nostrums advertised as '.Tonics," and

the Creator has endowed the choicest
medicinal herbs, roots, and banks of the
Western World tbs indeed the pure

the masses have been asking for so long

MURDER IN NEW YORK.


The trial of Charles Cordes for the
murder of John Dunn has come to a
premature conclusions, and has disap-
pointed the general expectation that
Justice would be vindicated at a triflng
expense to city and county of New York,
In one instance, at least. The case was
this Charles Cordes and Eugene Hauck
entered into dispute as to the relative
merits of the Bavarian and Prussian SOL
diers as such. Hauck maintained that
the Prussians could have licked the
French without the assistance of the
Bavarians, whereupon Cordes became
periodically indignant. A dispute fol
lowed, which was ended by Cordes grasp
ing carving knife, and plunging it
not into the breast Of his antagonist, as
he intended, but into the wrist of John
Dunn who was engaged in making peace
between the combatants. Pyeuria set
in, John Dunn died and Cordes was ar
raigned for murder in the first degree
He was stranger in the land, did moi
come of exceptionally respectable line
age" had no early Sunday-school train
ing to speak Of, not even one wealthy
friend to interpose between the execution
of the law and its victim or violator.-
Consequently all good and pious citizens
anx1ously and confidently awaited thu
result They were, however, to be ter
ribly disappointed.
Friday morning Cordes withdrew hi
plea of not guilty to murder in the frs
degree and entered one of guilty to man
slaughter in the third degree. Judg
Brady said that the case was a peculia
one. The law applying to it, he remark
ed, was that if the prisoner intended to in
flict death when he made the stab a
Hauck from which Dunn died, that h
was, under the statute, guilty of murde
in the first degree. If his intention
was not to kill but to infict some gray
bodily injury in the heat of passion
then it was only manslaughter in thir
degree. His Honor's experience of tn
leniency of the conscience Of the moder
juryman taught him to believe that thel
was no use in asking them for flu
verdict, and, as the prisoner confesse
to about all they would be likely to fin
him guilty of, he thought it best to al
cept the plea. He therefore did so, d.
lived temperance lecture, adverted
the fact that the knife and the pist
appeared to be used as the favorite pa
time of New Workers and should be di
couraged. He therefore sentenced hi
to four years Imprisonment with han
labor in the State Prison, thereby dissaI
pointing all those who would punish ii
poor, ignorant, not religiously traint
murderer, that the law might. be Wind
Gated. Truly this is a great countl
and New York is the metropolis;
would not do to advertise premiums f
murder as that would be infringme
upon the laws against lotteries, and thu
are enforced But this is the next THU
to it.

Arrangements have at last been per-
fected for the payment of the last fifth
000,000-of the war indemnity ex-
acted from France by Germany. 1t is
expected that the entire territory, includ-
ing the fortress of Belfort, will be freed
from German occupation by the second
week of September. 1t was on Feb. 26,
1871, that the preliminaries of treaty
of peace between France and Germany
were signed at Versailles. Should the
entire indemnity be paid over by the
time now agreed on, it will represent the
most extraordinary financial operation,
effected after disastrous war, known to
modern history. 1t will be equivalent
to the payment within thirty -one months
of 81 900, 100000, or at the rate of S32,-
100000 per month. Counting from the
capitulation of Paris, the peaceful occu-
patton of French territory by German
troops will, by September next, have
lasted thirty-two months.

The goth May Declaration.

We see that q writer in the Raleigh
Sentinel of last week, over the signature
of ''Historicus," seems to be surprised
and rather disgusted if not s'amused"
that the Charlotte Democrat, Whining
ton Journal and Raleigh News should
object to and find fault with Mr.. Good
loe's letters written to prove that there
was 10 Declaration of Independence
made in Charlotte. N. c., on the Goth
Nav, 1775. We think the Rev. DR..
Hawks and others have clearly estab-
liehed the authenticity of the Goth May
Declaration, and we know the late Gov.
Swain endorsed DIR Hawks views
They were both at the celebration in
Charlotte on the Goth May, 1857 ,and we
then heard Gov. Swain express his
qualification that the Goth May Decla-
ration had been established. We say
this because we see it stated that Gov.
Swain did not believe in the genuine
ness Of the goth May Declaration.
\ highly Intelligent gentleman, who
has lived in Charlotte over SO years,
told us the other day that at cele-
bration in Charlotte on the Goth May,
1885, nc sa2C in procession seventy-five
persons who were present when the
Declaration was made on the Goth May
I'VE, and who testified that the meet
ing on the 31st of May was an adjourn
cli one from the Goth.
At the risk of disgusting or amusing
"Historicus," Mr.. Goodloo, and all
others concerned in the attempt to de-
prive North Carolina of proper credit.
we repeat that it is too late, if not. i'm
proper, to undertake to discredit the
Declaration of May Goth,
Butwe commenced this article merely
for the purpose of saying that gentle
man has prepared reply to Mr.. Good
1oe'.; letters, in which we think he
shows that Mr. Goodloe is wrong in
disputing the Goth May Declaration
We shall publish the reply next week,

Wheeler,S History,

Messrs Editors In behalf OF that
class of North Carolinians who have
felt enough interest in her history to
read what has been, written and ap-
preciate whatever has been done to
collect and preserve that history, I
desire to thank you for your remarks
in the "Weekly Journal of this date
in regard to Colonel Wheeler's
Sketches. have been accustomed
to read the work ever since its first
publication more than twenty years
ago, and during that time there has
been SO much ridicule and abuse
heaped upon it that have regarded
my fondness for the book as something
clandestine, pleasure 70 be enjoyed
in very quiet way and by no means
to be avowed openly. Latterly, how
ever, since I learned to properly esti-
mate the opinions of the average every
day critic, I have never hesitated to
express my high appreciation of the
work and to-day it occupies front
position among my books of reference.
My book shelf is not long one, but
I prize this work of Col. Wheeler's as
among the most valuable that I have,
and as one which no North CarOlinian
ought to be without. A new edition
brought up to date will be a most ac-
ceptable contribution to our home lit
erature and if our citizens will read
it with half the care and attention it
merits, it will no doubt awaken much
interest in the subject of State history
and arouse little of that State pride
SO common in other States and SO sad
ly wanting in our own.
The common objection to Wheeler's
History, that it is SO largely made up
of dry statistics, is no objection at all
to the patient searcher after informa-
ton. True, the plan is perhaps not a
very historical one, but the book is
none the less valuable on that account.
The general narrative is about as full
and complete as that of any previous
publication; and in its distinctive
features there is vast fund of infOr-
nation and minuteness of detail
which can nowhere else be found. And
one peculiar merit it possesses which
not even it's most illiberal traducer will
deny-H is reliable. I have in 10y
possession copy of the work, once
the property of gentleman Of fine
literary culture and taste,-a citizen of
this place, now deceased, and the
constantly recurring marginal notes,
in pencil, show that he was one of
those who read and appreciated the
book, and valued it even for its slight
biographical sketches of our local
''great men," NORMAN.
