A d graceful Business.

From the New York Times, Jan. 24.l
A piece of petty trickery has just
been brought to our notice, which de-
serves exposure. Mr.. Geo. Long, the
classical English scholar and editor Of
several classics, translated into Eng
fish the Thoughts Of the Emperor
Marcus Aurelius." An American
publisher proceeded to pirate this
work, as there was no law to prevent
his doing, and took the extraordinary
liberty OF prefiXing a dedication to
Ralph Waldo Emerson. This, read
ers were naturally led to infer, was a
votive tribute from the translator, in
stead of a mere Interpolation Of the
piratical publisher. ThereupOn Mr..
Long prefXed to the second English
edition a note, from which this is an
extract:
81 have been informed that the
American publishers have dedicated
this translation to an American. l
have no objection to the book being
dedicated 10 an American, but in
doing this without my consent, the
publisher has transgressed the bounds
of decency. / have never dedicated a
book to any man, and if l dedicated
this, l should choose the man whose
name seemed to me the most worthy
to be Joined to that of the Roman sol
der and philosopher. = + = If 1
dedicated this little book to any man
l should dedicate If to him who led
the Confederate armies against the
powerful invader, and retir5d from an
UNEQUAL contest defeated, but not dis
hOnored; to the noble Virginian sol
der soldier whose talents and virtues
place him by the side of the best and
wisest man VINO sat on the throne Of
the Imperial Caesars"

visits of their husbands friends with
out nysuspicion, the custom of court
ship, the use of wine, the fondness for
dOgs-all seem to point to an indie
pendent origin Of religion and man
ners. The value set upon dogs was
illustrated by the fact that two men
slaves were given as the price of a
good hound. The Sooni ruler of Chit
raj not merely sold his subjects, but
his own mother, as a slave, and when
asked how he could sell her whose
breasts had sucked him, pointed to a
COW, and said that she gave him milk
constantly, yet he would sell her.
When a MoOlan, who was to be sold,
threatened him with vengeance for
selling a minister of the Word of God,
he replied that everybody sold the
Koran-why, therefore, should he not
sell the expounder of it? DIR. Litner
could discover no religion or rites
among this strange people, save that
once q year each deposited a stone on
a cairn situated on a high mountain.

Journalist Of acknowledged ability,
Judgment and taste. The Banner an

"At the early age Of nineteen he as
sumed editorial control of the Clarks-

der his management, soon became
known as one Of the sprightliest, a
well as ablest, in the State. While
full Of the graces Of genuine humor,
MS writings were also marked by a
peculiar force and vigor Of style all
his OWN. His connection with the
Chattanooga Rebel viii be pleasantly
remembered by those who were
South during the war, but it was as
editor Of the Louisville Courier, prior
TO its consolidation with the Journal,
that he was best known to the people
Of Kentucky and Of his native State.
He leaves a wife and five children to
whom, and his afflicted relatives, we

For some time it has been current
among press-men and journalists that
the relationship existing between Mr..
WATTERsoN and Mr.. PRENTICE was
not only ~unfriendly, but that both re-
garded the other with an unmasked
enmity which often found expression
in little animosities that made Mr..
PRENTICE's position upon the COu-
rier-Journal anything but comfortable.
This rumOr was so often repeated that
il obtained credit as well as currency,
much to the modification of Nh.
WATTERsoN, ~wh0really engagedupon
the Journal with Mr.. PRENTICE, not
only with the high respect which that
gentleman never failed to inspire, but
with a love for him prompted by a,

young assistant cordially, not to

duce him as "his hope and stand
by, who would do both his speaking
and his fighting" And again, on the
third OF November last, Mr.. PREM
TICE introduced Mr.. WATERsoN to
the proprietor of the New York
Ledger as "my very near friend and
companion" This we learn from a
card published by Mr.. WATERsoN,
who adds: Throughout my inter
"course with Mr.. PRENTICE, which was
constant up to the day he quilted the
ICourier-Journal Office, there was
"never IN unkind word, not so
I'much as a shadow Of a misunder-
Hstanding between US. This is known
s'to every one who has any knowl-
ssedge Of the domestic affairs under
ssthe root Of this establishment" We
are glad to be able to assist in arrest
ing the progress Of a libel upon Mr..
WATERsON, and to make plain TO a
world that heretofore has been misled,
the truth Is to his relationship to-
wards a gentleman who was regarded
by the members of the press of the
Southwest with high respect, and
whose memory is revered.

were in error in saying that the pro-

JOHNSON in a body. We We're led
into the error from some statements

AN exchange gives the following
anecdote, which shows too little rev.
erence for the "man and brother"
equal rights, and the XVIII Amend
ment in and about Columbus, Ohio:
The most astonishing instance Of
colOrphObia occurred at Columbus,
Ohio, a few days since. There was a
baptism in the church, which appears
TO have been supplied with a full
sized baptistery for immersion.
Among the candidates was a colored
a who was dipped first. Upon
this. two young ladies who were wait
ing for their turn, positively and with
m1eh scorn refused to be Immersed in
fhe same water. Their objection was
not 10 the man but his color, and
there Is no reason to believe that they
SVould have declined the waters if the
ns,other had been white. Undoubted-
~ oallantry should have led the ofici-
sfi50 clergyman to give the ladies the
drst chance, =

ceive will most undoubtedly have wholesome
effect in restraining others from following
their example. Desperate efforts were made,
as is usual in such cases, to delay the trial and
to procure the release of the prisoners; but
thanks to the firmness and determination
shown by the Judge and the District Attorney,
these were of no avail The trial was ordered
to proceed, and the prompt conviction of the
prisoners was the result. The Judge, appre-
ciating the necessity of making an example
of these men, refused to delay the
sentence, and he accordingly i'm
posed the heaviest penalties permitted
by the law, Elliott being sentenced to six
teen years in the Penitentiary and a fine of
$4,000, and Wilson to eleven years and ten
months imprisonment. Such criminals as
Elliott and Wilson are entitled to no con-
sideration whatever. The perpetration of
suoh outrages as those for which they were
convicted is at once their business and their
amusement, and Judge Paxson only did his
duty in imposing the severe sentences he did
He and the District Attorney, although they
did no more than their duty, are neverthe-
less entitled to the cordial thanks of the
community for their good work on Satur-
day, as the conviction and a, sentence
of Elliott and Wilson will strike terror to the
hearts of other ruffians and will give them an
idea of what they may expect if the hands of
the law are laid upon them. The only fear
we now have is, that through the imperfec-
tions of our pardon system Elliott and Wilson
will not be permitted to pay the full penalty
for their crimes and the possibility that they
may be released by the Executive should in
duce the Legislature to consider the subject
of taking the pardoning power from the
hands of the Governor and placing it where
it will be less liable to abuse than it is at
present t.

THE ELECTION TOMORROW

FoR ten years the Republican party has con-
trolled both branches of the State Legisla-
ture. The election in the First Senatorial
district tomorrow will determine whether
this asoendancy is to be continued. The
political future of the Commonwealth may
depend altogether on Lyndall's triumph.
The Democracy, who have so often been
baff1ed in their efforts to recapture Pennsyl-
vania, are making desperate efforts to insure
Dechert's success, in the confident belief that
from it may be forged a key to this great Re-
publican citadel. If Dechert is elected, we
can have no Metropolitan Police bill, no new
Apportionment bill can be passed unless it
meets the approval Of the Democratic Sena-
tors, and no important partisan legislation of
any kind can be perfected by the Republicans.
Under these circumstances it is vitality impor-
tant that Mr.. Lyndall should receive cordial
support. He is not only honest, capable, and
worthy in every way of the support of the
Republican voters of the district, but he is
really and truly, in the existing state of par
ties, and extremely important representative
of Republican principles

THE SUBSIDY BONDS.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AKERMAN has recently
written an important opinion on the ques-
tions at issue between the United States and
the Union Pacific Railroad Company. The
contest hinges on the true Interpretation of
acts of Congress, and there is enough room
for doubt to make what Sir Lucius o OTrigger
would call a every pretty quarrel as it
stands" 1t ia but fair to tho rou
road company to say that they are
not endeavoring to evade an unms-
taxable obligation, and that they
only avoid making a payment to the National
Treasury on grounds which, although
they are probably not tenable, possess GER
tain degree of plausibility. The Government
is now paying interest on the. bonds it issued
to aid in the construction of the railroad,
receiving no return therefor, except the right
to reserve half of the sums earned from it for
transportation. The company contends that
beyond this payment it should give the Gov
ernment nothing until the expiration of
thirty years, at which time, ac-
cording to its theory, the whole
amount of Government advances principal and
interest, less the gross amount of payments
in transportation, will fall due. Against this
claim the Attorney General advocates and
ably supports the theory that the company is
bound to pay the interest of the bonds as it
falls due, and also to allow the Government
to reserve half of the annual sums accruiug
for transportation, as part payment of the
principal.
Practically, if the Attorney General theory
prevails, the people will have fair chance of
getting back their money from the railroad
company while, if the company's programme
is adhered to, the combined principal
and interest of the debt due thirty years
hence will constitute larger sum than the
probable value of the road. To save the ma
ton from the loss which would thus accrue
the Attorney General not only asserts that the
interest on the bonds should be paid by the
railroad company as it accrues, but that, if
this is not done, the Government may retain
all the moneys earned by the company for
Government transportation, instead of half
the earnings. His conclusions are summed
up in the last paragraph of the opinion as
follows
"My conclusion then, Is that the Government
may lawfully claim from the company the amount
of the interest in question such Interest Is paid
by the Government. To the particular question in
ernment may retain the entire amount OF compensa-
t0n for services rendered TO IL by tue company ap-
plying the same TO the interest paid by the United
States unless such interest shall have been repaid
compensation for such services may be reserved and
applied 10 the principal or the bonds"
