Until a practieal smoke consumer is in . genand use, Pitts burgh cannot be a beautiful city, simply bec use tleanliness is one of the essen tials of beauty; but there is no evident necessity for more ugliness than we al ready possess,'_ so that perhaps there is a possibility of less.

In former times, but comparatively few men wrote who did not have something to write about; now it is the other way; then there were few books, but they generally had Elomething in them; now there are as many, peihaps more, books of ,sterling worth; but they are so mixed nfi in the sea of trash that a sharp and critical eye is often necessary • to detect them. A novel novel is apt to be lost in the deep waters of utterly abominable fiction, but, if it be discovered and rescued, it is as sure of success now as it ever would have been. And as to material for writers being exhausted, al though the saying is already trite, it is eminently absurd, and will present itself in that light when we reflect that every human belng, every little boy of the streets, even, has a history, which con tains incidents of thrilling interest, of touching pathos or of startling adventure in sufficient number to furnish a million of poets •and novelists with themes, if they only have the tact to excavate them successfully and the genius to recognize them when found. Every street and every village is alive with untold histories; but although every street , and yilla,ge is also alive vtith book raakers, ,there are not very many m're real au thors in this age than in any former one. The Rizepxs and Drcagssis, the Low- Eras and Bnownmos are never heard to complain of any exhattstion in the mines of material for their works; but it is only to himkelf that every man can be a Mex . ., Eris or 'a LowELL. WE are surprised to note , a revival in several journals throughout the country, of the old outcry against inflict ing capital, punishment upon murderesses. We had thought this was a thoroughly ex• ploded sentimentalism. The crime of a woman is as much a crime as if it were done by a man, and should receive a like reward. How often Is a similar remark made concerning female labor by the very persons who cry loudest if it becomes ne cessary in any place to hang a woman. We should not wonder if Mrs. Sreavolv and a few other strong minds among Yet fellow work women, should stoutly maintain the right of a woman to hang if they commit a crime heinous enough to require that pun ishment under the law. It is not from the strong, but from the weak, that the op position comes. The outcries against Mrs. Burman's execution came mainly from persons who believed her to be guilty, - who were anxious for the "legal murder" of the other conspirators, who thirsted for the blood of jarratesoN Devil, but because Mrs. Suanarr was a woman they objected to her execution. Berne of . the most frightful crimes, some of the most glaring atrocities recorded on the page of history, hive been the work &Women. If a dog Mills a sheep we do not wait to inquire concerning the sex of the dog, we proceed without that to punish the offender. And with man it should be the tame. If a crime of • any .nature, re. quiring legal punishment, be committed; the sex of the perpetrator should not be allowed to in any way , influence the de cision as to what the punishment is to be. If it were right to hang Louts. Luta for the murder of his numerous wives, it was morally jirst as right to hang *rt. GBXRDER for the murder Of her numerous victims. We can respect a man who ob jects altogether to capital puniahment, but we have 'a mostthorortgh contempt forthe one• who believes that murderers should be killed, but indulges in mawkish senti mentality concerning the murderesses. et 'back to the the; nominating states and Iowa: bl tcan..rhitedel Oilcan—Columbus . blican —Bangor.. . tic.

It is urged from some quarters decidedly influential, as well as• from some quarters lof no in fit:lmm at all, that this hod)/ ought to take strong grounde,in favor of enforcing what is known as the Alabatha claims against Great Britain; that IS,•Q.he de mands the Gove meat of the United States has m de, in"behalf of certain of its citizens, for spoliation upon their commerce inflicted durini, the late .rebellion by Confederate cruisers, fitted out in British ports. Various rind incon sistent reasons arc given for' insisting upon this line of policy, as, • : e 1. That Great Britain hass tubbornly refused to acknowledge her wrong in the matter, and to make paration. Every man of sense and reflection in this country knows thisatatement to be totally false. The veryessence of the treaty negotiated In behalf of our governiient by M.r. REvaneir I.Tormsoo . was an lIC , knowledgment on the part of the British tlt Crown that wrong had been b fl icted on ,our citizens, and t the damages, when duly ascertained, ould be paid. It is now known that a one time the Senate at Wallington w as nearly or unite unani mona in favor of a ratification of the treaty. By • some , means, I 1 s t yet de ( veloped, a sudden change w wrought in the views and purposes of \ thrtSenators, and t e treaty wee rejected. Mr. SUMNER set up the prepoSterous pre tence that Great B item was not only answerable for the juries actually in flicted upon our co merce, bUt for the full cost of the real r hypoihetic pro longation of the wa consevent upon the depredation of the rebel .cruisers. If he should urge that point, nan anala gons suit between private individuals, before any Massachusetts tOnnal, he would be laughed out of court.l '- 2. That a war-cry being always popu lar, It would answer an excellent party end to raise it now on this qt!estion, es pecially as an old and apparently irrad feeble prejudice exists among a large proportiOn of our population against the mother country. These people ,forget that the country iii toiday ridged with the graves of men fallen In a great war; that the tears of hundr ed s of thousands of widows' and fatherleea children are not yet dried; and that the nation staggers under the weight , of an enormous debt, the legacy of the strife. a. That the serious manacle of a war with Elreat Britain would ,draw to the RePdblican party much,,if. not all, of the Catholic Irish voters. When It comes to cbarlatanry of that so,rt, the Bemocratic heads always can and will beat the Repub lienn chiefe at leaSt t in the proportion of ten to ono. Besides, It la rrianifest that if the Irish should•be drawn to us by such an expedient, the English, Scotch'and Welsh voters would be repelled..; 4.. That byla firm front, such as it is proposed to foim, the British Govern:: menttioulla be frightened into Yielding to the broadid: demands for payment that might!' be mkle upon it.
