capacity, or have not the energy to 20 at some
work to make themselves independent There is

The Philadelphia Inquirer says: Sat the meet

1858 for the expenses of lighting the city. The
appropriation OF last year for that purpose was
$42s so, and, according to the estimate OF ap
preparation OF the Gas Department, the amount
required for the coming year would be so7S o22oo

The sloop Lazzie Huston from Philadelphia, we
learn from the Norfolk Day Book, reports that
when about midway between Wolftrap Light and
Old Point Comfort, object was seen in the water
which was supposed tc be man swimming. The
captain Immediately ordered the boat to be lower
ed and manned, for the purpose of rescuing the
apparently nearly exhausted fellow-creature; the
men 'gave way" with will, and soon the swim-
mer was reached and found to be Scotch terrier

After twenty-five years cessation, races have

BALTIMORE, June 2l.-The first new wheat re.
ceivcd in this market was offered at the Com
Exchange this morning. The lot comprised sixty
bushels red wheat, raised in Chester, South Car.
olins The quality was good, the grains being
we'll filled and color bright. As usual, the FIRST
instaIment Of the coming crop was the object Of
much attention, and the offerings for It was quite
spirited. The lot was purchased by Messrs N.
A. Gassaway 4 Co, for $3.50 per bushel. Con-
sidering the present decline in the price Of old
whsats, this may be regarded as very liberal
price. So far as am informed, all accounts re-.
ceived from the South in reference to the wheat
crop, give assurance Of most abundant yield.
The crop in Georgia, it Is said, Is very heavy,
and some estimate that nearly 4 million bushels
Of good wheat may be expected from that State

BLOOD TOUCHES BLOOD.

BLOOD TOUCHES BLOOD.
Never in the history Of this country have
there been so many startling crimes rush
ing thick and fast upon each other till
blood touches blood as now, and the
thoughtful Christian people Of the land
ahudder with horror at this fearful carnival
Of blood and murder, as well they may.
On Thursday murder was committed
in this city, in broad daylight, and the deed
wns done with GOODNESS both marvellous
and strange. The nonchalant way in which
the perpetrator of this deed gave himself
mp TO the authorities indicates the belief in
his own mind that he had done no wrong.
BY the law of God and by human statute
murder is murder irrespective Of the pro-
vacations that lead to it, Thou shalt not
kill' is the fat of the Almighty and our
human law against murder is based upon
this Divine commando and we know not
who has the authority to set aside JEHo-
VANS mandate. Still, almost every man
You meet will say to you that Cole did
right in killing HrscocK that is if what is
alleged in respect to HrscocK's course with
the wife of Cole be true. SO also it is said
here JOHNSON did right in shooting SMooT.
Served him right" is the almost universal
exclamation.
Let us see how this matter stands. The
safety and well.being of a community de-
ponds largely upon its respect for and
rigid observance Of law and order. If an
individual may, when he deems himself in
Jjured by his neighbor in any one particu-
lar take the law in his own hands and ad.
minister punishment, why may he not do
it in every instance? And is it not this |
loose and false reasoning that is the pro- |
life parent Of the many crimes that now |
tread closely upon each other, and thrill |
the community with new horrors daily
II will be said that for the crime for which
JOHNSON shot SNooT there is no law which
cnjons an adequate penalty; and that,
therefore, the man who is so sorely grieved
and injured in so tender a point must, to
get proper redress, punish the spoiler of
his domestic peace by administering to
him death, and no escape. Precisely SO
there is no adequate penalty, but why is
there none? Because there is not in the
community a proper appreciation of the
crime in question. Adultery is a crime
deserving death, or it is not. Men in the
aggregate look upon the deed in general
way as triaing peccadillo, and so long as
It be kept from public notice well but
every now and then somebody aggrieved in
this way startles society by the perpetra-
ton of q deed like that on Sixth street last
Thursday and then oil these people cry
