partisanship on the Rampage.
It is curious j,o observe how a spirit of intense
jjlgolry and unncrupuloun partisanship can
appropriatd to its own 'inl the most Incon
gruous materials. People of ordinary sense
and candor saw .nothing, wo presume, of a
political character in tho late case of a minister
V'ho, in the endeavor to secure tho obedience
Of his child, punished him ho severely as to
cause hU death. The papers have not in
formed us whether tho infatuated man was
In the habit of voting tho Democratic ticket or
tho Republican ticket; tho evidence before tho
jury on tho trial did not disclose whether ho
was a suri1ortor f Congress or of the Presi
dent;4 his views upon tho question of recon
struction wero not elicited, we believe; nor did
tho prosecuting attorney accuse tho poor
wretch of having been a pro-slavery man, from
hia excessive uso of an instrument of punish
ment once so much in vogue among Southern
Blave masters. It was reserved for tho lofty
imagination 'and the transcendent genius of
our Democratic contemporary to discover the
political bearings of tho transaction. That
paper gloats over tho miserable father's con
fession through a leader of nearly a column in
length, in which we are treated to "Mrs. Har
riet Boocher Stowe," "Uncle Tom's Cabin,"
"John Calvin," "Roger Williams," "The
Quakers," "Concrete Puritanism," "New
England influence," "Mr. Lincoln and his
75,000 mon," "Puritan sense of duty" all
closing up with tho profound and pathetic
peroratic exclamation: "And these are the
peple who talk of Southern cruelty !"
This is about as reasonable as it would have
keen for us to have tried to hold Catholicism
and tho Democratic party responsible for the
murders committed by Probst. Yet wo sup
pose there must be a class of minds ttpon
which sophistry of this kind has its effect. We
judge, however, that tho Age is wasting its
labors in that direction, since that class of peo
ple are already safely collected within the De
mocratic fold.
Our contemporary sneers at the expression,
"A sense of duty." It says that the hard
hearted creditor collects his debts from a
Bonso of duty; that Mrs. Stowe wrote "her
vile book" from a sense of duty; and that the
Calvinists drove Roger Williams out of Massa
chusetts, and whipped Quakers, from a (Tense
of duty, etc. etc. Our contemporary should
carry its illustrations further.' When the
Established Church of England persecuted the
Kon-conformists of every name, slaying them
ly thousands, are we to suppose that they did
not also pretend to act from a sense of duty?
Whon Philip and the bloody Alva drenched
the Netherlands in human gore, in tho inte
rests of Catholicism, was it from a love of
cruelty or from a mistaken sense of duty? Have
none but the Puritans ever erred from a sense
Of duty?
Como down to later times. Does not our
contemporary plead almost daily for Jeff.
Davis and the Southern Rebels genorally, be
cause they are assumed to hayo acted from a
Sense of duty in rebelling against tho United
States? Take the case of our contemporary
itself. Must we not suppose that it assisted
tho Robel cause, and did all it could against
the Government during the Rebellion, "from
sense of duty?" .Has it not been, too, from
& sense of duty, though a mistaken one, that
it has been such a persistent supporter of that
horrible and cruel system of oppression stig
matized by Wesley as "the sum of all vil
lanies?" Take its present persecution of the
colored race its attempts to deprive them of
nil social and civil rights; to prevent them
from being educated and enlightened; and to
thrust them down into degradation and vico
must we not suppose it acting purely from a
Bense of duty in this? If not if in its support
of cruelty, oppression, rebellion, treason,
slavery, and injustice generally, it has been
consciously and with malice prepense thus
acting against society, and against its own
'sense oi ctuiy men we must give to it a
much darker character than it even now pos
sessed. This is ad captamlum, wq know; but
it is a perfectly legitimate application of our
contemporary's style of arguing. The truth
is, a man's sense of duty is merely his sense
Of right. Through ignorance, prejudice,
liigotry, Or what not, he may err in his judg
ment of what is right, and so may conscien
tiously do what is in itself wrong. But are
therefore to discard conscience, ami urge
men to violate their senso of duty and do
what thoy believe to be wrong? Such would
Seem to be our contemporary's idea.
The Report of the New Orleans Investi
gating Committee.
Thb report of the committee of Congress ap
pointed to investigate the Now Orleans riot
vras read in the House of Representatives yes
terday. It . fully confirms tho previously
ormed popular judgment of that infamous
proceeding. Tho Committee say that there
Jiaa been no occasion during our national his
tory where a riot has occurred so destitute of
Justifiable cause, resulting in a massacre fco
inhuman and fiend-like, as that which took
place at New Orleans on the 30th of July last.
The riot was premeditated by Mayor Monroe
and the thugs and Rebels forming his police.
During the massaore, with exceptional cases,
tue police vied with the mob in the work of
murder. Over two hundred innocent persons
were butchered. Io policeman wan killed,
none noverely wounded, and only ten at all
injured.
The President lent himself, in advance, to
the purposes of Monroe and his bloody asso
ciates. Tho aid of the military was promised
to them, and orders to that effect were issued,
not through the Secretary of War, , or tho
General of tho army, but directly to the con
spirators themselves.
The condition of Louisiana demands tho
prompt interposition of tho United States
authority to save her from anarchy. Tho
Committee accordingly report a bill for the
organization of civil government within tho
limits of that State. It is carefully drawn, and
seems to meet the demands of the caso better
than any plan heretofore proposed. It will
come up for discussion to-day in tho House.
Admission of Ncbruskn A Hctrospcct.
It is now almost thirteen years since Stephen
A. DouglaH, then a Senator in Congress from
the Stato of Illinois, proposed an amendment
to a bill pending in the Senate for tho organi
zation of tho Territories of Kansas and Ne
braska, providing for tho repeal of tho slavery
restriction clause of the celebrated Mi shou ri
Compromise. Tho proposed measure, though
disguised under the specious name of "Popu
lar Sovereignty," was really brought forward
in the interest of tho slave power, then aiming
at supreme control in the Government of tho
nation. Like an overdose of poison, it proved
its own antidote. It served to rouso the
Rlnmliering conscience of tho nation, stupefied
and debauched by acquiescence in the infamous
Fugitive Slave bill, and other so-callfcd compro
mise measures of 1 850, and opened that final
epoch of the anti-slavery struggle whoso fruits
the nation is even now endeavoring to secure.
Upon the night of tho original passage of the
bill through the Senate, William II. Seward,
who led the little phalanx of anti-slavery men iu
that body, made a speech, whose lustre we could
wish had not since been so sadly dimmed, in
which ho uttered these striking words: "Come,
on, then, gentlemen of the Shoe States. Since
there is no escaping your challenge, J accept it in
behalf of the cause, of freedom. re will engage,
in competition for the virgin soil of Kansas, and
(Jod give the victory to the side vhirh in stronger
in numbers as it is in right.".
What a history from that day to this !
First came the Kansas struggle, lasting from
1855 to 18(51, and resulting in tho final down
fall of the Democratic party. Then followed
the Rebellion of tho South, and its wad efforts
to overthrow tho Government of tho nation,
resulting in the alwlition of slavery and the ex
tinction of the slave power. The ship of state
still tosses upon the uncalmed waves of that
great convulsion. Hut the progress she has
made towards the haven of Republican prin
ciples is shown in tho latest act of Federal
legislation, the admission of Nebraska as a
State upon the basis not only of liberty, but of
absolute political equality for all her inhabi
tants. How wonderfully has Providence over
ruled tho wrath of men, and caused their
wicked designs to further the great purposes of
His will!
Of tho men who voted for the Nebraska bill
in the Senate, poor Douglas has gone to his
grave, dying amid the fierce and bloody con
vulsion which he did so much to evoke; Cass
too has passed away; Hunter, Mason, Slidell,
Gwin. and Benjamin are traitors, fugitives,
and vagalwnds from the country which, failing
to rule, they attempted to ruin.
Of those who voted against tho bill, Foot and
Houston have passed from among men; Chase
is our honored Chief Justice; Seward is Secre
tary of State; Fessendon, Sumner, and Wade
are still in the Senate; and Hamlin has been
Vice-President.
Not one of the thirty-seven Senators who
voted for the bill is now in public life. Among
those who supported the bill iu the House of
Representatives, we find the names of James
II. Lane, Frederick P. Stanton, John C.
Breckinridge, J. A. McDougall, and otherSjjvho
have figured since in public life. Of the whole
number, however, 113, but two or three are
still left in official position.
Among the opponents of the bill in the
House we find the names of a large number
who aro still members of that lody, or in
other public positions, such as Banks, the
Vashburncs, John Wentworth, Governor
Fenton, Senators Yates and Morgan, L. D
Campbell, etc. Joshua R. Oiddings, and many
others of lesser note, liave passed away.
In all our political history, there is no one
governmental act which seems to have leen
the proximate cause of such great and startling
results as the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska
bill.
An English Journal says; "The dignified
repose of one of our highest courts of legal judi
cature wns disturbed on Saturday by an inci
dent of an uncommon description. During
momentary pause in tue business a decently
dressed man, speaking with a northern accent,
stood up in the Court of Queen's Bench, and
holding up his right hand, In which he held a
scrap of paper, said: 'My lor Is, my namo is
Jame9 Derbyshire, aud I am authorized to come
here to prove myself to be the heir of tnelana.
descended tram King James II.' The Lord
Chief Justice, with tbe most imperturbable
gravitv. asked If he had an v aDnlication to make;
and the reply being; m the negative, his lordship
said, "very well.'"

On the nirht of Dip 221 of .Tanuary. the dtronta

phenomenon. Ironi its very unusual occurrence.
This was a tall of rain which froze immediately
on reaching the ground. The whole suriaceof

which tho rain had fallen, was coated with a
shiet of Ice of uniform thickness, which elis

minutes the streets were rendered impassable.
It W8s painful to see the omnibuses and cab
horses stumbling in all directions on a sheet of
ice as hard and smooth as a slide, and much
more treacherous, from its uneven sun ace.

notions of club life are rather curious; but
there are one or two clubs in Vienna which
are not so unlike a sixth-rate London club, e. g.,
the Casino, the Commercial Club which, by-

with a furtive little chamber to read in and
the Union, a really comfortable, even 1 uri
nous club, with a tacade of splendid windows
overlooking the t'revunk, liveliest but one of

surprised to see, in a corner of the last-named
