THE QUESTION OF EC>,xowy

Speaking of the heavy costs con-
nected with crimin.l prosecutions, the
Manchester DeE..ocrut says:
The actin Of the Comptroller in
calling a convention of the Judges and
Attorney Generals of the State was APP
prJyed by the press generally, and was,
@e think, step in the right direction.
And it seems to us that the political
canvass this year should turn upon the
questions of economy in the public ex-
penditures, and change in the law
under which they are made. No man
who has not exhibited some financial
ability and a disposition to economize
IN the management of his own
affairs, should be entrusted with
public business. in the selection of
members to the Legislature such quail
ifications should especially be sought
for. The exhibition of sound judg-
ment and a prudent foresight in his
own matters is a sure guarantee of
fidelity to other interests with which
he may be charged. The standard of
qualification for the Office of legislator
has been too low We must elevate it.
The Office must seek the man, no It
the man the Office. The people must
protect themselves. Their fate Is In
their own hands. Let them give the
cold shoulder to every aspirant for leg
islative hOnors who has not the requi-
site qualifications

probability Of the fatal effect of ones
death upon the other. The idea of sep
arating them by a surgical operation
had been often broached, but physicians
had generally agreed that it would kill
them. Therefore each was haunted
with a dread of being left bound to his
dead brother, with almost a certainty
of dying under any attempt to sever
him from the corpse. While IN Paris
and London, they consulted the mOs5
eminent surgeons. One experiment,
however, dashed all hope of separate
existence. The hgatUre was compres sci
until all circulation Of blood between
them was stopped. Eng soon tainted.
and a removal of the compress was ne
cessary to prevent death. This provel
that neither could sustain a separate
circulation Of the blood, and to hav5
cut the Ggature would have killed both.
With this knowledge, they returned tJ
their homes and lived as they had dOn5
before. Later the health of Eng grew
worse, and Chang was frequently
obliged, although well himself, to keeo
to his bed with his sick brother. But
about a year ago Chang suffered par
alytic stroke, from which time his health
was the worse Of the two. He took 10
drink as a relief from suffering, and the
lives of the twins grew wretched indeed
The details of their death are meagre-
Chang died first, and few moments
afterward Eng, who had for few days
been well, became deGriOus and Tayed
wildly. This may have resulted from
the mental shock and apprehension as
to his own fate; but more likely it was
the result Of a cessation of blood circu-
lation between him and his brother. A
stupOr followed, and he died two hours
afterward

agree very well, and the strangely tied
families quarreled so seriously that the
sisters frequently had periods Of COM
plete cstrangement, lasting for weeks
at "a time.
DOMESTIC INFELICITY.
So. although Chang and Eng were
rich. they did not live happily. Mrs
Chang had the first child, and it was a
deaf mute. The families increased rap
idly, until Chang had six children and
Eng five. OF these children four never
heard nor spoke, although in all other
respects all were strong and not de-
formed. Eight are living, the oldest,
daughter of seventeen, having lately
been married to the lessee of a neigh
boring plantation. About eight years
AGO Chang became converted IN reh-
eious revival, and Eng also embracing
the belief, they joined the Baptist
church. They were regular IN their at
tendance thereafter, and retained their
standing as good christians. Their
tempers, however, were not improved
bv the spiritual change, and before the
emancipation their slaves were the most
whipped of any in the region. The re-
beIliOn freed their slaves and otherwise
seriously impaired their wealth. To
repair their losses they again exhibited
themselves through the country, andat
Woods Museum IN this city; but they
were only moderately successful, owing
partially to raPacIty which
prevented managers from hav-
ipa, auvthing 20 do with them. A great
or curiosity in their line had sprung up
too. in the O-headed girl-two' negro
children from South Carohna-who are
ioined at the hips, and who are on ex-
bibition in Paris. Chang and Eng had
crown ugiier as they had grown oder,
fbe latter especially being wrinkled,
thin. and bent. Their tempers were
soured. and they quarrelled with each
other constantly. They had gained
greatly in intelligence, however, and
we're more sensitive to the gaze OF the
crowd At'the Revere House, where
they boarded, they received a lew vlsl-
tors. to whom they complained OF the
necessity which had driven them back
into show life. They also retained
strong secession procliyIties. During
their absence their wives managed the
plantations. Those Of thechildren who
were not deaf mutes were sent TO school,
and are now well educated. Before
their last exhibition here the twins had
been again III Europe.
A-CERTAINTY OF UNION IN DEATH
The cause Of their mOroseness they
grew older is believed to have been the

NASHVILLE. TENN, SATURDAY, JANUARY a. 1874

from and after June 80, 1874, transportation
in the mails of all bound books, seeds, cut
tings, bulbs, and general merchandise,
should be discontinued.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen said he doubted that
the Postmaster General desired the passage
OF that amendment. Some means should
be furnished for sending books throughout
the Country, and he had been told by the
Postmaster General, within a few days past,
that he intended to reduce the postage on
books.
Mr.. Ramsey appealed to the gentleman
from California (Sargent) to withdraw his
amendment. 1t had always been the prac-
tice of the Senate not to put general legls-
lation in the postal route bill, and he hoped
the amendment would be Offered at some
other time.
Mr.. Sargent said he would withdraw the
amendment though he had been assured by
the Postmaster General that its passage
would be acceptable to him. The amend
ment was withdrawn.
Mr.. Pratt offered an amendment that no
Office should be established on any route
named in the bill until after such authority
be given by Congress. Rejected.
The bill was then passed.
Mr.. Pratt offered resolution which was
agreed to,that the Committee on Postofflces
and Postroads to enquire whether just
construction of the constitution does not
require that all postoffices should either be
established by Congress, or that its consent
be given after they have been established
by the Postmaster-General.
The Senate went into Executive session,
and soon after adjourned.

THE NEXT GOVERNOR.
The Duty Democrats Owe to Them
selves and to tire People.


From the WaYerly journal, Jan. %.
The Gubernatorial question is again
exciting some feeling and interest
Two gentlemen from West Tennessee,
Ir. Kerr, of Shelby, and Judge Alex
sander Campbell. Of Madison, are prom
inently mentioned as candidates. The
former, We understand, is now actively
engaged IN creating a popular feeling
IN his behalf. By the Memphis papers
he is SAID to be clever, honest, enter
prising citizen, and doubtless, if elect
ed, would make us very good Cover
nor. Judge Campbell is also highly
spoken of as :; gentleman of great
worth and acknowledged ability
West Tennessee claims the hon
or of furnishing the next Gov
ernor, and Middle and East
Tennessee do not seem inclined to Sc
riOusly contest the claim. 1t is q mat
ter to us Of no vital consequence or i'm
pOrtance from what portion Of the
State our Governor comes; nor do we
think 1t ought to be made a ques-
ton or issue in the election. For the
sake of peace and harmony in the Dem
ocratic party, let US have no divisions
or qUbblings IN regard TO men or sec
tional claims. Now Is the time when
every sacrifice, consistent with princi-
pie, sLould be made for the common
WEI and the public good. What Wa
Iced now above all things is the Oh
servance and enforcement OF principle,
and not the preferment of any Particu-
lar man or section. We have a host Of
men, all over Tennessee, well qualified
t. discharge the duties Of Governor. In
makIngOu selection Of a standard bear
er, we should be careful to select that
man who can combine and concentrate
In one harmonious whole, all the polit
ical elements opposed to the teachings,
the practices and principles Of the
Radical party. To insure success to
our party, we must have no divisions,
outside the Radical party, in the COM
ing election. Division IN our party,
two years ago, resulted IN the election
of a Radical representation to Con-
gress, from Tennessee, when our ma
jority ought to have been overwhelm-
ing. Coz. Brown was reelected by a
very inconsiderable majority, although
his competitor was comparatively a
weak man. In this contest the Radi-
cal party viii put forward its best ma
terial, and the concentration Of all OPP
position elements viii be necessary to
insure our success. Shall We repeat the
folly of two years ago: Or shall we
rather gather wisdom from the bitter
experience of the past, and instead Of
clamoring for this section. or that, Sc
lect a worthy representative of the liv
ing. vital issues of the present, and
unite upon him our undivided support:

NEW YORK. Jan. 23.-AdviceS by mail

A COMPLICATED case has made its
way up to the Supreme Court of Mass
sachusetts. NJ. Perkins, a tardy trav-
eler, wanted to catch train that was
starting out of Boston sooner than
suited his leisurely convenience. He
offered Mr.. Gage, a hackman, two dol
lars to get him to the depot in time.
Mr.. Gage did it, but in doing 80 drove
faster than the ordinance allowed, and
was arrested. He argued that the o.
casion and the extra compensation cont
dOned his fault, whereupon he was
also prosecuted for taking more thal
the regular fare. Competent counsel
have fought his case to the cost of 81
000, and now the final decision is that
he must pay the fines originally i'm
posed for charging an extortiOnate fare
and fast driving.
