sent there for life for the murder of her
husband. She confessed the murder.
was senten enced to be hanged, and her
sentence was COMMITTED by the Governor
to Imprisonment for life. It has now
come to light that she is, innocent, bot
confessed the crime to save her guilty
son from the gallows. She has been in
prison four years. ae.srntz1ars 80 ia
Another case lately was cronicled,. in
which the mother killed her husband, in
order to save the life of her children.
In view of such things, it may be seri-
ously Questioned whether a mother .
love for her offspring is not even greater
than for the father of her children.

with sublime scorn, though Herschel is

the unlearned m inds, to find out from a
foreign doctor, that all the great philos-
ophers whose names we have revered
from childhood have been one great par

the mo st startling portions of Trastour' s

Climates are subject to extreme vi
cissitude. In the northern hemisphere,
the middle countries of Europe, Asia,
and America, will have, for centuries, a
climate warmer than the one actually in
existence at the torrid zone. Both Paris

regions of the icy zone; countries which

1t is announced that the Siamese twins, after
living to be fifty nine years of age, and raising
large families of children. have determined to
have the singular ligament which unites them
severed by a surgical operation. The reason
assigned for the act will be acknowledged to be
good ore. The twins have reached the age
when disease may be expected to attack the
system, and being at this moment in physc
ally healthy condition, are naturally apprehen>
sive that the one may communicate disease to
the other, which will prove fatal to both. The
ligamont uniting the twins is situated near the
vital organs, and by lapse Of time has been de-
veloped into q hardened, integumental link
by means of which such sensations and impress
sions are conveyed from one to the other that
a perfect physical unity is established between
them. Will the severance of this bond prove
a harmless operation, as for instance the ampu-
tation of a foot or hand. from which each will
readily recover? Or will It'll prove fatal to both?
The subject was discussed in the Academy of
Physicians and Surgeons in Paris many years
ago, but in consequence of the very diverse
opinions expressed attempt was made to
perform the operation. SAD

Lawlessness in Tennessee.

The Governor is daily in receipt Of
letters showing horrible condition of
affairs in about six or eight counties of
the State. Every night, armed bands OF
assassins and thieves, calling themselves
i" Klansmen of the Ku kluX, y are muir
dering loyal men, white and colored,
and applying the torch to their dwell
lings. 5a +.
The only remedy for these evils, as it
seems to us, is an extra session of the
Legislature and the organization OF a
militia force which will restore peace or
exterminate the outlaws. s-
We had hoped the leaders and jour
alists of the Democratic party would,
as th ey are able to do, prevent this law
lessness by discouraging it, and thereby
spare the Legislature and Governor the
necessity Of organizing the MALTA. In
this We are disappointed. Instead OF
discouraging, they encourage these out
laws and assassins. This trampling up
on law must cease. The long suffering
Union men of these counties must be
protected, let the consequence be what
they may Konxville Wing. es.5-

Peace not Wanted.

The following extract from leading article
in the Mobile Register edited by Forsyth, a
Tammany delegate), is fair sample which now
animates the Southern Democracy-the old
war spirit to which Blair catered in his revolu>
tionary letter, and to which the Tammany Com
vention has given new life and hope: .
"We scout the pretenses of the New York
World that what is done, although done wrong
fully, must be submitted to, and as the hate
and ambition of Radical Congress have forced
the principle of negro domination into our State
systems, there is no power consistent with our
own doctrine of Congressional non-in,ervention,
to get rid of it If that is the doctrine of the
Democratic party (Which, thank God! it is not)
we have nothing practically to choose between
Radical and a Democratic admin stration.-
Every true Democrat holds that the entire
batch of congressional legislation on the subject
Of Southern reconstruction is uncons ttutonal
and void in letter and spirits, indeed, MOTH
ing more nor less than an infection Of tyranny
by force of arms This, indeed, with the eues-
ton OF black supremacy and black suffrage
which lie at the bottom Of it, constitutes the
great distinctive issue between black Radical
ism and white Democracy in the pending con-
test" 500 IN balfg za eszesn4sl

ton. ..s....,t r..,.. v5stET hf+r
So sensitive is Governm ent's credit
that even the remote contingency of the
Democratic party getting into power, has
caused the paper promises to depreci
ate iE value. The rise in gold is the
measuer of the extent to which our cred
it falls. How supIemely absurd for the
Eastern Democracy to talk about re-
turn to specie payments, or about hard
money currency, when every thing done
by the party has directly opposite ten

ocratic Sheet thus pitches into both the plat>
form and Gov. Seymour.
"This is out and out reputation of a solemn
obligation as we understand it. to pay all of
the bonded debt in gold. On the question of
Reputation the democrats are boldly committed
to the baser alternative, and will reach the
main advantage where the heresy is fully cher
ished. There is no excuse for such proposi-
ton. 1t is both wicked and disgraceful. The
authors know very we'll that the money was
borrowed with the express understanding that
it was to be repaid in coin, and that anything
short of this is reputation of solemn cove
nant. Governor Seymour has always warmly
insisted on the obligation to pay the bonds in
gold. The platform is the very opposite of his
well>known views. How the two are to be
reconciled it is not for US to decide"
