CHICAGO AND BOSTON.

The burning Of Chicago year ago and Of
Boston more recently, teach q lesson which
may he applied to individuals as we'll as COM
muuitics. We utterly scorn and contemn
the morbid and malicious suggestion that
these desolations Of the fre-fend, are vista
tions Of Providence as punishment for pos
litcal offences. We noticed such an intima-
ton in Virginia paper act long since. We
regard criticisms aud conclusions Of this kind
as the offspring Of insanity, aud the party
uttcring them as either blinded by hate to
such degree that the higher emotions Of the
heart arc smothercd, or he ft subject for a
Lunatic Asylum.
We believe that Providence demonstrates
His anger and vindicates his offended author
lily, by the display Of his power in such ca
tastrophes as these which desolated those two
imposing cities. But the sin was not polit.-
cal. Chicago has been the nursery Of every
grade Of crime condemned by the moral law.
Splendid and marvellous in her material prog
ress, almost fabulous in wealth, yet there ex-
listed in Chicago moro immortality than prob
ably in any city of the same population in the
world. Her gambling hells, her houses Of
nfamy, debauchery of every line, kept pace
with her material growth. They had become
a bv.word aud reproach to American c:vili-
cation.
Boston's crime was the worship Of the
Golden Calf Foremost in letters, surpass-
ing all other cities Of the Union in the splen-
dor and magni6cence of her buildings and
her accumulated wealth, she idolized these
and pointed to them as tho evidences Of her
greatness.
Both cities had become idolatrous and the
visitations which swept over them with desc
lating fury, we're but the messengers to teach
the proud and prosperous Inhabitants that
there is a higher destiny for man than tie
mere worship at the shrine of Moloch and
Bacchus-:hat the riches Of this world take
to themselves wings and fly away, while treas.
ures of a more righteous life are indestructi-
BILE and imperishablc.
| We sincerely believe that the heavy attic
tons laid upon these cities were intended as
messages Of mercy aud for their good. The
workings Of Providence arc mysterious and
past finding out. but it is safe to conclude
that the false worship of these two grand CT
ties has brought down upon the vengeance Of
Heaven, not only as lesson to those people,
but as stern warning to other great cities Of
crime, which may yet feel the avengiug an
ger Of an offended Providence.

We are no apologists for mnrderers. Yet
the food Of snathernnas poured forth with re-
ientless fury upon this unfortunate young
man BY almost the entiro press demands that
something in extenuation sof ihis conduct

and Washington republican and numerous
other journals in his own and other States
denounce the deed as cowardly and uucalled

while the destroyer of his home, the plumber

know how much better it would have been
to have left the seducer to be punished by
the justice Of the land and Of that Judge Of
Judges who claims vengeance as his prerog-
alive, but we are equally aware that the long
drawn conclusion of undiaturbcd meditations
is no crlterian by which to judge brain

by burning passion. 4

have been subject to the same jury the En-

NJ Braxton. Mr.. Sener Republican. Al
he is to be one of the representatives of yir.
ginia in the next Congress, and our reader.
knowing but little of him. we take from the
Washington Republican, the following brief
allusion to him. He is now, and has been
for some years past, editor Of the Fredericks-
burg Ledger
Mr.. Scner is native of Fredericksburg
Va, the town in which he now resides. Born
Of humble but highly respectable parents, in
1887, and is now In his 35th year. Upon a
third attempt he entered the University oe
Virginia as State student, where he grad
uatcd with distinction. Fur two years after
wards, in accordance with law governing
10 such cases. he taught school, at which pro.
fession he gained an enviabIe reputation in
the community where he taught. During
the two years he taught school he was read
Ing law and preparing himself for the bar,
and upon his retiring from teaching was adj
mitted to the bar, having passed most salts
factory examination. In the profession of
the law h, has gradually risen, and IS now ad-
mit.ed to be one among. if not the most sue
cessful lawyers at the Fredericksburg bar,
which is second to none in the State, unless
it be that of Richmond.
Mr. Sener is a man Of decided ability aud
vigor Of mind and intellect, and added to
these has indomitable will and perseverance
He has overcome embarrassments and diff
entities under which most OF men would have
sunk and given up in despair Mostly by
his own exertions he has risen from an hum
BILE mechanics son to the exalted position of
member of Congress. and we believe his star
is just teginning to rise. We verify believe
that the dav will come when the pr ople will
delight to honor him with still more re-
sponsible trust
Two years ago Hon. R. G. L. Moncure,
presiding justice Of the Supreme Court Of
Virginia, said of Mr.. Sener: Il signed his
license as lawyer some ten years ago. and
remember that he stood an excellen. exam
inaiion and made very favorable impression
upon all. lleis gentleman Of talents and
ambition, capable Of attaining. and no doubt
will attain, the highest honors of his profess
sion"

The New York Herald is always doing OF
projecting something wonderful. This spiri,
was infused into it by its founder, but does
not seem to have died out with him. It now
proposes an international fund for the aboli-
ton Of tho slave trade. A base Of operations
and definite plan. Of action is first to be
agreed upon. The Herald proposes to con
tribute thousand dollars, Congress is to be
called upon to make grant, and the Presi-
dent is to call together High Joint Com
mission, embracing representatives from all
the great Powers Of Europe, and from Spain
Portugal. and Turkey, and from Egypt and
other countries directly concerned, for the
purpose Of a general treaty, embracing the
complete abolition Of African slavery and the
African slave trade in both hemispheres.-
Aud thes Herald is to exploit the whole thing,
and cover itself with greatar glory than even
now accrues to it from the Stanley Living
stone expedition.
