ColumArzi? is often made nowadays of
'the lack interest or Originality and the
wonderful sameness of modern works of
fiction; and from this the deduction Is
made that great novelisteind original
genius are rarer than they were in former
times, and that material for authors is
about exkausted. 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.

TUE NEW. WAR SCIIEME,
The Republican State Convention will
meet the day-after to-morrow. 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. Nations, the
same" as individual's, frequently yield a
matter indispute rather than I suffer per
plexity from a 'continuance of contro.
versy. But few individuals, and no first.
class nations, ever yield a point of honor.

of manufacturers in the scale as a fair
balatee to fhe liadonal honor and the
lives of tens of thousands of men who
would necessailly fall in such a struggle,
betrays a shocking deficiency of moral
sentiments. Besides,
.Iwho can tell that
the war would be simply a naval one?
When our late war broke out, it was pre
dicted even by eminent statesmen that it
would be ended in ninety days. But what a
fearful range it took, beyond the expecta
tion of leaders on both sides I A. war
with England might reput this experi
ence to the disappointment of our present
clamorers. Moreover, who can tell,
that while a war with England might
operate to stop commerce between this
and that country, it might not serve to
quicken and enlarge the manufacturing
. industry of France, Belgium and. - other
_of the, continental countries of Europe
- seriously to our ultimate cost? •
We trust, therefore, in view of all the
considerations involved in the case, that
the 'Republican State Convention will re
frain entirely from touching this question.
The mote thoughtful members of the
party will not be bound by detnagogoical
action on its part, if it shall be unfortu
nately betrayed into any. The masses
of the party have an unslittiZen confi
dence in the wisdom and patriotism of
the national administration, and are con
tent to leave the -negotiation respecting
these Alabamalclaims in the hands of the
President and his constitutional advisers.
The Monumental Association has finally
arrived at a favorite starting place' with
the members, after wastipg several months
in the travel, and decided to locate the
proposed monument in the Allegheny
Cemetery. No more unwise selection
could have been made, and , none could
have excited such universal dissatisfaction.
The Cemetery is not the proper place for
the public monument, - and the commis
sioners might as well, and with as much
reason and propriety, have located it in
the private grounds of some one of our
wealthy citizens, where, by special
privilege or favoritism, those who
willingly contributed their moneys to the
project could occasionally enjoy an op
portunity of having a sight at its proud
proportions. The peOple who united to
discharge the patriotic: and reverential
duty of erecting a marble shaft to com
memorate the deeds and darings of the
fallen soldiers of Allegheny coring-, at
the inception of the project cared not to in
quire when or where it should be erected.
They reposed large cOnfidence in the la
diei having the management, who fairly
and fully represent the patriotic classes,
and we never could believe, no matter
what action the Commissioners may take,
that this confidence was unworthily be
stowed. • ,
But we respectfully submit that an er
ror has been made in selecting the Ceme
tery site, and the small army of men,
women and children, who contributed to
the object, have opiniOns on the subject
which should be heeded and respected by
the Commissioners. Publia sentiment is
divided as to other localities, lfut there is
a popular and decided. opposition to the
propardtkm to 'lock up, in•a quiet church
yard, several miles from the heart'of the
city, petty monument,-whose greatest
mission is to tell the world -in its silent
eloquence how our people revere the mem
ory Of their battle`-slain heroes. As well

Reacalniscenee of Professor Mitchel.
President Tuttle, of Wabash College,
contributes to the Cincinnati Gazette the
following interesting reminiscence of Prof.
0. M. Mitchel:
The date of an incident tonnected•with
Professor Mitchel I cannot state for want
of a newspaper file, but suppose it to have
been in the winter of 1842-3, when the
city of Cincinnati was almost bankrupted
by the hard times. As a specimen of the,
season, I rcollect the fact that two mem
tiers of a wholesale firm on Pearl street :
traveledover Indiana and Illinois several
weeks in the endeavor to collect some
portion.of notes amounting to one hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars.- In six
weeks the two men collected only nine
hundred dollars! This was in the spring
of 1848. About that time, as I supposed,
occurred the great bank mob of Cincinnati
It was a fearful sight to,see maddened men
women, and even children, engaged in,
the work of destruction. Several banks
that had been "run on" and failed were
gutted. The German people were said
to be great losers by these failures, and
were furious in their work. As I now
remember, several banks on Main, be
tween Third and Fourth, were thus:
broken open and robbed. The Franklin
and Lafayette Banks expected to be at
tacked and'were said to be thorougly pre--
pared to resist. . The whole scene was
most disgraceful to financiers, that
there should be any occasion for the
mob, and to the authorities of the city,
that it should be possible for a few hun
dred men, in open daylight, to dd what
was there done that day. .
It was while the mob was engaged in
the work of destruction that my attention
was directed to a noise up the street, and
which was suddenly explained by the ap-
pearance of a company of soldiers under
the lead of Professor Mitchell. With
fixed bayonets and at a rapid pace the
soldiers, cleared a track through - the mob,
which at first scattered, and then closed
up as thickly as eVer. Mitchel wheeled
his company and walked back again. My
impression -is that this time he ordered
his men to fire, which they did with blank
cartridges. By this time the mob, finding
the place and bitsineEs too warm, fled.
The professor that i day looked as brave as
a lion, but, as I thOught," a little pomp
ons. Certainly he did his work as
thoroughly and rapidly as he afterward
did in his celebrated raid into the very
heart of the rebellion.
No SOONER did It become manifest that
the importation of sofk coal into Philadel
phia had begun, seriously and upon a
large scale, than there were mysterious
symptoms of terminating the strike and
suspension in the nnthracite regions, and
by this time it is believed that work has
been resumed in the Schuylkill district
If they had held out three weeks longer,
half the industrial works in Philadelphia
would have completed arrangements for
laying in a season's supply of bituminous
coal. Even as it is we presume that
many manufacturers who have begun the
use of. :that coal will continue on with it,
and not go back to anthracite. The peo
ple of Philadelphia have about bad their
1111 of these strikes and suspensions, and
are now so thoroughly out of patinae&
with the entire anthracite interest that
there can be no sort'of dot that the une
of soft coal here will becotne permanent
to some extent.=—.phifa. Gazette. .1
