A DREADFUL STORY.

A. London correspondent of the. New Yorl
Commercial says that an awful system OF dc
pravity has lately been brought to light, it,
connection with what are called "buriai socie
tics"-a sort of subscription club, where, by the
pay ment of "A small! sum, weekly, an individual
can insure the means OF burying himself or any
member Of his family, in the event of death.
These "burial societies" are very numerous.
and the horrible fact has transpired that, on the
birth of child, its parents have frequently en-
tered its name on the books Of ten or twcnt,
difirren! societies, and then by allowing the
poor iufnnf to die from neglect, have realized
large sums from these societies, TOR the apparei
purpose of giving the child decent burial. It's
asserted that the sums realized in this way have,
in some instances, amounted to 40lbs or SOLIDS
thus literally making murder trade, and orIe's
own flesh and blood mere stock for the SHAMELESS

JUDGE ELLIoTr.-It has been falsely stated
that the degraded Louisiana Judge Elliott was a
Wing 1.-The was Wing, he deserved his pun
ishment the more for that very reason; but he
'oas not Wig at the period IF his committing
the offence, and had not been since he was APP
pointed judge. He ,oas once Wing, but
earned his judgeship by apostacy, one of the most
frequent roads to Office in this country--to the
disgrace of that country be it said. 1t is every
days spectacle to see men who desparing of pro-
motion from the party to which they were at
tached, affecting first to have doubts, then con-
viction, then conversion, and deserving the prin-
ciples which they had embraced in security, re-
ceve the thirty pieces as the reward Of their
treachery.
The New Orleans Tropic states it as fact
susceptible Of abundant proof, that it was not un-
til he had fallen from his high estate" and
turned traitor that Elliott was made Judge, and,
no doubt for the very reason that he had turned
traitor.-Rlchmond Wing.

WHO is RESPONSIBLE?

The Republic, paper in the Calhoun interest
in New York, says that the debt OF the Federal
Government in 1s4l, when the Wings came into
power, was $s,3sl 900; and that, in 1874, it
amounts to $26, 742, 900, showing an increase of
$1s,36l 900. Where then, he asks, ais the
economy and retrenchment promised by the re-
form party We think it incumbent upon the
Republic, and his Democratic friends, to answer
where. Every body knows that all connection
and confidence between the Wing party and the
Administration were severed in September, 1841,
since which time the President has looked for,
and found, his friends in the ranks of the De-
mocracy. His measures and his men have been
of the Democratic stamp How, then, are the
Wings responsible Have they not done all in
their power3 Have they not curiailed the Army,
and taken every practicable step towards re-
trenchment I? If the Wings are in any way re-
sponsible for the appropriations, they are not SO
for the estimates sent to Congress from the Ex-
ecutive Departments, which must, necessarily,
be consulted on such occasions. And who made
those estimates? Who but renegade Wings,
whom the Democracy have received with open
dIus, VI DeuioCIdls, VIII nave soHe mo the
Cabinet with the appreciation of their party 3
The attempt to hold the Wings responsible for
Tyler's Administration is preposterous, and can
impose upon no one. John Tyler to-day, enjoys
as much of the confidence of the so-called De-
mocratic party, as any one of its leaders who
aspire to be its head. He allows no Wing to
fill any respectable station under him, and, at
this moment, his hopes Of suPerseding Van
Buren, as the Locofoco candidate for the Presi-
dency, are neither feeble or ill-grounded. IL be-
hooves the Democracy, therefore, to tell where is
John Tylers economy and reform.
