HONOR WASHED IN BLOOD.

We wish there could be new
departure in that tone of fsociety which
demands that wounded honor should be
washed in human blood.
The tongue of slauder is glib and
active. An evil word spoken in haste
is iudiscreetly conveyed, and, in its
repetition. often exaggerated. Bad
blood is generated, and human blood
flows, desolating the household, leaving
widows and orphans the victims of pas
sion, and wounded honor washed in blood
smells no sweeter for the lurid ablution.
These thoughts come upon reading
the sad tragedy enacted recently in
New Orleans. Mr.. Rainey having been
in business with Mr.. Boyd, was dissat-
isfed with his management, and spoke
of Boyd as thief. Boyd called on him
and asked him to retract. Rainey
refused. Boyd shot aod killed him
instantly, without any warning or threat.
Both parties moved in respectable cir
cles. Boyd was cotton press man.
Rainey was the book keeper Of q
national bank. Has Boyd proven, by
being murderer, (for in law he is
nothing eIse,) that he is not thief? If
he has never stolen before, has he not
stolen a precious life from orphan
children which he cannot restore ?
Why was this killing? Because society
had heard the whisperiugs Of this foul
SANDER, and, unless Boyd killed the
man who called him thief, his friends
and acquaintance would cut him as
coward and poltroon.
How little there is of true courage in
all this How blamable the whole
affair /? And yet the surface of present
society is rotten with this polluted
principle. Men should learn that time
wears out SANDER, and that rectitude Of
conduct give the lie to cowardce.
There is true bravery in leaving the
slandcrer to perish in lis own corrup-
tion.
We ned "new departure to cor
rect this evil of society, for the sake of
widow and orphans.
