Wlii'ii cxeltedhuman imsslon uuri
the sway of reason, it is indeed difTi
cult, to say upon which side of any
question, wo erring mortals may lie
found. Call it “sympathy for the
wronged," “righteous indignation,”
“independence,” or what you will,
it. has boon thought wise to guar
antee us against the tyranny of pri
vate judgment, and accordingly wo
have secured to us our inalienable
inheritance, the law, with the right to
make the law-judging and the law
executing powers. Is it not a palpa
ble violation of every principle that
should govern law-abiding people, to
arrogate to ourselves the functions
of the entire legislative, judicial or
executive authority, and by word,
pen or sword, invade such guaranteed
rights of our fellow-citizens?
Carried away in sympathy by the
contemplation of the desolated home,
made so by the loss at his post of the
brave, true officer, dying in defenso of
law and order in the holy discharge of
duty, do we not outrage the law he
died defending in giving aid to add
other victims to lawlessness, under
pretense of vindicating him?
We have been led to these remarks
by hearing stigmatized as a murderer
und abettor of crime, a poor, grief
stricken, old man in another home.
Wo would not obtrude upon t he sanc
tity of private distress, but we write
to beg ut least a respectful silence for
thesorrows of this poor, silver-haired,
old gentleman. Living quietly in his
country home, beloved and respected
by all, at the latter end of his long,
honorable life, this trouble has come
upon him, bowing his head, and
crushing his heart. No one has the
right to encourage the terms of op
probrium heaped upon his innocent
head no right to taunt him, by giv
ing as one of the reasons of his terri
ble misfortunes, the blessings with
wiiieh Providence has rewarded his
diligence and industry no right to
wantonly insult his misery, and ma
liciously prejudge, and cause others
to prejudge, those dear to him. The
law is quite able to vindicate its own
majesty, and returns us no thanks
for our gratuitous interference in
its behalf. It is not manly to
heap abuse upon a prisoner, when, if
not in fetters, still with a charge
overhanging him, makes him loth to
resent an insult, which under other
circumstances would be repelled. Il
is not fair that the public should
prejudice a man and brand him as a
murderer before lie lias had even a
chance to vindicate himself before
the only human tribunal authorized
to say “guilty” or “not guilty.” Ev
ery man who takes another’s life is
not necessarily a murderer. There
are cases known to tiio law as being
purely self-defense, and it is wrong
to brand them all indiscriminately us
murderers. The highest evidence of
a man’s guilt or innocence is determ
ined by Him verdict of a jury. When
a jury has passed upon a ease, and
returned a verdict of not guilty, all
good citizens should acquiesce in the
verdict, for they have been selected
from the people, and in lieu of the
entire people, to try the ease. They
are our agents, as it were, and their
verdict should be and Is the law.
Fuom our New York exchanges we
learn that tho great Beeclier-Tilton
trial Is being submitted to a jury.
This case has elicited more comment
tlirvii any other in tho country, and
wo hope It is to be finally disposed of
by this jury. A satisfactory jury of
twelve men has been obtained after
three days’ examination; a jury, too,
with which the public as well as the
parties to tho issue ought to be satis
tied. There arc only two of them
who can. be said t,o belong to the dull,
indifferent class of jurymen, who
look upon the service as an imposi
tion und sullenly perform it. All the
rest are men of fair intelligence, as
revealed by their sensible and candid
answers to the questions of counsel.
Several of them frankly admitted
that they had had impressions one
admitted he had had opinions
which varied with each statement as
it appeared; but none betrayed any
trace of bias.
Bichaud B. Ibwin actually admits
that the largest sum lie paid to any
person i.i tho Pacific Mail bribery
was #275,000. The prices of these
Congressmen vary so that no fellow
can be certain of the quotations. In
the Credit Mobiller affair $2,000 was
considered a fair price. The Daweses
and tho Gartlolds and the Binghams,
etc,, were contented with that sum,
or thereabout. But if Irwin gave
#275,000 to one person, someone must
have had a “corner” in the Congres
sional market.
—lt is estimated that, out of 1,000,-
000 inhabitants, 14 commit suicide in
Siwin, 32 in the United States, 43 in
Belgium, GO in Sweden, 69 in Great
Britain, 73 in Bavaria, 94 in Norway,
190 In the Grand Duchy of Baden, lio
in Franco, 123 in Prussia, 128 in Han
over, 155 in Oldenburg. 150 in Lauen
burg, 159 In Mecklenburg, 173 in Hol
stein, 209 in Schleswig, 251 in Saxon v,
288 in Denmark, and sss in Saxe-Al
touburg. Of the occupations of these
suicides, it. is observed that 9 per cent,
belong to the agricultural classes, 13
per cent, to the tradesmen, 13 per
cent, to the merchants, 22 per cent, to
the professions, anil the remaining 11
percent, are without a settled oecu
i*atiou. It is remarked, in the same
connection, that warm and dry sea
sons are regarded as purtioulailv fa
vorable to the development of the
mania for suicide.

New Oiileanh, Jan. 9,1875.
Editor Daily Timm:
Perhaps a few lines from a well
wisher und Arm supporter of your en
terprise may not be umlss, I have
concluded to give you a few lines, so
iiero goes. First and foremost let me
call your attention to the fact that
tho recent exploits of the would-be
“Little Corporal,” the great Grant
made Phil Sheridan is the all-absorb
ing theme of street chat in our city.
But for the forbeareneo of the
citizens and a firm determination
tion on the port of the entire conserv
ative community to avoid a general
disturbance und npriaingof tho mass
es, ere now you would have heard of
scenes of bloodshed which would
have called to mind the re-enactment
of the bloody drama of the French
Devolution. Nothing, but a firm res
olution on the part of the Democratic
and Conservative element in this
dty, to lcavo no measures untried to
prevent a general uprising of the
masses against tyranny and oppres
sion in its worst form, lias boon the
means of avoiding a conflict that
would have reddened with human
blood tie- streets of this fair city.
Our grievances arc many, our burdens
hard to bear, and yet wo have sub
mitted with resignation and forbear
unco which has no equal in these
duys of Badical re-construction and
progressive moral-puritanized ideas.
No one but. the All-wise knows the
suffering of this people—our rights
trampled in tho dust with impunity,
our liberties at the mercy of a tyrant
and dospotut whose name even Nero
might well blush in shame. Well may
we exclaim in despair, “O Lord, how
long” are these tilings thus to con
tinue? We feel and know that our
burdens and troubles Und that sympa
thy and kind feeling in tho Southern
heart for which it is proverbial, and
while wo neither advocate or coun
sel any rash or precipitate measures
against the “powers that be” yet we
must say tho time has come when
some legitimate check, some effleae
oious restraint, must be placed
against (Ids usurpation and tyranny,
which has well nigh supjied the very
foundation of republican government
In our boasted free America. In view
of the present unsettled state of
affairs in our city and the consequent
anarchy, it is rumored that the ap
proaching Mardi Gras festival, to
which every true lover of the Cres
cent City turns with pride and joy,
has been postponed. The old coup
let, “hope deferred luakcth the heart
sick,” finds a responsive chord in
every true lover of liberty in lids
Grant-,Sheridan ridden -State; yet we
are willing to go before the country
upon our merits and the justice of
our cause, and leaving the matter to
the intelligence and patriotism of our
countrymen, North, South, East and
West, and to the guidance of Him
“who doetli all things well,” wonwait
the final result with that calmness,
dignity and resignation which only
the true patriot can feel.
There is a large crowd in the city,
doubtless drawn hero by tho existing
state of affairs, yet all is quiet and
peaeealdc, no Indication or desire
whatever for any disturbance. The
St. Charles is so crowded that there
is scarcely sleeping room for the tre
mendous crowd, who have congregat
ed here to witness the degrading
sight of U. S. soldiers, clothed in na
tional uniform, fixed bayonets and
loaded muskets, to put in office, upon
ft free and loyal people, a set of
worthless adventurers and ignorant
negroes, whom the people in the ma
jesty of their rights and liberties
have rejected at the ballot box, tho
palladium of our rights and rep übli
ean Institutions.
Wishing you and your enterprise
all the success and prosperity that
journalism can achieve, and that you
may never fall upon such 77me. ns
curse this oppressed State,
1 am very truly yours. Are..

Seale, Ala., Jan. 12, 1875.
Editor Daily Times : The Circuit
Court for Bussell county met here
yesterday morning, Judge Cobb pre
siding, and Mnj. Waddell, Solicitor.
This is a special term held by au
thority of the Legislature, to dispose
of tlie many eases which were loft on
the docket by Judge Strange. While
that official was on the bench busi
ness accumulated,and ho \va. so slow
that in a few more years it would
have taken a six months’ court to
clear the docket. Tho criminal dock
et was first in order. On this docket
there are one hundred and twenty ea
ses, thirty of whom are in jail, the
balance under bond and out on their
own recognizance. Three murder
eases stand for trial. Next in order
is the civil business. All seem hope
ful, and are delighted with the new
Judge, who brings to the bench emi
nent fitness as a judicial officer. Un
der Ids charge the docket will soon
be cleared, and order resumed.
Every man l meet wants your im
pel’, and if you will send an agent
here you can secure the subscription
of nearly every man in the county, as
all lmil with joy your paper, lifting
its head in defence of civil liberty,
and breathing freedom of thought.
Go ahead, and may you live to have
the support of every man in 50 miles
of Columbus. BespeetTy,
' Seale.
Fifty-four generals’ widows draw
pensions from the United States. A
correspondent of the Chicago Post
says; “When the pension paid tlie
widows of brigadier generals, SSO a
month, was offered the widow of
brave Gen. Meade, I am told she very
emphatically declined to receive it,
because it was less than that paid
Mrs. President Lincoln. Of all the
women who served in the war in va
rious capacities, only one was pen
sioned for physical disabilities, and
that was Mrs. Isabella Fogg, of
Maine, who was seriously injured by
a fall in Louisville, while engaged in
hospital work. She died last sum
mer.
The New York Tribune, comment
ing on Sheridan’s dispatch and that
portion of it In which he characterizes
the good people of New Orleans as
“Banditti,” says;
“Who then are the real "banditti”
in Louisiana, fulfilling every defini
tion of tho word? They are the men
who have stolen the offices, tho pub
lic improvements, and the revenues
of tile State; wiio have made and
widened tho breach between the races;
who have added a score of millions to
the public debt, and have nothing but
lying messages, “cooked” financial
reports, and their own suddenly ac
quired riches to show bow the in
crease has lice a appropriated; who,
under pretense of being the friends of
tho poor negro, have by legislation
inimical to tho property interests of
the Stutc brought down Ills wages to
a starvation figure; who have impos
ed upon the people a judiciary noto
riously corrupt, and petty executive
officers partisan, ignorant, and de
praved ; who have contrived the most
Ingenious methods of depriving the
State of its duly elected officers, and
when these failed to accomplish the
purpose, did not hesitate to put
themselves above law, and on a
basis of misrepresentation invoke
the sword to maintain their
usurpation, demanding the lives
of tlieir victims to make easy
their road to continuance in power.
These men the real “banditti”- are
Kellogg, Packard, Beckwith, and the
rest of the “ring” who are running
the usurping Government in Louis
iana, and who have enlisted Presi
dent Grant, a part of his Cabinet, and
a few influential members'of Con
gress, in support, of their effort to 1
perpetuate their stolen lease of power. ;
The people do not ask that these
“banditti” be declared such by a
proclamation of the President or act
of Congress; nor yet that they be
turned over to Lieutenant-General j
Sheridan to bo tried by drum-head
court-martial, and dealt with accor
ding to military law. But in the pro
tests now arising from Governors |
and Legislatures, and mass meetings
of indignant citizens, they do ask ;
that civil law be allowed to assume
its old supremacy, that the men who
have tried to throttle the sovereignty ,
of a Stale be rebuked, that the duly!
elected officers of Louisiana, whether i
executive or legislative, be allowed to
take their seats in peace, and that
the few courts in Louisiana left un
polluted by the usurpation lie intrus
ted with the eases of those who have
offended against her laws or of those
of the United States.
*;tlmtm Culture In I.miMana.
The project of introducing tHe eul-;
turn of salmon in Louisiana waters;
has already assumed a definite shape,
and wo have to chronicle the arrival j
in this State, on Friday, of Messrs, j
H. J. Brooks and G. It. Jerome, of j
Michigan -of the United States Fish
Commission—with 15,000 California j
salmon, two months old, hatched in
Michigan, which were placed in the
Tangipahoa river at Amite.
In about three years the fish will
be grown to average from eight to
fourteen pounds, and thereafter the I
supply will be constant—tlio condi
tion precedent thereupon being the |
passage of legislative enactment pro
viding for the protection of the cul
ture of the fish.
Although salmon culture lias been
introduced in Texas in December
the event here recorded marks the
initial attempt in tills State, and its
occurrence is due to t lie efforts of Mr. :
John B. Isn't, and Ids correspond
ence with Prof. S. I*’. Baird, of the J
Smithsonian Institute. Times.

Tin- Cost ol 1.0 ins-.
Tim Baltimore San compiles from a
late issue of the Massachusetts Labor
Rt'ltorl the following interesting stn- 1
tisties in regard to the comparative j
cost of living in America and Europe : j
“One dollar will buy twenty pounds;
of flour in Boston, one or two pounds j
more in several European seaports, '
but the same or considerably less in a ,
majority of the places compared. In
Boston one dollar will buy a little
over five and a half pounds of fresh
beef, roasting piece. In no place in
England will it buy so much bv a
pound or more, and in Europe still
less,Copenhagen 1 icing the only place
given where it will buy more. Butter
in Europe averages a pound more to
a dollar than here;, cheese less by
more than that except in a few spots'.
As for potatoes they are cheaper here
than in England, and dearer than in
Ireland or Germany. Seven or eight
pounds of imik for a dollar are sold
here, and not much over half as much
can be attained for that sum in Eng
land or Europe, and nowhere us
much. In rice, milk and eggs they
have the advantage of us. Tea costs
less here than in England, but more
tlm.il on the Continent. With coffee
it is about the same, though the dif
ference is little. In sugar the British
are a little better off, the Continentals
a good deal worse. Coal is cheaper
lure than in Germany, and dearer
than in England. Morriuinc or com
mon prints are cheaper here than
anywhere in England or Europe.
Boots are about the same here as
there, generally speaking. There are
but two or three places in England or
tlie Continent where brown sheetings
are cheaper than here, while in brown
shirtings the foreigners are better off.
Bent for four-roomed tenements is
from two to four times cheaper in
Great Britain and on the Continent
than in Boston; in Austria fifteen
times cheaper. Board is also from
once and a half to twice as cheap in
Europe and Great Britain as in Bos
ton. These comparisons of prices will
apply to Baltimore and other Ameri
can cities us well as to Boston, and
show that the workingman can live
better ou the same means almost
anywhere in this country than he eaa
in Great Britain, as well as many oth
er parts of Europe. Laborers may
and do live on less money expendi
ture in Europe than in this country,
but do not live nearly so well as they
do here. Good meat is a litxun with
most working people in Europe.”
A Chinese newspaper, published at
Shanghai, is opposing vigorously the
scheme for constructing railways in
the empire. It asserts that trains on
railroads attain such a rate of speed
that travel in them is unsafe; and
adds, furthermore, that, as they “go
even faster than a thoroughbred
horse, people walking on the lines will
have no time to get out of the wav."
These comments of the Shanghai
newspaper are quoted in an English
journal and made merry over, as they
deserve ; but t here is one count in fa
vor of tlie Chinese paper which the
English journal fails to observe,
namely : That it has done what a fa
mous English review did. When
George Stephenson was struggling
with public opinion, one of the most
prominent of the English magazines
said that a traveler might as well be
fired off on a Congreve rocket as to
go at the rate of speed proposed by
tho engineer. The Chinese newspa
per is ridiculous, but if in possession
of back numbers of the English
quarterlies, it would quote what it
now produces originally.

was in the army, my child.”
