I'hat Intelligent politician foresaw tho overthrow of radicali-un when there should be a restored Union, for ho well comprehended the f ict that It was a minority party, henpo tho necessity Of numbers to maintain It* supremacy.

I'ecKnnlff* The Journal makes a weak attempt to explain itself on the pilzo fight question." It

says:

••We publish almost dally accounts of murders in all parts of tho country, D.toa it follow that beeau** we do so, v.o indorse and

Although the Journal publishes Jjiily accounts of murders, it docs not - an 1 wo aro happy to record tho fact—publi-h them with approving conn.icrds. It docs not gloat over the dct dl, and dwell with admiring rapture over t lie ••might, ’trace and good aim’’ with which the mu.dvror pi intod a pistol ball in the l>r-.in of bis i lim, or drove ilio ilaggcr to bis bf uf. |u decs nol.ci'iUclso Uic TiiodltH Op- < rt' H <>f tho murder, and indignantly conJ "a • oy “.ui-craido system" of murder win ii mi', be r pudiated by respectable mur-der,a-s.

The T.oston l ost, inquires if State sovereignty Is indeed a deod and buried heresy, as radicals declare, what is the meaning of these several constitutional State convention* now holding? There is one at present in session in 2few.York; one isjust adjourned in MMtigan; and another ha* recently concluded its work In Maryland; others aro on the carpet. .Now by what right do tho people of these States pretend to assemble tn convention by their delegates, to overhaul and replace the foundations of their local governments? If Congress i* supreme, agreeably to the radical doctrine, then whatever the people of the states may do 1* null. If Congress may direct who may and who may not rZeroise tho right of suffrage in State*, bow come* tt that Now fork and Michigan are able to keep women from the ballot box ? To find an answer to this question, it will have to be admitted that Congros* 1* really encroaching on popular right*; and that I* the reason of the present popular dissatisfaction.

Duf at tuts very time be waa a $ainbter. Inventing his every spare dollar in faro, fie soon opened a commission house of his own in Ann street, and by consummate address kept up the appearance of doing a very extensive budness. By meats of letters and representations ho was enabled to borrow largely of his friends. Weary of waiting for their pay, they at last ordered an investigation of his account*, which showed that his books were fictitious, hie letters forgeries, his capital $230, hie dcbtrfW.OOb, and tho Yh lie bu-tness a fraud irom the V(ry be-

ginning.

Meantime, by false representations of a pecuni iry status, Patterson bad contrived to obtain for his wife the daughter of a prominent citizen of Auburn. The lady soon had reason to repent her choice, for, through some fresh confidence operations, her husband became an inmate of Moyamensing prison, Philadelphia. His able, though hypocritical letters of repentance, gained iilm a speedy pardon. Return, ing to New York, utterly destitute of funds, he contrived to raise the wind by perpetrating an audacious swindle upon his late j dlor. He invited him to Nc.v York and ontenained him in the most princely manner at his hotel for several days, providing the most costly Havanas, the choicest Gliquot ami the most superb dinners, and accounting for the magnificent style of his own living by stating that ho had recently been left solo heir to a largo

estate

After the j ilcr arrived homo he received, a letter requesting the loan of $l } 5p0, which he did not hesitate to grant. A portion of ttds Patterson used to liquidate his hotel bills, and the balance he putin his pocket for‘'keeps.” He next assumed the character of a person who controlled a mine worth millionsJ^^lA.c/Wdsoid tho stock freely; allowed tho concern to collapse, and pocketed alt the money paid in by the subscribers, amounting to $luO,uw. lie now took up his aliode at the Spangler House, near Union Square, paying $12,000 per annum for a suite of rooms, and devoted himself to social Intrigue and gcuteel dissipation. But he did not forget his financial speculations. He victimized all bis personal friends, making them costly presents, and borrowing from them under pretence of having great riche*, a good deal more money .than the present* were worth. i’attcrson also established a boot-blacking shop, under the city bank In Wall street, fitted it up elegantly with black walnut furniture, and employed a number of boot artists, but finally abandoned the undertaking. At an itticr time he went to Uhtcago, and distributed over 2,.*00 rubles to the schoois, condu ling lus operations by swindling the trustees. At Yv Asbinatau be made himself socialiy wtecorful, living like * lord, and literally entertaining princes. But by this time his many victims in New York had become implacably incensed against him, and he was obliged to make a tasty exit, with only such property as he could carry in a very small carpet-bag. He turned up, at length, in the | South, in a state of abject poverty, and, being too poor to purchase a railroad ticket on, bis ; way North, he contrived to secure his passage by means of an artlul imposition upon the conductors. His last fiasco occurred in New Eagland, whore he contrived to win the affections of a widow lady with large expectations. Ere he reached the lady’s house, however, he was arrested on one of the fifty charges against him and thrown into Jail, from w hich he was liberated by a gentleman irom Hartford, who gave bail for him in the sum of $t1,00l>, which has since been forfeited. He has never since been able to redeem his fallen fortuur?; and after a career evincing sufficient talent to h ive made him in a good cause rich, he has leLure to reflect i’n his present state of wretchedness and destitution, that honesty is tho best policy, and that sharpers often overreach themselves and fall unwittingly into the snare which they so cruelly laid for others.

Now, we can nnt lreip inquiring, of what

I-'nnn Uic Uubuque Tiroes, Augusts?. A modern I-uic bo i r«t with i:i even rnhitppy Wives. Three years ago there was no happier girl In nil Milwaukee than Mary S.-brooder. Her parents were in comfortable circumstances, and refused their d (lighter nothing that could add tn he r comfort-or happiness. One day she met (Juris. Gantenben, and was introdueed to him. I! ; hud just served two years in the Wisconsin penitentiary for having committed bigamy, but ho did not tell Mary ot it. lie had not a handsome fa< e, he had not a pleasant voice, he had ugly eyes, so she did not love him. Rut in a month or two he proposed marriage. He had told her parents of his great property in tho city of Dubuque— how rich ho was; -Mary should have every luxury, plenty of servants and no work—she •honlrl have Horses ami carriages at her ccmniand; siteneed not even walk if she did not choose to walk. So, when Mary said, “ No, I will not marry you,” her parents said, “ Yes, you shall marry him. and we will have a rich son in law!” she married him. She came to Dubuque with him. There was no carnage to receive her at the ferry landing. She walked with him clear up into the Fifth Ward, to his brother’s house. There she learned for the first time that he was not only not rich, but w as very poor. Somebody furnished him a little money, and he started a saloon. Soon be moved Into the building at tho corner of Fifteenth and iowa streets. CJnstomors came to him and ho commenced prospering. Alas for Mary! He commenced getting drunk, too, and to liest her. Her home was a perfect hell to her. She was In constant fear for her life, and she says that time amt again when she asked for money to buy food, she has been answered by a blow and a kick. 8he became a mother, and then lur torments of heart were doutffed, for she knew of her inability to protect the child in Ids moments—or rather hours—of passion. Thus she has lived for three years—subject to more kicks than kisses, more blows than blessings—a hundred fold more. This life of torment culminated last Saturday. Omrtenben got drunk. Several times during the day he whipped his wife. In the evening, with her child in her arms, she told him there was no bread in the house, and nothing for the little one to eat. He swore a terriWg.path. and said be would give her bread! Picking up a dog chain, be wound it about her neck, knocked her down on the floor and then dragged her by the chain across the large room. Then he caught hold of her long hair, and dragged her back again. And then ho took the chain and beat her over the bead and face with it. She screamed murder, and the neighbors and pa-sers-by rushed in and rescuod her. All this time the child lay on the floor, screaming at the top of her voice. Officer Herkes arrested Gan ten ben and took him to jail. • Yesterday he was brought before Justice Foltzer for examination. He pleaded guilty to an assault with intent to do great bodily harm, and was held to bail In the sum of

$oHO.

IS was revealed In the court room that Gan-tenb-n has led a life worse than that of Bluebeard of old, save in the crime of murder. He has been married to no less than eleven different w omen, every one of whom has received terrildo basting* at bts hands. For bigamy be wus cdiMlned' two years In the Wisconsin ffcnltenttary. one, and possibly two, of bis former wives ate iivlng in this city, though his psesent wife never knew it till last Sunday. Thus has this monster lived for a dozen years—luxuriating with wives, and forexerefcw mashing tbrtr faces and bruising their bodies. It ie a relief to think he has found a stopplng place fit hi* care r, an3 tt a' for a few months at least women will lie out q£ the reach of his mauley s. HWvvMe intends going to her people, who are now in Missouri, and purpose* fo apply inirr,—,),-»t<,iy ^ divorce

from her unnatural ftpouse.

The writer fttguee that “soother necessity for a protective tariff In the raising of » large revenue.” This proposition defeat* itself. A tariff tor revenue is designed to encourage importation, and the only question asked when this le eoMtderad, Is the rote which wlB produe# the largest amount U duties. The majority of those who believe that free trade is the best condition tor a community have conceded the propriety of maintaining la this country, for the present, s tariff for revenue, as the people are now accustomed to this method oi indirect taxation, and everything ha# become adjusted to tt. But a protective tariff alms to secure the manufacture at home of tho things now Imported. H successful In this, tt most certainly diminish the revenue, since the highest rate will yield no duties If the goods are not brought to our port*. Tho goods eaa not both be made here and Imported: and just so far as the protectionist ie successful in bw scheme, he cate off tho revenue from Im-

parts.

But in this part of hi* argument our protectionist has been guilty of something worse than Inconsistency. He appeals to the basest of human passions, cud tries not only to stir up the prejudice* of all classes of the people against the other revenuo laws now ao necessary to the maintenance of the public credit; but worse than this, to array the poor again*t the rich by vulgar picas of the meat shameful character. On the first cf these points he urges that “the people are everywhere murmut iug; the taxes are unconscionably high; the tax gatherer is In every house; be pries Into every man’s affairs, and subject* a free people to domiciliary visits—a \thinj, that ice have stood lomj enough !’ T If this nad been uttered by a politician of another school It would have been eaTlc.T seditious, no matter bow much of truth it may cover. But on the other point, the excitement of class prejudices, the author is still more vicious. He asks if ■‘the Increase of the tariff shall be upon those articles of common use which find their way into every poor man’s house, so that his upsH.XrSrtZS! iJr-Srvrgar, coffee, tea, rice? Or shall It be upon French silks, laces, kid gloves, British iron, and Cape wool—which would mainly burden the rich?” This pleats carried to a consideral length, and these phrases, “rich and poor,” are reproduced in almost every line. Here the intention is not only bad, as the writer well knows, but the foundstten of the appeal is totally untrue. Th^ luxuries be enumerates aie not the subjects of protection. French silks, laces and kid gloves exhaust his catalogue, and not one of them would be manufactured in this country under any amount of protection, or any description of tariff. Iron and wool, the only additional articles specified, are -fax less luxuries than either sugar, coffee, tea or rice, which be names as necessary to the poor. If the poor mss was indeed to bo considered at the expense of the rich, we should say, give him his iron and wool free, and pile the duty on articles less necessary to Ins daily use. But there can be no such discrimination.. There is no wealth but the product of toil, and all burdens of every kind rest at last upon the produced. A man who merely consumes pays nothing unless be earns the right to U: and he pays only so far as he earns, and on all be earns, no mattea who reaps the benefit. The producer is therefore the only taxpayer, and the assertion of this author “that taxes fall upon the consumer in proportion as be consumes,” is the most transparent sophistry. The man who appropriates a coat and wears it out is a consumer, but the man who earned the cost of It paid the tax on it. The producer not only pays his share of the tax on that which he consumes himself, but the producers as a body pay the tax on that which everybody consumes. All unnecessary taxes are unnecessary burdens on labor. A protective tariff is an unnecessary tax, because it increases the cost to every producer of that which is consumed, by attempting to force an unnatural and costly process of manufacture. The question of a discriminating tax against luxuries, and in favor of the supposed necessaries of life, Is one which has been widely discussed by political economists, but it has nothing to do with the subject of a protective tariff. Even If It had, the selection made by this protectionist is most unfortuaate for bis case, as out of the five articles he enumerates, silks, laces and kid gloves are not included in the protected list, and wool and iron are far from being the pet extravagances of the idle rich. Surely a v liter must be a bad nun,* or have lost his head by overmuch attention to bis own vagaries, to be satisfied with the substitution of sucb appeals as this for sober argument, upon a subject of so much importance to the common welfare.—^fero York Journal of Commerce.
