An illustration of the cheap rate at which
human life is held in the South is afforded by
the record of Anderson county, Kentucky,
where. during the last ten years, at least II
men have been murdered, and only three con-
victions have occurred. The utmost punish
ment inflicted upon any of the murder
ers was ten years in the pcnitcntiary, and one
man. who killed several persons in utter de-
fiance of law, was four times acquitted in
farcical trials.

THERE is certain dignity BETTING
public station, and We always regret to
see it set aside, no matter whether in
high or low, large or small bodies, self
respect should not be thrown aside to
indulge passion and the use Of violent
language. Only few weeks ago the
whole country shuddercd at the violence
of the language of two Of the most bril-
liant and eloquent Senators III the Sem
ate chamber, and as if there was some
thing in the very air that affects mems
minds, the bad cadence Of these gentle
mems words had scarcely subsidized here
until our own Council chamber is made
the scene Of bitter and denunciatory
language that is nearly always boom
erang to those who use it, and their
friends and supporters also. We do not
wish to mention names. But we are
confident that the members feel them
selves that they have committed an in
discretion, and that harsh Language
which reduces the legislative hall of oul
city to the standard of common brothe
is injurious and degrading, and unfit fol
representative men TO indulge in.

THE Democratic members OF the
City Council should make no delay in
coming to some mutual un ierstanding.
They are now being urged and stimu-
lated to oppose each other by the crafty
ones of the Republican party. There
are only eight Republicans in The Coun-
ell and yet they have been permitted to
delay the action Of that body by their
votes. 1t will be perceived that they do
not unite their votes and cast them solid
when question of economy arises. 1t
is only when they hope to make mis-
chief in the Democratic ranks, and thus
help to destroy the Democratic party's
usefulness that they unite. After doing
this they may go ont and laugh and brag
that they ''used Democrats for a party
purpose" We hope this will not be
permitted.

Now AND THEN.-When the Repub-
lican party came into power 1t found
the stars and stripes predominant on
land and ocean. The American seaman
was welcomed on every sea, and the
commerce of the United States exoelled
that of any nation in the world. A vast
change has taken place since then, and
still our most enterprising merchants
complain that partisanism opposed the
return to their former liberal use OF
ships to carry abroad or surplus farm
products, and these nearly all now 60
in foreign bottoms. The Lancaster In
teHigencer, of Saturday, notes fact
which will surprise most OF our readers.
1t says:
"The British lion showed his teeth
around Philadelphia, yesterday, and Oh
the Delaware it was notable that be-
tween Port Richmond and Gloucester,
thirty-two British vessels displayed the
bunting of their nation, but had al
American flag visible nowhere about
them. There were also present in the
harbor vessels of all other nations, and
these gave the stars and pes all pos
sible prominence"
We feel no animosity toward our
British brethren but we deeply regret
that our countrymen are so foolish as to
allow themselves to be thus sighted in
our own harbors, by the floating Of 3
flag that takes our trade and our money
and does not SO much as return the
common courtesies of trade. They
charge high rate of freight and thus
secure profit from our farmers labors
that should be shared by the producer
or our ship owners. But the nationa
Legislature prevents our people from in
vesting in ships and hence the British
have their own prices and their owl
terms.
