Tho Appeal of. this morning notices them, and gives n sad commentary on tho morals of St Louis in tho following manner: As Bad as Wk. A Cincinnati pa per says: Wo givo tho following in cident indicating tho stato of society in a moral town known ns St. Louis. A crowd had gathered on a corner, and nn excited individual, panting with heat, rushed up to tho scene, ox- claiming: "What's tho matter?" "Only a man killed," was tho reply. "Oh I is that all t" I've been run ning like h 1 and d jiatipn. I thought it was a dog-fight." This might not bo inapplicable to Memphis wo had only threo shooting affairs yesterday. m A Teacher of vocal music asked an old lady if her son had any ear for uiusio ? "Wa'al," said tho old woman, I rnaly don't know; won't you just take the candle and eee?" 'A Good Time." The following excellent description of n Democratic jne-nte is from tlio ed itori.il correspondence of tho State Journal, dated Washington, Juno 20, 1807: Tho most Absorbing topic during tho past week has been the prizo fight, which took placo n few miles below here, on tho Virginia side of the Poto mac, between Uarncy Aaron, of New York, nnd Sam Collyer, of Baltimore. Sixty-eight rounds were fought, occu pying nearly two hours, when Aaron was declared tho victor. Collyer was stretched out on the ground insensible, with both eyes closed, face beat into a jelly, nnd head swollen as largo as two heads ; and Aaron fainted and was laid out beside him a few minutes niter wards. It is said that Alorrissey,"tlie leaderofthe Democracy in the House," won forty thousand dollars on the pleasant encounter, nnd that several thousand dollars changed hands. Spe cial steamers conveyed the sports from Baltimore nnd Philadelphia to the bat tle ground, and a steamer letl here at midnight with the champions, and sev en hundred of their fl Sends and backers patrons of "tlio manly art." They eamo near tearing the boat to pieces before they got to the landing. They caroused, drank, stole, robbed, "swore nnd tore," iu a manner that astonished tho oldest nnd most experienced sports. State rooms were broken open, and in discriminate robbery and pillage was the order of the night. -Men who start ed without n dollar, were seen beloru they got to the lauding, witli one hun dred and five hundred dollar bills, nnd one thousand dollar bonds, stolen fmm sitlmfu tlw lintl friiiat lirnii'i rwl i f lint , IHIIVin 1IIIU IIIHI LI'llV IIM I'llMH IU "I nc.i... ....... i...T. i. i .1.1.... .. .1.1.

This closed tho argument. Which? A colored witness was ex amined iu a Washington City court to prove tho identity of a whito man, tho other day. District Attorney "Did you fctotho man V" " Yei, sir, I seed him t" "Was he a whito man?" "Don't know, sir I" "Do you tell mo you saw tho man and cuu't say whether ho was white or black?" "Yes, sar, I seed him, but dar'a so many whito fellers calling demselvcs 'niggers,' round here, I cant tell one from another." W itness dismissed explanation sat isfactory. Salt lake City covers nine square miles, and is described by a correspond, cut aa ono of the most beautifully laid out cities in thu world. Tlio streets aro very wido with water running through nearly every ono of them, In China there aro seven grounds of divorce, of which tho fourth is talka tivcuesa in women, NO. 29 Justice to the Dead. A series of extraordinary verdicts have established tho fact as n principle injustice, il not m law, that n man may with impunity kill the seducer of a wo man who is legally or naturally uuder his protection. It is not contended that tlieso verdicts arc based in written law, but rather iu tho sense or sentiment of a majority of tho people. Thu princi ple, however dangerous in application, is the expression of tho finest and no blest impulse of thu human heart. Tho purity of woman is tho basis of our so cial structure. It is an essential ol that union of the sexe which alone furnishes nny security for tho proper training nnd education of otl'spriug. ithout marriage thero can bo no per manent family relations, no admitted tics of blood, no social system spring ing from conformance with generally accepted rules of morality, no harmo nious blending of the attributes of the sexes iu forming tho character of tho rising generation. Of all tho artificial relations iu society there is no other so sacred as the married relation; tiooth. er so generally approved by all classes of society iu all civilied countries of the earth. Heligious vary iu piiuciplo and iu form, but all religious hold sa cred the inairiago relation. New schools of philosophy tiudcrminu and overturn many of the ideas ol the past, but thu most daring innovators stand appalled at the mere thought of tho destruction of that beautiful system by winch manhood ami womanhood atu blended into one being, united by n mutual love, bound together by a mu tual trust, endowed with something liko immoitality by tho operation of the law of nature which enables them to reproduce themselves. Thu faith which human nature must have iu It self llinln no iiioio glorious expression than iu tho solemn act by which two beings entrust to each other thu I'utiiru tlieir whole lives. It is but natural, therefore, that so ciety should repel with nitiick mid ter rible punishment nny assault upon tho sanctity of this relation. The husband who has chosen from tho world of wo manhood ono to bo thu nngel of his household, the keeper of his heart, tho mother of his children, can conceive injury liko that which poisons tho source from which his doiuestio happi ness is to bu supplied, Tlio father who watches with fond pride thu budding charms (if his young daughter au shu develops into womanhood, can compre hend no crime like that which effects her ruin and covers with indelible dis grace thu idol of his home. Thu very capacity to love, and thu implicit trust which make woman what shu is iu her dillerent relations, aro often tho very weapon by which shu is cut asunder from thu liuu ol her duty. Love is us powerful for her degradation as lor her elevation, and thu iiillueuco it exerts over her life is determined by thu lift- turu who possesses it. But while recogui.ing a certain ele ment of justice iu thu sentiment that places tho life ofu seducer at thu mercy of thu inalu protector of the seduced, wo should remember that this, ns well us every other rulu of action that can bu invoked iu thu procurement of justice, is subject to abuse. In this offence, as iu all others, thero are degrees of criminality. It in pleasant to indulge iu tho sentimental idea that all women nro pure at heart, and that where theru is frailty tho burden of guilt rents with tho male. It is chivalrous to shift from the slender shoulders of buffering wo man all moral responsibility, and place it upon those of her companion iu crime. But that which is pleasant and chival rous is not ulways just, Somo consid eration is duo a man until thu degreo of his guilt is demonstrated. To shoot it man iu thu back and liu about him after ho is dead to avenge thu wrong and screen tho error of a faithless wife, is carrying tho principle of chivalry a little too far, While wu can admit that iu thu caso of a young girl led astray by false promises, thu blamo rests almost entirely with her betrayer, it is asking too much of one's credulity when thu attempt is made to crcato tho impression that a middle aged married woman can bo led into sin without guilt on her part. When tho husband takes the law into his own bands, and over tho dead body of his victim pub lishes palpablo falsehoods iu regard to tho nature ol tho crime he punishes, ho commits two offences against law nnd ono ngainst justice. If ho has a moral right to avenge himself on tlte despoil cr of his honor, ho has no right to ma lign tho dead. Iu making ono fa! so statement he invites suspicion in regard to tho statement which may bo true. When ho assorts ngatnst all human probability that tho wife whoso fall ho has avenged was an unwilling victim nt all. It is a principle- in law that ono perjury vitiates tho mass of testimony; nnd when nil our knowledge of thu guilt of thu murdered man comes through a witness who has vitiated his own testimony, nro wo not justified in receving a statement probable in it self with somo doubt of its truth, A man lies iu prison in Now York charged with thu murder of tho seducer of his wife. Of tho killing thero is no doubt; thu question is ns to thojustllU cation. Thu honilcldo asserts tbnt tho mnn ho killed had by force nnd intim idation maintained for threo yeais im proper relations with thu honrlclde'ii wife. Tho statement llrst given nnd supported by his wife's confession, is so palpably absurd that no ono gives it a second thought. Consequently tho plea is amended. Acquiescence on tho part of the wifu is admitted. Thu murdered man was not u forcible vlo later but a plausible seducer. Thu wife was not a victim of force, but n willing paiticipnlor iu guilt. Anoth er statement is to thu effect that tho wife had successfully resisted a threu year's siege, and pieserved her chasti ty to the last, while maintaining friend ly relations with the man who was con stantly striving for her fall. Tho va lions stories, somo of which are, and all of u liich may be, essentially false, aro advanced as justification of the murder. Is thero not danger that wo aro carry ing this principle of justifiable) assassi nation n little too far? (tohlcn hnt. A very significant speech was mado in Galena (III.) on tho 'Jlst, of June, by .Major General Itawlius, General Grant's Chief of .Stall, lie fully en dorsed the reconstruction nicasines of Congress; said that the governments cm ated iu thu South by the President wero provisional only, and thai as they weru both illegal and anti-republican, ilwas tlio duty of Cong i ess to icpiess them; declared the constitutional amendment proposed by thu last Congress a neces sity created by tho war, and said that its ratification should bu mado a pre requisite to tho recognition of any gov ernment In thu rebel States; expressed his opinion iu thu most decided maimer that there eould bo no question about tho constitutionality of thu reconstruc tion acts, and said that im thosu acts wero purely political, their Milidity could not bo questioned by thu Judicial Department, lie expressed bliiiselfiit favor of impartial suffrage, thought it was the only true nnd Just suttlumeut of thu questions in disputu ami was decidedly of opinion that all thu States ought to adopt it. Thu relations be tween General Huwlius nnd General Grant aro of thu most intimate kind, uml when thu former makes a speech of this sort, it may bu too much to sup posu that hu shares thu views of tho latter. Under tho circumstances, it is not strange that tho President makers of thu Kast, who aro on thu ait I vivo fur items, should no understand it. Ortyonhui. Ini'oiimaiion Wanthii.
