SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1866.
THE CONSERVATISM OF THE TIMES
Conservatism is a very good thing in
its way, particularly when there is any
thing worth conserving to conserve; but
when men drift into a conservative line
by way of tenderness for a notorious
wrong, they are apt to flounder about,
and if they are especially zealous in their
conservatism they are likely to make
some terrible mistakes. As a case in
point we might mention the New York
Times and its principal editor. We have
,generidly held the Times in high esteem;
but since Mr. Congresstnan Raymond
has become so especially tender towards
foiled traitors, and. so very mealy
mouthed in speaking of their crimes,
Mr. Editor Rayinond has drifted from
tender consideration for defeated rebels
into active sympathy for them,
their crimes and, their partisans, and,
naturally enough, into ridiculing the
class which`they, have always oppressed.
In yesterday's issue of Mr Raymond's
paper there is an article, a third of a
column long, which is, devoted to bur
lesquing Fred. Douglass., Mr. Douglass
lately made a speech in Brooklyn, in
the course of which he said
"I do not And fault with Mr. Beecher,
though Ido not always agree with , him, I
remember that, not many years';;ago, he
declared that, if the Could 'abolislielavery on
the instant, or, by waiting twentgr-five years,
could`heve it aciabolifdred that its overthrow
would wholly , redound' to the glory of the
Christian Church, he would prefer the
latter:. I presume he was entirely sincere
in,this preference; and yet if /were aMary
land edarehatder; - and Mr. .Beecher were my
slapp, and I had •a rawhide,-I could take this
opsnionowt of him in leesthan half anhour."
On this - text the - /Imes gives us a
homily in which the - writer speedily
gets into the old beaten track of five
years ago, before Sumter_was fired upen,
and when it was fashionable to fall
prostrate before the., idol of slavery,
and caste and race and feat dirt by the
peck. There IS no attempt made in the
article to controvert the argument or
the logic of Mr. Douglass; but he is
slurred at because he "a mulatto , of
considerable smartness;" "a six-foot
, negro," and "a brawny mulatto;" while
Mr. Beecher is referred to as a "Christian
gentleman and a philanthropist."
We do not object to any words of
praise, that may be bestowed upon Mr.
Beecher, but when Mr. Beecher, Mr.
Douglass'and Mr. Raymond enter into
the field of discussion together, we do
hold that it is not fair, generous ormanly
to allude to the length of the heel, the
color of the skin or the peculiar con
struction of the shin-bone of the party
which gets the best of the argument.
There are very many men with skins
as white as that of Mr. Raymond who
do not agree with Mr. Beecher in the
doctrine that theglory of the Christian
church could by any possibility be ;en
hanced, by the prolonging of the system
of human slavery a quarter of a century.
Fred. Douglass put the ease pithily,
strongly and good naturedly in the
remarks which we have quoted above,
and the Times would have shown its
good sense and its good taste by either
saying nothing about it, or by arguing
the question upon its merits alone, and
by leaving out of the discussion the com
plexion of a man whom it has shown its
inability to tope with in argument.
"Pres. Mau, 'decide."
Christian Berger, the murderer of Miss
Watts, at Germantown, was last evening
convicted of murder of the first degree.
This result was expected, as the chain of
evidence, even although it was entirely
circumstantial, left all doubt of his guilt
out of the question, notwithstanding the
fact that the confession which he noto
riously made was not given in evidence
to the jury.
There are some features about this case
that will give it a place among memorable
murders. The criminal is a young man,
married within a year, and but recently
become a father. He seems, up to the
period of the commission of the crime,
to have been rather idle and thriftless
than vicious, and his worst offences seem
to have been running in debt and failing
to make any effort to support his family.
He knew the habits of the old lady whom
he had selected as his victim, and he
knew too that rumor attributed to her
the possession of a considerable amount
of money. This money he determined
to secure, and having watched on several
occasions to see at what time Miss Watts
was alone at home, he prepared himself
with a well-sharpened razor, and obtain
ing an entrance into the house, he de
liberately cut the throat of the poor,old
woman. Having obtained what plunder
he could lay hands on, the murderer es
caped by the back way and fled, no
one knows whither. It is known,
however, that in his flight he threw
away the bloody razor, and that he also
made away with a eed belonging to
Miss Watts, and some silver spoons
which bore the initials of the murdered
woman. But the skill and cunning
which had thus far ided the butcher in
his bloody work seem to have deserted
him. He retained the money he had
obtained, a little over fifty dollars, and
had he concealed it and remained silent
he could scarcely have been convicted
or even suspected of the terrible crime.
About three hours after the murder he
turns up again at Germantown, appa
rently as unconcerned as though no
thing unusual (had happened, and
he chats with several persons about the
THE CONVICTIO.N OP BERGETE
bloody theme as though he had no in
terest in the dark deed. But strangest
of all, the money that was gaiped at
such a terrible cost is coolly expended in
paying his honest debts and in making
provision for the comfort of his family.
The being who was capable of deliberate
ly committing one of the most wicked
and cruel murders on record, utses the
fruits of it like an honest, careful and
Conscientious man. It is strange that
the human heart and human reason can
become thus perverted and distor.ted.

In Mecklenburg county. North Carolina, about 33
runes from the town of Charlotte.
On this 'property 15 Walla or pita have been opened
and sunk to various depths from 10 to 15 feet, demon
strating the existence of three parallel veins of ore of
about 1 feet In width and aboutla feat apart; converging
to a common centre at the depth of about 150 feet, fbr
ming one immense mass or vein of ore extending in
length through We property more than half a rude.
There are also on this property other veins of ore un
explored. All these ores are known as the brown ores,
and are very rich, yielding an average of about 6- 70
per ton In gold. The above results having been
demonstrated by the rude working of the mines for
'event] years past; the risk of investment in node.
ve loped property isnot Incurred, and by the application
of modern mining and reducing machinery the Com
pany aadcli ate an immediate and large return for their
money.
Raving as ore that readily yields gYIO per ton, some
estimate can be made of the value of this property .
with the present Imperfect system of mining. Ten
tons of this ore can be taken out and reduced daily
from every shaft opened at an expense not exceeding
vs per ton leaving a net daily profit of 11,700 for each
shaft worked by the Company.
The large working capital reserved will enable the
Company at once to procure and erect the best modern
machinery for:manlpulating the ores, by means of
which the yield will be largely increased.
These Inines,whilst they produce ores ncher than
those of Colorado or I.4vada, have many advantages
over them. particularly in an abundance of feel and
cheap labor. arid the facility with which they Can be
worked during the entire year, whilst those of Colo
