DEATH-BED REPENTANCE.

The telegraph brought yesterday
mornings papers the sickening details of
The hanging of eleven murderers at Potts
vile, Mauch Chunk and Wilksbsrre,
Pennsylvania. On these occasions was
again repeated the terrible blasphemy of
gsllows tree repentance, which we
have on the occasion Of almost every
execution. On last week We had
the spectacle OF three negroes, all proven
guilty of murder in cold blood, pro-
fessing CHEI-T and his saving grace from
q scsffold 10 Louisiaua; and now we
have eleven brutal Molly Msguires,
whose sins are of the deepest and most
dsmnng type, affecting the belief that
they are seeing directly trom the scatfold
into ABRAHAM's bosom. So common
has this species of shocking hypocrScy
become that the doctrine that
the red-LaLded assassin can 60
straight to the Cnristisn's heaven by
suddenly protesting belief Ill what is
termed 1.-The scheme of salvation" and de-
voting few of his last hours or days to
mumbling prayers, is becoming popular
belief, and thus the penalty for murder
is robbed of half its terror. There is 81
ways chance that the murderer
will not be caught; there is al
ways chance that il caught he
will not be convicted; and there Is al
ways a chance that even if caught and
convicted, he will not be hanged. Now
BY adding TO these chances the comforta-
bic and comforting assurance that the
murderer, il he will avail himself OF the
offices OF the church, can receive pass
port TO Paradise, we remove the
most powerful restraint upon the
blood shedding propensity. The fear
OF hell ls stronger than the
lear OF hemp, and it Is only by combin-
ing the one with the other that we can
hope to check the homicidal tendency.
When the scsfiod is turned into kind
OF spiritual elevator, by which the muir
derer is lifted at once into everlasting
olessedness, high premium is offered
ior murder, and murder must inevitably
increase and multiply. The intelligent
and thoughtful portion Of mankind are
beginning to realize that the only sort OF
religion worth having in this world and
likely to be of benefit in the next, is the
religion of principle, not of passion; the
religion of reason, not of blind faithi the
religion of week days, not OF Sunday ex-
ciusively; the religion which finds its
expression in the conduct, and not
merely in church going; the religion
which is displayed in health, and not
generated by the shadow of DEATH
'ne religion in which belief counts
ior little and behavior counts for
much. II the soul Is immortal it must
carry with it into eternity the essential
features which have distinguished il here;
And those features, if bad. cannot be
changed into good in few hours or
lew days. Religious character is q plant
o' slow growth. 1t cannot shoot up like

MONEY csn be rented in New York

MONEY can be rented in New York
at two per cent per annum, and yet its
cost is too high for those business inter-
ests which readily paid six per cent. SIX
years ago. Real estate in the CONNER
cial metropolis seeks tenants who will
pay two per cent. upon the cost Of
the property, and hundreds of
good houses remain vacant In spite
of this offer..' In the face of these
circumstances and of ouI foreign debt of
more than 50 OOO, 100000, the Secretary
ofshe treasury is busy with plans for the
contraction OF the currency, and the re-
sumption of specie payments, with all
the energy of an open foe whose only
object in life is the utter bankruptcy,
and irreparabls ruin of the country.

The government affairs in France have
just been subjected to one of the sudden
and violent upheavals so common in her
history. Taking issue with President Mac
Mahon on the enforcement Of the press
law, Jules Simon and his cabinet suddenly
resigned. Due de Broglie was intrustod
with the formation of a new Cabinet of
Ministers, but the excitement was so great,
and the danger TO the public peace so threat
ening, that MacMahon prorogued the Sen
ate and chamber of deputies for one month.
No debate was permitted, and the arbitra-
riness of the proceedings recalled wildly
the days of the last Empire. The proceed
ings following the announcement Of the
governments determination were of the
most turbulent character. Jules Simon es-
sayed in vain TO address the senate, and fin
ally withdrew from the tribune under pro-
test. In the deputies debate was denied,
adjournment being carried amid shouts OF
"Viue la Republique." At meeting Of the
left in Paris afterwards a manifesto to the
nation was issued opposing the summary
despotism of the ministry by President
MhC GhduOui anu appearing w tbS pVOplV ~
pronounce between the policy of reaction
and adventure" One hundred senators
of the LEFT also convened and protested
against the governments Infringement Of
the liberty of discussion. The excitement
both at Paris and Versailles was very great
and the situation diverted for the time be.
ing, purAic attention in England and or
the continent from the Eastern war. Pres
ident MscM ahon declares TINT the reason o
his course in breaking up one cabinet ant
forming another is that he is the guardian
of the French constitution, and that the
country will soon understand that his sole
aim is the salvation Of France and her re
publica government. To outsiders, how
ever, it looks as though some other motive
might be at the bottom Of his unexpected
action.

New England will probably be that the far
mers will try milder means Of killing or
keeping of the potato bugs at first, and If
these do not answer, aud they are likely TO
lose their potato crop from the operations Of
the pest, as a last resort they will use Paris
Green. All persons Who attempt It's use
should, however, distinctly understand its
deadly character, aud remember, il used
as a powder, 20 keep TO the windward of 1t,
and not permit II 70 get into the eyes, nos
trlls or mouth. The recommendation is
made that ii should be mixed with several
times its bulk Of wheat or rye -four and
then carefully SIZED over the vines when
they are wet. At the West, il we mistake
not, it has been much used 10y putting a
spoonful in pail Of water and sprinkling
over the plants. In this connection it Is
proper to add that we have been confident
ly assured that the pest Poison" which is
advertised in our columns is sure death
to Colorado beetles and other like pests,
but as TO the nature Of the poison we are

State Assayer Hayes of Massachusetts
publishes a letter in a Boston paper in
which he cautions the farmers against the
use of Paris Green for killing potato bugs
on account Of its highly poisonous charac-
ter. He says;
paris green contains about half its
weight OF arsenic in semi soluble form.
Five or six grains of this Infant metallic
poison are sufficient TO cause death in an
adult, and the least quantity delelerious 10
health. 1t is dangerous TO inhale or to han
die 1t in any quantity. 1t is not
known that arsenic or copper is absorbed
by the plants; they may be but assuming
that they are not, than the danger attending
the common mode of digging and gather
ing potatoes from the adhesion of particles
of the poison, in soil upon which il has
been scattered the danger of distributing
il and placing 1t in the hands OF the work.
men and the danger TO animals, such as
poultry, hogs, sheep and even dogs, who
may venture into the fields, make only
part of list of dangers that may be readf-
ly brought to mind. l cannot suggest any
harmless chemical agent that will drive off
the bugs, but do not use metallic poison"
Mr.. Hayes's warning is undoubtedly
timely one, but il is urged in answer to it
that this poison has been extensively used
at the West with impuniiy. The result in

We have received communication from
Williamsville correspondent, in opposi
ton to aid TO the Brattleboro and White
hall railroad by the town of Newfane,
which we do not publish for the sole reason
that it is so unnecessarily harsh and bitter
in its spirit. But, while declining to pub
lish the letter, we wish it distinctly under
stood that we consider this subject as open
for discussion, and any fair and candid
presentation of views in opposition to the
road will be just as cheerGully given place
as though they were on the other side of
the question. We fully recognize the fact
that there is almosta an equal division of SEN
timent in the town of Newfane in regard to
aid 10 this enterprise, and we believe, not
withstanding our own wellknown indi-
Vidual views on the merits of the case, that
both sides are entitled to a fair and impair
lial bearing. The letter referred to, how
ever, contains very serious charges and in
timations against officials of the town and
others who have used their influence in aid
of the road, as well rs against those who
worked for the success of the West river
road eight years ago-and weare convinced
that we should not be justified in making
any such reflections and insinuaiions pub
lie.

Senator Morton has written long letter
on the political situation, expressing among
many other things, his disbelief in the lib
erty, protection and equal rights accorded
TO Republicans, both white and black, in a
majority of the States South. He concludes
as follows "As the democracy have ac-
quired solid South by force, republicans
should acquire a solid North by vigilance,
and let eternal justice be their cause.
Northern republicans are now admonished
that they can endure no divisions that will
endanger their success. Should the North,
by unhappy discords, be divided and thus
fall prey to a solid Confederate South, the
rebellion will have been suppressed in
vain, the fruits of the war will be lost, and
our last condition worse than our first"
