THE NATIONAL ORPHANS HOMESTEAD
AT GETTYSB URG.

IN another column we publish an appeal for aid
from the directress of the Gettysburg Home
stead for Soldiers Orphans. 1t is desired to
raise an auxiliary contingent endowment fund
for this institution, and it is to be hoped that the
loyal people of Philadelphia will respond in
such generous manner that the institution will
be placed upon firm basis and secured against
any fear of need in the future. The claims of
the Gettysburg Homestead need no urging; the
care of its inmates Is sacred duty imposed upon
our citizens and if all who feel interested or
have any appreciation of the duty they owe to
the memory of the brave men who died that the
nation mi ht live, will contribute according to
their means, no matter how small the donation
may be- the directors will without difficulty be
able to carry out all their benevolent intentions
There are very few persons who cannot afford
TO give at least a dollar, If not more to such an
object as this, and if all who can give will do So,
there will be no difficulty in raising all the
money needed
The Gettysburg Homestead has now among its
inmates soldiers orphans from eleven different

placed in the pillory and remained the full hour He
appeared lost TO all sense OF shame, and evidently
she punishment was having but little enect upon
him. He amused himself by whstling, laughing and

much politeness his position would allow AT the
expiration Of the hour when the jaOr took him from
the pillOry he rubbed his wrists gave laugh, and
springing down the steps, walked back to prison as
uncOncerned as though nothing had occurred
The whipping was postponed until O'Clock 80
that If any others were sentenced to be whipped be-
fore that time the loathsOme job could be performed
at once. The crowd expressed themselves disap-

the show, and stay they would II it did not come OF

O'Clock the Sheriff was frequently urged with oaths
to ''pile 1t on" TO "give him -" and Ike charac-

-Four O'Clock arrived, and no others having been
sentenced, the prison gates were thrown open, and

yard. In few minutes Luton, in company with
the jailOr and Sheriff, made his appearance, His
hands fastened to the post back barred, and in
quick succession the hash fell thirty times, leav-

ridges.
Notwithstanding the urgent appeals to the Sheriff
to brutalize himself, he remained man true to the

that humane man like Sheriff Richardson had per-

DIR MODERN PHARLSEES.

THERE are in existence at the present time
numerous classes of protesting Chrstians-men
who would have made broad their philacteres
had they lived in the days of the Pharisees-who
are doing incalculable injury to the cause OF
religion by their bigotry and intolerance. ms
sort of church member is not at lar intervals
scattered through the world, nor Is ne at all
rarity in every denomination and every congre-
cation, but has become at last so large and infu-
entaI AN element in the faith, that the whole
mass is likely to be leavened. Against such we
would urge the concentrated denunciation OF all
who have true love for the beauties OF the
religion of God These zealots we can divide
into two great classes and 1t is hard to tell which
of the two is worse. The one class consists OF
those who deny to their brother Christians OF

Negro Justice.

Aggus, that justice was meted out to an offending
negro and to a 'Looker-on in Vienna" who chose to
object to the proceeding
ION the following Friday the negroes in the
vicinity banded together and arrested the negro Of
Tending, and proceeded with him to Dresden. On
arriving at that place they found no county officers
and were at loss to know what disposition should
be made OF him. The citizens Of the place advised
them to take him to Waco and place him in the
hands OF the military. This at first assented to,
and they proceeded about mile on the way. They
halted to counsel the propriety
OF giving their criminal over TO the military, 1t
feared that the military commander would cause the
negro to join the army, and tnat he would back
to avenge himself upon those who then held him.
They finally concluded to hang him. which was done
in short order A negro in the party raised such
strenuous objections to the procedure as to raise the
ire of the mob, and they proceeded to hang him also,
a fitting episode to the affair."

Your correspondent looks upon this mea-
sure as a step in the right direction.

upon, to authorize this or that city or county
to erect work houses, orphan Asylum

cause orphans, widows and the infrm have

of the father, in most instances, of the mother
in some, have left no home or place for them
on Gods earth.
Now what is the remedyl The answer Isl
encourage the building of homes, and pro-
tect them against improvidence and misfor-
tune. But it will ruin the credit system
and the poor cannot get what they want.
The credit system which results in turning
widows and orphans out of house and home
to be supported by the charities of the State
by taxation, ought to be ruined and the
quicker the better.
To-day an act passed the Senate, allowing
bills of exceptions, in civil cases. tried by
justices of the peace, whether jury is en-
pannelled or not. They are now allowed in
jury cases only.
The city is full oflobyists, for various pur-
poses, and some members are enjoying good
things "BithOut money and without prices, .

expression in favor of rebuilding the Lunatie

This afternoon, the question was up in the
House, to amend the constitution by striking
out the word "male." SO as to let the women

Mrs. Lucy Stone Blackwell being in town,
the friends of the bill procured the consent
of the hoase, for the lady to address them,
which she accordingly did. The House was
well packed with members, Senators, and
ladies and gentlemen'of the city, in large
numbers. So you see, the great question of
women suffrage, has reached US here, in full
force.

New Money order SVstem.

On the 1st of February, the money
order system between the large towns
of North Germany and the United
States was inaugurated. The plan is to

North German Union and the United
States, and issue orders for the same on
the agents of the North German Lloyd,
the amount to be limited to about $50,
and to be calculated at fixed rate of
exchange for both countries. The ar
rangements viii be similar to those al
ready made by the American Postofiee

forwarded report to the War Department
concerning affairs in Arkansas, as observed
in his rec4nt visit to thal Strte. After re-
ferriDg to The disorgauizsd state of society
there at the'cl6ss of tie war, and instances
of ias slessness ahd bloodshed which follow
ed. to bring about 8 better condition Of
things he adopted the plan of dividing the
State into districts of the Southwest, North
west Nottbeast ard Southeast, assigning
commanders to them; of placing the several
counties wherein the execution of civil law
was a failure, under martial law; and of or
ganizipg movable force ofmiIitia to pursue
and arrest Or drive from the State The OUT
laws. Th..eforce in the Southwest district
vas resisted by an armed band, the conflict
resulting in the killing of several of the in
surgents, the capture Of others, arms, &c, and
the dispersion of the remainder Another
band, organized near Augusta, in the North
west distiict dispersed without a conflict at
the pursuasion of the citizens Of that town.
The result has been that The substantial,
law-abiding citizens of the several counties
placed under martial law, have held meet
ings and pledged themselves to support the
civil authorities, and to assist the civil Off
GERS when necessary in the performance of
their duties. Where these guarantees have
been given the civil authority has been re-
stored, and martial law now exists in but
one or two counties, and it will doubtless
soon cease to exist in the State.
The reports of the alleged outrsges by the
military, Gen, Ayers says, are great exag-
gerations. and many of them pure faJrica-
tions. He states that it would be impossi-
bic anywhere to call into existence force
as this has been, for temporary purposes,
and not have violations of orders and mill
tary law. There was no other way TO main
tain the militia, but to subsist it on the
country, collecting supplies by system of
contributions levied on the people, giving
receipts therefor, with view to future pay
ment and he has been assured that the com
mauders used their best endeavors that this
should be done in proper manner. J. E.

The Interest Law.

The bill passed blythe State Senate,
legalizing contracts for 10 per cent in
terest, has not yet passed the House,
although tits expected to do SO. Pend
ing the question the editor Of the State
Journal is urging some strong reasons
against it-not that he does not con-
slider it an improvement upon the old
law, but because it does not go far
enough, and leave the buyer and seller
to regulate the matter for themselves.
In arecent number of the STATE Journal
be petitions the Legislature as follows:
l. Because no money can be borrow
ed in Ohio to-day on the terms pre-
scribed by our laws. The State breaks
its own law by paying what is equiYa-
lent to eight per cent. if taxed, and the
Nation pays still more. -
2. Because no law can unalterabIy fix
the value Of usage on moneys value
constantly and rapidly fuctuating in
response to the urgency of demand or
the difficulty of supply. asa
8. Because necessity obliges men to
have money, and therefore to disregard
our interest laws, as impraeticable, con
trary to the elementary principles of
commercial science, and in violation Of
the laws of trade -impraetieabIe-be-
cause, instead of regulating, they in eff
feet prohibit the legal borrowing of
money ;-contrary to the principles of
commercial science-because they at
tempt to do by an inFariable rule of
statute law what can be done only by
the variable law of supply and demand
not even stopping at the folly of at
tempting to fix the value Of ussge by
statute, but committing the further alb
surdity of attempting to make this fuc-
tusting value permanent and unehange-
able;-in violation of the laws of trade
because they prevent business men
from obeying the unwritten law Of COM
mercial usage unless they disobey the
statute l&s7, and offer q premium for
rascality and the abandonment of com
mercisI intregity, by requiring Of men
that they shall break engagements they
have been forced to make in obedience
to the laws of supply and demand, or
in the only alternative, break the law
of their State.
4. Because the additional risk under
the forfeitures of the law adds large
per centum to the natural rate of inter-
est, and the. law requires honest men to
pay insurance for rogues. go
5. Because men too timid to take the
risk, or too serupulous to disobey the
law, and finding no legal means Of OBJ
tanning value for the use of their money
in this State, carry It to States govern
ed by more wise and just laws, and our
State loses the benefit Of large amounts
of capital v4d
6. Because all such statutes breed
sentiments of disrespect fatal to law and
order, and as these laws have never
been, are not now, and never can be
enforced, should be repealed. ~ ~
