TWO LEADING EVILS,

Jeremiah Taylor, when about to pay the
last penalty in Missouri. last week, for
having wickedly killed a fellowbeing, de-
clared that whisky and pistols had been
his ruin" This is the story Of more men
than Jeremiah Taylor, only it is not told as
he confessed it, under the terrible shadow
of the gailows. There is scarcelya murder
committed in the country but that these
twin agents of crime are responsible.
Men who drink to excess use language
which they would never have used when
sober, and being replied to. follow up the
ungr,arded expression by ready use Of
the weapon which is worn upon the per-
son. IF the drink had been out, the
words would have been unsaid; if the pis-
tol had been away the fearful act would
not have been committed. The mere
possession of deadly weapon is an in
ducement to its use. The testimony
of thousands is to this very
effect, that having pistol con-
cealed Oh them, produces a feeling
of rcchlessneaa which seems to lead
toward the use Of the dreadful in
strument of death. Words that have
no particular significance are resented !y
the man that's armed for fight land if he
is at all under the influence Of liquor, the
occasion will be sought, rather than
avoided, by the party dressed in pistols.
Many sensible people freely confess that
they dare not carry weapons because Of
the temptation to use them; and every
day the admission is made by men OF
strong minds that they leave whisky
altogether because its use is dangerous.
If such sentiments as these could reach
and move the jeremiah Taylors before
they end their career by murder or

ONE CAPITAL QUESTION SETTLED.

Rome has been elected as the capital of
the Italian kingdom, and Victor Emanuel
will soon take up his residence in the
| palace of the Caesars. The Pope still
resists, but what can this opposition
amount to in the face of what has been
recognized as inevitable for years? Only
that the power Of the pontiff was sus-
tanned from without it would have been
driven from Italy long ago as incompe-
tent, and intrrsted to the Italian people.
Its rule has been The most uncharitable
and incapable in Europe, the States of the
Pontifcal See being infested with bri-
gands, and tie streets of Rome overflow
ing with vice and ignorance. There was
no liberation of civil thought or religious
liberty under the rule of the Vatican.
Rome made no progress in government
or in material improvement. She was in
the shade of an. authority that choked
down all healthy advancement.
The success of Victor Emanuel in re-
covering to Italy her ancient capital has
already been celebrated by the commence
ment of a new era in Rome. A free press
has been established; the citizens have
been intr,,sted with their own municipal
government; the work Of draining the
Pontine marshes has been commenced;
religion has been separated from the
State, and the troops have already been
set in motion to clear the country of
the brigands. 1t is true the King has set
the Pope up as sort OF counter authority
to himself in the little domain of st. An
CELLO, but this will not last long. The
Church has had too great fall not to
make an effort to recover her temporal
power, and this will necessitate restric-
ton of the present grace which is ex-
tended to the pontif. The next move
ment that will be made against the Church
will compel the Pope either to fly from
Rome or to accept of the supremacy of the
Italian King. Whatever hope Cardinal
Antonelli~ may have had of the
papal restoration has been destroyed
by the election of Rome as the capital of
the new and powerful Kingdom Of Italy.
When the archives of the State and all
the royal ministers, with their throng of
attendants. have located on the Tiber, it
will take something stronger than protests
to move them away. And looking over
the forces that Low control the destinies
of Europe, we can count on no power that
is deeply enough interested in Plus TX to
plunge into a war to reinstate him in his
temporal possessions over the Roman
people. France has lost her capacity,
Austria has parted with her willingness,
Prussia is too strongly Protestant to make

ON CARONDELET STREET.

There has been o considerable squeeze
for gold during the last few days, and, in
consequence, the price has advanced
above the ruling rate in New York. A
good deal of gold has been sent into the
country and to Texas, and there is pros
pectiye demand for large amount to pay
duties. By an act of the last session OF
Congress the duty on coffee was reduced,
to take effect after the first Of january
next, and, in consequence, large quaint
ties have been left in bond, to be removed
as soon as the lower rate goes into effect.
This will be in few days, after which it
is presumed that the scarcity OF gold
will ahate. At the Board. last night, one
hundred and eleven was bid for it, but no
one seemed willing to sell at that figure.
In spite of the improvement il the
money market, stocks have not yet shown
any signs of reaction. On the contrary,
the whole list has become sensibly weaker
during the last few days. This is, per-
haps, owing to the influence of the holi-
days. There is always sort OF interreJ-
nam in business at this season, lull in
commercial and financial transactions,
during which pleasure is more sought than
profit. The revival which is anticipated,
with the opening Of the new year, ought
to restore something like animation to the
street. AS yet, the approach Of the legis-
latiye session has had no effect on stocks
or securities of any kind, with the excep-
ton of those which, it is feared, may be
subjected to some kind of assault.
Since writing the above, we learn from
Mr.. Clinton, the Assistant Treasurer,
that he has resolved to sell 500, 600 gold
today. He has been persuaded to take
this action by the representations of sew
eral Of the leading banks and bankers of
this city, who have assured him that
there is very great pressure for gold in
this market, and that timely sale Of gov
eminent gold would go far toward reliev-
ing the distress.

WA heard. the hands were swiftly with

seating themselves in different parts Of the
car. By this time the driver had turned
around in slow way, after the fashion OF
car-lrivers. to see what he could see III the
cash box and. 10, there were three nickeis
and car ticket to represent the seven iares.
Driver made motion rs if to stop the ear,
and turning toward the boys pair OF eyes.

frightened by Indignation. he exclaimed:
"You didn't pay, and You'll have to git"
This was addressed to the boys IN so'ido; but
the BOYS in sog;do maintained unanimous 81
leucc. The driver found it necessary TO in
dividualize.
Speaking to the boy nearest, who hap
pened to be the softcst-!ooking one
in the crowd he told him be must pay or
leave the car. Boy said he had paid, and
would not pay again, neither would he quit
the car. Driver rejoined that all the seven
had not paid. Boy said that might be, but
he had paid. and that was all he cared for
and lie would like to see the driver put
him out. sfter nc had paid his fare. By
strange unaccountable coincidence. all the
other boys were in the same case. Each
fellow had paid has fare, and he was not to
bc put out by any driver.
The puzzled driver turned disconso!ately
around toward the front. and for several
squares was i'll reverie SO deep that he ap-
peared to be counting the hairs in the mules

tional nickels rewarded his gaze. The ''do"
was perfect. and the boys sat with faces Of
injured innocence, having saved their pock-
cts at The expense Of their honesty.

d. o. Boyd, of the firm of Boyd Brothers
& Hobson, Of New York, representing
numerous Western distillers, has had an
interview with the Secretary Of the Treas
,ry, the acting Commissioner Of Internal
Revenue, and others. His object was to
procure the passage of law allowing the
transportation Of spirits in bond from the
West to the seaboard. The Secretary said
there would be no unnecessary obstacles
placed in the way OF the expectation of
the surplus products, but the department
would not sanction any bill, unless properly
guarded to prevent frauds. This subject
viii be brought before the Committee on
WAYS and Means after the holidays.
