He says: A man. eTen with undoubted honesty and worth, unless possessed of a large stock ot political information, is not quaiiued to take a seat in. the assembly. Too many questions, of which he will not possess the necessary information to judge accurately, witl come up before him . and dishouest demagogues, with selfish personal designs, will be certain to lead him into error. The people require for their representatives men who have been in the haUt of debate, of examining irnpor taut questions, and oi asserting and defend ing their opinions in public assemblies. Cookoo membership and silent voting, how ever correct, will not answer there. Stern and masterly debate will be the order of the day. and only those who can meet and breast such contentions should be looked upon us tit and proper persons for a seat in the Con vention. Tne very best ability should be se lected for the office. "Wisdom, sagacity and statesmanship" will all be called into requi sition, and for this purpose “the office should seek the man and not the man ths office.” The writer his communication by suggesting the names of A. H. Hausell, Jaa. L. Seward, and B. B. Moore as possessing the necessary qualifications to fit them to represent Tuomas couuty in the convention Every good citizen must approve the stan dard oi qualifications for representative sug gested by the writer. The convention which is to reorganize our State government, will be no place lor political partizans, trimmers and demagogues. A body upon which w ill devolve the important and responsible duty ot remodeling and adapting our constitution and laws to the changed condition of affairs, should be composed of our wisest, purest, most patriotic citizens, who. with a full ap preciation of the important trust confided to them, would be uniniluenced by any of the selfish motives which too often warp the judgment and influence the actions of the professional politician. It has been the too just reproach of our country, that our ablest and best men unwilling to mingle in the ignoble strife lor office and to descend to the unworthy arts of the demagogue, have for years past withdrawn themselves from public life, leaving the high pre rogatives ot statesmanship to be exercised in too large a degree by ignorant, unprinci pled and corrupt political adveuturers and demagogues. To tins fact has been ascribed much of the discord, strife and sectional alienation which finally culminated in the fratricidal war through which we have just passed. If this be true, the evil has been chared by the nation at large—by those who stood afoot, thus repudiating their patriotic obligations, as w ell as by those who from motives of personal ambition, thiust them selves in the places of better men, and as sumed duties which they were not qualified to discharge. The circumstances in which we find ourselves demand a change, and we sincerely hope and trust the tearful ordeal through which we have passed, with its oth er teachings, will have served to convince our people that in a representative govern ment political safety is in the wisdom, patri otism and virtue of those entrusted with the exetcise of political power. When the con stituencies of the country recognize and act upon this principle, the day G s demagogue ism and political corruption will have pass ed, “Wisdom, Justice and Monderaiion” will rule in our State and national councils and peace and prosperity bless the land. Gem. Howell Cobb and Ex-Gov. Brown Gen. Cobb is at present spending a few days in Augusia, in the enjoyment oi good health. The Chronicle says: In a conversation with the General, he ex pressed a great desire to have ail matters now in agitation settled at oucc ; and wish ed most heartily to see Georgia once more resuming her former position in the Union. The issues which have lately convulsed this country he considers forever disposed of Slavery he says can never be resuscitated in any shape. He thinks it best that all submit promptly and willingly to the United Stales authorities; that matters which have passed should be numbered among the things that were ; and should not be drugged into the present, thereby creating discord, and tram meling the movements of those who are doing all they can to settle affairs. Ex-Gov. Brown was in Atlanta a few days since, having entirely recovered from his late illness. The Chronicle says he speaks hopefully of the future, and th'mks it would be well for the Convention to declare slavery at an end in Georgia withou* excitement or discussion. He also says that the people of Northern Georgia are anxious for an oppor tunity to take the oath of amnesty and will ■mura conservative men to the Convention, the question of secession as set v.

Foarws Coxxkrce of New York. —The compilation of the returns of the commerce of New York, in the Journal of Commerce, furnishes some items of interest. The total amount entered at the Custom House for the year ending June 30, was $161,779,273, against $234,967,<M5 for 1863—64. The amount withdrawn from the Government warehouse this year was $76, 267,868,agaiust $63,096,973 withdrawn for 1863-64. There is, therefore, a decrease of $73,187,772 in the imports of 1864-65. If the decrease at other ports is in a cor responding ratio, the total for the whole country will show a decline of above SIOO,- 000.000 The percentage of difference is greatest in dry goods, but the falljjjg off is greater than was anticipated in general mer chandise. The receipts for customs have ivlauvely increased, owing to the fact that a larger proportion of the imports have been thrown on the market this year L _ The reve nue from customs for the fiscal year is $61,- 169,479.80, collected on a dutiable value of $143,000,000. The total exports for the year amount to $242,462,044, an increase over that of 1803-4 of $15,262,048. Death of Jpdoe A. E. Cochran. —The Macon Telegraph announces the death of Hon. A. E. Cochran, which took place on the 25th ult. The deceased was an able jurist and accomplished gentleman. He was for several years a Judge of the Superior Court, and served several sessions in the State Legislature in which boay he exerted great influence. He was elected President of the Macon and Brunswick Railroad soon after the inception of the enterprise, Id which position he displayed rare administrative ability. Judge C. was well known through out the State, and was universally respected. The State Railroad.— The Augusta.Con stitutionalist is authoritatively advised that the State Railroad, from Atlanta to Chatta nooga, will be held by the United States military authorities so long as it may be ne cessary for a military force to remain in Georgia. JThe operations of the line will, of course, be controlled by the government military superintendent of railroads, who will, without doubt, make all the appoint ments necessary to work the road. BLtND Tosr.—Blind Tom, the young negro musician, has been returned to his former master, General Bethune, whose contract with the boy’s parents has thus beeu recog nized by the decision of Judge Woodruff, as being in accordance with law.

Extraordinary Development — A Body Discover ed in a Barrel—the Body Jdentijied as that of a well biown Resident of Philadelphia. A most astounding and diabolical transac tion was brought to light yesterday morning, at the store room of a' first class druggist iu this city. Tlie mind recoils in horror when contemplating the magnitude of the outrage, and a shudder creeps over the frame whjje we write of it. As yet, for obvious reasons, the full particulars (or at least so much thereof as has been brought to light by tbe energy ot Capt. G. Willekins, acting Provost Marshal of the Sixth district,) must be withheld. The high character and standing oi the druggist referred to would seem to place him beyond all suspicion of guilt in the matter, either as principal or accessory, and we should dislike to publish anything which might sully his fair Dante. This much by way of preface. We are permitted to make' public the follow ing : About the 15th of last month the house in question received a large stock of goods from Philadelphia; by a steumer which discharged : at Rocketts, among which were several liar rels bound with iron hoops, and containing oils of different kinds. The articles were brought up to the drug store and placed, as is customary, in the cellar. Tuere was no circumstance at the time to cause the slightest suspicion that anything extraordinary had occurred. About u Week ago, however, one of the clerks of tlie estab iishmeut bod occasion to go into the cellar, when lie discovered the existence of a most offensive odor. The latter was so strong that he suspended the business which carried him there, and made diligent search for the body which seemed to taint the atmosphere. His search, however, proved fruitless, and he returned in a few minutes to the store, where, meeting the proprietor, be stated his suspicions. Another search was then insti tuted, but, like the former, it resulted in nothing. Yesterday, however, an order from the country was received, which rendered it ne cessary to open one of the barrels then in the cellar. The porter was accordingly sent for it, and it was soon hoisted to the first floor. The top hoops were knocked off, and head removed, when, lo ! the mystery of the offensive odor was solved. Tbe barrel or IcHak was discovered to contain |k body, more foan half of which had become a liquid mass! Let us draw a veil over the sickening scene, sor attempt to portray the horror of the ern wlm ffu'chly gathered around.

For the same rea son the name cl the druggist ought to be and will be for the present withheld. The officer in charge has laid a train by which the whole mystery will be solved. At the earliest mo ment we w.UI lay before our readers the full particulars of this exfrnoidiuary affair.— Richmond Commercial Bnlietih, July 20- In former years, the individual wbo3e body was discovered In tlie Philadelphia barrel resided bMitedty In the frame building os fit.

The oftkt Prc« of the South. Some thoughtless persons at tlie South seem to overlook the accepted tact that the South ern Confederacy is extinct; and because, for sooth, an editor who has heretofore enter tained secession sentiments chooses to write loyal editorials, he is denounced us a toady. | So far as the editors of this paper are cou | ccmed, we do not kunw, of our ptrsoual i knowledge, that any charges of this kind | have been preferred against us; hut we have I frequently heard the remark made in public, ! that the Press of the South was entirely too i subservient. This is a gross libel upon the “fourth estate, ’ and we feel it to be our iin : perativeduty to inveigh against sucli an uu i just insinuation. The duty of the press ot the .South is too plain to be misunderstood. Most,, if not all of the journals in jrhat was form erly known as tlie “Southern Confederacy,” yielded a cordial support to that Provisional Government, while it maintained a belliger ent attitude, and we do not hesitate to say that if the advice of the Press had been pro perly heeded, the Southern Confederacy to day, would have been an J'uif accout/ili. But now that we have tailed to obtain the object for which we were contending, to expect the Southern press to express sentiments disloyal I to the Government under which we live! is more than any reasonable or sensible man could exact. The position of this paper— aud we presume that otheis ot our cotempo r.dies occupy the same ground—is, that it is the duty of the' people of the South, now that they have been compelled to yield to the “stern logic of events," to lend a cheer ful support to all measures which will con tribute to restore law and order, and pro mote the general inlerest of the Government under which we live. It is idle to talk about the justice of the cause lor which we fought. VVc submitted the whole question to the ur bilrnmcut of the svyord, and have been de feated. As honorable men, it is now our duty to give a cordial suppoit to the Govern ment of which wu are citizens. To do otherwise would be the height of folly. But while the press of the Soutli yield a coidial support to the Govcrnmeut, it is not more subservient than it is -compelled to he, uuder the circumstances, The suppression of several leading Southern journals is now fresh in our minds, aiM ior any injudicious expression, calculated to engender distrust in the General Government, au editor sub jects himself to imprisonment, aud his pa per to lie suppressed. How important, then, uside from considerations of loyalty to the Government, it is for au editor to be guarded in his expressions, and not in a thoughtless hour, subject himself to the penalties of se dition. While we fight the radicals at the Nori h and oppose the doctrine of negro equal ity with all the energy of our nature, at the same time wc must yield our support to the administration of President Johnson in all measures tending to promote the general wel fare of the country ut large. The Govern ment will not tolerate a newspaper which expresses sentiments in antagonism with loyalty to the L T uion, and calculated to ctir Up feelings of bitterness. The duties of con ducting a daily newspaper in tin se perilous times, are doubly responsible. While on the one hand an editor must be true to the Union, at the same time, in being thus, he subjects himself to animadversion upon the part of u few ultra men, who have not the capacity to appreciate the “new order of things," and are constantly charging him with “toadyism.” The imputation is groundless, aud the men who utlerit are libellers. The press has a high and holy miss'on to perform, and should g) forward in the discharge of its duty “un awed by influence aud uubribed by gain."— Atlanta New Era. Mivf'i'lluii) . [From th* late Euglteti Paper*.[ AfcIUAL NAVIGATION. A Paris correspondent writes : The rerial vessel invented by M. Dclainerue bids lair to realize the anticipations we were led to en tertain as to the successful application of the vertical helm in controlling the currents of wind by which the courses ot balloons have hitherto beeu guided. The vessels rose to a height of 1,500 yards, and then took a course due South. M. Delamarne, who acted as helmsman, steered the vessel in an opposite direction, aud it accordingly sailed direct for Vincennes. To prove her obedience to the helm, M. Delamarne then took a northerly route. At the request of the passengers, without touching tbe safety-valve, and simp ly by Using the helm, ho descended near Nu gent", and floated for some time so close to the earth that the passengers spoke with some of the people who had assembled on the banks of the Marae to witness this strange sight. The vessel then rose to tbe height of 4,500 yards, aud, although caught by two currents ot air, M. Dela marne by his management of the helm pre vented the rotary mutton usually experienc ed iu all balloon traveling. At twenty min utes past seven the passengers witnessed u glorious sunset, the uiaguidcent effect of which in cloudland appears to have defied all attempt at description. At eight they were sailing over Choisy, when the uir be came so rarified that they lowered tlie ves sel and sailed toward L.iuitnc, when they lost themselves in cloud-luniks, aud the guide rope and some ballast were thrown out. Tbe vessel then rose still higher, and after a sail of an hour and a half in azure space, they decided on descending iu the neighborhood of Choisy, which M. Delamarne accomplish-, cd without the slightest difficulty, and his pusscugeis landed on terra firms as easily as if they had stepped out of nn express train. Two results are evident : By the hoi izoulul hel in placed in the stem of the vessel,-it as cends and descends as tlie helmsman pleases; uud by means of the helices placed at each side, combined with the action ot the helm, a huriz mial course is obtained. liNOI.ISU CUSTOMS TItIIOUOH KOKI.ION Ot.VSMIS. The Nazi.ine has the following remarks on one of our English customs: “Every Lou don house is inhabited by oue single family, aud as the outer doors are always shut, the knocks at the door, counted from within, in dicate the station in life of the person at the door; to give more or less knooks is an act of iusolcnce or degredallon. The milkman, sweep, beggar, the servants, kuock with oue siugle Knock, as it to say, ‘Allow me to come in.’ Two knocks denote the postman, tax-gather, &c., and st em to say. ‘lt is my business to enter this house.’ When three knocks are given, they indicate the muster of the house or a friend of the family, aud are given with an air of commaud, as if to say, ‘Open.’ Four knocks steadily given denote a person of- consequence, some aristocrat, arrived in a carriage. These four knocks may be supposed to express, ‘I intend to enter.’ He who gives four knocks, and, af ter a short pause, repeats them with a cer tain proud impetuosity, is decidedly either a milord or milady, or Indian nabod, a Rus sian prince, German hero, or Italian mar quis. These seem to say, ‘Open quickly ; I wish to honor you with a visit.’ ” TUB SWEDISH CXEBICAI.|MUttDKBER.

I thought, also, what none can deny, that very lew human beings pass to the other world in the course of nature, i. e.. when the powers of soul and body are worn out by age.

The Escaut, of Antwerp, relates an inci dent which occurred last weekjin the Zoolog ical Gardens or that town. Iu tin eveniug. one »>f the keepers, armed with a long whip, entered the large cage of the monkey tribe for the purpose of driving them to their re spective coinpaitinents. All the inmates scampered of to their cages with the excep tion of one of the oldest aud largest, which obstinately refused to come down from his perch, and on receiving a sharp lash wish the whip, it leaped on the keeper, got astride on his shoulders, aud began to scratch and kite him with great fury. Tire keeper beat the monkey with the handle of the whip, and would soon have got rid of him, had n it the other monkeys come to their companion's as sistance and joined in the attack. Thus a-- sailed, the man was obliged to cry out ior help, when several keepers hastened to the spot, aud on their approach the animals took to flight. The man, who was terribly scratched and bitten in twenty-three places, lost so 'much blood that be was obliged to keep his bed for two days. U'CUKISIIANUIISa TOC MAORI£S.

As the rainy season was coining on when the mail left, we expect to hear of mo»e commissariat troubles. The most shocking feature in the war is the way in which it is uncitilizing the Maories, The murde rof the un happy German missionary is pallhncd by the fact, whicn has come out since, that the natives believed a certain Homan Catholic priest, who h id several times been sequence beeu warm'd off to have been privately buuged; but the atrocious way in which they man gled M.

Sc.'uin at un Kugli.li Election. A CARNIVAL OF DEIMCCHEUV AND BIOT- The PailiumcDtury elections were attended ; with yin unusual amount of disorder and rioting We give a tew instances, to show how they manage such things in the mother country. Here is what happened in a towu called Chippenham, near Bristol : “During the remainder of the afternoon the polling booths were surrounded by in furiate mobs. A farmer named Croaker, re siding at Ash Hill Farm, was seized and knocked down, and very much beaten, and a policeman who went to his assistance shared the same lute. At about nine o'clock a large crowd attacked the Great Western Hotel and smashed nearly all the windows. One of the ringleaders was apprehended and conveyed to the police station, where the mob followed him, and after smashing sev eral windows with stones demanded his re lease,and with a view to conciliate the irrita ted mob, the man's name was taken and he was set at liberty. Almost simultaneously with this outbreak occurred two others.— The first took place in the Market place, in which several hundreds took part. They at tacked the Angel Hotel, kept by .Mr. Lawev, 'but that gentleman, assisted -by some of his waiters, adopted a rather injudicious method of keeping them at bay. From an upper room window they threw a large number of ginger beer bottles, &c., at them ; but this only exasperuted them the more, and when Mr. L'twes had discharged his whole stbek of bottles at them, they renewed the attack,and did not cease until every pane of glass (num bering 250) in front of the building was de stroyed. The wiuclow pages were broken,and some slight damage done to the furniture in the rooms. Having Satisfied themselves here tlie mob proceeded to the house of Mr. Jacob Phillips, (late Mayor), which adjoins the Au gel Hotel,and,after breaking th<- windows and the window frames, hurled large stones at the window shutters, breaking them into splinters. Stones were then showered into tne front rooms—large cliandaliers destroy ed, aud several valuable paintings. It is es timated that the damage done to Mr. Phil lips property alone will exceed £ IOO. Mr. F. Spencer, who occupied the adjoining house, fared no better. All tlie windows in the front rooms were demolished, aud a great quantity af valuable furniture. His loss will be about £3OO. After smashiug the wiudows ot Mr. Rich, butcher, nearly opposite, the mob broke into the place, and threw the whole of the meat that could be found into the street. The house of Di. Col borne was also attacked, and the doctor, who was said to be in a dying state, was obliged to have the assistance of his servants, who held boards over the bedroom window in order to prevent the missiles strikiug him. All the windows at the vicarage were broken, and the wanton wickedness ot the mob may be gathered from the tact that tlie gravestones were torn up from the church yards, and, after being shattered into fragments the pieces were flung through the wiudows at the vicarage. The borough only contains about twelve police officers, who acted most courageously under the circumstances, but they were utterly powerless, and some of ttiem received slight injuries from the stones. Upwards wfr 200 of the inhabitants were sworn in, as special constables. Later in th*e day orders were totted to close all public houses and beer-houses at ti o'clock. Tele grams were sent to Bristol and the metropo lis for the assistance of the miltiary. The total damage is estimated at from £2,000 to £3,000.” The nomination day at Carlisle witnessed the following extraordinary and outrageous soeue : “The nomination of candidates for the city took place on Tuesday. A similar scene of uproar, riot, and confusion lias seldom been witnessed iu the old Border city. The two Liberal candidates, Messrs .Lawson and Pot ter, and the Conservative candidate, Mr. Hodgson, were severally nominated. Mr. Lawson concluded his address amid a perleot shower jf missiles, accompanied with the most terrific bowlings. Mr. Potter exper ienced similar treatment at the hands of the mob, and he concluded his address amid a lusilade oi powder and unclean things. The riot, however, culminated on the appearance of the Conservative candidate. When Mr. Hodgson presented himself to the crowd the the uproar became so terrific as to threaten aerious consequences, Someone in the crowd discharged a pistol, and stones begin ning to supply the place of soot aDd ochre. &c., blood was drawn in several parts ot the crowd. The Mayor, after frequently retiring to the towu hall for mouicutary shelter, di rected tiie police to clear the space in front of the hustings. The police endeavored to do so without effect, aud the rioting contin ued, during which it was impossible for Mr. Hodgsou to obtaiu a hearing. The Mayor then called for a show of bauds, which he announced to be iu favor of Will;am Nicholson Hodoson and Edmond Potter. This announcement roused the ire ol.the multitude to the extremes! pitch, and the hustings was almost immediately cleared by missiles, the favor of the mob being show ered with particular aim at the Mayor, who, with the other gentlemen on the hustings, was covered with powder of all colors—blue, yellow, black, white aud green. The can didates were pitilessly assailed, heavy bags of whitiug and soot coming repeatedly in their faces, And but for the shelter of strong aud friendly umbrellas, it must have result ed iu serious personal injury. The usual vote of thauks was uot proposed, it being the first thought of every one to escape. The proceedings were throughout of the most riotous and unseemly character, and a constant shower of colored powder-bags, soot-bags, potatoes, rotion eggs and stale butchers’ offal being poured upon the candi dates aud their frieuds. The speeches were iu consequence cut short, all attempts at* dislodging the “roughs" being unsuccessful. Iu fact, it was the most disgraceful exhibi tion ever witnessed iu Cumberland.” Ot the proceedings iu the sams city next day we read the following: “The disgraceful conduct displayed by the mob on the previous day (says the Scots man) was again repeated on the polling-day (Wednesday), and some serious conse quences were the result, tlie police having to make several attacks upon the rioters with their batons. Mr. Potter, Mr. Lawson, and tlieir friends were on the hustings soon after four o’clock, and also some of Mr. Hodg son’s friends. They were received with a volley of powder, flour and soot, which was continued while they remained. One of tire most disgusting scenes occurred before the poll was declared, the immense crowd hav ing got excited to the utmost pitch. The assault upon those ou the hustings increased iu vigor aud terocity duriug the preceding, so that Mr. Potter was unable to make any' speech. The police were powerless. Mr. llodgson, who had just received a bag of soot iu the face, and presented the appear ance of a ‘nigger,’ came forward and re turned tbauks." In Sheffield the ordinary programme of of pelting candidates, smashing hustings aud battering policemen, was somewhat varied by an enlivening incident which the Sheffield Telegraph thus descrioes -. “Ou Wednesday night, at the conclusion of the first piece at the Theatre Royal, and just as the audience were coming out, a band of about two hundred ‘roughs,’ who hud been conspicuous during the day in raiding through the town, eaaujiushing to the front of the house, and tried to force au entrance. They were checked by the people who stood in the doorwgy, aud prevented their ingress. Mauy of them were armed with stones, with which they broke several panes of glass. Being disappointed in gaining admission to the theatre they uttacked t'.e Turt Taveru, at the corner ot Sycamore street, and destroyed a plate glass window. The desigu of this raiding expedition was ostensibly plunder, as a gentleman, who was coming out of the theatre, had bis watch aud pocket book ta ken, aud his hat destroyed. Assistance was speedily got from the Town Hall, and the band beat a retreat.” $ This appears to have been only the conclu sion of the day s entertainments, for the Sheffield Independent stales that the pro ceedings during the polling on Wednesday was of a “somewhat discreditable nature.” Somewhat discreditable, iudeed! Here is an account of them : “The mob increased very rapidly at ndon, and their disorderly proceedings forced the shopkeepers in Market-place, Angel-street and Hijrb-street, to close their places of busi ness. Several women and children were thrown down and bruised in these mad rushes, and the police, who were on duty near to the entrance of tlie Georgia Inn, seemed to be utterly powerless. About 2 o’clock the mob begun to maltreat every body of decent appearance who ventured to show' himself in the street. This led to a col lision with the police, and heavy blows were exchanged. Th" crowd then began to knock ot, aud crush every hat that they could get at. Persons wearing caps were sate, but a rigorous edict was passed that no hats should be allowed in the street, and it was put into execution forthwith. A large Dumber of hats were stolen, crushed, and throwu from side to side amidst tlie uproarious shoqjsof the drunken mob. Cab and omnibus drivers and their passengers were treated in the same manner, and if any resistance was made the mob scrupled not to quell it by severe mea sures. Several pet sous who offered no re sistance were kicked and' struck, and others who were more courageous were severely maltreated. This scene—one of the most disgraceful we have witnessed in the town-* continued unchecked until nearly 4 o’clock, and then a considerable number of police were sent iuto the crowd, and the “bonnet ting” ceased. A marc ruffiautly mob was scarcely ever congregated. Cheltenham was the scene of a shocking tragedy: “On Wednesday night, after the close of the poll, (which, it inav be remembered,was in tavor of Mr. Schreiner, tlie Conservative candidate), when the streets were full of ex citod people, a baud of music passed up the High street playing the time of ‘ The Bon net* of Blue,” blue living the colors adopted by the Conservative pariy in Cheltenham. A man named Lyiies was standing In the street and as the band passed him he shouted “Hurrah for the bonnets of yellow," (the color of the Liberals here). On this Glass (one of the voters for Mr. Scbreiber) made' some remurk to Lynct, who retorted by call ing out, “Berkeley for ever 1" saying he had beeu working hard for Col. Berkeley. Glass then drew from his pocket a four-barreled revolver, and presenting it at Lyoe, drew the trigger, and the charge of one of the barrels struck Lyne in the mouth.— Lynes immediately fell on his knees, ex claiming, “Good God! I’m shot. I shall die!” The whole affair was tlie work of a moment. The crowd of course got round Glass, and the pistol was takeu trom him. Three of the chambers were found to be loaded with powder and ball, and the fourth hod evidently just been discharged. Glass appeared very much excited, and when Lynes exclaimed, “I'm dying," as he did ou the way to his dispensary, where he was at once taken, Glass said, “No, no ; not so bad as that, I hope.” On Lynes being brought to the Cheltenham Dispensary he faint ed away. He had previously spoken of his “poor wile aud family,” and prayed to God to have mercy on him. On his wound being examined it was found to be of such a character as to leave little hope for the poor fellow, who died next morning." ’The Coroners jury found a verdict of “Willful Murder."

LYNCH LAW VS. COMMON LAW. (From the New Y ork Suu.j A melancholy instance of a resort to Lynch law, has recently occurred iu this city, which justifies as in reviewing the present condition of our common law, wall a view of determ ining whether a citizen cun obtain that s|)eedy justice in tlie courts which every individual aggrieved by another, is entitled to. A muu of wealth and position has had iu his employ two young men, who, for eight or nine years have honestly and faithfully served their principal. So well satisfied is the employer with their ability, that for several years he entrusted almost his entire business in their charge ; while he attended to the well paid duties connected with a public appointment in another place. Os course, so long as the employer could hire lire laber of these young Aer., he was entitled to the profits ot the business which he bad established, and could not reasonably find fault with their determi nation to leave his employment and set up in business tor themselves. The young men. however, decided to work tor themselves, aud accordingly hired an office,and enter into legitimate competition with their late em ployer. For some two years, only the aarne ol the employer has been known to custo mers, because the young men performed the work. It is not strange, therefore, that many customers ualuraliy gave their busi ness to the two young men, because they were personal acquaintances to differ ent pnrlies, who had never come iuto con tact with the principal of the old firm. Un der these circumstances the business of the former employer dwindles down to a merely nominal affair, imperfectly attended to by one green hand, while his principal gives his own attention to the more valuable public appointment. Angry at his loss ot business, and unwilling to improve it by ‘legitimate effort aud energy, tlie former employer takes every occasion to denounce the two young men who has left him as thieves and vil lains, hoping by such a course to prevent his former customers from patronizing the new firm. For many months the young men en dure the slanders and persecutions of their former employer, until at last one of them enraged at some new slander, approaches the author thereof and demauds a retraction loftthe calumny. The young man, knowing the superior physical sirengm of tlie person trorn whom ire demands an act of justice, prepares to defend himself from assault by carrying a pair of loaded pistols with him to the interview. Both parties lose their temper, aud daring the altercation, the former em ployer resorts to violence, aud is shot dead by the younger and weaker uiau. The use of deadly weapons under any sim ilar circumstances cannot be justified. The injury done to the youDg men might have been righted by an appeal to a court of jus tice, and there is no doubt that a suit for slander could have been instituted, and the defanter placed uuder bonds not to repeat the offence. This was the proper course to pursue ; by departing from it, and resorting to Lynch law, one victim has been made, and the young man is likely to expiate his crime by an ignominious death upon a scaffold.— Common charity will believe that itis offence was prompted more by tlie uncertainties of a legal mode of obtaining satisfaction for inju ries, than any criminal design of taking the life of his former employer. The young man doubtless reflected upon the position of af fairs. He was too poor to institute legal proceedings; was aware that wealth and position favored his former employer ; and that a protracted law suit, even if he succeeded in obtaining a righteous ver dict, would impoverish him during the law’s delay. He therefore resolves to obtain an act of justice by a more summary process, with the above unfortunate result. His rashness brings misery upon two families, and outrages the whole community by a scene of violence which the laws are intend ed to preveut. In view of the mode of pro cedure adopted in our courts of justice, it becomes important to inquire if a citizen is promptly and fairly protected by the com mon laws as they are at present administer edd. Is it not too frequently the case that an aggrieved suitor is prevented from obtain ing impartial justice, from his inability to pursue iu the Courts a wealthy antagonist ? Do not hundreds of rich and influential vil lains escape the merited punishment ol their crimes, because their victims nre unable to follow them through the tortuous paths of a suit at law ? If this be so, is it not high time that some remedy were devised to cut the Gordian kuots of legal red tape, for tlie purpose of more speedily obtaining the jus tice that is due to every man injured by one of his follow citizens? We want a few com mon sense courts, similar to tlie one presided over by Police Commissioner Acton. Jus tice, to be available, should lie prompt. Au Old Dog Luw Enforced. A Purls correspondent of the London Times » rites as f'dlows: A curious scene took place recently on the Boule vard Beaumarchais. A gentleman, an advocate, walk ing out, accompanied by his doe, an Italian Bray bound of great beauty, suddenly missed the animal, and, retracing his steps, overtook u man of decent ap pearance with the dog In disainrs. The thief had already removed the collar with the owner's name ana address, and was endeavoring to stifle the dog's cries. Being a man of great muscular power, the owner 90<m mastered the delinquent, aud then ofl’ered him the choice either of belug consigned to the police or of kneeling down In the street aud kissing the dog. The thief, after some little hesitation, chose the lat ter alternative, and performed the ceremony In the midst of the laughter and Jeers of the bystanders. Satisfaction being thus given, the owner was willing to allow the offender to depart in peace, but some sergeants-de-ville coming up insisted on taking him before the Commissary or Police of the quarter The gentleman accompanied the party to the office, and' when there explained to the Commissary that he had acted in virtue of an old law of the Burgundian Par liament, never yet abrogated, containing (Tit. X., cup. S, art V,J a disposition thus wonted: ••If any man has stolen a gravhound (.voVrahum,) or a seguaiavc (sef/ulium— a particular son of hound u-ed by tbc Gauls for bunting the boar,; or a lurcher (ixtrunculum,) we ordain that the guilty party be ouliged either to kiss the animal before the whole peo ple, or to pay live sols of gold to the master ot the dog, and two sols as fine." The Advocate c included by interceding for the cul prit. on the ground that he had satisfied the conditions of the law; but the commissary, recognising tbs man os an old offender, sent him to the Prefecture.
