Murder.
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.

Liberty of the Press in Georgia.
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

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

pretty clearly that the progress of the

ing a voice in the choice of public offi
cers.

pure love for the dear people, who would
rind it hard to be turned front the beaten
lIIIM
path to the Storehouse of your unworthy
Scr~aut; and have opened the campaign,
cleared the decks roe action, double shot-
led the inns, and put sabres and boarding-
Ribes in place. iNty venerable old Dutch

too clear, and the columns of the news-

Farmers, lords of the soil, you have had
a most prosperous season. A kind Provi
dence has most graciously smiled upon
you, and your granaries arc groaning with
the weight of a bountiful harvest. - Your
fa 111 Hie , : are expecting—and justly too—that
you will, in the approaching Ilolidays open
your heart and wallet. Lawyers, you, too,
have had a good practice. Your clionis
hove been many, and you have eaten the
oyster, they have had the shell. Open than
thy purse liberally. Doctors, the God of
lillsculapins hats smiled upon you, and both
large doses and the little pill hits east up
into your pockets a copious discharge of
greenbacks. Remember the expectations
of your friends, and purge your purse of its
overloaded stamps. Artizens, you, ton,
have been highly favored. Your skill has
been liberally rewarded, and your loved
ones expect much from you; disappoint
them not, but go to Hess and there make
your holiday purchases without delay.
