There is no longer any reasonable doubt
that cruelties of which il is impossible to
think without shuddering were perpetrated
in the suppression Of the Jamaica insurrec-
ton. Some, indeed, Of the worst stories
originally told have melted away under the
process of examination, others have been
materially qualified by counter evidence, and
many seem to have been attached by mistake
to innocent persons. Still, more than
enough remain mistaken and even undis-
puted. Upon the whole, the in
ference we are compelled to draw from the
facts hitherto disclosed, subject Of course,
to correction when the result Of the Inquiry
shall be made known, lie that an abuse OF
power, beyond all excuse or palliation either
in nature or degree, will probably be
brought home to several British officers and
large number Of British soldiers or sailors.
Had the Volunteers drawn up before the
Morsnt Bay Courthouse killed some
hundreds Of people, instead Of only few,
by a volley fred in self-defence, or had any
number Of rebels caught ed-handed, been
hanged upon the nearest trees, we should
not have inquired too closely into the legality
Of such acts. We are prepared TO 20 yet
further, and to contend that a Government
or any other constituted authority is entitled
20 strong presumption in its favor when
engaged in quclling an outbreak commenc-
ing with a massacre. But presumption must
yield to proof, and we cannot but discern
through much exaggeration and many in
ventions the proof that Reign of Terror
did prevail after the necessity for it had
ceased. A time comes in every such crisis
when the ''dogs Of war;" however properly
''let slip," ought to be sternly recalled, and
after winch the high law must be invoked in
vain. 1t seems to have been the chief fault
Of Governor Eyre that he failed to appreci-
ate this, and, oppressed with the burdens Of
his own anxieties, asked no questions about
the operation of martial law. The most
cruel wrongs are often inflicted through q
division Of responsibility between those who
give orders without seeing them executed,
and those who execute them without consult
ing their own consciences. 1t will be fol
the Commissioners in this instance to ap-
portion the blame between these two, and
their task is one that few will envy. They
will carry with them, however, the sympathy
and support of the nation, which, jealous
as it rightly il Of its military character
will never suffer the sacred principles O.
justice and mercy to be profaned with i'm
PANTY in its service.-LOnt5OR Tunes.

THE OHIO FAIE.URE.

We regret 10 state that the fears express
ed by the ADVOCATE 5 me weeks ago, that
the eight hour bill introduced into the Ohio
legislature, and which passed the lower
house, would not become a law, were toe
well founded, and we think our correspond
ent must now be convinced that 1t was just
az sensible in us, to wait till we were out o
the woods before we joined in the genera
hurrah. We expressed that opinion, becaus'
we had no faith whatever in the sincerity OF
honesty Of purpose Of the present represent
atives, whose promises, to use a homely
phrase, are like pie-crusts-made to b'
broken. These legislators, with few honor
able exceptions, were professional politician:
the same class Of men who have made
every Objectionable law which capital has
demanded at their hands, aud it is the sheer
est humbug on our part to denounce then
duplicity or want Of principle. No, no thai
will do no good The remedy lies in ouI
own hands-the pruning knife. just think
Of it; workingmen hugglng the delusior
that the catspaws of capital would legislate

such an opinion, let him examine the con.

So far as we are concerned, from this day
henccforth, the policy of the ADVOCATE viii

Livingstone, the celebrated traveller, in
his recent book of travels in Africa thus
describes the most wonderful geographical
discovery Of modern times
The Victoria Falls Of the Zambesi river
are among the most remarkable curiosities
of the interior of Africa. For several miles
above the cataract the river il smooth and
tranquil, flowing by lovely islands thickly
covered with tropical vegetation. Lofty
palm trees, with their fruit in golden clusters,
grow abundantly upon the banks. Many
flowers peep out near the waters edge. But
these charming islands are souh succeeded
by dangerous rapids. IL il only when the
river is very low that they can be psssed in
safety. Elephants and hippopotami are
often swept over the falls, and, Of course,
smashed TO pulp. In entering the race Of
waters, the party was requested not to speax,
as talking might impair the yirture Of the
''medicine." There were places where the
utmost exertions Of the eanoeman had to be
put forth to force the boat to the only safe
part Of the rapid, and to prevent ID from
sweeping down broadside GA. At times, At
seemed az if nothing could save the canoe
from dashing headlong against the rocks,
but just at the nick Of time the word was
pole, turned the craft a little aside, snd it
glided swiftly past the threatened danger
On reaching the falls spectacle Of indie
scrlbable magnItcence was presented 10 the
travellers. The cataract IS formed by a
crack across the river, the bed Of the Zam-
best, at that place The lips Of the crack are
still quite sharp, except about three feet Of
the edge over which the river rolls. The
walls go sheer down from the lips Without
any projecting crag. The cleft is ia length
q few yards more than the breadth OF the
Zambesi, which was found to be, BY
measurement, little over 500 yards, but
this number was retained 10 mark the year
in which the fall was for the first time care
fully examined. The width, at the narrow
est point, was found to be 90 yards, and al
the widest somewhat more. Into this chasm,
twice as deep as Ma cara Fails, the river, a
mile wide, rolls with deafening roar, forming
the Victoria cataract Ii il broken into
several partial falls by rocks and islands, in
all making upward OF 2,700 feet Of perennial
falls. The whole body Of water rolls clear
over quite unbroken, but after descent OF
ter or more feet the entire mass suddenly
becomes like huge sheet Of driven snow
Pieces Of water leap from it in the fora OF
comets with tails streaming behind. tili the
whole snowy sheet is changed into nyriads
VI rushing, icapinc, aqueous comets The
amount Is probably exceeded " Niagara,
though not IN the months when the Zambesi
is in food. This vast body Of water ne
cessarily incloses IN Its descent a large
volume of air, which, forced into tire cleft to
an unknown depth, rebounds, and rushes
up loaded with yapor, to term three or even
siX columns, as i Of steam. visible AZ the
distance " twenty one miles On reaching
the height Of 200 feet from the level of the
river, this vapor becomes condensed into a
perpetual shower of fine rain.

The Pal Mall Gazette notices an impor-
tant addition to the means Of diminishing
pain which has cen made by an English
physician, who has introduced new meth
Cd Of producing local insensibility to the
knife. Chloroform robs the most terrible
surgical procedures of the worst horrors
which formerly surrounded them, and has
even rendered possible some operations
which could hardly have been attempted
without it; but it has its own peril-the
peril of death. Surgeons justly encourage
their patients by reciting to them the statis-
tics Of fatal accidents under chloroform,
which, incomplete though they be, demon
strate the extreme rarity Of such misfor-
tunes. 1t has, however, been observed by
all authors who hive collected these cases
that a remarkably large p portion Of the
recorded deaths have occurred where only
minor operations have been contemplated.
Hence rapid and efficient means Of pro-
ducing local anathesia and one free from
any OF the constitutional risks attending the
administration Of chloroform, il boon Of
great price. DIR. b. w. Richardson effects
this result by directing on the skin finely
divided spray of pure ether, using an in
genious modification of the spray tubes
lately much in vogue as toys for difusing
perfumes. A rapid blanching Of the Skin
and insensibillity to pain follow in from
about thirty seconds to two minutes. Up

the Lac. few weeks been painlessly Oondnct-

LOCKOUT or TIE FILE MAKERS.

LOCKOUT OF TIE FILE MAKERS.
The far-famed Filesmiths of Sheffield are
at present on strike, for an advance Of
wages, and in a circular isuued "to the
Trades Unionisss of the United King dom,"
the facts of the case are thus briefly stated f:
'sAbout seventeen months ago, the file
grinders sent in a revised statement of
prices, and invited their employers to meet
in conference to settle the same. This in
vitation not being noticed, second circu-
lar was sent, in which the time and place
Of meeting was fixed, but still with no bet
ter result, only one employer and one man
ager putting in an appearance at the meet
ing, and under these cir cumstances no bust
ness could be transacted.
"Acting on advice received, the grinders
decided 10 allow the question to stand over
until January of the present tevr, when
they gave months notice that at the expi-
ration Of this time they would expect to be
paid according to the revised list previously
sent in. The employers and managers now
allege that they were not aware what the
notice was given for, and vet the employers
held meeting on the Thursday, and de-
cided on giving all the other branches Of the
trade-the forgers, cutters, and gardeners
months notice on the following Saturday
in other words, to
LOCK OUT OVER 3, DG0 MEN,
knowing at the same time that these bran
ches were also revising their list, with q
view Of obtaining slight advance on their
present prices, believing that they were IN
derpaid for their labor, which is admitted
even By number Of the employers them
selves. Indeed. it is notorious that the file
trade, as rh0ls, are The worss paid Of any
combined trade in Sheffield
Our numbers being large, the calls on our
funds are necessarily great hence we ask
you to render US all the assistance in your
power and to show that we have not beer
unRiindfu. Of our own interests, we may
mention, that from July, 1854, to December
| 1865, the cutters and forgers alone have pait
