THE PRINCETON CANNON WAR

Peace hath her victories no less re-
nowned than war;" and now the recently
"embattled' students of Princeton and Rut-
gers colleges have ''dispersed" to their rooms,
and are laudably engaged In trying TO fight an
idea or two into their heads concerning books.
The "speck Of war; which day or two since
darkened the horizon of New Jersey had a
most threatening aspect, and at one time it
was not improbable that terrible contest Of
arms would be the result, and that the "Spain
of America" would be drenched with fraternal
blood. When the excitement was as its
height, when the students were arming, and
the campus of each college resounding 10 the
heavy tramp Of the armed hosts, "Peace
Congress" was suggested, and two of the most
smiable and discreet officers Of each college
were selected and Instructed to exhaust all the
mildtr weapons Of warfare before recommend
ing "the last argument of Kings" the dread
arbitrament Of arms. And so, after an investi-
cation, the conclusion was reached that the
cannon captured by the Rutgers college from
the College of New Jersey, on the night of the
26thyof April last, and planted in the campus
October 16, 1853, was the lawful property of
the latter college and must b! returned. The

IN TEXAS there are few judicial officers
who were appointed by Gov. Davis, and
whose removal Democratic Governor Coke
is DESTROYS Of procuring, because he would
like TO fill their places with creatures of his
own kidney. The plan adopted to secure
this result has proved efficacious in one in
stance-Judge ]. N. Everitt having re-
signed because the authorities refused to
pay him any salary, and he was literally
starved out. Yet the Texas Democrats
propose to hold a State constitutional con-
Vention, the expenses of which ill not be
less than half million dollars This kind
of Democratic reform begins to be irksome
to those directly interested, and we notice
that the Opposition press of the North does
not have SO much to say about it as it does
of the sO-called carpet-bag State govern
ments. The comparison between Republi-
can rule in South Carolina and Democratic
rule in Texas is not altogether satisfactory
to the Independents. The San Antonio
Ezpress treats the subject as follows:
And vet we are to be treated to reactionary
convention to cost a half million of dollars.
while every dollar that is paid by the people
to-day for the support of the State government
is absorbed by warrant spectators who con-
troll the treasury of the State. Debt, shame
and Reputation begin to stare the people in
the face, while all the wild, ambitious politi-
clans Of the Democratic party are anxious to
ride upon the crest of q revolutionary WAVE
that threatens only destruction.

American Iconoclasm,

From the San francisco Chronicle
Americans, in political matters, are the
greatest iconOclasts in the world. They love
to ido!ize their favorites and call them all the
pet names in the vocabulary. They elevate
them to the highest official dignities, at will,
as often without a reason as with one, and
shout their praises without stint. One would
think, during one of our political campaigns,
that great men were never heard of before so
greatly do the virtues and merits of the ey-
iSting candidates excel those of all men that
ever lived. We make our favorites, for the
time, into demigods, and are enthusiastic in
our devotion. They are Drawer, greater,
wiser, and more patriotic than any that have
gone before them. Everything decent that
they ever did is macnitied into something
great, and everything base that they NAV be
charged with is 'Vile opposition Iie" In
the general enthusiasm of the masses the
faults OF the candidates are forgotten, and the
most triiing, nay, even doubtful acts of
merit are extolled and magnified a million
fold. If Col. Richard NJ. johnson killed au
Indian he was the biggest Indian that ever
lived and johnson the bravest maR: and he
was given the Vice Presidency. If Harrison
commanded at Tippecanoe that was the great
est of all battles, and Harrison the greatest of
all generals, and his reward was the Presi-
dency. No matter about fitness in any one re-
specf. They are the popular idols of the
hour till others take their places. But the
popularity Of great man is ephemeraI, and
he is hardly warm in his seat before the wild
hurrahs that attended his sudden elevation are
turned into screams. The mob who have
screamed themselves hoarse in his praises no
sooner see him elevated above them than their
mean jealousy breaks forth. Gle is no bet
ter than We are" they cry; "We put him
where he is, and to show our power as well as
spite we will drag him down again." The
the Jealousy when he arrives into power Thus
the greatest men we have ever had, and who
would never have got into power had their
their pedestals as did the ancient statues of
of barbaric conquerors. No man ever vet has
as when he entered it. The very force Of char
acter which made him great has universally
provoked hostility, and returned him to private
life stripped of half the laurels he had worn
on the opening of his career. Indeed, in poll
tics no man can long escape the iconoclastic
spirit of the people, either in this country or in
England. Especially must a great general
avoid politics if he would preserve his hard
earned fame. Had Wellington never entered
Parliament he would have remained the idol
of the nation; as it was, his life was threatened
and his house mobbed. Had Grant, after
Lees surrender, refused the Presidency, the
heart of the whole nation would have bowed
down to him in reverence and gratitude, and
his laurels remained green forever. As il is,
he is the target for party calumnies and the
sport of the icOnoclastic folly of his country

II CALIFORNIA, under a recently en-
acted law, female teachers are ranked as
regards pay the same as male teachers.
This is as it should be. Why a woman
should receive less pay for doing the same
worl, than a man, passes our cOmpreLen-
sion 1t is true that from the days of De
borah and before that time, women have
been treated as interiors almost the world
over; but as in the case of Deborah, they
have often proved themselves to be mau s
superiofs. While the majority of those
who believe this to be true are wasting
their time endeavoring to procure the right
of "'suffer aye" for the downtrodden sex,
such practical relief as is to be found in this
California law is calculated to arouse a new
interest in proper methods for this substan-
tial advancement. All communications re-
garding the Rights of Our Sex that may
be prompted by this paragraph will re-
ceive prompt attention from the young man
who supervises our waste Paper-basket
contributions.

STRANGE as the names of the Indian
visitors to the Great Father may sound,
and diverse as their tribal interests NAV
be, it is certain they all belong to the Big
Heads. Impudent, arrogant and selEsatis-
fed, they assume TO be the superiors of
nearly ali the officials Of the Government
with whom they come in contact, and
barely condescend to treat the President
as if he were their equal. The immediate
influence which sustains and prompts them
in this course of action is to be found in
the fact that they have been pulled up
with ideas of selfimportance by designing
traders who are interested in preventing
the Government from opening up the res
ervations to settlement by white men. To
those who know the facts underlying the
desire of the Indians to change their quar-
tiers and the reasons why the Government
will not justify those desires, the unfayor
able criticisms Of the Opposition are some
what amusing. The details are too dis

WHAT DANA KNOWS ABOUT LYING

The Biblical command is, in fact, not Thou
shalt not kill but Thou shalt not commit muir
der, which is a very different thing. 1t carries
with it the right to prevent murder, which
you do when you kill in self-delense. The
other command, that Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy ne1ghbor, has its
foundation and its justification in the obliga-
ton of man to his fellow. He has no right to
do his fellcw-being wrong, as he does when he
lies about him, or lies so as to make It appear
that he and not the real liar Is the guilty
party. Herein consists the crime Of perjury,
which is one Of the most fatal in its results on
individual character, and its injury to others,
to which the devil tempts men. 1t is true
that the sin is in the injury done, but it is i'm
possible to separate the act from its conse-
quences. No one can perjure himself without
go injuring another-and that in the meanest
way-in order TO gain exemption from pun
ishment himself. If the truth would imperil
or destroy the reputation of the offender and
bring sorrow and distress to his family and
friends, that is no justification whatever for
perjury. The man by his offense, against
which these influences should haYe fortified
him, caused this ruin and sorrow, and not the
truth. The safety of society depends on hold
ing every man rigidly.t to the responsibility of
his acts.
Who would suppose the above to be an
extract from the New York Sun? 1t GER
tainly contains most remarkable sentiments
to emanate from the Ishmaelite of the
press, who makes it rule never to speak
well of his neighbors, and who resorts to
the meanest articles and subterfuges in
order to escape the consequences and ere.
sporsibilities' of his libels upon them.
The authorities of Pennsylvania and of the
District of Columbia have attempted to
hold him to that "rigid responsibility" upon
which he asserts the safety of society de-
pends," but he failed to appreciate such a
personal application of his own rule.

THE future historian of American poll
tics, if he relies upon the assertions of cur
rent newspaper statements regarding the
occurrences of the present period, will
have confused idea of things. For ex-
ample, the number of journals like the
New York Tribune, which pretends to
know that President Grant is a candidate
for Third Term, will give him an unau-
thorized idea of that question, while other
journals which pin their faith to Senator
Sargent's denial, will give him directly
contrary idea. This fact alone, showing
as it does the foremost responsibility which
rests upon the chroniclers of passing events,
should serve to keep them within the
bounds of truth and probability.
