MANY PEOPLE have thought it very queer
that the Rock Island K Moline Union failed
to publish the very able decision of Judge
Lawrence, of our supreme court, against
drum head courts and the usurpAtions of the
slate lamented" Judge Lawrence is a re-
publican, but his intellect, and not his parti
zan preiudices, controlled him in that very
able decision. The ARGUS published it in
full-but the Union has never permitted its
readers to see it. Why not?

MEXICO.

TIE loa3 and determined struggle Of Maxi.
milan to establish his authorities in Mexico
has ended ingloriously. The struggle wat
fierce, exciting and bloody, but the Mexican
authorities were too much for French valor
The result Of the whole affair j. that the Uni
tea States will, doubtless, exercise protecto-
rate over them, and the Mexican dominions'
vii. finally become part Of Uncle Sans soil.
This should havo been the case with tina
country long ago. It has always besn 9
isuism that Mexico was unable to take care OF
Aerssls T. ough her authorities aimed 81
liberalism, yet the fact is that government
somewhat akin to Limited Monarchy has al
vsys been in operation. The Mexican gov
eminent has issued her bonds, and q great
amount Of money has been invested in them
by Americans. II the government Of that
eonntry is finally victorious, which now seems
very probable, then will these bonds be worth
their face, Ard should the United States i,
fact, be her guardian, there will be no doubt
Of the payment of these bonds. We have 81
rays felt quite a deep interest in the success
u Mexican affairs and We hope that the trou-
bles will soon be settled and the government
.: that country placed on firm basis.

On but few subjects of practical morality do
heads of families need to cultivate and exer-
else sounder discretion, than in responding to
the calls for charity which are made by strans-
ers who enter their doors soliciting aims. The
really needy and deserving should by no
means be turned empty away; but our houses
aud business places are SO frequently beset by
mendicants, many of whom are in tact deceiv-
ers, that families, if they obey the dictates of
their benevolence, are oftentimes in danger of
doing more harm than good. Misapplied
charity is an injury both to the donor and to
the recipient. 1t takes from the first what
might be more usefully expenoed, aud one
rates upon the latter as a reward to idleness
and vice. -. .- ,-...,s 3.
It is quite impossible, at first sight, to dis
tinguish between the really deserving and the
unworthy. But as general rule it is safe
policy to offer the bestowal of aid in the shape
of reward for service. Ascertain if the appli-
cant is able to work, and refer him to some
place, IT you have it not yourself, where he can
obtain temporary or permanent employment.
II he seems reluctant on this, it is fair sus-
picion that he is no better than he should be.
If he is willing to perform convenient SER
vice in your behalf, the presumption is that he
Is honest in his story, and you may help him
with little Iisk vII- nj
!, Employment is often the best form of char
ity. 1t saves applicants for the time being
from idleness and the vices which generallv
follow in its train, and conduces to the health
both of their bodies and their minds. The
service, too, amounts to something like a re-
ward for the benefits bestowed; so that both
parties are made better by the arrangement.
