, thu, while
the opposition carried every county where
they commanded n majority-thc friends Of
the administration have lost the asccn,lan-
cy by divisions. Such was the case in Ber-
tic, Sampson, Orange, Stokes. and Yam
cey; to say nothing Of other counrics in
which our friends claim majority. In
those counties there has heen a loss of S
members; more than sufficient to have Sc
cured the majority in both branches. Our
enemies may boast and brae-hu, our
friends abroad NAV he well assured, tina, our
opponents will be able to effect nothing of a
political character-neilher instructions, di-
rect nor infcrential.
"Whntever may he the impressions Of
others, we arc satisfied with the present
aspect OF affairs in this State. The hitter
waters of federalism have extended to their
utmost hounds, and must hereafter rccede
from before the frowns Of an honest and
patriotic people. The virtuous democracy
of North Carolina will arouse to vigiIant
exercise of their patriotic duties. careless of
the reproaches Of corrupt and interested
parlizans, or the bullying and thrca,ning of
crazy politicians. The people have moth
ing to fear. The God ofjuslicc is with us;
and our State will he one of tho firmest
pillars in tho temple Of Constitutional
Liberty"

DEFEAT OF THE SuB-TREAsrRY.-
We have the unexpected but extreme
ly grateful pleasure Of announcing the
signal and complete defeat Of the Sub
Treasury Bill. IN the House OF Repre-
senia,ives, by the altogether unlocked
tor aud surprising majority Of fourteen
votes. This event. which will be hail
ed throughout the Union With the deep.
es. gratitude, ient a thrill olJoy through
the hearts OF the people. as 1t was IA
yidly made known. yesterday morning.
throughout the streets o!ihe city. We
DO not recolleot any event which SEEM
ell TO produce a more agreeable sensa-
ton. Whether We view the defeat ol
this odious measure in political sense
as q triumph OF the will Of tho people
over the selfish and unprincipled de-
signs OF those who have been Temporal
riiy entrusted with the government. OF
as the overthrow of n settled system OF
warfare upon The finance aud commerce
OF the country. II Is equally an occasion
for congratulati6n. We might rejoice
over.,t, "a an evidence Ut the ~ eaaness
OF the party IN power. and as an uner.
ring symptom Of the dissolution tia,
