James s. Pike, endorsed by the
New York Tribune aud the Colum-
bia Union, says:
Without going into details, il is
enough to say that the men who lead
and mnn &c the Legislature aud the
State Government are thieves and
miscrennts. The great body of the
Legislature are the ignorant and cor.
rupt instruments with which the lend
crs work, and through the individuals
composing this mass arc bought and
sold like cattle in the market, their
venality in some oascs is relieved of
much of its criminality by reason of
the densencss of their ignorance.

the human body is entirely changed and re-

part of our bodies is wearing out and is
being buiit up anew Of fresh matter. This
work is accomplished by the blood which
goes through every part. But if the blood
becomes weak or vitiAtsd, and does not per-
form its work properly, the system is actual

Our able and comprehensive Presi-
dent, as Jack Downing used to say of
President Jackson, "has got his dan
der up" He is understood to declare
that he will put an end to the "gener
al order business" in New York, even
if he has to secure the discharge OF
Leet! He IS going to do it, too, be-
fore the fall election occurs, or die in
the attempt. His virtaous indigna-
ton is fearfully aroused, and woe to
the offender who comes in his way
without present. He is not to be
quieted by any inferior gift, either.
Nothing short OF house and lot can
subdue the terrible sense of indigna,
ton which he feels. 1t is fearful
thing to see the great mind of such a
great man lashed into foam of virtuous
wrath, but it is. after all, as purifying
to the political atmosphere as is ths

ILLINOIS TEMPERANCE LAW.

Recently Mr.. Reddick, o member
of the Illinois Senate from the La
Sale Senatorial DItrict, was active
in preparing and securing the pa s.
age in that body Of temperance or
anti-whisky law, quite rigid enough
to satisfy the most extreme advocate
of temperance legislation. The law
! is the one known as the Ohio law, its
leading features being that it holds
the liquor seller responsible for the
damage resulting from intoxicatioD.
The following is brief synopsis of
tho law, and will afford our readers q
pretty clear idea of its scope and gem
eral character:
SEC. /. Liquor sellers to have IL
cense, and TO give bonds in 81 900 to
pay all damages assessed against
them, etc.
2. Dealers TO sell no liquor to mi
nors or persons intoxicated, "or in
the habit Of getting intoxicated, ex-
cept on an order from parent, guar
dian or family physician.
3. All places where liquors are sold
in violation Of this act to be declared
nuisanees and abated as sncn.
A. Liquor seller causing any per-
son to become intoxicated to pay fIr
charge of such person while 30 i'll
toxicated.
5. Husband, wife, children, en-
ployees, etc., to have action agai st
liquor sellers for all damages in con-
sequence of intoxication OF son, bus-
band. employee, ETC., and owners of
property where liquor is sold to be
Jointly liable with the dealer for such
damages.
6. Prescribes penalties for viola
, ton Of preceding section.
Z. Giving away liquor, or other
shifts to evade the law, to be regard
ed US selling.
=. All property. real or personal.
OF the liquor seller. held liable for
payment of any fines imposed. and
the building in which liquor is un-
lawfully sold, no matter TO whom be-
longing, also held liable for payment
of damages. fines, etc.
9& 10. Further provisions for en-
forcing this act by fines, imprison-
rnent, etc.

wOMAN's RIGHTS In PRAC-
TICE.

A lamentable state of things ex
lists in Wyoming Territory, says the
Washington Patriot where women
are accepted rs jurors as we'll as vo-
ters. Recently a man was tried for
his life for murder before q jury which
included three women-marricd-in
its number. On the third day. when
all the testimony was nearly in, one
OF the females became i'll and was ex-
cused. Another juror was sworn
and all the testimony had to be taken
over again for the benefit of the new
juror. Finally, after weeks labor,
and at cost of $1,000 to the county
the prisoner was declared guilty of
murder in the first degree. At this
ijuncture, however, it was for the first
time discovered that one of the te-
males who had sat on the jury was not
citizen of the United States, of
which fact the gallantry and modesty
of the counsel for the prosecution,
who hesitated to ask impertinent
questions of the ladies, had kept him
in ignorance. 1t now became neces-
sary to order new trial, but the un-
happy prisoner requested to be al
lowed to plead guilty to murder in
the second degree, and be punished
with Imprisonment for life, rather than
undergo another trial before female
jury The request of the culprit was
granted by the Court, and so the le-
gal farce ended. These We're the GU
rious judicial features of the case -
but who can estimate at their proper
valuation the unnatural social and do
mestic incidents connected with it?-
The incarceration for seven successive
days of the jury, under the fathery
and refined charge of the Sheriff; the
muttered curses and loud complaints
of the deserted husbands and outcries
of their bawling children, as they daily
besieged the courtroom to catch a
glimpse, however evanescent, of the
neglectful wives and mothers? Who
but no; let us forbear. The theme
is too painful to linger upon it.
