AS soon as man is detected i'm
crime in these latter days the inevi-
table plea in his defense is INSANITY
If he commits murder, he is insane;
if he commits arson, he is a mono
maniac; if he steals, he is a clepto-
maniac; if he does anything known
to the catalogue of crimes there is
always some BETTING mania to be
imputed as the cause leading there
to. If this is allowed to continue
we viii soon have no use for the
penetentiary, .jails, the gallOws OF
other means of punishment. We
will have to tear them all down and
build one rousing insane asylum for
the unfortunate cOmmittOrs of crime.
If the law was rigidly enforced
and some of the insane ~ hung, we
would have less criminal action in
the land and less work for criminal
courts.

Mr.. HARRISON has it still in his
power, Notwithstanding his apparent
wreckless disregard of the South in
the selection and formation of his
Cabinet, to make his administration
lasting benefit to the entire nation.
The question now is, will he do it?
Will he turn a deaf ear to the vile
intriguers whose only motive is party
perpetuity and personrl advance and,
with an eye single to patriotic duty,
embrace the. whole country in his
acts and recommendations hereafter
to be made? If so, he will win the
confidence of the people of all sec
tons and continue the nation in grand
and universal advance We wait
with patience his further acts, ere we
enter the list Of the harsh and Censo-
rious, and shall indulge in hope until
it ceases to be virtue.

WHENEVER the issue is positively
narrowed down to a fight between
merit and money it is pretty tolerable
safe to bet on the side of money every
time. Thus sayeth the press and
thus the people are quick to believe.
Oh! the depth of the moral turpitude
of any people whose love of lucre is
greater than their love of like. This
state of things will not be permitted
to 90 much further. The limit is
now well-nigh past. God. the great
Governor of Nations, will not be
supplanted by the unrighteous Nam
mon whose dominion can only domi-
nate to the utter damnatiOn of men.
Men without means are largely in
the majority in this country and they
must rise up in the majesty of their
strength and in all the manhood of
manly virtue to stem the current OF
the age and assert the claims of virtue
and intelligence. If money makes
men great it is done by permission
of the people, the poor people of the
land. If it can over ride virtue and
Judgment and crush out the indus
trious and deserving, the learned and
intellectually great, it is because the
vast majority of our people permit it
SO to do. The people, the poor men
and women Of the land are responsible
for the power of pelf in the land.

light a nearly complete set of the old records
Of the same which cover the period from 1862
to 1856, and embrace the court proceedings
and land records, only nine years of the for
mer and Eve volumes Of the latter being
wanting. He has, however, brought to light
maay old historical volumes which have not
been accessible to the public for generati ms,
and has carefully arranged them in cfopo-

was claimed for it. The machine is simple

further claims that the work will be vastly

Bridge at Cox's MilI.-How to build

Bridge at COX's MilI.-How to build a
substantial new bridge at Cox's Mill for a
small amount seems to be puzzler to the en-
gineer, Captain Page, and to all Others who
have examined the proposed site. The engi-
neer is Of the opinion that If constructed IN
the ordinary manner it will again be carried
away, and favors stone or brick abutments on
which the bridge is to rest. But if that plan
is adopted, when completed, it will cost some
where in the neighborhood of 81, 900, and it
is likely that the commissioners will favor
some other style by which the cost can be les
sened. We are of the opinion, that although
the cost may appear excessive, the commits
sioners will find that the plan suggested by
Captain Page will prove the cheapest in the
end. Work half done never pays.
