Heroic* Versus Monarchic..
Brazil has changed her form 0 f
torernment: SV is now a republic,
ami, judging lo the lendeney ol the
times, Utere appears to be a general
gravitation towards republics
througboiu the world. We
that the object ol government is the
preservation ol the persons and
erty of met..
Turning to history we discover
that in Rome, under the despotism
of Nero, aed in l-Va-ioe under tho
denomination of the National Conveu
tion, men lived in tear of their lives,
nud also of their possessions. We
find Denmark well governed under
an absolute monarch, and the United
States equally happy under popular
representation. Wbat is the inter
cnee? That there is something be
sides the mere 1 rraot government
which conduces to a pe ?plc's hap
piness.
Lord Macaaley once remarked it:
an essay on the “Utilitariaa Theory
of .’.Join* Government ” that H we ought ail"
<!.e constitution of tbo-e
communities in which, under wliat
,<vor form, the blessingsol good
ermueoterceqjoyed; aodtodi^ver,
it p.-.-shfe. in what they
eacl: oilier, and in what they
differ tona those societies in which
the xiUect of government is not at
laked. ?Jv proceeding thus we shall
univo, not indeed at a perlcct tlieo
rr of government, lint at a theory
wtriiffi will lie ot great practical use,
and which the experience ol every
seccessNe generation will probably
bring nearni and nearer to perfec
lion.” lli.-t ry, llicretore, bus Us
practical uws. and must torm the
bares ol a sound judgement, so cs.scn
tial in a county in which the poorest
citizen exercises, through the medium
of the ballot-box, the function ol gov
eminent.
The differentiation ol form will not
account for the divergence of results
attained in the history of
incut It is certain that under
despotism the absolute ruler is
weighted yviih a personal rexponni
bilily that mu-t, in h greater or less
degree, exercise some influence on
his conduct. Under the rule of the
majority to what source can nny
responsibility be traced? Is a mu
jority necessarily tlie embodiment ol
all wisdom, justice, mercy, charity,
liberty and integrity? Then, lor the
the time being, the republican party
baa succeeded to tlr« possession
of those a It lib* ties ot
which Democracy has been
posse-sed by the ballot bol, and the
minority, according to the rii^ta ol a
large proportion ol the press, has no
rights which the majority^ bound to
respect.
To him who is watching, with
grave attention, the signs of the
times, there will come u conviction
i hat the grim shadows ol ultra
communism, or rampant socialism, is
hovering behind the throne is which
majority Bit' and must sit.
The point the most worthy off con
siileration is this: Docs the term
Republic, ns defined by the Fathers
of American govern*, nt, moan the
sumo thing now ? In Brazil,

here a few days ago. A lew
years ago a citizen of Columbus loll

heart and hand and was accepted.
Accordingly the couple were united
in marriage, ami until a short time
ago, when another claimant to the
beautiful woman showed up and put
in his claim, they had lived very
together.
it was a great surprise to
husband number two to learn that
b ind number one was still alive,
It was found that the first husband
had, several years ago, killed a man
and was sentenced to prison for life,
but on receiving a pardon from the
Governor of A abama, began search
his loving wife, whom be had left
in poverty to battle with the world
alone.
Here lie found her, and declared
her his. The same love and devotion
for him, still existed in the bosom of
the faithful wife, who had lived
apparently happily with her second
husband, a gentleman in splendid
circumstances and one of Columbus’
mosl ''cspectable citizens, and she
decided to put an end to her trouble,
which she did by taking a dose of
strychnine. L.
