THE southern people are evidently
growing weary of the negro murders
which are rejecting so unfavorably
upon the sections where these MUIR
ders are committed. They are calling
a halt aud asking for the discontinue
ance of lynch law, declaring that the
courts should be left to settle the cases
of criminals. The Savannah News
says:
1.-The failure of courts and juries to
do their duty Is no excuse for lynch
law. courts and juries are no better
and no worse than the people, and
where there is healthy public senti-
ment against crimes of violence the
punishment of criminals is swift and
certain. Instead of resorting to I'M
lawful means, therefore, to check
crime, the effort should be to create a
healthier public sentiment"
In the cases of colored men accused
of crime there has not been noticed
any very strong tendency to acquital.
Southern courts and juries are gener-
ally on time to convict colored man
Justice is not suffering because the
colored men escape the consequences
of their crime.
