HESTER VAUGHN.
- End of the latest New
York Sensation.


From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The grand committee from the New
York assemblsge of strong-minded wo.
men and weak minded men, held for the
purpose of making some D0toTiety for
themselves, by pretending en- interest Ia
the case Of Hester Vaughn, has discharged
its duty. The results, we imag. ne, have
not been very satisfactory. A consider
able portion of the proceedings in New
York was founded upon the assumption
that the woman was deserving, and that
the people OF this city and State cared
nothing for the so called unfortunate
young creature who was convicted of the
murder Of her own child. Indeed, so
hard-hesrted were our own citizens re-
presented to bs, that it was averred that
it was the duty Of New York to interfere
and teach US generosity and Christian
charity. The grand committee which
was appointed to take care OF the case of
Hester Vaughn, and to reprove the cold
heartedness of Philadelphia, has had an
interview with Gov. Geary, and learned
some things which must have had the
effect Of lowering the comfortable self
eonceit Ia which they held their own eff
forts. to the extent of several degrees. In
the first place, they have been informed
thst the assumption that, only in New
York is it possible to take Christian and
merciful part in the behalf of the young
woman, is gratuitous and unnecessary.
Women and men OF Pennsylvania had
long previously presented TO the Gov
ernor their views in relation to the mat
ter, and petitioned for the pardon OF Hes
ter Vaughn, SO that this sudden spBsm of
New York generosity, accruing five
months after the girl was liable to be
hanged, was entirely superfluous. Fur
thermore, as most pointed rebuke to
the liippant statements Of the New York
sensation makers, who assured each other
that Hester Vaughn was entirely inno-
cent OF the Oft5nss of infsntieide, Gov.
Geary told the grand committee that to
his own private secretary the girl had
confessed her guilt. This puts an end to
all the romance and touching psthos of
the stroBg-minded women aud weak
minded men, and proved how little they
knew, and, az they did not undertake to
gain Information, how little they really
cared for the case of the girl. We have
a right to assume that true philanthropy
had nothing TO do with this matter. Ii
was simply an occasion, which the
strOng-minded women supposed would
be an excellent one, for keening the
world in mind that they stHl existed.
NOtoriety they wanted, and they have
helped themselves to that spe-
cies of eslebrity. But they have only
done so by proving their Own ofiicious-
ness IN interfering in a matter already
disposed Of, and their ignorance of that
concerning which they pretended to be
most assured,

-Disraeli, in his recent speeeh before
his constituents ia BuckiDghsmshire,
when asking for reelection TO Parlia-
ment, gave mcst singular reason f0T
the prevalence Of FeniaBianl. First, he
asserted that Ireland was prosperous
Twenty-Five years ago, millions Of men
herded together In abject poverty, While
now they had better residences. But
Notwithstanding this Improvement, he
admitted that discomfort prevailed in
Ireland This condition he eiattriou to
the peculiar characteristics of the irish
race. The ITishmaD, said DisTaeii, is
very imaginative being, and lives In an
island with damp climate, and csntig-
uOUs to a melancholy ocean. With ex-
trEordinary talents he has 10 variety OF
pursuits open to him there is no nation
ia the world leading such moBotOnous
lives "a the Irish, beesnsG they have
only the cultivation OF tie coil before
them. Men are diseOntented when they
are not amused. But put s,n Irishman
ia a country where there is fsir field
for bls talents in g variety of oecupa
tions, and you will see the lTishman not
only equal but superior to most races.

Fcloe- Citizrns Of he Stnate aid HGu;e
cf Representatives.:
Upon tic reasschtlng Of Congress it
again becomes NY Gu'y To call your at
,entiou to tue state Of the Union, aud the
disorganized condition undcr !he various
laws winch have hcen passed upon the
subject Of reconstruction. 1t may he
sqfrly assumed as III axiom in the gov
ernuleu, OF ihc States that the creates,
wrongs inflicted upon u People, are
caused by uajust or arbitrary legislation,
or by the uurelenting DEGREES Of despClic
rulers. and tina; the ,in,ely repeal Of inju-
rious aud oppressive measures is the
greatest good hat can be conferred upon
Il nation. Tie legislator or the ruler
who has the wisdom and maguauimi'y to
rctract his steps when convinced Of error,
will sooner or later lie rewarded with tie
respect and gratitude Of intelligent and
patriotic people. Our own history, al
though embracing a period ol
l"ss than ccn'vry, Affords
abundant proof that most, ifnot all of our
domcstic troubts are directly traccablc to
violation OF the organic law and excess
s;vc legislation. The most striking illus
tra,ions Of this i,ct are furnished BY the
enactmcn;s OF the past three years upon
the question Of reconstruction. .Aircr
fair trial they have substantially failed
and proved pcrnicious in their results,
and there seems to be no good reason why
they >hculd longer ren!ain upon the sta
irtc books. States to which the Cons,i-
tuition granted a republican form Of gov
ernmcut, have been reduced to military
dependencies, in each Of which the people
have been made subject TO TIE arbitrary
will OF tho commanding general. Al
though the Constitution requires tha,
each State shall be represented in Con-
gress. Virginia, Mississippi aud Texas
arc yet exclued from both Houses. and
contrary to the express provisions Il that
instrument, were denied participation in
the recent election for President aud
