GARIBALDI-We would not be understood
as impugning the course of other great patriots
of the European revolution Of lS4S, when we
say that that of Garibaldi, the noble Italian, ia
worthy Of the highest commendatlon. Carl
baldi, III. 1921 was obliged to flee tr m Genoa,
his liberal opinions having caused him to con-
meet himself with the revolution of 1921, OF
which Carbonari was hero. He went TO Brazil,
and became merchant. There he became
acquainted with resident Italian liberals, joined
the liberal party of Montevideo, and was com
missioned |; general. Thence he returned to
Italy, and in the struggle of lS4S was as much
the generalissimo of the people as Kossuth
ever was in Hungary. After the fall of Rome,
he passed through hair s-breadth escapes to
save himself from the Austrians. Out of
large number Of his adherents, only what two
boats could carry to the coast near Rimini,
escaped. Here the persons i'll the boats sepa-
rated Garibaldi carried his sick wife two days
in his arms. At last he reached peasants
hut, and asked water for her She died in his
arms when the cup touched her lips. He came
to New York, and dealt in tallow on Long
Island. Then he became a sea captain, and
now commands ship trading from our Paci-
fc coast to China. This is true heroisin, when
one like him in misfortune turns to the ordi.
nary avocations Of life, and adds to his fame
as patriot that of man Of industry. Anoth-
er call from the patriots of Italy, would find
him ready to drop the quadrant for the sword.

MIMIC MURDER-HANGI IN
EEEIGy

There are some men cursed with such de-
structive propensities, so fond of bloodshed
and slaughter, that when restrained from the
commission Of actual murder by the fear OF
punishment, they make the nearest approach
to it that they can with mpunity. They commit
symbolical murder. They make the bloodlcss
figure of man, and go through all the forms
and solemnites of the crime, if crime may be
said to be characterized by solemnities. These
mimic murders are generally, if not always,
committed by mobs Of violent and cowardly rut-
fans. They are bold enough to make an I'M
age of man, to howl around it with frantic
ferocity, TO hiss at il, to spit upon 1t, ana 10
stab, tar and feather, or hang it. They run no
risk in so doing. But if the image we're
suddenly endowed with vitality, and were to
become real, living, breathing man, they
would not dare to raise their unwashed hands
against it.
It's a remarkable thing connected with the
history Of this hanging in effigy, that nearly,
if not quite, all Of the persons on whom this
indignity has been cast have been great men,
good men, and public benefactors; and that
those who have been instrumental in iniiictng
this indignity on them have been base dastards
and turbulent rufians.
Some of these blockheads and rufians, it
seems, have recently vented their spleen and
malice on Judge douglas, the distinguished
author of the Nebraska bill, by subjecting an
image of his person to the ignominious pro-
cess of hanging. This is the highest tribute
that such abolitionists and rampant destructives
can pay to pure and disinterested patriotism.
The man who would burn in effgy patriotic
statesman like Judge Douglas, would bow
down and worship the reckless agitator and in.
cendiary, whose only ambition it is to kindle a
conhagration that would devote this great re-
public to ruin.
We thought that these men understood bet
ter the virtue and efficacy of martyrdom. But
blinded, it is to be supposed, by their rage,
maddened by their adder-ike venom, they are
taking the very course to commend to the good
men, and the thinking men of the country, those
patriots who knowing no north, no south, no
east, no west, are dcvoting themselves to the
great and noble work Of establishing, on firm,
enduring, and common basis, the rights of all
sections and all American citizens. Ifthese
frantic wretches were themselves hung, actually
and corporeally, it would afford more amuse-
ment, and be productive of more good to the
country, perhaps, than the malicious pastime
Of hanging or burning in efigy.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM.

The SPEAKER laid before the House mes
sage from the President of the United States,
transmitting report from the Attorney General,
in answer to a resolution of the House adopted
on the 22d of December last, calling for the plan
ofthe modification and enlargement of the judicial
system Of the United States, as recommended in
his annual message TO Congress.
GUANo.
The SPEAKER also laid before the House
communication from the President of the United
States in compliance with resolution adopted on
the 18th ultimo requesting information relative TO
a negotiation with Peru for the removal Of the re-
striction on the expectation Of guano, accompa-
MED by the report of the Secretary of State and
The correspondence therein referred to.
Laid on the table and ordered to be printed.
Among the documents is letter from Secretary
Marcy to Mr.. Clay, charge daffaires to Peru, un-
der date Of August 80, 1888, in which he says that
the increasing anxiety manifested in several of
the States of the Union for speedy removal of
the obstacles TO the free traffic in the guano of
Peru, has been communicated from time to time
10 that department, and justly merits attention.
The monopoly in the expectation and sale Of
this article is of rigid character as TO create
exorbitant prices, and thus preclude our agri-
culturasts from the enjoyment of its benefits,
except in limited degree, for the improvement of
their soil. II is of great Importance therefore, 10
the development of our leading American inter-
ests that the Peruvian government should be pre-
day as possible
Ii is estimated that the deposites of guano
in Peru cannot amount 10 less than fifty million
TONS and that the expectation of il in 1852, TO all
parts Of the world, did not exceed two hundred
thousand tons of which only about forty-seven
thousand were exported to the United States.
Under judicous regulation Of the government
OF Peru, is probable that in few years the con-
sumption in this country alone. would more than
equal that of all the world at the present time. II
IT could be offered at our ports at thirty thirty
hvc dollars per ton il would become an article
OF general use in every section of the country
and contribute in wonderful degree 10 the pros
perity of our citizens II is quoted AT present ir
Baltimore and Richmond at fifty or ffty-Gve dol
lars per ton. II is thought by competent Judges
that its transportation to our seaboard on the AT
lantic, could be effected, if there were equality II
trade, at fifteen dollars per ton but twenty dollar
is the basis of the settlement with Peru
Considering the great Importance Of securiu,
the surplus for this country product so usef,i
10 the great agricultural classes of our citizens
Mr.. Marcy insiructs Mr. Clay TO urge the Peru
vian government 10 adopt such measures as will
be likely to lead 10 this beneficial result. "It s

citizens take great interest, and expect the bes

ABARBERous sOPERAT1oS.-A few weeks since,
youth, 10 years of age, entered BARRIERS
shop, in Nassau street. for the purpose of getting
his hair, which was CT fiery hue, colored black.
The barber exerted his skill on the young
mans head and for his service demanded So.
This amount was more than the youth had
with him, and he requested that an apprentice
Of the barber might be allowed to accompany
him to his residence, and there receive the
money. The arrangement was pronounced
satisfactory and both started but before reach
ing the home of the youth, gave his companion
the slip, and was not again seen until yester-
day, when the BARRIERS man seized him, and
took him to the shop. A police was immedi
ately called to arrest the young man, and he
was conveyed to the Tombs, closely followed
by the barber and his man. The barber in
formed the magistrate of the nature of the
offence committed and requested that the
young man might be locked up. The latter
on being asked what he had to say, replied
that he had been the victim Of an imposition,
at the same time he pulled off his cap, and to
the astonishment of all present, it was dis.
covered that his head had been died pea-green,
instead of black The magistrate forthwith
refused to receive complaint against him, and
amid shouts Of laughter, the two victims left

ERRAruM.-The substitution of a single
letter often changes and reverses the meaning
of a sentence. This was forcibly illustrated in
our congressional column Of yesterday. In Mr..
Badgers amendment to the Nebraska bill the
meaning was thus reversed, by substituting an $
for o, in the word revive The amendment
is as follows:
Prorided, That nothing contained in this act
shall be construed 10 repire or put in force any
law or regulation which may have existed prior
10 the act Of the 9th of March, 1870, either
protecting, establishing, prohibiting, or abolishing

A WONDERFUL CLocK-There is now in the
possession OF, and manufactured by, MIR. Col
iings, silversmith, of Worcestershire, England,
a most ingenious piece of mechanism-an eight
day clock, with dead beat escapement of main
tanning power, chimes the quarters, plays six
teen tunes, plays three times in twelve hours,
or will play at any time required. The hands
go around as follows One, once minute;
one, once an hour; one, once q week one,
once a month; one once year. 1t shows
the moons age, the time of rising and set
ting of the sun, the time Of high and low
water, half ebb and half flood; and, by
beautiful contrivance, there is part which
represents the water, which rises and falls
lifting the ships at high-water tide as if it
were in motion, and as it recedes leaves these
little automaton ships dry on the sands. Il
shows the hour Of the day, day of the week, day
of the month, month Of the year. In the day
of the month there is provision made for the
long and short months. 1t shows the twelve
signs of the zodiac; it strikes or not, chimes or
not, as you wish it; it has the equation table,
showing the difference of clock and sun every
day in the year. Every portion of the clock is
of beautiful workmanship, and performs most
accurately the many different objects which are
called into action by the ingenious proprietor,
who is most willing to describe all its various
achievements to any one who may feel apleasura
in paying him visit.
