Geo. w. Curtis on Murder for
Outraged Honor"
From Harper's weekly,

hHs w From Hsrper's Weekly,
Ii we justify husband in killing man
whom he accuses Of stealing his wife's affec-
tons, we must justify the wife in killing any
woman whom she may accuse of being his
paramount or diverting his preference. Thus
the most precious lives might be sacrificed
to within ofjealousy. or to groundless sus-
picion. This justification of assaults, by what
are called injured husbands, serves, however,
to show how. ingrained is the feeling that q
mans wife is in some way his property. If q
the guiltless confident of his wife, the public
shrugs its shoulders, and remarks that the
victim ought to have counted the cost. But
if the wife should shoot O poor womaA of the
town because ofher husbands offepse, or any
innocent woman whose society her husband
sought, there would be immense consterna-
ton. And yet, is not the marriage VOW
equally binding upon husband and wife ? If
the husband may punish what he calls of.
lenses against his honor, may not the wife
avenge outrages upon her?
There is but one remedy, and that is to in
sist, by the conviction of plainly proved Of
tenders, that offences shall not be privately
punished. If man attacks you upon the
highway or breaks into your house, you will
justifably defend yourselfby every practica-
BILE means. But to justify deliberate at
tempt at murder, by 8 mans allegation that
his honor has been assailed and his domestic
peace has been disturbed, is to relax the very
foundations Of civilized society. If wife g
affections are aliensted, there is at least room
for suspicion that the husbands conduct has
not been such as to retain @them. Certainly
the common welfare demands that there be
some better reason than 9 outraged honor -
offered in eXtenuatiOn of murder.

Peabody INDICATED.

New YORK, Dec. co.
Thurlow Weed publishes a letter in the
Commercial day in vindication of the course
of the late George Peabody during the rebel
lion. He therein gives an account of an in
terview he had with Peabody the first
year of the war. Peabody said he had
been led to regard the extreme men of both
sections as enemies to the Union, but he add
ed that his devotion to our Government and
the Union was so strong that painful as was
the thought of war with our brethren, if lie
were at home he should stand by the Govern
ment, end what he could do then and there for
the Union cause he would do cheerfully. The
letter further says: 6 In the attempts that
were made by Confederate sympathizers in
Parliament to induce recognition of the rebel
government and to destroy our blocade, Mr.
Peabody manifested his devotion to the North
by Jealous efforts in our favor He authorizd
me, as have no doubt he did my colleague,
Bishop McElvaine, to call on him whenever
l thought he could be of service to our cause.
There were many English capitalists who ap-
piled to Peabody for Information relating to
confederate loans. He pronounced then
worthless, and hazard nothing III saying that
he never, directly or Indirectly, gave aid or
comfort, encouragement or couI tenance to
rebel representatives, orto individual rebels.'

r From the State Journal.
The Legislative Committees Visit
to- the Institutions.

The Governor and the Legislative Com
mittee have finished their tonr of inspec-
ton ofthe State institutions, and most of
them left their homes to-day Their re-
port will be presented to the Legislature
when it meets in January. IL o.
The Committee made more thorough
examination Of the condition and man
agement of the different State institutions
than has any of its predecessors, examin-
ing vouchers and inquiring particularly
into the workings of all. In conversation
with one of the members, he informed us
that all the institutions were found in
good condition. There were, of course,
some things to criticise, and some reforms
will be suggested, and the committee will
net probably recommend all the appro-
priations asked.
The committee spent two days and
three nights at the Hospital for the Insane
here, and speak in high terms of its con-
dition and of Superintendent McDill, as
also of the Soldiers Orphans Home and
Superintendent TOWERS.

Letus not fret ourselves by extravagant
desires. There is natural law of reac-
ton which sets limit to human happiness
and human pain. The merchant who has
his shop full of sweetmeats can only enjoy
very little quantity of them. The hard
earth is often sweeter bed to the soldier
than down to the sluggard. A stale crust
is better to hqngy man than a game
supper to him who is full l never enjoy

Gus often appreciates rich mans garden
more than the Galaxy.

THE OBVIOUS BENEFIT OF DEATH,-To those
interested in the theories of population and
and other causes in keeping down the multi
plication, Sir John Herschel suggests the fol-
lowing question: If we suppose that death
had not been introduced into the earthly
scheme, and commencing with each genera
ton of thirty years, what would haN been
the result at the end of hundred years ? To
this question he answers that if the whole
surface of the earth were spread out into q
plain, and each person allowed a square foot
of surface, and space four feet high, the
number of human strata thus piled one on
another would amount to 400, 100000, 600
thatis, the column of humanity would grow
to height 1914 times greater than the dis
lance of the sun to the earth.
