No RESPECT FOR THE LAW.-GEoRGE
F1TzHUGH, the sociologist, maintains in one
OF his books that written constitutions are
worthless, seeing that preiudiced or an
unduly-eXcited Legislature never pays any
attention to their provisions. The proceed
ings Of Congress during the recent "rebel-
lion" in this country must have convinced
every southern man that that body at least
had no more respect for the Constitution
than for one Of GEORGE HIS proclama-
tons, and violated it with as little compunc-
ton as it would have manifested in pocketlng
its own pay. But the war was ended eleven
years ago, and one would expect to lind
amongst northern men some evidence that
prejudice and passion have lost their sway.
But not SO. Shake the red rag OF rebellion
at any northern man, especially II ne he
Republican, and he instantly becomes blind.
The New York Tribune, whose blindnessin
the DAVENPORT case we had occasion 10
ooint ont, manifests the same failing In The
case of Senator MORTON, who, it is proved,
used for one purpose large sum OF money
which had been appropriated for another.
It was all right, says the Tribune. The cop
perheads OF Indiana would not furnish him
what he needed to assist in putting down
the rebellion, and therefore it was perfectly
proper for him and STANTON to use unlaw-
fully money which Congress had placed
where they could reach it.
Such evidences Of the state OF feeling in
the North towards the South arc not plea
SAINT; but this is q minor consideration COM
pared with the corruption OF the public
morals which is indicated by the 1ribune's
articles. The Tribune could offer exactly
the same arguments in justification OF Nor
TONS conduct if he had stolen the money.
And if he can be justified and DAVENPORT
can be justified for taking money by law set
aside for one purpose, and using it for q
purpose for which there was no law autho-
rizing its use, then they could just as easily
be justified if they were to steal money and
!, use it in good cause.

Tvhe Metro system.

The psa OF the metric systenn was made
lawful In this country by an act OF congress
passed several years ago. The act merely
above. does rot compel, its nse. The Bos-
ton Chamber Of Commerce come months
ago passed resolutions in favor OF making
its use compulsory by officials OF the United
States In all cases in which any system OF
weights and measures is needed by the
Government. And such, we suppose, was
the PRAYER OF the petition on this subject
which the Richmond Chamber OF Commerce
presented to the United States Senate last
Monday.
The metric system is beautiful in theory.
Our decimal currency furnishes us an exam
ple-that is, ten mills make one cent, ten cents
one dime, ten dimes one dollar. This last
system has been in use for very long time
in this country, and yet our people IN prac-
tice adhere to what seems to many minds TO
be more natural division OF pieces OF mo-
ney. We divide our dollar into halves and
quarters; and ii the Government would
coin such pieces, eighths would be as
popular as those coins. So it would
be. we imagine, with the metric sys-
TEN OF weights and measures il it
were adopted by Congress. 1t would
take constant use for many years to accus-
tom our people to dividing their cloth, or
their sugar, or their gas, into tenths. A
meter is about 39s inches. The sub-diyi-
sions OF this measure Of length are dcci-
meters, eentimeters, and millimeters. The
system goes up and down by tentbs. But
piece OF cloth is naturally folded into halves,
quarters, and so on; not into tenths. So OF
all other measures whether OF length or
weight. To us who are accustomed 10
quarter and half pounds, &c, and quarter
and half yards, &C., it would be awkward
to attempt to use the metric system. IL
comes into use more readily in the case OF
money than in the case OF anything else;
and yet it is hardly too much to say that we
have not yet become Thoroughly aceus-
toned to the decimal system OF currency.
The potent argument in favor OF the
metric system is that it is likely to be the
system OF the whole civilized world at some
time or other. The telegraph and the steam
engine have minificd our globe until 1t has
become very small affair. A man can
travel entirely around it in few months,
and he may send message to the antlpodes
in q few minutes. The tendency OF the
times seems to be to the reduction OF the
number OF separate governments in the
world. As intercourse becomes more COM
mon between the several countries, the de-
sire for common standard OF weights and
measures must increase; and this desire
will be strong enough to control the com
mercial world. The metric system IS said
10 be the simplest and best in use anywhere,
and for these reasons its use will probably
become universal. But not in day, by any
means.
