CAPITAL ADVICE E-The Petersburg
Index, of Wednesday. says:

CAPIIAL ADVICE. E.-Inc Petersburg
Index, of Wednesday. says:
In the event that the elections
held on yesterday disclose radical
majorities, an attempt will ut once
be made to play bluff game, and to
intimidate the Southern States into
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment. Self-styled friends will
whisper that it is better to yield this
one time, as if all the concessions we
made last year had not taught their
own lessons. TO all this buster and
the suggestions of the tempter, let us
oppose good conscience, quiet dis
charge Of the duties of life, and
firm, unwaverlnS resolve to do no
thing that is mean, cowardly and
disgraceful. There need be no fear
of the adoption of this amendment.
If all the Northern States were to be
temporarily led astray by passion and
excitement, the Southern States, sim
ply by Il policy of "masterly inactivi-
ty," can defeat the amendment until
the balance Of the Northern States
shall, like Oregon, expunge the ratif-
tions hastily given under passion and
excitement. In another issue we
shall take up this subject and demon
strate how easy it is to defeat the
adoption Of this scheme.
The late Judge Fl, of Con
necticnt, was not remarkable for
quickness Of apprehension. At
certain time Mr.. r. W. Sherman was
arguing case before him, and in the
course of his remarks, Mr.. Sherman
made a point which the Judge did
not at once see. "Nlr Sherman,
would thank you to state the point
so as | can understand you" BoNns
ing politely, Mr.. Sherman replied in
his blandest manner, Your Honor
is not probably aware of the task you
are imposing on me.
Among other articles which seem
likely to become very fashionable in
the capitol are watches and chains,
made of hardened India rubber,
which closely initiates different sorts
of wood. Should these articles get
into general use Messrs, the pick
pockets, will lose considerably by
the same.
Every year some fresh article of
luxury becomes the rage in Paris.
At the present moment Orguanirry
are all the fashion, and we could name
more than 100 shops where no other
article is sold.

Outrages in Western North Carolinu

OutrnSes i'm Western North Carolina.
\ correspondent writes to the Raleigh
Seutime' from Franklin, Macon County, n.
c., September %, ~ follows:
His Honor Judge Shipp held court in
Cherokee last week. But few decisions Of
Importance were madD. The court had its
deliberations Very much disturbed, on
Monday, by the return OF some noted IN
dividua!s from Tennessee, by the name of
Morrow, well armed. They made an at
tack on Il man by the name of latham,
fired pistol at him while on his horse in
the act of leaving for home, the bali MISS
ing him and taking effect i'll the neck of
his horse. Tatham, who, it seems, had
been apprchensive of an attack, was also
armed and returned the tire, killing in
stantlv one Of the Morrows, and rode Off
The other Morrow mounted Il horse and
pursued him y short distance, but not III
the range of Sun-shot.
He wheeled his horse, came back to
where his brother was lying dead, and de-
iberately fired on lawyer by the name of
Boon, killing him instantly Boon appears
to have been unarmed, not having suspect
pected any attack. Aftc. killing Boon, he
fired on 4 man by the name of Cooper,
quite q peaceable and inoffensivc man not
engaged i'll the atfray, intiicting on him
two severe wounds, from which his reco-
very is deemed doubtful, and Morrow then
made his escape i'll the direction of Ten
nessee, where lie resides. These OutruSes
by men from Tennessee, acting under the
advice of Gov. Browniow, who published
the opinion that it was right to kill the
rei'S wherever found, and that he would
pardon the oVence, are becoming too fre-
quent to be continued much longer with
out producing u border warfare much to
be deplOrcd.
\ man by the name of Cline, residing in
~ of Inf1
down in cold blood, Il short time since, by
Il band of lnarauders from Tennessee,
known as the Robert Burchtield robbers.
-Four OF them came to the house of Cline
little while before dark, called him out
ana pretended that they wanted to trade
with hlm, he being II merchant loitcrcd
about until dark, then pretended that they
wanted candle to count out their money.
AS soon as the candle came, without say
ing Il word, two of them shot him-tiie
balls taking effect near his heart, causing
instant death. He leaves a wife and u
large number of small children to mourn
his loss. The murdcrers were enabled to
make thcW escape to the dominionS OF
Gov. Brownlow
Another portion including the notable
Bob Burchteld himself about the same
time, penetrated into the lower portion Of
Cherokee County, went to the house of
Mrs. Gunter, fired upon her two sons,
woundlnS one of them seriously. They,
too, made their escape to the same rem
devious.
VIII these murdercrS OF our peaceable
citizens along the border as in tho days of
yore, be surrendered and turned over to
the civil authority for trial and puni an
ment?

scend to be ''Paul Ply" of this cha
racter. Besides, in this city, broken
up as all its merchants were, such
espionage.i lis totally unnecessary, for
we venture to say that no man has
received credit in Northern markets,
unless his condition, character and
standing were well known to his Gre
ditors there. 1t is well, however, for
all to remember that such system as
we have called attention to is evi-
IDENTIFY sought to be put in operation.
THE DISTRICT COURTS. The Ian
caster Ledger, speaking of the District
Courvs, has Il small idea of their
utility. When the subject was first
mooted, these Courts were designed
more especially for the litigation of
cases in which freedmen were in
volved, but the recent Act of the
Legislature, declaring the rights of
freedmen, rendered unnecessary the
machinery of new courts, organized
with new Judges, at an expense, if
not to the State, at least to I, large
number of citizens. The Ledger. says:
cit is our belief that these District
Courts will prove to be the greatest
folly of which the Legislature Of
South Carolina has ever been guilty.
We propose to show, in some future
issue of this paper, that they are use
less appendages to the judiciary of
the State; that the Superior Courts
are ample for the discharge of all the
business Of which the District Courts
Will have jurisdiction; that the latter
are created at an expense which the
impoverished condition of the State
and people can lily afford; that their
tendency will be to multiply litiga-
ton, lower the judicial ermine of the
Commonwealth, and will be of no
real advantage to anybody, except,
possibly, the lawyers and its own
officers y

HE HERALD ON BUTLER The
New York Herald, Of Tuesday, con-
cludes severe article on Bethel
Fisher Butler as follows:
The best thing his Boston friends
can do for him now is to provide a
comfortable and congenial home for
him in some lunatic asylum in Mas
sachusetts. He is doing immense
damage to the radical cause while he
is permitted to go at large. A whole
some restraint, therefore, might be
good, both for himself and his CO.
laborers. Have not the solid men of
Boston sense enough to know how to
take care of ranting, raving Ben.

Mr. DAVIS Casa special de-

Wednesday, says:
''The Cabinet meeting to-day was
protracted, and it is reported that
the disposition of Jefferson Davis
was considered. The matter was
brought up i'll consequence of let
ter addressed by United States Dis
trict Attorney Chandler to Attorney
General Stanbery. The President
also addressed certain interrogatories
to the Attorney General few days
ago, and the reply of the latter was
submitted to the Cabinet this after
noon. The whole matter will be
made public this week"

Holden, the notorious, is striving
to induce North Carolina to accept
the constitutional amendment. He
writes to the Raleigh Standard:
We wand heard enough at Wash
ington to convince rs that if the
Howard amendment should not be
accepted by the Southern States, re-
organization would follow, with negro
suffrage, confscation of property,
and many other evils. We wish the
South to take this amendment to
avoid further and greater evils.
A complete amnesty has been ac-
corded by Italy to all political prison
rs.-Cable NerS.
Which shows that Victor Ema-
nuel does not understand the science
of government. Such liberality,
however, may do for "despotic
monarchs and their enslaved sub
jects." )" Republicans know better.
