Southern Ililffandage and Black-mail -A
Threatened Evil to the Cotton States.
The Southern papers are exceedingly exer
cised Just now orer tue threatening condition
of fouihern society. It would seem that t'ao
eastigatlon of that ill-fated country bas not
yet been concluded. Tho war, although it
haa desolated its fit-Ids, and made its garden?
billowed with graves, has not yet compelled
it to drain the cup of bitter repentance to
tLe dregs. With the exhaustion ol peace his
come a rew affliction, which threaten to
destroy its rising hopes even more than dlJ
the desperate charges of the military. We
refer to that br'gandage which, if we can
trusi our Southern exchanges, Is about to
overrun the cotton States. In a recent arti
cle on this additional pun'shmcot, the Rich
mond Time e&y s, editorially :
"Is bncnndiufe to become established in this
country t If oo, then thrre ueTer wa a la'rvr
Leld opened lor its siicccsal'til entorprises thin
is presented by the topography ot our couutry
and its condition s.nce the conolui'ian of the
war. Nor will there be men wanting to avail
themselves of the facilities a Horded by the stile
of the countiy to earn an easy livelihood by
criminal avocations. Such men have alrealv
been found, and the materials out of which
brigands aro made arc abundant, bath jN'orta
and South.
"The war, therefore, while it' did not ercala
brlpandatre, has elven it a new impetus, aul hjj
taught it that organization and 6trat?;sj so ue
tul for its suocesslul exercise. And by the
general unb Sing ot our laws, tho destruction
of social and political st stem', and the dctnur.i
lization ot tho people, brigandasrc has presented
for its occupation and employment a iuot
invltint? Held, in the l;ose and disjointed condi
tion of our society, in the povorty and unrin;rs
ot the people, in the tires ot sectionnl hale,
nnquenched bv any course of conciliatory kind
nes on the pait oi the Nona; in the thousand
of idle and desperate soldiers disbanded by the
war; in the vaMness o' our country, the number
and maenit.nlo of our rivers and mountain
rungo, we see a field opt nd for loo growth of
brigandage iu its most alurtuii'g and formidable
ptopoitions." ;
Nor docs it seem to us tbat th anticipation
of our comtcrnporaries is a: all misplaced.
The evil that they dread is not ut all unlikrfly
to ensue. All great wars have been followed
by a prevalence of the system of thieving and
murder, whether its perpetrators were termed
loresters, brigands, banditti, or patriots. Tho
War of the Roses In Great Britain, was fol
lowed by pre Jatory binds of both parties, who
follow ins in the wake of the contending
armies, were cither for York or Lancaster, as
policy suegested. The whole of tho kingdom
of Grenada was, for half a century after its
subjugation by Spain, tho scene of blood and
carnage; while, up to the present day, a
journey of titty miles from Rome wll brng
the traveller Into the camp of banditti. The
nature of that department of literature which
has treated of these lawless bands has been of
a character to promote the growth of
brigandage. The exploits of Robw
FJood, Dick TiitriN, and Jack Shep
pard have been so brilliantly celebratod
1 n prose and verse by English writers, that It
would not be Btrane if these worthies had
many disciples and imitators wherever the
country and the feelings of the people should
prove favorable. If brigandage existed in
densely populated England ; it it even thrives
acd prospers now in thickly settled Italy ; if
it has been successfully followed in t!ij oldest
and most refined portions of Mexico, there is
but too much reason to apprehend its appear
ance in the late Rebel States.
There is, therefore, a strong possibility, i '
not a probability, tbat the South will be
shortly infested, even more than she at pre
sent is, by a lawless band of depredators; and
that America will yet bo able to rival the Old
World in the possession of Dk La MAECKsand
Roias Hoods. In view of such a possib lity,
the .Southern papers suggest a peculiar
remedy. Ono of them says that "it is iu vain
to rely upon the forces of the Federal Govern
ment for a suppression of such a system, when
once established, because the army is being
tod rapidly reduced to make its presence and
influence appreciable over a country of such
vast and illimitable boundaries. Wttcro mar
tial law exists, the evils of brigandage wiU bo
aggravated by the paralysis of civil and tna
nicipal law, lnscparablo fern any system of
military government. If brigandage, for cen
turies, has existed wltbin twenty miles of
Naples and fifty miles of Rome, when Italian
towns and districts have been crowded with
French and native troops, all striving to de
stroy it, can Federal troops prevent ithre?
Whether tho evils which we now see bri
gandage and its consequences are to Increase
or diminish, will depend upon the establish
ment of civil law and order in the Southarn
States. ;When we are left to manage j our
own affairs, they will be managed well.
' With the best efforts and intentions,' Federal
and military government are insufficient re?
presentatives of State and local authorities
No one can manage a house so well as those
who own and reside; in It. ' ' - j
' We cannot agree with' our eonlenlpora? J in
regard 'to the remedy. If the ibre of the
United' States authorities' liannjt addition
to the local ' police1 restrain evil-doers, we
doubt If the police could do it were the mili
tary to be withdrawn. Let (he reins of mar
tial law be drawn closer; let the restriction
be made more rigorous ; let death be the sen
tence to all guerillas, and the South will be
freed. No effort of civil power can overcome

violence where the military fail. Should the
troops be recalled, as thcouth desires, there
would be an Irrepressible system of plunder
established, and the Unionists attacked by
Rebels under the disguise of banditti. Let
us protect all, and punish with rigor the
guilty. For violence can only overcome vio
lence, and lawles power be better subdued by
executions than by moral suasion. ' .
How Rills Past the Legislature of. Oar
State.
Thk constant stream of abuse which has been
for years poured on the morals, or rather the
lack of morality, ot the State Legislature
has not been without cause. Corruption and
bribery have been the ruling genii of the body,
and tho fairies of the ling resorted to meaner
tricks than ever wcro practlsad by the "bad
sp'ilte" of Arabian fable. That matters have
not much improved was shown by the Wittb
Nortiirop case, in which $25,009 was
decried necessary In orler to pave with
gieenback the way for the passage of a bill
in Itself both ust and necessary. But to par
ticularize some of the facilities which aid and
abet the sjstem of lobby blackmiilln?, W3
will cite the stpps necessary in order to secure
the passage oi any bill through both, branches
of the body.
After securing a number of lobby agents
men who are deemed Indispensable, and
whose profession is to buttonhole member.
and either bribe or bore the victim into assont
ing to a bill, the ordinance is presented iu
manuscript, and in manuscript referred to a
standing committee What little manipula
tion it undeieoes in the session of this clique
of omnipotent representatives we do not
know. I he curtain is closed, and all out
siders kept beyond th circle of the inter-pena-tralia.
If the committee reports favorably,
then the bill is read from the manuscript, and
either passed or defeated without any oppor
tunity being given to examine its provisions
calmly. Such is the routine, except in cer
tain cases, where the bill is printed as ' ths
Senate or House file. '
We utter our warmest protest against such
an arrangement. Let every bill bo printed by its
friends, and given not only into the hands of
the members, but also into the possession of
such journals as have readers who an inte
rested in its fate. Let it bo printed when first
moved, and before its reference, so that ttmo
may be allowed for its provisions to become
publ'c. Let the Star Chamber sjs:em of pass
ing ordinances and making laws be abolished.
What possible idea is conveyed to readers
when the legislative proceedings announce
the passpge of a bill to "Amend the supple-
mi nt to the Act incorporating the City of
FhiladelpLia V Under this dubious head may
be voted away some of tho most valued pre
rogatives of our city. No time is allowed
tor the diocussion and examination of a
measure, and a demand for a copy
of a bill is replied to ' by the-assurance
that if a copy be proured. 9lt must be en
grossed at the receiver's expense. If tany
man is to bo sufficiently benefited by a lawf
then it is his duty to see that that law be
printed at his own expense. We hope here
after that every bill will be published, and
matters be so arranged at HarriBburg as to
enable editors to give to their readers a full
account of all that is doing or done at the
State Capital.
Ministerial Stipend.
IIknky Ward Beeciiek, D. D., has bis sor
rows like lesser mortals, lie is tho elected
shepherd of a flock the most of whom have
money in their purses. They indulge iu tha
very highest style of aristocratic devotion.
The seats are cushioned with swans' down,
and the hymn-books are bound in most unre
proachable velvet. The high places ia the
synagogue are occupied by millionaires and
money kings. The canaille modestly locate
upon uncomfortable benches in tho aisle, or
give an attent ear to a dispensed gospel from
the remote back districts of the vestibule
Mr. Buecher' is a good preacher, and for
. many years past has been one of the most
I popular pulpit orators of this country. We
are gratified to knovy that his intellectual
gifts have not been without pecuniary appre
' eiation. We believe tbat lie at present enjoys
, the comfortable salary of $8000 per annum, a
sum which we do not obj ect to, for "the la-
borer ia worth? of bis hire," and in every con
' dition of life the best hands bring (he highest
I wageH., But Mj Beecher has discovered
thut this miserable pittance is insuflicient to
his wants, and that if sinners will have the
gospel preached to them, they must be pre
pared to pay for the luxury. Mr. Beecher
j announced to bis congregation on last Sab
bath morning that he stood in ueod of an
I assistant, so that, his multifarious lecturing
! engagements at $200 per night shall not be
seriously interfered with. The arrangement
... " 1 1 4tmn Via 4Hf BAmn vtt.fKAil V n f actmiav.r
ecclesiastic will be hired at a por diom to pray
with the dying and consuls the sorrow
stiicken. lie will, to some extent,' resemble
. the country curate of the time of Charles
j II, as described by Macaclay, who oscll
j latcd ftora the table of the nobleman where
be said grace over food from which he was
' required to abstain and groom horses which
i he was never requested to bestride. The
! associate pastor of Plymouth Church will ba
. required to do the weekly drudgeiy; assist
! the sexton in bis responsible duties during
I the weekday and evening services ; operate
' tbe organ bellows when tho important luuc
( tionary that attends to that duty is absent
t' from sickness or any unavoidable cause; and
i carry round the parish the b lls duo for pew
; lent and contingent expenses. The principal
will thus be enabled to imitate Satan, as
described by Jon, and ''go to and fro, and up
and dow n" doubtless to the instruction and
amusement, but certainly to bis ewu personal
emolument.
It would be hypocritical to object to tho
Intellectual feasts that are almost nightly pre
sented to the public la the lecture-room; and
among those who itand high la the profession,
Heabv Ward Bkeohkb is one. BTa has
doubtless done much good upon tho plat
form, as he has in the pulpit; but his chosen
profession la the preaching of the gospel, and
not lecturing. Paul was, perhaps, as good
ad example ot a true apostle as any men
tioned in sacred history, but he seldom lec
tured,' and never asked for an associate. We
are not informed as to what his annual salary
was; it may be tbat be could not afford the
luxury as eas'ly as our modem prlosts can,
but we are quite sure that be performed his
ministerial duties about as satisfactorily as
the majority of ld modern professional
brethren.' , m
However, riyinouih Church is rich, and
no doubt is able to staid the expense of a
sub-paator. ' Quite a number of God-fearing
and honest Christian men"are able to dis
cbarge all the duties of a pastorate on a
salary considerably under $1009 per annum,
and yet find time to till tho soil, look alter
the interests of their congregation, kneel at
the bedside of disease or death, and on that
small stipend imitate the good old parson
whom Goldsmith has immortalized "allure
to brighter worlds and lead tho way."
Clean sing Streets. The New York
Tribune says :
"We extract with amazement the following
from a Louuon journal :
"' I be firms which undertake to clean the citr,
Mt 1(0 mice s ULcloaned tluruu the suow-jturm,
an have cinifc q eut y bot-u tfuctf XJ a eirect, or
i'J.00 iu hi.' ,
"Singular condition of municipal felicity! We
have heard much of the detect in the Lou Jon
vestry and parish systems, and twenty other
matter, but a city that tli.es its contractors tor
not cleaning the streets is above all criticism.
The wildest -imagination cannot conceive such a
thing bemg attempted in New York. To clean
the atnetswhen there is snow is not deemed
wiihm the power ot humanity. Instead of fining
our contractors tor lailur.? in such circumstances,
we expressly exempt them troni obi gation; and
we observe that Messrs.. Ubown, Ubvoe, a id
Knapp, instead of keeping their carts at work,
write cards to show bow many people thro
their gnibaore into the streets."
Wis cordially echo the astonishment ex
pressed by the 7Viounc. What a celestialf
Utopian place London must be 1 11 in New
York they don't clein the streets from snowt
and ate 3 et not fined, and if in London they
are subjected to a penalty, how much worse
are we, when it is considered a piece of
hardly excusable impertinence to state that
the garbage and filth in our streets are not
removed 1 If in a century from now our city
be so far advanced in the course of civiliza
tion as to be able to induce the contractors
to even approximately do their duty, to even
execute their contract in a Pickwickian sense,
we will consider we have made a long stride
in the course of municipal reform. :
THE SUNDAY QUESTION.
The Tea Commandments.
To the Editor of the Kvtning 1 eleti-aih : ;
If an fiieineer were to construct a locomotive ol a
million hoivp power, fire it op and Blurt it in tue
midst of our city, without povernor or guide, to run
at landom through streets and through houses, carry
ing desolation and death Iu its Uarful coarse, would
tho public account him a wii" and good citizen? Or
would they hold lum lot a madman or aUond;and
call him to accouuc for tus conduct? If somo Van
Amburgh should turn adrif. an untamed elephant
or a lerocious lion upon the community, without
any poveming power to control him, would he bo
esteemed a wise and a eood man? And do you
tel. eve that God built such a machine and sont it
thuR adriit? Did He let looao upon His world such
an elephant, or inch a lion, and ret make no provi
sion lot its feovernment, ruio, and direction? Why,
my reader, the wise Creator enacted lawa for the
frovermuent ot every (creature of His hand. Dead
matter has its law; and livine animals ; are
Koveincd by instincts created in thorn, and
with tl, em. And cau you behove that man,
the ' crowning work of creation, and : tho
mightiest for (rood or evil of all tho mha
biters of earth, was thrown iuto the world without
law or ffoverniiitf piinuiple in him? Or do you not
rather believe that law moral law was jcou
created in him and with him : that be was created in
the lmajre of God, in knowledge, righteousness,' and
holiness; that this Imaire of God involved the tntiral
sense or conscience ; in snort, that ' man was made, a
moral aeeutand held accountable for his conduct?
If go, he must bare bad a law given to him as the
rule of his action. Tou cannot form a conception of
a moral agent which does not involve the idea of a
moral law that is, a rule prescribing duty, llcnoe
the jroncially received doctrine concerning the moral
law of man's oreation, that (rod mado man upright
and icave him a rule of action. To this Faul reiors
in Pomam, 11 15: " Which show tho work ot toe
law, written in their heart, their conscience aloo
bearing wituoss.' To deny a primitive revelation to
man ot an elementary law for a lule ot action, is to
deny his moral azency, aud to place him below the
brutes and birds, whose instincts are to them cTeo
tive laws. Such is not the characteristic of him who
is lord oi all thi lower creation.
Mow, this primitive revelation, o absolutely ne
cessary to man's moral agency, was common to tbe
race; and that it haj been ot ten disregarded by io
(hv'dualsia no more proof of its non-exlsteuee in
tbe earlier ages, than the runui nr of printing-presses
aud cars on Sunday is proof that Pennsylvania has
never had a law against such things. Tne lirsc re
corded of those primitive laws, as we have seen is,
tbat prescribing the appropriation ol one day In
seven to rest from labor physical,, aud to acne
labor in tbinirs spiritual. But llm there i were
other moral rules for man in tho various relations
of society, cannot be doubted. No law against mur
der is named in the record, bot the death of Aoel
and tho treatmout ot bis murderer, in whose tavor n
pardon, or rather a noli prosequi was issued, bows
tbat such a law was well known at that day. .
We now enter on the proof of the proposition,
that the law of t hi leu Commandinenu is a summary
re-enactment :t tbe moral la v under which tied
had placed man.
1. Let us advert to their history. On month after
the revival and restoration o. the Subbatic U,
Israol arrived at Sinai; Moses, the vicegerent of God,
their King, went up tbe very next day to meet God
on tbe Mount Exodus xix, S. God remanded him
back to tbe veowlo, to submit to them tbe terms ot a
covenant which he proposed to establish between
IIimset and Israel. Its terms are "It ye will obey
niy voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye
shall bo a peculiar troviure to me above all veo.ilo
for nil tbe earth is tniDe And je shall be onto me a
klnpdom of priests; and a holy nation." Verses 6, 6
Mose wiiiit down "and called the eldors of the
people an,d laid before their tacos all those
words." And all tho psop'e (thut is, by their
representatives, the Elders) amrwered together, and
raid, "All that the hot nathspKn we will do "
Verses 7, a. And Moe returned the words jt tbe
t eople unto tbe Lord. Ihu negotiation ores
pled two dava, and Hoses was directed to
go down and make all proper arrangements for tbe
awful solomnitles of the third day. Bounds are to
be marked along tho base of the Mount, over which
no man or beast must pass. Vt 12,18. The moi nine
ot tho third day from their arrival was ushered in
by tbe loud discharges of heaven's artillery 1 "l'hna
den and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the
Honnt, and the voice of tbe trumnet exceeding loud,
to tbat all tho people that were in tbe camp trem
bled." And, remomber, they numbered three mil
lions. "And Hones brought forth the people out of
the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the
netber pare of the Mount. And Mount Sinai was
altogether on a smoke, because the Lord desoonded
upon it in firei and tho smoke thereof ascendod
as tbp smote of a lurnace, and the whole Mount
quaked greatly. And whn the voice ot tho trum
pet sounded long, and waxed louder' and loader,
Moses spake, and God answerod him by a
voter. And the 1 ord eime down upon Mount Sinai,
on the top of the Mount, and the Loid called Moss
up to the top of tbe Mount, and Mojes went
op." Vs. 16-26. Such are'the scenes preparatory to
the giving of tbe law of the Ten Commandments;
the central one of which wicked man desires to
strike out, and thus to drown the thunders of omni
potence in the mad bellowings of Mammon tor
monet ! money ( money t Tbe grandest and most

THE OIL CONFLAGRATION.
DiSMliounFii-fon llt.ntiofr Kan Four-
leu WIim urn Plr.
Jfrom the Reno Times, February 2.
At 9 o'clock lBt night we received the follow
ing despatch:
xetkolbcm uentrk, January at. Editor Jieno
Times: A trreat fire is rapine on BonnchotT It in.
It oricinated from a spars from the auiock-slack:
of tbe Getty Well. All the wells in the vicinity,
twenty-two in number, are on fire; about 30,011(1
Darreia oi on consumed, as tne on rung down
tbe stream tbe fire lollows, and is setting every
thing within its reach on fire. The oil is still
burning us it flows from the wells.
Onr reporter immediately started for the scene
of the dihUbter (elaven irnlcs dmtant) ab obtained
lull particulars, which wm dh found below:
Yesterday afternoon, as some of the carpen
ters fwete employed in errectinjr tanks at the
Gettv Well, at about 4 o'clock P. M it suddenly
took fire, and before the lapse of twenty mtuutes
it had spread over the suriuco of at leant an acre
o ground, wrapping in the Homes no less than
nine of the bet producing wellm on the run. As
near as cuu be estimated, there was accumulated
u the consumed tanks, previous to the tire,
about 7000 barrels of oil. No. 20 on the creek:
recently e.ate excellent feigns of becoming a
large prodncintr well, but the tools' recently got
fast and delayed its furthor development. ' It is
probably owing to this cause that all the wells
on the run were not ignited. ' The lire proccedsd
from the Getty Well upwards until it reached
No. .29, and contain, ed the engine house, der
ricks, etc., on this lease ulso.
At this etaee a heroic son Of thp Emerald Isle
mounted the rootling of the adioing tan us and,
notwithxtunding 'the imminent danger of the gas
arising from thorn catching tire and wrapping
him in certain and terrible death, ho continued
to pour water down the sides of the tank which
was lapped up by the fire on the cround at the
bnpe. There was no oil on No. 2D, and owing
to this, and, ns stated by a number of spectators,
tho eflons of the party alluded to, the (lames
were kpt from proceeding further up the creek,
and at least half of the wells saved. It is sup
posed that the enrpenters- engaged about the
G'etty wtll had been smoking and thus origi
nated the tire. So soon as the tanks burst
the liquid flames rolled down the valley ot
the run, licking up the water and everything
in ils career. In half an hour from the
tiret outbreak a stream of fire nearly half a mile
in length extended down the stream, and several
engine houses and derricks were thus consumed.
The rails of the hoise 1 rack which was laid up
the run, were bent and twisted by the heat into
all the shapes of writhing serpents. The bridges
both on the track and highway were generally
burnt, liurnine pools of oil, tiees fiery to their
tops, mouldering masses of ruined machinery,
twisted tank hoops, and blackened stumps,
oflicu and hillside are all that remain thl morn
ing to toll the tad tale. The lollowing lint of pro
perty consumed has been compiled haatily, but
will probably be found not far from correct:
Tho Getty, owned by R. P. Getty & Son, Dr.
Getty and K. ('. Getty, with all surroundings,
arid 2000 barrels f oil In the tank, etc.
The Ilarkins Well, tank, etc., including 1200
barrels of oil, owned by 8. Ro?8, K. C. tJotton,

and T. Froth iufliam. i
Mo. S3, owned by Jfssrs. Coddmgton, Spcnce,
WiLson, Moore, and others. The tanks were
supposed to contain 1500 barrels ot oil.
No. U4, owned tn a greRt measure by the same
parties. Two tanks containing 600.
So. 20, owned by Nonlcn & Frotbinghan, aud
oti.ers. No oil consumed.
No. 28, owned iully by tbe Rennnholf liun
Pptroleum Company, with 600 barrels of oil.
The Clurko Well had previously etoppea pro
ducing, but its tauks contained considerable oil
belonging to other parties, all of which was
burned.
On the Getty Lea?e two derricks, engines, rigs,
etc., were destroyed. On the Hitrkius or Kroth
iiiKbam Lease the same number suffered a bite
lute; ditto on S3; one well on 3-1. Ou rlio
Northern Light Company's territory two wells
were burned, one ot whtcn was produciug some
oil. The other was beintr tested. I'ro'iaii'y not
more than three hundred barrels of od Wds de
stroyed on this territory. To be included in tho
