Government and Laws.

We publish below an article copied from the
New York Uereontils Journal on the legitimate
object and purposes Of State and FEDERAL legisln-
ton. Tho article is entitled to careful and con-
siderate perusal, and will no doubt be found TO
address thst instnctvc idea Of rightand Of JUS
tice which, to greater or lesser extent prevails
in the conscience Of every man.
It's the complications oflog islshve cnActnents
which has produced most of the public evils
which curse this nation. BY such processes
monopolists, land -grabbcrs ard public plunder-
ers hare riOted in The very wAntonuSss Of wealth,
while the masses are robbed to sustain them
The great English law commentator, Black
stone, describes law as rule Of action com.
manding what is right and prohibiting what is
wrong This is concise and explicit statement
OF the exact purposes for which all laws were
originally inte nded. Laws established on gen
eral principles for the government Of country
and the regulation of its inhabitants, are OF the
utmost importance to the welfare ot the commu.
nifty but, lax or excessive legislation is greatly
- oedspured. Laws that are supposed to bo
created for bene6cent purpose, often come
shsrt OF the ends desired through the ignorance
or the yiciousuess Of the law makers.
In olIen times, laws were made practical by
their simplicity. The Mosaic code embraced
the germ Of modern statutes, and was ssuIied
aud remembered by the whole people, because
there was no chance for misunderstanding or eva.
sion. In strong contrast with the laws Of the
nations OF antiquity, are the legal enactneuts Of
the present day. The municipal laws of this
country are so frequently clothed in vsrbiaRs
and loaded down with irrelevant matter, that
they are liable to the most varied Interpretation
instead of establishing any principle as a guide.
Special legislation is the bane Of civil govern
ment. place Of the numerous ennc,men,s
bearing upon all conceivable projects, made to-
day to be forgotten or repealed Tomorrow, we
should have uniform sy item of laws of the
most explicit character and applicable to ques-
tions likely to arise in connection with every day
affairs. This wise policy would no, only reme-
cy existing evils, but utgreatly lessen the fountain
OF corruption which now flows SO abundantly v
from source that should only be prr,motirs OF
good 10 the whole people.
While our civil laws lack strength, simplicity
and effectiveness, our criminal Jurisprudence is
even more imperative In the cause Of good gov
ernment aat the prevention Of crime. Laws are
no longer a terror to the evil doer. The snbtlety
"f their provisions and the sophis!ry Of lawyers
make ready means Of escape for the Tweeds
and Connollys that prey upon the pubic. Even
nurderers BY employment of wealth or political
influence are enabled to escape from justi.e
which should b. insIorA5Ie AMI mlio certain in
Is execution.

The Irishman and the Priest

The importance Of every person reading and
thinking for themselves does not receive that at.
tention il should in this enlightened age. We
frequently hear Of families without scarcely A
book in the house, and are not subscribers to a
newspaper or periodical OF any kind. This sub.
ject is well illustrated in an answer made by q
poor lrishmaD to Catholic priest whils defend
ing himself for reading the Bible:
"But," said the priest, "the Bible is for the
priests and not for the likes oyou." "Ah! but,
air. he answered, 81 was reading in nv Bible,
You shall read it to ycnr children. an sure the
priests have got no children" "But Michael {"
says the priest, you can not understand tile
Bible. 1t is not O'you to understand il, nv
min." "Ah, very well. yer reverence, If / can
not understand it, it will do me NJ harm, and
what can understand does me heap o'good 1"
Very well Mike" said the priest. "you must
60 to the church. and the church will teach YOU
The church will give you the milk OF the word :"
"And whore does the church get it from but out

Hrials of a Chica 70 Publisher.

A. N. KELLooG. Esq. the Auxiliary Pub
Usher OF Chicago, and, without doubt the Aux
iary Publisher of the United States, relates as
follows some Of the troubles encountered in re-
establishing his business after having every
thing destroyed by the Chicago fire:
In doing this we have lnborcI un Ter many
disadvantages; sufficient presses aud types To
work with, and good rooms to work in were un-
obtainAole, and very many Of our impei feet IA

creased rate. Our dark rooms are lighted by
gas al monthly coat of over 81 IS, and for sew
erSl days and nights together wo have had "a

slsis IN spilling ltar, pitch, turpenline, grease
soap-suds, benzns. and a variety of other sootb.
ing fluids, through the s0litary inch boards thai
separate us from that heaven above. When a
day passes that they have not deluCed our
pre- emises. they are unhappy.
We might enlarge upon our trials by relating
the difficulties OF getting our furms- of which we
have very nearly one hundred newspaper narcs
