There Is now an opportunity fOl
southern newspapers to tell about the
exceptionally good order in their sec

grandson of the United States senator

che ''best blood i'll the state" has lust
killed negro named Rose Mosely in
cold blood. The murderer had assault
ed another negro, and in the criminal
prosecution Mosely testified to the I'M
doubted facts of the case, and Critten-
den was convicted and fined one cent.
Then the blue blooded son of long
list of Kentucky nOblemen took shot
gun and went hunting for Mosely, in
the good old matter-of-course way. He
found him standing, unarmed and I'M
suspecting, in Il public place, put the
gun almost against HIM and fired both
barrels. Then Mr.. Crittenden dis
charged little profanity and '"turned
about in an uncOnccrned way and
walked home" leaving the negro with
his breast torn open, quite dead.
There is nothing remarkable about this
in kentucky-but it must be counted
strange that the cOrOncr's jury de
clared Crittenden guilty of murder.

The announcement that Sunday was
the seventy-tifth birthday anniversary
of John Greenleaf Whittier was a re-
minder to people that this beloved po-
ct is approaching period when life
cannot offer the prospect of many years
to come. In the death of LOngfellow
Whittier is left as the sole survivor OF
the poets who made New England hon
Ored as their birthplace. Whittier is
Il typical Yankee. His nature is as
sturdy as the New England hills. He
was ever the champion of the OPP
pressed and down-trodden, his Muse
being often courted in the service OF
the freedmen, and with true Quaker
like honesty of heart and purpose
making his influence felt for the anne
Iteration of their sutferings. May the
author of Snow Bound long he spared
to receive the homage of the people in
whose defence he has written.

A curious transaction is reported
from town in Stokes county, North
Carolina. Men sometimes have con-
siderable difficulty in the mutual pos
session of the same wife. The pro-
ceeding was done with the consent of
all parties, and all seem to be satisfied.
A farmer about to remove from town
felt that he could not afford to take his
wife with him, and he sold her for $500
to "A bachelor neighbOr who wanted a
wife, and the wife cheerfully agreed to
the transfer. A pretty fair value, and
loving couples who elope from enraged
husbands would do well to adopt
this method of settling the ownership
of the wife.

Arlington ID. Welch, well-knOwn
printer, editor and temperance lecturer,
died recently in an almshouse in
Washington, ID. c. He was prominent
in the Reform Club movement in New
England, and in other parts of the
country. He was fifty-tive years old,
and leaves wife and two children.
He was a good writer and forcible
and at times eloquent speaker, and had
done effective work but the vice OF
intemperance, which in early manhood
had fastened its hold upon him, occa-
sionally got the better of him, and it
was one of these periodical mis-steps
that brought him to this sad end. His
death conveys temperance lesson far
greater than any that poor Adds elo-
quent tongue ever pictured.

Rev. George b. Spalding, ID. D., of
Dover, y. H., has declined the offer of
being managing editor of the proposed
new Congregational paper in Boston,
representing the liberal element of the
denomination. 1t is now reported that
he will receive call to Congrega-
tional church of Manchester. 1t is
thought that there is only one reason
that may possibly induce him to leave
Dover, and that is the fact that the
climate of that city, being near the
sea, does not agree with his family. A
man who can command Il salary of
$1,000 year would be very foolish to
become the head of paper established
in IL spirit of antagonism to the Con-
gregationalist. The paper wouldn't be
likely to give him that salary.

in the political assessment case of n.
VI. Curtis. The cOmsttutionalitv of
the law under which Curtis was con-
victed is affirmed and petition for IL

was convicted under an act passed Au-
gust ID, 1876, and Chief Justice Waite,
i'll delivering the opinion, said that the
law does not prohibit all contributions
of money and property by officers and
employees of the government for politi-
cal purposes, nor does it prohibit them
from receiving or soliciting money or
property for such purposes. 1t simply
torbids their receiving from or giving
to each other. Curtis was remanded
to the custody of the marshal.

BRADsTREET $, of the 18th inst,
in speaking of the bill which has
passed both houses of Congress and
received the Presidents signature,
enabling National Banks to renew
their charter, says:
"The act practically takes the ques-
ton OF the continuance of the national
banking system out of politics for
twenty years. 1t is now possible for
any of the existing banks to renew
their charters for that period, and
for new banks to obtain charters for
that length of time, and, in the pres.
ent condition of politics, it is not
probable that any anti-national bank
party will be sufficiently strong in
the country to secure in any one
Congress the support of the two
houses and the approval of the Presi
dent for a measure which would
abolish the existing system. 1t may
be said, therefore, that the national
point, and have headed off ill possible
sinister results of any greenback agi-
tatiOn for years to come. BY the
time the renewal of the national
banking system shall again become Il
practical issue, it is to he hoped that
with the advance of education and
the continuance of prosperity the fall
lacies and sophistries upon which the
greenback craze is founded will have
disappeared.
The immunity which national
banks have heretofore enjoyed from
being sued in State courts no longer
exists. National banks i'm States, ex-
cept us to writs between then and
the United States, are now placed on
exactly the same footing as State
banks.
The rights ofminority stockholders
In national banking associations are
protected as they have not been be-
fore. 1t will now he impossible for
any rank to secure an extension of
its charter. without paying a fair
price for his stock to every minority
holder. 1t is not possible for Il ina
jority to "freeZe out" the minor
holders ut any price which the ma
iority may fix.
The difference which has existed
between large and small banks hav-
ing circulation Is abolished. All
banks, large or small, can obtain 80
per cent. of circulation on their capi-
tai stock, and may issue 100 per cent
on 4 and ~ per cent. bonds.
