EyHis Honor, Judge Nash, at the
term of Court in Galipolis, just closed, sen
fenced four men to the Penitentiary for the
aggregate term of fifty years. They will
do the State some service.
Hugh Clark, il seems, was tried and
convicted in 1853, on charge of passing
counterfeit money. Being on bail at the
time, when the verdict was rendered, he
escaped. He was recently recaptured, and
confined in Jail to receive his sentence on
the old verdict, at the present term OF
Court. While so confined, his two broth
crs, Thomas and Robert Clark, for the pur-
pose of destroy ing the record of Hugh's
form er conviction, set fire to the Court
House, which was consumed, but the re-
cords and papers saved. This was arson
committed during the present term Of
Court. The, brothers were arrested, in
dicted, tried and convicted at the same
term, and instead Of saving their brother
Hugh from the Penitentiary, find. them
selves his companions there. Hugh being
sentenced to ten years, and Thomas and
Robert to fifteen years each.
Terrence Mulligan was also sent for a
term Of ten years, Tor passing counterf'
money. 1t is believed that all these men
belonged to an organized band of despera
does who iniest the county. This seems
to be good beginning, and may have the
effect to drive away the balance.

Death of Hon. II. l.. Harris.

The telegraph brought US lest night,
the no less melancholy, because not up-
expected intelligence of the death of Hon.
T. L. Harris, who, but few weeks since,
was reelected to Congress from the Sixth
Illinois District. Greatness is relative
term which, though usually associated
with intellectual supremacy. is far from
being its exclusive possession. If infe-
rior in brilliant talents to many of his COM
peers, Mr.. Harris, in the more liberal sig
nifcation of the word, is entitled TO the
appellation, that men are won't to bestow
upon those who serve their county and
the world, either in the fields of literature,
warfare or politics.
The victim of an incurable disease,
hemmed in on every side by office holders,
office-seekers and the tools of a venal Ad-
ministration, assailed simultaneously by
threats, bribes and batteries, Mr.. Harris
dared to resist the allurements of party
and ease, and battle for truth and freedom,
as it were from dying bed. Chatham-l like
he infused new vigor into half despairing
Opposition, and having done his duty, re-
turned home to die. A grateful constit-
uency paid him the only testimonial in
their power. showing by their votes, that
even in this world, virtue does not 90

will cherish the name of Thomas L. Har-
ris with gratitude when many more noted,

The papers, and particularly those of
the South, are boiling over with indigna-
ton at the Government OF San Salvador,
one of the States Of the Central American
Republic. for expelling the Rev. Mr.. Grove,
an agent Of the "American Bible Society,"
from the country. He went there to dis
tribute Bibles, and teach Professionalism to
people who wanted neither. He was adj
vised that his proceedings were in viola
ton of the laws of the country, ard that he
must desist or suffer the penalty. He
chose to persist, and was quietly sent out
Of the country by the authorities, and our
whole land is stirred by the outrage! Pub
lie meetings are being held in our cities,
and the papers are calling upon our Gov
eminent TO interfere in the matter.
Now, while we cannot have the slight
est sympathy with the bigotry that would
prevent Mr.. Grove from giving Bibles to
those who desired them, we think il would
be well TO turn our attention to home af-
fairs first While there can never be a
justification for such intolerance in any
country, there is seeming palliation in
this case. Here was stranger, for
eigner, in the face of the laws of the
country. doing that which, however right
and commendable in itself, was, neverthe-
less, in open contempt of the public senti-
ment and authorities Of the State.
But how is it in our own country? In
nearly half the States of this Union, the
law makes it PenItentiary offense for a
citizen even to give Bible to any one of a
large class of the population, or permit
them to read single word in it! And this
barbarous and bloody code is no dead letter
on the statute books. tits mot long since
Mrs. Douglas, wealthy and accomplished
widow lady, native and lifelong resident
of Norfolk, in Virginia, and herselfa slave
holder, was convicted and sent to the Peni
tertiary of that State, for teaching some
of her own household to read the Bible
And everybody knows, that if a citizen o
Ohio, or any other State in the Union, and
much more, an agent of a foreign-say
nglish-Society, should attempt to do il
Virginia or any other slave State, precisely
what Mr.. Grove was attempting to do il
San Salvador, he would not be erpelleC
from the State, nor permitted to leave it
if not murdered OH the spot, AS he mos
likely would be, he would inevitably spenc
the balance of his life in their gloomy dun
geons among felons. There IS not an in
telligent man in America, that don't know
this to be the simple truth; and yet thos'
who sustain and uphold despotism lik'
this, which any tyrant in Europe woulc
blush to tolerate for an hour, can mocl
Heaven and insult the intelligence of tn,
world by hypocritical denunciations o
half civilized San Salvador, for sending al
agent of foreign Society, quietly out o
the country. Consistency is Jewel.

DisuniOn-A Prediction.

An ardent patriot in Charleston, s. c.,
1--WE do not know his name, nor is it very
materially writes to one of the Democratic
organs in Washington, that the Union will
be dissolved, somewhere between this date
and the year 1864. He thus explains how
this operation will be effected:
.Supposing the question of State rights
to be decided IN Congress against the
South on any distinct issue in which the
sense of the Southern people can be relied
upon, all her representatives in Congress
shall withdraw from the Capitol in body,
and take with them the Southern members
Of the Cabinet, and thus leave Congress
without quorum tor business and the
Executive with a mutillated corps of ad-
visers. This was Gen. Rusks plan for
dissolving the existing Government, and
forcing upon the sectionalists Of the North
the onus of coming some distance and
making war ON Southern ground, if they at
tempted to conquer the Southern States
back to the Union by downright force.
This threat is nothing new, nor is the
method of disposing of such rebellion a
very difficult one to imagine. We have
heard a suggestion on this matter, from
3 source emitting it to great weight, } that
we commend to the consideration not only
all timid people. who are alarmed by this
sort of bravaoo. . E-
Should such an event ever happen, as
supposed above, and every Southern Sena-
tor and Representative withdraw from
Congress, it will only be necessary for
their constituencies TO be notified of the
existing vacancies. and all. or nearly all,
will doubtless very soon be filed. If not,
the machinery of government will not stop
on that account. AS to going ''some dis
tance and making war on the South"
that will be wholly unnecessary. A few
uneasy demagogues at the South undoubt-
edly wish to break up the Union, and es-
tablish Slaveholding Confedera:y or a
Southern Monarchy. But the mass of the
Southern population, we believe to be as
loyal as that of any other portion of the
country. When the issue comes, if it
ever does, the fire-eaters will find little
favor anywhere.-CiR. Gazette.

~One of the humanitarian NOV

~ One of the humanitarian move
ments of our times although little known
as such, can hardly be over estimated in
its Importance upon the well being of our
widely scattered communities. The pop
ulation of the American States is in many
sections so sparse, that ekilful physicians
are hardly available to them. Vast num-
bers of our people, are obliged to employ
in sickness, such medical relief as they
can hear of from each other, or in deed
any they can get from any quarter. Hence
arises the great consumption of Patent
Medicines among us, greater by far than
in any of the old countries, where skilful
physicians are accessible to all classes.
Unprincipled men have long availed them
selves of this necessity, TO palm off their
worthless nostrums, until the word has be-
come SYNONYMOUS with imposition and
cheat. One of our leading Chemists in
the East. DR.. Aver, is pursuing a course
which defeats this iniquity. He brings
not only his own, but the best skill Of our
times to bear, for the production Of the
best remedies which can be made. These
are supplied tu the world, in a convenient
form, at low prices, and the people will no
more buy poor medicines instead of -four.
The inevitable consequence OF this is, that
the vile compounds that flood our country
are discarded for those which honestly
accomplish the end in view-whieh cure
Do we over estimate its Importance, in
believing that this prospect of supplan ting
the by-word medicines, with those OF
actual worth and virtue. is frought with
immense consequence for good, to the
masses of our people. CARTE and
