OUR dispatches this morning announce
that GERRErT SMITH is dead. He WAS
taken suddenly sick the morning after
Christmas, while, apparently, in the en-
ioyment of splendid health. His disease
is thought to be combination OF
apoplexy and paralysis. Thus, one by
one the fanatical band OF which nc was
member, is passing away, and tortn-
nately, for the country, their places are
not being rapidly filled.
1t i, strange, tso, how the majority oil
these lifelong agitators come to sudden
deaths. OF five, the most prominent,
whose names suggest themselves, three
died suddenly. THAD. STEVENS llnser-
cd long, and PARsoN BRowNLow is still
lingering through Il living death; but
CHARLES SUMNER GEREETT SMITH and
old john BRowN were all cut off almost
in moment, even in the midst of med
,ating fresh aggressions.

frowned upon the birthday Of Christ

.BURGLAR's RIGHTS

In community Astounding in such law
lcssncss, as aay after day we read exist,
in New York, it seems odd that there
should be found men of such delicate
Scnsibilities, as to be willing to stand upon
nice distinctions of right and wrong, IL
def nding themselves and property from
midnight assassins and robbers. Yet, Il,
il takes all sorts of people ~ make
world, so there may be found just such a
class of men. These are 50 terribly acute
f. the benefits of lawfulncSS, that they
would stand still and allow their throat:
to be cut or their houses piLlaged, rather
than risk committing murder, by shoot
ing down those perpctrating the crime
AT any rate they think the least they
can do, is to politely challenge the would
he murderer or burglar, before pulling
the trigger.
To show that such men do exist, W.
sec in a. recent Herald that one of these
high-mindcd New York gentlemen IN,
addressed to that eminent lawyer, Dir
CHARLES O'CoNoR, the following que
tons:
81. l. there law on the statute book
in regard to the challenging OF burglar
bv his intended victim before firing on
him, even when in the act Of plundcring
his goods?
-. Would the law justify II person i'll
firing on and killing Il burglar simply on
seeing him cndcavoring I" effect an en-
trance into his house Mt night?
In response, Mr.. OCoNoE does not
plant himself so firmly upon the law, or
show such respect for its tcchnicalitics
under these circumstances rs he would
under others. He says in effect, shoot
him on the spot.
"And whatever exact duty might en-
ioin. no magistrate will commit the slay-
ers to prison, no grand jury will indlct
them, nor will any district attorney prose-
cute or petit jury convict. II, indeed,

BEECHER AND CHRISTMAS.

After all there is great deal {" be
said towards explaining the pcculinritic>
and cccentricitics of Rev. HENRY WARD
BEECHER. By his own account, he must
have had in early youth, severe and

season 81 full of happiness to all, but

that we should see the seed thus sown,

R FAME
THE E N
lFrom the Times.)

Tho French Assembly has enjoyed three
important Debates and as many Divisions
within a few days. The proposition of
NJ. CAsIMIR-PERIER for the Interpretation
IF the SeptennQte in o Republican sense
has failed, the discussion of the Constitu-
tional Laws has been postponed until after
the Recess, and now the long-threatened
motion for the Dissolution of the Assembly
has been made and rejected. The Assem-
bly, has decided, first, that it will not i'm
press a definite character on the French
State, aud, secondly, that it will take its
time in erecting the political machinery
thought to be indispensable in all societies.
In both of these decisions it has had the
cOuntenance and the skilful support of the
Government. Nothing could be more OPP
perfume and effective than the appearances
Of General DE CIssEY and General CHABAUD
LAToUR to give an official reason for doing
what the Majority was inclined to do. The
result was that the Assembly, as on ell
important occasions during the present
Session, took refuge in inaction. The
Deputies left things as they were, and we
are bound to say that a large part of the
public have encouraged them in the opin-
ion that they could not nave done better.
But this view could not be general, and
the votes of the Assembly naturally reused
the advocates of a Dissolution. These as
serted more passionately than ever what
every one is beginning to admit-that no
organization of the State, and, indeed, no
Constitutional Laws, are to be expected
from the distracted body which is now
gathered at Versailles. The Assembly had
evaded every declaration of principle, not
out Of any polite preference for Provision
al Government as the best fitted to actual
circumstances, but from sheer inability to
agree. Marshal IMAGINATION and his per
souat Septehnate were but the refuge for
their pihcapqcity. Among the more zeal
GUS spirits OF the Assembly, whether Con
servatlves or Liberals, the impulse quick
ened to be rid Of q Legislature which is the
incarnation of feebleness, and to appeal to
the country. The motion for a Dissolu-
ton became the political topic of the
hour;' it's promoters displayed a new acti-
vlty, and received assurances of support

A STRANGE PASSENGER

Early in May, I770, the brig Palmet.

town, South Carolina, with provisions
and ammunition for the garrison on
Sullivan's Island. which WAS under
the command of Colonel Mou!iric.
.As both the squadron OF Gen. Gin

period. oil Cape Fear River, the un-

seaman, and for his crew. had selected

passage in Tic Palmetto.
The stranger, apparently occupied
with his own thoughts, seemed to pay
little attention to the. mareuvrcs Of
the sailors.
Watching him abstractly walking

bent downward, his eye seldom lifted,
the crew would Shrug their shoulders,
declaring their belief that hC IVES a

luck would come from having him On
