FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 13,1873.
The Prevalence of Crime.
It is said Confucius, the Chinese
sage, spent the last three years of his
life mourning and lamenting
the vices bf the age. Had he lived
this period of downward progres
sion, he would have devoted a much
longer time to mourning and lament
ing if lie would attempt to do the
occasSori justice.
We know that distance, in point
of time as well as space, lends en
chantment to the view. We know,
too, that the present has generally to
bear a burden of vices, unknown to
the past, wheu seen through the
magic mist of years. Old men and
women from time “ whereof the me
mory of man runneth not to the con
trary,” have been ever ready and
anxious to tell the same old story—the
virtuous long ago and tho degener
ate present. But if history and ex
perience are faithful chroniclers of
events, it needs no ghost to toll us
that the world now is almost one vast
theatre of wickedness, and the inhabi
tants zealous dealers of death and
destruction upon all around.
Not content with public and legal
ized rascality, tho demon of evil en
ters the more private walks of life.
The sacerdotal robe is often used to
cover a mass of impurity. Example,
tee sensational pupe.s on Henry
Ward Bocoher. prime was never
move rife than now. Almost every
paper is filled with horrible accounts
of tho most cold-blooded murders.
The hands of the son aro stained
with the blood of a father. The
husband who vowed to love, cherish
and protect his wife, becomes her as
sassin, and vice versa. The victim
Of disappointed hopes, not thirsting
for \he blood of a fellow-being, with
his own hands lifts the portals of
eternity and ushors himself in, before
the devils are aware. Minor crimes
and misdemeanors aro keeping pace
with the greater ones.
This is truly ft sad state of affairs.
We try not to “ despair of tho Re
piUtc,*' but with the sacred records
of history as our criterion, wo some
times almost fear that this lamentable
condition is but the harbinger of our
fain. There must boa change for
the better w public and private virtue,
w* history will write this our epitaph
-*illiwn EtiiU
rr* Another Congressional scan
dal and disgrace is thus hinted at by
the WftsWngtoneoirerpomk'nt of tho
Cincinnati Commercial, which says:
** It is privately stated here that a
lawsuit wlnch has j unt boon-commenc
ed in the District Courts by tho es
tate of tho late cashier at' tho First
National Bank, against a corporation
known here as the Metropolitan Pav
*ing Company, will develop snore food
for scandal, so far as public officials
are concerned, than did the Credit
Mobilier suits instigated by MuComb.
The Btory goes that any number of
CongnaMncn, besides higher game,
had contracts from this concern and
deal nigs with the above bank in this
eonnoction, which will do anything
but add to their present reputations."
Columbus Fair. —Can it bo that
Columbus is to have no fair this year ?
And yet this seems to be tho conclu
sion at present. And why ? Simply
beosuse her city council refuse to
furnish the small sum of fivo thou
sand dollars. But it seems to ns
Chat the amount might be raised by
private subscription among her citl
sens. It is at least worth the effort.
From remarks itmde to us wo believe
that some would prefer this way of
raising the needed amount. Suppose
the city papers make the suggestion.
It will do no harm to give it a trial.
- a. .—i —• —
Tmi Enuuirkr,— Tho Columbus
Enquirer, in noticing our question ns
to what had become of it, inlimntcs
that the fault is with our postmaster.
Iu this it is wrong, m the postmaster
here is a clever awl competent offi
cial, and always turns over to us ail
mail matter coining to this office. It
has row been two weei-s siuce wo re
eeived tho lasi number of tho En

aof
Strangf.—lt is nnarcountable to
ns why aome people will persist in
buying imported hay, when they can
raise luxuriant olover at homo with a
email outlay of labor. If Hamilton
had a debating society, we would
submit the question to them. Our
farmers are busily engaged in fight
ing gram the most of the year, and
the balance of the time is partly en
gaged in studying up ways to pro
cure it in its cured state.
The Burning of Columbia.
The Columbus Sun and Times pub
lishes the following letter, which was
found in the streets of Columbia im
mediately after the army of Sherman
had left, and the origiual of which
has been preserved and can be shown
and substantiated:
My Dear Wife: I have no time for
particulars. We have had a glori
ous time in this State. Unrestricted
license to bum and plunder was the
order of the day. The chivalry have
been snipped of most of their valua
bles, Gold watches, silver pitchers,
cups, spoons, forks, etc., are as com
mon in camp as blackberries. The
terms of plunder are as follows: The
valuables procured arc estimated by
companies. Each company is re
quired to exhibit the results of its
operations at any given place—one
fifth and first choice falls to the
share of the commartder-in-chiuf and
staff, one fifth to the corps command
ers and staff, one-fifth to field officers
of regiments, and two-filths to the
company.
Officers over the rank of captain
arc not made to put their plunder in
the estimate for general distribution.
This is very unfair and for that reason,
in order to protect themselves, sub
ordinate officers and privates keep
back everything that they can carry
abont their persons, such as rings,
ear-rings, breastpins, etc., of which,
if I ever Jive to get home, I have
about a quart. Gen Sherman has
silver and gold enough to start a
bank, Ilis share in gold watches
and chains alone at Columbia was
two hundred and sovenly-fivo.
We took gold and silver enough
from tho d—d rebels to have re
deemed their infernal currency twice
ovor. This (the currency) whenever
wo came across it, wo burned, as vve
considered it utterly worthless.
Tho d—d niggers, as a general
rule, prefer to stay at home, particu
larly after they Found out that we
only wanted tho able bodied men
(and to tell you the truth, the young
ust aud best looking women.) Some
times wo took off wliolo plantation
of niggers, by way of repaying seces
sionists. But tho useless part of
them vve soon manage to lose—
sometimes by other ways.
I shall writo to you again from
■Wilmington, Goldsboro, or some
other place in North Carolina, The
order to match has arrived, and I
must close hurriedly. Love to grand
mother mid Aunt Charlotte. Take
care of yourself and tho children.
Dont show this letter out of the
family.
Your affectionate husband,
T. J. Mykiw, Lieut., &o.
P. B.—l will send this by the first
flag of truce to be mailed, unless I
have an opportunity to send it to
Hilton Head. Tell Sallie lam saving
a pearl bracelet and ear-rings for
her j but Lambert got the necklace
and breastpin of the same set. lam
trying to trade him out of them.
These were taken from tho Misses
Jamisons, daughters of the President
of the South Carolina Secession Con
vention. We found these on our
trip through Georgia.

Tub Biggest Thick. —Tho Visalia
(Cal.) Times says tho biggest tree
in Tularo county forest of giants, is
known as “General Grant.” It meas
ures thirty-soveu feet six inches iu
diameter; this would give, by ordi
nary estimate, a circumference of
over one hundred and twenty-seven
leet. The reader can imagine what
an immense area that would be, sup
posing a section of tho treo cut out
and laid upon tho ground. It would
afford ample room for a “ double co
tillion,” or, if the same section were
stood on odgo against an ordinary
two-story building, its uppor rim
would be above tho oaves, and well
toward the chimney-top.

train from Columbus, and tho oar ho
occupied was stopped over an eight
foot ditch, into which ho fell in getting
off. His log was broken, and ho re
ceived other injuries, wliioh will pro
bably maim him for life. Wo hope
this judgment will cause more care
on tho part of railroad companies as
to where they stop their trains, es
pecially in the darkness of night. As
it is, we are surprised that so few ac

The Walworth Tragedy.
The New York Sun of the sth has
the following in relation to the young
man who recently killed his father in
that city:
Frank H. Walworth, who shot and killed
his father in the Sturtevant House on Tues
day morning, occupies cell No. 44, Muider
ers’ Itow, in the Tombs, recently occupied by
Robert P. Weakley. An iron bed and a chair
are its only furniture. Yesterday young Wal
worth’s trunk was conveyed to the prison,
and to-day the cell is to be fitted up with
some degree of comfort.
‘ ‘ It may be a long time before he changes
his quarters,” one of his friends said to a Sun
reporter yesterday, “and we shall take care
that ho is comfortable.”
On his entering the Tombs on Tuesday, the
prisoner looked around him with an uncon
cerned air, and on being shown to his cell,
ho immediately closed the inner door. Later
on, when vii-ited by a warden, he was lying
on the bed. He said he had nothing to com
plain of, and was satisfied with liis quarters.
He fed a-leep early, and arose soon alter day
light. When asked how he had rested, he
said smilingly, “Pretty well.” He ate a
hearty breakfast, and then walked up and
down his cell for nearly an hour.
At about 9 o’clock, Mr. Charles O’Conor
called to see the prisoner. Mr. Garvin ar
rived soon afterward, whereupon Mr. O’Con
or, who had an engagement, retired. Later,
Mr. Beach also visited the prisoner.
Shortly before 11, Judge Barbour and Mrs.
Walworth, the prisoner’s mother, accompa
nied by ber younger son, drove up to the
Tombs in a carriage. Mrs. Walworth, who
is tall and well formed, was dressed in deep
Mack, with a heavy crape veil over her face.
As she reached the iron gate, she raised the
veil and disclosed a pnle, handsome face,
which bore traces of deep suffering, She
walked with a film step, and, on enti ling the
yard, gazed around with marked interest.
The party were conducted to the counsel
room, and the prisoner was sent for. On be
ing told that his mother was awaiting him
iwlow, young Walworth said “All light,”
put on his hat, and followed the warden.
Mrs. Walworth sat looking out of the counsol
room window, and as her son appeared she
atone.
When the young man entered they em
braced each other with great tenderness.
Mrs. Walworth and and not speak for some time.
The prisoner shook hands with his brother
and spoke to Judge Barbour.
Mr. Garvin and Mr. Beach soon followed
young Walworth to the counsel room, and
the party sat theft for some time in close
conversation.
Mrs. Walworth, shortly before one o’clock,
bade her son an affectionate farewell, and re
tired with Judge Barbour and the prisoner’s
counsel.
The officials of the Tombs say they have
seldom seen so unconcerned a prisoner as
young Walworth. He is perfectly calm and
collected, and seems always to have a smile
on his face. They are all very much prepos
sessed by the young man’s gentlo manners
and good looks.
Mr. Charles M. Whitney, who was counsel
for Mrs. Walworth in her divorce suit, says
that since that event the husband had been
sending his wife letters either highly senti
mental or full of tliyeats. He said iu one
letter that he had be3fi searching through the
libraries to direover the most horrible forms
of revenge, but that none was sufficiently
horrible to satisfy the feeling which he bore
towards her. He said that he would devote
Ills life, if needful, to the discovery of some
means by which he could sufficiently punish
her for the wrong she had done him.
Deputy Coroner Marsh yesterday made an
examination of the body of Mansfield Tracy
Walworth at Senior & Benedict’s, on Carmine
and Bedford streets. Tho dead man was 6
feet 11 inches in height, with finely developed
chest and limbs. Tho lungs, heart, liver,
and kidneyß were in a healthy condition, and
the brain weighed 50 ounces. Much difficul
ty was experienced in finding the balls. That
which entered the head could not have been
removed without mutilating the face,and as Ub
position was well ascertained search was not
made. The hones of tho left arm were so
shattered by the ball found in the muscles,
that had the unfortunate man survived the
limb would have had to be removed at the
Bhoulder joint. Tho ball that entered the
right breast did not tour h any vital part, hut
that which entered the left breast penetrated
the lung, and was the fatal missive.

Cholera in Nashville.
By a courtesy of a gentleman from
Nashville, who left that city yesterday
morning at 4 o’clock, and arrived
here last night at 11 o’clock, says
the Atlanta Sun of the 11th, we were
in possession last night of the Union
and American of the same date.
From it we learn there were 18 in
terments on Sunday, and 25 on
Monday, including one peniten
tiary convict, making 43 for Sun
day and Monday—2o whites and 23
negroes. Of the burials on Monday,
five of the number died from other
diseases than Cholera or Cholera
Morbus. It was the general opinion
on Monday, says the Union and
American, that the disease was aba
ting, and that Tuesday’s list of inter
ments would be small in comparison
to those of the three previous days.
Our informant further stated that
the number given in the Union and
American does not include the paup
ers, but only those who were inter
red in the cemetery.
The gentleman referred to informs
us that the stampede from the city
was increasing, and that the railroad
trains going in every direction were
crowded with people fleeing from
Nashville, the negroes as well as
whites.
Our informant also stated to us
that the physicians pronounced the
disease a sort of malarial fever, that
will perhaps sweep the country as did
the epizootic the past winter.
3 ;W° An exchange thus graphi
cally describes the condition of an
old man and his family, who was
always too poor to take a paper:
His hogs don’t know enough to
grunt when they are hungry ; his
dog jumped into the river and was
drowned because he didn’t know
enough to swim out; and only last
week his horse got out of the barn,
and went to a saw-mill close by, and
mistaking the sawdust for bran, ate
two bushels and turned into a hem
lock log. The wife wandered sev
eral miles away from home, four
yc-ars ago, and was scared to death
by a railway train; his only daugh
ter stabbed herself to the heart with
an old fashioned candle-rod ; and now
his youngest and only son has choked
hinißelf to death trying to swallow a
small pumpkin. This is an example
of what the world would be without
the educational influence of the press.
In his orat ion at the decoration
of the graves of the Federal soldiers
at Arlington, Va., on Friday, Rev.
Mr. Talmage administered the follow
ing well merited rebuke: “I am told
that a Southern woman had decorated
the grave of a Southern soldier, and
‘a Northern man, wearing a uniform,
took up the w reath and tore it to
the winds. He may have had on the
epaulettes, but lie was not worthy the
name of soldier.’’
irsr Longs treet occupies an unen
viable position. Dr. Redfield writes
to the Cincinnati Commercial “that
our best citizens refuse to speak to
him; ladies draw their skirts to one
side in passing him upon the streets
as it he was a leper. In tho eyes of
the New Orleans aristocracy, he has
sunk too low to he noticed.”

arterward. If I kin have plenty of
mackerel for breakfast, I kin gener
ally make the other two meals out of
water.’’
