A Young Lady returning to her country
home, after sOJourn of n few months in the
City, was hardly recognized by her friends.
In place OF the coarse, rustic, flushed face, she
had a soft ruby complexion OF almost marble
smoothness and instead OF twenty-three she
really appeared but eighteen. Upon inquiry
as to the cause OF SO great a change, she plain
ly told them that she used the CircHSsian

We publish this morning letter
from Governor Peirpont in regard
TO the Covington and Ohio Rail-
road, or rather the Chesapeake and
Ohio, AS it is now called, that will be
read with general interest by the people
ofswest Va, all of whom are indirect
" interested in the enterprise, and
MANY of whom have local and special
interest in it of the most important
character. The idea of Il national
freight railroad line, or lines is new
10 our reading, although the Richmond
Dispatch says that something of the
kind was preached in the last Congress :
TIE line pointed out and advocated by
the Governor, however, was not alluded
20, nor do we understand that the de-
tail OF facts and statistics upon which
he bases his programme have been Civ
en- TO the public in connection with any
uroposed ute. He applies the
data presented in his letter with great
clcnrness and force, on behalf of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Ioute. We con-
TESS TO being profoundly impressed
with the magnitude and importance of
the states maulike views presented by
the Governor, and we cannot but think
that in some shape or other. either un-
der the auspices of Congress, as he pro-
poses, or under the control of "A corpo-
ration. as at present proposed by the
Commissioners of Virginia and West
Virginia, the idea ola great freight rail-
road line, will be carried into effect.
We look TO the railroad convention that
meets at White Sulphur Springs, in
Greenbrier county, on the 10Th to give
to the public an elaborate investigation,
and report upon the scheme. In the
meantime, we commend a careful read
ing of the Governors striking letter TO
our West Virginia people.

the hands OF the Mexicans seems to be
reliable. 1t appears that he was tried
by coul t-martial, aud shot OH the 18Th

man will be generally, regretted in this
country and in Europe, fol, think ofhis
adventure as We may, his private char
acter as we'll as his heroism were snch
as TO command general respect ne
could have escaped from Mexico moh'ns

still stood true to his desperate for
tunes. To the Government OF the Uni

halfof his life, and that had sent IA spe-
cinl messenger to intercede TO that effect
his death is little else than an Rngrate'
full insult. a people worthy of the aid
that our government gave them, esps
cially as without that aid they never
could have succeeded, would have re
spected such Il request AS was made o
them. The conduct of the conqueror:
in defiance of that request, shows how
poor an investment we have in them II:

The New York; oWrnakof Commerce
is showing the failacy of the common
saying that Reforms never go back
ward. Tho editor says:
1--WE are continually encountering
this motto or war-cry of "Progress' In
newspaper editorials, in speeches and
in resolutions of public meetings. 1t is
one of those well-sounding proverbs
which ardent and enthusiastic persons
like to believe, and therefore they viii
not take the trouble to look below the
surface of it, where they would be sure
to see the underlying tallacy. They
wish TO be deceived, and they are de-
ceived. The fallacy lies in the mean
ing which they attach to the word re
forms:" by which they may designate
all kinds of crochsty experiments to
remedy the evils, real or fancied, OF
human society. OF these there are per-
hans a hundred propounded every year
in different parts OF the civilized world;
aud each one of them is tOndly believed
by its protector TO he the only P"naceH
OF social ills
The editor thus proceeds to illustrate
his argument, by recalling the fate OF
various progressive" ideas, that have
lived, or are living, these latter days.
For instance
1.-THE abolition of capital punishment
for murder is one OF those reforms
which, unless all the indiCa ions are
deceptive, is already on the retTograde.
Like many other plausible reforms it
has won over largs number of peO-
pie. There are some excellent argu-
ments in its favor-nOne better, per
haps, than that old one of Bulwer's,
that 1.-The worst use you can put man
to is to hang him." But society, think
ing over the matter calmly with refer
ence not merely TO the feelings of the
individual TO be hung, but TO the inter-
estS OF the rest OF mankind, does not
see its way clear to the acceptance of
this reform. Legislatures, though
petitioned every year to abolish capt.
tai punishment, are refusing to do so.
Two or three States have done 1t, but
their experience has not been such as
to lead others 10 initiate them. On the
contrary, the direct effect of this Excess
sive maudiin sympathy for the red
handed murderer is to glorify homi-
eide and make it, as it is now, the COM
monest of crimes. The bloody record
which we confront daily in the news
papers, will not render society dis
posed to tighten the punishment of the
murderer.

one OF the symptoms of what may
perhaps be called reaction in the Lon
don Tunes in favor of this country, may
De found in a recent editorial article on
our national debt and the nature of our
taxation. In comparing the excise sys-
tenn OF the United States and Great Bri-
tain, the Tunes fairly does US justice
criticising our income tax and its open
publication even less severely than
many Of our own newspapers. The
manner in which this nation has borne
a sudden and hitherto unknown bur
den oftaxation, and already paid of
quite a respectable fraction of the pub
lie debt, ia a cause of mingled surprise
and admiration to the Tunes; aud that
the last year has not quite equalled the
wear before in this respect is easily eX-
cused. The paper referred to says
The statistics of this year, however,
must necessarily be regarded as excep-
tional. 1t is year of collapse after in
fulton, and the wonder is not that the
public income from this source should
have fallen of. but that so immense a
revenue should still be raised. The
people Of the United States, 5000, 900
ia number, contribute $4,000. 900 to
the Treasury, besides very heavy pay
ments in the shape of State taxation.
or this SUN. more than two-thirds is
exacted under the various items OF
what we term Inland Revenue, SO that
the pressure upon the community may
be easily imagined. Before long, the
Americans will probably find it advisa-
Bile to relieve the industry of the coun-
try by some remission of its burdens,
but ii really deserves notice that the
very people who were once accused of a
tendency towards Reputation, have
made the most extraordinary efforts
ever known toliquidate their debt. By
this Time, however, they will have
learnt that, as far rs the public creditor
- concerned, it suffices that the interest
should be certain and the principal Sc
cure. On these terms the debt may
safely be left undiminished until its re-
ductiOn is plainly for the advantage OF
the debtors themselves
TheIast statements from the Treasury
Department show that even with the di-
InInished revenue of the present year,
the decrease of the national debt has
not altogether ceased, as the Tunes
feared must have been the case. But
whether another year will show that we
have reached that point or not, we
shall be glad to find our transatlantic
contemporary endorsing our securities
so effec,ually that our five-twenties
will find n good a market in London
as In New York.

TIE Worcester, Mass, Star, in allu-
ding to the presence Of Secretary Sew
ard. at the Masonic celebration, adverts
TO his former opinions concerning the
order and to his action when the politi-
cal crusade was made against it: 1t
says that the members of the order in
the summer Of their prosperity are will
ing to extend the hand of friendship TO
those who in the dark days, stood at
the gates of their temple, forbidding
any one to enter. Concerning the
Secretary of State, it says: when the
national anti-Masonic convention was
held in 1880, TO consolidate the floating
sentiment into u permanent political
party, man who has since had oppor-
tuniIies for power greater than those of
any man living, presented n platform,
filled with accusations which time has
shown were9not deserved, and with
predictions which have not been veri-
fied. To-day, helps to swell the

triumph, TO remind the unfortunate
seer OF the singular falseness of
pEophesies.

THE staple of the leading articles Of
the National InteItigtncer, just now, is
the letter of General Sheridan to Cen
eral Grant. 1t calls upon the former to
apologize both to the President and the
Characterization his "disrespectful"
language, and upon the latter to court
martial General Sheridan on half n
dozen charges, any or all of which it
claims can be amply sustained. So far,
this gratuitous advice has no percepti-
BILE effect. A demand was made upon
the Presid ent even before he returned
to Washington to summarily remove
General Sheridan from his command.
That failed to accomplish its object. II
General Grant has seen anything in his
subordinate's conduct worthy of CEN
sure the fact is not yet manifest: and we
have yet to learn that General Sheridan
finds himselfin position from which
he thinks it necessary TO retreat.
"Disobedience OF orders" is one
of the counts in the indict-
ment of the InteILigeucer. The
'disobedience," however, is not appar-
ent. The Presidents order was for
General Sheridan to extend the time of
registration in LOuisians unless he had
case to give those reasons. General
Sheridan decided that ne had good reR-
sons for not extending the time, and
these he furnished in his letter to Gen.
Grant. If the language used grated
on the ears of the President, and II he
complains that the reply to his commu-
nicaIion was sent through General
Grant instead of Adjutant- General
Townsend, we think the treatment OF
that officers former dispatches, rs sug-
gested by our Washington correspond
eut, will go far toward explaining,i if not
justifying his present course. But
however this part OF the question may
be considered, the charge that General
sheridan had disobeyed his orders is
both malicious and absurd.
