The People Moving.

1t isrefreshing to perceive that in all
parts Of lac country The people are
awake to thcimportance ofthc crisis and
are exhibiting a frmncss and determ-
nation which will 90 far torelievc the
country from apprehensions threatens

insist On a fir count and will be con>

natl. Other States will soon follow.
There is nothing revolutionary or VIC
lent il any Of these movements.
They arc all in the nature of protests
against revolution and in the interest
of peace.
This is the true way of meeting the
crisis. When danger threatens, the
people, the source Of all power and
The only sovereigns, must speak out.
Desperate politicians are powerless
for mischief when the public eye is
vigilant Where the people lead it is
safe to follow: where they stop, con-
sni@q:ors must and will halt. The old
landmarks must be preserved. The
idea That the President of the Senate
is to decide the Presidential question
is prepoSterci4s. The Constitution
never provided fpr il and never will
justify it, The precedents are all
against it. The Republican members
OF Congress cannot insist upon it With
out crossing their own tracks. AS
recently as in 1873 the vote of Louis
lima was rejected on motion Of Gar
fed, then and now one of the most
prominent Republican leaders. Three

excluded by motion OF another prom>
inent leader, ii Senatorial aspirant Of
our State, Mr. Hoar. There was no
opposition TO it, and the power of ex-
Guiding votes by Congress for good
cause was not only clearly exercised
but by general aequiescence. To de-
ny such power now, or refuse to ex-
ercise it in a case clearly within the
rule of former precedents, would be
unjust in itself, and would enable the
Republicans to take advantage Of
their own WONG. II q new construc>
ton Of the Constitution is called for,

WHOLESALE CHILD MURDER.
Revelations of Terrible Crime near Liver
pool, Engla nd.

The case of widow Kirkbride, a resi-
dent Of Tuebrok, near Liverpool, Eng
land, heretofore noticed in our columns,
was again brought before the Penrith
magistrates on this 18th ult., the develop
ments causing great excitement. The
dren. Her own son, William Earnest
Kirkbride, a lad of tn irteen years of age
was called on to testify as to her crime.
He atated that five or six years ago,
while residing with his maternal grand
mother, he and a brother we're sweeping
out a. loft In his mothers residence at
Helton, and while throwing the dirt and
stuff into the hidden he observed q
white bag, which he opened. The bag
contained red flannel petticoat and a
lot of rags much stained. These being
removed he discovered q derd child
quite dry and mummifed. The fingers
and toes were perfect, and there was a
quantity of white hair upon part of its
head. He sail nothing to his mother
about the matter, but told his grand
mother and two aunts the same day.
They charged him 10 say nothing more
about the affair, and not to visit his
mothers house again. Notwithstanding
thisiniunction he returned the dayfollow-
ing, and went into the garden to dig.
There he found the same child, with a
little earth spread over it. He threw a
little more soil over it and left it. He
afterwards showed theplace to an officer.
This officer on being examined, said that
he exhumed the remains and had them
examined by a medical man, who de-
clared that they we're not the bones Of a
child. .l.'
Testimony was also given as to the
finding of the dead bodies of two chill
dren in box at the Griffin Inn, Penrith,
which boxes belonged to the prisoner,
and of the discovery of three more bod
les in her lodgings at Tuebrook, near
Liverpool. According to medical evi-
dence, the children found at Penrith
were born at different periods-one Of
them probably ten years ago, the other
not mole than two years in the past,
Round the neck of one of them was a
deep furrow. With regard to the skele-
tons found at Tuebrook, it was said that
they were born at different epochs, but
were so mummifed as to make it impos-
sible to state their ages. 1t was held,
however, that they were older than those
discovered at Penrith. 91i t.'iar
The prisoner declined to make any
statement in answer to the charge, and
was committed for trial at the Appleby
Assizes upon the charge Of concealing the
birth of one child, the Chairman announc.
ing there would be detainers against her
for concealing the birth of five other
children. t.i sa ,.4.

A PIOUS DIPLOMAT.

Some few days ago administer from one
of the neighboring towns came to Wheel
ing on a short visit He was out calling
pretty late one night, and upon return
ing home he was suddenly met in a lonely
part of the city by highwayman, who
thrust a pistol at the clergyman, and
demanded his money or his life The
minister was startled, but his presence OF
mind did not forsake him, and he thus
addressed the would be thief in the most
solemn and affecting tone;
My good man, you shall have every
cent possess. give it you willingly
but | hope you will listen to me for a
moment
The preacher then fell to work and
went over whole sermon, and in the
most melting terms besought him to for
sake his present mode ofmakinga living.
The stars twinkled above in undimmed
glory, and the sea winds whirled around
the adjacent corner. 1t was an impress
sive occasion, and the silentinAuences
of night, in conjunction with the elo.
quent and sweetly modulated tones OF
the preacher, caused the robber to soften
and grow penitent.
The preacher saw this, and, watching
an opportune moment exclaimed, My
friend, you have done me wrong, tho
you shall have my money. But get
down on your knees and ask forgiveness
for your sins
The penitent thief got down on his
knees, and, when he had completely un-
hinged, the preacher kicked him in the
stomach, and then ran up the street like
a narrow-gauge engine. - Wheeling

EDMUND Burke said of the men of the
Revolutionary era: In other countries
the people, more simple and of a less
mercurial cast, judge Of an i'll principle
in government only by an actual griev'
ance. Here they anticipate the evil and
judge Of the presence ofthe grievance by
the badness of the principle. They au'
CUR misgovernment at distance, and
sniff the approach Of tyranny in every
tainted breeze. 1t is time little of this
sensitiveness should revive.

The cunning that seems to be part of
insanity is illustrated in the killing of
Erskine Barrett, keeper in the insane
asylum at Northampton, Mass. He was
found with his throat cut in the ward of
which he had charge, and one or more of
eight maniacs did it; yet it is impossible
to ascertain the facts. Several had blood
marks on their hands or clothing, but all
deny the deed. OF course there is no
moral responsibility.
