say to him that he, and all about him, has

Old Capitol prison during the war on 8

SO THE majority of the Judiciary Com
mittee of the House has determined to
trample in the dust the personal rights OF
the people to-day. We predict that every
man who votes to-day to sustain that ma
iority will be consigned to oblivion by his
constituents next fall. The habeGs corpus
must be obeyed. Let us have the yeas and
nays on the order. and we will keep them
before the people until the names are ia
miliar as Household words.

REDUCTION OF CONFIRMATION,

We have maintained that In equity, and
upon, the back pay principle. which Con-

is due the faithful and laborious clerks for
work done during and since the war with

support Of this we submit the following

When the legions Of Don Alfonso returned
in triumphant splendor to the Capital of Spain
the Madrid Government exclaimed, "to these
defenders of Espanola, we will give the glory
Of the conquest of Cuba" Fifty thous sand
of these weather-beaten and victory-fushed
dragons were to be launched on the beautiful
isle of the sea, and with one fell swoop sweep
away every vestige of instruction. What Of
this promise have they fulfilled. A few hun
dred volunteers, paltry substitutes for dis
ciplined warriors, and the scum of the low
classes in Espanola were sent to pounce upon
the patriots, ami by their brutality and merci-
lessness advance the dawn of peace on the
island far away In the future. Every nation
onthe face of the earth, whose commercial in
terests are worth having, should at once de-
mand cessation of this sanguirary and
wretched conflict. Humanity demands, the
cumstances surrounding the matter in every
particular justifies the demand.
1t seems but yesterday that Stewart was
the weaithiest man in the world. Thousands
moved at his bidding. Ponderous mills and
great railways were under his sway. Great
ness eourted him. Refinement and cultivation
sought his presence. Men looked upon him
as a marvel of intellectual energy and bust
ness adroitness. He was the feigning prince
Of commerce. To-day we find him shutting
up that bourne from whence no wayfsrer
comes back, without a cent in his pocket.
he has gone where the woodbine creeps in its
growing greenness. He knocks.at the pearly
gates in the beautiful city worn and weary
beggar. He is tapping at the haven of
rest. Thus 1t is with all of us. To-day
we are, tomorrow we may not be.
One minute we are drawing the breath of life
with comparative ease and relish; the next
minute a streak of fractions lightning, an
unduly disturbed glycerine can, an exploded
non-explosiye oil-lamp, or light-heeled mule
may change all, and compel US to cross over
the river without a seconds preparation for
the trip. These are strange and rapid times.
Men must watch and be ready. Men must be
careful about being strangled with well-but-
tered hairs. ... .... .-..--..

rusty latch, and noiselessly opened the
door. The first object that met his
gaze was his own son standing at Q
table, with one baud clutched in
the hair of head he had just severed from
body, and which he was holding aloft to the
admiring gaze of HIS companions. One short
glance, and as quick as shadow the old man
slammed to the door, rushed pell nell into
the street, tore around half dozen blocks,
jumped on the first street-car, stumbled over
market basket and fell into the opposite corner,
painting and shivering like an aspen. Two
hours later colored messenger arrived at the
dissecting room with the following note ad-
dressed to old Mix's son: 81 rz.
Z CHARLEY: For Moses sake, let the dead bury
the dead wash your hands, and come home
at once. You may peddle peanuts or sell fish,
but you can't saw up corpses and be John
Mix's son at one and the same time. Vamose
the ranch of death, and fly to the bosom of
your family. j. MIX, Your rather.
When the colored messenger opened the
door to present the note he tainted at the first
view of the interior of the room, and as two
or three of the boys carried him out, the rest
sang:

Saw my leg off;
Saw my leg OIL

Failures in 1870.

The completed list of commercial failures
for 1875 just published, exhibits the destruc-
tive effects of the dry rot that has ravaged the
business world siace 1873, more clearly than
anything else could exhibit it. The total
number of failures in the United States was
774O, as .nst $3.50 in 1874; and the amounts
failed tor were, in he aggregate, S2Ol O60, 253,
as against $l55, 239, O0O in 1874.
The largest amount failed for is contributed
by New York city, S49 5000; next comes
Massachusetts,, sd, 494,O 600; Pennsylvania,
SIS, 247, 900; New York State, Sl1, 1920 600;
Maryland SO, 900; Illinois, SS,2lS, 900;
Ohio, 1898, geo; Rhode Islaad, 62Sl 600;
Georgia, So, 1873, 900; California, So, 2Sl, coo;
Michigan, 81, l23,0 900; Missouri. S3,74S, 900;
Kentucky. 50, $50, 600; the two Virginias, 3d.
296, 600; Connecticut, S2,S5l, 900; louisiana,
S2,937,OGO.
The failures for the last five years have
been: 1871, $50 252. 600; 1872, Sl2l ,05G, 900;
1873, 1929, 4S9, 900; 1874, S155, 239 600; 1875,
S2Ol $50 ,OO0-the total being S79l 900, 600
If it be estimated that these insovencies paid
an average Of 80 per cent to the creditors,
there would still be 1854, 900, 900 of losses that
have fallen on the commercial world in the
last five wears, sum equal to three fourtbs
the annual increase Of wealth in tie country.

BUNKO ON THE CARS.
An Old Citizen Fleeced of $500.

Thursday morning 8 train on the Mobile road
brought to this city two happy individuals
who had successfully courted the Dame For
tune through the instrumentality Of three
card monte.
1t seems that after leaving Pass Christian
they inveigled well known old gentleman
into the seductive delights of a quiet little
game. Although he saw through it, the $500
these ropers captured is strong evidence to
the contrary.
As station after station was passed the old
gentleman gained clearer insight into the
game, and by the time Canal street was
reached, notwithstanding his little invest
ment, he felt assured that he could start out
in the business himself.
Enough has been written and published in
the journals of this city to warn travellers
against the vilianies Of these men, and it seems
more than passing strange that people con-
tinue to be duped SO successfully.
