The announcement Of the discharge Of
Mr.. Sickles is received by the press and the
people Of the country with general approval
A few einbittcred partisan sheets would in
sist on hanging any political opponent, but
such sheets are rare. There arc others who
think the law should have been indicated
by the prompt conviction of the prisoner,
and then let an immediate pardon follow,
but the result now made known gives gem
eral satisfaction. The sentiment Of the
masses is that man who seduces the wife
Of another must take ''leaded matter" If
the woman seduccs him Gas some insist then
he surely ought to be shot for giving way to
the Establishments Of the 'wcaker vessel"
What the ladies propose to do with those
who practice charms upon their poor, sus-
ccptiblc husbands, we have not learned
probably the next court of scandal at Wash
ington will settle the course to be observed.
Some Of the fair insist that "mcn should he
as virtuous as women" but in reply to this
it is suggested that Lucifer ought to have
stayed in Heaven and behaved himself
Fielding, Addison, Steele and many great
writer's of more ancient as we'll as of more
modern times (saying nothing oftheologians)
have ridiculed the idea that there is any in
hercnt virtue in man, and this opinion gov
ems society pretty much at present. In
the expressive language Of Sir Peter Teazle,
''This is id bad world and the fewer
persons VIC praise, the better!'

Cured at Monona. We get particulars from
headquarters 49,. .-
1t seems married lady Of pleasant dis
position, had written sundry letters to
young man Of easy virtue requesting an in
tcrview. The interview is supposed to have
taken place, and the discovery of the fact
led the jealous husband to examine the
drawers (bureau) Of his angel, and an ex-
tensive correspondence rolled out. Then he
ioonshly got angry and upon his wife's re-
turn he threatened ITO whale" her. Her
lover, hearing the muss, ''pitched in" to the
assistance Of the lady and "bit of shindy''
was the consequence An outsider inter-
fsred with warlike advice, and proposition
to furnish weapons Of death to the young
Lothario-which were not used. After
some noise and a few scratches the parties
quit-a law suit followed, two of the parties
arc bound over to court for assault the beau
has escaped to Pixies Peak and the lady
has sensibly returned to her forgiving lord.
We mention no names for the reason that
we do not think such scandal should be
bowed over the United States to the dis
grace Of all who may be named in the re-
port. This incident is good enough without
names.

The Legislature Of the State of Maine has
recently set an example in the way of prac-
teal Protection" which may result in
good to each State in the Union without
injuring adjoining States 1t is this: al
Manufacturing Capital or stocks are ex-
empted from taxation for ten years after
their devotion to that purpose; provided
the cities and towns in which they are To-
Gated shall also release them from liabilities
Of tho same character.
Such . law violates the first principles Of
equal legislation by throwing the burthens
Of taxation upon other operators in indus
trial pursuits, but it is eternally urged that
Manufactures cannot begin without help
from the State or Federal Government and
this looks 10 as like the least Objectionable
