Let those who lavished their abuse upon our late
Chief Magistrate, during his life, and have not
yet ceased TO rampe upon his ashes, read the fol-
lowing extract from funeral discourse delivered in
Philadelphia, by the Rev. Mr.. Bethune, and blush
that they still continue disturb the solemn silence
of the tomb:

that struggled most against bis rise can look down up

which Mr. Croswcll would have been entitled TO
charge and Of course would have charged for the same
work, passed the house although the ocofocos were
so avcrse to placing the prices charged by Cromwell and
Weed in juxtaposition, that they voted against their
Plele vindcaion Mr.. Weeds of repeated assertion
that Croswells profits state printer were over
THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS per annum. This asser-
ton Croswell repeatedly and most sirenously denied

Total,

The dsproporion between males and females may
be partly accounted for by the reluctance prosecute
females.
A comparative statement is made of the number Of
convictions IN courts Of record for the eleven years
commencing with 1880 and ending with 1910, with a
classification of the crimes and the number of conyc-
tons IN each year. for each offence OF assaults and
batteries grand and petit larceny and riots of various
kinds, there has been regular increase; while the
convictions for forgery and perjury have regularly
diminished in number. This fact contradcts some
theories on the subject, apd is also different from
the results given in similar in France and
England.
It appears that in $780, when the population of the
State was ,9l9 ,i04, there were 0j9 con yctions
which gives one conviction for SIP persons.
In 1910, when the population was 432 s35 there
were 333 CONVICTIONS which gives conviction for
/ 81 persons.
As the rs returns probably not as full as those
Of later years this comparison may be perfectly
curate.
The returns Of the sherfs show the number CON
sictei of each offence, during 1870 the sexes of the
consicts their ages, their social relations places of
birth, degree Of education and Of religious instruction
their habits in relation 10 the use Of LIQUOR and ether
details. The whole number TO which the returns OF
the shcrihs relate, is 006 being 217 less than the
number returned by the clerks because many persons
do not become the subjects OF the sherifis reports

Ie spirits Of glory, come at your call
Fly away through the azure in triumph, my soul
Through systems unnumbeI'd in freedom 10 roam
fe spirits of glory, come oh, come
Columbia my country | bid thee adieu-
When peace, all in tears from thy boundaries flow,
When the mnons Of despo,s thy eagle would chain.
And Thy sons with their blood purchasd freedom
This heart ov'd thee still, and this arm drew the
blade,
And the gallant defenders in battle arrayed
And yet though this heart shall be pressd BY the sod
The soul shall look down from the dwelling Of God
Shall watch DER thee ever, and of breathe prayer
That the sky of thy fate may for be fair
Through the vista of ages thy destiny trace,
Down the swift stream of Time thy glorious race
Fill the earth from the north 10 the balm breathing
south,
And thy name break in raptures from every mouth;
And the stars and the stripes free in the wind
And futter in triumph from every strand
Columbia my country FOR ever FAREWELL
Yet when glory is round thee, remember me still
The song died sadly on the ear,
The warriors soul had pa.s'd away,
The glIitering cohou chang'd 10 air
And silence held her lonely sway
Fast wand the night, and down the west
The moon in coudless splcndor roll'd:
Bright PhGhus crimsond all the east
And ungd the mountain tops with gold
This, morn bright to other shores,
But DER Coiumbia's broad domain
wall Of solemn sadness poors,
A nation chants the funeral song.
The passing breeze scarce dared to wave
The half-mast flag, sad sign Of wo-
From thousand towers the locsn gave
The uournfol kneli, all clear and slow,
And holy tears dimm'j many an eye
And cypress Jroopd from many hand
And many bosom heavd sigh
throughout the sorrow stricken land.
