What the South Must Do

The Philadelphia Times, q rabld
Democratic paper, after reciting the
facts as it believes them, in the MUIR
der and assassination of prisoners 10
Mississippi-noticed in the HERALD
last Weekdays:
One thing, however, is to be said
in reference to such disturbances OF
the peace, and il cannot be said too
plainly. The Democrats OF the South
have complained, and with reason,
that the disorders that have occurred
in that section are chargeable not to
them, because they have had no con-
troll of the machinery of government
for the maintenance of good order,
but to the carpet baggers who have
occupied the offices, and who have
found it profitable to foment disorder
and to abate the penalties OF crime.
They have said let us make and exc
cute the laws and there will be peace
in the South. 1t now happens that
every State south of the Potomac is
in the hands of the Democrats or Con-
servatives. They cannot complain,
therefore, if they are held to rigid ac-
countab,lity, not by the national gov.
eminent, but by that more powerful
tribunal, Public Opinion, for the man
ner in which their duty is performed
and their pledges fulfilled. Of course,
they cannot be expected to bring
order out of chaos in day, but the
more marked are their steps in this
direction the greater will be their
faith in their countrymen in their
honesty of purpose. The Governors
OF Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina and Georgia cannot always
prevent the preparation OF crime, but
they can make crime perilous and
odious by prompt trial of the GRIMM
ais and summary punishment On con.
viction. Governor Chamberlain failed
to bring Hamburg murderers to JUS
tice; Governor Hampton has the
opportunity, and it is his duty to do
what his predecessor neglected in this
regard. Governor Nichols has a
similar duty and opportunity in the
Weber case. And now we shall see
what the Governor of Mississippi will
do toward making the people of De
Kalb respect the majesty Of the law.
We repeat that the Democratic ad-
ministrations of the South are on trial
before the bar of public opinion; it is
for them tn show whether the conf
dence reposed in them is misplaced.
In saying this we lay down no rule
for one State or one section that does
not apply as well to every other State
or section. That the tree shall be
judged by its fruits is the maxim by
which administrations and parties as
well as individuals rise or fall.

Stock Gambling in California.

Ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Hugh McCullocb writes from San
Francisco to New York paper:
"Unless am greatly mistaken, there
are now nearly as many able-bodied
men vainly seeking employment.
and more whose business is 'specula-
tive in this city than there are in
any of our eastern cities of much
larger population except New York.

with men anxiously gazing at the
quotations of mining shares as they
appear in the windows of the stock
exchange; and in the city, where not

considered only fair compensation

spondej to by thousands of strong

Homage to Mr.. Washburne.

The following complimentary ref
ference to the services and charac-
ter of the Hon. E. B. Washburne,
Minister to France, are from the
Nurenberger PresSe, Germany of the
18th ult.:
We observe with satisfaction how
the leading Germans of the United
States appreciate the services of one
of the first of statesmen, e. B. Wash
burne, Minister to France, whose
valuable services were rendered to
our countrymen during the last war,
and particularly during the siege of
Paris. We hoped that the Repubi-
can party of the United States would
have had the prudence to have nom
mated Mr.. Washburne as the Presi-
Dental candidate. In that case we
should not have heard of divided
German vote. Washburne is not
only great statesman, but q friend
Of humanity.

A $50. 900 BANK NoTE-An ex-
affair happened about
the year 1740. One of the directors
OF the bank of England, a very rich
man. had occasion for 3O,OOO,
which he was to pay as the price OF
an estaue he had just bought. 10

sum with him to he bank, and oo'
tanned for it bank note. On Dis
return home, be was suddenly called
out on particular business. de
threw the note carelessly on the
mantle piece, but when he came
back few minutes afterwards to
lock it up, it was not to be found.
No one had entered the room, he
could not, therefore, suspect any per-
son. At last, after mnch ipetfectual
seasch, he was persuaded that 1t had
fallen from the mantel piece INTO the
fire. The director went to aequaint
his colleagues with the misfortune
that had happened to him; ana rs
be was known to be perfectly no.
norable man, he was readily believed.
1t was only about twenty-four hours
from the time he had deposited the
money; they thought therefore, that
it would be hard to refuse bis re-
quest for a second note. He recei-
we'd It upon giving an obligation to
restore the first note should lt ever
be found, or pay the money himself
if it should be presented by any
stranger. About thirty years after
wards 1.-THE director having been
long dead. and his heirs in possession
of his fortune), an unknown man pre-
sented the lost note at the bank and
demanded payment. 1t was in vain
that they mentioned to this person
the transaction by which that note
was annuIled, he would not listen to
it. He maintained that it had corae
to him from abroad, and insisted
upon immediate payment. The
note was payable to bearer, and the
e30. 900 were paid him. The heirs of
the director would not listen TO any
demands of restitution, and the bank
was obliged to sustain the loss. Ii
was discovered afterwards that an
architect having purchased the d.
rector's house, had taken it down in
order to build another on the same
spot, and had found the note in the
erevice OF the chimney, and made
