A SHORT Road TO THE GAn1ows. -
The New York Journal Of Commerce de-
mands speedy trial for every murderer
that is now in the Tombs:
These men gave no time. no. warning
to their victims. when they shot them
down; and no more than justice would
have been done upon the assassins had
they been tried, convicted and hanged
within twenty.four honrs thereafter.
Time is the one favor that all the mur-
derers ask; time to prove they are in.
sane; time for witnesses to die; time for
healthy public feeling to subside. But
il time is valuable to them in escaping
justice, it is far more precious to the
poaoeful and orderly men who live in
constant danger from knife and slung-
shot, 80 long as these butchers remain
unhanged. Altogether too much time
has already been given to King, Scannell
and the rest of the murderers in the
Tombs. Under better state of things
with such court as we desire to see
established in this city for the exclusive
and speedy trial of felons-about twenty
men, now in arrears Of the hanging that
that they deserve, would be on q short
roRd to the gallows.

While thinking OF the blind. the dumb
and the insane, let us not forget the
poor imbeoile, who, perhaps, Of all Of
them, Is most entitled to our sympathy.
I call upon the General Assembly to do
its duty. eve plead for those who can
not plead for themselves" "Blessed are
the merciful; for they shall obtain
mercy" In this matter of providing for
the unfortunate GLASS to whom I have
alluded, the Assembly can scarce do
wrong. It is noble work, and COM
mends itself to all. It addresses itself to
the good OF oil ranks and classes; for
while it embraces, as objects OF benef.
conoe, the whole family of the unfortu-
nate, it oultivates at the same time those
virtuous affections which constitute the
true glory Of man and the only solid
foundation OF happiness. I would. in
conclusion, most respectfully suggest
that fit and competent person be sent
to the North, with the view of procuring
all the information necessary for the es
tabiishment OF school among US.

BLOODY AFFAIR R-On last Wednesday
evening, abont 6 o'clock. the quiet. vii.
lage of Whiteburge, Ga, was thrown
into state OF great excitement, over the
sad result Of ON alteration between Geo.
Grey and Andrew Sims. in which the
latter was mortaliy shot. They we're
neither of them twenty years OF ago.
Young Sims fingered until Thursday,
and expired. The cause OF the difficulty
was an old grpdge and liquor. The
murderer made his escape, and is still at
large.
FREsHET IN THE CAPE FKAR.-The
heavy rains OF Saturday and Sunday last
had the effect to considerably increase
the already heavy freshet in the river,
and the water ID still rising. One report
has it that at Fayetteville, from Saturday
night to Sunday morning, there was a
rise of twenty feet. Yesterday, q good
deal OF stock was noticed on different
knolls along the river, being surrounded
by water, and it was expected that they
would be washed of during last night.
Says the Southerner: In the year 1867,
freshet occurred in the Tar River,
which reaohed height at Tarboro be-
yond the memory of the 'oldest inhabi-
sequently. caused much damage to the
growing crops. Another freshet is now
raging. which promises to equal, il not
surpass, that of 1867. Yesterday even
ing, the flood had come within a few
inches OF the high water mark of that
year, and was still rising.
ANOTHER MURDER One Levy Souls,
in drunken fit, murdered, on one day
last week, one Noah Sutton. Souls is in
Jail, awaiting the reward of bis crime.

4 DEop (NoT) OF CoMRoRr re-
sponse to remark of the Richmond
Journal that "the term carpet bagger
ought to be dropped" several 'disloyul"
persons have made the remark. that they
think the oarpet-bagger himself, III
many instances needs the "dropI" which
is very cruel indeed.
Commenting on this, tho Baltimore
Sun says: When we happen to hear any
thing of that sort drop" we'll let you
know. Justice is not very sure, nova
days.

Fox and Ward gave their inlmitable
plantation dance; its eize was wonderful
when the charming musio Of bnrleeque

wards trummed tho banjo, increasing as
he gave US the old camp meeting song:
awful to contemplate was its roupdness
and size as Fox and Wsrd sladiatored.
and when James social calls vound M
the illuminated internal machine, it was
large enough for the large audience to
have big share in it, and they shared It
with hearty good will-every; one of
them.

Now, gentle reader, does not all this
look very much like q miraole2 In the
course of long official connection with
the insane, I have seen hundreds re-.
stored to reason, to society and to their
families and friends; and these results I
have always regarded as signal displays
Of the power of love under the blessing
OF an All.merciful God. South Curo-
lima was among the first Of tho States to
provide an asylum for the insane. She
has much in her paft history to inspire o
feeling Of pride and furnish solid
foundation for the true glory of oom-
monwealth. The founding Of this insti-
tuition for the insane, I regard rs one of
her proudest monuments. 1t hos had
an existence of half century, and serv-
lug, as it did, for many years as retreat
for the unfortunates of many OF the ad-
Joining States, who can set limits TO the
good which it has aocOnplished? I am
happy to believe that it is now we'll ad-

Of its establishment. But, to take care
of the imbecile, is still nobler charity.
Let tho State do something for them.
There must be special schools, whero the
training can be carried on regularly and
systematioally. It is duty to which We
are urged by every motive OF sympathy
and humanity. There is no affllction

THE FIRE ORDINANCE.

Tho Fire wzrdcns to bc Called to nc.
-count--The Mayor Requested to Re
move Lumber Yards from the
Streets.
Tho Board OF Police held one Of their usual
conversational meetings yesterday afternoon,
aud talked about tile Fire Wardens. It scems
that these ofdcials hare either neglected their
duties, or have 60 much to attend to as to be un-
able to notify al who violate tho provisions Of
the Fire ordinance. Hence, something must be
done The conclusion the Board reached Was
not divnlged- Changes will probably ba made,
and the Council asked to appoint sufficient
number OF mon to enforce the ordinance as it
should bo enforced: TIM Board prepared the
subjoined letter, and sent it to the Mayor:
MAYOR M1p1LL: We desire to call your attention to
the, blockadang OF streets with lumber There are
many streets which practically uscd lumber
danger Of confagrauon spreading than from filing
streets with lumber; while ut the same time this
obstruction prevents the free movement aud uso Of
our engines In case Of fire. It would appear By
OF the Legislature to be tho duty Of tho Mayor
and Board Of Public Works to prevent said obstruc-
Hons, and we would respectfully ask you to cali tho
attention Of .tha Board Of Public Works to the sub
tec; and would be only too willing to assist by the
poce In any order measure you might devise in tho
premises.
The Mayor will do as requested; but the Board
OF Public Works have been asked several times
to remove these obstructions, and it is doubtful
il they can be awakened from their lethargio
condit ton.
