SearCely a paper is perused but what pre sents us with an account of some horri ble murder. These 'murders principally occur in large cities, yet no section is en "tirely free from such horrors. Money mid insanity, this season, have--been the attributed causes of the majority of these fetil deeds. The public generally accept such as the incentives without a dispine, anti our juries,,upon oath, reach just such conclusions. It is true money. has been characterized as the root of all evil, yet notwithstanding its tendency. to wrong, it is the desideratum of the times. Insanity is sometimes hereditary, but for the most part it is the product of au impure charac ter, fertilized by systems of out-door or public education.. unworthy tolerance. These two evils, for evils they are, cause the immolation of life and the good of so ciety. Our courts certify to this fact every Jay, yet it seems only necessary to possess money and your innocence of any charge. is estahlishc ; or on the other baud' tii'diStort yourcountenance, roltyour tongue and feed a court with signs and omens of a silly character, and at once you are adjudged insane and acquitted of any charge, no Matter how conclusiVe the evi dence appears to the contrary. Murder is certainly contrary to:the in stincts of humanity, and a direct disre gard of all divine' find civil law, and we contend that the lenience of our courts gives license to murderers, and sustains that impurity of heart which dictates the horrors of an unnatural and violent death. As broad as this charge may appear, it is Clear truth as proven from statistics and observation, and that while a remedy is certainly at hand if the integrity and pu rity or our pretended sane judges only dictated its use. Amid all the horrible details of iniquity that reach uc, we shud der anew at the apparent stimulus they receive at the hands of our judicial prae- am What slut!l be d no to arrest these murderers? if the love of money has such a dire effect upon certain minds; cannot such minds be detected and their condition determined prior to tile • com mission of murder? If it is known that insanity will lead to murder and outrage, cannot the insane be pointed out and cared fur prior to their perpetrating such disheartening scenes as our Country is filled with ? We think so, and instead of our courts being inflicted with sane cases, and influenced by money to tolerate and en courage murder and arson, let addition al steps- be taken to l rotect the insane and detect the evil disposed., " stich in time saves nine." Fashionable Smuggling. We notice in the report of the Com missioner of Customs reference to a question that has always enlisted our attention. It is wherein f:tshionable smuggling is toler ated by our laws by allowing passengers arriving at our ports to bring wearing apparel '° appropriate to their social posi tion" Without paying the duty thereon. It is in this way that the lenient construction of our laws answers the purpose of fash ionable smugglers, and tourists are al lowed to go abroad with empty trunks and to return with them well : filled with just such wearing apparel,clear from duty, as the poor man, unable to make such a tour, has to pay the duty upon.. We con sider such a practice indirect fraud, and an unwarranted liberty in the construc tion .of our laws. We agree with the Commissioner in advocating, the repeal of such a law, and hope that a substitute may be adopted that, will allow of 'no such construction as is phiced upon the present law. Such a course will be a saving of revenue. to the 'country; and a means of justice to the poor. linited'States Senator.' When our_Legislature 'meet's the most, I important question tin their action•will be the election of a succesSor' to Mr.-Bucka letiorliose.ieriiilef office we are glad : to soy wi]l expire ou the fourth of March next. We hope-that the members of both Houses will haVe but one object in view, and that is honestly to make Sure the election of him who has the ability, the integrity and the - energy to represent the interests of our State and Country, and we hope:especi ally that :We shall not be . as We have been; pained to hear that the choice of a Sena-. tor has been made through the power of money. It has been stated, and we be- Here witli truth, that one :candidate has offered and agreed do I,7ire-82,500 for a vote. This of itself should:condemn any Roan aspiring to any offute,biit it is not tribe denied that money is used and with effect by unscrupulous - candidates, with and among unscrupulous Members, who go to Harrisburg to ,uttako money by selling themselves. -But woe to that man who shall be guilty this winter. Forney's Last Shot The Philadelphia Press invents a new name for Andre, Johnson. It calli him the "corporeal w'stidittgof Booth's pistol." Pretty-good, .but rather law in the day.

It was a Copperhead practice during the war to.shout aloud the " liberty of the press." :eat., Which translated, simply mean t4n advocacy of the allowance of the Southern presS to abuse ,the government - 4 at.;d to defamells .Any attempt on the li'att-of: the government to avert such• abuses of the liberty - of the press and-speech-was the-signal • for maenunted ,consternation, and every disloyal hand was raised in holy honor. We remember more than one instance of this kind, and when recurring to such scenes we are again astonished at the lenience of our au thorities in those trying hours. editor We bare been led to these reflections from reading the The American Union, published at flacon, Georgia, whose ed• itor, Clark Swayze, is new in jail, en joying- the "liberty of the press and speech." The Cann is a spirited paper, and a valuable exchange, and because its editor is a Republican, who has the bravery to condemn public outlaws, and the good sense to expose the (Things of the Ku Kluxers, he is thus incarcerated in a vile dungeon, and not only denied the liberty of speech, but also the liberty of his per son. This is the estimate put upon lib etty in Georgia, and is another evidence of the injustice of Southern courts. .I\re deeply inpathize with our brother of the " quill," and as great as his persecu tors may he, we scud him a word of cheer and approbation, and hope he may yet dismay that vile spirit of disorder and disunion, and come out more than con queror. Justice must be done, and a persistence in the right will ultimately purchase for the oppressed Unionists of Georgia a liberty and prosperity .beyond the control of the bloody-banded "Ku Kluxers," and establish upon a lasting footing the supremacy of the public press to the prison walls of the abode of des perate miscreants. A 131t.r. is in preparation in the house of Representatives which if passed into a law will curtail the:discounting abilities of our Banks, Localise it will prohibit them front receiving money on deposit paying interest therefor. This is a meas ure that will no doubt be very accepta ble to the private bankers and brokers who arc probably urging the . matter. The reason given is, that the money thus re ceived on deposit is withdrawen from cir culation. This is nut correct. The Banks do not receive money on deposit and pay therefor fbr the pleasure of locking it up, but expiesi-ly for the purpose of loaning it out again at the legal rate of six per cent.., and no wore. Tile effect of such a law will be to (hive depositors to the pri vate banks and brokers who will lend it out again at the highest rate of interest they can get viz : twelve, fifteen and eighteen per cent., because they are at liberty to charge what they please. Now who will be benefited if this bill should become a law? Certainly not the Banks that will lose the deposits. Certainly not the bor rowers who must pay a higher rate of interest for money. Nobody but the bro ker, whose taxes to the government do not equal those of the Banks. Con gress pass it? Ilre; doubt it. George kramoiti Train. Upon the day of our National Thanks giving, George Francis Train was confined in an English bastile, and having an au dience of Irish patriots alike persecuted around him, he delivered one of his speeches, which the reader could not but pronounce characteristic of the man. That speech, filled With threats, and bear ing the marks of an indomitable will, and unalloyed presistedee in the ideas and aims he so early espoused, found way to public print, and crc this has been read by thousands: Ile argued that although he was in person a prisoner, yet his tongue was free, and for this he rendered thanks. He was joined in his prison exercises by fellow prisoners, and in all, the demonstra tion, even beneath the Queen's eye, was noble and brave, and certainly exhibited an earnestness and candor worthy of our qualified admiration. Since then George, Fruneis Train has been liberated from prison, when he im mediately sued certain English dignitaries, (his persecutors,) and took passage for New York, where he will arrive in a few days..• We are not an admirer of the bom bast, conceit,. and private villtdny -of Train, bUt,to Lis courage and ,perseverance we attribute the greatest praise, and with the Irish press of Atuerica,believe that be - will take a prominent part is the cause of Irish liberty and secure.that consideration and tcward which Le desprres. The Coal negions. • The Harry' Journal, of last:Saturday, says tliat.ll!e Miners are on the strike at all the collieries in the Region, except probably a half dozen. I fhe operators, in consequence of the tall in price of coal, requested a reduction_ef _l5 per cent. below the last advaucemade on wages in November. The men arc willing to sub mit to a reduction of 10 per Pent. on the October rate of wages, which the opera tors resist, hence the stoppage. Coal has fallen moss than the advance obtained in November, and therefore'we think the men are r asking a little too much under the circumstances. The Railroad Com pany ought also' to reduce their rates to the October standard, fur if prices of coal are kept, up too high, it will check con sumption tuld diminish production. .But so lung as the Railroad Company keeps up its high rates to the November standard, the men would seem to be justified iu doing so also. The reduction ought to be made All around. No LESS than six differept timasnres involving woman suffrage are noiv pend ing, before Congress, which fact indicates pretty clearly that the progress of the cause is onward, and that the day must inevitably come when women will be-in vested with:the coveted privilege of hav ing a voice in the choice of public offi cers. ..
