CHARGED WITH LARCENY.

y
August Thompson, a young resident
of Seaside is in jail waiting trial on a
charge of larceny. The offense charg-
ed to Thompson is robbing the store of
Victor Bergman of $50. He is supposed
to have been assisted in the under
handed deal by an associate who has
since its commission taken French
leave of this section. Thompson is rec
ognized as hard case. He is too old
for the reform school and almost too
young for the penitentiary. but there is
little doubt but that it will be arranged
fer him to get what is coming to him.
Ii has been no uncommon thing of nate
for cottages at Seaside to be broken in
to and the ontents to be made free use
Of. It is thought that the depredations
are committed by gang under the
leadership Ct the prisoner and that
with his onviction the unlawful prac-
tice viii be broken up. The case
against Thompson win be tried next
Monday in the court Of the justice of
the peace.

Laziness Of mind, or inattention, is as great
an enemy to knowledge as incapacity; for IN
truth what difference is there between a man who
will not, and a man who cannot be informed! The
difference only that the former is justly to be
blamed, the latter to be pitied. L look
upon ind. 'ence as a sort of suicide; for the real
man is efectually destroyed by it, though the
appetities of the brute may survive.-From Lord

EOUALIZE THE NUMBER OF CHALLENGES AND
GIVE THE STATE THE Ugh OF APPEAL.

II LIE O4A4G LII 44OA4
The trial of Ernest Haywood for the killing of
Ludlow Skinner in Raleigh last February, ended
last Wednesday when the jury, only fifteen min
utes after Judge PEBBLES concluded his charge,
returned a verdict Of mot guilty" 1t would be
Idle to deny that this result has been received with
general dissatisfaction. 1t must be clear, however,
shat this Dissatisfaction IS not wholly due to the
weight of the evidence against Mr.. Haywood. 1t
would probably be more accurate to attribute II
chiefly to a widespread disbelief in the ability of
the courts 10 punish a man Of wealth, influence
and social position. Guilty or not guilty, be
will go free" has been said all along; and so, just
" or uniustIy, the verdict Of the Wake County
jury has not seriously affected the verdict of the
mightier court Of public opinion. ANY man of
prominence or influence can commit murder in
this State with almost every assurance that his
punishment at most Will be but a few years in the
State prison" said the Statesville Landmark at
the time Of the Iaywood-Skinner tragedy; and
it is the painful truth that this sentiment was
endorsed by tens Of thousands of our fellow citi-
zens. We repeat therefore that, whether right or
wong. the opinion Of these men has not been
altered by the action of the court. On the con-
trary, the result has strengthened their luminosity
toward Mr.. Haywood and their disrespect for our
courts of justice.
We find then, that whichever horn of the diem
ma is taken, there is proof of an evil which i'm
peratively demands attention. If Mr.. Haywood is
innocent, then the weakness of the courts has
worked him grievous injury-it has brought about
such a state of public feeling that complete ac-
quittal by a jury of his peers has failed to restore
him to his place in public esteem, has failed to
remove the odium and shame of the charge of
crime. If, on the other hand, Mr.. Haywood is
guilty, then the weakness of the courts has done
grievOus injury to the public-it has set free a
man who committed a horrible crime, and has
dishonored the memory of a high-minded and
chivalrous citizen whose only offence was a desire
to protect the honor of his family. In either case,
we say, the weakness of the judiciary has brought
about a deplorable result. But if this deplorable
result shall bring into the full glare of public
criticism two or three of the most notable evils
in our judicial system, we shall get some good
from a condition which were otherwise wholly bad.
x X
The first of these evils in our judicial system is
the great disparity between the number of per
emptory challenges allowed the prisoner, and the
number allowed the State. In a recent opinion
of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Walter
Clark has strongly set forth the dangerous posi-
bilities of this system.
"FOrmerIy in a trial for a capital offense," be
says, "the prisoner was neither allowed counsel tt
speak for him, nor compulsory process to summon
