when the wants Of man were simpler

have grown into towns, and the towns
into cities, and railroads bear daily
burden Of freight to q mans door, .or the
express, Quickened by the electric mes
sage, is a 0eeter servant still, man has
grown impatient OF delay. With an
appreciation Of the value Of money and
the disaster Of long credits, more rapid
settlements arc insisted on, and The

TIlELYNCHING OF WILLIAMS.
A Voice From Cabell.
WHEELING, January "a. 1876

" HEELiNOi OdnudIy 81. lOiO.
Editors of the Register:
Your paper of this morning contains d
Geographic account Of the hanging, by q
mob, of man at Barboursville, Cabell
county, on Saturday night last. The
same paper contains some editorial CON-
ments on the unfortunate occurrence,
probably just and proper. But depre-
eating US seriously as any one such an
unfortunate interruption of the usual
course of the law, and especially the ex.
istence of an isolated case that gave the
proyocation and the justification, if such
there could be, by the course pursued, we
desire to ask the suspension of the pub
lie judgment on the case until
ali the facts are known.
The gallant, brave and honest people
composing the community where this
event occurred should not be rashly con-
demned Tor this hasty action in this mat
ter. They have been called upon to wit
ness several gross and daring violations
of tho law in their midst, and this most
atrocious, nhuman and infamous murder
being suddenly thrust upon them at their
very doors, it is not so much to be won.
dered at that they asserted and exercised
what they conceived to be the law Of self
defense. 1t is easy for a man in his cool
and collected moments to condemn the
frantic acts of one in passion, but "Put
yourself in his place" and it is different.
We venture to say that no man engaged
in this unfortunate affair stands below
any average law-abiding citizen of the
State in moral character and personal in
tegrity. CABELL.

Brother SHINY viii probably 60 on Che
next Republican State ticket, = candi-
data for Auditor, and the only obiecsion
that we Have to seeing sHiNN get the
nomination is that he is rather too good
a fellow to be so badly beaten as that
ticket will be next fall. Leaving Graf.
ton we stopped at the quiet little city
of Clarksburg, taking quarters at the
hotel of our genial host WALKER, who
keeps tavern of the olden time-plenty
Of good eating, comfortable sleeping
apartments and an old fashioned way OF
making everybody feel al home. Clarks-
burg has quiet. smooth way Of moving
along-making no noise, yet everybody
apparently busy-that is really com.
mendable. She also has a supply OF
great men and can furnish as much ma
terial for Congressman, Governors,
Judges, &c, as either Lewisburg or Par
kersburg, or, that is, she thinks she can.
Judge HOFFMAN, of the Supreme Court,
who resides here, is in very feeble health.
The wheat crop along the road looks
green and is doing finely this warm, open
weather; even the grass seems to be
growing little.
1t is thought by the farmers that the
fruit trees have not sufficiently budded
yet to be in any danger, but if the
weather keeps as warm much longer
there will be possibility Of having an.
other 'otf year" on fruit. The farmers
who had good supply of Fall grass
have fed their cattle very little, but those
| who did not have supply of grass are
complaining ofthe cattle declining, ashley
seem to have no appetite for dry food
and consequently eat but little hay OF
straw. Might not ."morning bitter
be the thing in such cases?
We are gratified to find our Demo.
cratic friends in good political trim up
in the interior of the State, and all pre-.
dict a grand Democratic victory next
Fall. The Harrison county Democrats
are making an effort to establish paper
at Clsrksburg under the control of Mr.
ScoTT, of Wheeling. 1t seems that our
Democratic trends in the good old county
of Harrison ought to support good local

THE CABELL COUNTY LYNCHING
CASE.

1t is with pleasure that we give space
to the communication of "Cabell" vim
dicating the action of the people of
Barboursville in hanging the murderer
Williams. Our article Of yesterday was
not intended to reflect upon the citizens
OF that section, for as stated, we know
that The murder was most atrocious and
the aggravation very great. But we
condemn lynch law on general princi-
piles. There may have been instances
when its working proved beneficial, as
in the case of the Vigilance Commute
ofCalifornia where law, order and every
thing else that was decent was set at de-
fance by gang of desperadoes. But a
different State of affairs exists in West
Virginia, and such conduct on the part of
our people creates the impression abroad
that we are lawless people and brings
our State into disrepute. We
have laws fixing penalties for
all grades of crime. We have Courts to
administer the laws; we have prosecu-
tors TO prosecute all violators of the law;
we can have intelligent juries to give the
accused fair trial, and then we have
officers to execute the judgments of
the Court; and why not let even the
worst criminal be condemned by the
usual forms of law, and accord to him all
rights guaranteed by the Constitution of
the State. 1t is true, in many instances
the worst offenders escape the just pun
i,hment that our laws provide for them,
but there is a way TO correct all these
evils. The people can always elect up
right judges, competent prosecutors, and
see that intelligent jurors are selected.
When this is done there will
be no danger. Besides 1t is
better that ninety-nine guilty men
escape than that one inuo;ent man
should suffer. And 1t sometimes happens
that an excited mob executes an iEnocent
ndividual-slthongh we have no idea
that such was the case in this particular
instance. Placed in the same position,
other communities would doubtless have
done the same thing, but that does not
make it right. We have no reason to
deny the assertion of our correspondent
that those who engaged in this unfortu-
nate proceeding stand equal "with any
average law-abiding citizens of the State
in moral character and personal integ-
rity:" The simple fact that in all that
excited mob, under the peculiar excite
ment incident to such scenes, not one
man was found to place the rope around
the neck of the guilty womsn-is
evidence that there was refined feeling
and a soft touch Of nature in the heart
OF each man on the ground.
