He was found lying uncon scious ou a sofa in his office, and died within three-quarters of an hour after wards. lie was a son of Judge John Hchley of Richmond comity, and waa in the 67th year of his age. Several of hia relatives livo in Columbus. An Alabama oxchnuge is very mad about the “Ku-Klux" breaking into tho jail at Opelika and roleuMug u prisoner. Well, it was an unlawful act, and wo fear it will havo a bud effect. Rut you hoc prisoner was bold by tho Federal authori ties, and could not bo “loleaaod on own rooognizAUoo,” and we suppose that tho deluded men who took him from tho juil thought thut State and Federal pris oners ought to be treated alike. It was a misguided act, but tho authorities of Alu- batua may rost assured that laxity in pun ishiug crime in sonio instances will nones surily ouuourngo opposition to its punish mont in other instances. Ollt MF.CHAMCN. One of our most rospocted citizens, himself a skilled mechanic, called to mind, a tew days siiico, a fuot that had cupod our memory as to tlie necessity for oducated mechanics. F.nglund, for more than a century, 1ms controlled not only tho uommerco, but tho workshops of the world, and her skilled artisans could < maud positions in nay part of tho world whoro trained labor was needed. Much to England’s surprise and mortification, however, sho found at tho l'avia Exposi turn of '(57 that Gormany and Americc carried oft’ the palm in (huso productions for which Rrituiu had long been ooloh ted, und of which uho lmd boon thinking herself tiro undisputed monopolist, great was the surprise at tho decisions of tho judgoN, which were nokuowlodgod to be impartial, that Parliament appointed a oommittee to enquire into tho cause, and after six mouths' careful investigation tho committee reported that the dofieionoy iu tho English moohanio was his want of eduoation. He was simply au imitator, not an improver or iuvontor, and could not oompare iu skill or iutolligouoo with tho educate! and montally independent mechanics of Germany ami the Uuitod States. At onco schools were established, and every menus taken to raiso tho stand ard of skilled labor and do for hor arti sans what in cumpnlsoiy in Prussia, and a matter of necessity und choice iu Amor- “LIFE IX OTHER WORLDS.” This is the subject of another highly interesting locturo by Prof. Richard A. Proctor, the eminent English astronomer, delivered in Now York on Saturday last, and published in tho Tribune of Monday. Like all of his lectures on, such subjects, it abounds with novel and striking ideas —bold hypotheses, that sot aside former settled conclusions of astronomers and geologists with as liltlo rooognition aud respect as if they had never been ad vanced. If tho obain of ascertained or inferential facts, or even of plausible reasoning, by which Prof. Proctor sup ports his theories, wore only consistent and well linked, wo might bo oonvincod well as dazzled by his innovations. Rut to the unscientific mind, much of Prof. Proctor’s reasoning seems to bo inconsistent aud many of his analogies faulty. It is our purpose, iu presenting to our readers a few of the points of this lecture, to cull attention to some apparent inconsistencies which havo to be recon ciled boforewo can accept his conclusions as more plausible than the conjectures (for they amount to but little more after all; of otbor scientific men. Tho Professor cites tho known or infer red conditions of each planot of our sys tem, successively, and oomos to the con- elusion that none of thorn are now inhab ited except our Earth. Morcury aud Ve nus, he thinks, are too hot, because of proximity to the Sun; our Moon is cold, booauso of tho exhaustion of its hermit bent consequent npon its diminu tive size ; Mars is too cold, boenuso of its distance from the Sun ; und Jupiter and Hatnrn aro too hot, hecuuso their great size conduces to tho long retention of thoir inherent bout, which is yet too groat for human lifo. Tho reudor will obsorvo that hero four ditforont conditions or states, each operating upon individual plauets to unlit thorn for animal oxistenco. Theso condi tions aro—1st, too imioli heat from prox imity to tho Sun ; 2d, cxhaUBtiou of in herent heat from the small size of tho planet; .'Id, too much cold from remote- uohh from the Sun ; and 4th, too much iu- herenl heat preventing life, oven though the planots with this condition arc far more remote from the Sun than Mars, who is too cold. It is at once up parent that thoro is an ingenuity in tho adapta tion of these ditferout conditions to a common conclusion or theory, thut is moro wonderful than convincing. Lot us see if wo cannot, by a moro common application of these sovoral con ditions, show that the learned Professor’s lesions in iudividuul cases are ns spo- s as thoy are spoeiul. Mercury, like Moon, is a small planet, aud if wo jump to tho conolusiou thut tho Moon, hoonuso of its small size, has exhausted its inherent boat, why should wo not con clude thut Morotiry has also exhausted his und therefore requires a much grontor amount of Run heat to make him inhabit able than our Earth requires? Aud so in the case of Vouus, whieh Prof. P. says receives twice as much Sun heat as the Earth does, aud is thoroforo uninhabit able. Vouus, too, is smaller than tho Earth, aud according to tho Professor’s own theory of tho exhaustion of inherent heat iu proportion to sizo, she must have lost about enough inhorout boat to oom- peusato for the greater amount impnrted by the Sun. Venus shows signs of mosphoro and of twilight, ns Professor Proctor tells us. Sho appears to bo on veloped in a tuist or cloudy cauopy, at other astrouomors have long sinco told us. Now what is thoro to show tho reasonableness of tho suggestion that this mist or heavy atmosphere may itself temper tho Sun's heat os to make it endu rable to humau life on Tho general judgment of astrouomors is that our Moon is not inhabited,beoauHo thoy can soo no Bigus of an atmosphere, clouds and wator, as thoy aud Mars.

SPRINGER’S OPERA HOUSE! generation to generation. Now, if suppose the temperature of Venus in her equatorial belt to bo twice as high as that of the E<<rti) in her corresponding belt, iu it not still very reasonable (may wo not say almost unavoidable ?) to conclude that her polar regions are no warmer than tho Earth's equatorial, and therefore as well adapted to human lifo ? So of Mars —if in his frigid zones, or oven in those corresponding in location to our temper ate, tho cold is too intense for human lifo, is it not still a plausible supposition that tho regions abont his equator are fully as warm as those of our Greenland or Bpirtz- borgen? Prof. Proctor sayu that science knows that there aro bodies of watar, an atmosphere, storms, rain, sunshine and clouds ou Mara—knows it as cortainly as had scut some ono there to bring us back a pint of wutor to analyze. It also knows that the extent covered by snow Mars’ wiuter is much greater than tho extent covered by it in his summer, on each hemisphere. Now if thoro aro re gions never covered by snow—if snow ac cumulates in the winter and melts in the summer—are those proofs of such inteuse cold as to be unendarable by human life ? Is it not more reasonable to suppose that where snow melts and rain falls there is temperature suitable for humau life Would not our Greenlander, transported to Mars’ equator, probably find himself warm enough for comfort in his thick covering of skins ? and on tho other baud, would not our Ceutral Africans, with tho asHistanco of a scant wardrobe aud plenty of ice, be able to endure (he tomperaturo at Venus’ pole, moderated by the misty envelop of that beautiful planet? One would naturally suppose that, hav ing passed by Morcury und Venus on which tho Sun host is ,too great for hu man life, the Earth just suited to it, aud then Mars which is too remote from the Sun, we would have hoard heat preventing animal lifo on planets still farther from tho centre of our sys tem. Rut tho Professor finds plauets Jupiter and Saturn inherent heat ' sufficient to prevent life ; he finds them 1 “still glowing with ruddy surfaces,” with Higns of great internal activity. Ho fiuds also that Jupiter is periodically swept by > furious hurricanes, tho powor of which j would not only “sweep lifo away," but . “destroy all buildings aud ships and tear j down the forosts,” if any existed.

Tho difference of temporaturo in dif ferent latitudes on onr Earth, and ou Veuus aud Mars, seems to havo been altogether iguored iu reaching this con clusion. A consideration of them will Hurvo to show in what vastly different de grees of temporaturo not only tbe lowor animal life, but man ulso, may exist aud flourish.
