THE LBeIsL AZURE.

Up to the present time, this body
has done a great deal Of work in the
introduction of local and general
bills, making reports, debating, app
pointing committees, investigating,
ETC., but no bills of any real import
ance have yet been acted upon OF
passed. We will try to keep our
readers posted as far as practicable,
but the mass of stuff that is being TO-
troduced is hardly worthy of atten~
ton, and of no possible interest save
to certain localities.
The important bills have been set
down for certain days, and as soon
as they are disposed of, we will give
the result.
After two days discussion in the
House of the Agricultural Bureau,
the roll, on Tuesday, was called up
the question of agreeing to the re-
port of the committee, which was
adverse to the passage of the bill to
abolish the bureau. The result was
81 yeas, and Sc nays. So the re-
port was agreed to and the bill was
lost.

BAcoNys BILL.

SPEAKER BACON has bill before
the Judiciary committee Of the Geor-
gia Legislature, looking to the speedy
punishment of murderers. The bill
in question gives homicide cases pre-
cedence over all other cases, requir.
ing the court to try an indicted mnr-
derer at the same term be is indicted.
POs.ponements are restricted to tbir'
ty days, even if adjourned terms are
necessary. The bill is designed to
prevent murderers from receiving
that tardy justice that defers trial
some times as long as one or two
years. Swift trial and speedy pun-
ishment are the objects sought. -
The certainty of punishment will
deter the perpetration of crime,
while lsxity will invite its commits

THE Radicals are using the tele-
graph, the newspapers and every
other available means to make it
appear that injury is being done to
the public service by the failure of
the bill to pay marshals, deputy
marshals, and others.
Tue people should bear in mind
that the Democratic party in Con
gress passed a bill appropriatiog
money to pay the marshals when on
discharge of their lawful duties, all
such duties as could reasonably be
expected to raise; but because it
failed to appropriate funds to pay
such armies of deputy lnarshals as
Mr.. Hayes might think necessary to
insure another theft of the Presi
dency by the Radicals. regardless OF
the will of the majority, he vetoed
the bill. He would rather see men
fail to get pay for the discharge and
performance of lawful duties than to
run the risk of a possible failure Of
hired officials, under the name OF
deputy marshals, for doing the dirti
est work of a dirty party.
Mr.. Hayes is responsible for the
failure to pay marbhals, and not the
Democratic majority in Congress-

Henry Hammond has confessed
that he belonged to party of three
which burned an East St. Louis
house,to get insurance, and destroyed
a man, woman and three children
The building formerly belonged to
one Bausch, who parted from bis
wife and went to live with one Mar
shall, who kept a boarding house.
Bausch soon died, and Marshall
showed papers giving him the dead
mans house, which Mrs. Bausch still
occupied. She refused to go, al
though Marshall got Hammond to
try smoking her out by burning cat
tie hoofs in the blacksmith shop on
the first floor. Marshall then got
the place insured, and plotted with
Hammond to burn it. The plot
was carried out, Mrs. Bauscb's three
children, Mrs. Thomas, aud a black
smith perishing in the flames.

SPEAKS OUT.

PRESIDENT ELLIOT, of Harvard
College, has put himself on record
in the most unqualified manner in
regard to the subject of education,
which is receiving so much attention
at present. His words are words OF
wisdom. He says:
al may as we'll abruptly avow, as
the result of my reading and obser>
walton 10 the matter OF education,
that recognize but one mental ac>
QUESTION as an essential part of the
education of lady or a gentleman,
namely, an accurate and refined use
of the mother tongue. Greek, Latin,
French, German. mathematics, nat
tural and physical science, meta
physics, history and athletics are all
profitable and delightful, both as
training and as acquisition, to him
who studies them with intelligence
and love, but not one of them has
the least claim to be called an ac>
QUESTION essential to liberal educa>
ton or an essential part of sound
education. A thorough knowledge
of one or two Of them obtained in
college, added to very elementary
knowledge of several of them OBJ
tanned in school, makes a richer,
stronger and more fruitful mind than
a superficial acquaintance with each
and all OF them The fruit of liberal
education is not learning, but the
capacity and desire to learn; not
knowledge, but power"

aAnvANcED CIVILIZATION. !

| The New York EUesiag Post,
meditating on the shocking catalogue
Of crimes recorded in the morning
papers of that city on the day after
the Fourth Of July, says: IA stran
ger who reads the New York journals
Of to day might we'll suppose that
the community was sinking into q
state Of barbarism. One crime seems
to beget another with terrible precis
ion, and each day brings fresh add
tons to the cycle of atrocity. The
annaIs Of guilt, voluminous and
CHASTITY as they are, commonly pre-
sent pauses or breathing spaces, so
to call them, between each special
act Of wickedness, but there now
seems to be no stop, no hesitation,
nothing but one headlong rush Of
desperate villainy. The mind has
scarcely time to recover from the
horror Of one dark deed before it is
stunned by another. Night is made
hideous by the endless round of vio-
leDce and blood. Yelled homicide
stalks through the city unchecked
with each going down of the sun !;
and the solemn stars look down every
night on some new sin that makes
the earth ache for humanity, and
wonder if indeed the race is going
straight on to destruction"
After such confession as the
above, the Post should not have .
word to say about Southern barba>
rism for a twelve month.
