IT is said that cruel people are always
towards. When Captain Jack was about
to be hung he repeatedly urged the pro-
priety and expediency of substituting
relative of his in his own place. He want
ed to be hung by proxy. That would
have been easier for him, but very much
like death to the other fellow.

The West has suffered fearfully from
this scarcity Of currency in the autumn, says the
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. 1.-The annual tax which
paid in consequence Of the present restrictions
is not less than five to ten millions. The principle
indubitable that if capitalists willing to
give ample and undoubted security in the form
of government bonds for the currency issued,
they should be permitted to obtain that amount OF
currency which the legitimate business of the
country imperatiyely demands. 1t is reported
that the President intends to recommend free
banking law. We regret that he has not done so
ere this.

BEEcHER ON CHASE.

4 s-..ff II.
The Oregon Bulletin says: 1.-The New York
Christian Union, edited by. Henry Ward
Beecher, after enumerating the commanding
qualities Of the late Chief Justice, refers to his
political aspirations in these terms" ..3 s.4
But these great endowments had their spiritual
limitation in that last infrmity in noble minds In
Americas desire to be President In the case Of
the great statesman who has just breathed his life
away among us this desire rose to passion. con-
suming fury. No man since Webster has had this
fever, this gnawing lust for the highest name and
power like Salmon r. Chase His name sparkled and
swayed beneath the jewelry Of all our stateiest civic
titles save one-Senator Governor Cabinet member.
Chief Justice-but none appeased the voracity Of his
ambition while the eliminating one was lacking. It
Ia probable that the clutch 0f his hope upon it
quite relaxed until the nomination Of Horace Greeley
at Baltimore This was Weakness 1t s true; but It
was weakness in which he had uncommonly good
company"
We do not think Mr.. Beecher is borne out
by the facts, Mr.. Chase always manifested
independence enough to do right, no matter In
what position he was placed Had he been
actuated by consuming fury to be Presi-
dent that very circumstance would at once
have dragged him down to the level Of the
mere politician. Independence Of character
and consuming fury" for an Office are in
the highest degree incompatible. Indeed the
successful politician is ever a cringing, toady
ing sycophant to that which is, or which he
coaceives to be, the popular will, albeit he well
knows its erroneoasness Such man Chief
Justice Chase was not. He was opposed to
public opinion nearly all his life; labored al
ways to correct the popular errors. Before
the war his efforts were directed to the over.
throw OF slavery; since that time, he has
labored with no less assiduity to curb the
spirit of lawlessncss and revenge which had
fastened itself upon the minds Of the masses,
during that mnrderous period; and it was by
his influence upon the Supreme Bench that
many Of the despotc practices which had
grown into use before he reached that position
were ovcrthrown, the most dangerous Of which
was the trial, (') conviction. and punishment
Of citizens by military commissions. And IL
was to overrule him that the number Of Judges
Of the Supreme Court was increased from
sevcn TO nine. and those two periured political
hacks. Bradley and Strong. appointed thereto.
IF Mr.. Chase had prostrated his great abilities
at the feet of base desire to be President he
would easily have reached the position. But
he did not, and the fact that he did not cannot
be thrust out Of sight by such puppets as Mr..
BcccLer.

THE BRIDES oFyENICE

At very early time certain events, which
| in other countries were observed in private,
were celebrated at Venice in public with oil
the splendid surroundings the taste and wealth
of the. nation were able to produce. On the
first Of February ia each year the republic
gave dowFies to twelve maidens upon their
marriage, and that day became the mast highly
favored for marriage among tho youthful ve,
netians. In 932, on the appointed day, when
the gay and happy congregation of low
ers with their friends wete assembled st ST.,
Marks, in the presence Of tho doge, ,Capdi-.
ano, IT,, and the chief rulers of. The state, the
marriage service was 'rudely Interrupted By .
violent knocking at the cathedraLdoorzd Ina
few moments, before the ny.tery could b.
solved. the; doors were, broken open, and .
large band Of men entered, armed to the teeth,
whose faces, FURNISHED from exposure to tho
sun and sen. were 1T once recognized - those
of pirates who haunted the Gulf of 1stria:
The pirates, swinging swords or axes in their
hands, advanced up the church, while the ter
rificd people shrank away from them. They
seized the marriage dowries Of the brides, and,
then the terrified maidens were rudely laid
hold Of and dragged from tho embrace Of low
ers and friends The air was filed with the
oaths Of the pirates, tho cries of the terrified
maidens, and the execratiOns Of the young
men. Opposition to men armed like these sea-
rovers BY those who were unarIt1ed was out OF
the question; and the Istrians succeeded in
escaping to their boats with their booty and
prisoners. Immediately upon getting clear Of
the crowded church the young men procured
arms and sought for bouts in which to give
chase to the robbers. The dnge ordered the
great bell of the Campapile to be rung, and
the people on every island flew to arms. In =
very short time the canals were covered with
gondolas full Of armed men, and, headed BY
tho doee. they set of ia pursuit. The pirates.
in their hurry, had mistaken the proper out
lets. aud before they reached the gulf were
overtaken. Then followed fierce encounter;
and when the doge gave the signal for return-
ing. not one pirate was left alive. The maidens
and their dowries were brought back in tri-
umpb, and the same evening the rudely-inter-
rupted ceremony Of the morning was recon-
menced and completed amid scene Of ganeral
rejoicing. This event was centuries afterward
celebrated by an annual procession. and By
games which lasted for six daye.-Tesice and
