MORAL DECAY.

There is much truth in the follow
ing which we clip from an exchange
which says that one of the alarming
signs of the times is to be seen in the
fceblencss OF moral restraint. Bad
men are not afraid of the censurc Of
their neighbors when they commit
acts of injustice. which are not punish.
ed as crimes. In earlier times unprin.
ciplcd men were restrained to some
extent by the fear of eternal punish.
ment in future life; but this fear has
grown very weak, and il would seem
that none OF tho moralizing forces are
strengthening. In some respects our
civilization has produced wonderful
results; the means of information and
of mental culture have increased to q
most remarkable extent, but moral
improvement has not kept pace. With
all our advantages, we have not the
manly vlgor of our ancestors. and un.
less means be found TO check the ten.
dency to vice and degradation, the ut.
ter debasemcnt of the people is inevi'
table. 1t is not by severity of punish
ment that VIC can arrest the growth
of crime but we may establish insti.
tutions which will cultivate senti-
ment Of manly honor and detcstation
of all dishonesty. Would IL not be
better tor society to incur expense in
rcwarding what Is good for the com.
munity than to permit the depraved
and unworthy to prey upon the limo.

O. p. NORTON.

God might make worse man than
o. p. Morton, but lie never did. The
combination Of sycophancy, sin and
demagogism' has never been equaled
and cannot bo surpassed. He began
lie a Democrat, and all that he says
of that organization rs only the sort OF
Democrat be developed. lie Joined
the party Of progressive humanitarian
ideas when that party showed itself to
be in the ascendant, and his belief in
human progress is measured by ma
jorities at the ballot-box. He has no
faith in God, man, nor Morton. He
has ability enough to know, but not
pride enough to despise himself. He
is one Of those monstrosities created at
long intervals, for some unknown pur-
pose, that goes about torturing hu-
manity. A few more demons Of that
sort would make the human race, like
the devil-possessed swine, rush down
steep places and perish through gen.
eral suicide. Nature put warning
mark upon his countenance. Looking
upon it, scientists are settled with the
fear that, coming from the monkey,
we might yet, with all our brain, re.
turn to the brute. His jaw is that of
a bulldog; his mouth recalls the
scnlptured satyr of the Greeks when
the eager sensualism Of the goat was
made human; his nose is a muzzle,
while his eyes have the treacherous
glare Of beast OF prey. lie is one no
woman can love, no man can trust, no
child can reverence. His associates
arc thieves, his friends are dcmagogues,
his political support are negroes. He
Is n sycophant and flatterer without
being weak. lie has brains of unusual
power, that without culture is put to
lhe meanest uses. Possessed Of the
highest courage, he intrigucs with the
skill Of coward. When Grant was

A MAD CHIEF JUSTICE. -.Chicf Justice
Waite is mad because nobody in South
Carolina called on him and his family
The South Carolinians reply that they
stayed away because his Honor lodged
and consorted with Judge Bond. lie
is the Judge who enlarged the Return
ing Board whom the Supreme Court
had put in jail for contempt, and who
in bis decision, said that although there
was no law or precedent for what be
did, hc would make his rulings SO that
the State could take an appeal to tho
Supreme Court of the United States
where "his action, if unwisc, could be
corrected" The negro walters In the
Charleston hotels "kncw enough Ia
know" that Bond had no more author
ity to make that decision, which he
went and made on the request of"Zach''
Chandler and the Tines, than Queen
Victoria has to veto the reduction OF
New York salaries by cable. What
the barristers of the State think Of
Bond may be imagined. The Chief
Justices fellowship with him cost Mr..
Waite all the social sights he suffered.
But we are surprised that Bowen, Scott,
Elliott, Whipper and all the rest Of the
South Carolina Republicans did not
call on Mr.. Waite, or that, IL they did,
he, thought q Republican, counts their
attentions naught. Curious, isn't IL,
that n gentleman finds the aloyalists'
OF the South such excellent strangers

II affords terrible illustration of their
inability to govern the country on con.
stitutional principles. On this point
.ss people, both North and South, are
thoroughly convinced. The fall of the
South Carolina and Louisiana carpet.
bag government came not so much
from Hayes removing the United
States troops as from general convic-
ton in the minds of all men that this
kind Of government had run its tether,
and nothing was left for il but to give
way or the people in the very agony
of despair would have to resort to rev.
olution 10 relieve themselves and thus
compel the general government to sub.
due them and hold tho States as con.
quered provinces Thus we have the
result of sixteen years of Radical rule
and with the departure Of this rule in
the South, that party is as sure to be
cast out as that morning succeeds the
night. Hayes, It's true, gets somo credit
for removing the incubus of carpct-bag
government in the States of South
Carolina and Louisiana, but it would
have occurred without the aid of Hayes.
His admixturc with the decaying de.
bris and his success from depending
on that foul and rotten fungus places
him in light only second TO Packard
himself No party can stand such
besmirching The evidence is daily
seen that, rank and rotten, it is giving
away in all directions. Built up on
rings and supported and stimulated by
plumber of the public funds the people
weary Of the incubus. 1t has brought
the country to its present deplorable
condition, and the sooner the offensive
carcass is removed the sooner VIC will
return TO n staple, constitutional gov.
ernmcnt, and the people be relieved
from the depression that has ground
them down to poverty, wretchcdness
and dispair.

WHOLLY ACCIDENTAL The Phila
delpbia Times pithily remarks at wa
the mercst accident that found Mr.
Packard, Of Louisiana, ut Des Moines
at the time of the Republican conven
ton there. Mr.. Packard is on fish
ing excursion, and somebody told hin
1t was nice place TO fish over in Iowa
But the fishing don't seem to have
been so good as it was cracked up to
be, for we can't learn that Mr.. Packard
caught anything. Still be helped to

thing, which was doubtless the next
best thing for Mr.. Packard. The illus.
trious Loulsianian's fishing trip will not,
however, end with Iowa. He is out
Of business just now, and has no obiec.
ton to making summer of il. On
the first of August he will doubtless
make il convenient to throw his line in
Ohio, whore fishing will be nearly as
good as 1t has been in Iowa. And four
weeks later he may be bobbing in the
vicinity of Harrisburg, in this State
AT that time Of tho year there will be
reasonably good fishing along the Sus.
quehanna for those who use the right
kind of bait, and when Mr.. Packard
throws line in Pennsylvania he will
have the company Of those experienced
fshermcn-Cameron, Mackey, Errctt
and Quay. A talented party like this
ought to catch something, and it is al.
together likely they would. We think
Mr.. Packard will find more angling
talent and quite as good fishing in
Pennsylvania as ho found IN Iowa"

ing it, and in the meantime the com.
pany must take the money from its
now limited earnings TO replace the
waste Of the mob. Nor is this all that
shareholders have suffered. Their
stock that was worth from fifty five to
sixty dollars year or eia htcen months
ago, is now worth not moro than thir-
ty dollars in the market. This loss
is not imputed to incompetent or un.
faithful direction, but il is the logical
result Of the universal prostration OF
business that has reduced the volume of
the travel andtrafiic and made the reduc.
ton Of expenses an absolute necessity.
The stockholders, thousands of whom
arc no moro oppulent than the en-.
ployes of the company, have also sui
iered from forty to fifty per cent. in
the shrinkago OF the value Of their in.
vestments, and from the same cause
that has reduced the wages of labor.
The loss to capital has, therefore, been
double or quadruple the loss to labor
on our most prosperous railroads.
while many of them have sunk not
only all dividends, but nearly or quite
all their capital by the revulsion in
values, in industry and trade.
This condition Of the business OF the
country cannot escape the inexorablc
laws OF necessity, and the law of sup
ply and demand will ever assert itself
above all theories and all combinations
and over all strikes. If the railway
strikers had arrested the traffic of our
railroads by peacoably leaving their
cars and shops, they would have been
clearly within the bounds of their law.

MARRIED WOMEN AND BUILDING As.
socIAroSs.-The Supreme Court Of
this State rendered decision in the
case Of Wolbach and wife against the
Lehigh Building Association. 1t de-
clares that in all cases where married
women deal with the association the
mortgage is good only for the actual
amount loaned and the legal interest,
a logical sequence seems to be that il
the money loaned has not been used to
buy or improve her separate real cs-
tate, but has been used to raise money
to pay her husbands debts, or for
other purposes, it is void altogether.
This will, no doubt, seriously affect
the investments made by building as
sociations on the credit of mortgages
given by married women, and will
prove q grave matter for such associa.
tions. OF late years it has been a
very common practice for men to hold
their property in their wives names,
and, when dcsirous OF a loan, to Join
with the wives in the mortgage, con.
trary to the law as il now appears.-
