nearly out of my wits. He turned the
key in the door q had always kept it

this closet or store room was in the "L''

than my room. Mr.. Burglar was not ac-
quainted with this fact. Glancing to-
ward me with his sharp eyes, to see if I
was quiet, he took a step forward and
went sprawling on all fours. I don't

let 1t be remembered, was produced by
a few men for the simple purpose of
making money out of it. This distress
was precisely what they aimed at. Their
project would have miscarried entirely
if they had not produced It. Not one
dollar have they made out of it that was
not forced from unwilling hands without
an equivalent. If they had presented a
pistol at the heads of their victims, and
said, Your money or your Iife," and
secured their booty in that way, they
would not have compelled the surrender
OF what was not theirs any more truly
than they did by the mode of compul-
sion which they deliberately and in cold
blood selected.
Now what are We to say of these men
and how are they to be regarded? That
they have committed q great and unpro-
voled outrage upon the community,
there Is 10 question. They have robbed
the rich, they have destroyed the weak,
they have distressed the poor, they have
obstructed the public prosperity, they
have clOgged the wheels of the national
industry, and all for the purpose Of
forcing an unearnedzcurrent of profit IN
to their own pockets, already gorged by
gains questionably gotten. If this is
not outrage and robbery IN the eye of
the law, it Is not because it Is not both
Of these IN the eyes of ali honest men
through whose pure, clear vision God
sends his own look through the world
In a community where tricks of this
sort are not uncommon, the tendency is
to become blind to their moral aspects.
Indeed, there is a kind of admiration of
these gigantic swindles, and the bold
bad men who stand behind them. In
stead of turning the back upon them as
rascals, who have hopelessIy disgraced
and blackened themselves, a very low
bow is made to them, or to the power
they bear. Instead of counting them
out of respectable society, utilization
with them IS deemed desirable, and
their position IS regarded as one to be
coveted. Wall Street holds a Thousand
men who would be glad to do Just what
IueS6 men nave uOue. w are having
all the time corners in money, corners
in stock, corners in grain, corners in
everything. The largest and worst gam
bling hell IN the United States Is Wall
Street, and the games played there
not one whit better than those which
are played at Baden, or Monaco, or Sar-
atoga-are more dangerous than all,
because they are carried on under the
protection of the law We have no pro-
lection from them except in arousing
the moral sense OF the community
against them, and in the social proscrip-
ton of all engaged IN them. These men
are not beyond shame. They do not
like to stand alone, but so long as their
power Is courted, and their society
sought by those who lay claim to decen-
cy,-so long as their acutOuess IS admir-
ed, and their success coveted, the whole
community Is at their mercy, whose
touderest quality is unmitigated cruelty.

The temperance question, now much
agitated in France, brings to the surface
one ingenious reformer, whose zeal for
the cause is at least equal to his discre-
ton. He proposes to outlaw the growth
of the grape, and to make the French
abstemious by encouraging the propa-
cation of the worms that destroy the
roots of the vine. He would thus do
away, not alone with the vines, but also
with the vanity of the French, for, says

the country gets to looking so lonesome
aud wo-begone- that capital becomes
frightened and scampers off,
Now, it is naturally painful to our peo-
pie to see magnificent country like this,
with its glorious climate, falling into decay
and lapsing into wilderness. They know
full well that all the elements of wealth
and prosperity are here and that they do not
need even encouragement, but only to be
let alone, in order to bloom forth in every
form Of national greatness. 1t is no won
der, then, that they want to get rid of
government which causes all this ruin,
which plumbers our people, rspresses
every industry, destroys every source of
credit and drives away capital. They have
no hope of getting rid of the Governor by
their own strength, considering the legal
Notifications he has built around himself,
and-the Governor is the Government.
They therefore, say to the national
power, Protect us with martial law. We
are tired of self-government when one man
does all the voting. We welcome the mus
ket 80 long as the butt Of it is on Ills neck.
We do not fear the sword, for it is not as
sharp as carpet-bag cunning, nor the
bayonet, for it is not as searching as the
tax-collector's signature.

there is the appeal to their charities for the

AT present the asylum can only accommodate

DEATH OF THE MOST REV. DR.. BRADY,
BISHOP OF PERTH.--We sincerely regret
having to announce the death of the Most
Rev. DR.. Brady, which took place on the
ID ult., at Amelu les Bains, in France. This
venerable prelate had attained the patriar-
chat age of eighty years, and died after
life spent in promoting the glory Of God
and the welfare of his fellOw-mau. He
studied his course of theology in France,
and went among the first missioners to the
Isle of Bourbon, where he labored for six
teen years, and converted not less than
twenty thousand of the natives. He then
visited his native country for short time,
from whence he went to Rome, and was
there consecrated Bishop of Perth, in West
ern Australia. There also he labered most
indefatigably and successfully for the diff
fusion of religion and civilization among a
neglected and ignorant people. He built
churches, founded converts and schools,
aud was untiring in his exertions to make
the light of religion and learning rise and
enlighten that portion of Christ's fold en-
trusted to his care. After his return to
Ireland his zeal and piety continued un-
abated, while his affability and courteous
manners wen the love and esteem of all
who had the pleasure of being acquainted
with him.

elected him. In the Same way, he, it 10
said and can we'll be supposed, returned to
the legislature Of his own sole will, in total
contempt Of the popular vote, sufficient
number Of his personal friends and retain
ers to give him . clear majority in the
Legislature for tho putting through Of any
scheme. The legislature 10, therefore,
but . reflex of his will, with merely sufi-
cient element of opposition to keep mp APP
pearances. Ours is, therefore, essential
~ a one man government.
Now we contend In all earnestness, that
this is mere mockery of representative
or republican government. 1t is the car
cass without the spirit, retaining nothing
of the original structure but the offensive
ness Of its decay. If the Federal Govern
ment really means to guaranty the republic
canism of our State Government, let it i'm
periously demand that the suffrage of the
votes shall be respected and their votes
counted; let it disperse the miserable
throng of pretenders and hypocrites who
meet here and call themselves a legislature
by the grace of Warmoth, and let it de-
clare that the election law which provides
for such fraud is a disgrace and a nullity.
A military government could then Re
appropriately established here until an
election should have been held under
proper auspices and until new legislature
should have repealed that obnoxious and
unrepubliean act called the election law.
