rAsE OF HAzLITr-FALsE SWEARING

T. enc " .
CARLISLE, Pa, Nov. ], 1889.
Though the people of this town aon DOM approve
John Browns course at Harpers Ferry, they new
ertheless like fair play
In the hearing OF Hazltt, arrested here as one Of
the insurgents the respectable part of the cOmmu-
nifty did not share in the desire manifested by some
for the poor mans blood.
Frederick Watts was counsel in the case for VIZ
ginia. Mr.. Watts gave the six or eight men who
came on from that State note to Sheriff McCart-
ney desiring him to show them the men IN ques.
ton. Mr. Mccartney, either understanding better,
or more willing to comply with the demands OF pro-
priety in the case took the men through the wards
of the prison. and showed them all that We're there
without indicating who was the suspected person.
Not one of them identified the man; on the con.
trary, they all came away saying that they could
not recognize in any OF the prisoners any ore wnom
they had seen at Harper's Ferry: and yet, when
these Vrgnians came into Court and saw tho
man suspected, in CUSTODY Of NE saerln, ttney
had no da.;c,i,,iiy in swearing straight through
that he had been among the insurgents, and
that they had seen him! When in the prison, they
could not recognize in any Of the twelve inmates
shown them any one whom they had seen at Har-
per's Ferry, and yet, when tie man in question is
produced from among these twelve, they swear
point blank that they saw him IN the conflict, with
arms in bis hands, That .ney led was as palpable
as that they spoke.
Sheriff McCe.rney, though he used to be slave
catcher is .aow disposed to do the right thing. He

Though we do not approve of poor Browns
course us said in the beginning we like fair play.
am Carlisle man, though not at present living
in the town; but will say this for the credit Of
the community: we are disguised at the in
decent haste with which poor Browns case
is hurried through the forms of trial. II may
suit Virginia to call that fir trial, but in no FREQ
State would it be 30 Considered.
How different was the treatment Of our Carlisle
Court of those Maryland kidnappers last Summer
They were allowed two months in which to prepare
for their trial, and yet when they came on and
stated that they were not ready, and had not all
their witnesses, the Judge-this same Judge Ora
ham-put off the case for three months; that is, till
the November term. Now, at Harper's Ferry,
when the lives of three or four men are to be tha
forfeit, they will not grant the delay of q day.
Does any one say that this haste is made nccessa-
ry by the existence of Slavery Why. then, 10 q
system tolerated that thus treats with contempt the
decencies of law, the demands of justice, and tho
requirements of common humanity If Slavery
can only be maintained at the expense Of justice,

FROM THE SOUTH PACIFIC

CHILI.-The revolutionary movement progress
ses. In the south of the province of Talca, and in
| the north Huasco and Copiapo are in arms against
| the government.
Latest dates from Coquimbo, Conception Chloe
and the rest of the Republic, most satisfactory.
All these different parts perfectly quiet, and Sc
! far from their being any symptom of turbulence
perceptbe, divers public manifestations have been
| made in favor OF the present government, and in
disapproval of the Copiapo and Talca riots.
A correspondent of the Concrete, of Lima, wri-
| ting from Valparaiso, SAYS:
| Atacama continues in the same revolutionary
state and the small force of $50 and four guns
sent against it by the government can do nothing
until reinforced.
On the 2lst and 22d the revolutionary movement
broke out at Taca, and the revolutioniss fortified
themselves in the public square. The Government
have sent 300 men in two steamers to Constitution,
but the result is not yet known.

Super, IAN Englishman,) is in irons.
Messrs. Toro, Dodd Sincht Samprayo, Geoven-
no. Cobos, Arlequi, Mena and others, are prisoners
in Valparaiso.
A revolution movement is 'expected to take place
in the province of Arauco.
Government is organizing two battalions Of in
fantry and regiment of cavalry, paying twenty
dollars bounty to each recruit.
Another correspondent says:
The revolution daily gains ground. Copiapo still
holds out, and more troops be sent to sustain
the government cause. The rails of portion of
the railroad have been taken up so as to stop the
communication with the port of Caldera
In Valparaiso it is daily expected that the revolu-
ton will break out and great fears are entertained
that the mob will commit many excuses.
The editors of the Concrete have offered the gov
eminent security in $50 900 to be allowed to reis-
sue their journal, but their request was refused.

are helping forward the revolutionary movement,

ance-the Grand Jury proceed too far, in calling
the whole liquor trade of the State nuisance to
be-if it were possible-summarily abolished.
Such sweeping attempts have, VIGOROUSLY, reacted
runousy, wherever they have been made; and the
suggestion of one measure, which we believe all
sensible men admit to be impracticable, is an
unfortunate preface to another, in which there is
perhaps, the chance of success 1t is calculated
to arouse the opposition of all those who
might be willing to reform, by giving ground for
suspicion that the ultimate intention is to entirely
destroy. 1t would certainly be well, and, we
think, thing not extremely difficult to effect, so
far at least as public acquiescence is concerned,
that some system of supervision should be provided
for the detection and prevention of the adultera-
ton of the drinks Of the people; for while we be-
lieve there is considerable exaggeration both as to
the extent to which this is carried and the dele.
FERROUS nature of the agents employed, there is nc
doubt whatever that all the evils of drinking are
aggravated by heir employment to a greater Oh
less extent. We suppose that the most abandoned
inebriate would prefer not to swallow drugs tina
poison, as we'll as make drunk. But in establish
ing the inspection, difficulties greater than ordi
nary will be experienced. 1t would require nj
small amount of chemical skill, to detect all tn
poisons that may Turk in sample of liquor, ant
when the number and opportunities of those whit
are interested in these authorizations, are takel
into account, it will easily be perceived
that no absolute guaranty of purity can ever b
provided. This seems to us no sufficient reason
however, why the thing should not be attempted
If it lead even to the occasional detection of tn
admixture of deleterous matter, with popular bev
eragcs, it would not fail to have salutary effect
in more ways than one. The parties guilty o
this heinous offence would not only stand chance
to be punished as they deserve, but the peop
would thus be put on their guard against prac
tice which may now be too generally supposed tt
exist principally, in the imaginations of fanatica
temperance men.

TUESDAY, MARCH Is, 1859.

Neither NJ BELLY, nor NJ. MILLAUD, his especial
friend and patron, are disheartened by the cool
ness with which the proposition to construct a
shin canal across the 1sthmus of Nicaragua has
been received by European capitalists. The pro-
ject may be plausible enough ON paper said the
English journalists, but the engineering difficulties
are immense, and the cost would be enormous
Now, whatever selfish motives the English may
have in desiring to prevent NJ. LEssEPs from cutting
q ship canal across the Isthmus of SUEz they GER
tainly can have no reason to object to any feasible
project for opening up direct water communca-
ton between the Atlantic and the Pacific. We
may, therefore, take for granted that they are
sincere in the belief that the scheme of NJ BELLY,
if not absolutely impractcable, would involve too
great an expense to leave any margin for profit on
the investment. NJ. BELLY, however, evidently
regards his grant as too valuable to be given up
without struggle. Although his efforts to OBJ
tain the cooperation of moneyed men have not
been attended, thus far, with much success he yet
hopes to elicit an interest in his scheme when he is
in a condition to bring it forward, accompanied
by official estimates, and by all the necessary
engineering details. 1t is with this view that we
learn he is now on his way to Nicaragua to take
formal possession of his grant-the 9th of this
month being the day which has been fixed upon
for the performance of this ceremonial. At the
town of Rivas, NJ. BELLY, with General LEvAssEUR,
and numerous officials and engineers, are
to meet Presidents MORA and MARTINEZ
for the purpose of solemny ratifying the contract
that has been entered into. The next step, we
presume will be to survey and mark out the line
of the proposed canal, and when these preliminary
labors concluded, the party will return to Eu-
rope to lay their plans and estimates before the f.
nancal world. OF course, the Report, when it is
cess of the enterprise and will set FORTH in due
form, the immense profits to be derived from it-for
such reports, usually, make light of the obstacles
to be encountered. The sanguine temperament OF
protector can no where be seen to so much ad-
vantage as in the careless with which he dis
poses of the difficulties in his way, and the sover-
eign contempt with which he treats all whose
views differ from his own. We have no doubt,
that in the Report of NJ. BELLY and his coadjutors,
the subject of an iner-oceanic canal will be treated
secundum artem and with all its best points dis
played in the strongest light; but while dis
putes with the Central American Republics
remain unadjusted, and no assurance can be
given to capitalists of the permanence of those
governments, it is questionable whether they
will consent to join in adventure which is Ger
tain to be attended with great risk, and may,
possibly, result in complete failure.

THE POST OEELCE REYENLES

A correspondent of the National htelligencer
who is said, by that journal, to have filled, al
one time ga high legal post in the service of the
Government" controverts the position assumed
by writer in the Washington Union, to the effect
that the Post0fiice Department possesses the le
"gal right to apply the income of the Department
"to the payment of its expenses in default of an ex
"press appropriation by Congress" The opinion
is expressed by the hteligencer that, in case in
volving much doubt as to its legality, it is
questionable whether the inconvenience of calling
an extra session of Congress would not be pre-
ferablc to the assumption of responsibility which
does not appear to be justified under the provisions
of the act of 1886.
