The Western Methodist, referring to
the Graves-POstOn case and to the preVa-
leuce Of crime, aays: 1.-THE State is guilty.
We have good laws; but what language
can express the corruption Of Legislators
and magistrstesl Crime has long been
UNPUBLISHED, to the shame of the bench, 4
the bar, and the iury-bOx; and in the
courtroom the inspiration Of whisky has
been felt as a power beyond cOntrol-the
portals of the templeO of justice being
hsnked, right M left, by drinking So
looms. Violence has ruled the land, and
merely among the debased and be-
sOtted, but in the higher classes. Men
arrogating to themselves the standing of
gentlemen and appealing to the code Of
honor upon the slightest aftrOnt, with
in their hearts and blood upon
their hands, have been unpublished by
Judge and Jury, and approved by popular
opinion. Upon the public streets and
highways, and in the newspapers,
the murderer has found RpOlOgists
even advocates. And we must add
in the degree in which moral disci-
pline is not enforced against offenders in
the church and in the family, and sin is
INDUCED, these divine institutions for the
training of mankind are also guilty be-
fore God. And If, in the church snd in
the family, evil in its incipiency were, as
It should be, extirpated by the appliances
Of Christianity, and moral and religious
qualities cultivated with the fidelity de-
by the importance of the work,
different would be the state of sOci-
sty! How great a power would be thus
lXerted for the repression Of crime! Be-
'ause it has been ever quite otherwise,

lalf Of this number came there to inform

must be had, and not to consult in what
way the German Inhabitants Of Memphis
