DREYFUS FOUND GUILTY

The decision of the tragedy being en-
acted at Rennes in France is that Cap
tain Dreyfus is guilty-a most infa-
nous and murderous decision. And
that, too, in the teeth Of the declaration
of Germany thai the government mad
no intercourse whatever, directly OF
Indirectly, with the prisoner under trial.
SO complete is the German evidence in
his favor that Won Buelow, secretary
Of state, declared Gin the most pos
tive manner that no relations or con-
nections Of n kind ever existed be
tween the French ex-Captain Dreyfus,
and any German agents."
And yet a corrupt court dares to
pronounce guilty the man who is be-
ieved to be innocent by ninety-nine Of
men of sense outside of France. 1t
should disgrace France beyond recov-
cry. It is a cruel, false, most detest-
able verdict.

NORTH Ca In THE FIRST
WAR OF INDEPENDEN CE

According to a statement before us
there wer. 3n9. 7S1 of soldiers of the COL
onies VINO fought for Independence in
1776-S3. They are classed as $50, III reg
ulars and 1854, $50 volunteers and mill
tia. We would like to I'VE accurate
informa ton as to how many troops Of
ali kinds North Carolina had in the
field during the entire war. We rave
no doubt that with proper search the
exact number could be ascertained.
North Carolina had soldiers at home
to take care of the ~tories( who were
u~npleasantly numerous, and it furnish
ed many regiments for the army OF
Washington first and last. Just how
many is what would be instructive.
In September 1881, General tombstone
Jones, who removed later into the re-
mote northwest, published a COMMUNE
cation in The New York Times, in
which he stated that North Carolina
tn h Continental Line during the
| war. He wrote:
| ut is to be observed that North Car
olina's population, something over
! 300, 900, constituted about the one
| tenth part of the population of the
United States, which numbered $780,
900 at the time Of the revolution. SO
| that, if the rest Of the country furnish
ed troops in the same proportion to
| population as our state did, the Ameri-
! a army would have aggregated dur
ing the period of the war fully zoo, 000
men,"
But above it is stated hat there were
! 500, 7S1. North C~arolinians were in battles
/ Of Brandywine, Germantown and Stony
Point. They fought in South Carolina
most valiantly. Were they at York
town at the surrender Of Lord Corn
wallis's gallant, but little army? We
suppose so. But who knows? General
Jones think that possibly some Tories
from our state surrendered at York
town. He writes:
"a very cursory, incomplete exami-
nation of the records show with abso-
lutte certainty that New York. New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland. as
we'll as North Carolina, were so repre-
scented. There were Arno4d's legion OF
Loyalists, Fanning's corps of Tories,

and Colonel Delancy's regiment Of To-

1t is very shocking to think over that
in this hitherto. conservative, humane
state Of North Carolina, and in the
last year but one of the nineteenth
century, that has been SO greatly dis
tinguished for it's progress in so many
departments of human enterprise and
endeavor, there are young white girls
sent to work on the public roads. It is
a positive outrage and shame when it
is considered that they are punished in
this way for petty indebtedness and
forced to keep the company of harden
ed criminals. The Ralengh News-Ob-
server gave the following not long
ago:
Magistrate Barbae has sent Casey
Pulley, a ~17-year-old white, girl, to the
roads because she could not pay costs
in a case against her.
Annie Clark, a young white girl, and
her brother u Clark, were yesterday
sent to the roads by Magistrate Mich
OILS for failure to pay costs and fine in
