It is natural for the unfortunate to blame
Others for their troubles. The French, dis
tracted and torn by their own factions, have
laid the responsibility of the civil war in
Paris upon Germany German spies, they
said returned to act as Communist leaders :;
such was Dombrowski. Now it is charged
that the English press has been singularly
and brutally Indifferent to the struggle which
has been going on in France; and the in
slant conclusion is that those Journals have
been bribed-bribed to Indifference. We can
only infer that the Exile of Chiselhurst is the
person whose gold has been used to procure Il
platonic retcence in England.

THE CIVILIZATION OF THE HALTER

We are not sure that anything we may say
can add force to the lesson in the great moral
institution of hanging which the Memphis re-
pOrters have unconsciously taught us by their
story of a recent execution in Arkansas The
average Memphis journalist looks upon blood
and bruises with sort of relish which we
are not wholly able to'appreciate, and describes
death with charming vigor and freedom of
style which we should strive in vain to copy.
Hence, if it were possible to add brighter
glow to the rosy facts connected with the vio-
lent taking off of John ROsebOrough and Henry
Harris the other day at Marion, Arkansas,
we should undoubtedly find it in the graphic
narratives Of the Memphis papers from
which we have already given our readers an
abstract. But the plain facts were 80 eloquent
that rhetoric would only spoil them. The cul-
prits, both negroes, were confined in the same
cell, in a little four-roOm Jail, and the gallows
upon which they were to vindicate the majesty
of the law was erected in corner of an in
closure surrounding the building. When all
was in readiness, the sheriff waited upon his
prisoners and requested them to come out
and be hanged Just here there was an
unfortunate hitch in the arrangements. The
prisoners refused to come. Somebody had
given them an iron bar and with this
they stood at bay. They blocked the narrow
entrance to the cell, brandishing their weapon,
filling the air with curses, shrieks, prayers,
threats, and hymns, and vowing to STAY the
first man who crossed. the Threshold The
sheriff reasoned with them" in vain. He
begged them to come out and do things
"decently and in order" He did MT want
any FUSS" and preferred not to mutilate"
them. In fine, he put it to them, as men of
taste that it would be best TO step out peace
ably and have a nice quiet funeral. If he
had been their own father. he could not have

urged the point with morebtenderness but, to
quote the terse language Of Memphis re-
porter, the prisoners only "riled up"
Hereupon "Mr. Manus said he would
ego in there and take out those
"prisOners.r Mr.. Manus disappeared for
a moment into the hdeous darkness, and
after brief interval tumbled out again with
"blosd squirting out of his jaw" and his nose
"jerked around the other way" To quote
once more the Memphis report the prisoners
chad signifed their intention to see this thing
through Meanwhile tunult ragged among
the citizens of Marion who had come to see
the show. In the jail-yard there were fifty
men. all armed to the teeth, all pointing their
guns and revolvers at the prison door, and all
bowling because the sheriff would not let them
90 in and shoot the negroes in their hole. Out
side the yard were thousand more, maddened
by the sounds of fight in which they were
not allowed to share, and brandishing fire
arms in the most unpleasant manner.
Just at this moment "Chief ODOnnell Of
Memphis put in an appearance" TO the
sheriff Chief 0'DOnnell proposed little ar
rangement. He said he bad a few friends
with him who had come over from Memphis
side. and if they might come in they would
agree, in consideration OF the privilege, to
"render any assistance in their power 10
"the end that the law might be carried out"
1t is needless to say that the chief and the
sheriff shook hands on this bargain. The
Arkansas official stipulated, however, that
there should be no mutilatiOn." for he was
bound to hang a whole Niger or none at all.
With this understanding four OF. Cher
O'Donnells friends together with ian
ARKANSAS gentleman named NJ l.. wind
"sor,r "took off their coats, rolled up
"their sleeves, laid their pistols and other jew

behind them. Perhaps we may as well leave
it shut. 1t is enough to know that after
short surpense and the noise of "grinding OF
"teeth, cursing and loud shouting the negroes
were dragged forth securely bound and hap

the spectators were strangled "decently and III

Now perhaps the advocates of capital pun
ishment will tell us what they think OF this
exhibition of American civilization. Is 1t yln-
dicating the majesty of the law, Is 1t teaching
a great moral lesson, is it intoxicating the
sacredness of human life to set a mob hunting
two poor wretches outaOf a cell, as beasts are
hunted from their holes, and to fill thousand
men with maddening thirst for blood, the
most brutalzing and ferocious of all forms of
passionf Look at the picture, friends of the
gaRows! Think of that horrible hour i'll the

The Mobile Register having asserted that Mr..
Greeley made "the suffering people of the
"South pay him $500 for an Address before
an Agricultural Association" it seems due
to the People of Texas to say that no syllable
ever passed between Mr.. Greeley and those
who invited him to that State on the subject
of compensation. He never limited to them
that he expected or required any sum what
ever for making so long journey i'll their
behalf they gave him at their own time what
ever sum they thought fit; and no word OF
bargain or decker was interpOsed on either
side.
The RegiSter sees fit to add that
"Inasmuch az Greeley is professional philanthropist
and a dear friend Of our people, it might have been
graceful Of him to Ego to Texas for nohng or at least
to have deducted fifty per cent from his little bill"
Whether the said Greeley is "a professional
philanthropist," &C., or the writer of the
above is a liar, others will judge. AS Mr.. g..
had no little BILL" and never presented any,
he could not well deduct from it. But he wishes
it now and evermore understood that he be-
lieves the labOrer worthy Of his hire-that he
has always worked for hisliving, as he still does
that he prefers to stay at home rather than
make long journeys on purpose to deliver ad-
dresses-and that, should he ever be charitably
inclined, he claims the right to select the OBJ
jects of his benefcence. Those who invite a
speaker from a distant State and charge for
admission to hear him, expect to make money
by so doing and to require him to travel at
his own cost would be the meanest kind of
robbery. Instances of this must be rare.
The Wilmington Del) Gazette improves on
the above as follows
a good many years ago, Greeley came 10 Wilmington
to lecture, and was paid what then thought high
hgure-we think about SIS, Mr. Greeley took the money
and carefully counted over pointing out several notes
that or two cents below par"
Whoever is responsible for this story is
liar, whose baseness affords at least an excuse
for the retention of the whipping-pOst in Del
aware. We do not believe there was ever a
lecture committee in Wilmington mean enough
to pay its lecturers in deprecated paper; if
there ever was, Mr.. G. is so fortunate rs to
have escaped any dealing with it.

A. b. is informed that newspaper discus
sion of the right or wrong of the eXaction of
an income tax from the Central Railroad on
its alleged surplus earnings in past years
seems to us uncalled for, and that we have
not intended to express any opinion in the
premises. What has seemed to us essential is
simply that a rich and powerful corporation
shall be treated exactly like unknown and in
significant Peter Jones or John Smith. If it
owes Uncle Sam the money. it must pony up
if it do MT owe, it can successfully resist the
claim, in the way open to any and every
overtaxed citizen, and in no other. There must
be one law for rich and poor, and it must be
enforced against the former exactly as it is
against the latter. That is all there is of the
Central Income Tax with which the journals
have any legitimate business. All beyond that
belongs to the proper legal tribunals, and we
have no reason to doubt that they will deal
with it according to law and equity.

the true field of Austrian craftsmanship is
not in foreign wars or in diplomatic intrigues-

The persistent McGarrahan again comes to
the fore. 1t is now reported that the Presl-
dent has ordered the restitution of the record
of the patent reported to have been granted
10 McGarrahan for the tract of land in Cali
fornia known as the Panoche Grande
Rancho. There is question whether the
patent was ever signed, and across
the face of the record in the Interior Depart
ment was written what would amount to a
cancellation thereof. The only effect of the
order reported to have been issued by the
President, therefore, would be to restore the
record. The signed and completed patent for
the land has never yet been produced.

Telegraphic advices inform us, with immense
gravity, that the City of TampicO has been
stormed and taken at the point of the bayO-
net. This means that 400 men, commanded
by two regimental officers of the Mexican
army, have been compelled to give up their
little rebellion in TampicO. The revOlutiOnists

himself has prevented a serious opposition
from arising against him in the very begin
