We publish further extract from
Certain Dangerous Tendencies in Amer
lean Life from the October number of
the Atlantic Monthly:
"Our situation is the more unfavorabl.,
because of the inevitable decline of pa
triotism among US Immediately after the
war,-a lowering of national vitality
which still affects US seriously. This was
largely caused by the utter exhaustion of
the faculties of the people; an incapacity
of their powers of brain, nerve and mind
tor continued action in the same direc
tions after the fearful tension maintaine
during the struggle. As all our intel
Iectual and moral activities are correlated
with physical forces, this exhaustion WAS
unavoidable, and any great moral effort
on the part OF the people at the close of
the war was next to impossible This
has most probably had something to do
with the great Indifference in regard to
the violation of the laws displayed by
local communities. The leading citizens
in many places habitually transgress some
laws, finding it convenient or profitable
to disregard them. In one of the best
towns of an Eastern State the principal
property holders and public-spirted citi
Zens met from time to time for some
months, last year, to devise measures to
repress crime and immortality, and to
promote the order and welfare of the
community. The relation of society to
pauperism, the sources of vice, the prov
ince of legislation, and the duty of good
men in relation to such subjects were
freely discussed. Two or three gentle
men urged the adoption of some expires
sion by these chief men of the place, Of
their sense of the importance of strict
obedience to the laws on the part of all
good citizens but it was impossible to
obtain anything of the kind. l have
learned that the same thing has occurred
in several other places. Some of this
evil may be due to oVer.legislation; but,

wearied. and are all the time looking
around for the most comfortable kind of

used in the State House at Columbus

says the cabin containing the outlaw and

armed men" One of them fired through
the window, with q shotgun, and then
ran. Finally, they got their man out

breast and cheek Then they tied his
arms, and chained his legs, and put him
