Among young children the proportion in number, of males to females is largely in favor of the males; but among adults the proportions are reversed and the females largely exceed the males, in all but a few of the newest settled communities, in the great cities' of the country, especially, is the. disproportionate number of women particularly noticeable. In New York there are 25,000 more women than men, in Boston 18,06 Q. and in Baltimore 17,000. Liquor, tobacco and hidden vitses are sapping the vitality of the young of our country at a fearfhl rate.

The Governor has reprieved Dennis and Coffee, the Crawfordsville murderers, for whom the parts of a gallows, mentioned last week as having been made in Rensselaer, were intended and who were sentenced to be hanged September 3rd. The limit of the reprieve is October 16th, and the action was taken in order to the Supreme Court an opportunity to consider the appeal which has - been taken in the case of Dennis. MenfbersTof the Supreme - t3ourt7 the Circuit Judge, who sentenced Dennis, and a number of others united in a petition to reprieve the accused. As Coffee who was. convicted at the same time, is the < inly witness against Dennis, lie was reprieved also. If he were hanged on the 3rd proximo, and Dennis should ‘be granted a new trial, there would be no witness against him.

Civilization was horrifie d at the Pail Mall Gazette’s late revalations of secret as they exist in London; but there are not wanting those who confidently assert, shat in man} 1 , or indeed most, of the cities and large towns of this country exist conditions of affairs shat are little, if any, better than the dreadful and portentious things revealed in London. What a fearful condition of immorality, ia revealed, for instance, by a sen. fence in a letter from a reputable citizen of Boone cqun ty, to a friend in Rensselaer. “Thi s place,” he writes, “has become the devil’s head quarters. When the well at Lebanon fair grounds was cleaned out this spring the skeletons of twenty infants were found in the mud at the bottom.”

Whence is it! after all that every few clays the public learns that some habitual criminal,' like the Maine penitentiary convict, the Colorado horse thief, Exum Saint, the pension law violator or the indicted postmaster in lowa, has been appointed to office by the Democratic Administration? Wfjy is it that, in so many places, the - management of the Democratic party is wholly in the hands of the dangerous and unprincipled classes? Why-is it that men like Mackin, the -onvicted perjurer ahd ballot-box stuffier, of Chicago, fdid why is itjthat men who are universally know to have 1 committed malfeasance in * office, and defi- * ’ditly violated the laws of the statej should still be |«*rmitt**d t< stand hit»h in the councils and favors bf the party? Why is it foo, thn? every jDemocratic platform and declaration of principles, has become the synonym for deception, duplicity and reckless inconsistency? It is because of the inherent degradation, the ess&utial Ipwnese'Qf aims of the prfrty. It is because me party has, indeed and in truth, s(>wn h-tha an “organ feeft ebn*|nraoy rights” into ‘ttn olg.anizcd *. CfttiSpirac'V for It is because, h&r<rrif , <A

earnest men in the [Democratic party, they are either blirtded to, the faults of their party by partizan prejudice, or are overmasted-’ ed and over-ruled by the demagogues, the spoils hunters and the unprincipled in their party.

The Monticello Un-aid , always a most excellent paper, cartie out last week greatly changed and improved It has been changed to an eight page paper, and largely increased in size. It has also discarded the unsatisfactory and expensive streotype plate method, in its general hews and miscellaneous columns, and adopted the now almost universal ready-print method. Another marked change which the Herald has made, is, perhaps, not quite so great qn -improvement as might, at first glance, appear. The leaves of the paper are pasted and trimmed in the manner of the great city papers. The miscellaneous pages are thus made more accessible than the old style of quarto papers; but inasmuch as th e local pages are the first to be read, and as it is more trouble to get at them when the paper is pasted ahd trimmed, the “great improvement” upon which the Ilcrald felicitates itself so much, is not really such a very great improvement, after all.

“Grant’s Memorial: what shall it be?” is discussed in the September number of the North American Review by Lauut Thompson, Karl Gerhardt, O. L. Warner, and Wilson McDonald, seulptors; W. 11. Bear'd, painter; Calvert Yaux and Henry Van” Brunt, architects: and Clarence Cook, art eritio. . This symposium is sure to attract wide attention at this time, when the desire is. so general to erect a monument to Grant that .shall be worthy of the man, the nation, and American Art. The same. utimber of the Review contains a consideration of the question, “Shall our National Banking System be Abolished?” by George S. Boutwell, F. J. Scott, S’. Dana Horj 1 £ ton, and Edward H. G. Clark. “Ouida” contributes an essay on “The Tendencies of English Fiction,” and Elizabeth Stuart Phelps writes on -* ‘The Great Psychical Opportunity.” But the most readable article in the number is ;bx-Sergeant at-Arms French’s “Reminiscences of Famous Americans”, whiclr'is a sories of delightful anecdotes about the .famous war sehators. Mr. French is writing a book of _these reminiscences. If it equals this forestallment in the Review, it will be one of the famous works of modern literature, %
