The Chicago Times in Two Roles.

“A man ii *4m Ikh'ii arreted in CluV*n|;o for killing Ins wife. Ah ii w.is n clear mfc of murder, ii uscloas to have art'eated him. "Min'dof is nu offence which Chica- |»« juries do not regard os a punish hWe o£e. Hence, to arrest n committed murder, is »*iay the foundation of one of liurSe expensive farces know n as :i mill Judging by the past, it will "Uj cheaper lor the commonwealth ut give this mj»n live hundred dollars. and lot ldnVjro-free. If the murder trial in this city reMiltc.i justly, then is all murder t-omiuciidahlc, ami those who per|m trate it should be rewarded iiiMead of punished/— Chicago Times of July 2t ith. “Any jury of the country —a jury of northern men or southern mm— twould have acquitted Y erger upon the testimony adduced to prove his insanity. If that be so, then to defend, excuse, or apologize for the act of tlie mtiitarj tribunal in finding him guilty is I<> say -that the military code is heTTerlhati the civil ,-odc, and that a military court is wiser in the administration of justice than the courts of the civic law. * • * ****** “if any jury in the country would have acquitted Verger upon the testimony before the inilitarj*court then Yerger Ought to have been acquitted, and the military tribunal ill com ieliug him committed as grave a crime against t lie civil law as that which the accused conmtitt ed.’ - Chicago Times of July 27 tk. The argument is if a military court finds a Southern man guilty of murder, after hearing the testimony'of that man's own relatives, anil after a coroner's civil jury had pronounced him guilty, and a public meeting composed of his boyhood and life-long acquaintances had classed his crime as “wanton and unprovoked,” that “tribunal in convicting him committed as grave a crime against the civil law as that which the accused committed,” but if a jury composed of twelve good ami lawful men who lim e sat under the drippings of the Times sanctuary ami listened from day to day to the severe legal lore falling in unstrained quantities from its perennial fountain, puts the inculcated theory into practice, they arc kicked, cuffed and denounced with a pious vigor wonderful to behold. If a rebel coolly

and dt'liberatelymui tiers an United Elates office for discharging las official ditty, lie should not be punished, but if a Chicago savage prefers to kill his wife to being divorc' ed, ho should be hung. We do not hesitate to say that if the statement ol the Times in regard to Chicago juries is true, then “the military code is better than 1 lie” Chicago “civil cody, and that a military court,” or even a Lynch conrt, “is wiser in”TfiC administration us justice than the” Chicago ‘ courts of the civic law; ’ and far more equitable than the Times, and conducive to the well-being of society and secures better protection to the lives of individuals' than the morbid disorder called cxVcat ive clc me iic y. It is high lime that men guilty of moral insanity arc punished; and Governors attacked with executive clemency are e-enfined. Neither are fitter to runatiarge than a mad dog or a goring bull; and the sentiment that would shield the one from punishment or applaud the other, is closely akin to that which makes persons accessory iu crime after the fact.

The Great Eclipse.

Tlw’ great eclipse of llie sun to occur a week from next .Saturday, is attracting a great deal of interest among scientific men. Its line of totality is nearly 140 miles wide, extending across tlic continent of America and through the United States. The latitude of Vincennes will be Hear the center of the belt. At liens sol Her, although the eclipse will not be quite total, it will he accompanied by the usual phenomena, a description of which we copy from the Riverside for August: “When the sun is more than threefourths hidden by the dark disk of the moon, a perceptible gloom is thrown on all the landscape around. Soon alter the sky -appears to descend; Ute horizon to contract; the temperature <*'the air falls; birds ceafte their singing-, flowers close; an unearthly greenish and reddish light is iin|*aeted to portions of the sky; a Middeji dakiicsß ensues, and everythin" wears a mysterious and gloomy aspect “Immediately before the last trace of the sun’s, dink disappears, the awful shadow of inoon in the air may l»e delected approaching rapidly from the west, like a dark column ■or a sombre cloud. To witness this impressive sight care must be ex?rifcuNM, lt'st in the excitement of the memeittnlie swiftly approaching shadow he unheeded.

“The last thread of light from the sun's disk sometimes appears to separate into little grains or bends, before its total disappearance. This ! phenomenon has received the name ; of “liaily’s Heads,” from the noted j astronomer who first witnessed it. “Instantly on the extinction of the I sun, will be seen the grandest feature of the eclipse, —the Corona, or j crown ol light, issuing on all sides ! apparently from the purple-black disk of the moon, though in reality from the sun. it is the ntiuosjdttil’c of the sun rendered visible by the absence ol the overpowering sunlight. As the light is dazzlingly white, a piece of smoked glass will enable you to survey it without the inconvenience that might otherwise arise. “lii the corona, ami issuing also apparently from the dark moon, there will appear several rose colored flames projecting beyond the gloomy disk, perhaps a tenth the diameter of the moon. They, too, belong to the sun, and arc demonstrated by the spectroscope, to be incandescent hydrogen. With every eclipse they vary in size, number, shape, position, and depth of color. •‘l’lancts ami large stars at c often noted during total eclipses, by those who have previously studied their positions on a celestial map. As the darkness hardly exceeds that of a moonlight night, they are not always readily found in the two or three minutes of gloom that attend the entire obscuration of the sun. “When the sun reappears, .the phenomenon of Baily’s Heads should be again looked for, —this time on the right side of the moon’s disk. The awful shadow will afterwards be seen sailing rapidly away in the air to the eastward. Then follow the changes «f color in the sky and land-’ scape, the rising of the thermometer, and general awakening ol nature, and the wonderful exhibition is over.” The eclipse is caused by the moon coining between the sun and tlio earl)), by which its shadow is cast ou the earth. This will commence at ten minutes ol four o’clock in the afternoon, attaining its greatest magnitude about twelve minutes after five, and then slowly receding until at six o’clock we have passed entirely out of the shadow, and the sun is again wholly visible.

An East and West Railroad.

Sir. Conwkj.l, the efficient postmaster of Rensselaer, lias placed in our hands a call for a railroad meeting to lie held at Kcwnnce, 111., Wednesday, August 25th. This call is signed by E. V. Hroxson, President and Mii.o l)orv, Secretary of the Muscatine, Kewanec and Eastern Railroad Company, Rensselaer and Jasper county is urgently and specially invited to be represented nt the meeting. ' In the railroad campaign just closed it was advanced by us that railroads always benefited a country through which they passed, it is our candid belief there can be no surfeit of them. This project of an east and west road can lie made of great importance to this county and there cun be no harm resulting from its encouragement. The proposition of the Illinois company is to build their road from Muscatine, lowa, eastward through Kewanec and Kankakee City to some point on the Illinois State line either in Kankakee or Iroquois counties. If the Indianapolis Delphi and Chicago road is completed, (and there arc the brightest prospects in its favor) it would be but a short distance to an eastern connection—only across Newton county and seven miles in Jasper to Rensselaer. If built through Newton county it traverses its best lands and through its center and could command county assistance. If the 1., D. & C. road is built we need this one, if that project fails we need it worse. In view of the importance of the proposition let j it have a favorable hearing.

A Sew Novelet by Mrs. Henry Wood.

In the .Saturday 'Evening Post of July 17th, si new .Serial is begun by the celebrated author of "Fast Lynne.” It is called “George Canterbury's Wi11,,” and opens in this author’s usual interesting manner.— Ah extra edition will be printed of the early numbers of this story, but those wishing it will'do well to apply early. Sample copies of The I’osT, containing the opening chapters, -will be sent gratis. Price of The Post, $2.50 a year; four copies, $6.00. Address 11. Peterson & Co., 319 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. - » From the manner in which the Government has recently been unearthing revenue villainies all over the country, from New Orleans to Philadelphia, it is clear that a new order of things is about to be brought about in the administration of that branch of the civil service. The standard of morals is going to be raised, we infer, from tliis searching style of inspecting the conduct of those having charge of the people's money, and a little blood let into a foul and corrupt system. The airing now being given will be wholesome; it hadn’t been fumigated during tb&Wliole of the Tennessee blathendute’s administration, and no wonder the odor is so foul, considering the long dispensed with ventilation. A few more distinguished examples of “most respectable gentlemen" like those made a few days ago in Pennsylvania, w ill have a wholesome effect, as '-going to show that plundering the government is a crime sure do be followed with discovery, digrace and punishment.— lndianACplis Journal,

The husband proposed blood and things, but was finally contented with having him fined S2Q. A large meeting of the citizens of Boon county was held at Whitestown, on the Lafayette railroad, last Saturday, which passed resolutions favoring a county appropriation in aid of the Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago railroad,"and circulated jietitions asking the county commissioners to order an election for that purpose. The Indianapolis Journal says: “The sum of the whole matter,’ as near as we can arrive at any sum at all, is that the crop in the center and south part of the State, off sthe .fiver bottoms, looks finely. On the high lands it is not very bad either north or south, but in the north it is generally bad, and on low lands utterly ruined.

The Indianapolis, Delphi and Chicago Railroad.

In accordance with the resolution adopted at the lut meeting of the directors of theqiroposed short line lietweeu this city and Chicago, via Delphi, a preliminary survey of the route lifts already commenced. The engineer corps have been prospecting in our neighborhood for some days, testing the White river aud Fail creek crossings, and entrances to the city and Union Depot.

A GREAT REMEDY FOR THE CURE OF THBOAT AND LUNG DISEASES. Dr. WISH ART’S PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL. It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree, obtained by a peculiar process in the distillation of the tar, by w hich its highest medical properties are retained. It is the only safe guard and reliable remedy which ever been prepared from the juice of the Pine Tree. It invigorates the digestive organs and restores the appetite. It strengthens the debilitated system. It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels from the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on the luugs. It dissolves the mucus or phlegm tVhich stops the air-passages of the lungs. Its hfealing principle acts upon the irritated surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating to the diseased part, relieving pain and subduiug inflamatiou. It is the result of years of study and experiment and it is offered to .the afflicted, with the positive assurance of its power to cure the following diseases, if the patient has not too long delayed a resort to the means of cure Consumption of the Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat and Breast, Bronchitis, Liver Complaint, Blind and Bleeding Piles, Asthma, Whooping Cough, Diptheria, &c., \c. ■ •>*-, We are often ashed why are not othdr remedies in the market for; Consumption, Coughs, Colds and other Pulmonary affections'equal to DrL, Q Wisbart’s Pine Tree Cordial. We answer—--Ist. It cures, not by stopping cough, but by loosening and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy matter collected about the throat and* Bronchial, tubes, causing irritation and cough. 2d. Most Throat and Lung Remedies are composed of anodynes, which allay the cough for awhile, but by their constringing effects, the fibers become hardened, and the unhealthy fluids coagulate and are retained in the system, cans ing disease beyond the control Ofpur most emi sent physicians. 3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assistants. are preferable, because they remove the cause of irritation of the mucous membrane and bronchial tubes, assist the lungs to act and thro w off the unhealthy secretions, and purify the blood thus scientifically making the cure perfect.
