During the late heated term at the North an ex-
ttraordinary number of persons died with sun
stroke. AS many as two or three hundred vic
TINS of this fatal disease reported in New
York city alone and yet we notice that, at no
time during the season has the thermometer rang
ed above 100 degrees. Why, then, so many
deaths or any deaths at all In this city and va
rious portions of the South the thermometer has
ranged high as 1913, and for week it was at no
time as low as in New York for the same period.
But have had no case of sunstroke in this city,
and tat few if any in the South We repeat the
question, how are we to account for this differ
ence in the effect of heat upon the brain Do
our people expose themselves less, or are the
northern people worked harder Perhaps we
breathe purer air than the denizen of the great
cities of the North, or have we better brains If
Yankee laborers die by the hundred with the
thermometer at 81 degrees how could they stand
work in the cotton fields of the South with the
piercing rays of the sun at much higher temper
re.-Lyachbuyy Republican.
HEAT NORTH AND SouTH.-A correspondent asks
us why sun-strokes are numerous in the North,
as compared with the South, and why summer
heats much more serious and dangerous
there than here" We believe Herehel furnishes
the generally received philosophical answer: 'The
true indication of the force of the solar rays"
says Herschel, 'would seem to be not the statical
effect on the thermometer, but their momentary
intensity measured by the velocity with which
they communicate heat to an absorbent body
Ii is this 'momentary intensity which is greatest
in Northern cities at tt present time, and in adj
diton the restless habits of life political and COM
mercial excitement, intemperance, want of pure
air and more rapid radiation of heat in closely
built towns, have much to do with it.
COUNTERFEIT TEN DOLLAR NoTEs.-For the
benefit of the public give the following descrip
ton of the ten dollar counterfeit note on the
National Banks
'sFigure of Liberty on an eagle upon right end,
Franklin and boy on left. The signatures are en-
graved in the counterfeit, and in the genuine they
are written. The lightning, grasped by the hand
of Liberty, is barely perceptble in the genuine,
while in the counterfeit it is badly defined
dark, coarse back ground which in the. genuine is
light The general appearance fair, but is very
coarse on examination. On the back of the note
the followers of De Soto appear as if engaged in
terrible battle, and seem mixed up, while in the
foreground that which is designated for priest
bears exact immage of monkey. These notes may
be altered to represent any National Bank

Brev't Maj. Gen. ROBINSON.
CLINTON A. CILLEY, A. A. G..

1t is known that there persons in the State,
and cut of it, who have sought to make the I'M
preston that judicial officers and urles SO
inimical to persons of color, and persons among
who were soldiers in the United States army
Turing the late civil war, who refused to serve
in the Southern armies, that such persons cannot
expect Justice In courts. Citizens OF this State
who had served in the army of the United States,
have filed petitions, addressed to the President OF
the United States, charging that they were perse-
cuted by courts, and praying for protection.
Upon reference of the petitioners to me, by the
President, have made such Investigations as sat
isfied me, beyond doubt, that there no
ground for the filing of such petitions. And these
investigations, after having been submitted, in
detail, for examination, have in each case drawn
forth response of like satisfaction from the ma
tional authorities.
Inquisitions have been made and &c parte state
ments taken from persons who claim to have been
aggreved by the action nOn-action of our courts
and iuries. None of these, yet, SO far know,
even if taken as true prove anything to the pre-
JUDGE of any judicial officer of the State. The
ability and purity and impartiality with which
justice has always been administered in this State,
even where negro appealed to our Courts to as
sert his freedom, have never been questioned at
home or abroad. Our present judicial corps Will
not suffer by comparison with their predecessors
at any period of our history. I have referred to
these things only to justify me in asking at this
time for peculiar diligence and circumspection on
the part of all Justices of the Peace Sherifs and
OtQef JUDICIAL anu oAeCub1Vo Officers, In the O1S-
charge of their official duties. One of the
unhappy sequents of the late civil war is an in
crease of crime-particularly larceny and bur-
glary and the too frequent failure to apprehend
and punish the criminal. Every good citizen
should cooperate with the officers of justice in
bringing every vioator of the criminal law to JUS
tice. We can, in no other way, expect return of
the quiet and security which distinguished our
State before the war.
1t ought to be, and hope it is, the wish, not
only of the judiciary but of every intelligent white
nan in the State, to protect the lately emancipa-
ed negro in all the rights of person and of prop
erty, to which he is entitled under the laws and
thus induce him to confde in justice, and en-
courage him to be honest and industrious and to
| acquire property and take care of it.
