HoMIcIDEs. There is an evil in the
land of blighting and awful results,
which ought to receive the careful at
tention and study of young, as we'll as
old. It has become too common to
take human life. And why? Why
strike down our fellow -mortals as we
would brute? Is it right? Is it
manly? Is it mark of brave and
courageous man? There are a few
cases, and hnt very few. in which any
person is justifable or excusable in
taking life. Where there is imminent
danger of any one losing his own life,
or some member of his family, or
some one who is dependent upon him
fOT protection, and there is no other
alternative, then man would be doing
right to strike down the assailant.
But how few cases of this kind. Life
has become cheap. Men do not hes
itate to shed human blood. They are
reckless and wanton, and care not
what their evil passions lead them to,
SO they are not deprived of their en-
joyments and pleasures, They for
get that the eye Of the Omnipotent is
upon them, and that he has said,
"Whoso sheddeth mans blood, by
man, shall his blood be she'd"
The law has been too lightly re-
garded. There is too great a dispo-
sition to excuse the crime of murder
Our people must examine the causes
which led to the preparation of crime
more closely than they have
recently done. There ought to be
reformation-there must be, if we
would enjoy the fruits of the land,
and the blessings of God.
1t is more commendable to bear
with light evils than to take the law of
and retaliation in our own
hands, and for some trifing insult,
some thoughtless act, take the life of
our fellow nan. What must be the
feeling of that man who has rashly,
and without the most ample cause,
taken the life of another? Would he
not, in the majority Of cases, give his
right arm, if he could thus bring him
back to life? But pride, and fear of
the opinion of the giddy world, cause
many man to do what he would new
er otherwise attempt But, does the
opinion of the thoughtless crowd avail
him anything2 Is it not the veriest
bubble that ever foated on the stream
of time? In the silent hours of the
night. when all is still, and conscience
is alone, how must the man writhe in
agony when he feels that his fellows
blood cries out for vengeance The
greatest duelist in America, who had
ON more than one occasion shot down
his man, it is said, WAS so miserable
that he kept candle burning in his
room through the night, afraid to be
eft to the gloom of darkness. No
1oubt, horrid spectres arose before
lim, shook their bloody, ghostly
iorms at him, and seemed to say
thou art the man Greenville Ad
yocate.

ST. LOUIS, April 1s.--On Saturday last
DR.. VIM. Campbell, ofKnobnosterM Missouri

A Retrospect of the Session.
Especial to Cincinnati Enquirer


COLUMBUS, o., April lS.-Two hundred
and two laws were passed by the late Cen
eral Assembly, one hundred and seventy
five of which there was no more need of
passing than there is of your enacting into
q law some trivial matter about your office.
The general laws ought, and in many cases
do provide for the cases have named and
yet legislators must be industrious.
Legislatures must pass laws or else the
people will think that they do not earn
their money, and hence, year after year,
the volume OF laws are swollen to hundreds
of pages, when a sixteen page pamphlet
ought to contain every thing needed by the
State and its people.
You can hardly realize how much of
Puritan bitterness was exhibited during
the attempt to pass the bill allowing the
Catholics TO make a donation of their school
houses, which if accepted, schools, under
the CommOn-school Law, were TO be taught
therein.
Titus Oates Popish plot created no more
alarm when first broached, than this at
tempt of the Catholics to get into the COM
mon schools. Iankeeism took the alarm
as every one OF the Cody who had seen
and reverenced Plymouth Rock, felt as II
both church and State were in peril.

THE BASIS OF REPUBLICAN
GOVERN ENT.

ResolCed, That the several states composing the
United states, are not united on the principle Of
unlimited submission TO their General Govern
ment, but that by compact, under the style and
title Of Constitution OF the United states, and OF
Government for special purposes-delegated to
that Government certain definite powers, reserv-
ing. each State TO itself, the resduary mass OF
right TO their sclf-gOvcrnment; and thAt when
ever the General Government assumes undelega-
ted power, its acts are unauthOrtative, void, and
of no force; That to this compact each State ac-
cedel as a state, and is an integral party, its CO.
States forming, to itself the other party; that
the Government created by this compact was not
made the exclusive or final Judge of the extent Of
the powers delegated to itself since that would
have made its discretion, and not the Constitution
the me sure Of It's powers; but that. as in all
other cases of COMPACT AMONG POWERS HAVING
NO COMMON JUDGE, EACH PARTY HAS AN EQUAL
RIGHT TO JUDGE FOR ITSELF, AS WELL OF IEFRAC.

NEW YoRK, April ls.-The Rsrdld'S cor
respondeuce from Dublin and Thurles in
dicates very plainly that another and more
extensive Fenian rising is expected In Ire
land, and that the British Commander-in-
chief is forced to keep fully prepared fol
active eXertion at any moment. An action
which took place between three armed
Fenians, Mcclure and two others, and the
men of a British dying column, in wood
near AHtchellstown, was a most exciting
affair. The determined Bravery of the Fe-
mans, as well as the rapidity of their fire,
elected the admiration of the soldiers. The
three Feniaus fought one hundred and
twenty soldiers until one Of their number
was killed and the remaining two captured

Hanging of Murderer and Rob-
Der,

PHILADELPHIA, April 1S.-Albert Tenfcl
was executed at Doylestown this af-
ternOon, for the murder of Captain Joseph
A. Wiley, last November, in a row at a
tavern in Bucks County. Last night Ten
fel made sort of confession.
He had committed several murders in
early life, and had lived burglar and rob-
Der since childhood; he had stolen nearly
quarter of a million dollars; he had
broken open and robbed an express safe in
Ohio, some time ago, and obtained $4,000
in all, some of which was in bonds and
securities, which he destroyed; he had
committed robberies in Louisville, ST. Louis
and St.Joseph, from which he reaped nearly
$4,000.
He started for Pixies Peak with his i'll
gotten gains, and was robbed of every cent
on the plains, and was almost beaten to
death in the bargain. He came back AT
once, and proceeded to steal and murder W
to the time of his arrest.

THE NEW DIGGINGs From parties lately returned
from the Deadwood country we receive various and
conflicting reports-which is usually the case upon
the first returns from all new discoveries Some are
confident of success, in many instances basing their
belief evidently upon hope arising from SIM
pie collaborating indications strengthened by san
guinity of temperament and think the country must
develop far richer and more extensive than this Ba-
sin, their story reminding very much of the old
mans description of aacountry to hunter .sOh
yes it's fine place to hunt but very poor place to
find game = Others, not having found anything
themselves after few days search in country adj
mitted to be much larger than Boise Basin, unhesi
tatingly pronounce the whole thing grand blk
Many. less sanguine and more practical than the
first and more energetic than the latter, are yet
gagged in vigorous efforts to develop the country but
of whose success we hear but rumor-both hopeful
and discouraging. That some diggings worth work
ing have been found is certain that large scope of
favorable looking country yet remains to be prospect
ed is asserted by all those returned with whom we
have conversed and the chances are decidedly in IA
vor Of further and rich discoveries Scarcity of wa
ter proves drawback, to considerable extent, to
general and satisfactory prospect at this time Ma
rion More and party, among whom are are Green
White and Harry Bowman, are reported to have dis
covered gulch which prospects well some reports
placing the yield at two dollars per pan. Other dis
coveries of small gulches reported as yielding
from two to six bits to the pan. Mr.. John Pinney
came in Sunday He thinks the distance from this
place to Deadwood City for it must be known that
already town has been laid off, and christened a
city, too, about fifty miles, left there on Saturday
morning and arrived at P. NJ. Sunday; met with |
severe snow storm on the way, which he thinks ex-
tended to the diggings; reports favorable The fol-
lowing letter from well known miner and gentleman
to friend in this city, has been rendered us for pub
lication and may be taken the opinion of one en-
titled to credit concerning prospects, besides relating
what he knows to be already discovered The letter
