How TO CHOOSE A WTFE.-~Dr.
Franklin recommends a young man in
the choice of a wife, to select her from
a bunch, giving as his reason that,
when there are many daughters, they
improve each other, aud fr0m emula-
ton acquire more accomplishments,
and know more, and do moro, than a
single child spoiled by paternal fond
ness. This is IA comfort to people bless
cd with large families.

Northern nnd s.n,hsrn Criminals.

The Radical papers throughout tho
North are assisting the proposed scheme
of military government for the South, by
publishing every Southern fact or nc
ton which by any stretch ofimagination
can be tortured into an outrage. 1t is
not to be doubted that Southern society,
like that of the North, is unusually dis
turbed and demoralized, but We have
not the slightest idea that any one
State in the South can produce crimi-
nal statistics which will not be over
balanced in extent by those Of the
North. BY tho last census We see that
Massachusetts. with total population
Of 1881. 900, had l2,7O0 criminals, or
one to every hundred citizens. Alaba-
ma with q population Of 96S, 900 had
l79 criminals, or one to every $3.50 cit
liens. Ii villainy and crime be the test
of loyalty, then is Massachusetts, pat
riotism most excellent, but il not the
government of the bayonet would be
far better adapted to her condition than
10 that of the Sonth.

are by this time not ignorant of our
wants; neither are they unacquainted

not seek Executive clemency, for we
have done nothing to evoke it. We
ask nothing but what is consistent with
the guarantees of liberty. II they deal
with the principles of humanity, we
can live with some hope that our wishes
may be gratified. If they adopt the

The ColleciorshiP.


The recent appointment to the Collec
torship for this District is creating con
siderable dissatisfaction. The bad feel
ing is confined to no particular class o
persons, 50 far as We can learn, but II
quite general, il not almost universal
Some aIege, and with great truth, as
we understand, that the appOintee is
not aud has not been an advocate OF any
part Of the political measures insisted
upon by the present Administration
and that his appointment, procured
through gross misrepresentation Of his
political status, is base fraud upon the
President. We shall not now inquire
whether this allegation il. correct. So
far as we are concerned, it would make
very little difference. if there were not
other, and to our people, more import
ant objections still to be stated. 1t
is the Presidents business, not
ours, to see that he is not swindled out
Of his patronage, and if he chooses to
disaffect his friends by permitting his
enemies tn bamboozle him ont of such
offices as may be in his gift, the less is
his, and upon him will the consequences
fall. Whatever may be the results OF
bad management or bad faith on his
mart, is his own concern. We prefer to
base our objections to this appointment
upon other grounds than the appointee's
politic,l views-views which will prob
ably conform hereafter as exactly as
could hc wished to the standard of or
thodoxy prescribed at the White House,
at least AZ long as the President retains
the power of removal.
We, in common with a large portion
of our fellow citizens, object to the new
Collector of Internal Revenue, on the
ground of incompetency and inelegibil-
ity. The laundering mismanagement
of this officer, in another department. OF
official life, is so notorious and unflat-
trring that from q profound sense OF
delicacy and commiserstion, we will
merely allude to his military career rs
the best possible evidence of his inca
pacity to fill with credit any RESPONSE
bic public position. Upon the question
of eligibility we quote the following
from the Internal Revenue Laws,page 4,
section 10:
That for the purpose Of assessing,
laying and collecting the duties or taxes
hereinafter prescribed by this act, the
President of the United States be, and
he is horeby, authorized TO divide, re-
spectiyely, the States and Territories OF
the United States and the District OF
Columbia into convenient collection
districts, and to nominate, and, by and
with the advice and consent of the Sen
ate, TO appoint an assessor anu a
collector for each such district, Who shdH
b, residents rithin the same.
Ifthe State of Maryland be part of
the First District Of West Virginia,
then is the new Collector elegible to his
position; but, if not, then as = resident
ofthe former State, he is incapable of
filling the place. Even were his ap-
yuintment legal, it would be an act of
Injustice TO the citizens Of West fir-
ginia to import their officers, but in
view of tie statutory requirement we
have quoted, this selection is not only q
wroag done the people bnt it is clearly
and positively unlawful.

Minority Report ON the New Orleans
Riots.

The minority report Of Mr.. Boyer on
the New Orleans riots argues the Illegal
ity of the Convention, and states in re-
viewing the origin of the riots, that 1t
was acts in the deliberate intention of
the conventionists which produced the
excitement and brought out the commo-
ton. He dissents from the opinion OF
the majority that the riot was deliber-
ately planned by Mayor Monroe, and
refers to the evidence to show that tho
first shots were fired by negro at q
policeman, and gives credit to Lieuten-
ant Governor Voorhees, for having origi-
mated timely precautionary measures,
which, if carried out, would have pre-
vented the riot, and which, fail
ed from no fault of his. He
saws the Presidents act exhib-
hibited him as Chief Magistrate actu-
ated by sincere desire to preserve the
public peace and uphold the law. In
no degree whatever is the riot attribu-
ted to the Government of Louisiana. If
there be any members of that Govern
ment in whose act the remOtest cause
for the riot is to be traced, they are
Judge Howell, who headed conspiracy
to overthrow the State Constitution,
and Governor Wells, who sent his official
sanction to the conspiracy, but Oh the
day of danger deserted his post without
an effort to restore public peace; and il
there be any members Of the Federal
Governments, who are indirectly respon-
sible for tho bloody result, they are
those members of the present Congress,
whoever they may be, who encouraged
tlIese men by their councils, aud prom.
ised to them their individual and official
support. H. c. ~ -s ~-F
