The true connection or relation between

sophy. But this much we do know to a
certainty, that mind is extending its as
cendancy over matter; and judging from
the past, it must yet attain complete con-
troll over all material forms and organize
tioos. The growth.and development Of
mind, and the increase oft power over
the forces in nature, are the most remark
able facts in the history OF the race. How
would the productions Of tba! very early
artifcer, Tdbal-Cain, compare with his
fellw tradesman Of London and Paris, TO-
day? The Moors represent very well

labor-saving contrivances, compare with

Sympathy for Criminals.

Fowler, the New York Postmaster, has
stolen from 800, 600 to 100000 ofGov-
ernment money. This is called defal.
cation. and q defalcalion is considered
somewhat less disgracefu. than com.
mon robbery. A warrant was issued for
the arrest of Fowler, but up to the date
of our last advices from New York, he
had not been found. "His personal
friends think tt about as well thai he es-
capped arrest, as, had he been taken into
custody. he would, without doub,, have
committed suicide" This piece of grat
flying intelligence ia very ooolly sent over
the couutry on the telegraph wires. Had
he been arrested he would have commit.
ted suicide; therefore, it is we'll that he
escaped. There is morality and justice
both, with vengeance. Had Fowler
been some poor dog, and had he stolen $50
out of somebody's drawer. or pocket, he
wonld have been arrested and sent to the
Penitentiary. and the probability or the
danger of suicide would not have con
cerned those people who bestow a great
deal of sympathy upon first GLASS orimi-
nails. Fowler is man of education. He
occupied good social position. Hew
placed in an important office. lie stole
the money lntrusted to his care, and tc
this infamous act he added that of cor,
ruptiou; for we are told that most Of the
stolen money was used for eieotioneeling
purposes, He therefore deserves punish
ment rather than sympathy; and to suf
fer him to go at large because of his so
cial standing, or through fear of his ad
ding self murder to the crime of robbery
is simply to triAe with the interests o
