_liTZOZzn i*_i_i_ gridaj ^orninjt^ofembergO,,18Za. I Justice ana intolerance?A. Contrut. ?enaior oU??Dcr, of Massachusetts, hoc in his day boon foremost among, extrom ists in opposition to the sooial system of the South. At the outset of_ bis oareer, he set himself keenly to the business of abolishing slavery; and when this was accomplished" as the result of the olvil war, he was just aa stern and exaoting in his efforts to seonre, by appropriate legis? lation, the nowly-enfranohiaed blaok race in their civil and political rights. We hive often thought that in tho pursuit of these objeots, ho was somotimos unrea? sonable, denunciatory and ungenexone. A tinge of intensity and prejudice, the remains of old strife, and unpleasant personal oxperiouce, seemed to stain his feelings, and, on many occasions, to im? part bitterness to his language. Bot at last, when his work was done, his nature underwent a ohange for the better. The partisan disappeared, and the statesman Toso to view. Dignity, equanimity, tole? rance and enlightened polioy henceforth characterized hie oourse. Like Horace GiG?Icj, he bcried the memories of old strife, and presented a front of kindness and consideration towards those against whom be had long stood in hostile atti? tude. In reply to the taunts of Speaker Blaine, who, ghoul-like, sought to revive unpleasant reminiscences of tho per? sonal enoonnter between him and Pres? ton Brooks, he nobly said, that he had never . cherished resentment ngainst Brooks while living, and would be the last to disturb his remains in the grave. He undo no publio reply to similar objur? gations of Dr. Francis Lieber, who, Boon after the attempt to fix upon Sumner the inconsistency of forgiveness,'was himself called to his long home and final account. Senator Sumner has lately stirred an? other hornet's nets of indignant' remon? strance and vituperation from some small heroes and unappeasect warriors, because he has proposed, on the floor of1 the Senate, to eraaefrom the flags of the republic'and the register of the army all inscriptions, mementoes and tokens'(of the battles andr viatories qi tho Union, armjun th^Jaxa war. -He has beefr called quickly to account for thin attempt to re? move from the view of oflioe.ra and troops, who are henceforth to bo Beloc tod from all seotions of the country alike, the boaits and : trophies whioh marked' the nnhappy contest between them. He has been roundly denounced by those who neither share nor appreciate his spirit, and sagaoity. .Jn the Jlassachu setts Legislature, a Mr. Hoyt has offered a preamble and resolutions, whioh de? signate Senator Samnor's timely and sensible action as an "attempt to de? grade the loyal soldiers of the nation and their grand achievements," and as worthy of "unqualified condemnation." This squeaking voice, like that of the grumbling Thersites, would be best sup? pressed by a treatment similar to that received by the ancient worthy at the hands of Ulysoes, and by the oppro? brium of a similar brand fixed upon him as the meanest man in the army. Men of real achievement are not so tenacious of little things, not so unrelenting in temper, nor so poveity-strioken in re? sources of honor and credit, as to oling as their last hope of renown to the flaunting symbols which perpetnate en? mity and rancor. They bnry the hatchet, oloae the bloody chasm of division, turn their backs upon what is revolting in the pa?t, and are content to remit to the pages of history and tho judgment of after times the records, memorials and traditions whioh oonoern it. As we write, despatches inform.us that the resolution of Mr. Hoyt has buon adopted by a dooisive vote in both branohes of the General Assembly of Massachusetts. But vote they never so fiercely, they cannot dint the good name or hurt the olear oonsoionoe of their Se? nator. His purpose will be approved and admired, when they are all dust and forgotten. Bo shines a good deed in a naughty world. Mr. Hoyt and tho Le? gislature at his back appear to decided disadvantage in tho light of Sumner's good sense and magnanimity, outsido of the bounds of Massachusetts, at least. A genuine sensation occurred in the House on Wednosday last, in which war taunts were exchanged between Repub? licans and Democrats. Two Pennsyl? vania Senators wero the belligerents. The rumpus was oaused by the discus? sion of tho Soldiers' Homestead bill? "liar" and "oopporhcud" were bandied about like shuttle cocks, but all in Pick? wickian sense. Looking through the glasses of tho opposition, tho wholo af? fair, to our vision, soems darker than the squabbles of our Knights D'Afriqno in the adjustment of their heated do bates in the halls of Southern legislation. There are about 700 prisoners at Alba? ny from different States. R?e'?u. The Genoral Assembly takes a reo ess from to-dav^n$il the Jtfc^pf Jawutry. This a good lon& breathing Bpejl, within whjob the mqiubors may recruit them? selves from jftxeir arduous legislative labors by Christmas dinners and New Year festivities.' Wo trust that they may be sufficientlyrenewed in strength to take vigorous hold of the work which remains for them to do. The election of Senator was very exhausting to. many memb ers. The canvass lasted nearly the whole of tho session, and the conse? quences are apparent in the fatigued and bla$a appearance of the most active par? ticipants. They are entitled to rest from their toils, and to have an opportunity to enjoy themselves at home In the bosom of their families, after this signal aorvioo to their country. The business, so far, has been of un? important character, except the tax bill. That has been examined and discussed with considerable care. It was the one measure without wbioh tho others could not be set in motion. It was tbe great wheel which tarns all the rest. It was necessary, therefore, to set it agoing first. This was done in haste, and be? fore proper examinations of the items oi deficiencies could be made Tbe levy, as amended by tho Senate, calls for seventeen mills. This is enough, in all oomoience; and yet, large as it is, we havo no doubt that it will fall short of tbe demands, whose name is legion. And, behind all ibis, looms up, threaten? ing to break in storm over tho beads of the people, tbe dark cloud of bonded debt and interest. As we have said, there are some good measures before tbe Legislature, to which we bope they will gfvo serious at? tention upon tbeir return. There are Some oxcolleut members, too, in tbe body, intelligent, bard-working, dis? creet and experienced. We trust that their good influence will be folt and seen more conspicuously after tho reoess. Tbe oommittoea bavo done a fair amount of work. We have notioed particularly that those of Ways and Means, Agri? culture and the Judiciary bavo been creditably industrious and judicious in their recommendations. i . i > ? ?'The Lee Memorial at Lexington.? Tbe Lee Memorial Association, incorpo? rated by the Legislature 9! Virgin in, and organised:.' for "the purpose of plaoiug a suitable memorial over the remains of Gen. Leej at Lexington,..Virginia, has made an appeal through its chairman, 'Rev;; W. N. Pendleton, (formorly an officer of the United States army, and chief of artillery under Gen. Lee,) for aid in completing the plan selected by the distinguished sculptor, Valentine, of Richmond, with whom tho asaooiation made a contraot for the preparation and erection of tbe memorial. -The oast of the work in plaster has been completed by Mr. Valentine, and is spokeu of in the circular just issued by tbe assooiution as admirable in its "very improsaive likeness, and tbe entire work, as a speci? men of art, is in every way worthy of its great subject." The design is a sarco? phagus, with a full-sized recumbent figure of Gen. Lee, to be cut from tbe purest marble. The total cost of tho work will be $20,000, of which $5,000 have been already contributed. At a re? cent meeting of tho survivors of tbe Army of Northern Virginia it was de? termined to appeal to the ladles of tbe ?outh to hold memorial meetings ou tbe next anniversary of the birth of Gen. Lee, 20th Jauuary, 1873, ami,take such measures as they may deem best for col? lecting money on that day, to bo especi? ally appropriated to that object. The Political Organization op the French AS3EHBLY.?There aro 700 mem? bers in the National Assembly (legisla? tive body) of France, now in session at Versailles, the condition of Paris, poli? tically and socially, being snob that it is considered unsafe for these representa? tives of tho people to assemble in tho Chamber of Deputies on the bank of tbe Seine. Various attempts have been made to unalyze tbe party organization in tbe Assembly. The latest, which is believed to approximate tho truth more nearly than any other, is based upon classification of tho various newspapers. It bas boon done as follows: Tbe Orleau ist (Right Centre,) represented by the Journal de Paria, consists of 30 mem? bers; .tho Conservative-Republican (Loft Centre,) by the Dien Public, he Soir, &c, 140 members; tbo Radical, by Ln Republique Francaisa, 130 mombers; ex? treme Radical, by Le Rappel, 40 mem? bers; tbo Ultramontane, by tbo Union aud tbo Gazelle de Franco, 70 members; tho Ultramontane, by the Univers, 30 mcmbors; Ultramontane Legitimist, by tho Monde, 30 mcmbors; tbe Doubtful Monarchical, by the Journal des Debals, 30 members; and tbe avowod Bonapart ists, without any declared organ, 20 mombers. These sum up a total of G10 out of tbo 750 members of the Assembly. -??. * A nouniBLE Crime.?It is stated that Teranco D?lau, a laborer, of Mauhattaus ville, New York, wont homo drunk on Monday night and roasted bis infant son, three years old, to death on a red hot stove. t ? ??'i '11 "i,, :m>. .i.i? n?gsa ? nn?? i The Regent BunNma Disa8t,?IU-?We have been furnished with stho following particulars of tbij^affair: w,-\ ^ ' Vol TnescUy night, ab^libAlf.p^ 10 o'clock, as tho .Southern bound pas? senger train over? tho Wilmington, Oo lambTa and Augurs Baibssd wHbi? two miles of Fair Bluff, N. O., the train was thrown from the track bj coming in oontaet with a broken roil, the ?hock sending a thrill of horror through the, unsuspecting passengers. Apprehensions of being crushed to death, howevert soon gave place to a new terror, when fire broke ont among the wrecked ears, the flames rapidly spreading from one to another. The fire raged until the first and second class passenger coaches and two Pullman sleeping cars were totally oonsumed. The ongino and express and I baggage car were saved. None of the passengers are reported hnrt, and they were most hospitably oared for at Fair Bluff by Mrs. Brothers. Borne of the passengers soooeeded in saving their baggage, while others lost all. The train conductor and Pullman's conductor were untiring in their efforts to make the pas? sengers comfortable, and Mr. O. M. Sadler, of the Southern Express Com? pany, rendered groat asaistanoe to the ladies. At the time of tho accident, it was raining, and the passengers were all compelled to stand shivering in tho swamp for about an hour, when the train hands sncoeeded in getting the I locomotive and baggage oar in order again. The train is a total wreck. I $50,000 will not cover the loss of rolling stock." Punishing Official Thievery.?The extent of the leaks in the public Trea? sury, arising from ofllciul dishonesty, has become a matter of snob oonoern that Secretary Bontwel) proposes a law to prevent a curtain class of official stealing. He would make it a penal offence for ail disbursing officers and all clerks and agents to convert to their own use or lend, with or without interest, tho pnblio moneys, and also for bankers and brok? ers to receive loans of public moneys from such persons. The Act of 18G6, of which this is an amendment; does not meet the case of all officers, but only special grades. While the law ought to be made general and stringent, we agree with the New York Journal <>f Commerce, that howevor strong Mr. Boutwoll may make the law, it will not be of much use, if defaulters and, embezzlers are to be treated with. mistaken lenionoy in the future as in the past. Whilst the Go? vernment has persisted in enforcing penalties on political prisoners, as in most of tho so-called Ku Klux cases, with an unrelenting baud, it has either not prosecuted with rigor and prompti? tude official thieves who plunder the Treasury of tho hard-earned contribu? tions of tho people, or pardoned them from prison soon after they were eent there*. The proposed amendment to the law of I860 will not be effectual, unless there can bo less of misplaoed clemency to tho culprits and moro of justice to the poople, and unless public sentiment affixes the same stigma to public as indi? vidual robbery. Tho official who is guilty of the last is as much worse than au ordinary thief as a bauk officer who robs tho institution of which he is an agent is than a professional burglar. In both cases, tho betrayal of confidence is added to the crime of stealing. [Baltimore Sun. * ? ? ? A QUAttREIi TO THE DEATH.?At 7 o'clock, Monday evening, John Sim? mons and Nicholas II. Duryea, well known lottery dealers, engaged in a desperate struggle in frout of a restau raut on Liberty street, N. Y. Simmons succeeded in throwing Duryea, and then stubbed him repeatedly with a dirk, causing almost instant death. Sim? mons, after the homicide, took refugo in a neighboring saloon, where ho was arrested soon afterwards; but in getting away he fell, fracturiug the 1 >wer bones of his anklo. Simmons nud i .o body of bis victim woro brought to tho police station, where Simmons refused to make any statement when iuterrogatod by tho officer in charge, and persisted in his re? fusal when visited by reporters. Duryea was about thirty years of age, of gnu tool appearance, light build, aud lived at Port Richmond, Staten Island, where ho leaves a wife and two children. Tho cause of tho fatal quarrel is not known, but it is supposed to bo connected with tho lottery business, in which they were cug'iged. The Ain LiNE Railway.?There is much delay in tho construction of tho lino in this vicinity, owing to tho diffi? culty in procuring cross-tie?. Between Greenville and Spartanburg the.-o arc about fifteen miles of traok to lay down, besides the erection of two or throe bridges. Toward tho Georgia side, tho truck has boon laid to Saluda River, and the bridgo over that stream is now nearly completed. Beyond that point there remains considerable work to bo done. We do not believo the whole lino will be in running order for three or four months yet. ? Greenville Mountaineer.

Tho Washington correspondent of the Baltimore 'Sun says that "the President has concluded to pardon nil persons now under conviction for Ku Klux offences, whero such is asked for by their repnta blo neighbors."

In tho case of John T. Craig and others, charged with conspiracy, Judge Bond addrossed the jury as follows: Gentlemen op the Jury: It is not my province to comment on the facts offered in evidence iu this case, but to give you tho law which mast guide you in tho consideration of the evidence in refer once to this indictment. Under the Erst count, you are to find from the evidonco whether or not there existed a conspiracy iu the County of Laurens beforo tho (iuding of this indictment; and if you find thcro existed a conspiracy, you are then to find whether its object, or one of its objects, was thut sot forth iu this count, to wit: To hinder, prevent or re? strain a class of persons from voting, by reuson of their color, rnco or provious condition of servitude. Tho first count does not embrace a com piracy formed to punish that elsss of voters because the" had voted; but you must find, in order to convict under that count, that tho conspirators looked to prevent that class of persons from voting thereafter. As has been stated to you, geutlemen, by connsol, a conspiracy is an agreement formed by two or moro persons to do an unlawful act. It is not necessary that tho act should actually be done. Tho crime is complete when two or more per? sons have oousented togothor, or agreed with one another, to bring the unlawful result about. But it is absolutely neces? sary, if you find the conspiracy was formed, that you find its object was to do tho thing which is charged to have been its object iu the first count in tbo indict? ment. And while it is trne that this agreement must have existed before the acts mentioned in tho evidence, which are offered to provo it, nevertheless it is not necessary that the conspiracy should have oxisted for any prescribed length cf time. Tho only duration required is that which is necessary to enablo tho minds of tho conspirators to form and agrco upon the common purpose. If tho jury find from tho evidence the existenco of the conspiracy chargod in tho iudictment, having tho purpose charged, then it is necessary that the jury should find that the parties were members of it, aud had each agreed and cousoutcd to tho.common unlawful pur? pose. But if tho jury believes from tho evidence that what is charged as a con? spiracy was a riot, or mob, or sadden outbreak, which had no common purpose or agreement, or il it had a common pur? pose it did not have the purpose dharged in .the. indictment, then tho parties are not guilty, under Ihe first count, even thodgh the jury may find they partici? pate'.1 in the riotous proceeding*. Two of the remaining counts of the indictment, gentlemen, charge that a conspiracy was formed to punish Wade Porrin and Samuel DeHay, the persons whose names are set forth in the re? spective counts, beoanse thoy had pre? viously voted in the particular manner set out. What I have said about conspiraoy applies to these oouute. They only differ from the first count in that they charge a different purpose for the con? spiracy, and that purpose, you must find, was *6ne of the purposes of the con? spiraoy, before yon find the prisoners guilty,, if yon flod they were members of it. To determine tbe purpose of the con? spiracy, gentlemen, if you find there was one, yoa are at. liberty to consider what the parties engaged in it said, and the nets they did in concert cr by agree? ment in furtherance of it. There oan be no better way to determine what a company of persons agreed or conspired to do than to find out what they did in furtherance of their agreement, aoting together or in oonoert. It is seldom possible to prove by tbe words, either written or oral, of the conspirators, what their purpose was. You sometimes may find that conspiracies are not generally formed in public, and you are left to the conduet of those who belong to them to determine the intention of the combina? tion. I felt it my duty, gentlemen, to say to you that, Biaoe this case has been so lung on trial, and the mass of testimony, relevant and irrelevant, is sb great, that you will be required, in obedience to your outh, to give it long and patient in? vestigation. -You owe it to the Govern? ment, which is jealous of the liberty of the citizen, and wishes none but the guilty punished, and you likewise owe it to these prisoners who are jointly in? die ted, to give eaoh of their cases that patient, careful and deliberate investiga? tion that you would give it were he alone on trial before you. Tbe Government is bound to make out its theories of tbe guilt of these parties of tbe crime charged, to tbe ex? clusion of every theory of their inno? cence which accords with the facts; and every reasonable doubt?and by that.I mean a doubt whioh is founded on a good reason, and a doubt .for which you can givo a good reason?you ara bound to give to the prisoners at tbe bar. Yon may, gentlemen, find each party guilty or not guilty of one or more of the counts m the iudictment, or you may find some guilty and others not guilty, or you may find a verdict of i guilty or not guilty generally. The 'jury then retired. All tbe jurors except those on this panel were- die- '-' charged from attendauoo on this term. Tbe court theu adjourned until Friday, at 10 A. M. Elibu O.
