There is fine flavor of the old time in letter
written by Mrs. NJ. Ii. Schoolcraft, widow Of the
late Indian historian, TO The Liberal Christian,
squarely defending Slavery civilizing and evan
gelzing institution and sharply rating our Adolf
ton Brother" for bis work in destroying it. Mrs.
Schoolcraft says: Repentance for other mems SINS
which is Puritan popularity of conscience. de-
manded that we Shareholders should become beggars
for the sake of the Abolition conscience, in opposi
ton to our own Bible consciences, that did not
regard God progressive in His morals or capable of
going back on His own orders to take our bondsmen
from among Inc heather nations around u.s." A
faith and consistency like this form the stuff that
martyrs are made of.

The American Bishop Mcllvaine, at a recent
conservation of Bishops in Westminster Abbey
appeared in black gown, to the great scandal of
The Guardian newspaper, which attributed the
Bishops costume TO certain scrupes as to the robes
in the days of the Reformation. Upon this CORE
spondent comes to the rescue and explains this
important matter. Bishop McIlvaine, it appears
went to the Abbey solely to be one of the cOngrega
ton. and was advised to put on gown merely that
he might get near the pulpit. He had no thought of
participating in the service until the other Bishops
were proceeding to the laying on of hands when the
Archbishop specially requested him to join in the
ceremony SO the Right Reverend Father was not
intentionally heterOdOx in his clothing after all.

Some Washington gossip about the rival
railway schemes in Mexico, herewith printed, is
favored with genuine Americanism. 1t is
gravely asserted that the representatives of one
of the cOntesting companies lost 100000
while playing poker" with party of
Congressman. and that they Immediately after
got their scheme through Congress The in
ference is that the loss at cards was a trick
to cover the transfer of a bribe and that the
game "was MT on the square" Investigating
Committees are not in vogue in Mexico.

Mr. John B. Alley on the witness stand is
invariably tough customer. Little or moth
ing has ever been extracted from him. So
nobody will be disappointed to find that when
brought before the Wilson Committee yester-
day. he knew next to nothing of the illegal
expenditures of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company. Yet, he testifes that DR.. Durant
expected that the $4,000 which he presented
20 Mr.. James Harlan, "as token of friend
"ship,n should be taken from the Company's
funds. To this Mr.. Alley objected; conscien-
tious and thrifty Alley!

Sanitary Science, it appears, is not to be
taken under the wing of our patenal Govern
ment. The bill which provided for a general
supervision of all manner of causes and cure
of disease, meteorology, preventives, statis-
tics, natural phenomena, lunar disturbances,
solar influences, ETC., ETC., has not met the
approval of Congress. Perhaps the occasion
was hardly grave enough to have called for
much denunciation of the scheme; but we are
heartily glad that a proposition to centralize
at Washington the laws of nature has come to
nothing.

IL must be taken for granted that any
proposition in Congress for the completion of
the Washington Monument must necessarily
involve the expenditure of the public money
to secure that end The House of Representa-
tives is cogitating the matter, and a Com
mittee has been appointed to prepare a plan
for the finishing of the Great Unfinished. The
near approach of the National Centennial seems
ia have rouseS Congress to the conviction that
something ought to be done. Public opinion
is divided between Tie expediency of tearing
down what bis already buiit of the monument
and the shame of completing it according to
the original design.

Murder and Assassination In Arkansas
-POstOffiee Robbed.

LITTLE Rock, November 26.-On last
Monday, at Fulton, a man named
Pickett and two brothers named Cassi-
dy, got into dispute over a game of
cards, when Pickett shot both Of the
Cassidys, mortally wounding one, from
the effects of which he soon died, and
seriously wounding tie other. Puckett
was arrested and star ed overland from
Fulton to the county -5ite, Washington,
and when a short distance from Fulton
he was shot from the bushes. He fell to
the ground and was left for dead by the
officer, who went off for assistance, and
on his returning he found Puckett gone.
He was soon found, however, trying to
make his escape, though badly hurt.
He was taken back to Fulton and yes
terday put on a train for Hope station,
to be conveyed from there to WASH
iRgtOn. A party of Irishmen tried TO
stop the train and take possession Of the
prisoner Tor the purpose of lynching
him, but were deferred by the exertions
of the officers. 1t is reported that the
prisoner died last night

ANOTHER THIEF GONE.
IngersOII; One of Tweed's Pals, FOund
Guilty Of RObbing New York,
and Awaiting Sentence.
Another Scoring Charge by Judge
DaVis-AnOther Example for FOrg-
ers and Ring Thieves.

NEW YORK, November 26.-In the
Ingersoll and Harrington case this after
noon, Tremaine closed for the prosecu-
ton, and Judge Davis delivered
lengthy charge occupying over two hours.
On the first count in the charge, on
indOrsing the name of Heath & Smith,
it was enough. if there was collusiOn
between Ingersoll and Harrington,
though one of them might not
have touched the paper; and the
second count in the charge of lettering
the warrant fraudulently, the judge
said it is sufficient to establish that the
defendants issued the warrant knowing
it to be forged for the purpose of getting
the money of the county transferred to
Ingersoll's credit. The theory OF the
prosecution was that the bill had been
made out at the sanction OF Ingersoll,
and being a courthouse commissioner,
he used the name of the extinct firm of
Heath & Smith. 1t was then neces-
sary to forge the Endorsement of Heath
& Smith to transfer the money. There
is some doubt as to who wrote this in
dorsement. The writing is neither
Heath's nor Smiths. Mr.. Far
rington, 1t is conceded, wrote the
body of the bill, and an expert testifes
that the signature was written by the
same person, but it is not so material
whose writing it is, provided it was done
by the agency, and under the control of
both or either of the defendants for a
common object. The paper got into In
gersoll's hands, and it required an in
dorsement for payment, and was in
dorsed, and in the absence of an explain
alton the jury must decide on facts. IfI
they believed the defendant Earring
tom had the permission TO use the
name of Heath & Smith, the
jury could net convict of forgery,
Notwithstanding the enormous frauds
on the city that we all believe were COM
mitted, and which were proved on an
other trial. You are to look on this case
rather than upon the evidence before
you; but if you find it one of number
of frauds you should remember it is of
the highest importance that pub
lie officers should be held to a
strict account and punished; for
such offenses, unlike sordinary ones,
show no yielding to the sudden impulse
of anger; no giving way before the |
temptation of weakness or want, but |
coolness and deliberat on in robbing |
those whom they were bound to protect, |
which should call for cOndign punish |
ment. If you find both or either not
guilty, acquit; if otherwise, convict. |
The jury retired at four forty-five and |
returned in half an hour with a verdict |
of "guilty.u Sentence deferred to Fri |
day, owing to the indispOsition of Mr.. |
Fullerton.

QUARANTINE.
Epidemic Diseases Must be Quarantined
They DONOt Arise from Dirt
or Filth.

EDITORS APPEAL - For months
from our papers we have heard
Of nothing scarcely but filth, disease,
sanitary regulations and boards of
health, until the public mind has been
misled into the conviction that we have
the most uncleanly and unhealthy city
in existence, when the truth is that no
equal population in West Tennessee or
North Mississippi suffers so little from
ordinary diseases as does our own.
Newspaper writers have fallen into the
mistake that epidemic diseases are
produced by filth, while they make
the additional mistake OF regard
ing Memphis a very dirty place,
the truth being otherwise, and necessa-
rily otherwise, for besides being the best
drained city naturally TO be found, it is
almost wholly exempt from The circum-
stances ordinarily esteemed 10 give ex-
istence to malaria. / repeat the asser-
ton, that we have the best drained city,
naturally, to be found, and as it is pro-
posed TO eXpend large sum for sewer
age, will add, that surface-drainage so
far as it concerns the health of 8 city, is
infinitely superior to sewerage, for the
latter will never be so perfected as to

sorption of offensive matter, which
would readily be diluted and washed

face. drainage. The epidemic from which
we have just emerged in no
wise depended on any OF the
facts uog being discussed for its
origin, existence OF prevalence. Had
every house ia Memphis been marble
palace, and every street and alley paved
with marble, when yellow-fever was
put off of the steamer Bee. in Happy
Hollow, it would hRve spread over the
city Just as it did, aud slain Its thou
sands, then Rs now.
Epidemic diseases are iii no sense
amenable to what are denominated the
ordinary laws of health and disease.
The masses can understand that the
cause producing smallpox must essen
TALLY differ from the causes producing
scarlet-fever, measles or whooping-
cough, each a peculiar disease, aud
originating from different eauses-each
from a cause peculiar to itself-specific.
What is true Of them Is equally
true Of yellow-fever. It's cause is
a specifie one, and like each
of the others, when once suffered, de-
sfrovs the capacity of the system to suf-
far & second attack. This is the law Of
All these diseases. There are exceptions

enc present instances Of a second at

but these instances are tie exceptions,
and they occur no mOIe fsequently in

able from the fact, that during is prevs-
lence il is customary to call all fevers
