THE LETTER TO JUDGE DICK.

Our Asheville special yesterday told
Of an anonymous letter which Judge
Dick, holding the United States Court
at Ashevll!e, has received, animadvert
ing upon him for having reduced by
one half the bonds of the wreckers Of
the First National Bank of Asheville
and continued the cases against them
until next May. The Citizen pub
fishes the text of the letter, part of
which is as follows:
When you had such grand concep-
ton Of mercy for the families Of Breese,
penIand and Dickerson, the First Ma
tional Bank Robbers, by not only de-
laying their trial six months longer,
and reducing their bonds to less than
one half the original amount, did it at
that time once occur to your mind that
many families had come 10 want, and
that little children were going half
clad 4 with no shose on their feet, all
brought about by Their stealing and
knavery, AS you have such high
sences of justice and mercy why did you
not enquire into these facts. These
ROBBERS families are we'll fed & clothed
& their children are attending college
on their lll-gottOn gains, while the poor
Inflated victims children have to 90
to a free school baretotted.
II is the same old story. If man
comes before you for making one gall
ion OF corn whiskey lie goes up in a
fellon's cell, while the three Bank Rob-
Der gentlemen are allowed to have
freedom and liberty, enjoying the poor
depositors' money.
The spelling, capitalization, ETC., in
the foregoing are open to criticism,
and some Of the forms Of expression
are little crude, but the general drift
of the argument appeals rather strong
ly to the ordinary mind. There is no
chance for the man who makes zone
gal. of corn whiskey' but he who loots
bank gets his bond reduced and
his case continued. This is the sort of
business that makes anarchists. There
appears to have been reason for the
continuance; the suggestion came
from the Comptroller of the Currency
at the suggestion of the hooters that if
given time they would make the de
posts whole. But why reduce the
bonds3 Doubtless Judge Dick had
his reasons. After all, he is not radl-
cally different from other judges and
the course Of this case is not RADICAL
ly different from that of other cases
of like character iii times past aud in
all quarters. Justice is dealt out to
the cone gall fellow-whether one
gallon or one galus-in copious doses,
while in the case of 'the Bank Robber
gentlemen the punishment, doesn't
always fit the crime. Ills now and
ever shall be as twas in King Lear's
day:
plate sin with gold
And the strong lance of justice hurtless
breaks
Arm it in rags, pigmy's straw does
ierce it.

THE VERY IRONY OF FATE.

' En- lItoN L VI L y l Il.
This from the Statesville Landmark
needs no further comment:
Adverting to the fact that the re-
mains of the late Gen. Clingman hav-
ing been buried at Concord, Ashe-
vile is asking that his remains be re-
moved there, the Salisbury Worla
aptly observes:
cit is one of the pecullarities of hui
mainly, we guess, that General Cling
man living couldn't find home to
shelter him while rival cities contend
for his place OF burial"
Yea, it is the irony Of fate that
"Seven cities claimed Homer dead,
Through which the living Homer begged
his Bread
Gen. Clingman, wifeless and child
less, without any very near relatives,
a mental and physical wreck, was for
years prior to his death almost without
a home and only few weeks ago
found an asylum in the State Hos
ptal at Morganton. Now that he is
dead towns hold public meetings and
raise money for the honor of having
his bones inferred in their midst.
This is right and proper, for the sol

CAN BUTLER BE SO Low?
If SO the Fate Of Such FiendS is Too
Good for Him.

UOOu IOf Hin.
Did Butler say, as is charged by
the Argonaut, that Democrats hire
negroes to outrage white women? Is
there not possibly mistake on the
part of the Argonaut2 We did not
know that any man in North Carolina
was low enough to bring such a foul
and lying charge against any party or
faction. Butler knew he was lying
most outrageously when he uttered
those vile words Unless he can clear
himself of the charge Butler should
be loathed and held in contempt by
every person in North Carolina, both
white and black. He must have lost
his mind because of his leadership in
the State. The A,gonautsa
Can a man with an atom of decent
blood in his veins read or hear of the
cruel fate which overlook the inno-
cent young girl while on her way in
her daily avocatlon without every in-
stinct crying for vengeance on the
damnable fiend in human disguise who
wrecked her young life? Do the white
people of Rockingham rejoice that this
young girl was outraged by this black
beast? We cannot believe they do,
but must believe it if we are to
believe the words spoken by
Marion Butler, United States Senator
from North Carolina, in his speech the
other day in this town. In that speech
he said, as near as we can quote. "If
colored men commit outrages the Dem
ocrats pretend to be terribly shocked
in public, but when they get behind a
wall they laugh until they grow fat,
and if the outrages are not frequent
enough they hire worthless negroes to
commit them.'
We worder if the white people of
Rocking CHAM hired this negro to COM
NIT his unspeakable crime on this
poor girl, and if they did not, what
they must think of the man who rep
resents the glorious old North State in
the Senate hamber?-Kinston Free

tors when the victim was PAT on the
witness stand. At Hendersonvllle re-

as he was on the bench he would never

by compelling her to 60 through the
revolving recital of testimony in such
cases il the presence of a crowd Of
idle, wide mouth, vulgar spectators as
Is usually the case. And last week at
Rocking ham in the Evans trial Judge
Mclver pursued the same course. All
honor to these tw, correct and up
right Judges, say we. Let others do
the same thing. 1t is shame and an

THE WAY TO STOP LYNCHI\G.

THE WAY TO STOP LYNCHING.
The hanging Of the negro Sam
Wright in Goldsboro yesterday just
thlrty-nine days after the murder of
Mr.. Carr is lesson to law breakers.
In melting out punishment for the vio-
latlon OF law, 1t Is almost as impor-
tant that the punishment be admins
tered speedily as certainly. When IN
unprovoked murder is followed hy
long delays before the final execution
OF the criminal, there is begotten a
feeling of dlstrust in the majesty of the
law. When the trial is held within a
reasonable time, and the accused is
gwen full opportunity to produce his
witnesses so as TO insure a fair trial
the effect on the public mind is whole
some and salutary. We are greatly
mistaken if the promptness in punish
ing the murderer Of Mr.. Carr does
not have a salutary effect in that sec
ton.
The news comes as though it had
been advertised that the execution
would be private fully twenty five hun
dred people gathered in Goldsboro to
be present at the execution. The
GoldSboro -drsns from the first insisted
upon private execution, and the
County Commissioners responded TO
the expressed demand for such eXeCu-
ton. 1t is not generally known that
the LAWS of the State direct all hang
Ings to be IN private except for "rea-
sons that may be deemed good and
sufficient. Section I,2+4 of the Code
Provides:
AS the ends of Justice, public NOR
ais and the preservation of order de-
mand that the execution of all capital
offenders should be made private and
invested with the so!emnity appropri-
ate to the final act of penal law, any
sheriff on whom shall devOlve the ex-
ecutlon of a sentence of death or.a pub
lie offender, shall be required to pro-
vide Tor the execution of such criminal
within the jail yard enclosure, and as
much removed from public view as the
means within his control will allow
crowded. that. for reasons which NAV
be deemed good and sufficient, the
