Jhiffltefa Civilization*
{From the London Times, Maroh 8. 1
On Saturday last, at the Durham Assizes,
Matthew Atkinson was ooDvtqted of the murder or
Ills wife, and the unexampled olroumataaoes of the
©rime can hardly, we presume, have yet escaped
the reoolleotlos of the pa olio. The murderer was a
Durham pitman, living at a place called the Speh,
near WJnlaton, a spot which it is desirable to Iden
tify with some minuteness, as no other district' la
’the kingdom would care to have the credit of such
-a story as we are about to tell. Pitmen are a rough
set in moßt places, hut there are none, we trust,
'who resemble those of the Spen. Atkinson, on the
17th of last September, left his home, about 10
'O’clock In the morning, to go to a shooting*mateh&t
% neighboring pit. He web accompanied by two
nephews, both mere lads, who, after spending the
tiayat the match, came home with Mm at n o'clock
at eight. He was then intoxicated, Indeed “ very
' drunk, 1 ’ but he could walk and talk and put out
his strength. When he got to his own house he had
to rattle at the door for a minute or two before his
wife came to open It for him. and when she did so
he found the fire out and no supper ready. This en
raged him,and as he and Ms wire had long been living
on bad terms his anger soon burst Into a blaze. Tne
poor woman, when he presently jumped up to strike
'her, ran out of the house, closed the door after her,
ana tried to effect her escape. She' did, Indeed, ac
'fcuaJly get as far as the door of a neighbor named
Anderson, hut her husband pursued her, caught her
on Anderson’s threshold, and after giving her a
heavy blow in the face dragged her back home.
Then he began to kill her, a work on which he spent
about an hour and a half. He beat her with the
poker, the tongs, the fire*shovei, and a sweeping*
brush. The shovel he broke over her head, and the'
tongs end poker he bent with the violence of his
Mows. Once, in the middle of the business, he
went out of the house for about twenty
cMnutes, returned, acd fell to work again. At last
the deed was Cone, and then he seemed rather sorry
forit, having perhaps worked himself sober; but
his grief did not prevent him from sitting down by
the bed on which the body lay and smoking a pipe,
an entertainment in which his neighbor Anderson
quietly jolted him.
These, however, strange to say. are not the most
ravoltln&featureB of the case Horrifying as they
Are they are actually less calculated to kindle in
dignation than those still to be detailed. The pit
men mustered pretty thickly at the Spen, There
was a little cold yof them. We hear their houses
spoken of as the row,” and a dozen men and wo
men come before us in the scene. Yet. m ail this
Dumber of these strong men there was not one who
•dared to lift his arm in defence of tnis poor woman.
It was not that they were ignorant of what was go*
ing on, for the whole place was astir. It was not
that they held'Hie cheap or thought lightly of mur
der. They held baok irom sheer cowardice. At
kinson" threatened them. He declared that “he
would shoot man or woman,' beast, (led, or
•devil, that interfered,” and so they let him go
on. Or e mac—it is hts own evidence that we quote
—heard Atkinson “ start to thrasu his wife.” Then
there was a “jingling of flre-irocsthen a lull;
then the sound of biuWß again; then the woman
•Cried “ Oh!” a few times, and so, continues the wit
ness, “ X went out to my brother to tell him what
Atkinson was doing.” Another man “looked
through the upstairs window and hearo him thrash
ing her and swearing he would kill her.” “ This,”
" he adds, 1“ continued very near an hour,” and*he
Seeeds to say, “After thrashing her a long
e he came out and went into Bella Hall’s. I
thought it teas done * and 1 went to bed again.”
A third man actual!} went into the house
while the murder was going on, saw blows In
flicted, and heard the poor woman cry out, “Oh
dear, Mat, I’m not dead ytti” He cried
“ Shame I” he 88ys, on the murderer, and tried to
paoiiy hint and keep him «>< wa ; out thou he tells us
that Ms, wpe was afraid that Atkinson would hurt
him, and eo he “sate awhile and then went out”
Two others wemin together and found the mur
derer sitting on the floi>r, Wita bis wl e lying across
his leg and the tongs ready to hts hand. They saw '
him.tske the tongs and smite her, when one tdld
the other to go and take them away from him. But
Atkinson " ordered them nut < f the house,” and on
his promise that be would “let her alone” they
.wentt out, when he followed them to the door, .
threatened to shoot them if they interfered agaia,
and resumed Ms occupation
We do not know what foreigners may think of this - '
story;tout we inmt say, for the create of EauUsu
men, that we believe the like of it was never re
ported before. Here are a number of big, sturdy
men—seven actually gave evidence on the trial
—Who allow a woman to be killed by Inches
before their eyes Without during to stay the
arm of the murderer He toils them that he
will - kill them too if they come near hluo, agd
they stand aloof. The judge reflated iu strong
language on the “craven spirit” which had per
mitted this Outrage, and on the ‘ w&at of manli
ness” which “so many persona” had exhibited.
That the poor woman’s life 1 could have been
saved: by. the least de&ioastratiou, of courage or
spirit is as clear as postlole, yet these men did not
•dare do even In a body what any policeman
would not hesitate to do single handed any day of
his life. It was but closing with a frantic
drunkard, and the thing was dune; but the mur
derer was allowed to go on for au hopr aod a half
till he had finished his work, become a little peni
tent, and “very civil,” We have heard of some
Snob things in Ireland, but there the connivance
was either the expression of secret sympathies or'
-the resultgof organized terrorism. We never heard
of a man beating his wife topjaacsin an Irish vil- -
lege while Tils next’neighbors looked On without
daring to Interfere. .We trust we may never again
hear of such a thing In Ea«lacct, and we should
much like to'know whether, in the six months that
have elapsed since this murder the pitmen of the
Spen have been brought to auy sense of their con
dnot by those who should instruct them. Are there
any agencies through which tho.population can he
led tovome conviction of their duties, or taught to
Teel some shame for thelrtoefaulcl The spectacle
presented by such a story is not pleasant to look
upon, but so.me improvement we hope may ultimate
ly result from the exposure

TBB TAX UPOJf DIVIDBKPS BUB THB CITY BY PAS
BXNGBB BAILWAY COHPABIBS TO BB UPON SUCH
DIVIDENDS BBCLAEKD UPON THB PAID-IN AND
NOT UPON THB NOMINAL CAPITAL,
The Citizens’ Fas* eager Hallway Company ra The
City. Certificate from Nisi Prime. Opinion by Thomp
son, J, We see no good reason for differing from the
Company in regard te their reports of stock-earning di
vidends, made to the Auditor, General, for the years
18(0, "61, ’<s2, and ’63. It is not alleged that they were
made in mistake, and we ought to hold them bound by
them, and not invoJve ourtelves in discussions about
matters more likely to disguise than to reveal the truth.
In these reports the capital stock paid in is stated at
$192. 160, and the aggregate of dividends on that & one is
reported In each year. It is the tax due the city on the
dividends for these years that the city is seeking to re
.cover -Wbat better evidence could we have than ‘the
official statement of the company itself? Nor do I see
how, If the truth was stated in thet e reports, as, doubt
less, It was, that dividends could have been made
and paid otherwise than to paid stock. We-take this
amount of paid stock as by the company and
the amount of the dividends declared on them as a just
be sis on w hick the right of thecity may rest to calcu
late her c?aim. It is true the authorized capita* stock
was $5OO. GQo. The company reported only $192,750
taken and paid for. Now-they seek to apply the diri-’
dends.to the nominal stock over that amount. All we
have* to aay i» that we will not at present indulge‘teem
in this method of getting rid of tnelr sworn omri&l re
port* -and at the’ssme time the effect of them, viz:'the
liability io payment of the tax on their dividends la
this, particular esse we feel sure the law meant, iust
what ihe company thought it did, that dividends were
due to .capital* and noi to mere moonshine.' If the v
dividtnds wi re distributable tohnpald stoek, thevoid
psny misht forever prevent the city from recovering a
dollar of tax, by increasing the stock, as they have the
power* and t&n» keep the dividends owing to the large
amount of nominal stock always'under six percents
We are not obh*ed<to hold am »ueh position under the

without producing oil in paying quantities, and all that
has been obtained so far has been the celebrated Amber
Oil. wbleh. in its crade state, is so pore that It Is used

sellingreadily at's22psr"bairel.
