The verdict of the Kentucky jury that
acquitted Congressman Phil Thompson,
who shot Walter b. Davis, the seducer of
his wife. calls forth various comments. 1t
is denounced by many sneeringly, as a
sample of Kentucky justice" ,Kentucky's
penal code and sensibilities may be loose
and obtuse enough; her grade of civiliza
ton may be depressed and fecked with
imperfections enough, but in Kentucky, or
elsewhere, the crime for which Davis was
shot, In the normal sensitiveness of q
healthy instinct, softens the charge of
murder into verdict of 'justifable homi-
eide" Murder, in no case, is admissible,
but If in any case it is excusable to slay a
fellow mortal at sight, it is when a wronged
and frenzied husband is brought face to
face with the heartless villain, who has,
with the Shiny wiles of the serpent, crept
into his home to ruin it, and forever destroy
his domestic peace. There is an attempt
being made to inhame vengeance against
Phil Thompson, by depicting the woe of
the widow of Davis, who twill sit amid the
ruins of her home, where no ray will pene-
trate it save as chilling illumination of
its desolation." This is a touching pic
ture, but what of the ruined home of
Thompson, made forever desolate by the
brutal, salacious conduct of the vile adul-
terer? Davis had not only outraged the
home and domestic peace of Thompson,
but by usurping husbands place with
another mans wife, he had ruined and
darkened his own home, and committed
an objectionable ofense against his own
wife, whom he had sworn to love and cher
ish. Her desolation was complete before
Davis fell by the avenging bullet of
wronged husband. It may be difficult to draw
the line of demarkation in case like this
between the sickly sentimentality evoked
demands of justice against the crazed hus-
band, who in a moment of maddened and
uncomfortable fury at the sight of the
seducer of his wife, took the law of ven
geance into his own hands. But let the
sentimentalist who deplores the desolation
of Davis home not forget the exasperat-
ing sorrow brought upon another home,
by the foul seducer who fills and adulter-
er's dishonered grave. If the fate of Davis
may be warning to others to keep their
base feet from sacred, forbidden ground
and pleasures, the swift vengeance of his
taking of, and the acquittal of his execu-
toner may not have been in vain.

The Rioting Miners.

ST.. LOUIS, May 26-Accounts from Col
insville, ILL.,, this morning report every
thing quiet. Two companies of militia,
one from Edwardsville and the other from
Taylorsville, are on the ground and no
further trouble at that place or in that
vicinity is apprehended.
Col. Berkeley, of the 9TH regiment, ma
tional guards, is in command of the troops
and deputy sheriff Rogland, of st. Clair
County, and sheriff Halsey, of Madison
county, are there with civil posses. The
Abbey company's two pits, which work by
machinery, the Confidence and Brookside
mines and two pits of the Collins
vile company, all of which employ
only non-union miners, resumed work
this morning. The mines are on the
Vandalia railroad and there is no
further danger of molestation so long
as the authorities guard them. The strik-
ers offered no opposition to the militia, nor
to the civil posses, and have left the neigh
borhood. The only other mines in oper-
alton in st. Clair county are at Marissa,
near Belleville. The strikers have ordered
them to shut down, but since both the
county and state authorities have taken
such active measures to preserve order
and protect men willing to work, it is not
likely they will make any demonstration
there. 1t looks now as though the trouble
was ended, but whether the miners will
generally resume work at once, is not
known. 1t is said that the operators are
willing to pay the miners 21 cents, the
price demanded by them for digging, but
refuse to submit to other terms and con-
ditions imposed. Probably a compromise
will be effected in few days when opera
tions throughout the district will be re-
aumad

TIMELY TOPICS.

THERE seems to be no end of tampering
with the sacred scriptures. A new oracle
dlas arisen professedly to shed new light
1pon the Bible; but only partially to dark
en- counsel" One "Rev." Mr.. Schermerhorn
has arisen as new light on the horizon of
Biblical literature, He is, OR was a Unita-
rlan minister, first in Boston, then in New
port, R. L, but at present counts himself
as pastor of "Theistic Church" in the
city of New York. If this is not an athe-
istic church, it is safe to assume it is not
a church of Jesus Christ; and it is also safe
to infer from his Biblical criticisms that
he is not loyal to the Bible. He sets a
side its inspiration, and is to all lntents
an infdel unbeliever. From the Old and
New Testament he selects, combines
and retranslates according to his own good
pleasure, asserting that "Bibles are CYCLIC
pedias." that the Christian Bible us not
well adapted to common use," that 1t is
valuable as book of reference, but for
practical purposes confusing, cumbersome
and inconvenient, simply book among
books,'' and he discards its authenticity as
q divine oracle. He assumes that the
Gospels are put forth under assumed
names, by their authors, or compilers.
This exceptionally enlightened gentleman
therefore, with the benevolent design of
showing the world what they may, and
may not safely believe, has in large vol
ume given copious selections from both
The Old and New Testaments of our Chris
tian Bible; and added thereto selections
which he claims to be Of equal value and
reliability from Persian, Egyptian, Hindoo,
Buddhist, Chinese, Roman, Grecian and
Arabian Scriptures" and from the writ
ings OF Plato, Pluterch and Epictetus,
with view of presenting book, for pull
pit and general use, far superior to the BIZ
ble. The result is, this unbelieving, pre-
tentious, scholastic ignoramus has succeed
ed in presenting in book form conglomer-
ated, useless, worthless mass of trash, that
will fall still born from the press, and the
superclllious compiler may, perhaps, live
to be amazed at the stupendousness Of
his own folly, in trying to supplant the
Christian scriptures. This is an era, pecu-
liar for its endless crude forms of weak,
skeptical, foolish, uubelief, man-devised
systems, to overthrow the inspired word of
God.

GEN. GRANT is fast losing his holdupon
the respect and confidence of the American
people. He came to the head of the army
of theiPotomac, when the rebellion exhaust
ed and weakening, was rapidly reaching
its final collapse. His way has been pre-
pared by the discipline of the army of the
Potomac by preceding able commanders,
and he was supported by some of the
bravest men. able and skillful military
officers of the time, as we'll as by an army
unexcelled, if equgled by vigorous courage.
Add to this his immense supplies of addi-
tional men, furnished by the government
at his call, to supply his ruthless waste of
the lives OF brave men, in the murderous
and needless slaughter of soldiers in the
battles of the wilderness. But he was in
at the death of the failing rebellion at APP
pomattox, and hence to him was awarded
more credit than he ever deserved as the
conqUerer of the rebellion. His drivelirp
co urse since has been such as to make
heavy drafts upon his fame He was
placed at the head Of the national admin
istration, which proved to be the most cor
rupt and demoralizing of any in the his
tory of the Republic. His unpatriotic at
tempt to grasp third term marked him
as utterly unworthy. The people general

The vote was finally taken, and he was de-
fested by large majority. This is sig
