tliminuliim nf that of teller, Let, us snpp'ise, for
lllUKtrtil Ion, that all thonn who have expanded $100
ricr annum (In time unit money together) for liquors
and toliiii'co, throughout tlie last twenty years, had
ft.rbonie the Indulgence nd saved tlio money, would
there not be nt tltta moment many more persons able
and willing to buy labor, with many fewer anxious
to sell it, than there are ? And should not we nil
Tii ii and poor alike bo in botver circumstances on
that account?"
This nonsenso is noticeable only as coming
from the author - of a treatise on political
economy. He asserts, in substance, that the
dfeiiiKiul for labor wonld be increased by tho
debt ruction of particular employments. It
there were no . consumers of tobacco, there
would bo no producers; and, of course, no
demand for the labor which is employed in
that branch of production. The cultivation
of tobacco not only gives employment to the
tobneco-growers, but it furnishes an ad
ditional market for, and therefore stimulates
the production of, other commodities which
tho tobacco-growera consume. If, instead of
raiHing tobacco, they were all employed in
cultivating corn, there would bo more corn
than could be consumed, and its price would
fall so low that corn-growers would not
have the means of paying out more money
in wages than they do at present. Men who
nso tobacco must earn money to pay for
it; and they get more wages in consequence
of the larger market for the products of their
labor which is created by this branch of
industry.
The same reasoning applies to liquors. If
none were drunk, none would be manufac
tured, and the vast market f0r grain which is
created by distillation would be annihilated..
If grain were not used for this purpose, less
grain would be produced; and it requires a
very peculiar penetration to perceive that
diminished production wonld increase the
demand for labor. Let all the tobacco-fields
nd hop-yards be abandoned next year, let all
the distilleries stop, let tho acreage of grain
be so narrowed as to proportion the supply to
the diminished demand, and what would be
the consequence? Why, such multitudes of
laborers would be thrown out of employment,
that the labor market would be overstocked
and glutted; wages would fall; agriculture
would stagnate; and if the following year
should bo a year of short crops, thousands of
people would perish of starvation. The use
of spirituous liquors may be, in some
respects, an evil; but the evil is offset by
great advantages. It not only stimulates
labor to earn tho money which is spent in
their indulgence, it not only enlarges and
steadies the market for other productions,
but it is a perfect insurance against famine,
Jjy causing, every year, the growth of large
quantities of grain not needed for breadstuff's.
In a year of dearth tho prices of grain rise so
high that little is distilled. In such a year,
laborers have not money enough to buy both
spirits and bread; and the supply of bread is
always adequate by the releaue of grain which
would otherwise be used for distillation.
There would probably be as many shiftless,
hand-to-mouth people, and certainly as many
idle people, in Mr. Greoley's anti-tobacco,
anti-liquor millennium, as there are at pre
sent. But why stop with liquor and tobacoo ?
Bilks, satins, and laces, gewgaws and finery,
are a great gulf of expenditure which swallows
np a large part of the earnings of the com
munity: why not preach them down too, and
restrict human wants to simple food and plain
clothing? Such a limitation of expense, if
universally adopted, would not enable people
to save, because it wonld ronder it difnoult
for them to earn. . Savings must be made out
of earnings, and little would be earned if we
were thus to destroy the motives and employ
ment for industry" by extinguishing men's
artificial wants. Mr. Greeley s advice would
carry society back to the idleness of the
feudal ages. This is, indeed, regular enough
in point of consistency, for his whole system
of political economy has a retrograde ten
dency. THE SUFEEME COURT OF THE UNITED
, . . , STATES.
From the Pall Mali Gazette, r
Before the Constitution of the United
Stales fell into what, to speak plainly, must
be called its present discredit, there was no
institution created by it which interested the
foreign observer more Btrongly than the Su
preme Court of the Federation. Although
its decisions could only be called fortti by
private disputes, ju. de locquevmo justly
speaks of a court which had the power of de
claring whether a law consented to by all ex
isting authorities was valid as "standing at
the head of all known tribunals." Tho lan
guage of the continental writers who de
scribed it before 1800 was invariably eulo
gistic, and many of them noticed, as honora
bly characteristic of tho English race, the fact
that the branch of it which organized the
jreatost democracy of tho world had placed
unaer me protection, not 01 a string ot pre
jended eternul truths, nor under that of the
people at large, nor finder that of the legislative
ody, but under tho guardianship of a bench
f irremovable judges. The writer of a very
pteresting paper in the Nation of New York
jails attention to a crisis which is just oc
curring in tlie History ot this august tribunal.
and incidentally describes the full and rise
of its credit among the people of the Unitod
btates. "Ihirty years ago," we are. told.
"the Supreme Court, and, indeed, the judi
ciary gonerally, stood as high in the estima
tion of tho publio as it is given to mortal
authority ever to stand. No doubt of its purity
lurked in men's minds; no politioal bias was
believed to lnmienoo its deoisions; it was
looked upon by the common consent of all
Parties as the great landmark, the one great
i i. -r ..a Li A - . i
jjluwuik ui buuiuvj wmcn was sure io wiia
stand all storms and to geoure the nation
whose laws it administered in tho blessings
of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happi
ness." The first sensible decline of its repu
tation is alleged to have occurred when
it pronounced the famous Dred
JScott judgment. But this loss
of popularity most only be understood of the
section ot tne population which became ulti
mately dominant, since . it is probable that
he South rejoiced as muob. as the North
nourned over th decision of the Supreme
Oourt that Congress was incompetent, by an
mactment sanctioning a compromise, to fix
or ever the territorial limits of hlavarv.
"Though most inopportune and most unfortu
nate in the long run for those who elicited it,
Ibis decision, though strict law, wns probably J
pood law. And indeed tha Nation admits '
llif.t Urn real nnjivrrl of thti peoplo of the
North with the court was that it would not
expressly acknowledge thnt fluvery was intrin
sically wicked a proposition which, whether
true or not, it could assuredly novor have laid
down 'without a gross doieliotion of duty.
When, however, the tcnipornry disrnption of
the I'nion left tho Supreme Court in exclusive
connection with its Northern section, it ba
crnto inevitable that mispicion should turn for
the time into hatred and dread. For, if the
court Lud decided as it very possibly must have
decided if its jurisdiction had boen appealed
to, it would have deprived tho North of all
power of aggression or resistance, assuming
ill decisions to have commanded obedienco.
The least astnto reador of the Constitution of
the United States can see that, to say tho
least, a plausible ense can be made out for
holding that laws declaring paper money a
legal tender, and permitting a conscription
for the army, are inconsistent with careful
provisions for the sanctity of contracts and
the liberty of the person. Tho subjugation
of the South doubtless re-established respect
for the court among the nation as a whole;
but the Republican party soon learned to re
gard it with the extremesf jealousy as soon as
the Reconstruction laws were determined
upon. It is not likely that there is any mem
ber of the party who does not feel they are
very near the wind indeed, and it was noto
riously the hope that the Supreme Court
would declare them unconstitutional which
animated President Johnson during his
struggle with Congress.
It is all but certain that, if the judges had
laid down during the war the law which most
lawyers expected from them, the people of
the North would have set aside their autho
rity; and in that case the wreck of the institu
tions of the United States would have been
all but com plete. But the court, we are told,
gave no really important decision (if we ex
cept those on belligerency) during the whole
of the war. In spite of this prudonce, it
seems to have been regarded by the majority
of Northerners as a dangerous partisan body,
and every attempt was made to change its
character by filling all tho seats on the bench
wnicn became vacant with persons qualihed
for them only by stubborn devotion to the
cause of the North. More open attacks were
made on the court when all power fell after
the war into the hands of the Legislature. An
act of Congress taking away an appeal in a
case already pending threatened the
most extreme measures; but an extraordi
nary bill rendering a majority of two-thirds of
the judges necessury before a law passed by
Congrens could be declared unconstitutional,
but allowing a bare maioiity to declare it
constitutional, was permitted to drop, though
doubtless the Republicans could have carried
it. This, however, seems to havo been the
last attempt on the independence of the
court, and we are assured that its credit and
popularity have been rising ever Rince. It is
not without natural and justifiable pride that
the writer in the Nation points to this ten
dency in tho ship of the State to right itself.
It is distinctly, he tells us, because President
Johnson so disgraced himself that the dignity
and self-restraint of the Supreme Court met
at last witn tne appreciation which they do-
served. We may be pardoned for addiner omr
suspicion that the violence of Congress had
much to do with the change; but we are
equally ot opinion tnat it is creditable to the
American peoplo that they should turn with re
lief to the deliberations of judges from the spec
tacle oi tactions contention in the Legislature
and furious intemperance in the Executive.
It is fortunate for the Supreme Court that
popular feeling has set in favor of the prin
ciples on which it was constructed, since
never had President such an opportunity as
President Grant for destroviner its purity and
independence.
THE BONAPARTE MURDER.
From the If. T. Tribune.
The lists are being drawn in Franoe. Prince
Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, cousin of the
Emperor Napoleon, has murdered M. Victo
Noir, friend of that champion hater of the
empire, si. Henri Kocheiort. The latter had
been challenged by the Prince, who would
have warmly embraced any fair opportunity to
shoot him; but as it was, M. Grousset insisted
upon his right to a duel of which his article
in M. Rochef ort's paper, the Marseillaise, was
the cause. Accordingly, two friends of the
trenchant writer waited upon the Prince, who,
in the, course of an altercation, but not until
(as he himself says) he had been slapped in
the face by M. Noir, drew a pistol and shot
that gentleman dead. The deed was one of
dreadful rashness; in short, a murder. The
Prince received doubtless such keen provoca
tion as to have made a veteran of his ardent
temper anxious to kill or be killed in an en
counter with that prince of bitterness, M.
Henri Rochefort. M. Rochefort has at one
time claimed rank and title, and would have
been no unworthy match for a bad-tempered
prince, willing to do his family a service.
But the wrong man has been shot, and the
murder gives a new argument to those who
are eager to exoito the greater duel, not be
tween a count and a prince, but between the
people and the empire.
Such is the meuniug of the domands which
M. Rochefort has made, with increased tem
per, in the Legislative Body. Another well
known Deputy, M. Gnyot-Montpayroux, has
moved that princes of the royal blood shall be
made amenable to the law, by which we are
to understand that, unloss tho Legislature
takes some special action on the case of
Prince Pierre, nothing can be done to him.
It is plain, from the report sent us by cable,
that the proceedings of the Corps over the
subject of the murder have been unusually
demonstrative and menacing. M. Ollivier,
speaking for the Government, is represented
to have said: "We Rre justice, moderation,
law; li yon lorce us, we will be power. These
are brave words, spoken on the strength of a
great many Bayonets ana or an absolutism
still strongly fortified in Franco. The threat
of the Minister in reply to that of the Depu
ties illustrates the temper of the proposed
auei uetween tne .umpire ana tlio
people, and it must be again ac
knowledged that the former counts
upon vast odds. Even the shooting of a man
of tlio people by a prince of the blood is not
enough to drive Pari or Lyons into frenzy;
for it will' be remembered, perhaps, that
Trinoe Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte has been,
with all his faults, one of tho most democratic
of those who have borne his name. The em.
pire, however, stands ready to champion the
cause of its own blood, for we observe that it
has retorted upon tlie demands of thenoensed
radicals by moving for the arraignment of M.
Rochefort for an outrage against the Empe
ror, and for exciting violence. This aotion
will serve to define more sharply the expected
battle in the Legislative Corps. M. Rochefort
charges a prince of the House of Bonaparte
with murder; the Emperor charges M. Rooha
f wt with outrage; and on this issue France is
called to decide. Here, are materials for
many scones in tho French Legislature, with
perhaps a chance for the exhibition of bayonets.
SOAP AND WATER LEGISLATION.
Ft r.m thf. y. V. Hcral t.
A DrmnorMio in'M:iber of (Vmgresi f;--n
California, named Johnson, lmt itii rodnced in
the Hoiibo a bill providing that Vany, StuU
suffering- from filthy buliit.i, or degv.dinq
vices or customs practised iiy Chinese rosi
dents"' against whom tho bill is oopeciftlly
directed "'may, if snoh habits, vicust or cus
toms become a nuisance, protect itsnlf by
State legislation, notwithstanding tho exist
ence of any treaty between tho United States
pud the Chinese Government'
Now, there ran be Tto question that every
State should bo permitted -to protect iUelf
against nuisances that may prove detrimental
to good health, dangerous to tho peaco or
order, or damaging to tho sound morality of
any community. But suppose the mnniber
from California, whose instincts as a Demo
crat well qualify him to judge on the sub
ject, should lake a broader view of the ques.
tion, end not confine his observations and
olfactories to the poor Chinese alone. There
are more extensive and more putrid fields for
tho operations of a law against the accumula
tion of filthy and bad habits and other nui
panres than exist in California. Therefore
let Mr. Johnson give the law universal appli
cation, and see what he shall see.
For example, there is the noble Capitol of
the nation in tho great city of Washington.
Why should it be obliged to endure the in
tolerable effluvia of the heaps of official cor
ruption that are allowed to accumulate in its
lobbies, in its committee rooms, in its political
caucuses, in its diplomatic cabals, ay, even
upon the very floors of Congress itself?
Where were Mr. Johnson's moral olfactories
when he presented this bill to exterminate
the Chinese to exterminate them as if they
were so many rats while he knew so many
viler and more vicious rats were gnawing at
the public crib? Then, there is the shocking
social atmosphere of Washington. Why did
he not bethink himself of some disinfecting
agent some patent purifier to smoke out
the bad habits that prevail to such a devour
ing extent in the well-styled "City of Mag
nificent Dead Beats?" We pause for an echo.
Moreover, besides the sittings of Congress
there are some fifteen State Legislatures now
in full operation. Hero is a domain upon
which the California member could exercise
his nuisance exterminating ingenuity with
marvellous effect. No doubt putrescent legis
lation was going on by wholesale in many of
these Legislatures at the very moment he was
fulminating his rattail wrath against the in
offensive pigtails in California.
Then there are numberless nuisance? that
are permitted to exist in our own splendidly
commissioned city of New York. If the mem
ber from California don't believe it let him
ask Bergh, or Oukoy Hall, or Horace Greeley.
Bergh will givo him data on the swill miik
business, our excellent and piquant Muyor on
the Albany radicul commLoious nuisance, and
Horace Greeley on the nuisance of soap and
water in general. Then ho can consul th our
worthy Street Commissioner upon the posi
tive nuisance of keeping tho fctreets clean,
which Hercules would liud a "more laborious
task thnn cleaning the Augean stables. Then
there is the filthy tobacco chewing nuisance
in the ladies' cabins on our ferryboats, tV.e
cigar smoking nuisance in our street cars, the
treading upon ladies' trails in public places
nuisance, the peddling on Broadway nuisance,
tho sidewalk blockade nuisance, the degrading
shau'i-rtligious nuisance, the bogus giant
nuisance, the pneumatic boring nuisance, and
bo on and so on, like tne endless chain of the
Greenwich street eievated railway nuisance.
Nuisance, nuisance everywhere !
Bneliy, let the gentleman from California,
for the good of mankind, make his nuisance
bill apply universally, and not confine its ope
rations to the miserable pigtails wallowing in
the filth of the golden and glorious State he
represents.
OUR NEW POSSESSIONS THE CHANCES
OF ACQUISITION.
From the K. Y. Timee.
The foothold in the West Indies which has
long been an object of quest by the United
btates is now in a lair way of attainment.
The Babcock-Gautier treaty for the cession
of San Domingo is before the Senate, with
the chances in favor of its ratification. Will
that popular vote, which is nominated in the
treaty as needful to its becoming of full and
binding effect, result in a majority for an
nexation?; This is one of the interesting queries of
tho hour. Weighing all the chances, it seems
to ns that the islanders will affirm the treaty.
We are mindful that ever sinoe the spring of
1807 . the little republio has been rent in
twain by civil strife' over this very issue.
We recall that Cabral, once President, and
now a powenui reoei, lias rested his cause
mainly on this ground. We are aware that
this chieftain still hovers on tha western
frontiers, at the head of some four or five
hundred Cacos, bent on deposing Baez; that
u cn oral luperon, now at Turk s Island, de
clares that Saget and his men are still in full
sympathy with Cabral, and that, so soon as
Solnave is effectually done for, he- will have
the entire Haytien force at his disposal, in
rinding the fleet that lately defeated Salnave
at Port-au-Prince. We do not lose sight of
any of these facts, nor of the likelihood that
tho business now in hand will prove the sig.
nal for a storm of revolt from the Haytien
insurgents.
But, on the other hand, let us put in array
the favoring facts, and see what sort of show
they make, in the hist place the adminis
tration is thought to be a unit in favor of an
nexation, being moved thereto by strong per
suasivespartly an empty purse, and partly
their precarious tenure of office. Baez, like
Barkis, is "willin'," and, indeed, very
anxious. So, certainly, is Gautier, who has
acted as commissioner, and shown prompt
ness and a conciliatory spirit, together with
Del ilonte, with nung&rla, nnd with Cunel.
who, as Secretary of the Treasury, is deely
versed in the mystery of negative quantities
Baez had found it needful for political effest
to let the impression prevail, last spring, that
he was opposed to annexation; but he really
is its strongest advocate. Rather than not
come into the Union at all. the Dominican
administration consented to have the island
introduced as a Torritory. We think, there
fore, that we may count on the Executive
patronage being wholly thrown im favor of
tne treaty.
Next we come to the leading publio men,
We know already tho feelinc of Messrs. Fa
bens and Gabb. The Church diguitarios are
not to be considered; and our Washington
correspondent tells us that their leader, Don
Domingo la Roche, one of the most iniluen
tial citizens in the republio (and the reputed
owner of one-seventh of it), expressed to
General Jiabcock the strongest desire for an
nexation, and his willingness to use bis great
influence in the prevailing Church to that
end. Then we approach the Senate, com
posed of the representatives from the seven
provinces this body ratified the treaty at
once, ii many, as to the cities, tne new
treaty is with them the all-absorbing topic,
ar.d in San Domingo City, Samana, Porto
Platte, Santiago, and all the considerable
towns, tha foolinu of tl

bis Ahnisters active in spreading information,

polled, there is no doubt that the returns
made by him to us will show a handsome ma

a power to be foared. His day has none by

standard, but when once the troafy is coa

said of the "war vessels'' of the Hayt'iens

TESTS OF INSANITY
CAST'S.
IN CRIMINAL
From the if. T. Sun.'
Since insanity was first regarded as fur
nishing an excuse for crime, at least in soma
cases, the opinions of lawyers on the subject
have undergone a great change. The ques
tion has recently been discussed at consider
able length by professional writers, but we
are still without any exact statement of the
progress which the so-called law of insanity
has made up to the present day.
The latest adjudications of the courts in
England have gone so far as to docido that
the proper test of sanity in the commission
of a crime is the ability to distinguish be
tween right and wrong the knowledge on
the part of the accused that the act he was
about to commit was wrong or punishable by
law. From this knowledge of the difference
between right and wrong, and the ability to
apply it to the particular crime in question,
tho English law infers the existence of the
power, in the person who committed the act,
to obey the right, and to refrain from the
wrong. There, this inference is purely one
of law, though of course it is presumably
founded upon facts which have been eluci
dated by science. The court, in all such
cases, instructs the jury that if they find from
the evidence that the prisoner, when he did
tho act for which he is on trial before them,
possessed a knowledge of right and wrong
in regard to the act in question, they must
render a verdict of guilty.
Generally, the American docis'ons on this
subject have advanced no further than those
in England. In particular cases, howover,
greater progress has been made. In Penn
sylvania, recently, it has been sub itantially
decided that, in addition io the element of
knowledge, which is the test of the English
law, the defendant must be shown to have
had "the power to adhere to the right and to
avoid the wrong-' before he can be declared
guilty. There have been decisions similar to
this in New York and New Hampshire. The
rule which those decisions seek to establish
is, that the power of action consequent upon
a perception of the distinction between right
and w rong must bo provod of itself; it is not
properly susceptible of being inferred from
the perception. The-English rule is, that the
existence of this perception or knowledge
supports the inference that the prisoner had
the power of acting in accordance with its
dictates.
Up to tkis point tho subject of the test3 of
insanity in crime has been adjudicated. The
most important question which it presents is
that based upon the difference between the
English rule and the American decisions re
ferred to. Ought power of action on the part
from his knowledge of the difference between
right and wrong in regard to the alleged
crime? or ought the existence of snch power

THE rATr.RNITY OF IT.
Frmu the Cincinnati Time.
The Catholio journals protest that tho ques
uon oi in jtioie n tne schools is not a
Catholio question. They go so far as to say
that if the Catholio Bible, with the Catholio
notes and comuiej.U, were to be substituted
for the King J aires version, it would in no
whit lesson f'-eir objection to the publio
school system They demand the exclusive
education oi their own youth, by their own
teachers, ano in their own way. On this
subject the r rectnan Journala&yB:
"We tell our respected contemporary.therefore.that
If the Catholic translation of the Book of Holy Writ,
which is to be found In the homes of all our better
educated Catholics, were to be dissected by the
ablest Catholic theologian in the land, and merely
lvHKons to be taken from it Buch as Catholio
mothers read to their children, and with all the
notes and comments in the popular edition, and
others added, with th highest Catholio endorse
mentand if these admirable Bible lessons, and
these alone, were to be ruled as to be read in all the
public chools, this would not diminish, In any sub
stantial degree, the objection we Catholics have to
letting Catholic children attend the publio schools.
'This declaration is very sweeping, but we will
prove Its correctness.
"First We will not subject our Catholic children
to your teachers. You ought to know why, In a mul
titude of cases.
"Second We will not expose our Catholio chil
dren to association with all the children who have a
Unlit to attend the public schools 1 iio you not know
why 7"
This is Pharisaical self-righteousness gone
mad. It is legitimate bigotry. It has an
illustrious parentage. It descends from the
hermit's cell of the second and third centu
ries, and from the Fathers of the Church at
a lator period, the period when monachism
with its monks superseded asceticism with its
most devout hormils. Generally the hermit's
coll Mas tho scene of perpetual mournings,
tears, and sobs, and frantic strugglings with
imaginary demons, and paroxysms of reli
gious despair were the texture of his life, and
the dread of spiritual enemies and of that
death which his superstition had rendered so
terrible (we quote Leckey), embittered every
hour of bis existence.
Tho duty of a monk, says St. Jeromo, "is
not to teach, but to weep." We fear there
would be more weeping than teaching in
Catholio schools. St. Anthony, the true
founder of monachism, "refused, when a boy,
to learn letters, because it would bring him
into too great intercourse with other boys."
This is the paternity of the feeling expressed
by the Freemaii't Journal.
And yet these pious men did not hesitate
to tell very large stories. At a tinio when St.
Jerome had suffered himself to feel a deep
admiration for the genius of Cicero, he was,
as he himself tell ns, "b or no in the night
before j the tribunal of Christ, aocusod of
being rather a Ciceronian than a Christian,
and severely flagellated by the angels." Had
the Saint given this as a dream it would not
have been so outrageous a lie a lie believed
to this day for truth, and probably believed
by the editor of the Freeman's Journal,
In short, we cannot destroy our American
institution to piase either at. Anthony, St.
Jerome; or tho Pope. ; . . .
