THE INCREASE OF CRIME.
The increase of crime iu some portions of
this country since the war is really appalling
In Indiana, the number of convicts in the State
penitentiary is twice the highest number ever
known before, and iu Illinois the same pro
portion is said to, also, hold good. Massa
chusetts has three hundred and thirty-four
negro convicts alone, and as her black popula
tion is but an insignificant portion of her en
tire number of inhabitants it is but reasonable
to suppose that 6he has something like a thous
and criminals now under punishment. This
alarming increase in crime is also perceptible
in the other Northern States, while from al
most every State iu the South comes up the
cry that the penitentiaries are insufficient for
the reception of evil-doers.
While this increase of crime holds good,
therefore, for the South, as well as the North,
there are some circumstances perceptible on a
closer inspection of the question, which, while
to the credit of one section speak very dis
advantageous^ - for the other. Thus iu the
North, if the reader will but lake the trouble
to consider, the crimes committed are general
ly of the gravest dye, and have, nine times in
ten, white men for their perpetrators. These
white men, again, are in perhaps over half Un
cases occurring, discharged soldiers of the
Northern army. Murder iu all its forms,
and from all its motives—revenge, avarice,
jealousy, drunkenness and lust, seems to run
riot; and it would be difficult to read any of the
largo Northern or Western dailies through
attentively, without coming upon some sicken
ing tale of blood. Next to murder come the
scarcely less heinous catalogue of offences
against fenale virtue, rape,'seduction, bigamy
and adultery are so frequent that at times, one
is almost led to doubt the existence of sell
rcstrahitin man, or modesty in vomiA Con
jugal offences, In particular, stare ojJPrn the
face at every turn, and are too frequently made
light of, instead of meeting the scorching
reprehension of ffie press. But so long as the
marriage tie can be so easily loosened as it now
appears is admissible by the laws of many of
these States, offences of this kind would doubt
less be equally frequent, even in the absence of
some causes hereafter to he mentioned; and
may, therefore, be left out of the question.
Next iu order come perjury—whereof the
revenue laws are a most fruitful progenitor—
robbery,' theft, forgery, embezzlement, fraud
and peculation in all their myriad forms. For
this prevalent licentiousness there Is a reason,
and one need not go very far to seek it. ft is
the disregard, the deep, ingrained, venomous
disregard ol all law that has been instilled into
the popular mind North, by debauched and
wicked men. The favorite literature is a litera
ture of sensation, that depends for its effect on
a dexterous hovering continually on the bor.
tiers of the improper and the impure. The
prevalent political creed is one that will permit
no obstacle, however just or merciful, to stand
in the path of passion, and the dominant ruling
power lias for its motto sic columns —thus we
will, and this is the law.
But, not to dwell on causes that the reader
may study out more fully at his leisure, it is
purposed to turn to some review of crime as it
appears in the South. Here offences are, for the
most part, of a lighter nature and chiefly com
mitted by the blacks. The number of aggra
vated crimes perpetrated by our white popula
tion does not, in all probability, exceed the
ratio of before the war, and this, in spite of
the fact that such immense bodies were at the
close of the war, sent home from the license of
camps—a fact highly to the honor of the Con
nederate soldier, and one not heretofore
noticed by the press as it should have been.
Among the blacks theft lias been the great
offence ; but as the same punishment is now
meted them for that as to the whites, it is made
to appear, at a casual inspection of penitentiary
returns that there is much more law-breaking
in the South than every before. There is, of
course, a considerable increase, but nothing in
either quantity or kind equal to that now deso
lating tUa North, at auao tlia fruit uni thn
ishment of a rotten philosophy and a lawless
school of politics.
INTERNATIONAL COINAGE.
Some years since the idea of having among
the various civilized nations of the earth one
homogeneous coinage was first practically moot
ed at a Scientific Congress in Germany. Since
that time the subject has becu one that has re
ceived considerable attention at the bauds of
tliinkiug men in Europe aud iu this country,
aud both there and here the suggestion has led
to some geueral action in the way of interna
tional homogeuity. In 1857 Austria aud the
minor German States entered into a convention
whereby seventy millions of people were
brought to the use of one. single form of coin
age, instead of as previously some dozeu dif
ferent varieties. Since that time Belgium.
Italy, Switzerland, Sweden, Portugal, Greece,
the Netherlands and Turkey have adopted the
French decimal division, and so far as Conti
nental Europe goes, there now appears little to
be done before the universal money computa
tion throughout the whole exteut will be based
upon the French decimal system with the franc
for a standard unit of value. This side the
water there has been no legislation in favor of
a homogeneous coinage, one acting upon the
general principle of levelling useless national
peculiarities, Congress passed at its session im
mediately preceding the present, an act where
by the French metric system, as it is termed
was adopted for luturc use in government,
transactions. This system of weights and
measures, which, like the French coinage, is
based upon decimal computation is the one
now in use in the Empire and owes its origin
to the times of the revolution of 1793. Fol
lowing in this same course of unification, it is
understood that the American Commissioners
to the Paris International Exhibition are to be
instructed to agitate the subject of an inter-
national coinage and bring home, as the basis
of legislative action in this behalf, the results
of any discussion or action thereupon.
The French coin system, like that of weights
ancl measures, being the simplest, most easily
understood, and most highly approved in prac
tice it is, of course, extremely probable that if
there be in reality any adoption of an interna
tional coinage, such coinage will be mainly bas
ed upon the French, if indeed that be not
adopted in its entiretry. A late writer in the
Baltimore Sun, from whose article are gleaned
many suggestions, states that there would be
very little difficulty in adapting our present
coin system to that of ihe French, cither being
decimal in their basis. The franc, it is urged,
could readily be made the unit, -and with this
as the standard in Continental Europe and
America, Great Britain would speedily be forc
ed to surrender her own present intricate inode
of computation, and by concurring with other
nations, render the homogeneity of coinage an
accomplished fact. To the reception of such a
coinage there are sonic objections but none
that may not be quite readily overcome, and
nouc that can weigh in the balance against the
continual trouble arising from the many shift
ing coin systems now in vogue.

More Light on Mexico—Juarez at Oliihua
hun —A Grand Ball and a Splendid Line
of Policy.
As Shakspeare, in his Midsummer Night’s
Dream, through his little fairy Puck, foretold
the union of the Atlantic and Pacific cables,
in the promise to “put a girdle round about
the earth iu forty minutes,” so Mother Goose,
in one of her popular melodies, has left upon
record a graphic prophecy of the Mexican
muss of the present day—so graphic that it
must have been to her a spiritual manifestation.
Here it is :
Tho snow came iu with the saddle ;
The little pig rocked the cradle ;
The dish jumped up on the table
To see the pot swallow the ladle ;
Tho spit that stood behind the door
Threw the pudding stick on the floor.
“ Odd splut!” said the gridiron, “ can’t you agree ?
I’m the head constable ; bring them to me.”
Could any thing more clearly describle tiie
Mexican situation V The snow that camo in
with the saddle is the French intervention ; the
iittle pig that rocked the cradle is Maximilian ;
the dish jumping up on the table is Marshal
Baznine, to see the empire swallow the repub
lic ; the spit behind the door is Juarez, and,
while Santa Anna figures as the pudding stick,
in comes Secretary Seward as Gridiron and
head constable. Well done, Gridiron ; for,
to give him his deserts, he has, by dint of
hard and persistent scolding, cleared out the
principal disturber ol the kitchen—the sow witli
the saddle.
Likewise, iu the very interesting letter from
one of our special Mexican correspondents
published iu yesterday’s Herald, we haven
flood of republican light on this Mexican busi
ness. Our representative, more fortunate than
Messrs. Campbell and Sherman, not only got
upon the track of Juarez, but followed him up
and found him at the interior city of Chihua
hua, land had the high pleasure of participating
there in a grand ball given by the President of
the republic as a farewell in honor of the pa
triotic aud beautiful ladies of his capital pro
tem. From the description of this festival and
of “ the well developed and magnificently
rounded forms of the Chihuahua ladies ” and
thein“ dark Andalusian-like eyes,” the “flame
of which is softened by their shading lashes,”
we guess that the unfortunate ambassabors of
President Johnson, when they read this ac
count, will scratch their heads with mortifica
tion and regret that they had not put them
selves under the wing of the Herald commis
sioner. He might have carried them through
• and made them the principal lions at tliis
charming ball of Juarez, a living illustration—
climate, palace, decorations, dark eyed beau
ties and everything—ol some of those dnzziing
Oriental scenes we read of in the “ Arabian
Sights.”
AH this, by taking the wrong track, was lost
by Messrs. Campbell aud Sherman, and some
tiling ol more importance in the political pro
gramme of Juarez, as developed at this Orien
tal entertainment. At the supper, where the
wipe flowed iu abundance to bring out the
toasts and. speeches, President Juarez made
several little responses, and all to the purpose.
He said, tor instance, that while they had been
successful In driving the French fiom their
soil there were other nations that talked of in
tervenfion : but, he continued, “ We want none
of this —neither from France, Spain, England,
nor the Unite’d States. We believe we are
capable of self-government if we are allowed
t lie opportunity. Our territory must remain
intact.” AiM yet again, while acknowledging
in grateful terms tho great value of tbo power
ful moral support given by the United States
to the Mexican republic, he said :—“ Gentle
men, you must lay aside any idea that the
United Slates desire to overshadow us. It is a
mistake. They desire, by tligir moral support,
to aid the cause of liberty iu Mexico. They do
not desire more of our terriGiry, nor will they
insult us by asking for This is the Juarez
programme, and ft is just Jtho thing—the very
thing needed to give they Mexicans and all
“Yankee” speculators in litnd and mining pro
jects a Mr understanding of the policy of Juarez
and our Government. The fighting General
Lew Wallace, the hero of Monocacy bridge,
also turned up with Juarez at this festival, and
gave, in his toast as a Union soldier, “ The
Mexican nation ancl all its States—the States
subordinate so the nation ” —a timely hint to
beware of the rocks and shoals of State rights
among which we have so narrowly escaped
shipwreck.
To make perfectly clear the position of Jua
rez and the Mexican liberals, our correspondent
says that they looked upon the Catnpbell-Sher
man mission with suspicion ; that if territory is
the object of Gen. Sherman, lie will fail; that it
his object is a protectorate, he will fail; that if
he comes to offer the services ol United States
troops, they will be rejected, and that the Mex
icans only want the continuance of our moral
support. All this tallies with the instructions
to Campbell and Sherman ; but when, if with
our correspondent at Chihuahua, they might
have given a powerful lilt to Juarez, in the sim
ple statement of their mission, they were off on
their wild goose chase to Vera Cruz, only to
come away each with a flea in his ear, and
from the sneers and scoffs ol an imperial car
nival.
This Chihuahua farewell ball of Juarez took
■place on the 29th of November. The 10th of
December he had named as the day of his de
parture for Durango. Tbcuce, after (he lapse
of a few days, he would move on to Zacatecas
and thence to Guanajuato, working his wav
gradually round by the west to the City of Mex
ico. The liberal chiefs en route will join him as
he goes on ; so that he will probably, sooner or
later than he anticipates, enter the national
capital at the head of a considerable army. But
while he has Ortega, Canales aud other factious
disturbers, with their guerrillas, behind him,
there are Maximilian, Miramon, Mejia, Marquez
and the Church party, with their forces, amount
ing to sixty thousand men, before him and on
his flank, independently of the French. It is
probable, however, that with the removal of the
French in March next, and not before, Juarez
will advance upon the City of Mexico, and that
then will come the tug of war. Meantime we
suppose Juarez, not over flush of cash, would
accept a loan from the United States, and from
what we learn from Washington, it is probable
that with the fair prospect which now opens
before him, a bill to give him a lift will soon be
brought forward in Congress.
History of January. —lt is very appropri
ate that this should be the first month of the
year, as far as the northern hemisphere is con
cerned. since its beginning, being near the win
ter solstice, the year is thus made to present a
onmi>lot.a nm'lea of tha aouaonnl changcH uud op
orations, including equally the first movements
of spring and the death ol annual vegetation in
the frozen arms of winter. Yet the earliest cal
endars, as the Jewish, the Egyptian and Greek
did not place the commencement of the new'
year at this point. It was not done till the
formation of the Roman calendar, usually at
ributed to the second king, Numa Pompiiius,
whose reign is set down as terminating in
673 B. 0. Numa, it is said, having decreed
that the year should commence now, added
two new months to the ten into which the
year had previously been divided, calling the
first Janarious, in honor of Jauus, the deity
supposed to preside over doors (Latin—a door,)
who might very naturally be presumed also to
have something to do with the opening of the
year.
Although, however, there was a general
popular regard to the Ist of January, as the
beginning of the year, the ancient Jewish year,
which opened with the 35th of March, con
tinued long to have a legal'position in Christian
countries. In Eugland it was not nntil 1753
that the first of January became the initial day
of the legal, as it had long been of the popular
year. Before that time it was eustomarv to set
down dates between the Ist of January and the
34th of March inclusive, thus: January 50,
1848-’49, meaning that popularly the year was
1849, but legally 1848. In Scotland this desir
able change was made by a decree of James VI.,
in privy council in the year 1600. It was
effected in France in 1564, in Holland, Protes
tant Germany and Russia in 1700, and in Swe
den in 1753. According to Vcstigar, in his
curious book, the restitution of decayed intelli
gence„ (4to. 1638,) our Saxon ancestors original
ly called this month Wolf-monat— that is Wolf
month—“because people were wont always in
that month to be more in danger to be devour
ed by wolves than in any season else of the
year, for that through the extremity of cold and
snow thpse ravenous creatures could not find
beasts sufficient to feed upon.** Subsequently
the month was named by the same people
Aefler Yule— that is alter Christmas. It is
rather odd that we should have abandoned the
Saxon name of the mouth while retaining those
of the days of the week.

priest, committed suicide iu Cairo by jumping
