DisREsrEcT FOR THE LAws.-The Albany State
Register, in speaking of the Christiana tragedy,
uses the following just and forciblo language:
"There is manifest from day to day an alarming
tendency to anarchy and confusion in this Republic
of ours That is evidently the danger to which
our institutions are exposed, and which may not
be overlooked or despised. And not the worst fea-
ture of it is, that there in midst multitude
openly and untringly teaching and promulgating
doctrines which strike directly at the foundations
of our Government and Of society. There is the
New York Tribune, one day praisng the morality
OF atheists, on another defying the Government to
execute the laws of the land and every day preach
ing Fourierism, land reform, with host of other
crudities, and endeavoring to loosen the pillars of
the social fabric. Alongside of 1t is the Independ
ant, protesting 10 speak in the name of God and
Christianity, desecrating the divine mantle of
religion, by using it as cloak for unhallowed
fanaticism, stirring up seditlon, preaching re-
sistance to the laws, and rebellion against the
Union. Here we have o-laborer which has
openly denounced the Constitution of our country
can atrocious bargain" while scattered around
are plenty of echoes. In pseudo religious con-
yentions the iulhment of constitutional obliga-
tons has been denounced with Pharisaic gravi-
ty. Ministers of the Gospel, and protested follow
ers of Him who commended to his disciples meek
ness and lowliness, profane the sacred pulpit by
hurting fierce anahemas at half their fellow cit
zens, and thanking God that they themselves are
not such wicked sinners those they condemn.
In political gatherings, conventions, and on the
corners of the streets, in form another, dis
obedience to the laws and resistance to lawful au-
thority have been for time past discussed and
approved-sometimes in the shape of anti-rent
outrages, at others in the form of armed expedi-
tons against our peaceful neighbors, but oftenest
under the guse OF resistance to the Fugitive Slave
law; striking, in fact, at the integrity and vitality
of the Constitution. The wind has been sown, and
we are beginning to reap the whirlVind. Consti-
tutions, systems, and society rocked to and
fro, and loosened from their bases. Religion is
tending to inhdelity and fanaticism. Mobs assume
the prerogatves of courts Of JUSTICE and the
tive arm is weakened. Murder and outrage stalk
abroad. Treason, which has been long preached
self in overt acts.

IMPORTANT DEcIsIoN-Judge Kane, of the cir
cult court of the United States in Philadelnha in
the case involving the interests of Detniore u.s.
Reeves, Ia case which has claimed the attention of
every iron master in the country,~ has decided
against the plaintiff, who is the assgnee of Mr.
Won Faber Du Faur, who claimed TO have invented
a new process OF drawing off from blast furnaces
the waste combustible gases, and using them as
fuel in reverberatory or other furnaces The de-
iendant asserted that beyond his particular appa-
ratns for burning the gases the assignee of the
plaintiff had no right whatever and that they (the
deicndants) really only used the gases in a way
known and practised long ago, even as far back as
1911. As large majority the furnaces ofthe Uni
ted States, numbering in all between five and six
hundred, use some notifications of this plan, either
to boat their boilers TO heat the blast il will
be seen that, at the plaintiffs price for licenso,
$4,000 per furnace the case involved much moro
than bali million of dollars. The court dismissed
the motion for an injunction and so decided in fn
vor Of the defendant, or in other words the public
at large.
