WIN. DEATLEY INsANE.-From
Frankfort Capital, Sept. 3d.-Yes-
terday afternoon the steamer Burn
side arrived from Eddyville having
on board one hundred and twenty
prisoners from the branch peniten-
tiary that were sent here to take
the places of like number Of pris-
oners who were physically unable
to work, and were sent to Eddy
vile last Friday. The prisoners
were accompanied by twelve guards
under the command of Capt.
Sharpley. When the last transfer
of prisoners was made from this
prison to Eddyville five men escap-
ed, and great credit is due Capt.
Sharpley and his men for accom-
plishing the exchange without the
loss of a man.
On the down trip a prisoner
named Bill Deatley, who is subject
to fits of insanity, was threatened
with one of his "spells," and the
doctor on board, a prisoner, advised
that the irons be taken off of Deaf
ley, thinking that would quiet him.
While Captain Sharply and guard
Davis were removing the handcuffs
Deatley seized a pisto! out of the
scabbard at Davis side and at
tempted to kill them.
Guard Kersey, who was standing
close by noticed the movement, and
quick as a fash felled Deatly with
the butt of Winchester. But for
the watchfulness and quick action
on the part of Kersey a tragedy
would have occurred.
This was the only incident wor-
thy of note that happened on the
trip, the prisoners as rule being
very well behaved.
During the night the men were
confined to the upper cabin, but in
the daytime they were brought
down on the lower deck where they
could see the banks and catch the
fresh air,

POLITICAL ETHICS.

The science of politics has grown
out of the existence of the State, and
the State, like society and the family,
is divine institution. 1t is the nat
ural result of the exercise of the So
cial and ethical natures with which
God has endowed man. DR.. Lieber.
in his able work on political Ethics"
claims that the State is moral per-
son, and this is endorsed by Chancel-
lor Kent, Judge Thayer, and Judge
Story. The ground of this doctrine
is that the State is constituted of men,
and men are moral persons. The
whole must partake of the nature of
its constituent parts; men being moral
persons, the State constituted of men
must be endowed with moral person
ality. States are not made, they grow;
and growth is proof that they are vital
and organic. They possess vitality,
unity, continuity and activity. They
are under moral law, form moral
judgments, sustain moral relations,
build moral character, and have
moral history. They are, therefore,
moral persons and as such are ethical
communities and have important du-
ties. Here we find the ground of
political ethics. 1t is the science of
political duties. 1t gives to politics
moral character.
We know it is claimed that States,
as political communities, arise under
physical conditions, and are devel-
oped under natural laws. This does

1.-THE DOCTRINE OF FIXITY."

1.-THE Church." the newly estab-
lished Episcopal journal of Boston,
makes bold to say that
1t is a popular fallacy that the doc
trine of hell has been eliminated from
Christian theology. What has been
eliminated is the doctrine of the fxity
of the state after death. This doctrine,
which has had such strong hold upon
Professionalism that it's remnants are still
frequently found in the minds of the
adherents of traditional orthodoxy, has
nevertheless passed away forever with
the predominance of the doctrine of de-
velopment. 1t is never likely to be for
gotten again that very essential part
OF Christ's triumph over death was the
revelation of the truth that death can
be no barrier to progress. The germ of
truth in the old doctrine of fixity, name
ly the awful responsibilities attaching to
every opportunity-not least the oppor-
tunity of life-is recognized now as re-
ceiving stronger snd nobler emphasis in
the thought of progress through and
beyond the grave and gate of death.
We quote the above not to object,
or to criticise the underlying thought
expressed, but to call the readers at
tention to a new term in religious
discussion. The doctrine of the
eternity of punishment after death
is described as "the doctrine of fixitY"
an original, if not felicitous term.
Certainly eternal punishment did
six" the sinners condition beyond
the grave-"fxed" it irreversibly and
beyond question. The doctrine eter-
nalized both the sinner and his sin
and made hell permanent and
"fixed" institution of the divine gov
eminent, precluding all possibility of
modification or change,
We would be pleased to believe
with our contemporary of the exclu-
sive name, that this conception of a
"fixed" and permanent hell in the
future world had entirely passed
away-that it had ended its dominion
over the minds of men.
But alas facts will not bear out the
pleasing idea. Whose proceeds on the
assumption that the "fixed" hell of
the future is no longer an element of
