To the Democrats aad Conservative Par
ties Of North Carolina:
On Thursday night, about the middle of
the night, a most tiendish and diabolical
outrage was perpetrated in the city of
Raleigh. At that hour, when lie inhabi-
tants OF this city had retired 10 rest and
were wrapped in sleep, a startling and ter
rife explosion was heard; fire bells were
rung, aud the people were aroused from
their slumbers. 1t was soon ascertained
that the office Of the Sentinel, with its
press and fixtures; were i'll ruins aud man
ifestly destroyed oy design. Democrats
Conservatives This blow was aimed at
the liberty of the press, liberty of thought
and speech in the person of Josiah Turner,
editor of the Sentinel. For the last four
years he has fought manfully and bravely

fought corruption and dishonesty, he has
fought combinations AID rings formed to
destroy free government and the liberties of
the people. He has ia tie columns Of his
newspaper been true Sentinel upon the

sake, barred his bosom to the attacks Of

Inadeuuate Punishment.

Judge Benedict, of New York, who has
just sentenced criminals to one years i'm
prisonment and $500 fine for sending OBJ
scene publications through the post-office,
has remarked that the punishment is to-
tally inadequate, but it is all that the law
allows. "The business" says the New
York Journal of Commerce, is so deadly
to the best interests of mankind, SO bar
baliously at war with all that civilization
is endeavoriDg to do, but we do not trust
ourselves to suggest All adequate penalty y
but the Journal nevertheless mildly re-
commends the return to the whipping post
and the pillory for the persi ting in which
as punishment little Delaware has been
SO often held up to scOrn. The lash is now
being reintroduced into the English penal
code, for offenses which common modes of
punishment do not check, and the result
up to this time is highly satisfactory.

The Democratic State Central Commit
tee of Indiana has issued an. address to the
Democrats and Liberal Republicans Of

voters of both parties on the success with
which they met the organized and COM

they say, had not small element of the
party remained at home on election day.
This element, however, will now appreciate
the Importance of entire union in their
ranks, and rally to the support of the ticket
in November. The INSCRIPTIONS men
who invoke the corrupting influence of
money and fraudulent votes have not get
accomplished all they had hoped, and the
result shows that majority of the legal
voters Ct the State are in favor of Reform
and opposed to the present Administration.

The recent death of old Simon Lang.
the last of the Gretna priests, is generally
spoken of in the English newspapers. He
was a weaver by occupation, and inherited
the matrimonial business from his father,
Each was called Bishop Lang. In early
days, the average number of marriages at
Gretna Green were about 90 aunually: but
the number in latter times rose to 400.
The fees ranged from half a guinea to $50,
and even more; though hard-up couples
Were sometimes united for dram Of whiS-
key. These marriages were regular ac-
cording to the loose law Of Scotland, which
merely required a declaration by both
parties in the presence Of witnesses; yet,
curlously enough, Scotch lovers have been
known to betake themselves to Gretna
when they might have been just as easily
married at home. The Gretna practice
was abandoned in 1926, in consequence Of
the Interference of the Ecclesiastical
Courts; but for the so years in which the
Green was the resort Of runaway couples,
19S gentlemen, Is officers of the army
and IL noblemen were married there.
These marriages are now formally pro-
MDlted bykAct of'Parliament,

WASHINGTON, ID. G October II.
The forthcoming Senatorial elections in
the State legislatures which haye the choice
of Senators for the terms beginning March
t, 1873, are already causing much interest
and speculation. Morton telegraphs to his
friends here that the Republican majority
Of the new Indiana Legislature are pledged
to his reelection. Cameron has - fixed
things" with equal certainty in Pennsyl-
vatia. If the Republicans carry the Iii
nciS Legislature Mr.. Trumbull's political
career may De temporarily suspended 1t
is known that Governor Oglesby is a can
d.date for the succession, and that General
Baveridge accepted the second place on tie
Illinois Eepublican State ticket with the
understanding that Oglesby was to go to
the Senate and leave the Governorship to
him. Pomeroy is making a desperate
struggle in Kansas to re-elect himself
There is a strong opposition to him In his
own party. Bel Butler is pluming himself
for Wilson's seat, i'll case that veteran
demagogue succeeds in his Vice-Pl esiden-
tal aspirations. Senator Frank Blair, of
Missouri, will undoubtedly be reelected
but Sawyer, of South Carolina, who has
lost his fortunes With the boilers faction
in that state, will not. The corruptionist
Moses who has just been elected Governor
OF South Carolina has promised the Sena-
torslip to Elicit, the present Representa-
tive from the Third District, negro of the
Congo type and bad, mischievous fellow
Nye is very anxious about bis reelection
He has several Republican competitors
Tie Democrats expect to elect Democratic
Senators to succeedthe present Republican
Senators from Georgia, North Carolina,
New York, Alabama, Arkansas, and
Florida. 1t is understood that Warmoth
will be elected from Louisiana if the
Democrats and Liberals elect the next
Legislature, as they undoubtedly will.
There will be substantial Democratic
Liberal gain in the Senate after next
March,
