Il Hard Hit.

The National lntaliigeneer, in passing eui1gy upon the manner In which Mr. Fillmore has been administering the affairs Of the natioa ladnlged in the following remarkable allason:
 '' Ills able and patriotic management Of public affairs wltl constitute one Of the brightest leaves ln the administrative history of the nation. T6e slap 2f State i1uS HeGy7Hg J sAe not already a,soag the breakers; the storm-cloud, collected by the fell spirit of anat.clSm and sectoaaliSn, hung darkty and portentousiy over the destinies of the country, when, extraordinary uisitatioa of Prori- deaee, he was called to plot her"
 This IS remarkable It is truthful aeknowl- edgemeni which few wing journals have had the courage 10 make, and winch no democratic j0ur- nals could make without calling down the censn-e ot the opponent party. Gen. Taylor, 1t as much as says, mad charge of the ship of State, and had run her among 60 the breakers' e By an extraor- dinary visitation of Providence" Gen Taylos aras relieved of the helm, and Mr. Fillmore was called to pilot her," and just ln time to save her from being wrecked This IS literal rendering of the sentence, and undoubtedly the genuine meaning of it.
 It is true, too The administration of Gen. Taylor was not oaly failure but It was the most miSchlevous and weak one since the organization of the government. What t would have become, had Providence not come t0 the relief of the na- ton, to save 1t from the mischiefs into which the whlg party aad involved H. we can oaly eonjectare; but that thls {" ertraorEaaTy nisltatlaa of Prom asnce." overriding the counSels of the wings re- suited in saving the nation from grave dangers, and probably anarchy, we are not permitted to doubt.

EnhItnan Cruelty of a. Step
Neither.

Polly Olmstead has been found guilty of
the murder, by slow cruelties, of her own
step-child, in Illinois,
at appears that Olmstead ma arried again in
about three weeks after the death of his first
wife--at which time the child was about five
years old. This was about eighteen months
ago. Soon after the marriage the new wife
confined the little girl in the kitchen, and
there kept her most of the time tied, and with
out fire. In this situation she was forced to
remain up to the time of her death; having no
food allowed her except half pint of coffee
or milk and piece of cold corn bread every
day.
No bed-covering was allowed her in any
weather further than single scanty quilt
! This fendish woman often amused herself by
beating the child in the most outrageous man.
ner, and on one occasion compelled another
child to choke her until she was black in the
face. She continually forced her to eat rot
ren fruit and vegetables of various kinds, to-
gether with other filth which it would not be
seemly to describe. Sometimes she would
fasten the little creature under the kitchen
floor and leave her there for hours. Other
details were given which are too shocking for
publication. The poor little sufferer often
wished herself dead. On one occasion she
escaped from the kitchen and was seen trying
to climb a pole which stood in the yard
Upon being asked where she was going, she
replied that she was going up to the other
world to see her mother. The heartless step
mother ordered her down with curses, and
the trembling little creature fell, in her weak
ness, her head striking violently against the
wall Of the kitchen.
The jury found the woman guilty of man.

service in the State Prison.

JeWisll CustOm--Am Interesting
Case.

The Philadelphia Ledger describes an in
teresting case at law which was commenced
on Tuesday before Judge KING, in the Court
of Common Pleas of that city. 1t is feign-
ed issue, joined between p. s. ROWLAND, the
the plaintiff, and HARRIS COLEMAN and IsA-
BELLA his wife, defendants, to determine the
question whether former husband of Isabel
la, who was the plaintiffs brother, was in
debted to the plaintiff at the time ofhis death
in lS4O. The plaintiff was the executor of
| the will Of his brother, Mrs. Coleman's first
husband, and claimed balance of two or three
thousand dollars remaining in his hands after
paying the debts of the deceased, as part of
certain advances made by him to the deceased,
amounting in all to about $4,000.
But the money matters (says the Ledger
are not the most interesting features in this
| case. The widow, and the Jewish law, still
partly in force here, form the most attractive
points to the general reader. After the ac-
connts of the deceased brother had been set
tied by the plaintiff, the widow refused to al.
him to appropriate the balance to the payment
of his claim for advances, and several lawsuits
were the consequence. But she, some time
afterwards, became desirous of changing her
widows weeds for bridal garland, and the
! consent of her deceased husbands brother,
the plaintiff, became necessary to the consum-
nation of her wishes. Under the old Jewish
dlspensaton, widow, who had no children
by her first husband, was bound and had
right to demand the hand dffler late husbands
brothers in marriage, commencing with the
Oldest, and going through the whole colIate-
raj line not previously engaged or disposed OF.
If the brothers refuse the widow in marriage,
she has the privilege of taking off shoe from
the refusing gentleman's foot, and what is
very indelicate in lady, to be sure, of spit
ting in his face, and declaring, in the language
of the law, "here is a man who refuses TO
build up his brothers. house, A difficulty
now presented itself. The brother would
neither marry the widow himself, nor con-
sent to marriage with any one else, unless
she would admit his claim to the balance in
question. The widow, of course, was anx-
ious to bestow her hand upon Mr. Coleman,
and after several disputes and interviews,
admitted the plaintiffs claim to obtain his as
sent thereto. After her marriage, however.
she took legal advice on the subject, and the
present suit was the consequence She de-
nles the validity of release, extorted from
her under the circumstances above narrated.
and, with her husband, claims the balance
remaining in the hands of the plaintiff, as ex.
ecutor cf the will of her late husband
The case will probably occupy several days.
Messrs. w. L. Hirst, w. B. Reed, and St.
George I. Campbell appear as couseI for the
plaintiff, and Messrs. J. Mcintyre, David paul
Brown, and George NJ Dallas forthe defen-
dants

Free Banking.

Under properly restricted free bank
ing law, safer system of banking may
be produced. Now bank may or may
not be good. No one knows. As long
as they have public confidence all is well,
but we are constrained to believe that if
this is withdrawn, one half of the banks
in Pennsylvania would make bad failures
and note holders would lose heavily
Under free banking, every note holder
knows there is 500 for every 800 of notes
in circulation, if good stock security, of
selling at par in the market. This secu-
rity will always be as good and saleable
as Real Estate itself According to the
old system, banks are only required to
have 33a cents of specie in their vaults
for 81 of notes in circulation, but some
of them at this time have not half or fourth
the law requires. Under the free bank
ing, they are required to have 20 cents
on the dollar. In this they can obey or
not as under the present system. A free
banking system should be limited in 60
ing into operation, so that currency
would not be increased more than Ole or
two millions in one year. This would
prevent imitation. There can be no safer
or more rational system of banking than
that which gives good stock security, and
why should it not be adopted in prefer
ence to an increase of banks under the
present system, we cannot for the life of
us imagine. There is only one feature
which bears against it in the minds of all
those opposed to State indebtedness
When stocks are made the basis of bank
ing, it acts as preventive of paying off
that Indebtedness. It creates strong
influence in favor of creating indebted
ness, so as to produce stocks, and will
perpetuate them. While it does this, how
ever, they may be made the means of
revenue to the State, to aid the payment
of interest, and thus lessen the burden of
direct taxation. We observe some exceed
ingly verdant comments in newspaperdom
on this subject, and judging from appear
ances,we apprehend the question will give
but little trouble to the coming Legisla-
ture.-POttStOarn Ledger.
