The Science of Roguery.

III Is marvellous now much ike q
regular, and even a respectable, busi-
ness the science OF rOguery has be-
come. The robbery Of the safe con-
tanning million and a half of dollars
worth of securities would seem to in
dictate that New York was not likely
to lack for burglarious elements and
sensations for the present, any
rate.
But the point to be remarked in
this matter, as it was remarked in the
case Of the Concord Bank robbery,
and is continually made prominent in
many another piece of roguery, is the
cool manner in which, after the first
flush Of the excitement is gone, the
hardened rOgueS turned round aud
propose to divide the proceeds with
the rightful owners, on the simple CON
dition Of immunity from punishment.
So glad are bond owners to recover
even a fair fraction of the amount
whose total loss would in many III
stances beggar them, they readily con
sent to compound with the thieves on
their own terms, and leave them free
to pursue their depredations in any di-
rection. 1t is this practice that is
lifting up burglary to the social re-
spectability of a regular profession ;
it is recognized and contracted with
by society, thieves and rogues become
suddenly rich by the aid and conni-
vance Of society, and they are allowed
TO remain i'll society unmOlested, and
to enjoy their profits as best suits
tastes whose very rankness may not,
either always be too strong to be so,
cially unacceptable.
Is it not about time for the Law to
step forth and take these matters in-
to its own hands ? 1t used to be some-
thing more than merely inadmissibIe
to compound felony. 'Fhy may it not
with as good reason be held in the
same repute as practice now? Has
the reflection never struck the public
mind, that the protection of society is
OF paramount Importance to the max.
ing good of individual losses,-and
that the merited punishment of crimi
mails is to be considered before the re
coyery Of moneys? The tendency to
put property before safety comfort be
lore the claims Of justice, and private
interest before the public morals, i,
one from which no permanent goo,
can be augured to society; unless I
revision and reversal of the new prac
tice is shortly entered Oh, it will u,
difficult to toretelI even the approx
mate confusion into which ali socia
matters will inevitably be thrown.
This matter. We conceive has reall,
gone 50 far as to make d serious requi
aition upon the public press to rails
Its protest against the further contint
ancc OF it. Unless we resolve TO $50

he Fish | Didn't Catch.

L remember my first tlshlng cXcur-
sion as if it were but yesterday. |
have been happy many times in my
life, but never more intensely so than
when | received that first fishing pole
from my uncle's hand, and trudged off
with him through the woods and mead
ows. 1t was still, sweet day of ear
ly summer; the long afternoon shad-
ows of the trees lay cool across our
path; the leaves seemed greener, the
flowers brighter, the birds merrier
than ever before. My uncle, who
knew by long experience where were
the best haunts of pickerel, consider
ately placed me at the most favorite
point. [ threw out my line as | had
so often seen others, and waited anX-
iously for bite, moving in rapid jerks
on the surface of the water, in imi-
tation of the leaping frog. Nothing
came to it. "Try again." said my
uncle. Suddenly the bait sank out of
sight. Now for it." thought |, "hefe
is fish at last" | made strong pull,
and brought up a tangle of weeds
Again and again | cast out my line
with aching arms, and drew it back
empty. | looked to my uncle appeal
ingly. "Try once more" he said, eve
fishermen must have patience"
Suddenly, something tugged away
at my line and swept off with it into
deep water. Jerking it up, | saw a
fine pickerel wri9gling in the sun
"UncIe Y | cried, looking in uncon-
trollable excitement, Il have got a
fish Y "Not yet" said my uncle. AS
he spoke there was a splash in the
water; [ caught the arrowy CLEAN OF
a sacred fish shooting into the middle
Of the stream; my hook hung empty
from the line. | had lost my prize.
We are apt to speak of the sorrows
of childhood as trifes in comparison
with those OF grown-up people; but
we may depend upon it, the young
folks don t agree with us. Our grief
modified and restrained by reason
experience and seIf-respect, keep the
proprieties, and if possible avoid {
scene; but the sorrow of childhood
unreasonable and alI-absOrbing, is {
complete abandonment to the passion
The dolls nose is broken. and the
world breaks up with it; the marble
rolls out OF sight, and solid globe roll
of with the marble.
50, overcome by my great and bit
ter disappointment, | sat down On the
nearest hassock, and for a time re
fused to be comforted even by D,
mcle's assurance that there We're NOR
fish in the brook. He retitted my bait
and putting the pole in my hands, tol,
me to try once more.
But remember, boy" he said, wit
his shrcwd smile, mower brag OF catch
ing a fish until he is on dry ground
Eve seen older folks do that in NOR
ways than one, and so making fools {
themselves. It's no use to boast c
any thing until it's done; nor the
either, for it speaks for itself"
How often since | have been rt
minded Of the fish that l didn't catch
When ! hear people boasting ola wor
yet undone, and trying to anticipat
the credit which belongs only to actaa
achievements, | call to mind that seen
by the brooll-side, and the wise ear
ton Of my uncle in that particular il
stance takes the form Of proverb {
universal application: Never bra
Of your fish before you catch him. :

vile sources that a negro woman died
from smallpox short distance from
that town, in Limestone County, a
few days since. Everybody on the
place became scared and would NOT
go aear the house, including thx
own II of the place, who wrote to I'll e
agent of the Freedmen's Bureau u
send some one to take the corpse out,
and he would burn the house. The
matter was referred to the agent at
Athens, Mr.. Conan. After day or
SO he replied, and stated that he had
made efforts to get negro men to 90
up and bury the body, Offering $40
per day and expenses, but no one
would engage to do it, alleging that
they would lose their situations on
the farms if they did so. At the
time Mr. Conan wrote, the corpse
had been lying ii the house three
days. We do not know, indeed, that
1t has been buried yet.

,Ia1imilian and the Americans.

A correspondent writing from
Mexico, of recent date, says:
The good will of the Emperor to-
ward the Americans has been shown
by the extension, within few days
past, to the American and Mexican
Steamship Company, of the right to
make Sisal, in Yucatan, stopping
place, as we'll as by the resolution
which the Government has taken to
anticipate the payment of the com
Pany of the annual subvention, which
does not fall due, by the terms of the
contract, before the end of May next.
The Mexican and American Express
Company also has received n conces-
sion of the right to transmit goods to
New York without paying custom
house fees or consular dues. Ame-
r1can capital is also understood to be
invested in the new railway line, for
which concession has been granted.
between Vera Cruz and Puebla, by
way of Jalapa. This was the old
Spanish highway to Mexico City, and
as Puebla is off the line CT the Impe-
nal Mexican railway, it will, doubt
less, when constructed, become q
formidable competitor of that route.
1t is healthy symptom of enterprise
on the part of the natives, that the
proprietors along the line are con-
tracing to supply the road with
sleepers i'll exchange for stock in the
company.
The rails are expected to be laid as
tar rs Puente Nacional by the end of
May next, and the Company are es-
tablishing their workshops in the
city of Jalapa. In this city the great
local question of the moment con-
Germs the drainage of the lakes around
the capital. At this time, the level of
Lake Tezcuco Is reported to be few
inches higher than the city, and, of
course, with the heavy rains of sum
mer there is great peril of a complete
lnundation. A native Mexican en-
g1neer, educated in Paris, Senor
Garay. is now at work on a plan of
his for draining the whole of this
water surface, and the press are ac-
lively discussing the merits and de-
mellts of his operations. Senor Ga
ray is vehement Republican, but as
he does not care to see all Mexico

gushing the intervention, he is de

Thursday Morning, March %, 1868.
Our Whole Country.

The result of the late unhappy
conflict has decided that the Union
is not to be dissolved, and that here
after the people of the United States
will continue to live under the same
Government, the same institutions,
and having common interest and
common destiny. It is, therefore,
policy and patriotism for every citi-
zen to use his best exertions to ce-
ment the bonds of friendship and
brotherhood between the people of
all sections of the country-to allay
passions and remove all causes of ir-
ritation or sectional strife.
The destiny of the country has for
tunately been entrusted to man of
nerve, a wise statesman and true
patriot. Whatever discord or strife
may be sought to be entailed on the
people by the fanatical course of ra-
dlcal leaders, we trust the people of
the South will no be provoked into
recriminations, or do anything which
may tend to a revival of strife or an
cry feeling. We are all Americans
now, and henceforth there should be
no North, no South, no East nor
West-at least, in feeling-between
our people as fellow-countrymen.
The best citizen and the truest pa
triot Is he who now works for the
elevation and prosperity of every
section. We have one common coun-
try, in which oil are Interested, and
for whose national prosperity and

AN IMPORTANT MOVEMENT
well-informed Washington correspon-
dent of the Baltimore Sun says that
the conservative Republican move
ment, inaugurated there by members
of Congress, will soon exhibit great
political strength, power and re-
sources. They possess every ele-
ment of political strength, and can
not fail to succeed in the campaign
for which they are preparing. They
have with them the Executive power;
they have with them the whole South,
and will necessarily have more than
half of the entire North. It is be-
lieVedt they will confer freely
with de President, and perhaps, I'M
der their advice, he may make some
Cabinet changes at an early day.
