We find in tile last Macon TtIcgyu},h
an expression of views in regard to the
great modern scandal trial so thor
oughly III accord with our own that
We reprint them with full endorse
ment.
Says our contemporary:
1t is with real regret that anything
relating to the disreputahle career of
ths fallen apostle of Christ has been
ad mitted into these columns. Ana the
little that has been given to our read
ers, disgusting as are the details in
every particular, has been tolerated,
only because it is necessary as the
chronieler Of passing events, to sketch
tn salient points of case more no
tOriOns than the trial Of the celebrated
East India magnate, Warren Hastings.
How much religion, morality and
purity have suffered from the pru
rient recitals Of the New York daily
press il their minnie accounts of the
q ebasing incidents Of this trial, eter-
nifty on! Y can reveal It is sufficient to
say that not only is every phase of the
diabollcal tale of free love, adultery
and sickeping depravity, spread forth
before millions of readers nv morn
ing at the breakfast table, bnt it is re-
lated that young gjr.e, members of re-
Specialize semlnaries, congregate at
the doors of the court room, and with
the curiosity of Mother Eve, seek to
learn what is being revealed on the
witness stand
The fountains of public morals have
been poisoned by these ntterances.
and we should not be surprised if
many more of the weaker sex. be
gulIed by the statements of the WELD
ing and credulous Mrs. Tilton, do not
share her fate, under the basilisk gaze
and insidi0us teachings of snhflo
tempters like the famous Plymouth
church preacher.
This Beecher .fasco is the greatest
calamity that conld have been visited
upon the present generation. 1t has
attacked and impaired the sanctity of
the pulpit degraded the holy rela-
ton of husband and wife-corrupted
virgin pnrity-lowered the standard
OF public morals, and proved a very
Pandofa's box, letting loose world of |
mischief and iniquity. Would that it
we're possible to bring to condigu pun
Ishment the reverend impostor, and
all who were his aiders and abettors
N that sombre tale of sin and infamv,
But the law is very uncertain, and it
would not be surprising if Henry
Ward Beecher ie allowed to escape I'M
whiptof justice, and continue his sacred
with more eclat than
ever.
In our humble judgment, he would
hen be the best impersonation of
Anti Christ the world has ever beheld.

of North Carolina for the establish

The memorial was transmitted to the

OF the Supreme Court, affirming the
validity of their appointments, deem it
their duty TO call the attention of the
Assembly TO the condition of the

IS derived from the sale Of the land

viding colleges for the benefit of
agriculture and the mechanics arts.

The negro MADISON, who is Senator
from Edgecombe in the present Gen
eral Assembly, informs his sable con-
stitueuts that the negroes of Whining
ton intend to resist with arms the en-
forcement Of the amendments to the
Wilmington City Charter, and advises
the same to be done by the negroes
of Tarboro in case similar amendments
are made to the charter of that town.
which he says are proposed
We do not quote the incendiary Ian
guage of this negro to warn our citi-
zens of impending danger. Negroes
in our midst, and their miserable, de-
PRAYED and disgraced white associates,
are doing enough to stir up strife be-
TWEEN the races, but we want the people
of this State and of the North to see
who among us seek to SOW the wind
may reap the whirlwind.
The Tarboro Enquirer saws in re-
gard to MADISON:
A few evenings ago in the Court
House at this place he made a speech
of a most incendiary character. In
abiding to bill recently passed by
the Legislature establishing wards in
the city of Wilmington, he asserted
that the colored inhabitants had deter
mined to prohibit its operation by
1orclble resistance; furthermore, that
a bill similar in its nature would soon
,oe presented relating to the town of
marlborough, urging upon it's colored
catlzens In the event of its passage to
take up arms and follow an example
anat would be set for them BY men Of
neir color IN the city alluded to; that
II they themselves failed to resist |
such an outrage upon their rights, the
negroes IN the county would take the
matter IN hand, which would bring
about conflict that he would not un- !
reluctantly welcome.

THE NEXT SENATE.

We publish elsewhere full CLASH
fed list of the new Senate, except the
vacancy which still exists IN the Lou
isiana delegation. The new Senate
will meet on the 9Th OF March, IN
special session, by virtue of procia-
nation from the President to that
effect.
The Republicans are much alarmed
in regard to its control. There are
twenty-eight Democrats in total OF
seventy-three, not including the
Louisiana vacancy. But this nominal
Radio Il majority includes such Sena"
tors as Robertson, of South Carolina;
Conover. of Florida; Alcorn. of Mis-
s;ssippi: Booth, of California; Hamll-
ton, of Texas; Ferry, of Connecticut;
Christiancy, of Michigan; Cameron, OF
Wisconsin; Paddock, of Nebraska,
and Sharon, of Nevada, none
of WHOM can be counted on
for the revolutionary Radical pro
pramme. In order to overcome
this tendency the Republicans are en-
deavoring to get i'll two rotten borough
States-Colorado and New Moxlco-by
which they hope to get four Radical
Senators. Both these Territories
together, counting Indians, negroes,
CARPET baggers, and natives of all
crosses, have not the population OF a
Congressional district, and 1t IS not
probable that in tAe next half century
the revenue derived from both States
would be sufficient to pay the salary,
mileage, pickings and steaiings of one
Senator. Colorado can support only
a sparse population east Of the Rocky
Mountains, and in what is kno wn as
the "Parks," west and southwest OF
Denver; while New Mexico is still less
inviting to emigration, having only a
few GASES scattered amid its volcanic
deserts. Speaking of Il Gen. Hazen
saws that the whole American pOpula-
ton of New Mexico, less the army, Its
haneers-on, and transient miners,
could sit in the shade of a good sized
apple tree. These are certainly poor
materials out of which to make States OF
this glorious Union. But these deserts
will be make to grow fine crop OF
Radical third term Presidential cleo
tors, Senators and Representatives.
Each State will be entitled to two Sena-
tors, and, at least, one loyal Represent
alive.
The executive session of the Senate
called for the 9Th of March, though
ostensibly for the confirmation of Fed,
eral appointments and the considera-
ton of the Hawaiian treaty, is really
to test the panty fealty OF the new
Senators. A considerable number oil
them are new men, some OF them
elected by Democratic support, and il
is very important for the President tc
know how far he can rely on them tc
support him, in the event that the
Force Bill is not passed, and the Lou
isiana and Arkansas troubles are
turned over to him for settlement
The President already feels that he
will soon tread on uncertain ground
aud that possibly there might bt
danger in these independents and In
dependent Republicans.

this rather singular aI!mcnt she was

She was lying on bed, and awake,
but suffering from debility, having
been aroused too soon from one OF
those p, riodica1 sleeps. The mother
stated that the first attack occurred on
the 8til of august, 1873, wien Emma
fell asleep, and IN spite Of all that
could be done TO rouse her, she slept
four days, and at the tIme OF aVakiug
she got up and went about her work
