ON of the queerest freaks of
speculation that has developed re-
Gently is the demand for Confederate
bonds. A Wall street man tele-
graphed few days ago to various
banks in the South to secure as
many Confederate bonds as possible
at 81 per $1,000. He has already
received a large quantity of them.
One bank in Memphis send him
$250,OOO. The only reason we have
heard given for their purchase is, that
during the war the Confederate gov
eminent sent 100000 in gold to
England, for the purchase of provis-
ions, which sum has never been touch
ed. The object of the purchasers may
be to offer them there for redemp-
ton. We know nothing about the
facts, but if any of our friends have
any they wish to sell, they may prob
ably find a purchaser, if they viii

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1881.
DISREGARDING THE SACREDNESS
OF HUMAN LIFE.

After each succeeding disaster,
resulting in the great loss of human
life. like that of the burning of the
Landenberger mills in Philadelphia,
the other day, there is spasmodic
effort on the part of the press to
compel greater attention to safety
from fire on the part of the proprie-
tors of hotels, opera-houses, facto
ries, etc. But when the sympathy
for those who lose their lives in such
CONGREGATIONS becomes less active
by the lapse of time, the matter is
lost sight of until some other holo-
caust like that at the Landenber,
ger mills calls attention to it again.
The papers are now full of demands
on the subject, but it will probably
pass off i'll words without action, just
as it has done before.
It does seem to us, that in this
land of boosted civilization, where
the sacredness of human life is adj
mitted if not respected, that strin-
gent measures should be adopted to
compel the owners of buildings
where large numbers of persons are
gathered habitually, to provide means
for escape from fire. In the case OF
the Philadelphia fire, the owners OF
the mills are probably no more
culpable than thousands of others,
but in the light of this disaster,
they can be regarded as little
less than murderers. Their opera.
tives were crowded together in ar
upper story, in a building filed with
combustible material, with no means
for escaping from a horrible death il
case of fire. The fire came ant
the ckening details are before tn
country. They keep their propert
insured against loss, but the lives Q
those whose labor makes their fol
tune are no more to them than tn
lives of so many cattle.
We have no sympathy with strikes
originated and controlled by ba
men for unworthy purposes, SO man
of which result disastrously t
those for whose good they ar
ostenSibly put in operation, but W
do think it is high time for the worl
ing classes in many places to reb'
against their heartless employer
who treat them as no better thu
slaves, and take no thought for the
comfort or safety. Thousands {
human beings are compelled to cal
their living, huddled together
buildings without proper light or ve1
tilation, and who are constantly o.
posed to just such disasters as th'
to which we have above alluded
is fit subject for the attention
law makers, and the strong arm
the law should be invoked.
How many hotels in the COUNT
and how many public buildings a
constructed without any referen
to the contingency of fire? \
man should be allowed to erect SUI
buildings without making ample .
rangements for the safety of |
guests or those who may occul
such building. Until this is don
we fail to pay proper regard to Il
sacredness Of human life.

The Philadelphia Record has the
following in reference to the status
of Senator Davis:
Now that Mr.. David Davis is Pres
ident pro tenn. of the Senate he would
become President of the United States
in the event of the " removal. death,
resignation or inability Of President
Arthur. He would not, however, be
entitled to occupy the Presidential
Office for the remainder of the term
ending March 4, 1855. Should either
of these casualties occur prior to Oc-
tober 6, 1882. notification would be
Immediately issued by the Secretary
of State to the different State Gov
ernors calling for the appointment in
the usual manner of electors of
President and Vice President within
thirty-four days of December
6, 1882, and the electors there
upon chosen would meet and give
their votes upon the date just
named. The term of the newly
elected President and Vice-President
would begin on the 4th of March
following. Mr.. Davis would there
fore exercise the Presidential func-
ton until March 4, 1883. Should
President Arthur die while Mr.
Davis remains President pro tempore
of the Senate Mr.. Davis would 60
iastanti acquire vested right to the
succession. It would be too late for
a majority of the Senate to displace
him with a view to putting somebody
else in the White House. He would,
of course, at once cease to be Pres
ident pro tempore of the Senate, or
even member of that body.

A STATUTE THAT SHOULD BE MOD.
IFIED.

The Supreme Court yesterday, as
will be seen from the report Of de-
cisions in another column, held that
person who. within one mile from
the place where any assemblage of
persons is collected for religious
worship, and not at his usual place
of business, sells or exposes to sale
provisions, or other articles Of traffic,
is guilty Of a misdemeanor, under
section 1854 of the Code, which
imposes fine not exceeding fifty
dollars. It is not necessary
that the assemblage be disturbed.
The offense consists simply in sell
ling, or exposing to sale any article
of traffic within the distance men
toned and not at the party's usual
place of business.
In the case referred to riggs VS..
State) the thing sold as we learn was
watermelon
1t seems well enough that the
statute should prohibit the sale o,
gift of spirituous or other liquors
within the limits and under the re.
strictions specified, as it does, but
why it should go to the extent il
does cannot be imagined. Many in
dictments might be found about
camp-meeting season under this
statute against persons al
together innocent of any
hurt or disturbance of any one
if spiteful prosecutors could b.
found The law has been a deal
letter until now, in the particulars t.
which we present objection, ant
should certainly be modified. Gu
courts should be concerned witt
weightier matters.

IT is clear to be seen that the par
tisan newspapers do not regard
Senator Davis as having abandoned
his perch on the fence when he ac-
copied the Presidency of the Senate.
His position is as uncertain as ever
and in his case the unexpected is
likely to happen as often as the ex-
pected. When General Logan made
the motion to elect him President
pro tenn, it was objected to by Mr..
Pendleton, which meant that the
Democrats intended to delay the
change if they found they could not
prevent it. But they doubtless
considered afterwards that OPP
position might provoke their Uncle
David, and that in case
there was danger Of him going owe,

ONE Boston paper has recently
made the charge that another has a
financial writer on it's staff who takes
money, stocks and privileges in re-,
turn for notices and puffs in his de-
partment of the paper. We regret
that the character Of at least q peF-
ton of the American press is such,
that such charges may be made and
believed. Whether it is true or not
the opinion prevails with large
number of people, that market re-
ports, especially the report Of the
stock market, as it appears in some
papers published in the trade cen
ters, is unreliable and published in
the interest Of spectators.
We do not believe the press to be
so universally governed by merce-
nary motives as some people do. We
believe that in point of honesty and
integrity, the men of this country
engaged in journalism will compare
favorably with any of the secula,
professions. But as in all Other
folds. there are black sheep in this
who betray an honorable calling and
turn it to base uses. We have M
words strong enough to express Thu
condemnation which should b.
heaped upon the miserable wretch
who, with opportunities for doing Sc
much good, will prostitute his oppor
tunities for the purposes of robbery

HOWELL EDMoNDs JACKSON, the new
Senator elect from Tennessee, was born in
Paris, Tenn, IN 1882; was graduated at the
West Tennessee college, in 1848, and after
wards studied law at the University at Vir-
ginia He practiced law for many years in
Memphis and held high position at the
bar. When the war broke out he asappoint-
ed toa civil position in the rebel government.
He removed to jackson in 1876, and on
two occasions served as one of the judges
of the supreme court. In 1878 he was a
prominent candidate for the Democratic
nomination as supreme judge. He was
elected to the present general assembly from
Madison county on the State Credit Demo-
cratic platform. He is member of the
committees on Judiciary and privileges and
elections, and will serve in the Legislature
till March. He is short, rather stout built,
and light complexion. He is considered
one of the ablest lawyers in the State, and
is debt-payer or State credit man of the
radical school. He is good debater,
though not an eloquent man. Tennessee
ans say he will improve on acquaintance.
