Yeslerdar, during the debate in' the
Wenate ab the hilt lor the relief of
j A. Jjowe-, Mr. Vest, of Missouii, said:
Xhe people sent out by l'lymoutn
Church And other pillars -of God and
morality, headed by that old scoundrel,
John lirown, who afterward justly ex
piated his crimes, on the scaffold at
Harper Terry, were responsible for
mucjofibe violence of that unTortu
nate time.' He did not. propose to
quietly liear the jeople of Missouri
charged w ith projecting slavery statutes
into Ktofus. Jjowe was an irresponsi
ble servant, nid should bfe' paid for his
clerical work.
Air- Jbgilla; reepondinp to iJVct,
said be die not proptee at this period
of the Nation's history to enter upon a
viudiea'ion of John lirown. John
lirown whs rxrufed as a traitor on the

Harper's Ferry and bore it in triumph
through four year of war to Appomat
tox Court-house. John Brown was
about four years ahead of his .time. Jt
was the Nation that was laggard, and
it n quirt 4 but very few years after his
decease for tbe Nation to occupy the
platform on which he had stood.
Mr. Ivlmnnds said he began to get
iitercK'ed in this bilb since John
Brown's name bad been bro"ghl up,
although, lie added, nothing that can
be said of him in the Senate, good or
evil, will mar, the brightness of that
fame licit will go down as the type of
horust, ihoiigh it may be misguided
love nl liberty. His body lies mould
eiing in il:e grave, but his soul, thank
Cod, is imtrching on.Aaf!ona( Ji'rjub
(icun . '
It -is 1 1 rlainly tiue that nobody in
the Senate on 'be day when John
Brown was hung for treason against
the sti utei of Virginia, made any such
defence of hitu as Senators Ingalls and
Ed o otids did, but there were enough
of "ng(:llow's "hooting mob'' there
then, and possibly now, although ho
one of them loosed his tongue but Sen
ator Vest, who termed old John "that
old scoundrel John Brown," But
when Senators Ingalls and Edmunds
paid their glowing tributes to the man
who Was executed on the scaffold at
Harper's Ferry," they fulfilled the
prophesy of Longfellow's glowing and
fervid: lines, written long before that
occasion: . '

I Last week ws ba i o? adon to notice
the humanity of man to men, as exem
plified in ;1h; j.e's'n of Mr. Justice
Millis ia the arre&t and trial of a Mrs.
MUler and her'brother, and the impo
sition of a fine of three dollars each, 'for
a disturbance of the public peace.
.We said .-then that .this trial was a
travesty on justice. -Now, upon "the
statement of the magistrate, as we hear
it, the case, Irom inception to close,
should receive the cethiire aiid con
demnatiou of gjod ciiiznis.
The fcts of which we hpeak are
these :
On Thursday evening, a week ago,
the arretted parlies were indulging in
some loud conversation, inside their
rented dwelling on Ann street-: They
have.residid there lor a year or raor,1,
peacefully ai.d (I'.iietly a to occasion
no remark or complaint, aid upou the
evening of which 'they are charged
with a mi.-durieanor 'the mosi vivid
imagination would not torture the act
into more than a wrangling dkjagrce
ment . Lond lalk"was the wrong which
retributive justice walked forth and
seized u tio:i ; not a blow was struck,
not a scratch U the 'person, a brui.-e or
the nppeamnee ot iole'n'ee, and ueitli
crofthe principalis were injured in
perswi or hune. On the contrary, the
sun ron on the i'dlowing d:iy and set
as usual, and rose again and passed the
meridi m bdore the mills of j-istice be
gan to grind.
It all 'happened in th:s wise .--It was
Saturday,' the clo-e. of tho icmpo.ral and
judicial week, wood was scajce, provi
sions high, and nothing seemid to pros
per, but the new market, ' when Mr.
Thomas ' Bunting explained to' his

was a i in ess o:j liie Tliur.-day previous
Mr. Bunting then drops it, Air. Ashe
drops into the ollice ' ot Sjuirc Millls,
and states, "that upou information and

Mr. Ashe drops out he states that he

TheKokth .American. Review.-
Ruckle's explanation of the decline of
the spirit of religious persecution, was
that in modern times fjith had under
gone an eclipse, and men: could nbt
bring themselves to persecute others
into believing that whereof they were
themselves skeptical. The iuadequate-
nesa of this explanation of one of the
most striking social phenomena of our
time, is forcibly shown in the-iVorM
American Hcview for January, by Prof.
John Fiake, who assigns a number ot
other causes that have becu at least as
influential in bringing about this most
desirable result. First, there is the
decline of the martial spirit and the
greater devotion to pacific industrial
pursuit?. Then, as iren rise in the
scale of civilization, they are less dis
posed to be domiuceiirg. Finally, men
in modem times have quite lost tbe
sense, of corporate responsibility the
belief that a whole community is liable
for the ollenaes of each individual com
posed in it. These points are estab
lished 4ith ail tho ingenuity of reason
ing and wealth of learning for which
the author is so distinguished. The

the fame he has gained for himself.
But he thought of a way to get out of
his scrape. So he goes to the Republi
can' poll-holders, Messrs. fey. V. Nash
and Joshua Meares, and tells them that
his business has been very much dam
aged by the noteriety that he, Sanders,
had got, and requested them, as 'a per
sonal favor to himself, to sign a "card"
which he assured them was only for
hiionu personal beuvfit. They, un
suspecting his rascally intentions, sign
ed the "car l" that he hurriedly read
were s(irpri-.ed to sC4i,a turning, lying,
political "card" out iu the newspapers
exhn jr.iting the taid Sanders from all
blame, and slating further that the
election was fair, Aic, hi, that division
of the first ward. These geutlemen
