Few men of his age oomld have passed the ordetl of the Credit Mobiler ex amination and the subsequent censure of the House, with the nerve displayed by Mr. Ames. The strain, however, was too grent Jbr eeen his iron constitution. With Mr. James Brooks, another of the implicated, he has now passed to the land of silenco and quietude. The lead ing men of the country are falling out of their places rapidly and suddenly. We are living in an ago when intensity of brain activity isproduc'iDg its sad har ests. Harrisbnrg Telegraph. M III Tuf.iie is something startling in the rapidity with which prominent publio men are dying. The year is still young, but it has already witnessed the deaths ol many prominent men on both conti nents, of whom we call to mind at this moment Napoleon III, liulwer, Baron, Liebig, pnd Baptist Noel in Europe, and in this country Joshua Leavitt, Com modore Maury, Governor Geary, Sena tor Bison, General Canby, James Brooks, Minister Orr, Chief Justice Chase, Captain Hall and Oakes Ames. This is of course only a small portion of the record of eminent men deceased. It will be one of the remarkable coinci dence of history that the same month fchould witness the funerals of both Ames and Brooks, the two victims of Congressional censuie. John Stuart Mill, the most eminent of the Britibh es sayists and writers on political economy, is a loss which may well be mourned by the civilized world. He was a man of spotless character, looking ever to the right as his rule of action,. But the great, as well as the humble must die ! State Journal. Some people havo a chronic habit of despairing of the country. Scarcely a day passes that we do not hear some somber-minded indivdual declaim against the general rotteuness, and prophesy of coming evil ; scarcely a day that we do not read in some exchange, gloomy fore bodings as to the future. What non sense all this is. Men are no worse to day than they were twenty centuries, or one couture, or half a century ago ; in fact, they are generally supposed to have improved, morally and intellectually, taking them as a mass, sinoe the advent of Christianity ; and that improve ment in both morals and intellect is still progressing. What if a supreme rascal does occasionally appear upon the sur face, or a dozen of them, for that mat ter 1 Has not every other age produced the like, and why should we of the pres ent expect exemption ? The masses cf mankind are honest ; intelligence is be ing more generally diffused ; and whils this is the case we have certainly raorj cause to hope than to fear. The r ct.U that appear periocliceily ia pubVo end private are but the ouui throrn to tie surface by the bnbbling of tH caldroi the principal ingredients of tVa poi a.e the sounder anl sweater for tbe'r expul sion. We certiinly can re? J in the signs of ihs times no danger to onr country in the near 'uture; and ii' wc can put faith in the declarations of the press of all parties, thp- e is ipno; for we Republicans contend that our party, as a whole, is pure, trid the De'nocrMs and Liberals claim to be the very soul cf honor and honesty. We except of course, the few black Eiiojp in ill pirtios occosionally oiscovered and eiautcd lrom the fold. Toh bein so, the oor.niry, for the present, must be sifs. What may occur a century cr tea centuries hence is not worth considering1 (".Har lisburg Telegraph. Chief Justice Chase was thrice mar ried. His first wife was Miss Kate Gar niss, by whom there was no issue. We believe she ,'aa a !aughtsr or niece of a Mr. Garniss, well known ia Cincinnati forty years ago. His second wife was Miss Lizzie Smith. She was ton mother ot Miss Kato Chase, now the wiij of Senator Sprague, of Rhode Islanu. nis third wife was Miss Sarah B. Ludlov?, gra nddaughter of Israel Ludlow, one of the first colony of settlers on the Sym mes purchase. She was the mother of Miss Nettie, now Mrs. Hoyt of New York, at whose house the Chief Justioe died. The $300 Law. The Uws of our 8tate have wisely thrown some restriction around the grasping rapaoity of those who would roinetirhes invoke the aid of ornelty to enforce the demands of justice. Unfore seen circumstances may sometimes pre vent creditors from fulfilling the letter of their bonds aad in such cases Shylock should be restrained from exacting his pound of flesh. Although the intention of our exemption law is good, we yet think that it is framed in such a way as to allow too much exemption to those who are disposed to live by the sweat of some one else's brow instead of their own. As the law now stands, it allows a man to retain from creditors, goods' to the amount of 8300. If be only has goods to that amount he can keep them from being sold to pay his just debts, even though his pockets were stuffed with greenbacks at the time. Or, if he has thousand of dollras' worth of property that happens to be located in some other plaeo, out of the reach of creditors, he can still retain the amount of exemption from the articles that creditors may be able to find. A man may have real es tate or a stock of goods and contract debts to a large amount on the credit of them, bat when his creditors proceed to collect their demands, he sells out, puts the money in his pocket, and then claims 3300 besides. It seems to ns that the law should be so amended as to obligue the debtor to at least make an affidavit that the goods he claims under the exemption law are all he posesscs; and that he has neither money nor securities, which when added to the value ot the goods he claiais, will exceed the valuo of 8300. If in addi tion to this he bc'conipelled to testily under oath, and answer such questions as might be asked by parties interested, it would do much to close a door through which honest men do not care to travel, but which often affords a means of escape for the fraudulent shyster. The unfor tunate honest man does not care to hide his effoots from his creditors, and the unfortunate scallawag should not be al lowed to. Protecting honest debtois is one thing ; assisting lraud is quito an other. It has been urged by some that there should bo no excmpliou, becau.se it teuds to encourage extravagance and ruuning in debt. We think, however, for the sake of humanity, no creditor should have the power to cast women and children iu the street without any thing. All we want is that the law shall not be allowed to shield rasoals. Scran ton Times. Over the the thriving little town of Dixon, Illinois there is, at present a pall of sadness, the gloom of which the least interested cannot help feeling. It is oc casioned by a calamity that occurred Suuday, May 4cb, 1873, the particulars of which are substantially as follows : From 200 to 300 people had gathered on a bridge to witness the baptism of ten converts. Just as the third candidate was presenting himself for baptism there was a sharp, quick crash a heavy rum bling, nud a prolonged, soul-rending shriek from those on the structuie. The main western stringer of the north span of the bridge broke like a reed, tipping three hundred persons into the stream, and falling fifty feet with crushing weight upon them. The fall dislodged the stays from the abutments. The shock ran along the whole lcught of the bridge like a flash ol electricity and span alter span was drawn from the piers and sank to the water's surface, till the whole five huog like immenne bags holding a bruised, bleeding, frightened aud.frau tio mass of men, women and children, and horses. The imagination can scarcely conceive of a more terrible cal amity. The situation was so terrible, the chances of escape so fjw, the chances of aid so scanty, that it is merely marvellous that the loss of life is not greater. ' As it is, over fifty were either drowned or crushed to death beneath the great mass of broken iron and timber. GENERAL NEWS. Cotton mills are paying twenty-five per cent, in Georgia.
