CAUSES OF CRIME.

An interesting pamphlet has been issued
in New York for the purpose of present
ing certain views on the responsibility of
society for the causes of crime. Incl
dental 10 this record are some facts con-
corning the causes themselves. Of seven
teen thousand criminals in the penitenti-
aries of the different States in 1868,
ninety seven per cent had never learned
trade; twenty eight per cent could not
read; and twenty-five per cent were
under age. Of those confined in the
common jails of New York State in 1864,
again, seVenty-two per cont had not
learned trade, forty-nine per cent were
left orphans before they were fifteen years
of age; thirty-twO per cent could not
read; and fifty per cent admitted that
they had frequented gtogshOps and worse
places, aud used liquor and tobacco. Of
two thousand one hundred and twenty
criminals who had been under the care
of Mr.. Byers, Chaplain in the Ohio
Penitentiary, seventy-four per cent had
never learned trade; sixty-fOur per cent
could barely read, and fourteen per cent
did not know their letters. In Upper
Canada, the report of the Provincial
Penitentiary mentions Drunkenness as
one of the two chief causes of crime. OF
forty-seven Thousand three hundred
and thirteen persons confined in the
New York city prisons, in 1867, thirty
one thousand two hundred and ninety
eight confessed that they were 'lntem-
perate." In the course of some remarks
upon the facts presented, the New York
EUeniy1g POSI-, asks ''What classes
contribute most to fill up our peniten-
tiaries The answer of these statistics
is: those who have the habit of using inN
toxicating liquors, and those who have
not been taught trade. Even the Hitter
ate class are, as a class, less criminal,
than the class of drinkers, or the class of
persons forced to live on their wits, as il
is called, because their parents have not
Taught them some useful trade. Now
| here are two causes of crime, the most
fruitful. as it seems, which parents have
almost entirely within their control.
Teach your child a trade, and you lessen
its chances of becoming a criminal enor-
mously, as these figures show. Restrain
your child from the use of intoxicating
liquor, and again you increase very great,
" its chances of living virtuous and
useful life"

THE REVENUE LAW.

The new revenue bill has finally passed
both houses of the Legislature, and only
awaits the approval of the Governor TO
become law. 1t fixes the tax for Stale
purposes at sixty. cents on the hundred
dollars of taxable property, and provides
for license tax to be paid by merchants
equal to their al valorem tax that every
travelling or local agent of any insurance
company located in or out of the State,
shall pay an annualprivilegetax of twenty
five dollars TO the State and ten dollars
to each county in which they do business;
that railroad companies shall pay q tax of
six mills on the dollar on their net earn
ings; and that commercial drummers rep
resenting parties out of the State shall
pay q tax of fifty dollars a year to the
State, and five dollars to each county in
which they operate. The law is TO take
effect Immediately.
With a reasonably just assessment this
law will raise revenue sufficient to pay of
the outstanding warrant, the current ex-
penses of the government and take up
the notes of the Bank of Tennessee. Al
any rate il isas high as the people can well
pay at this time. We may now expect
an early adjournment.

ANOTHER DENIAL.

The Savannah papers publish the fol-
dispatch:
ssWAsHINGToN, Jan. 1.-THE agent OF
the Associated Press is authorized snd re-
quested by Col. Robb, Collector of Gus
toms in Savannah, to state, in connection
with certain publications copied from
Washington dispatch to Northern paper,
that he has not had an interview with the
President, has not visited the Executive
Mansion in company with Col. Krzyza-
nowski, and has made no allusion to any
one about outrages in Savannah. The
election, Col. Robb reports, was almost
monotonously quiet and peaceful. "
1t is remarkable that this denial BY
Collector Robb, as well as that by Krzy-
zanowski,, was not made until it was dis
covered that the letter of Gov. Bullock TO
ga prominent Democrat" placed these
Radical worthless in the position of mis-
representative the facts. They both in
sist now that they were misrepresented by
the correspondent of the New York
Herald, but they did not set themselves
right until the letter of Gov. Bullock
made it absolutely necessary. Their tar
diness leaves ground for the suspicion
that they were at least willing that the
people of Georgia should be misrepre-
sented. @

GERMANY is apprehensive of famine
and the very horrors which are now set
ting down upon France. A Berlin cor
respondent of the Boston Advertiser, in
8 long letter reviewing the effects of the
war, ascribes the apprehended scarcity of
food to the difficulties of transportation.
Hungary is the source from whence sup.
plies of breadstuffs, life cattle, and other
indispensable articles of food have to be
drawn. The last harvest in Germany hav-
nag been failure, this year it has been all
the more importantto draw upon the mex
haustible fields of the Lower Danube. To
fiji the demands of the government for
the transportation of troops and supplies
to the bases of operations in France, has
taken nearly the entire rolling stock of
the railroads engaged in carrying the
breadstuffs of the Lower Danube to Ger
many, and the traffic has almost entirely
ceased. Unless the Prussisn military
authorities shortly relax their demands
upon the rolling stock of railroad compa-
MES, trying times are in store for Ger
many

A PROTEST against the bombardment of
Paris has been issued by the French Gov
eminent. The allegation is that the firing
is proceeding wantonly upon hospitals,
ambulances and churches, and is killing
many innocent women and children. "
The protest rccites the fact that "all the
authorities on war and military usage re-
quire that warning to remove non com
batants shall precede the opening OF such
attack upon a city," and continues: 1.-THE
bombardment is not preliminary to mill
tary action, but is an act solely calculated
to devastate the city, and strike terror to
the citizens by murder and incendiarism. "

THE Philadelphia Press says the people
of France seem to be inspired with an
almost superhuman hopefulness and cour-
age. The Smelling of Paris continues, but
its inhabitants are not yet ready to capt.
ulste. The Army of the Loire, defeated,
broken, and driven in confusion from its
line of battle, is preparing to renew the
struggle; Faidherbe, in the North, is

full, of course, has been made on General

ONE of our exchanges says: "Recon,
struction in the South would have been
completed long ago had the people there
only embraced the Radical faith. The
Union has been broken up for six years in
order to force the people of certain States
to change their political views" The
Radicals should have learned by this time
that the people of the South will not en-
brace their political faith. Radicalism is
more unpopular to-day in the South than
it ever has been, viii continue to grow
more so every day. If the Radicals had
let the South alone, the people would
have been quiet and prosperous.

DEATH OF EDWARD C. DELEvAN,

The Albany argus reports the death of
Edward G. Delevan, the great apostle of
temperance in this country. Mr.. Delevan
died at his residence in Schenectady, n.
Y, on the 18th inst. Nearly forty years
ago he became impressed with a deep
cenviction of the evils of intemperance,
and set about the organization of a crusade
against the use Of intoxicating drink in
any form. He became practical philan-
throphist. He fought the enemy he had
sought out, in every form and shape
and in every retreat. Not content with
the closing of rumshOps and the
overthrow of bsrs, he Illuminated
against social drinking. He organized
missions, societies, journals in the cause
of temperance. He went abroad and
sought to enlist Louis Philippe, then on
the French throne, and the POntiff al
Rome, and all the SoVereigns and cele-
brities that would give him audience in
his crusade. When his agitation had
sufficiently ripened public opinion, he or,
ganized political party on the basis OF
the absolute prohibition, under criminal
penalties, of the sale ofintOxicating drinks.
In passing from the domain of opinion tC
that of force, however, he made tata
mistake; and not only thecause of tempe
rance suffered by the reaction, but he lost
his leadership of the reform. II passed
into the hands of demagogues; was used
by them for a while, was betrayed, and
has ceased to command respect. But the
impression made upon society by the fact:
in regard to the evils of strong drink, still
remains, and the world cannot he unmind
full of the obligation.
