THE HANGING IN VIRGINIA.
DEBATE IN THE HOUSE OF DELEGATES.

DLDA IL IN linz upOpL VI DEbENA
Richmond (Va) special to the Cincin-
natl Enquirer: There was quite a sharp
debate in the House of Delegates this even
ing over the recent lynching of the negro
Arthur Gordon, in Fauquier county. r.
G. 5. Paige, negro member, offered reso--
luton reciting that such lynching was done
in the absence of any proof of the accused
having violated the law, and calling upon
the Governor to bring the lynchers to trial
The resolution alluded to the recent lynch
ing of two negroes, one in Amherst and the
other in Fauquier. In offering the resolu-
ton Paige asked those present to imagine
such picture as lady riding on horse
back, she in front and the negro behind her;
and to imagine
She said the negro offered her some indie
cencies, but there was no proof of that
but mob took that negro and hung him.
He then went on to say; "Another negro
was hung in Fauquier because he took
walk with lady, They put him to tree
and hung him"
"Now, Mr., Speaker, We don't exactly like
that kind of hanging. If the sons of Saba
ra are to be hung, we think this Legislature
might do something by which it might be
done more respectfully. We don't like this
tree business. want to ask the Governor to
do his duty" Then, turning to the white
members, he said ''If negro marries
somebody who wants to marry him punish
him for it, but will have something to say
about that hereafter you white men are
doing something wrong; you are making a
race of bastards that sooner or later proba-
bly, may rate over you. A man that is
acquainted with Richmond as we'll as | am
as we'll acquainted with some of the actions
of my white brethren of this house before
me, can afford to say it is wrong"
General Payne, an ex-Confederate. re-.
piled to Paige, and in the course of his re-
marks said "This man who YVES executed
in Warrenton the other night was a married
man with colored wife, The woman who
he is said to have seduoed and carried away
is white woman and an idiot. He was
in the employment of the father, and using
his power and position in the house in
which he was employed as a servant. he
seduced this idotio child and carried her
out of the State as his mistress. While |
strongly condemn mob law, yet when such
a thing as that happens l will turn nv
back and shut my eyes for a few minutes
while the operations are going ON.
APPLAUSE When rape was perpetrated
he was never willing that the woman should
be subjected to the horror of detailing the
circumstances or the outrage before a gan-
ing crowd, but justice will be executed. and
ought to be executed by the indignant
community, repeat as my opinion, and
one would be willing to act upon, whether
1t is a son of Sahara or white man, that
ne who is guilty of rape upon a woman,
white or colored, the nearest tree and the
best rope is what he should have"
This sentiment was greeted with great
applause. The House refused to pass
Pages resolution and it was referred to
Committee.

The matter of the Vicksburg and Ship
Island Railroad of which so much has been
said and written, there is good reason now
to believe that the road will be built in a
few years, if the State can be induced to
lend-~not exactly aid-but counteDance to
the enterprise. This can be done by grant
ing the right of way" to the Gulf, and by
utilizing the convict labor to grade the
roap bed. ST. Louis capitalists are ready
10 advance the necessary amount of money
with which to purchase all road material
and rolling stock, they only asking for
stock in the road, The proposed road
would indeed be goose which would lay

road to the coast. Our Representative.
Mr.. Seal, Is chairman of the penitentiary
committee, and will use his best endeayors
to further the interests of his section. He
is laboring hard in the matter and will
make strong efforts to have to have the
convict labor applied to this railroad work.
He is also working for other plans, all of
them having in view results of benefit to
the coast His labors thus far truly prove
that he is representative man, and the
confidence reposed in him by his constita-
ents to that end will not be misplaced. The
latter remarks will also apply to Wood, of
Jackson county, and to Leslie, of Hancock
county, both ofwhom are doing their best to

vast bed of minerals and tha,
nowhere are they to be tound in
such abundance as in North Caro-

known kind are here, and on bis

never before noticed. Among the
rarest of the discoveries were Mons

Regarding the first mentioned OF
these Prot. Edison had just pre-
vionsly written Prof. Hidden that
he must have Monazite ; that Prof.
Dana had said there were not two
ounces OF it in the laboratories OF
the world, but he (Edison) was
compelled to have it. At the

Time to Think.

"One of the most common defects
in the training of girls writes i.
mother who has proved her right
to he counsellor in this important
work, 8 is that thev are not brought
up to live alone" to stay at homo
in heir own minds From baby
hood they are watched, tended, mo-
ticed, guarded, never let alone.
Even young infants are not so much
as ermitted to think ont the mys-
teries of a door-knob but are To s.
ed up, their little trains of thought
interrupted, their solitude contin-
valiy invaded. Let little girl be
left to herself hours of every day,
near to loving friends who havo
some other occupation than watch-
ing and advising her, and she will
invent boundless resources and be
never so happy. Solitude is me-.
cesslty to the formation of char
acter,"
There is food for reflection in
these words for all who have the
care of children. The pr vilege
of solitude is not enjoyed by manv
children of either sex in our towns
and cities. If they are not mingling
in the exciting labors or sports Of
the crowded schools, they are play
ing in the streets, or with their
mates in their own homes some
social diversion fills mp nearly all
the the leisure hours OF every day
and when there are no playmates
at hand the mother must give
mp her time to their amusement.
Too much effort to direct every
thought and action of the child, too
little opportunity for the develel-
ment Of its own individuality
doubtless these are the reasons Tor
the feebleness of many charactees,
Indeed most Of the young peo-
pie of our larger towns become
wholly incapable of spending any
time by themselves. The moment
their companions are out of sight
and the etfors to direct them have
ceased, they are Festle.s and miser-
able. Nothing but an exciting
novel will reconcile them TO ex-
istence. This s largely due, no
doubt, to the attractions of social
sport which take hold So strongly
of the natures of active young pco-
Pile, but it is also the result in part
nf the too persistent watchfulness "f
parents III the child's earliest years,
by which the child is never left tn
itself or taught to prize the sweet
delights of solitude.
This is one Of the disadvantages
which the children Of the cities are
compelled to undergo. The coun-
try boys and girls have muck time
tn themselves; and while their
minds often lack the aleltness that
is produced by the brisk social
commerce of the cites, it is possible
that they sometimes gain III vIg'r
and power Of concentration more
than they lose in nimbleness ana
wit. The fact is that the majorTtv
of the men and women WHO are at
the head of affairs in the nat:al.
were trained in the eoartry, and
while their SUCCESS is largely due To
the fact that they learned to work
iii their youth, it is due in part, no
doubt, to the fact, that they had in
their younger days a good deal Of
time to think.
