FAIRpLAY, Oct. II.
The Crime with which the Fenian
Prisoners are Charged.

The impression appears to prevail
that the Fenian prisoners, who are
held in Canada are tried for treason
against the British Crown. 50 far
as the case OF Rev. John Mcmahon
is concerned, this is not The tact. In
opening the trial, Mr. Harrison, who
appeared for the Crown, said
The prisoner at the bar is indicted
by court of competent Jurisdiction
for having, with divers other ill.tiis
posed persons, in the month of June
last, invaded these provinces with
intent to levy war against Her Ma
jcsty. The indictment under which
he Is arraigned contains three counts.
The first count charges him with bc~
ing an American citizen, and having,
as such, with divers other persons,
invaded this province, with intent to
levy war. The second count charges
him with, after having entered these
provinces, continuing with these per
sons, and the third connt charges the
prisoner as, being with these persons,
having levied war in this country.
The statue under which he is t.'ieI
was enacted by the Legislature in
1910. Under that statue any person,
not being Her Majesty's subject,
caught in the act of levying war, was
liable to be tried BY drumhcad court
martial, and Immediately executed.
This was amended by an act which
was passed last session, providing
that parties, not being subjects Of
Her Majesty, in a case Of the descrip
ton, could be tried by u court Of JUS
ticc
The Judge, in his address to The
jury, made no allusion 20 the crime

Death Of Gov. j. Nj. Merehead.

The telegraph announces that Gov Morehead
died at Rockbridge Alum Springs, Va, OF the
28th inst. He of the most remarkable
men of the State, and as connected with the great
works of internal improvement completed,
has probably left greater impression upon the
history of North Carolina than any of her sons
who have preceded him.
He was born on the 4th July, 1898, in Rocking
ham county, and graduated in 1917 at the Univer-
sity of the State He represented his native coun-
tyin 1921 in the Legislature and the county of
Gnford in 1886 In 1871 he was elected by the
Wing party as Governor, defeating the Hon. r.
NJ. Saunders. He was reelected in 1913 Gov
Moreheatrs last political service member
of the Peace Conference which assembled in
Washington in 1861, and vainly attempted to
check the impending struggle He was intimately
connected with the construction of the North Car
DINA and the Atlantic and North Carolina Rail-
roads, and was the first President of the former,
and the completion of the Danville and Green's
boro Railroad was mainly due to his continued
and perseverng efforts.
Always differing with Gov. Morehead, political
ly, we have been an admirer of his during
the great ordeal through which have just
passed North Carolina can lily afford to lose the
services of such sons in this crisis.

EFT Tu Brute.

One must be fallen indeed when his conduct,
having lost for him the respect and confidence OF
former friends and associates, does not win that
of his new companions. Governor Holdens po-
itical record since his defeat for the Democratic
nomination for Governor:at Charlotte in 1858, by
Gov. Ellis, and his subsequent defeat before the
Democratic caucus for United States Senator by
Gov. Bragg, has been such, that while driving
from him every friend he then had, has not
won the friendship of any others. A brief au-
thority as Provisional Governor secured for him
the temporary but unreliable support of q class Of
politicians who were willing to use any means in
order to advance themselves and secure, through
his influence political and judicial positions, which
otherwise could not be attained. Even these
men, who pretended to Governor Holden to be
his special friends, and urged him to become q
candidate for Governor, freely stated To gentle
men DESTROYS to bring out candidate against
him, that if they would permit Governor Holden
to run through without opposition, for Gov.
Vances unexpired term, that they would readily
join with them at the next election in order to
cure his defeat.
Most of the prominent members of the Conven-
ton who urged Gov. Holden to become candi-
date and signed the petition to that effect were at
that time office holders 10y his appointment and
were candidates for the same or other positions
to be filed by the people or Legislature. They
cared not for Governor Holden, as they for the
most part candidly admitted, but under the plea
of loyalty andFendorsing the appointment OF
the President" they desired to avoid a campaign
that might break into the political programme
which had been agreed upon.
For many years, leading States-rights Demo
GRAFT and Secessionist, and as the able editor OF
the Standard, the acknowledged organ of the
Democratic party, did more to shape the political
opinions of the young men of North Carolina than
all other persons in the State; previous and sub
sequent to the nomination of Lincoln, an avowed
secessionist in the event of his election at Char
eston, against Douglas andat Baltimore, for Doug
las at first against Breckenridge and Lane, and
finally, ardently in their favor; now friend OF
the Union and then pledging the last man and
the last dollar for its overthrow during the
struggle, for peace or war, as the Federalor Con-
federate armies We're successful ; and finally with
all the grace and skill of an acrobat, with hat in
hand, complacently bowling his acknowledgements
to fawning sycophants, Gov. Holden settles into
high official position-reaping in the defeat and
subiugation of his own people, the first, and we
believe, last reward of his political treachery.
Such conduct we knew had very properly for
feited the good opinion Of our people, in proof OF
which they have in the most decisive manner ez-
