INFLUENCE OF PARENTs.--lt is re-
lated of Lafitte, the famous French
banker, that he owed his rise to a very
trivial circumstance. He went, when
a poor boy, to beg situation from
rich merchant in Paris. His request
was refused. On leaving the hotel OF
the merchant, he Glanced to see pin
on the ground, and Notwithstanding
his grief, he stoops down, picks 1t up,
and carefully puts it in his coat. Next
day he received a letter from the mer-
chant, saying that situation had been
, made for him. The merchant had Oh
f served his care, and this struck him
: Immediately as, evidence of thought

BANKS AND COTTON FACTORS.
The fact that cotton ranged one cent
higher in New Orleans than in Memphis
was generally discussed, and the action
of the banks with reference to the new
rules was ventilated extensively.
The following resolution was then sub

its immediate passage.
The further consideration of the ques-

MnRMnN WAR.

The World, discussing affairs in Utah,
thinks there is every prospect OF re-
newaI of the Mormon war, the conduct
of which in former years formed SO comic
a CHAPTER of American history. A judge
of the United States Court in Utah has
been scrutinizing the claims OF Nor
mons to be jurors lin criminal cases. One
Mormon avowed that polygamy, entered
into under revelation, was not a crimi-
nal proceeding, and that he would be
free to maintain its propriety in jury
box. Thereupon the judge set him aside
as we'll as two partakers Of his senti'
ments, in favor of jurors who were pre-
pared to find man guilty if he had
broken the laws of the United States,
whatever higher law he adduced to
Justify himself. If this judicial atti-
tude be maintained hllthe MOrmons who
are living in fragrant violation of the law
will be indicted Nobody supposes that
the Mormon community will submit with
out a struggle to their punishment, and
the Government must be prepared either
to support the decisions Of courts and
verdicts of juries by arms orto see itseli
put in ridiculous and degrading pos
ture. The chances Of Mormondom in
such a contest are by no means what
they were under the Presidency Of Pierce
or of Buchanan. When Johnston's ex-
petition was sent out, Salt Lake City
WIS fortified by its isolation. 1t was al
most inaccessible, aud the invaders Of il
had the bulk Of their task to do in reach
ing it, and not in subduing it after it was
reached. The Pacific railway has
changed all that. 1t is impossible thai

rome at public expense seems to be a

says;

RocHRFORT.

An American paper thus comments,
and Justly we think, on Rochefort and
his fate: Rochefort the distinguished
political agitator, has been sentenced to
a foreign island imprisonmentfor life on
account of his connection with the
French Communists. tits not, perhaps,
surprising that he has met with this fate
He practced little political discretion,
and was extremely violent in the enun-
citation of his views, and Reinstatement
of them. in the vieissitudes Of political
fortune he must have contemplated hs a
very possible contingency the fate, or
even a worse one, than that which has
befallen him. With all his faults, and
disagreeing with him in many essential
particulars, we cannot but feel sorry
that SO able and in many respects so
great a man should be exiled from the
tbeater of his actions, where, under
proper circumstances, he could have
been so useful TO the mass Of his fellow.

A STRANGE RESOLVE.

A National Convention of colored peo-
ple is sitting in St. Louis and resolving
mon various subjects. Among them is
n resolve to petition Congress to remove
all political disabilities from the repent
ant rebels of the South. This, coming
from the source it does, is a little singu-
lar. and places the colored people in the
light logically, of demanding repent
ance of the men who were prominent
actors in the events that brought about
their liberation from bondage. Of what
are the prescribed men of the South
asked to repent2 Isit of acts OF seces-
sion and WARP Without these how could
the negroes have been liberated? There
was no power in the Government to per
form such an act, and without wal, which
the South is charged with having brought
on. these conventionists now struttlng IN
St Louis would be in the fields under
the control Of masters. 1t is charged by
thesepeople that Davis, Toombs ana otner
representative men rebelled against the
Government. They have reason to
know that that Government recognized
and protected slavery. Do they think
the overthrow of that feature OF the
Government crime in those who are
charged with taking the initial steps
We should like to see the question put
sduareIy to the convention; AS you
condemn the secessionists by making a
crime of secession, would you have
things as they were in lS6O-no seces-
sion, no war, and consequently no abol'
ition of slavery? We suppose that these
poor people are acting simply as the IN,
struments of designing white men, II
they comprehended the logic of events
the men of the South, whom they charge
with an oifense to be repented OF, would
be held by them in an estimation quite
different. Their resolutions, no doubt
are drawn by white men who manage
such elements, and whose existence de
pends on the success with which 1t Is
done.

IT is said that as Governor Davis, OF
Texas, has declined the request OF the
Democrats of Galveston to withdraw his
stringent election order, they have held
another meeting and resolved to make
the best of his unconstitutional and ar
bitrary exercise of authority, and to do
their utmost to increase the Democratic
vote, seeking by this means to over
throw the corruptionists, who are now
preying upon the yitals of the country,
and who, in the voracity Of their appe-
tites, neither regard the Federal nor
State Constitutions.

nanxerans Jurors.

The danger of permitting men to sit
as jurors in felony case when the said
jurors had formed or expressed an opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence Of the
prisoner, from reading the proceedings
of former trial or investigation, has
been fully illustrated in the trial of
Thomas Mcclellan, the murderer of
Myers, at Hamilton, Ohio, and in whose
defense the lamented Mr.. Vallandigham
lost his life. Some weeks since McGe-
han was found guilty of murder in the
second degree. A few days ago Judge
McKenny, of Dayton, Ohio, granted
Mcclellan a new trial, but refused an APP
plication to admit him to bail. The
principal ground of the application for
a new trial was because of misconduct
and fraud of certain of the jurors, to-
wit: OF John Bichweiler and Henry
Pfaff. Said John Bichweiler and Henry
Pfaff, each before being called as jurors
herein, expressed the opinion that said
defendant was guilty Of the murder of
Thomas S. Myers. The Judge said;
If Bichweiler could have satisfied the
Court that when he entered the jury box
his mind was entirely free from any in
huence or bias, by reason of his previ7
ously formed opinions, the Court would
be more reluctant abont setting aside
the verdict. But it is shown that as late
as June last, and within the past ninety
days, he freely expressed his opinion
when reading the proceedings of the
trial at Lebanon, that the defendant was
guilty.

A DEMOCRATIC paper says the strug-
gle between the Grant or Custom-house
wing of the Republican party and the
Greeley-Fenton wing is very bitter in
New York. In New York, Oneida, and
other counties, double sets Of delegates
have been appointed to the Republican
State Convention. United States Sena-
tor Conkling, of the Grant wing, was
beaten in Oneida county, but he then
organized a bolt and elected himself as
a contestant. There will be great ex-
citement, and perhaps a split in the
Convention, which meets on the 9th
inst. The anti.Grant Republicans are
not going to be ridden over rough-shod IN
the Empire State.
