One Commencement Festival at least has
brought forth a valuable piooo of testimony.
At the triennial convention of the graduates
of the State Normal School at Salem, an
Address was delivered by Prof. Alpheus
Crosby, in which he said that corporal pun
"ishment-now almost renOunced as quick
"ener Of learDing-would become entirely
needless when School Committees properly
"co0perated with teachers in the mainte-
nance of good discipline" Exactly so. What
is wanted is not more fogging, whether with
cowhides, birches, ferules, and the like imple-
ments, but more thorough classification of
children upon some moral basis. which as
suredly it will not be hard to find. When
there is nothing left for it but to fog a boy
or girl, he or she should be banished to some
school kept especially for the refractory, aud
forced to stay there.

TEMPERANCE AND LAW.

The friends Of Temperance, at their recent
meeting at Saratoga,
R,soIred That we will demand OF the next Legisa.
law to enable the majority OF the voters OF any
town. CITY, village, or ward to prohibit the sale OF III
tOxicating liquors or beverages therein"
1t seems to us that this is q reasonable
and moderate demand. The Liquor Traffic is
the chief fountain of the Crime and Pauper-
ism whereby the community is so fearfuly
scourged and burdened. II incites fully nine
tenths Of the murderOus assaults now
so fearfully frequent. The Vineland ex-
pertinent has demonstrated that where
no Liquor is sold, there crime and pauperism
ara scarcely heard of, save Through journals
from rum selling localities AS a rule, the de-
voices of Total Abstinence add nothing to the
population of our crowded asylums, aims
houses PRISONS while heavily taxed to support
them. This is not fair nor just. Those who
profit by the Liquor Traffic ought to support
their own victims. And, since that Traffic is q
practical nuisance, those who believe it such
ought to be empowered TO abate it wherever
they are q clear majority of the body polite.
The World, on the 18th, plainly conceded that
the Massachusetts, Prohibitory Law would di-
minish Pauperism and Crime if it could only
be enforced. Yet it now insists that such laws
where enacted, should not be enforced. Here
is its manifesto:
"To nobody have we committed the custody OF our
appetites or the care OF our lives To nobody will
resent the presumptuous insolenoe OF the attempt
when 1t comes from majority Of our fellow citizens who
yes int into it's exercise ey shall choose CO drink or
no. to drink, making choice each man for him.
out OF his choice by powerfully compelling him TO

to varnish the operation into the aspect Of decency and
the semblance Of title 80 free men suffer and the law
each, limited only by the like freedom Of all"
This is simple Notification. ave do not
like this law; hence, we will not obey it,"
This spirit would make each man his own law
giver and resolve Society into chaos.
The World shrinks from the application of its
principles to the laws dealings with other vices
because

a friend OF zen. L. i. Blalf mas rcVlVeu u
letter. written by that gentleman in 1866, to
show that his respect for the Confederate
heroes, which he manifested so Extensively at
the Long Branch banquet, is no new thing,
but feeling which he has always cherished.
The letter in question is one introducing q
clergyman who purposed erecting "mOnu-
mental cathedral in honor of the Rebel
dead, and Mr.. Blair saw "nothing to disapproye,
"but much tOI admire, in this effort TO con-
"summate commemorate y their virtues of
constancy aud courage" The clergy
mans name is not given, but we presume he is
the Rev. Mr.. Rogers of Memphis, well-known for
some time as an advanced ritualist, and now a
Roman Catholic, whose project for monu-
mental cathedral attracted, about four years
ago, good deal of interest. Mr.. Rogers pro-
posed that the surviving friends Of Confeder-
ate warriors should DO allowed to erect in the
church statues, memorial windows, tablets, &C.,
inscribed with the names Of any individuals
whose deeds they chose thus to honor SO that
there was no reason why Booth, Wirz, or any
of the vilest agents of the Secession conspiracy
might not receive sort of canonizatiOn, and
the gorgeous rays through tinted panes shed
down upon the worshipers an honorable rem
iniscence Of treachery and murder. Gen. Blair
saw nothing TO dsapprove in this, aud much
to commend We can respect the personal
character of the men against whom we fought,
but we don't sec why they must be honOred
precisely because of their errors and onenses.
The hndest thing we can do for them is to
forget their past deeds, and look only to their
present and their future.
Gen. Blairs mistake is that of all the Demo-
cratic politicians. They are constantly strain
ing their eyes to look beyond the line; when
the war was at its hight, they watched for sal
walton not in the national arms, but in the de-
bates of JEFF. Davis's Congress. While our
soldiers were laying down their lives for the
Union, these foolish politicians were treason
ably corresponding with the Rebel President
Mr. Pollard has recently told us of the mass of
letters from Northern Democrats hidden away
in Mr.. Dayiss private archives of their offers
to subsst the Southern armies out of our
granaries and warehouses and of the COM
plete understanding between the Richmond
Government and certain members of the Dem
Ocratic National Convention of 1864. Anybody
who doubts that an important section of the
Democracy were intriguing during the war to
secure the triumph of the Southern arms, can
easily have his doubts removed by Mr.. Pol
lard. Their fault was the same as Mr.. Blar's
like the BOurbons they neither learn nor for
get. They cannot forget that the Northern
Democracy, for years, pinned its hopes of sue
cess upon the favor of the South, ilattered it,
fawned upon it, obeyed its slightest wish.
They cannot learn that war and emancipation
have changed the whole aspect of the political
field, and no party can now become established
in power except by identifying itself with the |
interests of all the loyal portion of the
country.

Our Government is paying off the principal
of its debt with rapidity entirely unprece-
dented. Yet Mr. Buckalew, in his address to
the Democratic State Convention of Pennsyl-
vania, had the extraordinary assurance to say
that the Democracy "did not believe that
"party ought to be upheld which had failed
"to extinguish, as it ought to have done, some
GIVE or six hundreds of millions of public
"debt.n As the Democracy is infexibly op-
posed to taxation and other means of revenue
we don't see how it could extinguish the DEBT
any faster, except by reputation. Is that

The Commons will not surrender their posi-
ton on the Church bill, which is to say the
Lords have lost their half hearted battle. The
glebe amendments have been rejected, one of
them without a division, and the proposition
to make tripartite endowment OF the churches
may be looked upon as dead. A half million
pounds will be allowed instead of private en-
dowments. The bill will go to the Lords al
most in its virgin shape, and, if their Lordships
are wise, they will pass it without qualification
or do the next best thing-pass it under pro-
test. They could not do worse than adopt the
Earl of Derbys text with that view. 1t is the
nrntest of the bull against the locomotive

line as a vote of her people should lndlca1ei
while Rhode Island should be halyed through

nectcut But local pride and personal asplIa-
tons will long delay, and may, permanently
prevent such contamination.
IF New-York below the Highlands were
united to eastern New-Jersey as the State OF
New-Jersey, while west Jersey were annexed
to Pennsylvania, people would wonder, after a
few years, how a change so obviously dicIateu
by convenience had been delayed so long

more States. The only question is one OF time

whereof her wild region west of the 24th

Puerco-will constitute one.
Let nothing be hurried. Let no attempt be
countenanced which looks to impelling or
guiding changes by outside pressure. But that

signal changes in the boundaries and coniigu-

MAST HOPE.

There seems to be no doubt about the re-
sponsibilty of the engineer of the freight
train for the horrible disaster on the Erie Kali
road on Wednesday night, and we presume
that something will be done to hold him TO
account. If the verdict of jury should agree
with the verdict of the public, it is perhaps
being too sanguine to expect that Griffin will
actually be punished, for we know by long ex-
perience that the carelessness OF officers Oh inc
law in such cases is almost rs great as the care
lessness of the culprits. But until an example
is made of some numbering engineer we despair
of making our railroads even toleraDly SAFE
IF the published reports of the affair at Mast
Hope are correct, Griffin deserves q term IN
the State Prison, and we do most earnestly
trust that he will get it,
Nevertheless, we believe that severe blame
should be visited upon the Company for the
loose running regulations which made such an
accident possible. The conductor of the pas
senger train knew, or ought to have known,
that a freight train was waiting at that spot
for him to pass, and that curve would pre-
vent his seeing it until he was close upon it.
The most ordinary prudence dictated that he
should reduce speed on approaching the SWITCH
and make sure that the track was clear. Yet
it is represented that his train came thunder
ing around the curve at full speed. We are
not blaming him, for he probably acted accord
ing to his running regulations; but the regu-
lations seem to be abominably reckless.
Wherever there is q single track, or wherever
there is slow train ahead of fast one, the
trains should be run by telegraph, so that each
would know exactly the position of the other.
1t should have been the duty Of the freight
conductor, for instance, when he reached
the siding at Mast Hope, to telegraph back to
Lackawaxen, five miles behind him; the sta
ton master at that place should have displayed
signals to the express as it passed, to indicate
where the freight train was, and also have
flashed word to Mast Hope that the express
was coming Then both engineers would prob
ably have been on the alert 1t is monstrous
that the lives of hundreds Of passengers should
depend upon the faithfulness of one man, who
may be asleep, may be drunk, or may be stupid

Congressman Coles letter on the Chinese
question is notable both for being a calm Cal
ifornia view of the case, and for the novel
suggestions it presents as to the destiny OF the
Chinese in America. Mr.. Cole finds that the
Chinese supplement the exact deficiencies OF the
Mexicans, and that Mexico, therefore, is their
inevitable future. The idea is striking and
attractive. Monaghan civilization could
not be worse than Mexican in the land of the
Montezumas, and it would certainly promise
to be a great deal better. But the remarkable
thing about Mr. Coles letter is that he is able
to look upon Chinese immigration as thing
not to DO stunned or repealed, but to be well

The most advanced proposal of the French
liberals is to demand the dissolution and
reorganization of the prefectures. To the
prefectures France owes the spread and
dOmesticatiOn of enslavement to the Empire.
The projects in every quarter of France are
the agents, the spies, the creatures of their
imperial owner, and to them the regular
authorities of the people yield. To the protects
France owes the bullying and fraud perpe-
trated in and about the late elections. A we'll

The disposition of the Yerger habeas corpus
case seems to us judiciOus. Involving as it
docs no less question than the constitutional
ity of military courts in time of peace, and the
consequent validity Of the Reconstruction acts,
it possesses gravity that quite warrants what
ever delay may be necessary for a hearing be-
fore the full bench of the United States Su-
preme Court. The arrangement for awaiting
decision from that tribunal seems wen-con-
sidered and equitable.
