THE LADS RBN.4 NDED FROM THE
HOUSE or REFUGE TO THE PENL-
THNTTd PY


ABOUT ten days ago, two boys were con-
victed of larceny and sent to the House of
Refuge. The officers of that institution,
however, returned them to the Court as in
corrigible offenders, when they were SEN
fenced by Judge Paxson to confinement in
the Eastern Penitentiary for two years and
ten months. The case has excited consider
able comment, but the reason for the action
taken is not generally understood, and as the
attendant circumstances serve to illustrate
some of the defects of the existing system for
the repression of crime, we shall give brief
recital of them here. Both the young crimi-
mails in question had previously been inmates
of the House of Refuge. One of them (Mul-
doom was committed in June, 1867, for in
corrigibility and larceny, upon complaint of
his mother, and he remained IN that insti-
tuition until September, 1869, when he was
given up,to his mother, who was then a resident
of Baltimore, by order of the Board of Mana
gers, with the expectation that he would ac-
company her to that city. Instead of taking
this course, however, he ran away on the
morning after he regained his liberty, before
he had been taken from this city, and in COM
pany with the other young criminal (Cluf)
and other associates, he commenced the series
of petty thefts which subsequently resulted
in his arrest and conviction. Cluff had been
committed to the House of Refuge in
May, 1867, upon complaint of police officer,
setting forth that he had run away from his
home, and was in the habit of keeping bad
company. In October, 1869, he was bound
to a farmer residing near Titusville, New
Jersey but after remaining there few days
he ran away, returning to this city
to rejoin his criminal associates,
to commence with them a series of
larcenies, and to be concerned with his former
companion in the House of Refuge in the
thefts for which they were jointly convicted.
When these boys we're remanded back to
their former quarters, on the 18th of Decem-

AN ANEcDoTE OF ADMIRAL FARRAGUT.
Daring the excursion down the Boston
Harbor last week, Admiral Farragut
told the following anecdote of former
times
Just so years ago the present month
the old frigste Independence was coming
through the Narrows, in charge of the
pilot Wilson, bound into Boston, Farra-
gut then being young midshipman on
board, aud as he was standing by the
man at the wheel, the executive officer
Of the ship seeing coasting vessel
directly ahead suddenly shouted !:
- Helm hard a-starboard !" but Wilson,
seeing the imminent peril of such an
action in so narrow a chanel, only re-
piled: "Tell them to say their pray
ers," and the frigate kept on her
course. In moment more the vessel
was run over and sunk but fortunalel,
her crew safely scrambled on board the
frigate as their craft disappeared IN
der the waters. The anecdote was
told to illustrate the bravery and cool
self-possession of the Boston pilots
for the prompt action taken by Wilson.

brief extracts:
PRAYER By HENRY WARD BEEcHER.
Almighty Father, we call upon Thee
to look down upon aud bless rs tbis
day in the work of dedicating a mon
ument to the memory of the bonored
dead who yielded up their lives in the
defence of their country. Bless sll
that are here assembled in the life.
We ask not Thy blessing for those who
lie beneath the green turf for Thou
hast given to them biissful immor-
tally. o, Lord, bless the fathers of
those who fell here; the mothers,
whose hearts were more deeply wound
ed BY the sword of affection than the
dead ones by the sword of war. Bless
the widows and the orphans, and may
they not suffer from the loss of their
dear ones May their lot be easy, and
their cares lightened.
SENATOR noRroN's ADDRESS.
When the monument we are about to
dedicate shall have crumbled into dust;
when the las. vessel of this cemetery
shall have been obliterated by the
hand of time when there shall be
nothing left of all we see now but the
hills, the valleys, the streams, and the
distant mountains, the great battle
which here took place, with its far
reaching consequences, will still live
in history. Nations have their birth,
youth, maturity, old age, and death
aud ours, though we call it eternal,
md our institutions immortal, will be
40 exception. But though nations
must pass away, and all physical evil
ience of their existance be lost, yet
nay they live through all time, in the
brightness of their examples, in the
glory of their deeds, and in the bene-
icence of their Institutions, These |
ire the inheritances they may leave to
he far coming centuries.
Mr. Lincoln, standing IN this place
ew months after the battle, and while
-et the conflict was raging, dedicated
himself to his country, and to the
ause of liberty and union. The de-
non Of rebellion afierward exacted his
life, but the inspiration of the words he
poke is resting upon US to-day. The
.reat prophecy he uttered when he
aid "the nation shall under God
ave a new birth Of Freedom and
hat the Government of the people, by
he people, and for the people, shall
lot perish from the EARTH" is being
He sealed his devotion with
lis blood, and sacred be his memory.
he eloquent Everett, who spoke here
u the same occasion and who has
ince passed from earth, said " God
less the Union it is dearer to US
rom the blood of brave men which has
een shed in its defence" As l stood
y them and listened to their inspiring
lords, my faith was renewed in the
rinmph of liberty but imagination
allied to stretch forward to this aus
icious day. The march of events has
zen faster than our thoughts, and the
ruits of victory have already exceeded
ur most sanguine expectations.

Significant.

1t is stated that scarcely single
member of the last Legislature who
voted for the ratification of the FIJI
teenth Amendment has been reelected
We think there may be two or three
exceptions, but the Amendment men
have been SO generally retired that
there is no room left to doubt that the
people of the State, without distinction
of party, are opposed to extending the
ballot to the negro. Why then do those
'1oyal" leaders and papers, who claim
to represent the people, insist so iierceiy
that full negre equality must be al
lowed before the question of white

Never Surrender.

After what the Democrats have
achieved in the late election, it is to be
hoped that no Democrat in West Vir-
ginia will ever allow himself to be dis
couraged from working to secure the
success of his ticket. Three Senators
have been lost in the Second, Third and
Fourth Districts and probably two in
the Tenth, just because the Democrats
would not believe that the Radicals
could be defeated. Oftentimes the
best opportunity for victory comes
Immediately after a bad defeat.
1t was certainly so in the cases
named, but the supineness and de-
moralization of some of our friends
prevented the great opportunity from
being properly used. Let this be les
son for the future.

Re.uIt in the Ninth District.

A letter from Union, Monroe county,
advises us of the election of Mr.. Is. ID.
MCG1NNIs, Democratic candidate for
the Senate, over A. r. HUMPHREYS, the
NAT HARRISON representative. Raleigh
county alone gives Mr.. MCGINNIs 29l
majority. This is certainly an unex-
pected result. Under the manipulation
of Judge HARRISON and his tool, CALp'
WELL, President of the Board of regis
tration, Greenbrier county gave HUM
pHREYs q small majority. This we re-
garded rs citing his election, because
we supposed the influence of this infa-
nous Judge 10 be equally potent in the
other counties of the District. In this
it appears we were mistaken, and we
gladly confess our error.
The impeachment of HARRISON may
now be confidently expected. He de-
served impeachment long ago, but he
was SO strongly backed up by his
pious and patriotic protector, Governor
FOREMAN, that to attempt his removal
has heretofore been deemed worse than
useless, But times have changed
somewhat since "loyaW Legis-
lature, changed for the time
by an easy transition into
"loyal' mob, kicked poor HoUNsHELL
out ef the State House for his temerity
in preferring charges against the most
corrupt scoundrel that ever disgraced
the judicial bench of our State.
Loyal" sentiment in this city, which
through the press and privately then sus-
tanned the sole leather movement for
refating the charges against NAT HAIR
RIsoN, has become sufficiently improved
in tone to contemplate with satisfaction
the displacement of the great exponent
of the "Black Crook" His removal is
demanded by nearly all the people out
side of his District and by about niae-
teen-twentisths of those in it. 1t is
fair to presume then that speedy resig
nation is NAT's only resort to avoid the
Just deserts he has already escaped too
long.
1t is even stated that at least one of
the Monroe county delegates, elected
on the ticket with CARPENTER of Green
brier, HARRIsoN's chosen tool, will ia.
vor impeachment measures. This is
more than anybody looked for, but the
public will be gratified to be assured OF
its truth. If the late election had done
nothing else, the choice of Legisla,
ture sufficiently just to make HARRISON
answer for his crimes would have been
a great triumph for the right.
