consumption. Wasted to skeleton
his lungs mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work His lungs are sound
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life His recovery IS regarded as

THE USUAL CRIME.

We have looked in vain for an edito-
rial in the columns of the Richmond.
Va, DIsPAToH on 1.-THE Usual Crime"
as applicable to the white men, who
have been guilty OF the crime OF rape.
The telegraphic reports under date
of the 9th inst, tell of the horrible out
rage upon q Miss SADIE Cook, (white)
by HENRY WALLS, (white). The af-
fair took place near Friends Mission,
Va. After criminally assaultlng his
vistim, he brutAlly murdered her.
One report says that he has been
lsnched by Infatuated men. We are
opposed to such procedure and be-
uieve that his murderers should be
tried, convicted a=d punished for their
crime. The law should have its
course.
Itwould be we'll to remember that a
white man criminaIIy assaulted Mrs.
DANIEL HAscorr and her 10 year old
daughter at Ohickamauga Park, Tenn.
August 14th.
CANEY SULLIVAN (white) criminally
assaulted his sister in-law (white) in
Whitley County, Kentucky during the
same month He was lynched.
A white tramp assaulted q white
woman near Mannheim. Va, during
August. He was killed.
JERRY BRowE, (white) was hanged
at Fayetteville, Ind. August oath for
criminally assaulting Mrs. RADFoRD,
also white.
CHARLES SMITH. (white) age 65 years
of age attempted to criminally assault
the 1o year old daughter of WALTER
CARSON at Evansville. Ind.
JACK WILLIAMs, (wfite) raped deaf
mute. named Whey BAYS, (white)
near Barboursville, Kentucky, August
9TH.
Two white men committed rape on
two young white girls near Urbana,
Ohio, two weeks ago.
These are recent cases. We have
not heard of any white associations
passing resolutions, condemnatory of
the crime of rape amongst its people.
We have not seen where any colored
journal warned the white people that
unless they check this crime amongst
their race, it will be deported sor ex-
terminated.
On the other hand, barring the news
paper reports there has been no refer
ence to these violations of the law.
Thoughtful, dispassionate white and
colored men will see the point.
Crime is not confined to any race Of
people exclusively and when an at
tempt is made to increase race preju-
dice thereby it is the work OF some
miserable sycophant who desires to
reap or secure popularity thereby.

A Wall FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

o. W. BLAcKNALL of Kittrell, N. c.,
writes to the News AND OBSERVER an
article in favor of lynching.
1t is at times so rambling, so brjmful
OF prejudice, SO unreasonable that it
does not deserve reply although it
should receive one.
He seems oblivious Of the fact that
the two things should go hand in hand !:
the crime and its legal punishment.
After this is done, all is done. To ex-
terminate the race of colcred people
would not remedy the evil because it
is prevalent amongst the whites as well
as the colored.
Our people are but imitators in the
matter Of crime. Passion will not bet
ter the condition, prejudice will not
remedy the evil.
Mr.. BLAoKNALL's picture is made to
infiame the white people against the
better as well as the worst class of
colored people.
1t is unfortunate that we have
amongst US men, who are akin TO the
brute creation 1t is a fact that
amongst the white race are numbered
the brutes themselves.
We are opposed to the rapist, white
or black; we are against the lyncher,
white OF, black. Right must eventual
~ triumph. Lynch-law must 60.

CHAIRMAN LAMB AND THE STATE
COMMITTEE.

The more the action of the Republic
can State Committee is considered
both as to the failure to call state
convention and the alleged removal OF
Col. WILLIAM LAMB, the more apparent
it becomes that it acted unwisely and
endeavored to exercise power which
it did not possess
The question Of placing a candidate
in the field belonged to the state con-
vention md not to the state commit
tee and no where in the party law is
any authority given for its exercise Of
such a privilege.
All fair-minded persons must con-
cede that il bona-fide charges were al
legged against Chairman LAMB, the
state convention was the proper tri-
bunal before which to try them.
Moreover, It was stated that the cam
paign committee was slandered by
Col. LAMB, and yet no member OF this
committee appeared as accusers, the
charges being filed by irresponsible
men, who we're office-seekers under
this same committee.
II il is fact that the committee had
power to remove Col. LAMB as chair
man OF its body, there could be no such
authority for its removal Of him as
chairman OF the party of the state.
It would be contrary to custom and
law, and il carried out would under
mine the basic priia5iipiies vi the gov
eminent itself.
1t must be conceded then that Col.
WILLIAM LAMB of Norfolk is chairman
of the party in this state, and as such
is alone responsible to the people who
elected him.
Whether or not he shall be sustained
in his course will be settled st Lynch
burg.
He has refused to surrender his col
ors to clique in his own party, and his
honorable career canRot be furnished
by the bowling and vaporings of the
few sen-constituted leaders who are
already ''fussing and Tuning" over the
"fiesh-pots of Egypt"
The Republican Party OF Virginia,
by the influx OF new material and hon.
orsble recruits must deserve success
before it can hope to achieve it.

THE crime which WILBIE MONDAY,
(white) committed on the person of q
colored girl at Shumansville, is the
most heinous known to the law and is
punishable with death.
We do not see how Justices MosEs
RoLPH and JOHN n. CovNeroE could
mete punishment Of twenty dollars
fine.
The age Of consent, prior to last year
was twelve years. tits now fourteen
years. Under that construction Of the
law. MONDAY was guilty OF rape even
though the girl had yielded to his ad-
vances.
The law presents death as the pun
ishmeot for this crime, and yet these
Justices Of the Peace pass it over light
~ and punish the fend by assessing a
nominal tine.
This is another case OF the depravity
Of the other race, and the attention of
our aged contemporary, the Richmord
DISPATCH is called to this evidence OF
the white mans lust and brutality.
MONDAY has not been lynched, neith-
CT has any one recommended that he
should be.

ANOTHER HEINoUs CRIME.

the young daughter Of his half-sister.
The affair occurred in Pittsylvania
County, about sixteen miles from Dan
vile, Va. Saturday, September 4th.
The brute Is about fifty years Of age.
We call attention to the fact that this
is "the usual crime" and that DoDsoN
is a white man.
What has the southern white press
to say relative to the crime, which it
has been alleged Is confined to the
freedmen.
We insist that the Negro is but an
imitator, mirror in which the white
man may see himself in all OF his
Nervousness.
Just as parent Furnishes its Of
spring for offences which he himself
had committed in the presence Of the
child, so does the white man abuse
punish the Negro for practicing
crimes Of which he knows the white
man has been previously guilty.
