The defendant “was. convicted and Governor Bussell-has pardoned bim. The Oxford ledger, a conservative and responsible paper, says of the matter: “The jury that tried Harris was composed of members of the different parties, and Solicitor Bynum argued ably and earnestly that he was guilty according to the bill of indictment and Harris was conyicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for two years by Judge McIver... He appealed to the Supreme Court, the judges of which court are non-partisan, and they efirmed the sentence of the court below. By the time this decision was hunded down, to the utter astonishment of our law~ abiding citizens the Governor issued his pardon. Was if all pre- arranged that Harris should noi enter the penitentiary ? »*Governor Russell in his inaug ‘oral addrees was particularly severe on lynch law, and we also are opposed to the exercise oi that kind of violence for the sup- pression of crime; but the indis- creet use of the pardoning power by the Governor, however muca Le and others may deprecate lynch law, is calculated to encour. age rather than to check it. What pecomes of the great cry that goes | up when a crime is committed : ‘Let tho law take its course,’ if the Governor will not even allow a criminal to enter the prison Malls ?” Governor Russell has been very -mnch eniticisea for his free exer- cise of the pardoning “ower, Some part of the criticism may not have been just.

Here a bill was drawn by a Republican solicitor and the case pressed to a conviction by the same. officer, Sentence was imposed, an appgal taken, the verdict and jaidgment . affirmed, aud before the prisoner can be gotten to the penitentiary he is pardoned by the Governor. # Upon this showing he has perpe- trated avery great outrage—tbere may be reasons which justify him, but they do not appear. - The newspaper press has been the sturdiest influence in North Carolina against the crime of lynch law, buat it would as well talk to the winds about “letting the law take ita « people come to believe that they ®:. @.

It is the only country in the world whose armies are provided with the Gras guns and paper- covered cartridges. The Greek flag is a white cross onablue ground—the Bavarian colors and the Greek cross. Greece is more thickly popu- lated than any other country in Europe, with the exception of Sweden and Prussia.

Its present boundary limits were dotermined by an arrange- ment among Gereat Britain, France, Russia and Turkey, con- cluded at Oonstantinople on July 21, 1832. Only about 70,000 inhabitants speak any language other than Greek, and only about 20,000 pro- fesa any religion other than the ortho€ox. The chief charactoristics of the average Greek are his inquisitive ness, fondness of excitement, love of discussion,desire for kaowl- edge, an aptitude for learning and aggressive patrivtism.
