Correspondence of The Messenger.)
G~oldsboro, April 10.
Superior court convened in this city
this morning with Judge Timberlake
presiding and Solicitor Pou at his
post. Among the cases on the GRIMM
al docket which have been set for trial
at this term of court is that of Gil
Ward for the murder of Mag Dinkins.
Although this crime was committed
about five years ago, yet it vas so
barbaric and brutal in character that
the long intervening years have not
sufficed to efface it from the memoir
of the people of Wayne county. The
murder occurred On Sunday morning
after Ward la been drinking all Sat
urday night. Mag Dinkins was his
mistress and they lived on his planta-
ton near SauPS Cross Roads in this
county. The woman knew of his ter
rible temper when he was drunk, and
on this sad occasion for her, she had
been keeping out of his reach all night.
She had been told that Ward would
beat her when he found her. After
pursuing her from house to house in
the ~neighborhood he finally overlook
her at q negro house. When he came
upon her he seized her by the arm with
one hand and with the other he drew
his knife from his pocket, opened the
blade with his teeth and stabbed her
in the breast. She never spoke. The
knife had pierced her heart and she
reeled and fell to the ground, dead
Ward took to the woods and succeed
ed in evading the arm of the law until
a short while ago, when he was cap
tured in Texas. He vas placed in the
county Jail in Raleigh until last Wed
nesday. when he was brought tc
GOldsbOrO and placed in Jail and is
now awaiting to answer for his rash
deed.
The democratic executive COMMITTEES
Of this county have called the primar-
les Of that party for May 18th, at the
respective voting places throughout
the county, except Goldsboro. which
will meet or Friday night, May 18th,
at the court house. The county con-
vention will be held in GoIdsboro on
May 21st at 1 o'clock p. m, to elect
delegates to the state, judicial and con
gressiOnal conventions.
Next to the war, city politics are
claiming most attention. The nomi-
mating convention for mayor will be
held in the opera house tonight. The
present incumbent, Mayor John w
WE'LL, and Captain J. E. Peterson are
the principal candidates. The alder
manic convention will be held next
Monday night and the election comes
Off a week later, when the question OF
issuing bonds for sewerage will be de-
cided.

SkHERNANS WAY IN WAGING WAR
FOR sHUMANITYo

The truth about the curse of curses
of the war between the north and south
will he acknowledged after awhile even
by the victorious section, that waged
an innunan war for four years, de-
stroying and devastating at will, and
all to free the negroes. 1t was not a
war for principle, for law, for right, but
a war for sentimental intermeddling,
unholy passion, i'm the face of the plain
fact that it was the right of the south
to hdr peaceably from a violated
and often outraged compact. The
Springfield (Mass.) Republican wall
have to be reIbuked 10y the fanatics.
1t comes out plainly, directly and says
hat ito all intents and purposes the
civil war;" was begun to preserve tine
integrity of the nation. MIR. Lincoln
maintained that slavery did not enter
into theuuestion except incidentally; that
the war was being fought to preserve
the union, and if the union could be
maintained without emancipation, slav-
cry would remain undisturbed. Never
theless, the great initial influence sup
porting a resort to arms in the north
was humanitarian and not political"
That tells the truth, and the Repub-
lican is to be congratulated for it IS
the only paper, so far as we know, in
all New England, that has ever told the
truth as to genuine, basic cause of the
cruel war that ragged against the south.
Devasting, burning, destroying, kill
ing southern whites, did not appeal to
noble sentiments of humanity then.
Kill the damn rebels was the wrongful,
slogan, and make war hell' was tine
Sherman theory and practice. We
will give some evidence presently as to
this statement. But it is a highly SEN
timental war now that is urged to Jun
ish Spain for committing cruelties no
against the south.
The north waged a hypocritical war
against the south, and is now coddling
no little of hypocritical sentiment as to
Cuba. The Richmond Dispatch dis
cusses The Republicans admission put
it something ~eupheumistic terms. We
quote the following:
Turned into a little more rugged
english. that confession amounts to
this: The north fought the war in or
der TO rob the south of millions of dol
lars wort of property. AS negroes
We're unquestiOnably property, the Re-
publican cannOt get around the fact
that ours is the un~varnished statement
of the case makes against the north.
'Humanitarianism' is a mighty fine
word for robbery"
Now for Sherman's idea of war-of
war upon the white people in the
south-of war upon their brethren of
the same blood and nationality. His
theory is to make war "a hell and he
tried to max it so. We find in The
Charleston News and Courier some ex-

struction of the Maine which is the
true cause Of war"
Our readers know that the conten-
ton of The Messenger has been all
along that the real, the great, the i'm
perious issue, infinitely above all 9TH
ers, was the damning act of the treach-
erous ~Spaniards in assassinating 26S
men under the American flag and send
ing to the bottom of the Spanish har-
Dor an American vessel of war. The
Union League Club, of New York
city, a very extreme anti-war body or
dinarily, has recently declared that
the government of Spain be required
to answer for the destruction of the
Maine and for the American ives sac
rificed with her." 1t will be recalled
that even Senator Hoar, of Massa-
chusetts, last week in the United States
senate, ventured upon words thai kim
dled with something of genuine patri-
otto ardor. He wanted Spain expelled
from Cuba, but he failed to say aught
Of the ain villainy. Senator Fair
odIho, iCPobAASohs III AA A~'
family favored war, but gave no sign
hat he had heard Of the Maine, in SO
far as the extracts of his speech we
have seen indicate. They are standing
by Mckinley, who snubbed the Maine
question.
When General Lee gave his testimony
and showed how easy it vas to destroy
the Maine by the Spaniards, it must
have opened the eyes Of the committee
And so with Captain S%igsbee's testi-
mony, which was to the very same
effect. And SO Rear Admiral Irwin
testified. Captain Sigsbee said:
"a ship moored in a harbor would
swing around to a given point where
a mine might be located, and when it
should reach that point, the mine
would be exploded. He thought the
mine could AVE been planted from a
scow between decks. There, were, he
Vana, and, while he would not charge
them with anything, he thought it not
out of place to speak of the possibili-
ties Of the case. That,
said Captain Sigsbee, is the real rea-
son I asked to have the Montgomery
taken away. If they were going to
do anything to blow us up, 1 wanted
to have it lone with a smaller vessel.
They had no vigilance whatever, and
no guard over us or our vessels. Their
vigilance was great where their own
| vessels were concerned. Their boats
were coming and going all the time,
and they generally refused to answer
when we hailed them. When the
tic reply is was generally in an impu-

THE OWING UP OF THE MAINE

There has been a most noticeable
change in the north 1atterly as to the
place of the Maine in the controversy
with Spain. The destruction OF that
American cruiser and it's 258 seamen is
nut first now in the count of grieVan-
ces. Mckinley and Company, tooters
in mgr and press hackers, all es-
saved to shove it aside, but like Ban
,ouo's ghost, cit will not down." We
lately gave some edifying extracts rel
ative to his devilish deed of destruc-
ton, and copied that particularly point
ed. vigorous plea of The New York
Tribune, one of McKinley's inveterate
praisers and defenders, to Remember
the Maine" what ever else was forgot
ten or neglected. The able, influential,
old Brooklyn Eagle, said but recently
and with intense vigor and point:
1.-The Maine was willingly and DELHI
verately destroyed. Every one lost on
her was murdered. 1t was not an act
of war in time of war. 1t was an act
of fendishness in time of peace. The
ship was placed where she was in or
der to insure her destruction.
Spain can render no atonement for
that crime except the execution of he
guilty and full apology, and apology
even of remorse. and full reparation to
the survivors and to the heirs of the
slain. That refused or not done, repa-
ration in full measure, must be enforc-
ed, with a clear understanding of the
cruel character of the culprit nation
and of the warrant from God and man
to render that culprit nation powerless
forever at least on this side OF the
earth"
The New York Times, one of the
best of northern wspaper has an
editorial of almost equal sweep and
spirit. We copy this:
eff it were as he evidently believed
it to be, not only was the case outside
the sphere of negotiation, but the ma
ton which had rendered itself respon-
,sible for such a crime vas beyond the
pail of civilization. The destruction OF
the national vessel of a power with
which Spain was at peace and the mas
Sacre of her crew would be an act OF
treachery and cruelty unprecedented
in the hristory of any civilized nation
but only the latest in the long series
of acts of treachery and cruelty which
made the name of Spain infamous dur
ing the days of her power, and mingle
contempt with the pity that her pres.
ent weakness might inspire.
ut is the Maine which has made
acute the present crisis. 1t is the de.
