ROTH SIDES.

A correspondent, who is evidently wise IN
his own conceit, asks us this question:
"Suppose a man who had committed mur-
"der been convicted, and sentenced to State
Prison for life, should commit another Inur-
"der, what would you have done with him 7"
Solomon suggests two diverse modes OF an
swering such question:: we will try both-as
as follows:
1. We should feel constrained to doom him
thenceforth to solitary confinement and de-
prive him of all weapons or implements where
with he might infict bodily harm on another
person.
2. Suppose man who had committed muir
der, been tried for il, convicted, and sentenced
to death, should thereupon commit another
murder, what would you do with Cor to) him

The Secretary of War does not wish either
the army or the appropriation for its main
tenance reduced, for the reason that eve are
soon to have great Indian war, and it will
"require pretty large force to speedily sup
"press Indian hostilities and make short work
"of the savages.' Here is a pleasing pros
pect held out to an economical
Congress! It will cost not less than
S1,OOO,OOO day for the ensuing Summer if we
bring about an Indian war by persisting in Our
refusal to keep our treaty stipulations with
the Sioux, Cheyennes, Arrapahoes, and other
Kansas and Colorado tribes. We can save many
millions of money by paying the promised an
nuites to these people, besides preserving the
national honor. VIII Congress do It'll

We have no difficulty in conceiying that
Gen. Cabral might have killed numbers of bis
Haytian prisoners and taken 5000 for the life
of Salnave. The Xery curious mixture Of
moral characteristics among the revolutionists
of tropical society are not inviting to partisan
view. How many men Mr. Baez has put to
death, and how many have Gems Cabral and
Saget, are very interesting questions, but not
altogether TO the point. Mr. Baez's Annexation
is put in jeopardy, he declares by the delay Of
our Senate, and there is danger, we are told,
of reaction by Cabrai, who he's
even won a battle, according to late
report, over his ancient rival. Now, what
have we to expect from the man who sold
Salnave2 VIII he sell his country and how
and to whOml The effort Of President Baez
to secure annexation or protectorate has GER
tainly an aspect of earnestness, and if the DO.
minicans are wise they will approve it. The
anti-Annexation movement of Cabral has, We
more than suspect, its base of supplies in
Hayti and is promoted by many who specu-
late in revolutions, and many who bate Baez,
naturally or unnaturally. What form shall our
answer to the Dominican appeal take Shall
we annex or protect That is the question:
and it denSnds speedy answer.

There could well be no wiser expenditure of
the public lands, as we have before argued,
than to give away a portion of our unculti-
waited acres in exchange for industrious settlers
unless it be, perhaps, the use which Senator
Wiley suggested yesterday on submitting his
resolution on national education. He is for
devoting the proceeds of the sale of the public
lands to educational purposes, and cites, as an
argument in favor of his proposition, the fact
that half a million of American voters do not
know how to read. This is an alarming fact,
particularly true of the Southern States, and
painfully so of its mountainous districts, a part
of which Mr.. Wiley represents. The neces-
sity of educating the four millions of blacks
and the seven millions Of poor whites
of the South is one we have repeatedly urged
on public attention. Mr. Wiley thinks this
disposition of the public lands preferable to
giving them away in encouragement of i'm
provements and immigration. There was no
particular necessity for contrasting the two
methods, and is none now for disputing Mr.
Willey's preference Uncle Sam has lands
enough to spare in encouraging the education
of its own people and the emigration of those
of other nations.

Mr.. William Milton addresses from Castle
Garden to the People Of New-YOrk remark
able circular announcing that he has been
intimately acquainted for nineteen years with
persons who practice the infictons of Animal
Magnetism" He also knows show that Mr..
"Allen, the lawyer from Boston, was made to
"carry on them strange freaks" and many
other things to the same effect, and he Offers
if he can have the use of the Cooper Institute
to "read chapter from an unpublished book
(which will occupy one hour and a half, that
"win explain not only the cases named but
"several more" "Though may not amuse,'
he adds, 81 will certainly instruct you" Mr.
Milton's modesty is commendable, though per-
haps he has not judged just right Of the
probable effect of a reading from his unDub-
lished book. IL he really can explain "them
"strange freaks named and several more by
all means let him have the opportunity.

Both in Boston and Philadelphia the reports
of the Societies for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals indicate q steady activity and use
fulness The Philadelphia Associates, especially,
boast that regular dog-fghts are now almost
unheard of within the city limits; and that
cock fighting, though still frequent, is carried
"on under conditions of secrecy which must
"render it Improbable, and SO insure its
"speedy suppression" 1t is not creditable
either to the heart or the head Of this gen.
Grafton that the efforts of societies Like
these should incur certain degree of
ridicule. Every animal, in its natural con-
ditiOn, is capable. of degree of self
defense against its assailants, either by craft,
flight, OF fighting. We have, in subjecting the
domestic animals, taken from them this power
of self-protection; and while they minister to
innumerable human wants, they are entirely
at our mercy even for that supply of food
which is necessary to their existence. Of
course, the variety of human nature is such,
that q considerable portion Of those animals
must fall into the hands of the pitiless
and brutal, and must accordingly suffer-
The result of this can only be to in
tensify the bad passions of those who are
already dangerous to society. The cruel
driver who fells his horse by blow
upon the head is just as likely, should
he be provoked, to lay PROSTATE his own
wife. The element Of pity has disappeared
from his nature; he has become callous to
every form of physical suffering in another
being; and he is just as likely to beat his
children as TO belabor tho patient animal
,phiab bnlna him, 10 lie 1nii CncfcfiaS

"Exponentialr is the latest neologism which
we have met with in the newspapers, and We
must say that anything more fIightfully bar
barous has never come under our notice. The
exponential men," according to The Phad'
de!phia Press, are Colfax, Boutwell,, Whittier
and Col. Forney. The Colonel may call him
self what he pleases, but though Messrs. Col
fax and Boutwell, may be too busy to feel the
indignity, we can imagine an excusable wra'n
in the Quaker poets bosom. 1t is of no USE
we suppose, to tell this coiner of new worus
that he has violated every rule of philoloslca'
analogy; and if, when next be writes no
pleases to say "depOnential,' there is no ID"
against this form of self-indulgence.

One Of the witnesses in the trial Of PlOeget
for murder, in st. Louis, concluded his tcsti-
mony with a nice distinction not unfamiliar to
legal gentlemen retained for the defense in
such cases. 81 will not" he said, speaking Of
the prisoner, "say that he was crd-N but it
seemed to me his mind Tds derdnged" To
be sure, it will be rather hard for plain people
to understand this delicate difference for
Webster defines "crazy" as "deranged,' and
"derangement" as delirium," and "deliriumh
as "derangement y so that all these terms
(outside of Court Houses) seem to be pretty
nearly convertible. The sum total appears to
be that man may be sane enough until be
commits a murder but that the very fact oil
his having killed somebody mysteriously
changes his whole previous career into th9t OF
a maniac,

SAUL ALSO.
The ST. Louis Democrat of the 31st ult has the
following truthful and cOgent statement:
a wIIEAT TOR EFFORT DOES NOT PAY.


"wHEAr FOR EXPORT DOES NOT PAY.
81" Is becoming clearer every day that American farm
ers cannot raise wheat for export in competition with
the grain growing areas OF Europe. Now that the
appliances in the way of farm implements and the same
facilities Of rail transportation as exist here are there
being rapidly introduced, the American farmer has
advantage his European competitor in this respect
while the transatlantic wheat grower has decided ad
vantage American producers in the fact that he
get hands at II to Is cents per day. while must pay s2
s2 80. In 1863, there short crop In Europe and
England paid $l for 4l2 bushels OF wheat
In 1862 Europe has average crop and England pays
us only s2363 for $40 bushels of wheat Here
treble the export for doubelthe money. supposng In
stead of an average crop, Europe had enjoyed very
large cropi The pl would have been still lower What
are we do then to make money! We answer that We
shall develop mines improve waterpowers, en-
courage South to produce cotton and rice to
greater extent, leaving the grainrasing to the North
Let the Northwest grow more tobacco, castor beans
hemp flax sorghum, beet sugar, live stock, wool &c
BY having less grain and more OF the articles named
this country will rapidly increase In wealth and pros
perity."
Remarks by The Tribune.-We believe the
Editor of The Democrat has gone to Europe,
which may account for the unwonted appear
ance of truth and common sense in his col
umns. At all events, they are there, and their
rarity cannot utterly destroy their usefulness. If
it will only print such an article as the above once
per month, it may pile column upon column of
Frce-Trade sophistries without doing much
harm

Gen. Jordan follows Gen. Quesada to the
North; but even this does not prove that the
Spaniards know how to conquer the Cubans,
or even to govern themselves. By letter from
Havana, and by telegram from Key West, we
understand that Count Valmaseda and the
Governor of Santiago will not obey the orders
of the Captain-G General. Gen. De Rodas has
only TO refuse the orders of Gen. Prim to
make the mutiny lively.

The plea made for Capt Eyre that he would
have stopped'hi vessel but for the weak I'M
ploring of Lady Temple, has, we hope, foun-
dation in truth. Any right testimony that Will
prove this man to be less q monster than the
most formidable circumstances have made him
appear will be welcome to humanity. But after
all that has been said in Capt. Eyre's behalf,
grievous blame must still be laid to his charge
sufficient to make his claim for the restitu-
ton of bis certificate appear indecent.

the example of those judcious landlords VINO

refused, hundreds of houses stood vacant 1or

special loss to the landlord, not easily made

HOW THEY ARE GETTING ALONG.

We forget into how many hostile factions the
Woman's Suffrage Association is just now divid-
ed, but we believe three OF four. At any rate
the sisterhood have split into so many parties
and developed such talent for falling out, that
any doubt the public may have felt about
their preeminent fitness for business must now
be dispelled. Let us see then how they are
getting along. In Massachusetts,, where their
prospects of success were supposed by them
selves to be brightest, q resolution for an
amendment to the Constitution, allowing women
to vote. has been rejected in tho Legislature
by large majority, and the people seem to be
glad Of it,. In Utah, where suffrage has already
been given to the sex, the sex despise it. In
Minnesota Womans Suffrage bill, which had
passed the Legislature, has been killed by the
Governors veto. In Illinois, where the ques-
ton was before the Constitutional Convention,
1,4O0 women Of Peoria petitioned not to be al
lowed to vote; so the XVIth Amendment is
dead in Illinois also. But these facts would
have little significance were it not evident that
Governors, Legislatures, and Conventions have
only reflected the sentiments of the women of
the country, and that the ladies, who indirectly
exert powerful influence in.politics, are pass
ing from indifference towards the suffrage to
positive opposition. Really, Miss Anthony is
getting along very well indeed.
This, however, is not all. Mrs. Henry B.
Stanton has been travelling in the West and
has lost $500 by the failure of certain railway
connections, whercupou she cries: Women

We knew it. The Yellowplush organ, about
three days after the fact, has found out that
Gen. Grant is opposed to the Income Tax, and
has changed front with an alacrity which does
credit to its discipline if not to its consistency

for the continuance of the tax. Now 1t clanors

The conspicuous feature at the close of the
session of our Legislature yesterday, was the
passage of the Broadway Arcade Railroad bill.
AS the vote in the Assembly was much above
two-thirds, it is to be presumed that it will
become law. This is the first Broadway scheme
that has ever been fairly launched. The corpo-

ought not to be disappointed in the results.

connect with the rail on the main
track aud pbout ifteen inches of the
f1ange of one of the locomotive wheels
was torn of, and the engine ran some
three hundred yards over the frozen
ground. The express car ran into a
freight train on the side track, badly
IN uring les engine and leaving hardly
a vestige Of itself, while the baggage
car was hurled down the embank-
ment. But for the breaking Of
the coupling, a terrible loss oi
