The Punishment of Crime.

There is a law not enacted by legisls-
tive bodies that punishment shall follow
crime. Criminals do cot stand on cer-
emony or consult the finer feelings OF
their victims WHEN engaging in their
schemes. No crime is TOO outrageous
for them To attempt il The fear OF pun
ishment is removed. and absolutely no
tenderness or dsiicacy nt theirs is to,er-
ated between them and The ends they
desire. The tender hearted william Is no

fact that crime fears nothing bat pun

since the days OF he reformation has
been less upon certain classes, who
would be otherw ise easily tempted.
The foolish heartedness hich
has developed among a class of people
with good intentions, but with little
knowledge of bad human nature, has
succeeded in enforcing the demand for
milder penalties, until to-day many
penal Institutions are palaces OF idle
rest, which criminals do not dread,
and wherein vaga5Onds solicit and re-
ceieve a glorious vacation from the bur
dens of a working life-well housed.

rapidly coming when law-abidIng citi~
Zans will demand the enforcement

nothing so much as a bodily pain. The
penalty that demands the whipping of

brutality infinitely more than modern
Imprisonment, while for the punishment

that implies bodily discomfort must be
provided with which TO threaten the

THE Australian ballot system says
the Philadelphia Times has already
been embodied in the laws of several of
the States. Similar bills are now under
consideration in the Legislatures of
several others, Pennsylvania among the
number. The proposed law was intro
duced into the State Senate at Harris
burg by Senator Macfar!ane, of this
city, ard into the House by Representa-
tive Baker, of Delaware county. The
proposed act embodies two vital princi-
ples-the absolute secrecy of the ballot,
the voter being completely insulated
from all others while preparing his bal
lot, ard the printing of the tickets by
the State, thus not only enabling poor
man to be candidate, but destroying the
pretext under which the corrupt use of
money at elections is at present excused
and tolerated.
The passage OF this act, while iuvOlV-
log some additional expense at the
onset, would doubtless greatly promote
purity ct elections. The bill should
become q Law before the legislature
adjourns. Any system that viii elimi-
nate the party heeler aud :he corrupt
use Of money At our elections Is worth
adoption, even though the expense to
the State bo considerable at first.

Outside of the United States, - says
Mr.. Joseph ID. Weeks, secretary of the
Iron and Steel Association, prices of
crude iron have advanced materially
and the tendency is decidedly upward,
while il the United States there is
quietness, and if there is any tendency
1t Is not, at least, toward any marked
increase i'm prices" 10 Great Britain
''the cost of production is increased by
the enhanced value of the raw ironstone,
the cost of the labor in smelling, and
the higher price of coal and coke. All
around there has been an Increase in
wages owing to the operation of the
sli1iding scales. In the Uni
ted States, on the other hand. every
condition is the opposite of this. The
stocks of pig iron, instead of decreasing,
have been increasing. Wages
have decreased here, instead of in
creasing, as they have in England.
The reductions Of wages since the first
of the year IN the valleys of Pennsyl>
vsnie, east and west, are well known. s"
The workingman would like the Repub-
lican newspapers 20 tell the cause of
this deplorable condition of affairs in

The meeting was callc( to order by cx-Governor II. NJ. Rector, at l2 m. After the organization was com plctcd. q Committee of Permanent Organization was appointed, and m dnc time this committee reported a constitution and bylaws to the body, which were adopted with great en- thusiasm and unanimity.

Fletcher, of Little Rock. was elected President of the Association the other officers also were duly elected, all of whom are citizens of high character.
 A provision was made for the for nation of auxiliary societies in any part of the State, upon application of five ex-Confederatcs to the Secretary of the State Association and 1t Is earnestly desired by the movers and friends of this noble cause that steps in furtherance of this object be taken as speedily as possible, so as to in- sure the success of this laudable movement. Over SC, 900 have al- ready been raised in and around Little Rock for the establishment of this home for worthy but disabled soldiers; and the appeal that is now being made in such q righteous and patriotic cause, ought to evoke a warm and liberal response from the heart of every true philanthropist.
 We understand that q Society has already been formed in this county for the promotion of the objects of this Association. Let the citizens of Nevada county rally to it's support, and contribute cheerfully to the en- dowment of q permanent home for our indigent exConfederate soldiers,
