Perhaps no country on the face of the
earth will compare with our own in the
way of crime. There is, we suppose, a
murder for every hour of each day of
tlie week. Nearly every daily paper
we pick up contains an account of a
murder. “A husband murders his
Wife;*' *‘n tvlftr iiiiliclera her huSUaml j**
“a son murders his'-father ;V “a teacher
whips a child to death;” “a whole
family murdered by negroes “a man
murdered for his money“two men
lynched these are the captions we read
in a half-dozen,daily papers now on our
table. It makes the heart sick when
we. are compelled to peruse the dread
ful details of these dreadful and unnat
ural murder?.
That the American people are chang
ing in character, and that they ate be
coming less honorablsand moro.wicked
than their forefathers, is a fact which
no one can successfully deny. They
have degenerated, fearfully degenera
ted, and at this time the man who
makes money by robbing the govern
ment, or by swindling the widow and
the orphan, is by a large portion of our
people considered “sharp,” a “smart
fellow,” Ac. Formerly such a man
would have been Ipokcp on asa scoundrel
and spoken of as such. Now his ill-got
ten wealth secures him respect; and of
ten foists him into public-position.
Many of our young men have not that
high sense of honor thatyvas a former
American trait. Fcw-.tms now-a-days
consider themselve’s poor enough to
learn a trade; there are'rid apprentices,
in theacception of the word, none; boys
whoso fathers have worked hard at a
trade or on the farm to make ah honest
living for the family, would-ljecl insult
ed to bo asked to follow in the footsteps
of that honest fattier. No, no—young
America, be his capacity over so limit
ed, must bo a professional .man, or if
not a professional man, a nothing ; work
lie will not. Hence it is that the pro
fessions—-once considered honorable—
are becoming a reproach. A man fol
lowing a trade no longer occupies the.
independent position ho formerly occu
pied, hut is looked down upon by do
nothing snobs and “sharp” rascals a s
one who has no position in what is
now called “society.”
But, we started out in this article to
speak of the dreadful murders that are
constantly taking place. Why is it that
crime is so fearlully on the increase?
Avarice, idleness, pride, rum—these
lead to theft, and too often theft leads
to murder. If our people could all bo
induced to go to work, and become pro
ducers instead of consumers—if our far
mers and mechanics could once more bo
looked upon as tbo best and safest men
in a community—crime would decrease
lifly per cent, in a year.- it is the in
fernal laziness of too many of our young
men—the desire to live without work
ing—the yielding of honor—that indu
ces crime. Look at thu-mcn in our jails
all over ourcountry, charged with mur
der, burglary aiid other dreadful crimes.
They are not all ignorant men, but

Let wise men, then, think of these
'things, nnd by a united effort save the
rising generation. Xet industry and
honor receivo, as in former days, respect
and confidence, nnd let 119 man he hon
ored or trusted who fails to come up to
the standard of an honorable man. This
subject should command the attention
of our leading men, for to them the
people must look for relief.

In a letter, published recently in the

States, to learn by actual observation the
great resources of .that very important
section of our common country. The
heat and animosity growing out of the
institution of slavery fora long time pre
cluded one of my. political convictions
from doing so with satisfaction; hut now
I feel that in the changed condition of
affairs no reason exists whv I could not
do so.
Surely good taste might have suppres
sed this piece of political slang in an
answer to a courteous invitation. Mr.
Sherman’s distinguished brother was.
settled for years at the South. There
was no time prior to the war, at which
any citizen, wishing to observe the re
sources of the Southern States, could
not do so. If bo tried to raise a negro
insurrection, no doubt ho would have
been interfered with, as he would in
any community the peace of which was:
put in jeopardy.. But every adult man
remembers a lime when ho could have
travelled from one end of the South to
the other with as much comfort and,
safety as in any country in the world,
on the solo condition that he did not
violate the common rules of prudence
and decehcy.— Age.

Is it unkind to any that this, if true, is
a terrible retribution ? Historians have
some times endeavored to extenuate the
deeds of tyrants, by saying that they were
well intended for the general good. Some
of the atrocities which Stanton Perpetra
ted during the war have been excused on
that ground, and not a few, during ' the
heat of party discussion, dcfended by'hls
peculiar friends. How utterly be seems
c o h ave passed out of. public notice, and
certainly public regard. We doubt that

not so much that he shut men up in dun

where no symptoms of war or rebellion

Important Religions Movement,
On Thursday, Nov. Uth, 1869, the
two branches of the Presbyterian Church
in the United States, known as the “Old
School” and the “New School,’? were
united, by the action of the General’ As
semblies, wnicii convened at Pittsburg
on wednesci-ffi nov. iv. in the y.c
Schooi tbe vote for re-union was unani
mous ; in the Old School only three
Presbyteries voted negatively. The re
union was celebrated on Friday, Nov.
12th, by a joint procession to the Third
Presbyterian Church of Pittsburg, where
re-union services were held, the ad
ministration of the Lord’s Supper and
a grand missionary meeting in the eve
ning.
This re-union makes the Fresh-dorian
Church a very powerful religious orga
nization. The Old School had 27 Snyods,
143 Presbyteries, 2,381 Ministers and
258,903 members. The New School had
24 Snyods, 113 Presbyteries, 1848 Minis
ters, and 172,660 members. The two
brances united have 31 Synods, 256
Presbyteries, 4229 Ministers, and 431,-
463 members;
The church division took place in
1838, and the two branches have gener
ally regarded each other with extreme
hostility until within a few years past,
though the difference of opinion was
very slight, and was not fully under
stood by the majority of the members.

The appearance of tide work la most

period of moral, political and social up

status of woman promises before long
to bo one of this most prominent and
exciting issues In American politics.—
Woman’s rights longues and female
suffrage conventions are the oftier of the
day. Nor is defense of woman’s rights
longer left to weakwomen alone. Su

the battle for balmorai suffrage singld

moral vlnyard, and quixotic editors
with long hair and goggles have come

in voice as brave and chivalric as was:
that of the only original Marmion, urge
on the contest. Now the very sensible
design of the author of the work on our
table Is to hold the mirror up to nature,
not in an unkindlybutadissunsiveSpir-
it, that all sensible, thoughtful women,
seeing what unseemly creatures they
would become by plunging into a poli
tical career, may be led to avoid the
danger and give their powerful influ
ence against it. The book is well writ
ten and profusely illustrated. It Con
sists of a sketch of woman’s social posi
tion in all ages and countries, her pre
sent legal status—her physiological, so
cial, moral and intellectual relations to
man—and her true sphere—together
with an argument on the folly, inexpe
diency and danger of woman suffrage.
The hook is well worth a perusal.

pletes nis account of book-making by a
description of binding, illustrated by
eight sketches, and also tells a Christ

were caught on a Mississippi floe of ice.
The “ Yo Semite Pall” has a picture,
and Mother Goose has four pretty vig

In n special, dispatch from Harrisburg

ber. 12, 1809, the reporter makes the fol
lowing statement:
“The Governor referred these various
petltlons trf'A Horney-General F. Carroll
Brewster, who, after due examination,
rendered his opinion in writing to the
effect that there was nothing In the pa
pers presented to justify the Governor in
.rendering, nugatory the sentence of the
Cumberland county Court, the President
Judge of which had elso written the Ex
ecutive that there .was nothing Id the
case to warrant any mitigation of the
sentence."
Tills is a mls-statemeht of .the fact, to
correct which wo annex the correspond
ence between the Governor’s Private
Secretary and Judge'Qrabam, from which
Itiwlli appear that the President Judge
2id not write "that there Was nothing in
