LYNcH1No AND THE ORIGIN.

The proposition of Senator Hoar to give the Federal courts Jurisdiction in lynching cases has called forth much vigorous comment and the sentiment of the country is undoubtedly against it. The States and the people of the States are not yet prepared to surrender to the general Government the right to punish criminals who arc guilty only of the vio- lation of State laws, partly because such a course is opposed to the theory of our Government, and partly because of the fear that this would be only beginning which would eventually lead to the prac- tical subversion of all our State courts.
 And. speaking of lynching. The New Orleans States recently had an editorial on the. subject which places 1t and it's origin in a new light. The States says:
 Lynching as a means of punishing cer- tain classes of criminals in the South is the direct product of the carpetebag gov- ernments that dominated this section for several years after the late Civil War. In those dark days the courts were prac- tically closed to the appeals of the white men and preperty-holding classes, save as they were converted by partisan judges and military despots into engines of per- secution and conhscation. If a negro committed a crime against white man, the military satraps, and even the civil courts which were subordinate to them, exonerated the negro and the white man was considered lucky if he escaped pun ishment for having lodged the complaint. This state of things went on for so long and was carried to such outrageous ex- tent that the people of the South were finally forced in their desperation to pro- tect themselves hy meting out popular justice in cases of extraordinary crimes. This is one of that dangerous class of evils that grow by what they feed upon, and frem having once been a necessity, 1t gave run to the evil passions in the lower classes and became very difficult to stamp out altogether. It is more ire quent in the South than elsewhere be- cause a larger proportion of our popula- ton than in the Northern States is com posed of negroes, the younger generation of which race is proverbially criminal in instinct. Nevertheless, the North has furnished us with some shocking exam ples of mob violence in recent years, and the habit seems to be growing there much more rapidly. proportionately. than is the case in the South.

 And now comes The Dothan Siftings and enters a plea of not guilty. or non- assumpsit, or something for the town of Dothan in regard to Dothan Street Fair. Now how Is this-the Street Fair is at Dothan, and it surely must be Dothan's Street Fair, for it isn't Geneva's, or Abbeville's or Elba's. Too thin Dear Siftings, too thin.

he has been away his friends among
the tiremen or it should be said all

erting themselves to make things
pleasant for him and his bride on their

The results of their efforts were
shown this morning when George T.
Conner sent up to the happy couples
new home, corner Of French and
Washington streets, a handsome Nor
ris chair given by Hose Co No. l., and
set of dining room chairs with a
beautiful sideboard from the fire de-
partment generally.
All those who know the gentleman
are convinced that these small to-
kens of esteem are hardly sufficient to
show the respect with which Will is
held for bis many manly qualities and
kindness shown the memD rs Of the
departme,t at different times during
Lis long connection Herewith.
Mr.. Carpenter is foreman OF Co. No.
