this doubie murdw'should be punished by Imprisonment only, while less heinous often*es have, In many Instances, brought thotr perpetrators to the gallows, Wilful, dsltberate murder should reeeivs tho same punishment lu evsry county, but our present statute leare* the law to be determined by county /In. *, or by the whims, or philanthropic Idosyneniorles of Jurors. What that uniformity should he we have a very decided opinion, which Is, that until the desperadoes who now Infest soetely shall be tblnned out by Judletous banging, tho gallows would prove I preservative, life sav-

ing Institution.”

On the day after the same paper made the following comments upon the trlel of the child murderer Hanr, referring to the erne of Faux In connection therewith] “ Now w# have another case to record, showing a lower gradation in the punishment for wilful murder, as the law Is administered by juries In this State. The story of the slow, torturing murder of a helpless orphan boy by Lawrence Hart, of Kosciusko county, but a few months ego, Is probably familiar to our readers, but e resume of the facte will befon"'* In the letter of our Wemw co»"«Kuha«h*. which we publish »*»'* The eblld wwatg rniird^fcU ® fyftMlIfctlC COTIW0 Of itIT* vmion, exposure and blows. There conld be no mitigating circumstances in the case, for the victim was too young to have given any provocation for thocrimo# It was njt possible that the circumstances of the case could reduce the offense to manslaughter, but tho jury found the prlsonee guilty of manslaughter oniy, and fixed hi* punubment at twenty-one years In the penitentiary—provided he does

not run away.

• After the gullible Jhry had been wheedled into giving fltclr inscrutable verdict, Hart confessed that he killed the child purposely. Tills he might safely do, for be could not again be tried except by Judge Lynch’s court, and Hist does not hold its sessions In Kosolutko

county,

•■When juries learn to punish abandoned, hardened criminals as they deeerte to be punished, and in such a way aa to restrain others from the commission of like crimes, wo shall hear less of burglaries, robberies and murders,

but not till then.”

We refer to those cases to show tbst “ barbarity and Inhumanity ” exist In theclvllixed and christianized North as well as In the benighted south, and that notwithstanding tbe extreme sensltlvenesi among tho Northern radicals In regard to outrages and crimes In the late rebel States, Md their ttern demand fur rigorous punishment Of the violators of law tn that section of the country,they fail to meet out justice to the most Infamous criminal* In tbelr own midst, This feature In the scclal organization of the North can not fall to strike observers and thinkers with peculiar force. But we have another Object In directini' attention to tbe Journal’s portraiture of tho administration of justice In the North. In Its i*'ue of yesterday. In commenting upon the efficiency end bcnlflcency of the five military government* In the Southern States, It

say*'

•■During these four month* fhero ha* been more security to property end Ufa in that section of the union, than at any time for six venr. preceding. The people have been sub» jeot to no taxes that liava net been Imposed upon the constituents of tho members of Congross. No man’s property has been taken from him In violation of law, nor has confiscation been visited upon any, even tbe guiltiest of the rebels against tbe national author* liy. There have beep no military executions, no man’s blond has been shed by military authority, but vtolencihat been repreued, and (hr. lives of loyal cllitent have been protected from. assassins, such as perpetrated tho slaughter* at Memphis and New Orleans, but a few months befora the reconstruotlon law was enacted. Tbe poor have not been oppressed, on the contrary tbe Conjjrefe which Is charged with rivaling the cruelty of Alfa, has voted millions to purchase food for the destitute, a large portion of whom were the widows and orphans of men who died fight*

ing against tbe Government.” "

If military powet, or ona man power, or despotic government has been attended with such happy result* 111 the Southern States; If violence has been repreased, the poor pro* teetod, the burden* of government lightened, more security given to life and property, and crime has been sumtnartly punished by military governors whose will U taw, unrestrained and unlnfluenoed by courts and legislation—who kstUIhe in themselves and administer all tbe functions of government— we ask our neighbor why that blessing should be confined to t?h stafe^ of fhe Union? If the experiment of military government has been as successful us the Journal depicts In the lale rebel States, why not ex« tend fhe same ruf* to Indfah* (mill ft* 1 present Imperfections of our laws^and the Ineftk'lent administration of JllltlOo OvVlng to '•the whims or phllanthfOphldidlOfyilcrasles of juries” are rtfltMM Md "until the desperadons who ft#* IftMl society shall be thinned out b/judicious hanging?” According to tbe view presented by th« Journal of tbe Inefficiency of drtl government even In our own State, W* ask* It If th«r« Is not a necessity, or a Justification for similar iron rule in the North? Military government has another advantage. The Journal Informe ns tho* in tho fivo amifeory fiomlntow of thr South ” the peopteyfenvo boon subjected to no taxes (hat have not boon imposed upon the constituents of tfifi fisemherl ef Congress." We must Infer, then, that It is n far cheaper government, as Well aa more offlefoaf, than

in the Northern States. *

It will be reoollsotod that Jzmis Hconns, ont of tho leading spirits of the radical party, and a man ef brain# Mff effifffhtion, made r speech to his constituents at Bloomington, a few weeks ago, in whleh be raid, In eMt, that Bepubllcan institutions were a failure, and that tbe true type of government was the British monareby.

But what cared sleek officials and well compensated atay-at home patriots, enjoying tbe oomforte and luxuries of wealth derived from the troubles and calamities of the country, for th* brave boys In blue who were suffering the Inhumanities and barbarltlea of the Southern prison pens?

The ileaoufce* mi r«tM*t*4a Cwmaty. Wo publish this morning a letter from a correspondent giving a brief sketch of tbe extraordinary mineral nd agricultural resources of Fountain county, which I* deslined to be one of the wealthleat in tb<f .Hut*. The writer Is a gentleman well and favorably known to the people of Indian*, and thoroughly acquainted with that section of Indiana. Fountain county le not only rich In mineral resources—coal, Iron, lime and building atone, timoer, fire and potter's daytil In almost Inexhaustible quantities, but it is one of the finest agricultural regions in the State. The statements of ths letter are fully born* out In regard to th* mineral resources of that Motion, by Professor Owen, late State geologist, who recently made • critical examinatlon of its underground wealth, a report of which le now before us. We have been shown samples of the iron ore found in that section, which will yield 4f per cent. The wealth of that portion of the State has remained undeveloped for tho want of reliable means of transportation, but this difficulty will be relieved by tho construction of tho Indianapolis, Crawfordsvllle and Danville railroad, a line of railway not only valuable for tho local ben•nnto wwt he to our city and country throughout which II win pass, but lor afioftUng a short and direct route to tbe termination of the Pacific llallroad at Omaha city. Capitalist* who are seeking Investments, and emigrant* who arc looking for good locations, can not find a more inviting Held than Is offered tn Fountain county.

Mr. Editor: About midway between tbe fiourlahlng cities of Lafayette and Ten* Haute, and about Mventy miles west and north of your city, and tbe great line,of early filing IWlirn i the salt of the Wabaah ^r«r* u pltu»t#d,*o town tnm Whleh I write. Her* Js *R embryo city of about two thousand ^habitant*, with no pretenttoua merit, xhas for M* surroundings an agTicultursl region tWfurpaesed in tbe ITabaab rhtley, to which ta added In this Irame^*t« locality, lnexha«stable mines of coal, egual to ony and greatly superior to most of

in the West. Iron of good

quality and In large quantities, fine day, potter's day, lime and building stone of excellent quality are here In superabundance. All tbew materials so valuable are eaay of acceM, but as yet have attracted but little attention from the fact that no line of railway has reached such a proximity as to stimulate a development of those resources. There is this feature, however, pertaining to this mineral region, although the surface hide* from the view this untold wealth It Is of the finest quality, gently uadulatlnr. well watered, with a growth of tlatbsr varied In kind and of excellent quality. The Wabash river, bounding this county (Fountain)on the west. Is almost valueless as a Deans of transportation. It la strange that a liver of Its magnitude, traversing at It does the entire length of ths State and through it* most fertile portion, should thus far have reodved no attention towards its Improvement. The Wabash and Erie Canal, for the laat two years, from untoward circumstances, has proved a failure; now, however, uoder tbe ouepiees of tbe present company, with tho capital Invested, the well known capacity of Its managers, this section of the vdley feels assured of a slow, though sure and cheap transportation, for about one half the *•■*» for the large annual agrlo******* 1 surplus and alao for co*l «•*■« of which Is accessible and

•m oe reached by the canal.

Nopolnton the Wabash gives promise of future Improvement equal to this. Give to this locality railway fact Hies to reach the coal, stone, day, and the timber which abounds between Sugar Creek and the Wabash river, and Covington will soon acqut.'e an Importance, rlvdlag the cities named above and be-

low us on the river.

Tbe people here are in high hopes of the early construction of the Indianapolis, Crawfordsvllle and Danville Railroad, by way of this pliee, which is made a point. The liberal donation* of your city, of tbe people along the line, and of Montgomery county In particular, for the building of this road, have been auch as to induce men of capital to offer to andertake It; and Colonel Wilson, the president of the company organized for the construction of the road, Is now In New York for the purp 'se of concluding the terms. A company Is organized In Illinois for the continuation ef this line from Danvtllo, twelve miles west of this place, through that Sut# via Champagne City, Bloomington, Pekin and to Burlington, Iowa, which It Is understood Is tn such a state of forwardness as to insure Its early completion. Tho most casual observer, In looking over tho map can not fail to see that this It ne of road bearing west on an almost direct central line between Lafayette and Terre Haute, Chicago and St. Louis, and by far tbe shortest and roost direct route to tbe Pacific, opening up to your city, and to the many flourishing cities and towns, and to all this vast region, a direct route to Omaha City, the starting point ef the Pacific Railway to San Frsnclso and and tho gold mining regions

north and west.

There is no point posnessed of tbe resources of this locality with the certainty of facilities for all necessary transportation where property bears so low a value, and so many opportunities offer for valuable and profitable Investments. B,

TH* Exeeatloner of Parle-A Dinner vrltfe She Oentlejftnn of iheGnlllo-tlne-Hemlniscenees of Vldocg— Th# Exeenfloner’a Opinion of the

Police Rpr*

The Grand Journal pubttsbes tbe reminiscences of the well known philanthropist, M. Appert. Among them we find the following interesting sketch of* dinner with Sanson, the

executioner of Paris:

Evsry Saturday, says M. Appert, I gave a dinner party, either at my residence in Paris, or nt my villa InNeutlly; and among my guests on these occasions were tbe Archbishop of Mallnes, Viscount de Lae Cases, Oust Lanjuinais, General Schramm, Representative Carnot, Admiral Leplaee, Fourier, Considerant, Lord Durham, Sir John Bowring, Alexander Duma*, Balzac, and a great many other offieeff, fWfHIclans, authors and artists; sometimes, even tbe famous Vldocq and Sanson, tbe executioner oi Parts, aad son of the man who, In 1703, beheaded the King, (Jueen Marie Antoinette, and so many other iUustrons victims, were to be found among the guests at my table. When tbeee last two guests were

invited, all Riy friends wished to dl me, and, as I have never wished t

more than twelve person# at my table, I was obliged, In order to content all my acquaintances, to invite them tn succession, a# did the Ministers, when they Intended to bring the Chamber of Peore to reaeo*. Only tbe Archbishop ef Mallnes and M. Arnoult refused to alt at th* table with Sanson, the executioner, and 1 mwt frankly eon fas# that I did not feel exactly welt when fhe men Who had cut off so

many humblf heads sat opposite me.

Tbe invitation of tbe terrible man woe ssr-iiis 1 vi^.'skxt' r.vv r: „r;i f past, dined with ms: tbeguesU said it would afford them great pleasure to dine again with the eetahfate* detective, and eon* said quite boldly that they ahould like to see Sanson ass ar. ssir&sa;^ laaaasueh aa th* executioner wee known to

Ills not so In other cases. 1 was with my father on the scaffold wbea he wm compelled to execute poor King Louie XVI., whom alt the members of the family loved oo much: and when mv father. In compliance with the order* which he had received was obliged to take tbe King’s head by the hair, and show it to the people, the fine face wore still Ito gentle, nobfe air, and my father

came very near fainting.

Fortunately I waa hy hft side, and aa I wae tall, 1 had placed myself befon him and tbe people did not see bis emotion and hts tears, which at that time wonid certainly have coat him his head. Well, sir, a short Urn* after these sad events, my section elected me captain of artillery, and I might have entered upon a successful military career, but my father said Juniy to me, “Saneon, you will inherit my position, which will secure you on iaaomo of upward of 2,000 francs—an enormous sum at that time—you wilt do well to take It my boy; for the prejudice entertained by every one against us will always prevent your.being promoted, and It Is very probable that you would remain captain all tbe time. Our ancestors have held our office In Paris longer than a century. You will lead a quiet life, and no ona, it least, baa

a right to meddle in your aflalrr.”

Vldoc: "'Except those whose heads you will cut off/ your father should have added.” Tbe Executioner: "No Jffies, Monsieur

Vldocq; what I relate Is true.” ' Vldocq: "UnfortunaUlvlLu/i- - - V.j

M.deJouy: "Monsieur Sanson, before tbe guillotine was invented, our ancestors beheaded tbe condemned with a aword that bad

to cut off th* head at a tingle stroke.”

The Executioner—"I have thta terrrlble sword still at my house; It Is a damask blade,

was bought at Constantinople lor twelve

hundred francs. My father marked with a string the edge with which be beheaded the Marquis de Laliy and tbe Chevalier de Barra. When I was young and in love, I took thla weapon, which Is very long, under my overcoat one evening, and went out. A number of ruffians attacked me in order to rob me, nod perhaps, murder me. They were at least eight of them, and as I saw I could not reslat them, I decided on a very bold course. Taking tbe sword Into my band", I rushed upon them, shouting In a very lend vote*, 'Do you not know, then, that I am tbe executioner of Paris?” On hearing these terrible words tbev took to their heels as though I were a thun-

derbolt ready to pulverize them.”

Lord Durham. "Monsieur Sanson, I should

like to see ths guillotine at work.”

Tho Executioner. "I could not refase you anything. Set a day Mr. Appert, and I will have It arranged by my young men la the shod, whore It la kept after the execution*. Th* machine la near my bouse, at the dwelling of a carnage painter, Rue des Marais du

Temple.''

The guests then dropped tbe conversation with Sanson, and Vldocq was the here of the remainder of the evening. As usual, he was a most agreeable and Interesting companion. We went to tbe salon, and Sanson asserting that his wife never went to bed until he got home, where be always, after supper, played with his family a game of piquet, respectfully begged leave to withdraw, and askad me to get him,through one of my servants,* back,

in which he might drive home.

“Under Wfelck King, Mensoartan?” Between toe interpretation which waa given to the reconstruction statutes by those who passed them, a# we showed from tbe record on tbe 3d instant, and by tbe Attorney General, and tbe Interpretation given by the District Generals, there Is a wide discrepancy, and it appears that the leading object of tbe present session is to reconcile ft. It is certain that Messrs. Wilson, Morrill, Johnson, and Sherman of tbe Senate, and Mr. Shellabarger, one of the radical leaders of tbe House and tbe party, were opposed to the Interpretations which have been given by the Generals, and were decidedly In favor of that given recently by tbe Attornoy General. They then, and he'

now, talk almost the same words.

They must, therefore, indorse tbe opinion on all tbe potots of tbe controversy. We do not see bow It conld be avoided, we will not say with honesty only, bnt even with decency, unless tbe dissent from tbe opinions be accompanied by a frank confession of change of views. That would, of course, be entirely compatible with political doctrine or legal judgment, for it would only show that tbe statutes were truly interpreted, and that the contrary Imputation Is unprincipled and slanderous, but that the needed statutes bad not been passed. Let honorable men, then, come ont frankly, and admit that the President has thrown no obstacle whatever In tbe way of the reconstruction acts, but has, on tbe contrary, resisted the greatest moral obstacle which coaid exist—a salt tn the Supreme Court; that the construction adopted by the President and Cabinet, as the meaning of tbs acts, was their trne, fair, legal meaning, and that tbe Execnttve could not lawfully carry out any other: that the mistaken authority of the several district commanders has led them Into mfscon-

ine with I struct Ions of monstrous extent and dangerous to have ftAdency, and, finally, that the most sertons

ehsrge which could be brought against tbe President»the strange and prolonged Indulgence of lawless Ignorance and usurping audacity at tbe several petty H headquarters ” of bis own appointees sod constitutional subordinates. fluch concessions would be the sfmple troth, and we expect to hear them frankly
