Ti*e state of North Carolina ha* now under arrest thirty lynchers. The trial will beau interesting one. It may have a marked tendency to suppress m >l> law. The alliance says it will :ontrol the next Georgia legislature. Well, if they do it on democratic priaei plcs, they may. The present one needs to he controlled by' soma or ganization. Is it possible that Vice Pres. Morton has taken out a liquor li cense fer his hotel in Washington? The second highest officer et the land, an accessor to the increase ef crime! Wei' may the hangman’s rope lloarish! Tke Banner claims to keep in democratic lines. This is nothing mere than the Press of the South must do. Next ye&rwiil be a tell ing ©no of how strong democratic principles are in the South, and what binds them. As yet nothing has been dene with the state road. The legisla ture, it seems, has found an ale .phaut in Joe Brown’s betterments. Stn. Brown wants pay, and lfthe state don’t want a big iaw suit it will have te pay him. Judge Lewis, with a band of Go armed men, holds the fort in La mar county, Ivy. Ho claims to have been sent out by Gov, Buck ner. The Howards say'' they will uot violate Buckners’ erd*rs, and are leaving the county. The Montgomery, Ala. Exposi tion promises to be a goad'one. Excursion fares will be given ©n ail connecting lines to th city. Montgomery is the prettiest city of 25,000 the writer has seen any where in the South. There are some newspapers m tiie South slill engaged in undue criticism to Gov. Hill’s speeches ot a few weeks ago. For instance, lhe Charleston News & Courier. This journal makes an attack on the governor as saving “I am a demo crat,” Hid the News & Courier expect the governor to say he was a republican coaling South to be tray Southern democracy? It looks a little that wav to democrats. The Dr. Cronin murder trial is censurning wonderful time and r.s- Miraing a peculiar shape. It now holds lha position of a farce on the part of the prosecution to get at the real murderers. The testimo ny is perjured. Before the trial is done with, it will exceed the Tom Y/oilfolk easy ot this state, and may cost Chicago several thousand Vollars over that of Berry county.

This he submit ted to his cabinet. But his coun cillors bitterly and unanimously' opposed his message as far as these measures. Had Lincoln lived he might have proved loyal to the South and re deemed himself of the great wrong to the South, that now hangs over his temb. But, with virtue to the depressed South at Ids death, it was net a Southerner that fired ilie fatal shot. Edwin Booth was not a Southern man by heritage, wlnt might have been his simpatliy that prompted him in his stage drama in a New York theatre, to shoot Lincoln in his private box, he in creased renewed strife and a mere heated hatred and suppressive of the North for lh© South. Against Trusts An I Monopolies. It is an encouraging sign to see the democratic party everywhere taking a decided and determined stand against monopolies and trust and the legislation which aids and protects them. On this line, which is closely associated with that ot tariff reform, the next great politic al contests of the country are to be fought, and it is none too early for parties to betaken their respective positions. It is already apparent that ©ld party lines will be badly broken by this issue. The alliancemen of the South have generally taken their stand against trusts and monapo lies, and now we have reports tint in the northwestern states, arising industrial ©rdr called the Patrons of Husbandry, is organizing with opposition to those combinations as its cornerstone. In both these organizations old party aiigments are ignored in the purpose to anta gonize the trusts and monopolies that are the great business and commercial of the times. It is to be regretted that the dein ecratic legislature of Ueorgia lags in the enforcement of the eoasfcitu tional prohibition of the great" rail road trust. But the present indica tions aro that there will soon be such an amusement agiinst trusts and monopolies generally that the performance of that duty can not be much longer delayed.—[Atlan ta Journal. Costly Coffee. According to Mr. Jeseph J. O’Donohue, the coffee-drinkers of the United States arj paying for this article $30,000,000 a year mere than they ought. This is a big sum of money aad the state ment is worth looking ini®. iuoi’G is ho coiiea trust, and no solfo® “combino.” There was an attempt to corner the eoilbe mar ket so me months ago, A number of dealers got together and organ ized-for the purpose ot buying 0 all the coffee in tho m irket,* but tho : coinor fell in with a irunendious <'.isSi hi.J s'M!K> of 'ho organizers were b <ll y hnr*. le vie-a* <>f t ’ et-e facts, Mr O Dono line's *a? merit is in-oresiiog.

Oct. 2S —He who Gares to write on a nubject so thread Issue --a that of drink, will find a hold of ripe promise in Washington. Yes terday afternoon I was passing one of the most exclusive restaurants in tko city, when I observed three young la dies emerge from the elegant vestibule and outer a public hack that bad the cat tains partly drawn. All three wc-ra reiy young written and very beautiful. 1 knew two; one was the daughter of a United States Senator, tbs others nearly related. All were drank; they were not simply tipsy, but drut.k. One dropped her bat aud tbe exertion required to replace it, eo exbarts ed her thnt tbe vigorous sssist at’co of'be driver was necessary. Two fcelpiesK dudes who tried to start a quirk flirtation with tbe young women were promptly anubb. and, sn aoti a which cast perhaps one ray ot tun sh ine across their record. T.;e sadness of the drink story is no-' where more marked than in the case of Ilenry D. Gregg, who went a few days ago to the Missouri pentifentiary lor live years as sentence for stealing a horse and boggy. Gregg was the sv.k of an able Irish divine, and after graduating at Dublin university c&me tj thid country. He entered the serv ice of Gen. Sheridan as his private sea ralary, and was afterwards a clerk in tbe war depart, neat. Ha was a man of pleasing address and considerable ability. Every opportunity was giv en nixi, but he would not reform. He finally dritted west, and his arrest fin ishes the story. W bet temperance lecture could toil more?
