The Journal Of Commerce q very
cpns,derate newspaper II is-rs obates 'nat
moral CONDITIONS which intro EEices +lntos the
{ raart ~ the wealthy and no puious centre OF
This lard CT boosted culture and refinement
the. c,,sten.s Of countries where brigah dage
ana ranson,s are tolerated. in those coun-
tries the authorities and the brigaHds are in
collision, and when persons OF wealth are
detained in the mountains there Is no help
but to pay the demanded ransom, and thus
secure freedom. But the journal con-
sidcrs it strange that In this country people
should be left to the mercy OF burglars ana
araYe.robbers, and find no relief but oy
having advertised rewards and Tansoms 10
the outlaws. 1t is very reasonable tnas
there should he such surprise IN TINS couh-
Nv. There has been an astonishing number
30 strange outrages in the North OF late, and
such has been the success OF those who COM
mitted them In avoiding arEest ana detec-
ton that it is plain that they have the ad.
vantage Of alliance with those appointed 10
detect crime and bring transsressors 10 pun
ishment. This raises the question whether
the communities where such things exist
sre TO be left to protect themselves in the
best way they can: II the local govern
ment is strong enough to guard the safety
of life aud property, it should display It's
strength. II it is not. then those people
have a smart taste OF barbarism.
This country is learning good deal. IL
has been, it would seem, too happg-too
secure. Politics and morals were too wen
ordered, and man, never satisfied, had 20
examine into the cause Of this excess Oh
good things and to make such experiments
nc If was deemed might lead TO lively sem
sa,ional agitation that might be more agree
able 10 him. And it has come. Dlsturp-
ancc and disquietude from an altered con-
d;tion Of morals have appeared sufficiently
strange and frequent to lead to the inquiries
OF the journal of Commerce.
These are timely, and it Will be wen II
they lead to amendments. All people shoulo
know whether they have Government pro-
lection, or whether they shall be LETT 10
{. fight i. out" themselves and make the best
terms they can with outlaws. Ii the laws
and their executors are strong ehousn'
then any man that condones with crime lot
his personal safety is partlcipatof WIN
crime and public enemy. Ii he must DC
lett to his own means OF defence, then ne IS
right to employ those means.
There has been fearful adulteration OF
public virtue in the land, and it is not won
deriul that the consequences il the wealthy
sections OF the country should develop
themselves in crimes that lead to spoiiatlons
OF wealth in many ways, and to the cor
rupting effects OF money in paralyzlng the
power of police regulations, and sublectlng
men to the mercics of rosues and their nj
lies amongst the officials appointed to pro-
tect them.
It Is hut poor consolation to the commu'
nifty that is brought TO the point OF making
such inquiries to be informed that the things
from which they suffer were created in part
by themselves. But it is 4 fact.

FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT.
Robertson Us. Cease. Error to the Cir.
cult Court for the District Of Texas. In
this case it is held, first, that il the record
of the case sufficiently shows the residence
OF the parties as affecting the Jurisdiction
OF the Court, the jurisdiction Will be sus:
tanned; but il nothing further is disclosed
by the record than the mere naked aver
ment OF one OF the parties in the pleadings
to determine his citizenship, this will be in
sufficient to establish it.
Second. 1t is decided that the provision
of the fourteenth amen dment OF the Consti-
tuition declaring that all persons born or
naluralized in the United States, and sub
iect to the Jurisdiction thereof, are citizens
OF the United States and OF the State where
they may reside, .'does not SO far establish
the citizenship Of party to be in the par
ticular State where he may be found as to
relieve him from the necessity OF showing
affirmatively the fact OF residence, in accord
ance with a long line Of decisions OF this
Court. 1t is not thought that this provision
should be allowed to modify the doctrines
thus hitherto established upon the subject
of the Jurisdiction Of the Federal courts
Reversed. Mr.. Justice Harlan delivered
the opinion. Washington Republican, 18th

The Cradle and the Grave.

Our brother OF the Petersburg Post makes
a hit-a very decided one-in the following
paragraph in his Yesterdays paper:
During our civil war the Confederates
were charged with having to "rob the era
die and the graYe'' to recruit their armies.
That was nearly the truth. But we are glad
to observe that, since the close Of the war,
all the robbing OF cradles of living children
and graves OF dead mems bones have been
confined exclusively TO tue North and Westi
The kidnapping OF poor Charley Ross and
other infants, and the daring robbery OF
the graves OF Colonel Harrison, OF Ohio, and
A. L. Stewart, OF New York, presents the
horrifying picture in its true colors. No
such atrocious crimes as either OF those have
been heard Of in any portion OF the South.

THE PRESIDENT INTENDING TO DISCUSS
THE SOUTHERN QUEsTEoN.-A special dis.
patch from Washington says: "The Presi.
dent told a gentleman yesterday that lie
should make the southern question lead
ing feature OF his message. and should
dwell especially upon the necessity Of en-
forcing the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments. The President is also understood
TO have said that be fluids that in many re-
spects in its judgment OF the South the
majority OF his own party was right and he
himself was wrong"

Mr.. BECK's IDEA.-fFrom the Lexington
efKy.5 Press, November 10.l-The Republic
can papers are determined not to under
stand Senator Beck's attitude on the quesA
ton Of contest by Democrats for congress
SIGNAL seats because of interference withthe
elections by Federal supervisors. HIS idea
is as publicly expressed, that such elections
should; be igDored altogether by Congress,
neither OF the contestants be recognized az
entitled to a seat, and that the election
OF ngrcssmen in such contested districts
be referred back, to the people, gunaided by
Fedora! supervisors. Isn't that right !?
We commend the above to the Petersburg
Post and all other good Democrats. Mi
Beck Is on the right track.
