THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

1t is thought that the trial of the
train robber, Charles Morgan, at Stat
ford Court House, is about concluded.
The defense introduced four witnesses
to testify that Searcey had told them
that he did not know Morgan. There
i; one other witness for the defense to
come from Fredericksburg, and pend
ing his arrival counsel on both sides
have offered their instructions, and the
Judge mas passed on most of them.
The court yesterday afternoon gave
nine instructions for the defense, and
rejected the only one asked by the
prosecution, after which Mr.. w. S.
Thomas, of Baltimore, arose to make
the opening argument for the prosecu-
ton. He claimed Morgan had made q
practical confession to Mr.. Triplett,
one of the witnesses from Fauquier,
for, said Mr.. Thomas: when Triplett
walked up to Morgan in the Jail here,
whom he had not seen since that Sun
day, October IA, and said We'll, Nor
gan, you have fallen of, and are not
IS tanned as when saw you last, Nor
gan did not reply: 4 have never seen
you; do not know you,' but looked at
Triplett, whom he had only recognized,
and replied: We'll, guess | have 20
Great interest is shown in Searcey's
case, which will not be heard, however,
at this term of court.
Will he plead guilty? That is the
question.
Searcey has no friends in Stafford,
while Morganfeld's nerve has won
him friends among the populace. 1t is
strongly rumored that Col. Shay and
Senator Little will volunteer their ser
vices in defending Searcey, but both
gentleman refuse to talk on the subject.
The question of reward is attracting
considerable attention now. 1t will be
remembered that Gov. O'Ferral and
the Richmond, Fredericksburg and
Potomac Railroad Company offered
81 600 each, and everybody seems to be
after that money.
Hon. Thomss G. Pitcher, of Midland,
a member of the Legislature is on the
ground, claiming that through his infor-
nation Morganfield and Searcey were
captured.
The men purchased, so it is said, the
famous brown overalls and other ar
ticles of clothing at Pitchers store the
evening after the robbery, and Pitcher
says Searcey now wears shoes bought
at Pitchers store.
Detective White, of Cincinnati, is still
in Stafford, and is said to have and eye
on the reward.
Last night there were many wild ru-
mors flying around in regard to myster-
ious men who have been seen in the
neighborhood and some of the officers
have gone out on searching expedi
ton. Mr.. Harris, the mysterious man
from Arkansas, who has been in Stat
ford for several days and whose bust
ness no one seems to know, left last
night as quietly as he came. Mr..
Thomas resumed his argument this
morning and was followed by General
Shay and Senator Little for the defense.
Its not probable that the case will

SOUTHERN RAILWAY CONTROVERSY
Third Vice. President Baldwin, of the
Southern Railway, said in Washington
last night that there was nothing new
in the controversy between the road
and its employees. The objections made
by the employees to the new schedule
recently made by the company are still
under consideration. They were dis
cussed yesterday, but no decision was
reached. Mr.. Baldwin said he felt con-
fident that after the gentlemen com
posing the committee had thoroughly
sifted his response there would be no
more dissensions.

Louisville, KY, May 2i.-The Jefferson
county grand Jury has refused TO indict Full
Ter Gordon for the double killing OF his vile
and Arch Brown, son of Kentucky's, COVER
nor, whom Gordon found in bed room 10
gether four weeks ago."
Fuller Gordon is guilty OF wilful and pre-
meditated murder, ana should suffer the pen
atty laid down for that crime.
II insult is given TO the females under
mans care. he should resent it, and protect
his female relatives, even to the killing OF the
aggressor. Public sentiment and personal
morality as we'll as personal duty demand
that the assailant should take the conse
quences of his misdeed.
But no man who marries an unchaste wo'
man has right to wreak vengeance on her oil
her associate in crime. Every man is justi-
fed IN protecting a virtuous woman. but NO
man should be allowed TO .slay another be
cause he chose to marry an unchaste wife
Fuller Gordon followed up his wife, and shot
her and her associate 10 death. For this act
he should answer for his crime at the bar OIL
justice.
Let not the reader misunderstood u.s.
There is all the difference in the world in pro-
tecting the honor of an innocent and virtuous
woman from the act of killing a man because
his wife is untrue to him.

Georgia Justice.

Many Georgians hold up their hands IN
holy horror at Reform rule in South Caro-
lima, and fairly faint away when the dispen'
sary is mentioned.
The consistency of the Georgia law Win
the nice political views Of their neighoors
may be seen in the following:
Judge Clark in Atlanta recently maze SEN
tences, of negroes, like these
Wilson Evans convicted OF stealing sheea e. y
and blanket Sentenced to two years IN the
penitentiary. , s,,,,,
John Willis attempting criminal assault
Ten years. 49,, ,r. .

money. Sentenced TO five years in the peni'
tentiary. - NJ.
Will Drewry stole magic lantern. Two
years in the pen. ,
Rubber Jones shot man who was so drunk
that he didn't know who shot MIN. SEN
fenced to pay 500 or 60 to the pen one year nre
and stole some eggs. He got three years In the
penitentiary.
Let the reader square the sentences Wild
the crimes. For stealing sheet and blank
ct a man is sent to the penitentiary ior Two
years. while another who shot man "h'le
SO drunk he did not know who shot MIN Is
sentenced TO the penitentiary for one year OF
to pay slOO. Wonder if the man VINO Stoie
the blankets was not negro ana the ihan
who did the shooting was not white man.
II one was not white and the other black,
why the heavy penalty in the lighter ohence'
and the lighter penalty in the more serious
offence?
But look through the lis: and see the In
equality of the punishment.
We make no effort TO reproduce the report
ed wit and alleged fun Of the Judge while
imposing the sentences.

Who IL GOh I?

Did Juge Goft come down South during the
war in command of a negro regiment
not in command of regiment Of negroes,
did he come in command of any other organ-
ization OF negro soldiers"
If he came South In command OF negroes,
did he harrass and annoy the decent people
of North Carolina by the presence of his negro
soldiers?
Did he afterwards 60 10 louisiana as "vis'
iting statesman" or other emissary from
Washington TO aid in robbing the State OF
Louisiana of her vote for Tilden?
There has been of late some appeals to him
In behalf of negroes. II the Judge command
ed negro soldiers, and afterward aided the
Washington authorities in defeating the Dem
ocratic vote Of Lonisana, is 1t at all surprising
that he mingled pleasure with duty IN an
nulling our registration laws"
Whether Judge Gof came South as COM
mander Of negro soldiers, or whether he mar
rassed and annoyed the decent people OF
North Carolina by the presence of his SOL
diers, or whether he went to Louisiana
TO help defeat the Democrats of that
State, we know that he came down to South
Carolina about a month ago and did the bid
ding, or obeyed the request, which was made
OF him as against the white people and Tor
the negroes.
