A w ie at Buas cm Eng a id, hi s ern d for a divorce because her bus hand will not cut Jus toe nails, Who can blame her ? Under tbTwing oP-Rcligious Press” the Christian Index of this week quotes from the Atlanta Con Htitution. We can not see how thev can make that. Mrs. Roxana Druse was hanged last Monday at Herkimer N.Y. for the murder of her husband. There is some dissatisfaction in New York about the matter of her hanging. A bill is now pending in the New York legislature to abolish the hanging of women. The New York Star in favoring the bill says : C: 11 it hysteria, frenzy, madness, degradation—what you will—-it is only in sickness or despair that a woman forsakes her lovely and pla¬ cable nature and assumes the guise of a fiend. In neither ease is she ns responsible for her actions as a man. It cannot he long before men who make the la ws realize that they are also responsible for making their women what they are. If the President do s not nomi¬ nate the Inter-state (!< mrnissionerfi until after the 4 th of March, it will be because he desires to appoint several members of the present Congress who am now ineligible. Of the members likely to he named in such an ovent the most promi¬ nent are Randolph Tucker and Mormon. Both of these gentlemen ure law vers by profession, though Mormon . . onlv , , known pohti- .... is as a cum. . they diner widelv . , , enough , to furnish the propose,! . commission ‘ with . , variety, . i uoxer . is . a senotar i , polished an 1 suave in . manner, and , was in . , lus . , 1 , daw, , mnu , ruii , oss a ' As , eonversatioinUst lie orator. a , is too ,, most . entertaining. , , . . Mormon ... is the opposite—slow, plodding ami patient, but too slow for tacking If p be a virtue, he has that soldier¬ ly virtue of never knowing when 1 10 has beaten. It took luma dozen years to become of any prominence whatever in Congress, and just as lie got the whip-hand his constitu¬ ents failed to return him. Presi¬ dent Cleveland would bo glad to favor him, and if lie will accept the position he can be on this commit¬ tee—a position of doubtful desira¬ bility. The hill to enlarge the powers and duties of the department of ag¬ riculture which has passed the Sen¬ ate awaits only (lie agreement of the house to the Senate amend¬ ments and the signature of the President to create a now execu¬ tive department and add to the Cabinet another member witl the t le of Secretary of agriculture and I a her. It has been just thirty e glit years since a Congress eiea i d an executive department, Washington began his first admin iraG- ■■ with but three members 3 Cabinet, the Secretaries of the , :ate, Treasury and War. At the 1 ’ginning of his second term, how t er, the Attorney General w is ad c l to the number of his confiden ! al advisers and in 170 S the Navy departmon: was organized. The ’abinet was thus increased to five, , nd so remained until 1 . 829 , when he Post-Master-General was made a cabinet minister. Twenty years by act of March 3 , 1849 , Con s organized the last department, of the Interior, and President r&ylor appointed Thomas Ewing, oi Lancaster, Ohio, the first secreta yv of that department. The gener al belief is that if the bill a aw, the President will appo mnssioner v ohnan to be 1 . t Secretary. Air. Column IS ■1 - . yet received any information from tire President as to whether tie wiii be appointed or not, and owing to the lateness of the pas¬ sage oft’;': hill the secretary will not likely he appointed until after the adjournment of Congress. TJIE SOUTH ANI) PENSIONS. Whatever be the verdict as to the final pauper pension bill, it would seem that the abuse leveled at the South on account of its defeat is altogether undeserved. Her repre¬ sentatives in Congress strained a point and passed the bill as it came j before them because relief it wasa of North¬ North ertl measure, for the em soldiery. They were willing, wrongly, we think, to place this additional burden upon the South rathcr tliaR r ' ndan S er t!lC b v - giving even the shadow of excuse the resurrection of war issues and thc charge that she was viola tin * her a ^cement There can be no dispute but that as regards pensions the South lias acted in a manner entirely consist¬ ent with her surrender at Appomat¬ tox. A heavy pension list was a part of the situation accepted and from that day until this Southern Congressmen have cast their votes in favor of every pension measure that met the approval of the North irrespective of party, This last measure was voted for in silent contempt; they must have seen in it a confession that disgraces the manhood of the North, Be¬ hind them stood their own people, crippled warriors, impoverished veterans, orphans and widows and sunless mothers, people who met their reverses without a murmur, who took up their tasks amid con¬ ditions that would have appalled a less gallant race, and redeemed their section, not only without gov¬ ernment aid, but while pouring in¬ to the homes of the North, the sum of their savings to support the vic¬ tors who wore the scars they had indicted. We sa ^ coniompt. because m ^nnot imagine the confession in¬ volvccl m that lull could have in spir ed less in the heart of any South • cm man. It , said ni . cflect, this much: “lie, , . the who ... loughl men in the war between the Mates, up A on the Union side, arc now unabw to earn a living, and without some help , Iron , the , Souluorn people 1 ‘ parish. . It . true must in we were the victors, that the war enriched our section and that we live among a myriad of business opportunities that spring from the annual ex¬ penditure in our midst of nearly a hundred millions of dollars; it is true that the South was wrecked, that the war was fought on her soil and her homes made desolate and that she has no income but what her people earn by the sweat of their brows-; still we must be sup¬ ported even if they have to support us.” It is a confession that under the best conditions the men of the North cannot do what the men of the South have done under the worst. It is an appeal from the victor to the vanquished, something a little more humiliating than a “Help me Cassius or I sink.” The South has no claims upon the government that will yield her an income. Wo thank God for the fact. Harsh and bitter as has been her experience it has fitted her people lor larger triumphs; it has given them a sterner manliness ; it \ has wrought a finer dignity, a more perfect self-reliance and a broader spirit. Vast as is the pension drain upon her, she could better afford to pay it even trebbled than to ac cept ,t in any shape or form, When the ‘‘pauper’ - bill returned to receive the almost solid vote the idouth against it. it came bear mg the condemnation of the Executive, a Northern man, and the leading papers of that section, If the soldiers of the North have been misrepresented they will be able te express themselves next year, for we doubt not but that this j measure with the vote and veto up on it will be waved in lieu of or alongside the bloody shirt for all it F worth* We shall see then to extent the demoralizing infiu of dependence and gratuities slice ted the manhood of, the public.—.dacon Tele graph, ■ GEORGIA RAILROAD.
