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. Xirtlirr l-mi-r.

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.. CIIKSCENT. I.KTTKK mow MEM.It. cmet'iT cornT ix session jcdoe conn. 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.
