A DANIEL COME TO JUDGMENT.
One of our’exchange papers has a para
graph wineli ‘'convinces us that in “ The Far
West,” which, only a few. years ago, was re
garded as. the .uitima Tliulo of civilization,
there is, at' least, one sensible man. The para
graph runs thus: ; ,
■ : The prosecuting attorney at St. Paul, Minne
sota, has <iecideB[ that whore a man only-passes one
counterfeit bill, and cannot bo conviotcd of having
passed'u uuinber, or being' a counterfeiter by pro
fession, heis ejcempt'from prosecution.”
, Human nature is much too apt to indulge in
suspicion 1 ;' Let a man, tho most innocent in
the,world, accidantplly present a forged bill,
-in payment or for change, and, the mo
ment its, worthlessness is discovered,, every
one, drops down on him as if he wore a criminal
—a regular counterfeiter—an uttorer of false
notes—a. thorough scamp, who lives by fraud.
We'are "'too'much in the habit of looking it
th'e dark sido 'of things; ‘of fancying that there
mmt- bo „a dark side, to of taking for
granted, should the tiniest, c'oud come be
tween us-,and the moon, that, the Queen of
Night is,eclipsed. Let an imputation be cast
upon onr neighbor’s character, and instead of
manfully stating our disbelief, wo suifer suspi
cion to darken onr mind; we yield, almost with
out a struggle, to the insinuation, andalmost in.
Voluntarily adopt , it. Many and many a man
has been, condemned by public as well as pri
vate opinion, within. ton minutes after a
charge has bcon made against him. Nineteen
times out of twenty, to accuse is to condemn.
There is nothing extraordinary in this. Hu
man nature is by. no means perfect, and the
tendency of this imperfection inclines us to the
.worst. Such things, are daily done in the
world, bo totally wrong, that we doubt even of
what is right. A man lives, for years, before
tho searching nnd critical eyes of Society,
bearing himself in the most estimable manner—
to all appearance moral, religious, charitable,
honest—and we suddenly hear that his career
was but a living lie, that he had committed
heavy frauds or great defalcations. Two or
three, times, within our own knowledge, such
a thing occurs, and then Suspicion comes in—
suspicion of all who Seem good, because of the
badness of a few. We become illogical as
well as' distrustful, judging by particulars in
stead of generals. We cannot help it.
Mark, too, how apt the mind, having got
this bias, is to increase it. One of the penalties
of Celebrity is that'it becomes a mark for ob
loquy. Tho more eminent a man is, the more
exacting is Society as regards his conduct.
What may bo light and trivial in an ordinary
person, grows into matter for grave comment,
insinuation, accusation, reproof, should he be
come noted. Strangely and strongly does the
mind act as inquisitor on the notions of the great.
Their defects arc • magnified, their good deeds,
taken as simple matters of courso, pass unre
garded. Their foot may slip as they walk the path
of daily life, and rumor rapidly exaggerates the
accident into a heavy fall, assigning disgraceful
habits as the cause. Bitterly, hut truly—for
he had himself experienced what he described
—has Byron written on this subject, in refer
ence to Sheridan —
“Theorator, dramatist, minstrel, who rati
Thro each mode of the lyre, and was master of all.”
In. hia Monody on the death of that most
brilliant but erraticnmn, who was a giant in the
days when great men walked the earth, Byron
has these lines;
Hard is his fate oh whom the publie gaze
Is fixed for over to detractor praiso ;
Itoposo denies her requiem to his name,
And Folly loves the martyrdom of Fume
The secret enemy whose sleepless oyo
' • Stands sentinel—accuser—judge—and spy,
The foe—the fool—the jealous—and the vain,
The envious who but breathe in others’ pain—
Behold the boat! delighting to deprave,
Who track tho stops $ Glory to the grave,
Watch ovory fault that daring Genius owes
Half to the ardor which hia birth bestows,
Distort the truth, accumulate the lie,
And pile tho pyramid of Calumny.
All this time, however, we may appear to
have forgotten that sensible man, and humane
as sensible, tho district attorney of St. Paul’s,
Minnesota. Not at all. His decision led us
to ( * improve tho, occasion” with a few com
ments, Even with a chain of circumstances,
with connected liuks of evidence against the
accused, the law humanely believes him inno
cent until he be proven guilty. But, espe
cially in the caso of passing or attempting to
pass counterfeit money, it would seem as if,
in most places, the simplest suspicion suddenly
gains vitality. One swallow docs not make a
summer, says the adage, and so a single coun
terfeited note ought not to constitute a crimi
nal.
From Madeira—The Grope Failure—lntroduc
' tioD of the Catawba.
* [Correspondence Boston Traveller 1
Madeira, Saturday. July
Madeira has lost much of its prestige flinoe tho
cholera of last summor, which carried oft ten thou*
sand persons. The English avoid it this year, which
is a drawback (bitegaiety. The failure or the grape
has given it' another blow, and produced n groat
deal of poverty and distress- The Portuguese say,
.however, that it baa beontff service to the island,
aa the people have turned their attention to the
production of grains and tho sugar cane, and are
•no longer ‘under the 'dominion of English wine
merchants.. -This year there is not a grape on the
island . and all hopes of overcoming the blight are
given tip. No one comprehends tho disease, and no
remedv cAn be found. The grapes when two months
old eotot a mould on the shady aide, as large as a
pin’s hettd; which hursts nnd shoots out the seed—
in ft few days they are dead. Mr. March has in

The School Convention at Millersvilie was
largely attended. Thero woro some-thousands of
persons on. the ground. Tho exercises 'in the
morning wore highly creditable, and the speaking
in the woods in the afternoon most excellent.
Govornor Pollock was present, and acquitted him
self nobly in behalf of our common sohoolfcyatem.
Millorsville is one of the most boautiful vllfagcs in
the county.' It is situated about forir mills south
of tho city of Lancaster, in perhaps the finest
agricultural region in the world. I have do doubt
you' remember well the reputation of' the old
manor, the fine farms, the immense draught
horses, and tho superior breed of cattlo, fqr which
it is distinguished. Tho object of the Convention
was to tako into consideration tho propriety of
converting the'present Normal School, at'Millers

district, composed of the couutiea of. Lancaster,
York, oijd Lebanon. A laigo number of delegates
were present, uhd the begl of feeling pre^ftfod.

neighbors of Northampton, and some of our load
ing men aro going into tho enterprise with spirit
and energy. They held a meetiug a few days ago,
at the Engle Hotel, wh ch was largely’ attended,
and yesterday ono at the National Ifotwe, ; where
were present quite a number of onr principal far
mers from the county. A resolution wm passed tp
bold an agricultural fAit ’in Ootdber

time subscriptions will be raised to defray ex
penses and provide for the erection of suitablo
buildings; The pcoplo of Lancaster aro deter
mined not to be any longer behind tho age in any
thing which cnii contribute to our common welfare
and prosperity. An association of that oharaotor
could not fail to prosper here. It would most un
questionably prove a source of profit to tho stock
holders, whilo it would tend to introduce improve
ments in farming and farming utensils, which
would toll with tremendous effcot upon our rioh
and fertile soil.
The mornings and evenings aro growing cool and
refreshing, and an" occasional ohilling wind fore
tells tho approach of autumn Tho time of sum
mer, green fields, and flotyors, will soon bo over,
and vegetation will ore long yield to tho blighting
frost of winter. How rapidly and yot. how surely

blossoms —summer, with its warm sun and pelting
rains—autumn, with its golden fruit—and winter,
with its cold snows and piercing winds—all pass

The Speaker of the Senate.
This letter, as tho reader will perceive, was ad
dressed to the Sennto of Pennsylvania, and that
body referred it to a committee consisting of
Messrs Pearson, Porter, and Lower, which commit
tee was instructed to eonsidor and report upon it.
On tho Gth of March, 1802, tho committee submit
ted Ao following report:
“The commitlco appointed to hoar tho cominuni
option of Valentino Kittoring, relativo to his euro
of the bito of a mad animal, report:
“That they conferred with the said Kittoring on
that subject, who informed them that ho uses the
herb called red chick-weed, wliioh, when ripe, or
in full bloom, ho gathers and dries in tho shade,
reduoos it to a powder, and gives a small table
spoonful, at one timo, to a grown person, in beer or
water, in weight one drachm and one scruple; for
a child, an equal dose, but given nt three different
times, or it may be eaten on bread, with butter,
honey, or molasses, ns tho person chooses. For a
beast, a largo spoonful; if by weight, two drachms
and one scruple. When used green, for a boast,
cut the herb lino nnd mix it with bran, A*o. When
given to swine, mix the powdered herb with meal
of any kind (doso ns above) in little balls.
“Ho assures us ho has given it to persona many
weeks aftor they wore bitten, and never knew it
to fail, and never gives more than a single doso,
except to children, ns above. Ho furtheesays, it is
an oxcellent cure for cuts or wounds on the human
body: when groon. mash it; drop of tho juico In the

tho proper timo to sow the sood is about the begin

says ho will give of the sood to others who will

“Thoy plao learn from the Reverend Henry
Muhlenberg, of Lanoastor, that it is an annual

did not touch apyorie qpesGon of State pdlioy or

should not be elected.Hisspeooh was divided into
two ports—first, the effort to excite personal and
political hostility against the South, and 1 second,
an attack on tho right of Catholics to vote. Any
casual stranger, Unacquainted with his J poaition.
would have thought that tho. North was ono nation ’'
| and tlio South another; that they wero atwar,'ahdi
that his business was to arouse the fiiry of the people,
for au exterminating conflict Ho attacked'’ the :
Supreme Court foil their decision,in tbo Dred
Scott case, and avowed that there was no
power in earth ,to which he would submit his
judgment. Ho assailed Mr. Buchanan as the tool
of tho South, and raved about tho wrongs of
Kansas, adding some monstrous stone 3 which wo
had nevor hoard before. In short, ho did the work
of tho Abolitionists in the best Btyio‘ of fanaticism.
Ho ia a fluent aud.unscrupulous speaker, but not
nearly equal to Fred. Douglass, either in matter
or manner, fle oonfinod his Know-Nothingism to
religion, ne was willing to let all foreigners vote
unless they wore Catholics; but, according to his
notion, tho conscientious boliof of a Catholic in
capacitated him from the performance, of any
political funotion They wore white slaves.
In tho course of his speech, he over and over
again took the name of God in vain—supporting
his bold assertions by tho most blasphemous im

Trugedy in Oswego—An Old Citizen Murdered
A terriblo tragedy was enacted last evening in
the town of Oawogo, threo miles south of this city.
About 4 o’clock, a man named Dennis Sullivan
called at tho farm-house of Mr. Joshua Hibbard,
who resided a short distance from tho railroad,
and sought rofugo from officers who he said wero
pursuing him. After suppor, of which ho par
took, Mrs. Hibbard had occasion to go to a neigh
bor’s residence, and upon hor return, ton minutes
aftonvurds, found her husband strotohed upon the
floor and stabbed in a horriblo manner. Tho neigh
bors wore immediately callod, and a physician
summoned, but the unfortnnato man almost imme
diately expired.
Search was at once made for ttm murderer, who
was soon fouud in a field in that vicinity. ’ When
taken, ho had a bloody sword in his possession, tbo
sheath of which wasdiscovered near the body of his
victim. The instrument was the property of Mr.
Hibbard. Tho prisoner was immediately brought
to tho jail in this city, wherehe arrivod shortly
after midnight.
Sullivan is an Irishman, about 23 years of age,
and stated that he had been employed in the Os
wego River Starch Factory.
Mr. Hibbard had been; until recently, a resident
of this city. H© was In the United States army
during tho war of 1812, and the Florida war, and
was over 70 years of age.
Certain American missionaries, in the Sandwioh
lslunds, we observe, have been presenting the King
with a beautiful Bible from the American Bible
sooiety, in aooepting which his Majesty is reported
to have made aqpxoeedingly appropriate and ex
pressive reply.

Sir : The Deportment has under consideration
the appeal of Messrs G. A. &H. iVittc from
yourdechion, asseeSng a duty of "fifteen per cent.,
under schedule E of tho tariff of 1857, on eleven
cases of “leeches” imported by them in the
steamer “HarmoniaV and entered at your port on
the 18th alt. - 1
■ i«uf decision soesis to hove been determined bv
tho following considerations: '• Leeches” wore
specifically designated in the tariff of IMO, io
schedule E, and are not specifically transferred to
any othor schedule by tho act oT March, 1857, and
the. terms ip the free list of schedule I of the tariff
of 1857, of “ animals, living, of all kinds,” do not
embrace jeeehes, but refer to that'description of
animats uoder tirs Tcraiej- Bonnots imported for
breed, ra the free list of the tariff of 1846, ltd
purposed Congress being merely to take off the
On the contrary, the importers
mats, living, of all kinds,” in schedule I, embrace
“leeches,” and operate necessarily ajea transfer of
them to that Behedole from schedules in the tariff
of 1846, nnd that consequently they wore not liable
to duty.
The first section of the act of March, 1857,
adopts the enumeration in the several schedules of
the tariff of 1846, with suoh exceptions as are
made in the subsequent provisions of that act.
LeooheB were specifically,designated in schedule
Eof the tariff of 1816. They aro not transferred
by name to any othor schedule of the tariff aot of
1857, but the comprehensive terms in schedule I
of that aot of animals living of all kinds, must, in
tho opinion of the Department, be held to embrace
“ leeohes,” and transfer them from schedule E, in
the tariff of 1840, to the frte list in schedule I, in
the tariff of 1857.
Your decision is, therefore, overruled, and the
articles in question are entitled to entry free of
duty, under schedule I of the tariff of 1857.
Very respeotfully, your ob’t sev't,

Wood's Patent Dry or Boiler Pelt.
Treasury Department, Aug. 25, 1857.
Sir : TbeDepartmenthasunderconsiderationan
appeal under the sth section of tho act of March,
1807, taken by Messrs. N. Mitchell A Sons, from
the decision of the collector of the oustoms at
Boston, os to tho rate of duty to be levied’ on an
artiole invoiced Bs“ Wood’s patent dry or boiler
felt,” entered by them at that port on tho 22d ult.
The collector imposed duty at tho rate of nine
teen per cent, upon tho article in question, as a
“manufacture of hair, not otherwise provided
for,” under schedule D of the tariff of 1857.
The appellants claim the entry of tho article
free of duty under tho classification in schedule I
of tho tariff of 1857, ua “ felt,- adhesive, lor
sheathing vessols,” or as an unenumorated article
subject to duty at the rate of fifteen percent.
Tho article in question Is a felt, but not an “ ad
hesive felt, within ,tha meaning of the law; nor
does it appear to be now, or ever to hare been so
known and designated in commeroe. On tho con
trary, it is known and designated, as invoiced, “ a
dry on boiler, felt,” being chiefly used in the
paoking of boilers. The article known in com
merce as “ adhesive felt, used for sheathing ves
sels,” contains tar or pitch ; while the artielo in
question is hair cleansed and compressed, but un
mixed with, any other substance to give it an ad
hesive quality..
It is unquestionably a manufacture of hair, and
falls under tho designation in schedule D of “ Ma
nufactures of hair not otherwise provided for,”
and is chargeable with duty at the rate of 19 per
oent.
Being thus designated in schedule D, It is, of
course, not a nonenumeratod article, as suggested
by tho appellants. The decision of the collector
is affirmed.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
Howell Cobb, Sec’y of the Treasury.

Treasvby Devauvmext, Aug 25, 1857-
Sm: An appeal has been taken from a decision
of the collector at Boston, by John Dwyer, Esq , as
to the rate of duty to be oharged on an article im
ported by him on the 10th inst.. into that port, in
tho barque “Lyman,”from St. Petersburg.and in
voiced “ folt.”
The collector assessed duty on the article in ques
tion as a manufacture of hair not otherwise pro
vided for,” at the rate of nineteen per cent , in
schedule D, of the tariff of 1857.
The appellant olaims the article to be entitled to
entry free of duty, under schedule I, of the tariff
of 1857, as “felt, adhesive, for sheathing vessels.”
The article 13 found, on examination, to be hair
worked into felt, uncombinod with any other ma
terial.
It is alleged by the appellant that it is exclu
sivoly used for “sheathing vessels.” It may bo
so; but it is, nevertheless, not the article known
In commerce as “felt, adhesive, for sheathing
vessels,” of whioh tar or some other adbesivo sub
stance is always a component material.
Tho collector’s decision, assessing duty on the
artiole in question, at the rate of nineteen per
Cent., as a‘ c manufacture of hair, not otherwise
provided for,” under schedule D, of the tariff of
1857, is affirmed.

Why the difference as to this hook ? For many

destruction could not reach them. Yet the n*mss

libraries, have left it unharmed.' The eruptions of

.were not abrogated nor erased: The Cross is the
ossence and the emblem of the record;, and while
all around tho place* where it was erected uttttiy
porlshed, that reeord, in all its perfectness, was
protected. Whether it be true or not, that “ She
Cross.” was written over that ensign! in letters
of fire upon the heavens, and conducted the first
Christian Emperor to victory, it is true that the
doctrines of this book were planted by the fchrwo*
and extended wide as the empire of tbeCwHn;
and yet when that empire fell and expired be
neath the scourge of the northern hordes aud the
soimetarof the Mohammedan, this book, with its
text and |ts doctrines continued to lire; itiener
ries were renewed, end It is still the same » when.
.Constantine became its adrooate. It has pasted
through times of literary and moral darkness aa
well'as light—of 'barbarism as well as civilisa
tion—through periods of enmity as well as friend
ship to its contents—and crossed that obUrioua
gulf which-divides the modern from the ancient
literary world, and where lies covered up, forever,
so muob of the literature and eclenoe of the na
tions. Other books have perishod when there was
no hostility to their doctrines ; this hu survived
whoa the arm of power was etretohid ouL and
every human passion exerted for its destroetfou.
It has survived, too, with no essential. aUero*

emendations of its text Take into yourmtimate
the magnitude of the work, and the multltada ef
the copies which curiosity and piety, through to
long a period, have made, and the chanree Ulfes

This is true not only in regard to aadsaft
writings but to many which are not old. Shake

yet two centuries and a naif since Romeo and
Juliet, and|Etc/mrri the Second and Third , (hie
first plays of whose date we have certain know
ledge), were written, and yet Warburtcn and
Farmer, Hanmer and Bowe, Pope and Theobald,
• Upton and Grey, Stevens and—more than all the
rest —Johnson, have devoted years of labor to re
store his text, and tells us what he did write. Why
ha 3 it required comparatively so little labor to
restore and preserve the purity of this volume,
which is so much older and has encountered to
much greater trials? Why was it that the Jews,
to whom “the law and tne prophets” wero trot
committed, should have manifested such diligence,
when it was transcribed or copied, that they even
’ counted the number of letters and oomparodaod
! recorded them ? IVhy has it come <Jown, through
centuries, when all else has been subject to altera
tion, and change, and destruction ? The only Rff*
swer, which even infidelity can reasonably give,
• is to be found in the writing itself, and in the
guardianship of its own all-powerful Author, who
f has protected it by bis providence and shielded it
by the terrible denunciation with which it elosts*
, against him who shall add to or take away from
“tho words of the prophecy”—“God shall take
away his part out of the book of life.”

Independence, Aug. 21, 1857.—This sLenwrf
the Santa Fe mail reached us, and the gleanings of
my correspondence and the papers you have hero*
with.
Tbo season hr.e been unusually dry and cold, and
tho crops look very badly. SoLttlerainbasfalleii
that the littlo stream near Santa Fe is dried up.
Tho arrival of the merchant trains enlivened tho
country a little, and for awhile all was bustle and
confusion. Since tho norelty hu worn off, things
hare presented a more quiet appearance, and wtT*
it not for the political excitement, the place and
people would present the same appearance they
nave always done at this season of the year.
Tho contest for delegate to Congress groin
warmer and warmer as- the time approaches to
make tho selection. Baird’s friends art very
sanguine and so are Otero’s—each asserting that
their favorite will be elected- Either or them
will make a very good representative for tht
country.
Sumner, a soldier in the army, o whose oon*
viedon and sentence I told yon in my last, was
hung at Taos on the 17th. The prospect os im
mediate death made but little impression upon
him.
At a public meeting on the 30th Jaly, it seems
tho Democracy passed a series of resolutions ex
pressive of their feelings respecting a gold snuff*
box presented to Governor Meriwether, in Wash
ington city, as a tribute of respect for the faithfe!
discharge of hisdntic3 as Gorcrnorof New Mexioe.
They disavow having had any knowledge of stub
intention, and say that nothing would be morn
repugnant to their feelings, £ .nd that it waa grati
fying to them that he left the country when bedld*
The new Governor has not arrived yet, hut U
looked for overy mail Hon. W. M. Davis isetftt
ac'ing as Governor. He intends oomlsg away i#
October next. . .

Indian depredations are still the order of the
iUv. Col. Bonneville’s command have had enough
to'do recently, and their success has been very
unexpected. Col. Miles and Capt. Ewell attached
the Coyatara Indians, and killed forty-on* and
took forty-five prisoners. The corn-fields ot tfie
Indians were destroyed and twenty-five fine hones
captured—in addition, a Mexican captive was re
covered. Seven of the troops were wonnded, as
also Lieutenants Steen and Davis. Thus much for
the Gila expedition If all tho others were as
skilfully managed, w,e less of tit*
troubles attendant upon these visits of the Indium
to the several neighborhoods and unprotected
towns.
Greater mail facllUi99 for the interior ortheTK*
ritory are asked for, sod should undoubtedly W
granted to them. ,
The mining fever is still as high as ever, and u
soon as both the companies are enabled to nee the
machinery they are now erecting, yon my
to hear of results that will startle those of os reel

the New School Presbyterian church wOJ b*
