The BUSINESS ARGUMENT.

1t is useless to look for sediments of
high-toned philanthropy among the peo-
Pile of the Southern States But among
them, as among all members of the An
glo Saxon race, we find a high regard
for material interests. There is proba-
bly, no Characteristic of the members of
this race that gives them. more force
than their love of trade. THIS can be
traced in all their history This is what
the Anglo-Saxo copquers by AMI for
No spot can be found on the face of the
habitable earth where they have not
smuggled their goods and merchandise.
Wherever British fort can be found
the haunt of the smuggler can be found
near If, and protected by those forts.
Gibraltar, with its battlements and gar
risOn, is little better than smuggling
port for the protection of the English
traders. and giving them an advantage
over the weaker people of that neigh
borhood. This love of trade and mate
rial prosperity is one of the stronges
motives for the maintenance of friendly
relations with other peenle Treaties I
of saaaa- rssiA ,aay ,,u..
posdr The Independence of goyernments !
has Been acknowledged for no other rea-
son. Such relations may be maintained |
in this way without necessarily denying
the existence of the philanthropic mo-
tive. The actions of men do not usually
spring from one motive alone We are
governed by the concurrence and COM
bination of different motives, some of
which are less easily traced than Others,
but still there Is always q combination.
1t is great mistake, as Bishop Butler
has shown, To suppose that men are gov !
erned by only one motive. The restora
tion of friendly relations between the
two sections OF this country at the close
of the war, WAS brought about by means
Of the business argument, more prGba> |
bly, than by any other And we have
hope thai the Southern. people will be 4
led by this motive to treat all citizens
with fairness and tolerance. There can |
be no prosperity until such relations be-
tween people Of all colors and all poll 4
teal views are. established. ,.-.:...

The Jersey City Journal criticises
Miss Anna Dickinson's recent lecture on
the "Soclal Eyir' as follows
She made an assertion which shows
that she either does not know as much
about the subject as she should before
attempting TO publicly discuss If, or she
was Intentionally unjust. She repre-
sented The young men of modern society
as deliberately plotting assailants OF fe-
male virtue, as going about with the
purpose of iibertinism uppermost in their
intentions. This we believe 10 te gross
libel upon the average young msn Of so
eiety, and we should like 70 know on
what facts or observations Miss Dickin-
son bases so serious charge. If true,
the young men of our day are not fit as
sociates for women # false, then Miss
Dickinson is guilty OF O gross and gratu-
itous libel on the male sex Does she
affect to believe that for seduction and
1ieeDtiousness the men are solely 10

with satisfaction by all the good people
of the town, as it was thought 1t would
check the prevailing dissipation. Near
The close of the meeting, however, a
prominent citizen brought their case be-
fore the meeting as matter of CON-
passionate consideration. Another gen.
tleman thought as ''they were the back
hone of the county," their fines should
be remitted, and made motion to that
effect, which was seconded by one of
the culprits themselves. The motion
was carried by ten majority, and the re-
suit was announced amidst deafening
cheers from every rowdy In the meetings
The next Sabbath part of these thus
favored celebrated their victory by an.
other drunken spree.
The motive of those supporting the
motion may have been compassion, but
10 us such compassion appears 10 be a
mawkisk kind of sensibility. Weshap-

is ordinarily very quiet and law-abiding.
The parties engaged in 1t generally fully
deserved the penalty inflicted. We say
generally, because we have understood
thai the guilt Of few was more owing
TO being caught in bad company than
any evil intent but still that is no rea-
son why the law should be thus practical

. Indep pendent.,'

We take the following from Mr., John
Gains letter to the Aagsts and Patriot !,
:. Although it .is.s proud satisfaction to
every American citizen, whether native
or naturaiized, to know that freedom of
speech and Of the press is still not only
tolerated in this great Republic, but
that 1t is by law protected !; yet our
Democratic friends in Vermont ought to
take a lesson from New Hampshire and
not allow. themselves to be deceived by
newspapers that profess to be "neutral." !"
independent" or agricultural papers.
The fact. is that wolves. sometimes APP
.proach ia sleeps clothing, and under
saeh a. guise are very dangerous. Give
me the real full grown live wolf or. bear,
and / viii either run or prepare to fight;
so IT Is with newspapers. Every man
.ought to take a Democratic and a Re-
publican paper, and inform himself as
to which. party he prefers to abide with
and support: IF a. Democrat cannot. at
ford to take two: papers, he should either
take an out-and-out Democratic paper
or a real true blue Republican journal,
such' Tor instance, as the Rutland HER.
AID, and then he will all the time be
prepared to meet the live wolf !. while,
the Rutland Globe; on the contrary, is q
decoy duck, q wolf in Sleeps clothing,
and ought, to- be given a wide berth by
Democrats who take but one paper. My
own advice to every Democrat in Yer

mont is to subscribe and pay for the

where they are. A continual dropping
of water will wear away stone, and the
political teachings of the Globe, which
blows hot and cold, on one side of the

The Pfnchhack debate has demon
strated one thing. If nothing else has
been ACCOMPLISHED during the two years
and more that il. has been an almost con-
'stant subject Of discnssion-tha is; that
the greater weight of legal ability is on.
the Republican side of the Senate.
There. are, of. course some able lawyers
among the Democrats. Mr. Thurman
is. very clear and pdinted in his~argu-
ments. and singulariY sound on, eaes-

reasoner. Mr. Whyte showed himself
by hrs speech on Saturday to be a very
strong lawyer Bat the great speeches
la which the law of the Pinchbaei5 case
has been treated were those of Mr.. Car
