NOAH CHERRY LYNCHED.

As stated in yesterdays GAZETTE Noah
Cherry, the colored youth who attempted
to outrage and murdered Alice Powell in
Princess Anne county last Friday, was
lynched Sunday night. When the dead
girls brother and several friends went to
Cherry's house, his grandmother denied
knowing any thing about the murder. Search
was then made of piece of woods lying IN
front, and after few minutes there was dis
covered bundle OF vet clothing consisting
of blue cloth coat and vest, and white
cotton shirt, all stained with blood, in which
was wrapped three of the school books be-
longing to the murdered girl. Cherry's
gloves were also found. In one ofthe books
was the following scrawl just above the little
girls name Noah Chry Books Piers don't
As night approached the incensed citizens
began to gather, and by ten o'clock they had
corgregated to the number of $50 or 200
short distance from the courthouse. The
leader called for fifteen volunteers who
would be under his immediate command,
and that number promptly stepped forward.
When the Jail was reached the hour of
eleven had nearly arrived. AS soon as the
door was forced open the crowd rushed in
and had no difficulty in finding the cell
in which the prisoner was confined. The
staple was quickly drawn, and Cherry, who
was only partially dressed was hurriedly
taken from the Jail and carried down the
road about quarter of a mile to the Hick-
ory Bridge Schoohouse. Upon being told
that his clothes had been found with the
three books rolled up in them, he confessed
the truth, and said that revenge was his
motive.
He described how he waited in the road
for little Alice, who was on the opposite
side, coming towards him, singing Sweet
Bye-and. bye" When he dragged her into
the path she said, 80 Lord, have mercy on
me-" He carried her into the thicket, where
he killed her with an axe. He was then
told to get down on his knees and pray,
which he did in a rambling sort of way.
After short time had elapsed moose was
placed around his neck, his hands and feet
were tied, the rope was thrown over the
branch of pine tree which stood alongside
the road, the branch projecting over the
road, and he was swungup. The party then
dispersed after number of shots were fred
into the body as it dangled from the limb
of the tree.

GENERAL MALONE wants to know if the
country is to be governed by representa-
tives chosen as they now are in Virginia,
and if the electors representing the South
ern States (which he calls oligarchies] ale
to be as potent in electing Presidents as
those representing the Northern States
(which he calls republics). Why, bless his
enquring mind certainly they are. The
people are tired of having colored voters
hiyed in coal mines until after elections,
and the electors in Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina are hereafter to be as potent
as the same number of electors in any other
States.

The Republican Party from Northern Standpoint
The republican party is pursuing policy

suspects every Southern man OF evil inten-
tious, and declares that tic keeps Il sharpen
ed sword behind the doc: ready TO strike

ago is fostered and cherished AS though III
feeling were patriotism. IL has not DudSed
since the close of the war. Il is no: the par
ty Of progress, for ii hugs old is'ues ~
though they were immortal.
This is the grave mistake IL has made. Ii
has done admirable work in national and
State politics OH occasion, but it has utterly
failed to grasp the Southern question. lis
attitude toward that question Is ono OF I'M
accountable hostility. Hence IL has lost the
grandest opportunity OF its history. |! The
Republicans could rouse themselves TO rcc0S-
nize the interests of the whole continent in
stead of the interests Of one section they
would find large proportion OF the South
ern people ready t" accept thclrSeneraI plat
form ofpolitical principles. In that case the
South and North would be divided between
the two great national parties, and & generous,
if sometimes sharp, rivalry would educate
both great constituencies. Ii the republ-
can party can see nothing better than
bloody shirt and has no higher mission than
to moan over the events Of ancient history
it will soon cease to be useful. There is
good work TO be done in this land, and ii
must be done by patriots who know no

As to the manner Of his Inauguration as
