The Rebellion Not Yet Knded.

ideas which gave it birth exist with I'm.

mosities and prejndices which produced the
war, but only the martial array which
lnade it terrible and bloody. From neces.
slty, not from choice, was the sword
sheathed. Peace is still fugitive from the
South, The campaign Of the armies has
teen succeeded by the campaign of domes-
iis violence. The rebellion has not ceased,
ont has merely been transferred from the

inais tho hearts Of the Southern people
today as completely as when Beauregards
batteries encOmpassed Fort Sumter. The
echoes of all this animosity and malignity
have been heard in the grOans of the butch

parish, and in the agonzing supplications
Tor mercy which come from the outraged
negroes on tho "bloody ground" of Ala

North in the loud imprecations upon I'M
partial suffrage which issue from the White
League membership, and quicken the pub

He who believes that the natreds and the
prejudices OF section, fOstered by two gen.
erations of education, have been eradicated
by four years OF gunpOwder, has a shallow
understanding OF the teachings of history.
and a very trivial comprehension of the
deep.sea:ed causes that led 10 the civil con.
fiict. When the arbitrament of the sword
Is appealed to, by the voluntary and de.
iiberate act OF masses in community. for
the setlll ment of differences, the impelling
motives anu the animating feelings must be
of the strongest description. Such were
&he. fierce passions that ri0ted in prOdigal
extravaganza when yindictivenesS toward
Union men was applauded as a virtue. and
when starvation and the systematic intro.
siuctiOn OF infectious diseases into the ter.
sitory of the enemy were recognized as
legitimate auXilaries of victory. Natures

soon ss possible physician and officers we're on
the spot. In the meantime Libbey, the hired man,
! had appeared at the honse Of Mr. Langworthys
brother, his face covered with blood, asking for
holp, in state Of great excitement His story
is that he and Irving we're sitting in the kitchen,
reading. Cortland having gone to bed; that he
heard dog gtowl, aud instantly saw club fall
on Irving g head that almost simultaneously he
WAS struck and rendered unconscious, and that
as soon as be recovered, he ran out for assist
anco. His manner WAS confused, and some
t1i1ing discrepancies in bis statement awakened
auspicion against him. He was arrested, jury
of inquest was at once summoned, but elected
only the above facts, and adjourned for week.
The murder, or murders, for it is next to impos-
Hiblo for Cortland to recover, we're committed
with heavy, blunt-odged weapon, which has
not yet been found There WAS, SO far as is
known, no il-feeling between Libbey and the
brothers.
The appearance Of tho kitchen justifes the
belief that there was no dispute below, and the
elder brother was unquestionably asleep when
he waa struck. But, on tho other hand, nothing
Of value was taken from the house, and it seems
impossible that the crime should hayo becu the
work Of thieves. Though the wallis OF tho rooms
upstairs wore spattered With blood, there was
mono on Libbey's clothing when he was arrested,
except from his own wounds, which are slight.
He is native Of Lewiston, Me.. and WAS DIS
charged from the navy last fall, when he came
hero. The country is being searched for sus-
picious characters, but thus fur with no success.

Attoxney-Gcnerni Edsall's Opinion
Concerning their Publication.
Special DisnatcA 10 The Chicago Tribune.
spnIsor1EI4D, H.. April 23.-Attorney-Gen-
era Edsall has replied to Secretary Aa1low's in-
quiries regarding the publication Of the laws.
Ae decides that there is M apparent conflict be-
tween the laws Of 1865 and 1874, so that if tie
Secretary Of State were to prepare for pubca-
ton the acts Of the last General Assembly, aud
shall fail to complete the publication before tho
LIST of July, it would be labor and material lost,
as the act would then come in and put a stop to
the work. He further holds that if these laws
can be reconci1ed and save useless expense, all
wlQ concur that that course is the best. He is
therefore OF the opinion that the compilation Of
the acts: which IS now going on under the SUPER
vlaion Of Il. B. Hnrd III substantial compliance
with the law of 1865, and that By the time tho
acts are complied and ready for publication, tho
1st Of July will have arrived and the act Of 1874
viii end al the difficulty. His opinion is quite
lengthy, but. in short, he decides that tho Sec
retary should not publish the edition required
under the law OF 1865.
