Ate German-American Citizens Less
Moral Than rhelr Neighbors ?
A statement has boenmade by a contempo
rary, in connection with the late Deabing
tragedy, which Is calculated, In our opinion,
to do the greatest injustice to a class ol Amer
ican society for whom we have the h'ghest
respect. Our neighbor assorts that the great
majority of the murders committed in this
country are perpetrated by German emigrants,
and deduces the broad conclusion that the
Germans as a people are more addicted to
homicide than any other of the nations of
Europe ; that, in fact, the instincts ol' the race
are naturally bad, and the taking of human
life is but the corollary to their metaphyslca '
faith and early training. For any American
editor to quietly sit down, and pass judgment
upon a largo and respectable class of his
fellow-citizens, giving them a character at once
infamous and inapproprIate,exhibits an absence
ot both Intelligence and conscience which
surprlsos us. For one man to accuse a popu
lation of thousands of a natural tendency to
murder, and include within his sweeping
assertion hundreds of thousands of the most
honest, industrious, and peaceable of our citi
zens, is the assumption of a judicial character
which we hardly expected any private person
would aspire to. Without, however, any pro
positions from which to draw this conclusion,
we are told that the prevalence of crime is
due to the introduction of the German ele
ment into our society.
Having always had a desire to see justice
accorded to all, it is only natural that we ask
evidence to warrant such a sentence. True,
we are told that of the murders committed in
our city a larger proportion have been per
petrated by Germans than any other people.
And what does this prove ? That out of the
dozen leading homicides which have horrified
our community, say fifty per cent, are done
by natives of Germany, and ol all the murders
of which the authors are unknown.it is in
ferred that a like proportion were performed
by this malisrned people. Because within the
circumscribed sphere of our observation a
slight preponderance ol crimes ara justly laid
at the door o( a certain nation, have we any
right to conclude that the great body of that
people are less moral than their neighbors ?
Should the crimes of half-a-dozen villains
involve an honest and peaceable class of
society In their odium ? We think that tha rea
son why such a large proportion of criminals
are Germans, is found in the fact that of late
years It has been the policy of the Governments
ot Prussia and Austria especially, and probably
of their smaller neighbors, to release convicts
from prison provided they promise to emi
grate to America. The recent resolution
passed by Congress protesting against so
barbarous a course, was especially directed to
the Germanic States, and proves that the cus
tom was general. Peobbt was identified by
an acquaintance of his who had known him in
Europe, as coming from the neighborhood of
the celebrated penitentiary at Theingen. It
such is the practice, need we be surprised that
the greatest criminals of the Old World should
continue tbeir misdeeds in the New ? We be
ieve that, if full data of the nationality of
the leading murderers were prepared,it would
be found that the number of Germans was
no larger in proportion to the current of
emigration, than that of any other European
n.tlon; that, in fact, the Italians would
rather exceed tbeir northern neighbors.
The German-American population in
Pennsylvania is immense. It docs not
coalesce and merge into the native element,
but is so extensive that its influence as a dis-,
tinct society is perceptible in all our political
contests. The support of three German papers
in Philadelphia, whese circulation will com
pare favorably with that of any of their Eng
lish contemporaries, is evidence of the extent of
this class of cur community. In the interior of
the State whole counties are populated en
tirely by them. A mingling of their native
tongue is the language in vogue, and through
out all the western part of our Commonwealth
we find the German to be the controlling
element ; yet we hear of no excess of crime
in those localities. We are not shocked with
any nuuibiT of great offenses; in fact, there
appears to be even less atrocious murders than
in other parts of the land; and if the national
character of the German was, as our con
temporary states, so addicted to vicious deedst
surely we would Bse evidence ot it in those
places where they predominate.
The truth is, on the contrary, that the
German temperament is the very reverie of
what is asserted. It is sociable, jovial, warm
hearted, and honest, overflowing with hospi
tality, plain, simple, and quiet. There Is no
nation more bound together, and none
wherein a stranger is more warmly received .
The best evidence of their good feeling Is the
existence of so many German societies. The
Old and the Young Mennroehor, the Scenger
bund, and a number of minor associations,
are all in active life. Picnics, parties, balls,
feuppers, masquerades, and all of the social
gatherings, are continually held under their
management, and the love for their father
land is kept burning by constant eontact
with each other. Real friendship exist, aud
at their numerous ussembliugs, It is proof of
THE DAILY. EVENING TELEGIUril. PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
the natural warmth of the German heart
that not many disturbances occur. t What
other foreign people could hold so many, and
yet commit so faw breaches of the peace?
What other nation could have picnics with
out quarrels, and wild dances without dis
turbanceo r
In fict, the accusation of our neighbor has
no foundation whatever in truth. It Is a slan
der on one ol the best classes ot our commu
nity. We can see no cause which can excuse
the injustice done, when an editor assails a
whole nationality became a native of that
country commits a great crime. In the pre
sent case It is even doubtful whether the mur
derer is a German, but whether he is or is not
is a small matter. The whole course of German-American
society goes to prove that if a
dozen Probsts were to appear, and each
commit as great an offense, it could not injure
the residents In our midst. They have proven
their hoLest and peaceful disposition by years
of faithful citizenship, and no slandors of
journals can injure their character or attach
any opprobrium to the Germau-American
name.
Settlements Under the Homestead Law.
The returns from our Western land offices for
the last few months show a remarkably active
and increasing movement in the disposal, of
the public lands. We are glad to believe that
the greater part ot this is due to actual settle
ments under the Homestead law. There are
some reasons why this should be so. The
Homestead .act was passed early in the ad
ministration of President Lincoln". The
four years of terrible and exhausting war
which ensued effectually checked for the
time the westward flow of emigration. The
hardy sons of toil were called off from their
accustomed peaceful march towards the
setting sun, and became the pioneers of free
dom's great host in the contest with slavery
and rebellion. The physical part of that con
flict being now over, the westward march is
once again taken up. and we behold Its first
fruits in the increased disposal of the public
lands.
We are thus really for the first time begin
ning to behold the results of tlie homestead
policy. That those results will be in the
highest degree beneficial to the entire coun
try we have no doubt. It "is probable that
the era of gigantic land speculations in the
West belongs now pretty much to the past.
Its evil effects, however, will last for genera
tions, and-will be a perpetual monument to
the folly which 'so long, in the shape of pro
slavery Democracy ruled in our national
councils. Had the homestead policy been
inaugurated thirty years ago, the curse of
land monopoly would not now rest upon so
many of the fairest portions of the West. In
stead of vast tracts of unimproved land,
owned by non-residents, and retarding set
tlement, dividing communities, and hinder
ing the establishment ot schools and churches,
producing nothing and waiting for the "rise"
said rise being nothing more than the
enhanced value of these idle lands from
the hard toil and persevering industry
of the actual set tler we should have beheld a
land of small farms, compact settlements,
good roads, convenient schools, and well-
sustained ehurches. Three-fourths of all the
trials and difficulties of pioneer life in the
West are due to land monopoly. The West
has grown with astonishing rapidity, and its
developments of material resources are, in
some respects, almost marvellous; but it
would have been lar richer, greater, and more
powerful, had no foot of Government land
ever been sold to a speculator.
Under the Homestead law, each man who
avails himself of its provisions becomes an
actual settler. He has 160 acres of land free
of all cost, except the nominal lee of some ten
dollars. At the end of five years of cultiva
tion he gets his deed from the Government.
There are thousands and tens of thousands
of men paying bigh rents In our cities, and
barely able to support their families, without
laying up a penny for old age or a rainy day,
who might infinitely better Jhelr condition,
and soon become the independent proprietors
of their own homes, by summoning up cour
age to strike for the West, and take up farms
nnder this beneficent act. There are millions
ot acres there still unoccupied, and as good
land as the sun ever shone upon.
. The Disease among Cattle in Panama.
We are Inclined to believe that the disease
which is reported to have broken out among
the cattle in Panama, and which it is feared
may the fatal rinderpest ol the Eastern Con
tinent, is, after all, nothing more than a kind
of murrain that prevails, more or less exten
sively, every year in the Southwest, and that
sometimes assumes the form of a very fatal
epidemic. It is known in the West under
the name of the Upanish or Texas feeer, and
is deemed contagious. During the summer
of 1800 an exceedingly hot and dry season
this epidemic prevailed among the cattle
in Kansas, carrying them off by thousands.
It was popularly supposed to have been
introduced by droves of cattle passing
through the Territory from Texas; and
after the experience of a lew seasons, this
idea of its origin became so general that
stringent statutes were passed by the Legisla
ture of Kansas, forbidding, under heavy
'penalties, the driving of cattle through any of
the Inhabited portions ot the State, during the
warm months, either from Texas, Arkansas,
or the Indian Territory. These precautions
proved effectual, and of late years we have
heard no complaints of the disease frAin that
or other States.
This Spanish fever has many of the charac
teristlcs ascribed to the rinderpest, and If not
the same disease, Is of the same general char
acter. It seems to originate upon the vst
plains of Texas and Central America, snd
probably prevails ttere, Jo, greatgc or
malignity at all times. In Panama it may
have taken on a partlcalarly fatal form, and
thus induced the belief that it is the genuine
rinderpest which is causing such havoc among
the cattle in England.

LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.
Court of Qnnrter Sessions Allison, 1'. J
A greater part of this morning was taken up in form
ing a new jury, i here wore lilty-two persons tor
tho jury, and thirty-four applied for exouse. There
were only iourtcen legal excuses given. Three,
although not having strictly legal exouscs, had such
strong pitas that the Judge said that be would not
compel them by a tine to stay. The Judge said that
sickness, age, or bervice as a juror within a certain
period would be If ga' excuses, but that business was
not; and as most of the pleas profferod were of in
convenience in Lusiness.the Judge compelled most of
them io remain at Court.
Inconsequence of tne time occupied thus, there
was only one case before the jury up to this
writing.
John Bosknrville was convicted ot tbe laroeny of
shoes and boots to the value of $323, the property
ol J. jb. Ballard. Ou the night of the 2d of April,
about 9 o'clock, tbe prtva e watchman of that
neighborhood saw the light put out at Mr. Ballard's
store, on Eighth and Filbert, and saw a man enter.
He waited a few moments, and then walked into the
store, and lighted a match.
In a corner he saw Boskerville in a stooping posi
tion ; Boskeivllie ran at the door, rushed against it,
and finally got out, and ran up Filbert street; the
private watchman kept his eye on the fugitive, aud
nabbed him as he was again running down Filoert ;
m the corner where Boskerville was first seen was
found a bag, with a pair of gentleman's gaiters,
and a pair of boots. The goods were found In great
contunion, and 826 worth missing. None ot the pro-
Iierty was found upon the person of tne defendant;
tut it seems that he was an aider and abettor of
others engaged in the larceny.

IJEASONS WHY T II H
AMERICAN WATCH,
MADE AT WALIHAiT, MASSACHUSETTS,
U TUB BEST.
It is made on the best principle. Its frame f com
posed ot SOUD PLATEN. iiO Jaroen Interfere wltfc
the harmony of Its working, aid no SJJden shook caa
damage lis machinery Evety pitoe is made and
flnisbed by machinery (ItirU famous foe Im novsltj, aa
wel tJ foi IU effectiveness) and la ttercfore properly
matte. The watch is what ail mecban'itn should be
ACt URATE, SIMPLE, ETROKU, AMD ECUSOMI-
CAL. fxoept sonat hiyh grades, tio oostly for general
nse, foreign watches aie chiefly made br women and
boys. Such watches ar composed of several kindred
piroes, screwed and riveted together, and require eon-
sunt repairs to keep them in any kind ef order. Alt
pcrtons who have carnea "ano es." ''leplnes," and
English raUot LeveM," are perfectly well awara ot
the truth of this statement.
At the beginning ot our enterprise, mare than tea
years ago, It was our ftrat object to make a thoroughly
good low-priced watch tor tbe million, o take th p ace
of these foreign lutwosi i tons tbe reiasa ot foreign fac
torlea wb'oh were entirely unsaleable at home and
perfectly worthless everywhere.
How well we have accr. mpllshed this may bs under
stood from the fact, that Aftar so many year oi putUe
trial, wa now make MORE THAN HALF OF ALL
THE WATCHES SOLD IN THE UNITED STATES,
and that no ethers have evor given saoh cnlversal
tatltfaotlon. Wills this department of our business Is
continued with increased facilities for per.oct work, we
are at present engajed In the manuiaoture of watch
of the very -
Highest Grade Known to Chronometry,
Unequalled by anything hitherto made by ourselves.
and unsurpassed by any thing mad la tbe world, for
this purpose we have th amplest facilities. We have
erected an addition to our main bulldmgs exprei lyfor
this branch of oar business and have tilled It with the
best workmer in our servlo. New machines and ap
pliance tisre been constructed, which perform their
work with consummate delicacy and exactness. Tbe
choicest and most approved materials only are used,
and we challenge comparison oe tween this k rails of our
work and the finest Imparted chronometers. -
W do not pretend to soil our watohes for less MOMsr
than foreign watches, but w do assert, wlthont fear ot
contradiction, tbat ior tbt sakr MOMir our product is
incomparably supeilor.
All our watches, of whatever grade, ar fully war
ranted, and this warrantee is good at all tlmot against
us or our agent In all parts of th world.
CAUTION.
A a th high reputation of our watches has caused
tbem to be extensively counterfeited by foreign makers,
and sold hi this country as genuine, the public are cau
tioned to buy only ot respectable dealers. All person
selling counterfeits will be exposed and prosecuted.
