CITY SIN.-Life in the Northern
cities appears to be fast developing the
ATS of Sodom and Gomorrah. The
past week has b,el specially pro-
ductive of scandalous affairs. In Phila-
delphia. a fine looking intelligent man
was found, sense'ess, and naked. on the
steps of an hospital. lie had been
sh~ockingly mutila:ed. Shortly after he
was taken i'll, a second ring of the bell
occurred and the mans clothes, watch.
and purse were found on the steps.
In New York City, on Sunday morn
ing, two fashionably dressed men got
out of a carriage and lifted the body of a
well dressed man to the side walk.
Then they fled. The CORPSE proved to
be that of Abram II. Warner. a wealthy
iron merchant. The doctors said he
died of Bright's disease, but the police
think there has been a terrible crime.
The case of the young girl dragged
into a stable, is elsewhere stated. Some
persons think such cases ought not to
be printed bat we hold that we are
doing good service to the public in
making them known. Many a man
would escape robbery and murder /;
many a woman escape shame and ruin,
had they been better posted as to the
realities of modern criminal life.

The Next Presicent--Cu eSS.

As we go to press thirty millions OF
people arc engaged in asking what
the News from Chicago The answer
usually is-"Oh, | don't know! Cleve-
land is ahead, but John Kelly ~is.kicking,
Beast Butler watching around the cor
ner, and Bayard's friends have some
hope"
1t has been recognised for a long time
that New York's vote would decide the
contest But New York was divided.
and only at the last moment did Govern
or Cleveland get a majority Of the dele
CATION. The minority embraces Tamma-
ny Hall, and many of the strongest men
in the party. So far as can be judged
from the New York City, Cleveland can
not poll a full vote of the party in any
town in his State.
The Anti-Cleveland men made a
strong fight in the convention yesterday,
on the Unit Rule" and we %sympathize
with them. Delegates are elected by Dis
tricts and should represent their Districts,
and not vote for a man the District
abomiuates. But the convention refused
to break the Unit Rule by $50 to 400 or
40 with New York voting solid. Kelley
and others will fight Cleveland. MIR.
Bayard's chances improve.

Mr.. j. n. Ingram delivered under
the auspices of the Raleigh Literary So
ciety in this city, IN Monday evening
last, to al appreciative audience, a lee
ture on the Aboriginals of Australia.
He pictured the social customs and
characteristics Of the antipodal natives
in a comical and interesting style.
Their forays on the Australian Squat
tiers, their c~annibalistic feasts. war
dances, eccentric taste for diversion.
and powers of mimicry were graphical
ly related. Their similarity in habi; to
the American Indians was contrasted.
and the charge that they were a negro
race denied. Their conception of the
Deity, religious rites, and views on fu-
ture life was neatly described, and Prof.
HuXleys' assertion about the existence
of races without a belief in a Supreme
Power was reviewed. The address was
a compact presentation OF information
about the race on the Southern CONT
nent. Mr.. Ingram contemplates de-
livering his lecture during the summer
at various points in Western North
Carolina.

The usual campaign falsehoods have
begun. In another column is printed
the tale Of a woman who pretends to be

Gen. Fitzpatrick, who, she SAYS. was

was a lie; and as for the rest, we advise
her to study the history Of Fitzpatrick.
1t will be remembered that when our
~clvalry surprised his camp near Fay

stolen from a South Carolina planter)
was recovered, together with half-a-peck
of stolen jewelry, and a pert mulatto

ticians who did not like some advice

Upper. With this difficulty the citizens
OF Raleigh had nothing to do, and in i
the sympathies of all our people were
with Mr.. Upper. He has never been
cleaned out by the ku Klux or any bod
else, but has quietly and faithfully atten-
ded TO his business as manager of a large
University, and has not only made great
progress in his work and prospered in his
business, but has the hearty corporation

Commenting on our remark that
North Carolina had given three Presi-
dents and seven Bishops to the Union,
the Wilmington star says there were at

who were natives of y. c. This sug-

on nativity. North Carolinians to-day
are holding important offices in nearly
every other State therefore we need
not worry if a few outsiders aspire to
honors among our w people.
