ARRESTED, CHARGED WITH ATTEMPT
ED RApE.-On last Tuesday, July
10th, David O'Brien, about 10 years
of age, son Of John O'Brien, residing
on Mud run, in Warrington district,
was arrested and had a hearing before
Justice Jas. f. Christy, Of that dis
trict, charged with an attempt to com
nit rape on little 2-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. Danial Kuhn, of that sec
ton. The offence is said to have been
committed eight or ten days ago in a
blackberry patch, near Mr.. Kuhn's res
idence The evidence brought for
ward at the examination was sufficient
to hold the prisoner for trial, and in
default of $500 bail, he was brought
to this place by Constable Sine and
lodged in jail. O'Brien does not bear
a good character.
ANoTHER.-A few days ago Justice
Jas. f. Christy, of Warrington, issued
warrant for the arrest Of young
man named Hamilton, about II years
of age, son Of Mr.. Fielding Hamilton,
Jr., who is a respected citizen of Man
nlngton district, charged with an at
tempt to commit rape on the person
of little girl twelve years old, daugh-
ter of Mr.. Samuel Belch, neighbor.
The serious offence with which young
Hamilton is charged, is alleged to
have been committed Thursday or
Friday of last week, at the little
girls home, and though he did not
succeed in carrying out his hellish
purpose, the girl was injured con-
siderably. He is still at large, hav-
ing left the country, as we are inform
ed.
Another similar case is reported
from the same section. We could not
get the particulars of this affair, but
understand that on the information of
a young woman, named Ida McCray,
Henry Simpson was arrested, last
Tuesday, charged with an attempt to
outrage her, but that after an examin-
alton the prisoner was discharged.
Licentiousness and brutality seem to
have been rampant in Warrington
district during the pastweek. - FAIR

Scion received all the bad epithets

here.
Sd. .The most effective measure
was the alteration of the standard Of
coinage. Scion caused the drachms
to be coined of lighter weight, so
that one hundred new drachms
were equal to seventy three of the
old, and then settled that all outstand'

the new standard of coinage
What would poor old Scion have

the code that seventy-three drachms
are one hundred-how absurd. Fiat

on.
The measure was advantageous
to all laboring under obligations of

produce a Greater store for capital to
appropriate. It is by legislation that
a financial system is kept in opera
ton, by which, through the monopo-
ly of the currency, the money power
can dictate what shall be the rate of
interest, lessening or initiating the
amount Of money in existence as suits
its own greed, regardless of the needs
or the condition of industry. 1t is
class legislation which accords to
chartered monopolies the power to
practically reinstate the system Of
primogeniture and entail, which the
fathers of the republic abolished,
fully realizing its disastrous effects
upon English liberty. It is such leg
islation which so hampers and impov-
erishes labor that a life Of ceaseless
toll fails to bring the reward of care
in old age which it should; SO that it
it said that the majority of even the
skilled mechanics do not leave
enough to bury them decently, and in
consequence the fear of indulgence
brings a pail upon the whole indus
trious population. It is this legisla-
ton which counteracts the natural
results which should attain by the
use of the increased powers of ma
chinery il lessening the time necessa-
ry for the required production. 1t is
class Legislation which protects the
the rich mans capital and disregards
the poor mans life; which makes life
harder for the many that the few may
squander. And. finally, it is by class
legislation that those who have the
ballot, only gained by long and ter
rible struggle against class legislation

CLASS LEGISLATION.

Our experience in the case of slav.
cry, of the inevitably disastrous re-
suits OF class legislation. is so recent,
that 1t would seem such lesson
would not be soon lost upon our legis-
lators. The folly of supposing that
any stable prosperity could ever be
built upon Il basis of legislation, so
monstrously unjust as to require the
sacrifice OF the great majority. for the
benefit of the few is now so plain. that
every one can see it. There is no
doubt that in his bred Scott decision.
Judge fancy spoke only the simple
truth, when he said that the negro
had been considered for more than
century as being of an inferior or
der, land SO far inferior. that they
had no rights which the white man
| was bound TO respect 1t was M
portant for the judge, that the duty
of making this simple statement of
he truth came to him at 4 time, when
the moral culture of the nation had
sufficiently advanced to be shocked at
| 1t. For chattel slavery was simply
one. and only one OF the many branch-
/ es of class legislation. that had de-
seended TO the generations who suf-
| ferred from it, and in the course of
/ time, when the moral sense of the
/ people had by the slow process of cul-
/ ture come to be conscious of its evils.

its abolition.
As long, however. as chattel slav-
cry was the only recognized condition
