he offer to such an applicationi What |
knowledge has he Of woman's wiles, that
should enable him to Withstand her importu-
nitiesl None, whatever; the FIRST time the |
apron was raised to wipe away the tears4
which were not shed, his resolution would !
disappear, the petition would be granted and !
the pardon signed. The Penitentiary wo'd |
soon be desolate and deserted place, and |
society would be deluged by aninundation Of
rascals. We hope the people will pause
before they confer the pardoning power on
one who isso certain, from bis unfortunate
want of experience and knowledge, to use it
SO injuriously to the community. .-J
IMPORrAsr Decision. The Court in Bank
on Monday made decision that is we'll e.
nough to consider or remember. II settled
the principle that under our law any pe,son
can, after the lapse OF six months from the
time Of the payment, sue for, in action OF
debt, and in his otCn name, and recover any
moneys that have been won, on an election.
The loser has six months to recover back his
money. II he fails to do so in that time,
any other person may sue for and put the
cash in his own pocket. This is now the
law. We say it is right. Betting on cleo
tions is great evil. and if it is generally
known that any body can sue for & recover
money won, it will do more than anything
else to check this practice. We hope the
press will call attention to this decision -
Let the great evil be put down with strong
hand.-O. 8. Jour. 5. sa rt>s
We will pass it along, but to say that the
law is right is another question. We never
saw the propriety of giving the informer the
half or whole or any part Of a fine. It's an
inducement to practice very unholy passions
in nine cases out of ten. We think laws
can be executed without the aid Of this prin-
ciple. 1t is much better in all such cases to
make it the special duty of some officer to
bring all guilty of violation OF law before
the propertribunal. 7-

TRAGIC OccURREEcE.-The Philadelphia
PublicLedger gives the following melanchol-
ly account Of the death Of little girl, in the
town Of pittsgrove, New Jersey:
A little boy, only four years Of age, SIT an
gled his sister, under the following circum-
stances; the child, a day or two previous,
had asked his father to explain to him the
modus operandi of hanging, and the parent
to crafty the childish wish, unconscious OF
the sad consequences Of his Indulgence, took
from his pocket a handkerchief, and, unfor-
tunately, explained to the little COY the
manner in which it was done; the child
initiative as most children are, took the ear
lest opportunity to put in practice the less
! on received by his father, and takinga cord
he fastened il around his sisters neck, as il
lay in the cradle,and attaching the other end
to knob on the canopy of the cradle, lefi
the child suspended by it, which, when found
| BY the parents, was str4Dgscd TO death
These sad lessons should be a warning to
parents against allowing children TO be
listeners on such occasions os was this little
boy; no doubt the subject of conversation
was the han9ng Of Treadway, at which the
childwas suffered to hear every thing thai
was said, and lis young mind depraycd by "A
recital of murder and death. ,...
SINGULAR EFFECT OF AN EARrHQUAKE.--

ed prodigies," the number of deaths from

hours in the streets, in the damp morning
air, felt no return OF their sickness.

down what little Protection now exists.
