THE DANGERS OF LYNtIi LAW.

come aggravated cases that seem almost to
offer extenuation for Lynch law. But it is
a rash conclusion for any body Of men to
arrive at, and destroys the power and
force Of the whole jlry system. Cases Of
it are more exceptional now than in years
gone by, when the rough ideas Of law in
the West made every man ajudge to sit in
Judgment upon the body OF any one who
had offended the law. Such summary &C.
ton was almost necessary TO break up the
lawlessness that made that country the
home ofbanditti. But not only does thi:
bar''ari custom still prevail in that coun-
try TO some extent, but extends into the
- t where we are supposed to have more
cultivated ideas Of civilization than in the
rough Nesrern country. There are many
who have been consigned to an untimelv
end by these sei!c-conStituted committees
Of the law, that were innocent of the
crimes imputed to them, and those who
were the executioners and imp,i ,ated in
the matter became worse criminals than he
who is often launched into eternity.
Even ii it were in everyway justified it
has its dangers in the way We have just
mentioned, and instances Of this have oc-
Cured twice within this month. One was
in Ohio where man was hung by a mob
for outraging and numbering young girl
as it was alleged, and it was afterwards
proven tha. it was not he but his wife that
corAmitted the deed through Jealousy. The
other wa, in New Hampshire where man
named Drew was arrested, charged with
outraging and numbering Miss Lang
mead. 1t was with the utmost difficulty
that an angry mob was restrained from
lynching him aud j. now turns out that he
is innocent and will be discharged from
custody. Instances Of this kind have been
Numerous, and show the dangers OF Lynch
law

must confess that wus startled at the

Mr.. Fitzpatrick was equity, and too irrita-

ringly. and that in consequence OF the SOW
movements of Mr.. Barlow, it would be I'M
possible for him to get out Of the way os
blow, the affair was to be settled
by dummy engines, and that the
scene of the encounter would be
the Frankfort road, where the lIarrowgate
disaster occurred. This version, indeed,
seemed to be the popular one, and large
amounts of money began to change hands
among the politicians and sporting men
upon the result. 1t was stated, however,
that Mr.. Fitzpatrick, who is a very willy
old chap, had made arrangements to jump
off his machine as soon as it was started,
so that ho might enjoy the annihilation Of
Barlow without damage 10 himself. This
intelligence caused the odds to flow in his
favor. Tkese were accepted by Barlow's
hackers, who were informed authori.a-
lively that their man meant to do the same
thing. Thus does the matter stand at pres

sixty miles an hour EBLASUs.

upon the part Of the people the manager
Of Il theatre has no reason for ambition IN
presenting the very bes; companies that the
theatrical market offers. The manager ol
the Opera House states thai he has had
such stars here As Edwin and Junius
Bru:us Booth playing in these
Snakspercan characters most pnpniaE
with The american people, and
they were rewarded with houses OF
hardly sufficient size to pay expenses
Such actors as these are Of large reputa-
t;on, and the mere mention Of their names
in = ost cities, will attract fine audiences
BIZ, i, appears that such is not the case IN
Wilmington, and the Opera House must
play POOR companies per force Of circum-
stances.
To say the least, it shows very poor
spsrit Of enterprise upon the part OF the
peopls. The Opera House is feature Of
ornamen, to our city and with the people
remains the rendering Of the verdict
whether it shall he well sustained or not.
1t all depends upon theirliberality, which
is the only true manner Of showing inter-
est in any enterprise that is dependent
upon public patronage for support, and If
they do not exhibit such encouragement
then the management Of the Opera House
is not at all to blame for not presenting
greater attractions than he does, but is sem
sible for letting the responsibility rest just
where it does with the people.

The case OF John Bough was argued yesterday

in April succeeding leaving the name Of the grantee
blank, and gave permission that the name OF any
purchaser should De inserted as grantee. Sub.
sequently Bougn purchased the property and
his name was inserted as grantee. Bough
discovered that the property he purchased was

Allison for a correct deed. Allison applied to
Reed for a correct deed and subsequently received
a new deed correcting the error Ia the FIRST deed.
