CHIMES A!V!> Pt.MSHMtX l
It is useless to deny, and dangerou. to pal
liate the tact that we are in the midst v ? an era
cf cr me. The columns of the daily press o f a,.
sections, are crowded with the details of a'roc
Hies that make nsshudder for the dark possi
bilities of human nature. Perhaps the war,
by cheapening life in popu’ar estimation, may
have removed, in some cases, tho moral re
straint:) which usually repress, in ad gree,
oven the baseness of the wicked.
1 lie late struggle warr most demoralizing in
Its effects Even some of the mst moral and
upright men in every community have no>
passed through it untainted. Besides, the d:s
banding of our armies have turned loose upon
the country many, who, belor) the war weie
sot noted either for morality or good
habits. Robberies, murders, and lawlessness
of all kinds appear to reign supreme iu many
portions of our country, and from every sen.
tio D of it we hear of crimes of unparelled
atrocity being committed.
1 his state of things cannot continue. .Un
less crime is suppressed by law, the ciim'nal
will b* crushed by violence, and society will
dissolve into anarchy. It will boa sel dav
when the vigilance committee mu ps the pre
rogative ol the jury, and when the indignation
of the populace do ts the wo.k of the sheriff.
Such a revolu ion, however, is inevitable i‘
lav'ishcrs and muiderers are, allowed so io;m
the s 1 reefs in freedom, or to stalk ouirOi couit
roams unpunished.
Already arc those Slates in which there ex
ists civil law reaping the Hid fcff’cts of the
ineffic ent and criminal manner iu whica it ,s
admiuisteied.
In all sections we need more rigid enforcemen
of the law. Justice should be sternly adminis
tered to the guilty, L-nioncy in these days is
a crime itself against society, 'i he law.is a to
gether too much disrespected both by those
who administer it, as well as'by those who
break it. 'iho loose state of things which ex-
Ists in States wheie civil courts are held in truly
alarming. The records of recent trials wouid
seem to indicate that in tho estimation of
juries, depravity is presumptive evidence oi the
existence of that degree of mental disord-r
which takes away tha responsibility of the
ngeut so that tho more revolting the circum
stances oi the crime, tho greater tho certainty
of acquittal. Unless this laxity gives piaco to
the stern vindication of justice, wo must ex
pect tc see the early experience of California
repeated, throughout those portions of the
Country not under the strong arm of the milt—
far) law.
THE PHOMHKeS OK .Hit CtlOLitEY,
Late accounts fiOm Eqropo state that the
cholera hud pi eg res pod as fur westward as
Borne portions of Franca. It is even said it
bus made its appearance at Marseilles. Lsl

liens weie taken too late. Filth was allowed
to accumulate in cititß to invite pestilence by
poisonous exhalations and fetid odors. Not
till the destroyer was busy in populous inaits,
did the pnl lie set to uroik to provide the safe
guards, the time for which had passed.
Letters from Fgypt any that in that country
two great maladies, the cholora and the cat
tie disease, have been raging together and are
connected in origin The cattle distemper
broke out lost year, and in the course of a few
months nearly a million of oxem with as many
more sheep, goats, camels, etc., perished. A
ji ugo proportion of the cateasses were thrown
into the Nile, whose waters afford tho only
drink ot the Egyptians, there Icing* hut ono
ppriug in the entire land. Last October the
dead bodies formed a complete bridge across
the Nile at Dametia, so that dogs could cross
over without wetting their paws. Lather tbau
dig graves fer the cattle, the natives prt fern and
the more easy and indolt ut met hod of throwing
them into the streams. Even the Su< z Com
pany were unable to keep tho fellahs from
choking their fresh water canals by carcasses,
the lazy wretches taking a tigging rather
than make the effort to dig holes for the burial
of the bodies.
Although tho means employed to procure
statistics aro not very trustworthy, the number
of deaths at Alexandria oa the 26t0 of June,
an extremely hot day, were estimated at from
eight to nine hundred. Oa the 7ch of Ju'y,
an Austrian ship sailed for Syria with five
hundred Greek and Maltese passengers. Oa
the way one hundred and fitty were buried in
tho deep, and the residue ou arriving at, their
destination were not pennitt and to land. In
other parts cf Egypt the ravages of the pesti
lence have been even more destructive tbau at
Alexandria. Cairo, with its half million of in
habitants, has suffered terribly.
It behooves us in this country to give time-
Jy heed to the warnings sounded from afar.—
Filth, physical and moral, go together, and
the cholera, like pestilence in oth r forms, nr
tack the haunts of pollution first. Commenc
ing iu the vile dens where large numbers of
wretched mortals are crowded together, er.d
fweepfug them into the grave, it vmks cut
ward till none are safe againct its blow. The
Intemperate and licentious aro generally the
first to tall, but when the mala iy has once se
cured a foothold, even the meet prudent are
not secure. After the most rlg'd enforce men. =■
t>f quarantine regulations iu the case of ships
from infected countries, we must rely chi*-fly
upon cleanliness and the avoidance ot the
causes which stimulate them.
The National Debt.-- i'be United States, re
marks Peterson’s Detector, is the only nation
that has ever paid its debts. It has already
paid every cent of two national debts, each
greater iu proportion to the population and re
sources of the p op!a than the present prospec
tive debt. On the first ot January, 1800, the
public debt was $76,503,176 ; this was succes
sively reduced until Is 12 wlpeu it amounted to
845,737 000 The war of 1812 raised it to
$127,334 933 in 1816 ; the debt was thorou.to
ly cancelled in 1835, and in addition. S2B ouo,-
000 of surplus divided proportionately among
thr states. This Nation has the rare Loner of
being the only Government that has paid her
fiebts, with a surplus, and this without having
approved her people with excessive taxation.
The United States will easily pay the debt
created by the late war, despite all the croak
ing to the contrary. The resources ot this
great Nation—lor nation it is cow conced*d to
p 9, iodiseolublu, and cemented by the blood
oi over a million of brave men into one rnsepa ;
rable whole—.developed already as they are |
and must become, may bo relied upon with as
much confidence as sufficient to pay off the ,
public debt ontracted within the past four
years, a- its resources were at the close of the j
war whl) Great Britain, 1815, or in 1816, when
the public debt was near one hundred and
twenty eight millions of dollars.
Some ol our people have too little confi
dence in the financial ability and resources of
this great and growing Republic ; some oi
them have become so demoralized by the war
that they h ive little confidence in its financial
ntegrity; most of them only think of the
debt alone, and not of its immense resources.
FLese doubts must bes v aken off; this lack of
knowU rive must be dissipated by the diffusion
of a more general intelligence The daily de
vet ptnent, of ma etial resources—the increase
of population—the enterprise and industry of
be American people—will payoff the public
(1, bt as was that of 1816, in less than a quarter
of a century, provided we cease wrang'ing
tod disiurbaocefi at home. Give the nation
peace, and it will pay its debt.
lODuis of law.
Seme weeks since, an eminent Georgia
.daft.-man, who has worthily won the high
est julic.al honors in the power of a State
to bestow, was spoken to in regard to his of
licial duties. With a blending of dignity,
in *: y*y and good sense, such r.s we might
havi expected in him, he replied —“Sir, I am
no Judge.”
When Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, whp
was Governor bifore tho war, and an ardent
peace mau for three years before its close,
und-.. nook to take the State back into the Union,
by the call of Convention ; he was severely re
bel.* and tor presumption.
Joss ;/ Brown was probably as desirous of
ictunsTmction and peace, as any one in the
South, when he was arrested; and the Judge
we speak of, was long and prominently for the
Union an 1 Voted for delay and compromise at
the t ine ho was insulted in the streets by the
mob. •
Asa citizen, he stood by the Union to the
last 11! took no Confederate honors but held
his old place ; and during the war, was lair and
impi.rtVJ, and at its close, publicly signified
his nt to the result. How does his conduct
coat: a- 1 with that of ardent secessionists, who
have accepted and held office and honor under
the Southern flag only, who aro loyal now by
necessity, and who yet boast the ermine and
tho rank acquired under an unsuccessful cause
and talk of courts, and decisions, and decrees,
for which we know no legal warrant?
Tub wise, noble, and respected Georgian,
said—' I r.m no Judge;” and left his past
in .nor untarnished by any pitiful attempt to
bold a shadow of which the substance had de
parted ; and left his future position and future
usefrflhess, suhj ictto tho future approbation of
the people, or tiro future rewards ol his coun
try.
Wien iho lion. Hertchel V. Johnson, of
Georgia, was defeated lor the Vice Presidency
on the Douglas ticket, he quietly . went home,
a-id u ct.pu-d the result without murmur or
comment Alexander If. Stephens said: “If
1 were ordered to Washington city to be hutg,
and le.ft*w:lbout guard, 1 snonrq silil go.”
B it the Mississippi Judges, of.whom we spoke
in a •..cent issue, must use their power—and
met with the mortification of ufler failure,
and received the information which was clear
as day-, that tho military occupancy and su
premacy in the country had not ceased, and
that no official document had either declared
the war at an end and its issues and purposes
closed, cr in any way restored those highest
rights evbr lost by a freeman—self govern
ment, representation, habeas corpus, and
trial by jury.
Having failed, let us admit it. Tho great
yield to destiny, but tho little continue to
strive, fiom their ignorance that it is useless.
Why do some men seek mortification and re
pul.-u? Why not read and profit by the c-ld
parable ot tho guest who took the first place
a', the marriage supper, and heard the morti
fying words- “give place to one worthier than
thou.” Is it not better to wait till worth at
tracts attention, and bo told at last, “friend,
com.' up higher.” '
\Y e have shown that many men of known
loyalty have declined or been refused Ligh
pia-'es in this inter regnum state ; and it is not
that we desire it, or would provoke or anoy
any one, but simply to show how human gov
ernments all pattern after tho one government
of the universe ; and tb it the solemn words of
inspiration apply to even the lesser affairs of
poiidcs, and “if these” —tho true—“scarcely
be saved” what hope have those of us who
staked and lost position on the die of seces-
eioa.
Th ;t this is true, is no cause for anger ; and
*let uaeeo to it, that batlL'd pride, and unholy
ambition, bring no spirit ol bitterness and use
a*ss contentiou to our hearts.
Arr.ur.s in Missouri. —Matters in Missou v i
are g owing worse daily. Highway robbery
and murder aro of frequent occurrence. In
s nuo sections, persons who are suspected of
being connected wj£h Southern bushwhackers
daring the war, have been notified by people of
ill other side, that they must quit the State.
Tho carrying out of tho provisions of the
is \v is causing much disturbance
la many parts of the State the people, are or
,u z.ug iu opj_rose Us Being put into effect by
force cl arms. A large number of ministers of
dub-rent persuasions refuse to take the oath
prescribed. Some announce they will continue
| to • Hi date, and have called upon their congre
-.tious to stand by them ia oaee they are dis
turb i, or an attempt at arrest is made.
Gov Fletcher has announced the policy he
will pursue iu a very strong proclamation. The

Tru ! y, ibis is a lamentable condition of af

peace and harmony. Ou the contrary, ii has a

Gov. Sh ieket’s Miutart Prcoi.amation
Wc notice seme pipers are publishing Gov
•j-La;key’s ruirnary proclamation. It was is
£u, ;by l.iar a short time since. It calls upon
the ; oop’e ia each county of Mississippi to
orga; z > and pu; down lawlessness. Tire pro
clamatkm b.'VYtv r, is of no effect. Gou. Slo
cum, ihe commander cf the Department of
Mi -issippi, issued an order prohibiting it to
be cafi-d out. lie said that U. S. forces
enough would be brought to the State to pre
serve law and order.

Oa August 51, six hundred bales of cotton

Affairs lv Teknebm. —ln Tennessee the j
condition of affaiis are indeed alarming. .They
show that matters are going from bad to worse
rapidly in that section of our country. The
papers of the leading cities arc filled with ac
counts of murders and robberies. From the
m'ddle portion of the State we also
have lamentable accounts. We recently pub
lished the news that in one county alone, forty
men were declared outlaws, and the communi
ty empowered to haDg or shoot them when
ever caught.
The telegraphic dispalches from East Tennes
see are but one record of blood and crime.
Scenes of violence and slaughter are narrated.
InCaatun )Oga, September 4, a colored guard
shot a white sergeant from some cause or other.
At the fame time he accidently shot a colored
boy. Both the sergeant and boy died from their
wounds. A discharged soldier on the same
day also shot a negro killing him instantly.
There is great excitement in Chattanooga.
•There are good grounds for it.
In Knoxville, September 4, a difficulty oc
currd between W. H Ha?l, Clerk of the Cir
cuit Court of Knoxville, and a young man
nameo Baker late of the Southern army, in which
the former was killed. Baker was committed
to j til, but the citizens rescued him from the
Sheriff and hung him in the street where his
body remained ail night. A fight occurred the
same evening at a ball in which four or five
persons were killed.
Ah we have before Paid, this condition of
affairs is truly alarming and promises no good
to the country. If affairs progress in the di
rection they are now tending, we need never
expect to live under any thing but military
rulers. Everjygood citizen should render all
the aid in his power to prevent crime being
committed; and when committed should do
everything possible to ferret cut and punish
the perpetrators of unlawful deeds.
The.*best interests of our country, and the
welfare of good society and good morals, de
mands that such a course be pursued.
Tho Shreveport News of the B.h inst., says
that a writ of Habeas Corpus had been granted
by Judge Weems of the Tenth Judicial Dis
trict Os that State, In favor of Wiiiiam Sample
of De Soto Parish, r,ow in military custody,
and that the matter would be tested iu a few
day®. This locks like the resumption of civil
rule and the suoiemacy of courts and the law
in LcuisaDa —Savannah Herald
la other Stales, lately ia arms against theU.
S. Government, where Judges have endeavor
ed to get men ia custody of the military out
of prison, by a writ of habeas corpus, they
themselves have been put in. Forming an
opinion from what has occurred, we think the
Louisana judge will be ia (he same fix the
man lie wishes to relieve, unless he ceases his
exertions.
There is one fact we must accept, although
many may do so with reluctance. The military
is tbe Eupvems power in all States lately array
ed in arms against the General Government;
and will remain supreme, until Congress re
stores the seceded Siatest o all their riehtg —
perhaps longer. They have U. S.' Provost
Marshals evta now in tho North; and when
such officials see fit to yrnest any person, they
allow no interference on the part of the civii
aulb iritier. Certainly, we cannot expect to be
treated better than States which have neve?
seceded. If an ambitious man t-dL you “we
can do this,” and “we can do that,” if what he
is going to do differs from what the govern
ment has done, do cot believe him. It is no
use so follow counsel which will get ua into
k'ouble. *-■
Tue Fbexchin Mexico.— lt would seem, from
the last advices received from Mexico, that the
French have m do good their footing on the
Pacific seaboard. From the first, we knew
that Napoleon’s purpose was to obtain terri
tory close to tho Pacific, and the Mexican pro
vinces .of Sonora and Lower California were
indica'ed as what lie had especially made up
his mind to obtain. The last accounts left the
French in possession ot the port of Guaymas,
in Sonora. The wedge has thus been driven
in—the remainder will follow at Napoleon’g
earliest convenience, lie has added largely to
the territorial wealth of France. Algeria, ex
tended and consolidated almost into a distinct
empire. Savoy annexed, as compensation for
having helped Victor Emanuel in the Italian
la'tles of 1860. 1,-lands iu the Pacific quietly
taken possession of without any regard to the
presumed proprietorship of other Powers.—
Territory conquered and French dominion es
tablished in Cochin China, and, to crown all,
the commencement of absorbing part of Mexi
co, on tho Pacific side. It has cost Fiance
over $60,000,000 to move in Mexican affairs }
but if Napoleon he conpensated for this
outlay by two such provinces as Sonora and
Lower California, or oven ono of therp, he has
negotiated miecessf l!y.
The Emigration Question. —We are pleased
to roa the earnest effort being made by snipe
of the journals and public men cf the South to
attract emigration ia this direction. Os couise
each journal endeavors to surpass its cotem
poraries in presenting a catalogue of at
tractions. Wo trust these tminratiou mpve
rnents will b 6 attended with success? iq all
quarters. The Soul h wili thus gain new life
and strength. Her great resources will be
developed. Her cities will grow in size and
population. Bxautiiul villages will be built
iu ail sections. The sound cf busy industry
will be heard throughout our borders. New rail
road projects will ba carried out. The fajilities
for traveling aud transportation increased.
In short, everything which tends to make a
country great aud prosperous will be developed
and improved.
Our recovery from the devastations and
losses of the war wili thus be greatly accelera
ted, and the increase of peculation from 1860
to 1870 may be greater than ever before,
notwithstanding the havee caused by the late
struggle. _____

THE MILITARY TRIAL—4MXTH DAY.
The military commission pa:- tabled at the
Council Chamber at 9& A. U. ye.- r 1: y.
After reading of pi evict s day’. Meuiisgs,
calling of the roll, &c , the Court proceeded
with the business before it.
The-witnesses sworn yesterday (all on the
part of the government) were F. A. Spang

rests of the accused pa the night of the 30ib
August; C. W. Frasier, colored) and David
Walton (colored )
The Judge Advocate announced that the ex
amination of witnesses on the part cf the pro
secution was now c’osed.
The counsel for the accused signified their
readiness to bring forward their witnesses— so
the defence wid open with their testimony to
day.
The Court adjourned to 9 o'clock this (Fri
day) morning.
SEVENTH DAY.
But very little busine.-s was transacted in the
court yesterday, tha session closing about 12 M.
It was supposed that the witnesses for the de
fence would be introduced, but instead there
were more brought forward on ihe part of the
Government, which consumed the time till ad
journment.
The witnesses sworn were Wm H inrv Blake
ly, (colored.) Ribert Buik-, (colored) and
Major John Rziba, formerly iu iho Austrian
service, as Engineer, who had drawn diagrams
of the premises where Capt. Heasley was IdHfed.
The Judge Advocate said he had no further
witnesses for the Government, as far as he then
knew.
The counsel lor the defence said they were
ready with their witnesses, whenever the pro
secution had entirely finished, and they did
not desire to introduce them before that time.
The Judge Advocate said he would take
until to-morrow (Saturday) morning to think
of it, and if .he had no more testimony to offer,
the deforce could open.
The court then adjourned to 9 this morning.
EIGHIH DAY.
The usual preliminary proceedings of the
court having been disposed of yesterday.
Geo. W. Thompson snd George Snowden, two
witnesses lor the government were severally
examined, when the Judge Advocate stated
that the prosecution now closed.
Charles J. Atwell was then called so the
stand nn the part of the deionce, and his testi
mony taken.
The interrogatories of the defendant’s coun
sel were propounded in writing, through the
Judge Advocate. This was the only witness
examined yesterday.
A number of witnesses for the defence are. so
be biought forward, and it is probable the
trial will last several days yet.
There was a larger attendance yesterday
than during several 'cf the previous days
There was no perceptible abatement in the
heat.
The defence expressed their readiness to in
troduce further witnesses, ‘but the hour of 2
o’clock having nearly arrived, the court ad
journed to Monday morning at 9 o’clock.
Hox A. H. Stephens am) Mu. Reagan. —The
Boston Journal informs vis that Vice President
Stephens and Post-Master General Reagan,
were offered the alternative of being released
j upon condition of leaving tho country never
to return, or remain in prison, and take the
chance of pardon by the government. They
made choice of the latter privilege to secure
the liberty which would be most agreeable to
their tastes, and hence their detention until
their cases are acted upon.

Organizing the House.—Some lime ago we
republished a letter written by Mr. Wendell,
Phillips, in which he exposed alarm lest the
Clerk of tbe House cf Representatives, Mr
McPherson, might admit members from ro or
ganized Southern States applying for admis
sion. It appears that the law governing tin
Clerk is as follows ;
The Clerk shall make a roll, and place there
on the names of alt persons, and of such per
sons only, whose credentials strew that they
were regularly elected, in accordance with the
laws,of tlieir States respectively, or the laws
of the United States [Slat, at Large, Vol. Xlf,
p 804.
It is stated (hat Mr. McPherson has given
his opinion on this as follows ;
“Ist. That no law of the United S-ates au
thorizes the election of representatives in any
of the insurrectionary States.
“2d. That no ‘law of tiny cf the States’ au-»
thorizo an election held at tie call of a ‘Pro
visional Governor’ and from which huge num
bers of legally recognized voters (the unsworn
rebels) are excluded.
Hew to Compute the L\c ~ue Tax. —Since tbe
publication ot toe income tax- list, there has
been considerable discussion as to th-? rate or
taxation and the amount cf the incomes of
those whose names appear in tho i t.. Some
persons who have not read the law, suppose
that five per cent, is the rate assessed upon a.i
incomes, without regard to the amount. This
is incorrect. The law requires that all in
comes over six hundred aud no; exceeding
five thousand dolJzis, shall be taxed at the rale
of five per cent , aud tbe excess over five
thousand at the rate of ten cent, if an
individual’s income be five thousand dollars
per annum, the six hundred dollars exempted
by law i. deducted, and tho remaining forty
four hundred assessed at the rate of five p-r
cent. It the income be tea thousand dollars
the rate wilt be five per cent, on forty four
hundred, and ten per cent, on the remaining
five thousand dollars.
