Il Is singular fsct that greet tcrimes Of certain
character often follow each other In rapid sue
cession, and occur apparently in something like
periodical cycles. The cause OF this, probably,
may be traced in measure to the excitement
and universal discussion which follow the COM
mission OF an extraordinary crime or crimes,
Minds diseased by criminal procliyities eaton
the contagion Of such an excitement, and are apt
to oarry out their wicked purposes by initiating
the example set. Latterly the public mas peeh
shocked by the preparation or strong suspicion
of the most heinous crimes. Strange 70 say,
too most these terrible crimes of late have been
charged to women, and, in some cases, TO wo-
men of respectable character and conduct other
wise. Yes, women who were exemplary mem
bere of Christian communities, and whose lives
seem to be above the reproach OF crime, have
been placed before the bar OF justice under
strong suspicion Of numbering their nearest rel
atives dearest friends, and even their own on
spring.

TERM ''PRINcIPLE."

The feud in this State is quite old, but was
| not allowed to distract the party while Mr. Lin-
coin was President nor till after Gen. Grant
had been more than year President. II came
to head when Moses H. Grinnell who was OF
no living" was removed by Gen. Grant to make Z
place for Thomas Murphy, who had upheld
the Philadelphia johnson Convention and OPP
posed Gov Fenton's reelection in that year
C1s66). That was plain declaration OF war
| and has been vigorously followed up. For more
than year, to be an avowed friend OF GOV
Fenton was to be marked for prescription at the
White House. We propose to endure this foi
One Term only.

IFrom the N Y. Herald.l
Now, then, let us propose settlement. lie
England propose that the whole question OF con
seduential damages be reduced to principle o
D, international law. Let her agree that In tn

and America neutral, that America shall not b
held responsible for any indirect or consequen
3 tial damages arising from the escape Of an
/ armed ships from our ports similar to those un
der which the Alabama and the English rebt
veseels escaped from Liverpool. UpoH this det
q laraton being made and ratified by the tw
r countries and hallowed into principle of intel
:, | national law so far as they are concerned, Il
America withdraw her case so far as claims fC
' indirect damages are concerned.
