Thu wur Imatoned tho do vulopmeiil of .corruption by bnbiiuat ing tho peoplo tn tho pardon of any crime nomtnittcil in lliu Republican puny," beouuae that purty'ti iucccm was essential ti tho salbty of the nation..-: Wo still heur men, otherwise considered ' sane, laying, "I would rulhur voto for the devil himsrlf than for it Jlcmocrnl." . Tho result of tho wur placed u military party in power, organised corruption, took possession of tho Government, nnd now Grunt stands fur thus tho candidate of the great corrupt money power, which, by iscls of Legislatures and of Ocjn- gross, has become "strung orongh lo defy the peoplo lit the polls, and to plan u perpetual rule und a permanent occupation of tho Government. "Tho President is avowedly theenndi- duloof the rich men of tit ) country, and by tho rich men wcTo not moan thoso who by Industry, co.ouomy and ability have acquired small fortunes aa their list reward. Wo mean tho chronic millionairesand spoeiiliillvo capitalists, who, without industry, without econ omy,but with dungoroiis ability, havo grown enormous rich out of thu lion est labor of olhors, und who togolhor hnyo rticcceded in controlling even tho i.'utioiml finances. They use not only their own money in speculation, but yours and ours ; the slock, the bonds, tho fuctonus, tho mills, tho property of tho people, tho vory money hoy uto rises or falls in value- us these pow erful epeeulutivo rings determine. Thcro is not a man connected with thoso rings who is not earnestly for Grant, who will not spend money und energy to elect him, and thus originate the campaign cry that tho "financial interests" of tho country demand and bis administration shall bo continued. As the cundidato of tho rich men, Ulyssos 8. Grant is a success. - lie bus never entered a poor mun'a house or allowed his children to aincd be be came rich himself. All hjs associa tion ttnd friendships are with the rich. Liko ull men who have wculj-U thrust auddonly opon thorn, he at taches o It false Importance, and the unaccustomed luxuries of horses and dogs fill him with vulgar delight. But more than this, he has boon Initi ated Into the valuo of money aa a political power) he has aoen the high ost honors in tho gift of tho people purchased us deliberately as men purchuso calllo; be has witnessed tho snlo of State Legislatures, and Con gress Itself bought wholesale by the bribes of tho Credit Moblier. The lesson so easily lesrno l is boldly prac ticed. Thu President depends fur bis conlinuunco in office upon money alone in every election district in the United Stales. It was tho unlimited expen diture of monoy in North Carolina, distributed under the pretense ihut it was for tho uso of iho judiciary that produced tho monstrous fruud and begun' counting there. It wns money corruptly tpouU in-HUinw thai saved his majority In thut euro quarter from being cut down lo alarmingly low fig ures. It la the money that bo is now squandering in Pennsylvania upon which ho relics fur knock injj the Gree ley progress on the bend in the drcud ed election of October. . s ( "Never before was such an expen sive campaign as this known in ibe United States. Whenco comes the shower of wealth f I'ruin the luxa tion of every person employed by tho Government, no mutter bow liumblo his position and how small his sulary. From the Treustiry of tho United Slates, which makes the loan upon tho security that it will secure Grant's re election, nnd from tho vast specula tive, gambling rings of Iho rich men. w ho invest in Grant stock in tho ex pcclion that It will return them divi dends proportionate lo the risk. The speculation Is like tha', of the Credit liobilier; it depends upon tho Govern ment aid for the proSis it could nut gain by a legitimate transaction. All these uion arc for Grant. Rut the in. dustry of the counlry Is not tor him ; the manufacturers are not for him. His ally is the spoliation which plunders both. Tho power which makes tho national wealth is natural ly with Greeley, and thut which des irously and unscrupulously uses il, sustains Grunt, because he is its wil ling tool, and because iu his second administration schemes of conquest and aggrandizement are to bo perfect ed which in the first would not have beon attempted. 'If Grant is elected it will be be cause this money power, identified and auuluined by th .l.olo furo ttitl Influ ence of tho Government of tho United Stales transformed into a political machine, bus becomo stronger than tho peoplo. What tho inevitable re sult will be is too obvious. The first thing wo shall hear, if ho is elected, will be a proposition in Congress that, in obodience to the expressed will ol all the pooplo, of all parlios, tho Presi dential term shall be extended to six er evn to tor.. ilh rcc tation of a compromise on eight. This will hardly surprise us after what we bave been and beard. We arc told now thnt the "financial interests" re quire that Grunt shall be continued in power; will they continue lo "re quire" il f We aro told that the peace of tho South can not bo muintainod without him ; is il likoly that bo will mako it moro peaceful? ' It is assert ed that under him tho country bus boen more prosperous and contented thut il ever was before; qnd should not this happy rule bo continued . All lli o reasons why Grunt should be re elected now will bo urged with double force und plausibility in favor of the extension of his term of office. - "Wo already heur men lulking of the inconvenience of Presidential elec tions and iho Iniprriipliiiu they ruuse to business, and urging that the term should be mudo at least six years Only tho other day a distinguished und eloquent advocate of Grunt de clared that the peoplo wanted him lo be their President "us lung as God and tho constitution'' would permit. The constitution unfortunately, offers no bur to his lo.eleeiion but wo think it would bo us well to leave God out of tho question. And exactly the means which aro now used to inuko his to-oluclion compulsory will then be employed with still grouter potency to effect this changa in the constitu tion. Tho pooplo wilt have lost their' opportunity. They will not be able to tour down the powor which they allowed to onlronch itself in the gov ernment, and Hie term will be extend ed. Then will follow the Napoleonic eloctive presidency, justified by na tional necessities, and nothing is then left fur this counlry but submission to a pormnnonlly-ostublished govern ment or resort lo revolution. Tho logic is not ours. It is llio )ogio of hutnunily the logic of all history." When you read & book crush the words as you would grapes, and suck their meaning out. , It is the only way to got the puro wine of thought from the vintage of literature. : A Kansas paper tells about a man who attempted lo steal a public road which ran through bis furtn. One of the plainest coses of highway robbery wo ever hoard of. A young lady studying Fronoli, and finding that "bello" meant "fine," told somebody in a letter tbal we bad great deal of bell wcalhor lately. , The Fair Vertliot. A verdict of ucquittul this morning terminated the most remarkable and intorusting criminal triut that bus oc curred In the history of California. On the evening of the 8d of Novem ber, J370, Mrs. Luura D. Fair shot and killed lion, A. 1'. Criltendcn. Ilotb tho parties to the tragedy were widely known. Mrs. Fuir was of no toriously bad character, and hud fig ured conspicuously in connection wilh sovoral terrible shooting affuirs Mr. Cl'ifltf'ndcn was nn j-ininent luwyer und a loading pull ticlun, although never vyjVitS uruuo. Alio long rcaiueucu .in the Bwte, distinguished rrputution und higl. social standing as the bead of a large and respected family, gave unusul interest to tha case, and excited publio attention in a greater degree than was ever known before The press lepmod with details of the crimo, and did not scruple to lift the curtain which hud screened the private con duct of tho parties. Mrs. Fuir's whole life was exposed to the publio gaze, and tho dark and bloody incidotils ol her strange career dwelt upon and portrayed in strong colors. Under theso circumstances il is not surpris ing thut grout diflleully wns experi enced in getting n jury of unbiased and imrmrlial citizens. Noarly every man of sufficient Intelligence to set tin a jury hud lead about iho case and formed a decided opinion. Finally, howovor, twelvo men were found capa ble of service in that capacity, and the trial proceeded under ibe manage ment of a powerful array of counsel. Woek after week it drugged its alow length along, but tho public interest in tho proceedings appeared never to flag. The nowspupcrs published ull Iho testimony, including a mass of cor respondence which bud belter have beon omitted. The trial at last came io an end, at tho expiration of thirty days, resulting In a vordicl of guilty of murder in tho first degree. An ap peal was taken lo the Supremo Court, and a new trial grunted. After a patient investigation of twenty-two days, the second jury brought in, this morning, a verdict of "Not Guilty. ' Nobody, now, we think, expected Mrs. Fair to hang, but this vordict of "not jiniliy," in the fuco of all the evi dence, strikes llio community wilh as tonishment. If there over wus a de liberate murder it was that of Critton- dun. If Mm. Fair was insane, then everybody who, moved by evil pas sions, commits a wicked net, is also insune tlioro can bo no such thing as crime, and there should be no such thing ns punishment. For it must bo remembered that Mrs Fuir wus not a nmi'len seduced nnd belrayoJ, or a virtuous wnu wtiiwe me uuu uuttti blasted by an unholy love. Sho was notorious womun of the world, who, during her yeurs of open concubinage wilh I r victim bus diuwu from him largo i-pma of money, and Iho provo cation , which prompted her to tho dood was that her paramour, who liv ing with her Imd disgraced his wife and didionored his children, hud mude up bis: mind lo aguin to yield lo his better impulses, and return to the wo man vhom ho hud sworn to lovo, honor und cUrieh, and who, 8 the mother of his Children hud stronger claims lo his love and devotion than any other human Doing on ourlh could have Thin the provocation which in- ducul Irs. Fair to shoot down her purumvir at llio moment oi uis meet ing wiJh bis outraged family to send him iijto eternity with crimes una- neled, lust as the much injured wifo had itilin tonio to him nftor an ab sence ind living deulh of years. And liio deliberate killinir of a man upon Mh provocation as thid is what the viidiet of the jury declares no crime I We do not extenuate the oonduel of Crittenden. lie bad pluoed himself outside the polo of sympathy ; but ficra were not the hands which should be held guiltless in taking his life. If ho was no belter than she us, she at least wns as bud as ho. io real victim is tho dovotcd wife ahd hoart-broken widow. There are many morals to this vor diet. The first and most striking is tlial money is the bosl defense a crim inal can have. 1 Had Mrs. Fuir been destitute of a bank account, she would ere this huve been, siylinjing from a gallows of jiuvebepn looking forward to able of imprisonment. The next in that tho requirement of luw, whlcbH excludes from a jury every man ot average intelligence, is un impediment to justice; and llio third moral is that in the unwritten law of the land the man who mukos illicit connections is na Islimuolila, against whose life any womun's hand may be raised with Im punity.! ' ' ''" So strong was the J.ocjjng In regard io Ibis, that wo think there aro vory few in the community who would have wished to ace Mrs. Fair bung. The general desire was that ah should escape through aomo blindness or technical fault of tho law. or llio dis- auroeinant of tho iurv. tut not that she should be formally declared not ifUlltV. .,.'.'! . . ..'- This verdict wilt be considered abroad as another evidence ot lb Isx- "The Intelligence and Integrity of the State." That the honest yeomanry of tho Slato have been overwhelmed in tho lato contest by tho most corrupt and unscrupulous ring of political high waymen Ihut ever disgraced thoStnte, we need but call Col. Forney, a staunch Giant supporter and stumper, to the stand. On tho morning of tho elec tion he suid in his Prest i "Perhaps il is too lute in tho day to ask the peoplo of Pennsylvania tavole against llieJJing, or to watch und do feu t its manoeuvres at the polls.

Tho magnificent structuro erected by Philip II. of Spain to commomo- rata his victory over tho French at St. Qicntin has been deslrovod by Cro. Tho scanty doluils furnished by tho telegraphic despatches give rea son to fear that the building bus been reduced to n complclo ruin, und that tho priceless treusuros of art and lit rrature which were deposited in tho Lscuriul are lost forever. Tho tiro is said lo havo beon caused by lightning and there Is something appalling in tho rapidity wilh which the grand old monument succumbed to tho devour ing clement. . Among tho many land murks, which within a few years have been lost to posterity nono had so deep an interest for llio thoughtful mind as litis . lemplo-tomb of the gloomy Spanish King. Its history is strangely enlwinod with the glory of Spain in tho days whon the shadow of her haughty flag was cast over half a conquored world.

' A study of the details of our recent census will show other facts quite as satisfactory as tho increaso of popula tion. Indeed, though ouradvnnco in tho latter respect is extremely grnti; fyiiig, it is not quite up tojlio enthusi astic anticipations expressed beforo. tho (ru h waa mado known. Many beliovcd thnt instead of thirty -ono and u bulf millions as iho round n urn Let at which the census of 18G0 allowed us, lo put our population, tho census of 1870 would give ns at least forty mil. lions ; instead of which, we aro not allowed lo stulu tho round figures ubovo thirty-eight and a half millions, or an increaso f hot quite twonty-fiva per cent. , Hut not so our products.' ilany of them have advanced fur be yond any relative proportion which wo should have expected to this iu- crcaso of population. Among others, this is truo of our agricultural pro- ducts. Going back, not ton, but twen ty years for our standard of compari son, it is seen still more plainly. Knowing that our increase of popula tion within tbe twenty years hud been but ubout sixty per cent., we believe' no ono would have ventured to put tho present production of so mo of our largest staples, on whoso telative abundance we have always prided ourselves, at two, three, or five-fold that of 1850. And yet, unwarranted as this would bave seemed as nn eslU mate, il is established as a fact by the figures of the census. ' The Buret,; of Statistics, in giving some of the sum maries of returns, (ells us that in twenty years tho Whoat crop of the country has trebled. Barley has in- ' creased six-fold. Flux, six-fold. Fla, seed, three fold, flops huve increased soven-fold not so encouraging. Out have doubled. Live slock have trebled in estimated value, if not in numbers. Now they nro reckoned ul tho some what startling sum of fifteen hundred, and twenty-five million dollars oc nearly ttvo nuiiuiuu uouuis iwi cvory -family in the nation. ' Slaughtered ani mals have nearly quadrupled in yaluo, and ara now estimated at four hundred million dollars annually. Wool has in creased from sixty to a hundred mil lion pounds. Cotton, is half a million bales above llio crop of 1S50, theugli it has not yet returned tq tho great , crop of 1800 the palmy days whon Cotton was called King. Irish pota toes havo only increased a third, w hile, swoet potatoes have decreased one- , half. Corn has increased largely within tho period, though, il seems, the crop of 18uG was turgor than that . of 1ST J by sevenly-oight million bush- , els, or ton per cent, of tho wholo. . One ; drawback to tho cultivation of corn, is ,; iho fact thut the c'oat of ils tramspor-.-, taliun fi'oiu tho region vf its most lux- uriutit growth to tho sea board too often takes away ull the profit of pro duction. Tho farmer some times al most fouls that tho more ho bos of it , tho poorer he is. Not so, however wilb wool, -and wheat, and boof, and soiijo oi tho other products lo which tho attention of farniors is turned, aud , by which the oouijtiy is growing rich. Examinuliuu would probably bhow some similar rule of increaso in other linos ot production. Most of tbe lead ing manufactures bave been advanc ing as fast, probably, or faster Ibaa our agricultural interests; and mining has grown up from comparative in significance to a place in the vory front rank in our industrial pursuits. Doubtless Ihe Increase in the money value of ibis production bus vastly outstripped that of every othor. Tbo ' resources of the country are beginning to be developed.' ' And, with our"' bet ter Understanding of what these roally are our better methods which ecionc is teaching, bolter machines which in-' volition is giving, improved facilities' iu every respect which overy day is multiplying, the increase of produc tion for tho next len or iwerity yean ' will bo still groiulor.
