A Bad Example.
8bam Democracj has Just tried its hand at
Constitution-making in Maryland, .and its
chief achievements mar be summed up in the
enfranchisement of Rebels and the aisenfran
chisement of colored citizens. Slavery is not
reestablished, but the General Government is
called npon to pay for the slaves that Mary
land one had. The right of testifying in the
Courts on the part of colored citizens is granted,
lut is made subject to repeal by the Legis
lature. South Carolina will soon be engaged in
framing a constitution, and as her colored
citiiena considerably outnumber the whites,
let 03 suppose that the South Carolina colored
men should follow the example set them by
th Maryland Demoorats, only putting the
boot on the other leg, and should disfranchise
all the whites. Would they not have as good
a right to do it as the Marylanders have to dis
franchise the blaokB f Would there be any
essential injustice in the one case more than in
the other f If there is no fundamental basis of
equal rights in this matter, and the stronger
may at will deprive the weaker of all political
privileges and immunities, it is impossible to
seflwhythe blacks might not rightfully re
taliate wherever they have a chance.
Suoh action as this in Maryland serves to
bring out in bold relief the essential dis
koneBty and want of principle of sham De
mocracy. It pretends to great horror of the
injustice of disfranchisement when it3 own
parUsana are touched, but deliberately turns
Around and disfranchises its opponents when
over it can command the power to do it.
What is this but the most shameless disregard
of prinoiple f And what is it but the essential
spirit of anarchy ? It bids the strongest rule
according to his strength not acoording to
right. Its whole tendency is to array com
munity against community, and to sow broad
cast the seeds of civil strife.
We hear a great deal of prating from so
called Democrats about the danger of a war of
races. What could be more productive of
suoh a result than such action as thi3 of the
Maryland Constitutional , Convention, if gene
rally carried out ? There is but one way for
the people of this country, of all races, colors,
and creeds, to live peaceably and quietly to
gether, and that is for them to accord to each
other eaual rights and privileges. This is the
great American principle, and it is the sove
reign remedy for all our ills.
Secretary Stanton.
Tan small-potato politicians of the Democratic
party are felicitating themselves as though
Secretary Stanton had finally been disposed
of. We advise them to restrain their mirth.
Edwin M. Stanton is still the Secretary of
War. prevented from exercising its functions
for a few weeks, it is true; but still the legiti
mate incumbent of the office, and will remain
so until, by the advice and consent of the
Senate of the United States, he shall have
been removed. Upon the reassembling of
Congress, Andrew Johnson must present to
the Senate those charges against Secretary
Stanton upon which he has taken the respon
sibility of suspending him from the exercise
of the functions of his office. Is anybody
simple enough to suppose that the Senate
will endorse President Johnson's charges by
removing Secretary Stanton? Not a bit
of it. He can make no charges
affecting Secretary Stanton's integrity and
ability in the administration of the War De
partment. He must ask his removal on po
litical grounds, and on these the Senate will
not consent to it. What then t Why,
simply that things remain as though Secre
tary Stanton had never been suspended. The
President fails, baffled and humiliated, while
the officer whom he has attempted to override
and disgrace becomes more popular and
powerful than ever before.
Still more, the offensive and gratuitous war
fare that the President has waged against
the Secretary will have absolved the latter
from all obligations of whatever sort he may
have felt towards him. Mr. Stanton will then
hold bis offioe by the direct endorsement of
the representatives of the people, and will
wield its whole power with his own matchless
energy and ability in their defense. The
Blotters and schemers who think that they
ave got rid of Secretary Stanton are destined
- to be greatly disappointed. ,
Thi Cuba Tklbobafh Cable. The success
ful laying of the telegraphic cable between
Key West and Havana is another triumph of
science and of engineering skill. The perse
verance of those in charge of the work, in
searching so long and so persistently for the
lost cable after it parted, was well rewarded
by their final sucoess. The laying of this
oable is the first step towards establishing tele
graphic communication between this country
, and the entire group of West India Islands,
and probably, at no distant day, between us
and South America. Its effect upon our com
merce cannot but be beneficial in the highest
degree.
Thi Nbw Yobk Cohstitutional Convbstiox
has adopted a provision that, in case of the in
solvency of a bank, the bill-holders shall take
rrfarenoe over all other creditors. This is a
correct prinoiple. The bill-holder, in almost
.11 Instaiioes. is an involuntary creditor of the
bank, and should be first protected. What
ever is allowed to circulate as money should
te rendered as secure from loss or depreciation
as possible.
THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA," FRIDAY,
What Constitute "Soat and Pinpoi
nt Mind t"
Whrnrvbb any one makes a queer will, a
will out of the ordinary rule of suoh docu
ments, and cuts off his or her relatives, and
leaves a oompetenoy for dogs, oats, or oana
ries, there at once arises a general doubt as to
the sanity of the testator. Nor do we think
that the general feeling on the part of the
community, that a person who leaves all his
property to strangers and negleoU his blood
relations is not of sound mind, is at all an un
warranted or ungenerous one. When a man
n the full possession of his reason sits down
to make his will, a document which he knows
will not go into effect until his soul has beau
summoned into the presence of its Maker, he
will, as a rule, act in accordance with the dic
tates of natural feeling, and leave his posses
sions to those in whose veins hi own blood
flows. Such is the natural conduct of
any one, and when we see a gross
and glaring deviation from this, and
an action in direct opposition to
what we had a right to expeot, it is not unrea
sonable that we should doubt the sanity of one
who would violate all law of human sympathy.
The most remarkable case which has lately
been brought before the publio is that of a
Mrs. Thwaites, of London, who died leaving an
immense estate. The will of the testatrix left
nearly all her property, amounting to 400,000,
or $2,000,000, to persons in no way related to
her, and who were connected with her in
very anomalous relations. After leaving enor
mous legacies to her butcher and grocer, and
all her domestics, varying from (000 to
20,000, she made Dr. Samuel Smith and his
brother, Mr. Simm Smith, residuary legatees,
thus leaving them about 180,000, or $000,000.
Upon the will being brought forward for ad
mission to probate, the sister of Mrs. Thwaites,
and her nieces, contested the document on
the ground of incapacity and undue influ
ence. The trial of the case developed a story
of one of the strongest cases of hallucination
that has fallen under our notice. It seems
that in 1832 Mrs. Thwaites was sick for six or
eight weeks, and was attended by Dr. Smith.
When she recovered she was possessed of
the idea that she had been born again literally
newly made of real flesh and blood. From
that time she held the most astonishing
opinions, in which she was encouraged by
Dr. Smith. Before her oddities, all the men
who imagined their legs made of butter or
their arms of cast iron sink into insignificance.
She stated her belief freely, and, as the evi
dence shows, said to different witnesses "that
she had communication with the Creator, that
she was the Holy Ghost, the third person in the
Trinity, and Mr. Simm Smith was the Father;
that she was above God seven degrees; that
she sent the cholera or influenza through all
creation, and that it had to go through her
first; that if the Almighty lost her everything
would go to chaos; that she was about to bring
forth the Saviour of the World; that she held
direct communication with the Father; that
the judgment of the world was to take place in
her drawing-room in Hyde Park; that Dr. Smith
knew everything she did; that she was the
first great cause and the pivot on which the
whole world hung; that at one stage of the
work the Doctor required large sunw to carry it
on; that it seemed foolish for her to make a
will, as she was immortal, but she must act in
nature; that she had a head-dress of hair and
a coronal of diamonds made expressly for the
judgment day; that Mrs. Curtis was a child of
God, and was obliged to fall on her knees and
worship her, for she knew she was the Holy
Ghost; that when the work was finished they
would have Buckingham Palaoe and Windsor
Castle; that she and the Doctor made the
thunder and the lightning, and were in their
glory in a good thunder-storm; that they were
the supreme beings and communicated to
gether, though they were absent from one
another, and that the judgment was to take
place in her drawing-room, and she was to
take part in it with the Lord Jesus Christ, in
connection with Dr. Smith."
These views, openly espoused, must, we
think, indicate that the old lady was a little
affected in the region of the cerebellum. But
having immense wealth, she lavished it in
furtherance of her views. ' She gave as much
as 5000 at one time to Dr. Smith for "the
work" (?), and spent a fortune in fitting up
her drawing-room for the sound of the last
trump. Her London drawing-room was fur
nished at an expense of about 15,000, for
no other occasion than the day of judgment
never brought into use on any one single occa
sion, never dismantled, never forgotten, always
prepared, and for years persistently spoken of
by the testatrix as dedicated to that event.
Mr. Clarke, who, as foreman to Messrs.
Gillow, had these decorations in hand,
is sent for by the testatrix, and,
without apparent reason or motive for
he needed no charitable help is told that
he is to receive 50 a year. This annuity he
reoeived for many years, during which he was
constantly sent for by Mrs. Thwaites, for no
other purpose than to listen to the religious
ideas whioh she poured forth for his edifloation
by the hour at a time. It is diffloult to forbear
the coaolusion that this annuity was, In the
mind of Mrs. Thwaites, the fitting reward for
the part he had borne in the saored work of
preparing for the great judgment." But we
will not follow the old lady through her other
eocentrioitieB how she "turned the sorew
and the cholera came, and how the Lord said,
Turn it again;' and it ceased," or any of the
other peculiarities. Suffloe it to say she made
her will, and finally, to her own amazement
and the joy of her expectant legatees, was
gathered to her fathers.
Sir J. P.Wilde, after carefully reviewing all
the evidence, concludes his judgment:
"The Court li not aatlsned In thU case, and
mum pronounoa against lul will It remain
to be pointed out that the conclusion, at wuloa
the Court ha thus arrived of Mr Thwaites'
general incapacity throw many oou'aiderallouA
lato the shade whloh would otherwise have
oonnplori prominent place In lie d "liberation.
If Mrs. Tliwlt had been Mtmnnnd capable
of making a will at all, grave question would
have arisen whether that eapanttjr would have
supported a will eo made and with uoh depo
sitions a the will here In question. The law
baa ever txwn watohful aud Jealous of will
made under religious influences, and especially
o when Ihoie influence oonneot tliemselvn
with any Individual who I the ohjeot of the
testator' bounty. Before thi will, therefore,
could have been established, the relation of
)r. Hmlth with the testatrix must have been
further orullolr.ed and explained, and tho
Court atlHfled thai in making him and his
brother residuary legatees to the amount, a it
Is computed, of 180,000, tbe testatrix wa aotlng
freely, under the pressure of no Imaginary
duly or paramount obligation, the infltienoe of
no delusion as to Ir, Hmlth' spiritual being
and toe guidance of no baseless religious
dream. The irsult ia that tbe Court pronounoes
against the will."
In this judgment we think all will conour.
The sympathy of the publio is always with
the heir, and when the course of nature is
diverted the evidence must show a good oause
for such a ohange, in order to meet the ap
proval of mankind. The case iu question set
tles the important point as to what constitutes
capaoity to make a will. The Baronet lays it
down with great deoision that
"A person who Is the subject of monomania,
however apparently aenslble or prudent on all
aubjeois ana occasions other than those whtoh
are the special subject of his apparent luflrmtty,
Is not in law capable of making a will. This
ha been clearly decided."
Railroad Consolidation hi New York. The
New York Constitutional Convention has
adopted, after considerable discussion, a olause
prohibiting the consolidation of railroad com
panies when the capital exoeeds $15,000,000.
An attempt was made to reoonsider, on the
ground that the trade of New York city would
be endangered by suoh a prohibition, but the
interior members stood firm, and the olause
was retained. There is no doubt in the minds
of all thoughtful men, that one of the chief
future dangers to our country will be found in
the overshadowing power and influenoe of
great corporations. We see premonitory symp
toms of this evil on every hand, and we are
glad that the New York Convention has oalled
attention to it in a positive and practical
method.
Rain in England. The fall of rain on the
other side of the Atlantic has been quite as ex
cessive as with us. A London letter thus de
scribes a rain storm that not long since visited
that seotion:
"In nine hours over the whole of London
there was a rain-fall ol 3,' Inches, one-quarter of
the average annual rain-frtll in this humid
climate, and amounting to 20,000,000 tons of
water. It fell with tbe rising tide, and as half
of llelgravla, Pimlico.auda large part of London
south of tbe Thames are below high water
mark, in some case the basements being
twelve feet below, the sewers could not carry oir
the immense body of water, so that a mixture
of raln-WHter and sewnge filled the cellars of
large districts, uutu the next ebb or the tide.
Tbe great bteam pumps did wbat they could.
Tbe high level intercepting sewers carried off
the water from the upper distrlots; but the flood
was a serious nuisance and great damage. As
such a rain-fall, however, only happens once la
twenty years, the present generation feels tole
rably secure."
Worklngmsu la England.
rrofessor Levi, in his book on "The Working
Classes," estimates that there are 800,000 persons
employed in Eugland in the general aud local
government and defense of the country. Of this
number all but 8000 are men. About 19,000 are
dockyard laborers, 11,000 postmen, 37,000 po
licemen. Nearly all the others are soldiers or
sailors. In tbe second class are 1,700,008 do
mestic servants, nearly ail or them women,
whose yearly wages amount to $295 000,000, an
average sum of $260 a head per week beinsr
included in that amount for remuneration in
the way of maintenance.
There are 700,000 persons eniajred in commer
cial ways, that is, in the conveyance of men,
animals. f?ood9, and messaaes. Of these, 200,000
are railway servants, 123,000 are coachmen,
cabmen, and carmen; 37,000 are barpemen and
watermen, 180,000 are teamen, 35,000 are dock
laborers, and 125,000 are warehousemen, mes
sengers, and porters. Their entire earnings in
a year are estimated at $195,000,000.
All these classes of workpeople taken together
are just as numerous as tbe agricultural labor
ers, of whom tbere are said to be about 2,0)0,000
men, and 700,000 women and children, earning
in all $420,000,000 a year. These and all the
others are not so numerous as the laborers in
manufacturing: and mining pursuits, numbering
about 3,000,000 men aud 2,600.000 women and
children, and receiving $1,130,000,000 a year in
wages. Tbe entire working classes, according
to Mr. Levi, comprise 11,000,000 persons, of
whom nearly halt are women and children, and
receive each year $2,090,000,000 in payment lor
their work. The average weekly receipts of
boys and men under twenty is 7s. 3d. sterling;
of girls and women under twenty, 7s. lOd. ster
ling; ot grown up men 19s. sterling, and of
grown upwomen lls.sterling. Skilled workpeople
of course receive a great deal more than that,
and common laborers proportionately less.
