THE TINE FOE AMNESTY.

The Lynchburg Virginidn gives the following
excellent reason for immediate action by Con-
gress on the subject of Universal Amnesty:
"The Southern States Just now recognizing the
various departments OF their government, under consu
buttons that have accepted by Congress- and which
provide efectua guarantees against any reversal or
the public Judgment pronounced In their acceptance Be
sides Congress has reserved to itself the right as
serted by MT Morton in the Senate, II the States
should prove fathless their obligations to deal with
them hereafter What more be necessary But,
we have said the States recognizing all Of
these departments and judicial officers TO be elected
for long term OF years. This being the fact and 1t
being necessary that the people should have the largest
possible field OF selection, important that Congress
should do whatever 1t may intend to do, speedily. 1t
should by general law, relieve all disabilities, so that
the best talents and the largest experience to be found
in the States may be made available to the people This
ia the opportune moment, and the healing measure
be applied with advantage 20 the Southern com
munes now any time in the future. Six months
even three months hence, it will come too late to
serve the ends that might be accomplished
the application OF such measure now"
We urge the champions of Universal Am
nesty in Congress to press for prompt action
on that most important subject We wish we
might celebrate, on the approaching birthday
of Washington, the perfected triumph of both
Impartial Suffrage and Universal Amnesty.
We fear this cannot be; but, surely, this
month should not close before the complete
Enfranchisement of the whole American People.

We mean to be very careful not to press too
urgently the trial of such assassns as Reynolds;
but there is something due, in such horrible
cases. to the public as well as the prisoner.
Hence we regret TO find the stale trick of the
indispositon of counsel accepted as sufficient
cause for postponement of his trial. Reynolds
was arraigned yesterday There is no more
doubt rs to his guilt than there is as to his
existence. 1t is patent-manifest as the noon
day sun his counsel knows he has no possible
defense-not even the dernier resort of in
sanity. Hence the counsel is i'll, and sends
doctors certificate to back up his application
for postponement. If he can get the case
put over to another term, the public
feeling, which by that time may be shocked
by new and more enormous crimes. will mate
rally abate and there may be chance of get
ting modified verdict. This will not do.
The laws delay is too often the death of just
ice. A jury ready for duty, judges in place,
witnesses got together at much trouble and
expense, should not lose their time and pa
thence because u lawyer has headache. Let

engaged in another cause, or he is sick, or
gone fishing, or lobbying at Albany, or

Reynolds case is already put over until Mon
day. If his counsel is not ready then, We hope
that the presiding Judge will assign other
counsel and go on with the trial. The people
are in earnest in the general demand for JUS

Children's parties are among the perculiar-
tiles OF our present social life. Doubtless chill
dren have always more or less had their par
ties, but the scale and style of them at the
present day are something quite peculiar
The little guests are summoned two or three
weeks beforehand, probably by gilte-dge cir
culars, and in terms formal and complimentary.
They assemble in the evening and stay we'll
on towards midnight. We shall leave to
others the consideration of the moral c0nse
quence to the juvenile mind of this early ac-
quaintance with all the forms of fashionable
society and shall cOnfne ourselves to con-
sideratiOn of the physical consequence which
we take to be injurious and undesirable.
Children are excited beforehand, and still
more, at the time. They are dressed INSULT
GENTLY they dance themselves into great ia
tigue; they eat and drink at late evening
hours what would try their digestion badly
enough in its midday vigor and, worst of all,
they lose from two to SIX hours sleep. The
Interior consequences of this entire disarrange-
ment of their habits and functions are pale
ness, languOr, and the development of various
other ailments, according to the constitution
al IRREGULARITIES of the children. BY all means
let the children have their own gatherings,
but let them be within reasonable hours. Let
food be simple, dress sufficient and warm, and
above all let not the precious hours of sleep
be curtailed, just when, by reason of excite
ment and exhaustion, they need to be extern
ded. We have heard of simpler nations than
ours, which have their children's gatherings
in the early afternoon at which the repast is
plain, and which break up when ours are be.
ginning. English parents should initiate this
simplicity. What pleasure are children to get
out of society when they become young men
and women, if they are to be satiated and ex-
hausted with formal and late evening parties
when they have barely got into their teensl-

and trees, some of them emitting most deli
cious and invigorating odor, when We suddenly
came upon a large and we'll cultivated planta-
ton, in the center of which were several build.
ings. Entering these we found them to be the
"press houses" stills, &C., where the sugar cane
is crushed for the manufacture Of st. Croix Rum
Over 100 Coolies were at work, and the smell
from the fermenting watts was very celebrating
aud pleasant We were shown through the en-
tire establishment, and learned that all the
Rum here produced was shipped to Messrs. P
H. Drake g. Co., New York, to be made into
their celebrated PLANTATION BITTERs. The
peculiar good effects of this Run-which is the
purest and best III the world-are we'll known.

Bound ToQether.

In d discourse entitled The Misery of
the Masses, and how to reach it" Rev. w.
\. Taylor says:
"You remember the touching story Of
the daughter of Sir Robert Peel Her faith
er gave her as birth day present, a gor-
geous riding habit, and went out with her
on the same day for an airing in the park,
his heart swelling with parental pride as
he rode by her side. Shortly afterwards
she sickened and died of typhus fever of
the most malignant type; and when inqui-
ry was made as to how she had caught the
infection, it was discovered that the habit,
bought from one of the London Westend
tradesmen, had been made in a miserable
attic, where the husband of the seamstress
was lying i'll of fever, and that it had been
used by her to cover him in his shivering
fits. Thus, whether We will believe it or
not, the safety of the highest is bound up
with the condition of the lowest; and if
we neglect their material, moral, and spir-
itual interests, there will come a dreadful
Nemesis to mark the divine displeasure in
our conduct, and we may perceive our
guilt all too late, when the vast temple of
our liberties is shapeless mass of wreck
! and rubbish"

=" A Way of Escape

The Chronicles of Froissart" relate the
strange issue of a siege, which took place
in the days of chivalry-and somewhere, l
think, in France. Though CALAMITY de-
Tended, the outworks of the citadel had
been carried. The breach was practicable;
tomorrow was fixed for the assault. That
none, alarmed at the desperate state Of
their fortunes, might escape under the
cloud of night, the besiegers guarded every
sally port, and, indeed, the whole sweep o.
wall. They had the garrison in a net, and
only waited for the morrow to secure or to
slaughter them. The night wore heavily
on; no sOrtie was attempted; no sound
came from the beleaguered citadel; it
brave but ill-starved defenders seemed to
wait their doom in silence. The morning
came; with its dawn the stormers ru,h ed
at the breach; sword in hand, they poured
in to fnd-the nest empty, cold. The biz d
flown; the prey escaped. But how? That
was a mystery; it seemed miracle, till n
opening was discovered. that led by light
of steps down into the bowels of the rock
They descended and explored their way
with cautious steps and lighted torches
until this subterranean passage led them

quiet, green fields, and the light of day. II
was plain that by this passage, the door.
