Whether money is n sufficient motive to
Justify the deliberate, forciblo taking OF
human life not In self-dcience and when
the victim is completely In the power of the
slayer, is question in reference to which
public opinion has been supposed to be
pretty well settled. When BENJAMIN Hun
TER came to the conclusion that human life
might be taken for this sole purpose, and
proceeded accordingly to take the life Of
WILLIAM ARMSTRONG, by having him
knocked in tho head with a hammer and
aiterward completing the work OF death
with his own hand, in order that he might
recover from the insurance companies the
amount OF insurance on ARMsTRoNG's life,
Mr.. HUNTER was looked upon as eccentric
in his notions on that particular subject.
Indeed, he took some pains and employed
several lawyers to conceal his real sentl-
nients in the premises. He was evidently
conscious that they would be unpopular.
II now appears, however, that he has
sympathy in this remarkable idea In "A very
unexpected quarter. No less an authority
than the learned Prosecutor OF the Pleas for
Camden, who has just tried and convicted
Mr.. HUNTER, occupies. officially, on this
point, about the same ground with the con-
Wet. This gentleman, Mr.. JENKINS, is
highly spoken OF as an astute lawyer, and
he may possibly bring quite an accession to
the hitherto very thin ranks led by Mr.
HUNTER We find Mr.. JENKINs's avowal of
his extraordinary doctrine in one OF the
grounds presented by him to. the Court in
favor OF executing HUNTER soon, instead Of
taking more ample time in which to deter
mine whether he could be legally executed
at all. Mr.. JENKINS urged upon the Court
the consideration that it would cost several
dollars n day--one account says four, an
other, to keep HUNTER until autumn
Ability and eloquence are good deal in
themselves. What, then, must they be when
combined with such rare economy Yet

The Ring politicians OF Philadelphia have


for many years found IL very convenient 10
have large Federal appropriations to be ex-
pended In and about the city. This year they
got the Senate to insert in the Sundry Civil,
bill some fat items for the Post ONCE and
League Island. They intended. Of course, to
put on heavy force OF lahorors about election
time. compel them 10 vote the Republican
ticket. and pay them ont Of these approprl-
atoms But Speaker RANDALL, in appointing
the conferees on the part Of the House. failed
somehow or another. TO call his men up TO the
desk and pledge them to vote for the radical
corruption fund in Philadelphia. On the con-
trary. he appointed men who were disposed to
save the public money and to lop of
abuses OF this kind. This was in accordance
with his wcll-known policy OF reducing
the public burdens wherever a reduction
can be effected without dctrlment to the public
service. But 1t has raised concerted howl
from all the organs Of Toa ScoTr. and sub
sides. and Of Don CAMERON, and the Republic
can party that are printed In the city OF election
frauds. MIR. RANDALL. they say. should have
forgotten the country and remembered only
Philadelphia. should have forgotten the
Democratic party and remembered only
the Republican corruption fund. 1t is
manifest. however. that Mr.. RASpALL's Of
fence lies further back. The men whose
palms itch TO handle few millions Of pub
lie money. and who Just now propose TO
take 1t in the form Of n subsidy to tho Texas
Pacific Job have found in the Speaker an in
supcrable obstacle. and this is one OF their petty
methods OF annoyance. The outcry will do Mr..
RANDALL grcatservice with the country AT large.
and ought to DO helpful oven in his own dis
trlct. 1t is quite noticeable that the cutlery is
loudest in the organs most remarkable for de-
votion TO ToH Scorr and his schemes at home

I commenced to take it, and soon found myself beginning to feel bet ter; my health and spirits both felt the benign influence which it exerted, and in d few months from the time l commenced the use of the Vegetine, the Cancer came out almost bodily.

 DR. s. H. FLOWERS. ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOoD.-If Nege- tine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify, and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different many remedies, suffering for years, is 1t not conclusive proof. if you are a sufferer. you can be cured? Why is this medicine performing such great cures ? It works in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great source Of disease originates in the blood; ard no medicine that does not act directly upon it, to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention.
