Was IT SELF-DEFENcE 9--In anothe
column our correspondent " r." broad
ly intimates that the recent killing o
Marcelin Granger, by Homer Lognon
near the Mernentau river, if judicially
investigated, may present very diff
ferent version of the homicide from
that which we published at the time
and denies that the killing of Granger
has given general satisfaction along
the Mermentau river. lie also objects
to our allusion to Granger as !" the
Mermentau bull" The latter appella.
ton was not ours, We first heard il
applied to Granger several years ago,
and since then VIC have heard his ac.
.quaintauccs use it 50 often 10 speaking
Of him that it is certain he was well
known BY that designation.
The records Of our District Court
show that Granger was indicted for
murder a few years ago, and though
he was acquitted, avery different verdict
was confidently expected by those who
heard the testimony On the trial, and
he was credited, very generally, with a
still more heinous crime, several years
ago.
Perfectly familiar with most Of these
facts, when large number of citizens
came hcresfrom the Mernentau river,
shortly after his death, including some
Of the best citizens ipsthat neighbor-.
hood, and al agreed that he was killed
strictly il sclf7defencc, we gave, with
out tile slightest idea Of doing any
possible ipjustica their version Of the
homicide, believing ii strictly true.
Lognon came to town immediately
after the homicide, surrendered him
self to the authorities, had his pre-
iiIninary examination before justice 4.

proof that the killing was done iu self
defence.

THE conviction of Carberry of man
slaughter for shooting Adams without
provocation, marks an advanced step IN
criminal trials in our State. lie IS said
to be the first white man convicted IN
capital charge against colored man III
New Castle county in a range of thirty or
forty years. The same may be said posi-
blv for the other counties. 1t looks like
a possibility of reaching equal justice.
Uarberry was evidently resting his chance
of escape in race prejudice, as expressed
in his violent denunciatiOn of the Court
and Attorney General Gray, whom he
blamed for his conviction. He evidently
expected a weak prosecution because he
was white and the man whom he slew
only "nigger." The charge of Judge
Comegey' s about the free use of the pistol
that it could only be used when there was
no chance Of escape left from an attack
will have q salutary influence.

IN the death of Samuel Townsend,
sometimes called the sage of Appoquini-

sturdy oaks. Mr.. Townsend was pecu-
liarly himself; strong in personal force,
dominant in will, intolerant of opposi-
tion, terrible in invective, Of large brain,
bat of little or no discipline, yet he was a
man naturally kind to those who were
obedient TO his authority, generous to
his neighbors and large-souled in all
causes he espoused. lie delighted in an
tagonisms and hence was at home and
happy in the midst of stirring events, and
if there was not little hurricane he could
very soon make one He had that force
(which belongs to leaders in politics, and
with a good education and less excitability
and bluntness of manners, he might very
easily have arisen to prominence. He
contended for his way in politics but
steadily refused any of the emOluments Oi

tax. Indeed, it is difficult to name any
other mode of raising so large revenue
which would add as little to the cost of
living or of production in this country,
and which would therefore throw less inn
pediment in the way of the development
of our industries. Our manufactures need
protection to the point of stability and
success under judicious management, but
to sacrifice health, peace morals and econ
omy in living to the sordid interests of
single class, our people ought not, and we
believe will not submit to.

THE disadvantages of hasty legisla-
ton is shown in the passage OF the Pen
sion Arrears bill 1t was political meas
ure lobbied by claim agents, the estimated
cost to the Nation being $2O,0OO,OOO. The
Treasury has been set upon as with the
hungry tooth of sharks; claims have been
made on all manner OF devises and the
Commissioner of Pensions now estimates
that it will require s235,O 100000 to pay the
remainder of the claims Senator Sauls-
bury very rightly opposes any further
nassing of such outrageous bills.

THE TARIFF CoNvETTTOE. The Tariff
Convention heid last vc + to~ meeting
of more than usual jInpOTtance-if there
is any force behind the movement, and
The indications are that there is. They
met ostensibly inthe interest OF a high
tariff, ready apparently to sacrifice every
thing else TO obtain this end. The ques-
ton of tariff has been prominent one in
our politics for the last fifty years, but
Clay and gClayton's ideas Of adequate
protection never prevailed permanently
until the civil war made it a necessity.
The tariff for revenue" policy is as high
as the mass Of agriculturist especially OF
the West have been willing TO 20. but in
this convention d series Of resolutions
were reported by the high protectiohist
for sweeping abolition Of internal reve-
nue. taxes on whiskey, tobacco, &C., and
raise the revenues for the running of the
Government from duties on importations
The effect would be to cheaper whiskey
and tobacco things that are not necessary
and raise the price on all necessary arti
eles for comfort and business, for tho
higher the tariff the higher the per cent
on all articles purchased. True, the reso
lutions was laid on the table, but enough
was done TO show what a certain class o
men have in their minds. The Govern
ment is not now nor is it likely for man,
years to be in position to abolish thi
source of revenue with safety. It obtain
ed sl35, 5,0000oo last year from the take
which it is proposed to abolish. TIL,
taxes on whiskey and tobacco are wisel,
