The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1867-02-15

This species of jurisprudence is not unknown
to our legislators. Such a scheme would leave
the sober non-drinkng part of the people in
no way chargeable for the evil, and make
every tub stand ON its own bottom" which
is not the case at present 1t would not be
long before respectable people would find that
it did not pay and so they would quit the
practice. The mischief of the present sys-
tenn is that it is assumed that majority want
things as they are, and all are held responsible
for it.
The Social Eva Of Prostitmioa.-Th is
organic, and wants an organic cure. The pull
pit and the press must loldly hunt the sources
of the evil amongst which is the perrersion of
the sexual instincts. The history of monasti-
cism, or religious celibacy teaches that men
and women were intended for each other, and
we only separate the sexes at a fearful sacrifice
in morals. First. The separate school system
should be eXtirpated root and branch, and the
sexes always kept together while being edu-
Gated. Second. The law should encourage
matrimony by positive laws, such as the en-
dowment of marriage, say, by the bestowment
of one or two hundred dollars to each couple
who marry not later in life than thirty. The
prude and the shallow-brained may smile.
Thinking men know, Notwithstanding, that pow
erty, like gaunt spectre, has broken up many
a virtuously formed "match," consigning the
parties to pollution of nameless kinds. Third.
Society, by Its pride and folly, compels nun
dreds to live in celibacy because the means Of
living is grasped by others. They cannot
afford to marry; and so skulk into secret i'm
purity, or rush into promiscuous licentious-
ness-both ending alike in misery, crime, and
death. ..
Mr.. Peabody, like wise man, is scattering
his wealth as God scatters the rain and the
sunshine; but with the mass of over-wealthy it
is not so. Twenty per cent. of the Mr.. A. T.
Stewards estate, when he parts with it at
death, would leave his heirs twenty millions
at least, and of itself constitute an endowment
fund that would do more to put down lewdness
in New York city than all the police officers that
could be mustered. Marriage is Gods institu-
ton, and prostitution the product of 'high
civilization" in cities. Fourth Editors,
preachers, teachers, and all the in
huential classes should cease to allude
to marriage as a joke, but as quite as
serious duty as life itself, and as momentous
in its issues as death. When all these things
are done, such inquiries as you PROFOUND may
no longer be pertinent; but now they demand
constant discussion. NJ. A.

A Young English Nobleman Sent to
Prison.

The London Telegraph tells the story of
NJ erited punishment
Lord Ernest Vane Tempest-there is
curious appropriateness in his name-ls very
unhappy young man who belongs to a very un-
happy old family. He has long been an outlaw,
not of the jolly greenwood tree description, but
of a more prosaic character. In fact, his only
resemblance to Robin Hood consisted in the fact
that both gentlemen objected to the sheriff, and
especially TO his officers. Ten years and half
ago Lord Ernest-then a minor, but already eX-
PEELED from his Tegiment-met an officer in the
same gallant corps, who was standing in St.
James street. and affahly conversing--it was
after sunset-with lady of his lordship's &C.
quaintanCe. For reasons best known to himself
Lord Ernest addressed his quondam comrade as
coward and blacBguard, supplenenting aud
emphasizing those energetic words by splitting
in his face. The other officer aOes seem to have
been rather veXed at that form OF address
though, on the whole, he bore his injuries with
Christian patience, and nobly aostained from
warlike reprisals. Nemesis is slow, but sure.
Lord Ernest returned to England from his
outlawry; he expressed his sincere regret for
the outrage he had committed; but he was not
10 be allowed to get II scot free. In the Court
of Queens Bench yesterday, Mr.. Justice Black
burn, observing that fine would not be a real
punishment TO man in Lord Ernest's position,
sentenced him 10 be imprisoned for three
calendar months. The ofense was committed
long time ago, and possibly the culprit has
repented; but we cannot complain of the deci-
sion. such sentence will henceforth hang in
te7TOTem over the head of fashionable Young
ruffians who would not mind paying a fine, but
who have strong objection TO being locked up.
From this point of view we are bound to com
mend Judge Blackburn's firmness.
'The case is worth notice also from another
point of view. After such a story, duclling
must indeed be considered dead. SIR said an
indignant husband 10 his reckless friend, you
have abused my hospitality, you have kicked
me down stairs, and you have kissed my wife
before my face. Beware, sir! A few more
British lion y Lord Ernest called the other
gentleman coward and backguard, and then
spat in his face. A few more ou;rages might
possibly have reused the British lion; but the
gentleman deserves our highest admiration for
the moral courage which he has displayed in
only prosecuting his assailant in the Court of
Queens Bench. Decidedly, the Millennium is at
hand ~

The National Debt.

1t is said that there is powerful infiu
ence at Washington in favor of general
funding scheme covering the whole nation
al debt, thus extending the time of pay
ment of our liabilities, and meantime pro-
viding for its gradual liquidation by new
system of taxation.
This will entail upon posterity the debt
created by the folly and madness of the
present generation. Every fourteen or six
teen years the amount paid in interest will
be equal to the principal. The child born
to-day, and living to the age allotted to
men on earth, will see the whole debt paid
five times over by this scheme, while the
principal remains large as ever.
By paying the debt as it becomes due, in
legal tender notes, the whole difficulty will
be obviated. While the debt will remain
it will be in the shape of money, drawing
no interest, and the absorption of these
greenbacks by the Government can be
done without expressing any one, if it will
only set aside a portion of the amount now
paid in interest for this purpose.

Another Highway Robbery.

Last evening. shortly after dusk, as we
are credibly informed, a gentleman, while
passing up Prospect street, was knocked
down and robbed of $45 and a valuable
gold watch. Evidently rowdies and high
way robbers. of the lowest order, are on
the increase in our city, fearfully ominous
of high carnival of crime. We are una
BILE to learn the name of the unfortunate
victim in the above instance, but several
roughs are said to have composed the viii
famous party, all of whom managed, for
the time being, to make good their escape,
though hotly pursued by citizens who
witnessed the transaction. The police have
no cognizance of the affair.-Plain Dealer
The Metropolitan Police of Cleveland
seems to allow the thieves of that city to
hold carnival of crime. 1t will be the duty
of the next Legislature. by repeal of the
law and establishment of the old Po-
lice law, to check the onward march OF
crime in that city.

A SINGULAR loop hole is said to have been
left in the extradition treaty with Great
Britain, by which criminals, in every way
deserving punishment, may escape the PEN
atty for their misdeeds. A fugitive from
justice, who has run across the border into
Canada to shelter himself from the clutch
es of the law, may be recovered from the
land of refuge and made to stand his trial.
But convict who breaks Jail and flies to
the Dominion of Canada may laugh at the
acquisitions of President or Governor.

Pleasant Reading.

The Sandusky Register, a Rauical sheet,
reproduces the following, published just
before the election, as pleasant reading for
these days."
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
satisfactory statement OF the political pros
pect in Ohio. The best advices from all
parts of the State indicate tie election of
General Hayes by 10000 majority, and the
adoption of the Constitutional Amend
ment by 5000. The latter is gaining
ground daily.
The Gazette might retort by giving very
similar articles from the Register, published
about the same time. One of these, we re-
member, claimed that Negro Suffrage
would get heavy Democratic vote in Ohio
in its favor.
