Sensible Talk.
From the Memphis Avalanehe.l

From the memphis Ayalanche.l
In his charge to the Grand jury of
Richmond county, Georgia, Judge
Gibson made use OF language which Is
copied below 1t will do for the young
men and the old men to think about.
1t suggests Il rule of action by which
person may suffer his life to be gov
elned advantageously. Referring to
the extraordinary number of trials
that had been before the court, he
concluded his charge by saying:
A young man may labor; yea, even
produce five or six bales of cotton
with his own hands, and he passes I'M
noticed in society, especially if hisap-
parel is such as is usually worn by Ia
boring men. But let Il young man
carry upon his person concealed
deadly weapon, and be expert i'll the
use of firearms, ut billiard tables or
cards, and perchance have imbrued
his hand in the life blood of his fellow
man, upon some frivolous preteXt, he
becomes hero, and the remark is of
ten made of him that he has killed
his man, which remark causes many
of the thoughtless youths of the land
to be inspired by an ambition to go
and do likewise.
The only remedy can suggest to
correct this evil and pernieious prac
tee is to have few instances of
hanging; Il murderer driven through
IL street on Il coffin, with rope made
secure, will reduce this wonten and
heinous crime of killing people to its
legitimate and proper depths of in
fanny. Every killing is murder, I'M
less the circumstances of the killing
made it necessary to save ones own
life or person and property from an
attempted felony, or unless consider
able provocation were given by which
an irresistible passion was aroused
when no mixture of deliberation or
revenge could be supposed to actuate
the slayer, which the law permits, in
defence of human frailty, to be de-
nominated manslaughter. 1t makes
no allowance whatever for young
bloods or chivalrous braves, who seem
to be afraid to walk yonr quiet streets
or attend Il party of ladies without
concealed deadly weapons npon their
| person.

sat in my sewing chair all night. Oh,
how heavily he breathed. And had,
as you may fancy, the most dreadful
fears. He might have killed himself
by his over-applieation to business,
for all that | knew. The perfect ones
go first, it is said.
Oh, how differently should | have
felt had anything happened to my be-
loved Orlando. He. has not had so
exhausting a day since, and | think he
sees the folly of overworll; though OF
course he will keep open so late; but
what can poor lawyer do? | think
it is very inconsiderate of the Judge.

he did not receive, and denied SO votes that he
did get; while Mr.. Pierce WAS credited with 10
votes he did not got, and denied II he actually
received. In the cnses OF other candidates, the
recount reduced tho vote all the way from 81
in one case to 756 in another; while, by
the recount, other candidates made d net gain
over losses on votes from in ono case to 436
in another. Tho vote of every candidate US re-
ported, was found wrong in every ward and in
the aggregate. Evon q candidate who was voted
for on both tickets had his vote wrongly counted
in every ward. This matter is an evil Of the
greatest magnitude. II these gross errors,
amounting in the Boston case to the defeat OF
candidates who were actually elected, exist in
cases where there is no fraud, how utterly i'm
potent in cases whcro fraud is actually porpe-
tratod must the Inspectors be to detect and pre-
vent it. These disclosures, following so closely
upon one another, show that there must be some
remedy applied, or elections will become mere
matter Of guess-work.

Tho proceeding in bankruptcy instituted
against the New Orleans Times was begun in the
morning at the opening Of DureuB court, and in
tho afternoon the Office was in the possession OF
he Marshal, and tho further issue Of tho paper
stopped. Tho proprictors rendered the amount
claimed, with q large additional sum to co7cr
costs but the offer was refused, and tho Court,
without giving the defendants hearing, ordered
the seizure Of tho Office and the suspension OF
tho paper. The proprietors, however, leaving

We, able by tho next day to obtain the
machinery and facilities for publishing

one publication. they issued another paper
1ea ing tho same name. We sec no reason,
h-';ever, why tue Judge should not, upon The ap-
'.:cation Of any person, order the seizure Of the
.;cw establishment, and closing mp of the second
paper. It is to be hoped, however, that the pub
Lie sentiment Of the country will hare the effect
in restraining this reckless judicial tyrant from
any further exhibitions of his rage. AS soon as
tlio Legislature shall have elected the United
States Senator, these extraordinary operations
will cease. Meanwhile, it is tho duty Of Con-
gress to npeach Durcll and remove him from

We called attention some tino ago to tho
many evidences of the careless or ignorant n,an-
ner in which ballots wero examined and counted
by the Election Judges. \ recount OF tho yo.o
for Sheriff in st. Louis County showed that out
OF tho tifty-four election precincts in tnat
county The vote as returned by the Judges did
not correspond with that in the boxes in moro
tl..n Eve instances. No instanced several dis
tricts in this city where tho vote for Representa-
tives WAS not correctly counted, and nearly l 200

was there any ground for suspectins fraud; the
errors were THO result OF ignorance and care
lesEness on tho part of the Inspectors. Now

election. Tho officers to bo chosen
wcre Mayor, Street Commissioner
and twelve Aldermen, all elected on general
ticket. The vote, as returned in Ward 2, was so
preposterous that general recount wss ordered.
When this took place it WAS found that in not one
of the precincts in the sixteer wards was tho vote
for any one Of the twenty y-ei4ht candidates cor
rectly reported; in not single instance did the
count OF the Inspectors agree with the ballots in
the boz. There was no suspicion OF fraud here,
but there WAS overwhelming evidence Of univor-
sal carelossness and inaccuracy in the counting,

the English do uot think that worship should
completely bar out the feature Of recreation.
Church-going is strictly observed, but, having
gone to church, tho Londoner believes in par
ticu1arly good dinner or refreshing excursion
to the country. The theatres and ali. ll.public
places Of amusement are closed, but tho Thames
River is alivo with Plcasure-boats, ind Kew
Gar(lons and Cromorno are crowded with gny1y-
dressed pleasure-seokcrs. There is moro OF
that spirit about the English Sunday which wo
would call orderly and dccorous than can be
found on the Continent but there is nothing in
it, on tho other hand, that corresponds to the
American notion Of dovoting tho day exclusive
ly to the worship Of tho Lord, and to mortifyiug
the flesh as much as possible.
The lesson Of those distinctions between the
customs Of keeping Sunday is obvious. It is not
for the Puritan nor for the German to say that
ho alone is right in his construction. Both Of
them receive their notions from those who went
before them; and as Monday might have been
selected as the one day in seven, instead Of SUM-
day, there is no intrinsic holiness belonging to
Sunday any more than to other days. It is only
right that the customs and traditions of coun-
try should be respected; but no other duty is
necessarily attached to tho day. Intolerance on
both sides is the cause of the incessant agitation
Of the Sunday question in this country, where
the population includes the three elements that
have been described. # those who believe in
tile American custom could once make up their
minds atthe European custom was not positively
wicked, all they would ask would be the privilege
OF pursuing their own customs without inter-
ruption or annoyance. This much, on the other
hand, must be conceded by the Europeans.
They come to this country and should be care
ful not to array themselves against its customs,
especially 80 long rs they are usually permittedto
enjoy their OWL preferences and continue their
old habits in quiet and inotfensi7e manner. It
may be that America is not yet old enough to
have had it's custom Of observing Sunday finally
and firmly established, but the change can only
be very gradual. In the meantime, mutual to1-
GRAFTON on tho part of those who differ in regard
to the observance Of the day will enable us all to
spend Sunday pretty much according to our own
inclinations, without annoying anybody else.
