article In question was directly provocative OF
the deadly assault which followed its publica-
tion. 1t should not have been published.
Every journalist ought to have blood as well
as ink in his veins. One should never write
what, as gentleman, he cannot properly say
about the private life of individuals of either
sex. Whoever may have written the offensive
article in the Southern Opinion-and it is
said that Mr.. Pollard did not write tit is
natural enough that Mr.. Grant should have
held him responsible for it. But Mr.. Grant
chose, to say the least an extraordinary mode
of revenge. Apparently he demanded neither
explanation nor apology. According to our
telegraphic dispatches. instead of facing his
antagonist in the street he locked himself in
room in the building opposite the Office Of
the Southern Opinion and from an upper
window shot and killed Mr.. Pollard.
This fatal occurrence, whatever its details
may have been, shows that the traditional
habit Of taking the law into ones own hands,
which was prevalent during the old slave
holding days in the South, has survived all
the changes wrought by our great civil war.
1t is not improbable that m(e than one
generation must yet pass away before the
spirit which originated and fostered this habit
shall become utterly extinct.

While the attention of our citizens has been
directed to the frauds upon the government
through the medium of the whiskey rings and
their accomplices in the Revenue Department,
and while their attention has been occupied
with the operations of Wall street rings, rail-
road rings, judicial rings, election frauds and
the like, that Industrious and enterprising
family circle at the capital known as the lobby
has been busily and quietly at work perfecting
Legislation highly profitable to its members if
not calculated to benefit the public. Among
other measures they have contrived to push
through Congress several acts '.for the en-
couragement of emigration" which means
simply to facilitate the swindling Of foreigners
who desire to make the United States their
home under the convenient shelter of the law.
Our Washington correspondent yesterday ex-
planned the objects and the operations Of the
emigrant companies organized under these
laws and of the manner in which they systc-
matically rob emigrants of their labor, their
time and their money. The facts show either
gross recklessness and ignorance in legisla-
ton on the part of Congress or corrupt col
lusion with those interested in the questionable
business.
The whole matter of emigration requires a
thorough overhauling. Our State Commits
sioners Of Emigration conduct their business in
q very curious manner, and Castle Garden, il
reports are true, is not the safest place to
which an emigrant can be consigned. The
new State administration cannot do better than
make searching investigation into all the
affairs of that Board-its financial condition
and operations, the treatment of emigrants,
the character Of the persons employed about
Castle Garden and all other details connected
with the commission. There is no department
in the city into which light can be admitted
to greater advantage to, the public interests.
The great reform in this direction, howev er,
should come from Congress. The whole bust
ness Of the care and protection of emigrants
should be placed in the hands of the United
States, and all the laws authorizing emigration
aid companies should be repealed. At presen
there is reason to believe that the most rascally
frauds are perpetrated on emigrants, under
official authority, and as the victims are
strangers to our customs and laws, and often
to our language, the crime is the more repre-
hensible.
The New York herald., 1868-11-26

Tho Alabama Claims-Our Washlnston Cor.
rcsp0ndence.
It will be seen by our special telegram
from Washington, publish ed in another column,
that our correspondent has got at the plan
Of settlement Of the Alabama claims, notwith-
standing the reticence Of the Secretary of State.
All claims on the part Of companies
or private individuals, citizens OF the United
States, upon the government Of England are
to be referred to three commissioners. Two
of these are to be named by her Britannia
Majesty and one by the President of the
United States. In case Of death, absence or
inability of any one of the commissioners the
contracting parties are to name another. They
are TO meet In Washington and act there at
the earliest possible period. In case the COM
missioners cannot agree upon any Of the
claims they are to select as arbitrator
one of the sovereigns of Europe. The
decision thus made is to be final.
Every claim is to be presented within six
months Of the meeting Of the commission, un-
less in unavoidable cases; then the time is to
be extended three months longer. This is the
substance Of the plan, but it may be modified
by our government. The appointment Of two
of the commissioners by Great Britain and
only one by our government seems to be rather
one sided, and this may be changed. At all
events, the British government by this pro-
posed convention admits its liability for the
claims.

become the brightest social festival of our
national capital, from the White House to the
cottage Of the humblest citizen, is destined to

and from the Mexican adobe towns Of Arizona
to the frontiers of Maine.
We, the people Of the United States, have
abundant causes for day of thanksgiving in
our bountifal crops and general prosperity, and
in our general exemption from pestilence,
famine and destructive fires and foundations !;
but we have also occasion for day Of
fasting, humiliation and prayer. During the
late rebellion jeff Davis now and then in
troduced day Of Thanksgiving, as, for in
stance, after the first Bull Run and after the ex-
pulsion of Mcclellan from the front Of Ric h.
mond; but after Grant took hold poor JEFF had
nothing but days of fasting, humiliation and
prayer. Things all went wrong with him, as
they have been going with US under Andy
johnson in the matter Of whiskey frauds, to-
bacco frauds and all sorts Of frauds upon the
public Treasury. We say, too, inasmuch as
Mr.. johnson has failed in all his endeavors to
put stop to this widely spread spirit of frauds
and corruptions, that after we have digested our
thanksgiving dinners he onght to issue, as
last resort, an earnest proclamation appointing
q national day Of fasting, humiliation and
prayer. II might result in good lift to Cen

The shooting Of Pollard by young Grant on
Tuesday last at Richmond was doubtless in
accordance with the universal unwritten law
by which, throughout the South, every man
feels compelled to avenge such insinuations
against lady relative as were contained in
the article published in the Southern Opinion,
with or without the knowledge of the late
editor of that newspaper No one was more
fully aware Of the binding force of that
unwritten law than Mr.. Rives Pollard. The
