the Revolution infested by bands Of
Tories and outlaws, whose depredations
upon the defenseless people extended
from the lower parts of North Carolina
and Virginia to the passes OF the Blue
Ridge and the headwaters OF the
James and other mountain streams.
Deserters from both armies added
strength and semblance Of organization
to their operations Wherever they APP
peared the terror stricken inhabitants
were plundered, harassed and mercl-
lessly subjected to every variety OF IN
suit and outrage. A remedy was need
ed for this insufferable state Of things,
a remedy that should at once strike
such terror to these miscreunts as
would relieve a community already sur
fering from the effects of hostile inva-
sion. Colonel Lynch was the man 70
take the lead in such an emergency.
He succeeded in organizing a body OF
patriotic citizens, men of known char
acter and standing.
Having laid his plans before them
and securing their approval, ne at once
proceeded to put them into execution.
At the head of his followers he prompt
ly got upon the track Of the unsuspect-
ing enemy, captured many and caused
the others to flee from the country.
When any of these outlaws fell into
his hands, they were not taken at once
to tree and hanged or tied to Q stake
and shot, as is now done under the per-
verted system of the present day. This
was not according to the code of Colo
mel Lynch and his followers.
So far from such lawless procedure
a jury was selected from Lynch's men,
over which he presided as judge. The
captives were tried separately, the &C.
cused allowed to make his own defense
and to show cause, If he could, why he
should not be punished. If found
guilty, the punishment was inflicted on
the spot. The general impression has
been that In all cases of lynch law the
penalty was death. This is d mistake.
A writer who knew Colonel Lynch well
was assured by him that he never will
ingly condemned a criminal to capital
punishment; that prisoners were fire.
uuently let off with severe fogging
and then liberated on condition that
they would leave the country. New

Morris tribune., 1894-02-21

New Workers have got tired of be-
ing tainted at their slow growth as
compared with that of Chicago, and
therefore, at one full swoop, they are
determined to forever squelch the am
bition of the Western metropolis. So
monster city limit bill has been
passed by the Assembly by voteof
LOG to 7, and it will pass the Senate.
The present area of New York is 1886
square miles. It is now proposed to
extend the city limits to 317.77 square
miles, The new area will include the
counties of Richmond and Kings and
a considerable portion of Winchester
not now within the city limits. The
present population of New York is
1901, 739; the proposed population
will be 1856, 1872. Brooklyn alone
contains 1858.
To consolidate New York and
Brooklyn seems natural and proper,
but when the extentioners take in
Staten Island known as the county
of Richmond, which is eight miles
from New York, the absurbity seems
to be grandoise. This vast munich
pality is to be ruled by one mayor
and two legislative bodies elected as
usual by the people.
In justice it should be stated that
that this monstrous extension is not to
be perfected until a vote in all the
municipalities has been taken and
the people consent thereto.
This extension, if carried out, will
make New York much larger in area
and population than Paris, and the
two great cities of the world will be
London and New York. The pres

Pres. j. J. Hill of the Great
Northern, an intimate personal and
political friend of Pres. Cleveland,
has celebrated the passage, by the
house of representatives, of the Will
son bill, by ordering new schedule,
reducing the wages of engineers and
gremen of this system. The new
schedule for engineers and firemen,
which was presented to the grievance
some days ago, went into effect
Thursday. It is not only a cut but
slash in wages. There are larger
number of changes made in a new
schedule. For instance where engin-
GERS in charge of "hog" engines were
were paid $415 they will now re-
ceiye under the new deal $3.50 per
day. Men in charge Of ordinary
engines will get 49, rs instead of $500

Lynch law had its origin in Virginia,

early history Of that state. 1t was not
mob law, as it is now understood. 1t
was orderly, methodical and fair in its
