PerilOus Bee Hiying.

One day lay last week swarm of bees
settled in the top Of large poplar tree
on the farm Of Mr.. Van Boston, in An
derson county. The tree was without a
limb for the distance Of one hundred
and sixty seven feet. Mr.. Leathers de-
string to secure the bees, and the owner
OF the tree not wishing it cut, conceived
the idea OF climbing the tree, and sue
cessfully carried it out. To effect his
daring purpose he used an anger and
pins, inserting the first pin four feet
from the ground, and the others three
feet part, until the bees were reached
and secured. There were thirty-seven
pms two feet long, which remain in the
tree as an evidence of the bold adven-
ture. Frankfort (Ky.) Woman.

Divine Justice

Master, If there be doom,
ALI men are bereaven
1t in the universe,
One soul receives the curse,
Alas for heaven
Ii there be doom for one.
Thou, Master, ait undone.
Were I a soul in heaven
Afar from pain.
Yea, on thy breast of snow,
At the cry of one below
should cry again.
Art Thou less piteous than
The conception of man?

His bushy whiskers were auburn, and
the habit of command gave a dignity

The GELD Speculation In Wall street.
The price Of gold il carried up by the
manipulations Of a clique of spectators
OF the market. Nothing is more certain than
that it cannot be maintained for any length of
time. 1t is like speculation in grain during
the brief interval between the assured GER
tainty OF great crop and the ability to har-
vest it, thresh it and bring it to market
Within the ensuing three or four months the
American market will be flooded with gold.
The Treasury will pay out at least forty mill
ions more than it will collect for duties.
Thirty clear millions will be paid for the
called bonds before the LIST of June, and the
May interest and the July interest on the
national debt will make large addition to
the gold supply
This certainty of q redundant supply Of
gold within the next few months is one of the
chief elements of which the clique of tricksters
avail themselves for carrying up the price. 1t
is guarantee that no gold will be imported
from foreign countries to check their specula-
tion- An excessive premium will not induce
foreigners to send gold to this market in face
of the certainty that thirty or forty millions
are soon to be poured out of the national
Treasury. Before the gold could cross the
ocean the price might be broken by payments
of the called bonds.
The gold market is temporarily in state of
great uncertainty, because nobody can cal
culate when the called bonds will be pre-
sented for payment The Treasury offers to
pay them at any time, with the accrued
proportion of them may be offered before the
expiration of the three months. Foreigners
are as ignorant on this point as we are, and
their ignorance, which forbids them to send
gold to this market. however tempting
the price, is the main security of our clique Of
spectators. Having nothing to fear from
importations of gold when they carry up the
price, they can proceed with boldness and
safety until the called bonds begin to be pre-
sented to the Treasury for payment. As soon
as this process begins the speculation will ex-
plode and collapse, and the clique will hasten
the crisis if they carry the premium much
higher than it is at present, which would in
duce the holders of called bonds to get their
gold at once in order to profit by the extrava-
CANT price. But, although the present specu-
lation will necessarily DO a short-lived affair,
it works great deal of mischief while it lasts.
Merchants whose importations for the spring
trade are just arriving, or who wish to take
goods out of bond for spring sale and must
have gold to pay the duties, are seriously in
jured. The spectators are obstructing the
revival of trade and we hope they may be
soon broken down by large presentations of
the called bonds for payment.

The EXECUTIONS YEsrERDAY.-A man who
resembled the traditional bandit of the novel
and the stage more than he did the ordinary
American criminal was hanged yesterday in
San Jose, to the general relief of the COM
munity he had so long plundered and
menaced This was Tiburcio Vasquez,
robber and murderer of the ancient type, who
was to California what Fra Diavoo was to
Italy, who, it is said, certainly killed eight
persons, and probably killed many others,
and whose robberies it would be difficult to
record. He was the terror of Southern Cali
fornia, and was leagued with other desperate
men as wicked but not as intelligent as him.
self. OF his crimes and the long war he
waged with society we give an interesting de-
scr1ption elsewhere, with special account of
his execution. He died bravely, as such men
generally do, and protested his innocence of
murder TO the last, although the evidence of
bis guilt convincing. We also give report
of the execution of Forks, the murderer of
the Herndon family.

Despite NE Foacz and disastrous e6ect Of
tho recent freshets in the Delaware and
Susquehanna rivers the danger Of further
misfortune to the people living neal
their banks is far from having passed
away. In other columns accounts will b.
found of the flooding Of Port Deposit, Balm
bridge and Marietta yesterday. Ice gorgei
have formed along the full length of thu
streams which, when o warmer temperature
shall exist, will inevitably give way and il
is feared will deal direr destruction on either
hand than we have yet recorded. Tho
weather prophecies which we give this
morning, from the usual official source,
strengthen and add an alarming reality to this
view, and it can only be hoped that precau.
ton, actuated by experience and premonition,
will secure at least the immunity of human
life from the further ravages of the freshets.
The TALKED-oF STRIKE on the Third avenue
road has not taken place, which is good
news for the public who use that important
line. 1t would be too bad if. after we have
just got rid of the snow blockade, the cars
should be stopped by the drivers. The ques.
ton of pay is, unfortunately for the poor men,
one that ''soulless corporations view only
from the side of labor supply and demand.
A CORRESPONDENT calls attention to tho
fact that General Grants term of Office will
expire on Sunday, and inquiries who will be
President in the interval of one day before
his successor can be sworn in. We answer
that the same contingency has happened be-
fore, and that the outgoing President has
always been recognized as in Office until the
new President was qualified. In great
crisis which rendered the lapse of single day
important the new President might be sworn
in on Sunday. There is nothing to prevent
this either in the constitution or the pro.
visions Of any federal statute. 1t is mere
matter of convenience and decorum that the
oath of President whose term begins on q
Sunday defers taking the oath until the fol-
lowing day.

General Butler on tho Civil Rights
Bill.

The letter Of General Butler to Mr. Robert
Harlan, Of Cincinnati, which We give to the
public to-day, is, like everything THAT the cele-
brated statesman says, clear and to the point
1t is candid exposition of the Civil Rights
bill by one of its strongest supporters, and is
important as definition of the real purpose
and scope of that much abused and generally
misunderstood measure. The law passed by
Congress does no more in General Buffers
opinion, than to confirm the rights already
possessed by the colored man at common
law, but denied to him because of the preju-
dices existing against his race. He shows
that the rights of colored citizens are not in
creased by the act of Congress, but that it
has simply given them greater power to en-
force them when they are denied. Special
penalties are affixed to the violation of COM
mon rights, and United States courts are
clothed with the authority to compel obedi-
ence to the common law.
But the enactment does not confer upon the
colored man the right to interfere with any
business which is private in Its nature, so far
as the person engaged in it has the option of
selling or refusing his goods or his labor to
applicants As we cannot compel merchant
to sell wheat or wool when he prefers to keep
his merchandise, so we cannot compel
clearinghouse keeper to take unwelcome
boarders nor barber to shave people he
does not wish TO shave, nor tavern keeper to
sell drinks to improbable customers. What
General Butler says upon this latter point is
perhaps little too severe in its morality, but
an excess of that kind can easily be pardoned
in one who is inexperienced in ethical teach
ings. His letter has the great value that it
explains the limited scope Of the Civil Rights
act to the race which is in danger of misu1-
Outstanding it, and his advice to colored men
not to attempt to use the new law as pre-
tence to interfere with the private business of
private parties is SO sensible that we trust it
will be generally needed

grounds.
We cannot withhold from Governor Tilden
the just praise of sagacity in discerning the
policy. He recommends that no further ex-
penss be wasted ON the worthless lateral
canals for keeping them in repair. But he
does not stop here. He proposes to give the
whole system of canal man sgement thorough
overhauling, which no intelligent man can
doubt that it greatly needs The canal inter-
est is altogether the most important of any
which is placed under the supervision of the
State government, and it is the one which,
above all others, concerns the welfare and
prosperity Of this city, which is so vitality
interested in cheap communication with the
West
This Message, in its animus and intent, is
a vigorous attack on what is known as the
Canal Ring, the most powerful and, since the
fall of Tweed, the most corrupt combination
in the State. 1t is of much older standing
than the Tweed Ring, which was mushroom
growth, and its opportunities of plumber are
greater in proportion as the amount of money
spent on the canals is greater than
the expenditures on the Harlem Bridge and
the new Court House, which were the pet jobs
of the city Ring. We rejoice that Governor
Tilden has taken this business in hand,
although there is reason to fear that the 20
tent influence Of the Canal Ring in the Legis-
lature may thwart him. When his Message
had been read in the Assembly yesterday a
motion was made to lay it on the table, which
was a mark of dIsrespect In a confused viud
uoce vote the Speaker declared that the yeas
had carried it, in manifest contradiction to
the preponderance of voices but count was
called for, which put the Speaker and his
Canal Ring adherents to shame. But this
treatment of tbs Message is nevertheless an
indication of the vigorous opposition which
the Governors recommendations will en-
an animated contest and it is the duty of
every honest citizen to give his moral support
to the Governor.
The Canal Ring, as the Governor shows in
his Message, is corrupt conspiracy, which
doubles, trebles, and sometimes quadruples,
LILO CAP0uoC Va oil WOIA 0On0 VI tA0 Cdudl6 ny
crafty and deceitful bids and other dishonest
articles for swindling the State treasury out
of money which goes into their own pockets.
The money thus dishonesty squandered is
one of the main obstacles to cheap transporta-
ton, in which the State, and especially the
city, has SO deep an interest. The Governors
policy is given in detail in his Message, an in
structive document, to which we refer our
readers Having shot this bomb into the
camp of the Canal Ring, he cannot avoid q
fierce contest, and it will be great feather in
his cap if he comes off victor. He deserves
and will receive the support and good wishes
of all the honest men of the State in this at
tempt to cut up old and deeply rooted abuses
which have long been the most formidable OBJ
struction to cheap freights during the season
of navigation.
