circumstances: ssi .st'.
b. A conscientohsj Judge having observed the
effect Of the rack upon supposed criminals
in making them confess anything, to the
sacrifice OF their lives. to get released. from
the. tcrtue, determined to try an expert.

It lie capital crime in that country to
ikill,a horse or mule, and he had one Of the
former which he much valued. He took
care one night to have all bis servants EN-.
pIoyed SO that no one bat the groor, could
go into the stable. When al we're fast
asleep in their beds he sio!e thither himself
and cut the horse so thatrhe lied to death.
The groom was appreherded and com
mitted to prison. He pleaded not guilty:
but tue presumption beirg strong against
him, he was ordered to the rack, where the
extremity Of the. torture wrung from him
a confess'cn ofthe crime. Upout this con.
lesion ne had the Sentence Of hanging pass
Cd on him, wher. his master went to the
tribunal and there exposed the fallibility Of
confessions obtained by such means, by
owning the facts himself, and disclosing the

Drunkenness i'm the South

p .-- Gfs-4 y.
i, Nothing shows the irresp9nsibility
of that hostility toward the South
which certain class Of Republicans
constantly exhibit, and as constantly
deny, than, the, appearance of such
squibs as the following ID the New
York Tines.a Speaking Of a certain
Confederate Geleral. who was lately
arrested in Washington for being
drunk, the Times says: !. -
I " Let the press be merciful to this
HILL If be got drunk, he simply
kept up the, custom of his cid home /;
for it is down il Dixie ,thas the flow.

drunkenness has beent reduced to ia
science, and, to be habitually sober
will (in the case Of a white MANI sub
ject the offender to suspicion Of con.
spring against the State."i VI, ..,.s
!. We say that this shows irrepressi-
bility of malice because the Times is
on its good behavior now. and in
close contiguity to the above we find
the following J: ~ ri
"The mere cessation of hard lap
guage between the two sections is a
fact Of immense account. True, it is
of merely negative character. 1t in
wolves in itself no positive reconchia-
ton, no real concord Of spirit. But
1t is a necessary antecedent. Recon
struction would be a moral impossi.
bility under any such. indulgence, Of
mutual reproach as prevailed before
the, rebellion. The Confederate spirit
would be Kept as rank as ever, and
loyalty would have no chance for new
growth" J.
! The idea Of any depizen Of. New.
YORK.; aud especially a Bohemian of
the New York press, reviling the
South for its love Of whisky, is Ger.
tainly as " cheeky" as the two para
