m ike these ,nccssions, adopting, as they
have done, substantially, the Congress
ional plan, though emitting the obnoxious
disqualiying clause, it they had not
become convinced of their own utter
powerlessness, and of the stern firmncss Of
Congress and the Northern people. We
cannot think as some do that the Prcsi-
dent has no hopes or wishes Of any further
success TO this plan than that of political
triumph at the next election, Though
we must disapprove Of the scheme as en-
tirely inadequate, we are disposed TO
rejoice IN the hope that it may lead TO
friendly discussion and the final adoption
of some practicable and permanent scheme
of adjustment which will be acceptable to
sensible and honest men Of both sections
of our country
The last cifusion Of the reconstruction
committee which was presented last We'd
ncslay, was entitled bill for the more
efficient government of the insurrectionary
States. 1t is a modification of the terri
torial theory and decided improvement;
providing for the division of those states
into five military districts and assigning
each to the command of brigadicr gen
cral "who shall have power to punish all
disturbers of the public pence, to try Of
Tenders by military commissions, and pro
hibit all courts issuing writs of hdjrds
corpus in behalf of persons in custody of
the military authorities" 1t is not de-
signed ns Il complete system Of recon-
struction and is rather questionable as an
initiative measure. 1t is. however, q
Just and necessary provision for the regu
a,ion Of the complicated relations arising
from the anomalous condition Of the lately
rebelious states. As such we hope it
may pass and become law.

A white man in Kentucky murdered
his colored mistress the oihc, day. but he
explained that he was afraid she would
toll his wife that lie hud child by her,
and Kentucky justice was satisfied. The

Of the cowardliest it appears, was released
forthwith. Much as we are used to start
ling reports Of Southern Justice, this case

seems that the taking of human he in
Kentucky is a matter of IA much in litfer-
encc AS the throwing away of bad cigar.

lets him go. As to how far the spirit OF
this hideous dispci.saiion is shared by 9TH
err magistrates, and by the public opinion
of Kentucky, we do not stop to inquire.
The state of things there must be almost
hopeless, if it is possible for any other
justice of the peace to set n murderer free
on personal explanation. Evidently the
n'go has one right in Keniucky, viii, h
white justice hardly disputes, and that is
the right OF being killed.

A IIlGu LIFE ELoPEMENr IN SCor-

the following:

so WAS the young gentleman of high
academic honors. The chambermaid in
the family confessed that they had left

parent resorted to the telegraph and other
means to stop the fugiives, and he was
successful, but only to find them INSOFAR
ably united and sumbering in each others
arms. 10 enraged was the old gentleman
that he dragged the bride from the en-
braces of the bridegroom, and was about
TO eject her from the bedroom, when all
the spirit Of cookies sex arising. she
colared her quondani' master and hurried
him headlong from the apartment. The
runaway son then endea. pred to explain
matters and pacily the insui.?d parent,
when the lady, not exactly rclisling her
peculiar position, nor the usage she had
received, seized her husband, and convey

bedroom, locked the door and left the old
gentleman to collect his scattered senses
and arrange his disordered attire. The
parents of the bride keep small grocery.

CHEAP Book MAKING. In nothing do
the present high prices tell more disad-
vantageously than in the matter Of books.
We do not refer TO those who are engaged
in book making and selling, but to the
purchasing community, that is. in this
country, to the mass of the people. We
are not aware that books have gone IN
in price beyond the average of manufac-
tured commodities, but that they are
high, lamentably high, every man, except
those iii nflluent circumstances, feels who
looks over stock or list with the desire
of purchasing. 1t takes but a small
volume now 10 cost two dollars, while
the best works are utterly out of the
reach of the majority, who are continually
pressed by the greater necessities of daily
life. They can economize in books, but
not so easily in flour, clothing and rent.
Nor docs there seem to be much prospect
of relief in the future, Judging from the
way in which tariffs, taxation and RESP.
lutions against contracting the currency
are voted upon at Washington. The
main hope rests with the book makers
themselves, who must again bring to bear
that fruitful ingenuity and indomitable
enterprise which have so often biumphed
in the history of American manufactures.
For these reasons we cannot but regard
such a publication, Tor instance, as that
of the Diamond Pickwick, by Ticknor &
Fields, as constituting an era in American
book making. Before its appearance,
whoever wanted to buy that standard
product of Dickens genius had to choose
between "chcap edition" Though not
so cheap, af or all, as this Diamond edi.
tion) of Inferior workmanship, and Il
single large and cumbrous copy. or one
in two volumes, both of the latter quite
costly. But in this new edition we have
"a handy little book for the freside or
window, tastcfully bound, OF 4Gj double
column pages, tho type small, TO be sure,
but very clear and readable, the paper
COOL and slightly tinted, an cxccllenlly
engraved head Of Dickens prelacing the
title page, and sixteen original illustrations

for'led at $3.50, or without the illustra-
tions, at ! %. AT any time this would
have been regarded as decided achieve.
mcnt i'll book making, but, in the midst
Of the present prices, it is certainly rs
surprising as it is welcome. 1t is bold
appeal to that portion Of the reading
public who have been debarred from the
enjoyment of Dickens by pecuniary con.
sideraiionq, for, Of course, the wealthy
will continue to purchase the high cost
editions; and it shows that the public
thus appealed to is very large, for Moth
