We Lhiavo no disposition to interfero with the amuse- monts of 8t Louis solong ss they aro obsorved ot home, but we don't want hor poculiar institu- tion on the soil of Illinois. The people of Yankton and of Daiota Terci« tory ought to hang their honds in shame at the moclery of justico and law practiced in the case of Wintermute, the murderer of Gen. McCook The circumatances of tho murdor aro too racent to roquiro any recapitulation, and overy ono who remombers the case at all will recall tho impres- sion that it was ono of tho most outrageous and cold-blooded murdors ever committed {n this country., Gen, MocCook was ° brave man and s good citizen, and Wintormuto shot him down without giving him oven tho opportunity to defend his life, The murdor was 80 conspicuously outrageous that it attraoted .attention and commont throughout the whole country, Notwithstanding all this, the Grand Jury at Yankton has beon so constituted na to indict Wintermute for manelaughter only, and the Judge has admitted him to bail, 1f this is tho ort of law provailing in Dakots, it s a good country for peacosblo emigrants to stay away from.

BUYING A TELEGRAPH COMPANY, Tho proposition by tho Postmastor-Geuoral to purchase all tho tolograph lines of the country Ias acquired frosh intorost from the fuancial embarragemonts of Commodore Vandorbilt. The Wostern Union Telegraph Company is pur- sued by two kinds of consuming parasites. The firat of theso ¢ [ tho form of opposition com- panice. Tho tolegraph patonta have long sinco expired, oud any porson or company i3 at liborty to build s lino auywhero, at ooy timo, and do all the busi noss it can ot any rates it may chooso to catablish, Tho cost of bullding telegraph linos is not 8o hoavy as to deter capitalists from tunt form of investment. , In other wordy, tele- graphing is not monopoly, and cannot bo mado such. Bince tho closo of the War, the Westorn TUnion Company has bought four opposition companios, and now ones have invariably taken their places. Thero is obviously no end to thiy process, excopt the bottom of the Western Union Compapy's purse. ; The other class of parasites is composed of those who, by virtue of ofiicial position, lovy & gort of blackmail upon the Compauy. Tho ox- tent to which thie Is carried may bo judged by the following pasagraph in President Orton's 1nut report to the ajockholdors : The franks iasued to Governmeut ofiialals constitute nearly 8 third'of the total compiimentary business. Tl wiros of the Western Unlon Company extend fnto thirty-soven States and nize Territorios within tho “limita of tho United States, axid {nto four of the Drit~ s Provinces, - In all of them'our property is more or lesa. Bubjoct to the notion of th&\National, Stute, and munieipal authorities, and tho jullicious use of coin- plimentary franks among them has beon tho means of soving to the Company many times tlio mouey valuo of tho freo'sorvico performod. This:publio exposure of the sbuss of tho franking priviloge uay have beon an explanation 4o tho stockholders to acoount for tho non-pay- inont of dividends during tho lsst fiscal yoar, but it looks to us moro like = challonge to tho Govornment officials implicated to ory havoo and lot slip the dogs of war. The financial history of this Company ia set forsh in a curious publication recently issued by Mr, Gardiner G. Habbard, the champion of the Postal Telegraph system. Tho Company was incorporated in 1851, bat paid no dividends until 1858, tho profita boing uvad in oxtenxions of the lines, ote., oto, - Mr. Hubbard's fluancial oxhibit isns followa: In 1§38 the capital atack wos.

Bome timo ago, Vanderbilh was seduced into purchasing & largo amount of tho stock, aud, onca in, ho undertook to mako it ono of the leading faucios, He had bulled it up to 91 whon tho pauia cemo, aud tho water com= mencod to ovaporate, Westorn Union doclined to 61, Somo days ago Vanderbilt was able to o $17,810,U7 AT at 53 @~00 for corn to Luffalo, Flour way qulot and flrm.

Tho difforonco botween that cost and tho prosont price of tho stook s edqual to some millions of doltara, No mattor how strongly tho Wontern Unton Tolograph Compnuy may havo protested in thé prst againat boing ravished by the Government there can hardly be any doubt mow that Mr ‘Vandorbilt, controlling as ho doos the Compnuy, and porsonally out of pocket some millions of dollurs, will bo willlug to ecll out tho whole con- cern at considorably loss than parto any governs mont ablo to pay forit. Wo do not doubt the slncority of tho past opposition to the Govern- mont purchage by thoe officors of tho Company, put it looks now vory much like a cholee botweon such o solo and the bankruptey of Vandor- Dbilt, who is not only carrying Westorn Union at moro than it {s worth, but Now York Contral, Loke Bhoro, and Unlon Pacifle at tho enmo rolaive prices. In this monsure, soemingly so easontinl to lus roliof and the ro- liof of tho holdors of all this vast property, tha suggestions of Mr. Orton concerning 4o favors shown bythe Comvenyip the ofiicials of the Unltod 2i3ios and to the officars of the sovoral Biatos aro not without signifleance. From many of thoso offiolals thoro it an urgent domand that the United Btates shonld purchaso this tologeapl, snd take it off Vanderbilt's hands, The purchaso would lot Vandorbilt out of a Iarge sharo of his troublo, Evon as far ro- moved from Wall stroot as the Statoof Wis- consin, thore comos up & voico {from a distingwshod Governor (whoso eyo-teeth ought to bo out Dby this timo), domanding that tho TUnitod Stotos sbould purchaso this "Tolograph Compnny's property. So that this winter, Weatorn Union stock will probably have its principal market in Washington, and Con- gross will be importunod from all quartors to purchasa tho $43,000,000 of tolograph stock, and onable Vandorbilt and his associato gamblors in this grent company to escapo tho consoquoncos of their reckless and injurious spoculations. " Turning to the fost pago of Mr. Gardinor G. Hubbnrd's pamphlot we aro gratified to find that 16 18 not only profuse in complimonts, but is disposod to deal liberally with Mr. Vandorbilt, and not drive & Lard bargain with him. Ho BRYS ¢ "Tho postal systom recognizes tho rights of property 1n tho ownors of tho oxisting }uos, procesding upon tho ground that o make any new plan successful it ‘must avail itsclf of tho scrvices and co-operation of {ho prescnt ablo managers ; that this can only bo no- compilslied by paying liberally for tha proporty it pur- chases of thom, and that 1 will bo much moro advan- tageous Lo thie public to meeurc this harmonfous co- oporation, oven by paying a large price for its prop- erty, than to catablisl o systom ot & vory much sinllor price, but in compotition with tho Western Union Tel- cgraph Company.

Tt would bo still moro charming if Do would pay his own monoy aud Gov. Wash- Durn's for it, forin that caso it is tolorably cor- tain that his genorosity would not got tho bottor of his judgment. In the caso of o desporato spoculator doaling with the Unitod Btates Gov- ernment roprosented by Ar. Ohorpenning Cros- woll, with Hubbard as amicus curic, wo should expect the liberality to bo moasured very much by Vandorbilt's greod. s REGISTER YOUR VOTES! Wo roprint this morning o list of tha placos of rogistration in tho various wards. Tho books will bo open to-morrow and next day only. Itis not neceseary to point out the duty of every man intorested in tho succees of tho Law-and- Ouder ticket to sco that his namo is duly en- rollod as a votor, but it is important to romind these ocitizons that thoir opportunity is lim- ited to these two days, and thau any noglect may bring with it vory sorious rosponsibility. The German papors aro making tho most strenuous offort to induce the Hesing voters'to bo prompt in their naturalization, regiatration, and voting. They call upon German monufacturers, wholo- salodaslors, and omployors to give their omployes tho necessary timo to ‘qualify thomsolves a8 votors, and are caroful to designato tho time and place whore voters may bo naturalizod to order. It tho foreign Know-Nothing movemont ontruns in vigilauce tho citizena who havono heed of noturalization, and who are ouly required to 800 that their names ave properly entored in tho poll-books; tho blame must rest upon thoso who are guilty of .the neglect. © No sane man doubts that the respectable poople are in tho ‘lurgo majority in Chicago, and that tho ealoon-keepers can be 80 ovorwholmingly defented that thoy will nevor again try to soizo the local Governmont, If tho result shull provo the contraty, it will be because respectnble citizens shall havo neglected to do thoir duty as citizens, Tho flrat stop is to rogis- tor. Thoso who take tho ‘Intorest to sco that their names are properly enrolled will be sure to vote, Itisa mattor of buta fow moments to- morrow or next day, snd no man who hasa proper spprohonsion of the danger of tho Hos- ing-O'Hura raid will daro to neglect it. THE BANERUFT LAW, . Beammon's nowspaper has beon publish- ing o sories of artioles demanding tho ropoal of the Bankrupt law, without informing its rondors what the rolation of creditor and debtor would bo aftor tho ropenl. Wo have no hesitation in saying that the repeat would be only to the ad- vantage of that olass of debtors who desire to swindlo their creditors, and that all other classes, whother debtors or ereditors, would suffor by it. To domonstrato this it is only necossary to ad- vort to tho condition of things beforo wo had s National Banlrupt law, which condition would nocossarily roturn upou ita repoal, 1, Undeor the comuion law, the creditor whose dobt bocomes duo first can soize the entiro prop- orty of tho debtor to malko himself good. That is,it A B owos O D $10,000 nud has £100,000 worlh of properly, O D, upon tho maturity of the obligation, mmay tio up the totsiof A D' proporty until hia clafm Is satisfiod. Though A B may bave othor croditors to tho amount of §60,000 not yet duo, they huve no ohanco until their obligations maturo, whon they must look to what Is loft, 2. To obviato the injuniico of this rulo, most of tho States, iucluding Illinols, passod statutes onabling debtors to meke an assignment for the heneflt of their croditors whon thoy found thomsolvea in o failing condition., Undor mout of theso stalutes, howovor, tho debtors wero glven the privilego of proferring such of tho oreditors a8 thoy dosired to favor, That ls, A Bmndo an assignment of all his property to O D for the purpose of paying B T the amount of his olaim, then G II the amount of his olalm out of tho residue, and, if anything was lott, to pay J K, and so , on The dferonce botwoon tho statute | of assignment and tho practice at common law ls, that wundor tho former moro priority of & matured dobb did mot entitle & sho stook, and that it cost him and. them an | coditor-to preferonce, to tho exoluslon of sil olaims not yet due, Undor noither the tommon Iaw nor tho statuto was the bankrupt discharged from obligation, aud allowed to take a frosl etart, until ho had paid 100 conts on thodollar, Ibiato ono of thoso two systoms that wo would rolapso if tho Natlonal Bankruptoy not woro ropbaled. A comparison with the pro- vislons of tho presont lnw will show that this would bo n great misfortune for the commercial community, Undor tho National law, all profer- oncos aro prohibited, and wiso safeguards have boon provided to provent the fraudulent ad- vantago by ono croditor” over smothor, Whon o oroditor files a potition in bankruptey, sll tho othor croditors nnd sll tho swsols of tho alloged bankrupt arg brought into court, All olaims aro put upon the sainc inouug: If it con bo mado t5 appoar that tho nssots will pay tho entiro indobtodnoss, the Court hag full pow- ors, by injunction and otherwiso, to prevent the ssonfico of eny of the property. If the onse Provea the dobtor to be actually insdlvent, his assots aro administored undor the direotion of tho Court for the equal benefit of all creditors, ench of whom receivos his exnot proportion ng xapldly ag tho assots can bo converted. If, on tho gencral sottlomont, the bankrupt's proporty has beon sufficlent to pay 50 por cont of all the olalms ngainat him, ho ia discharged from futuro liability, and niny rosume businoss witgout boing hampored and tormonted at every stop. The Inw, thorofors, protocts not only all oreditors alike, but tho bankrupt also, After his whole fortuno has boen turned out to his credit- ors, ho {8 not mado to suffer all tho rest of his 1ifo for his pnst misfortuno, At tho samo time, frandulent bankruptoy aud fraudulont proforonco of oroditors are rigidly averted not only by tho provisious of tho not, but by the discrotionary powers vestod in tho courts, Wo bollovo that tho conspicuous impartiality and proteation of tho presont Iaw on all sides have rendered it almost univoraally accoptablo to the commoraial commubity. o Tho recommendations made by the National Doard of Tradoe for amendiug tho law in such ‘munner as to rondor bankrupt proceodings less costly, and to seouro still further uniformity in tho treatment of croditors, aro woll worthy the consideration of Congress, Tho complaint that tho assots of o bankrupt aro too much deploted by tho fees now allowed the officers of the court sooms to bo woll-founded, and tho substitution of a fixad salary would bo an admirable change. Uniformity in tho oxomptlons, which ara now rogulatod by the various State laws, would un- doubtedly bo desirable ; but tho faob that Stato oxomptions aro really & part of tho contract entored into by dobtor avd creditor before ‘banlkruptoy takes place detracts somewhat from tho forco of the argnumont agninat Stato ox- emptions. ‘Whatover practical smendmonts may be made in tho right direction, it is obvious that o repeal of tho law, throwing tho creditors and debtors back upon the dofactive system of tho Btate statutes and its conourrent hardships, would bo ill-advised. ‘As we havosaid, the only class that could dorive any bonefit from this change are dobtors, who would make it availablo for de- fraudivg thelr creditors. THE PUFFENBERGER TRIAL, Tho jury in tho easo of Joshus Puienborgor, who has just beon, tried upon the chargo of man- slaughtor in cansing tho death of Rogor Drass and othors, by running his ongino lnto tho ps- sougor train at Sag Bridgo in August last, has finished its Jabora and brought in a verdict of not gulity, and Mr. Puffenborger is now at libor- ty. With tho moro fact of hia acquittal wo have nothing to do, but tho manner in which it was announced is too remarkablo to bo passed over in silonco, 'Tho toxt of tha verdiot, which the jury roturned in tho first instance, was as follows: PTIT Juny Roo, Giriaaco, Oct, 24, 1873,~Wo, the Jury, finod tho prisonor uot guilty, s charged in tho indlotmont, and sovercly consure tho Ohicago & Alton Railroad Gompany for omploying incompotont men fn conneotion with tho busincss of tho rond.

After an episodo of applause upon the part of the spectators, which tho Court suppressod by ordoring somo of the applauders to jail, tho District-Attorney roso and roquested to hnve the jury polod, Thenamos of thé jurors ivero: called, and, a8 tho customary quostion was addresged to oach, all amnswored in tho afiirmative, oxcopt Mr. Ridley. Tho Court thoroupon orderad the jury to rotiro again and sgres upon & vordict. After an absonco of half an hour, they returned with the simple verdict : *We, tho jury, flnd tho dofendant not guilty.” Thus the verdict was altered, although originally it had beon migned by the ontire jury, after a long and caroful canvassing of tho, testimony. Aftor signing tho vordict, and having hod amplo time to form his conclusions definitely and final- 1y, one of theso jurora changes hia mind, and the result of this change is tho cscape of the Rallrond Company from the censure which lad ‘been pasaed upon it. Tho action of this juryman isno trifling affair. It is not a toghnicality which can bo put asido with & wavo of tho hand, It is an offonso sgainst the dignityof tho Court, It isan offenso egainst tho solemnity which should attnch to vordiots in cases liko thin. It is an offensoe agninst public decorum ‘and a reproach upon ju- dicial proceodings. If such an offonse is allowod to pues unrobuked, its effect will bo to impair tho publio confidence in vordicts, and rondor the decisions of jurios a mockery and & farce. Judgo Williams, thorofore, owes it to the dignity of tho Beneh, and to the reputation of this juror, which msy otherwiso euffor, to investigate this matter, and ascortain undor what influences aud by what procoss this remarkablo chiango of mind wag brought about.

Tho lady was! soatod with tho Roy. Mr. Wendto, pastor of tho ohurch, upon tho platform, and took an active/ intorest in the singlog snd othor sorvices. Ter- sonally, Mrs, Chency is & rather masslvelys formed woman, in tho later days of lifo, withy o large, woll-shaped head, undisguised by suporfluous puffs, and a large, strong, rathor aquilino faco, Hor gray halr wna simply knottod behind; hor & volco . id vory agrooablo, though slightly monotonous, and her dolivery clear and intelligible.

And yot we wero told that tho practice of worship was dying out, and from overy indication tho romark was only too truo. Inn political point of viow this was rights ‘Worship, like all other phases of human lifo, could lust only while_freo and floxiblo. In our own consciousness, it scemod that wo wore log— ing mmch by giving up this form of worship.

Thore wero threo face tors that wont to mako up tho scuse of worship. Oue of thom was the respouso of creation to its Uroator, taking form in the gonorally accopted: beliof that it 18 appreciated by the God above. It was o notural pioty recognizod by Wordsworth in his familiae lines to tho rainbow, It did not matter whothor God ox~ pocted it. It was tho samo fdoling of oxprossion which promotod lovora to be parpetually ropoat~ .ing nssurances of their nffection, In all hours of approhonsion ovil keomed mightior than good.. Thon tho foscful heart soes and tromblos, and the Oreative power takes a malevolent form, to be propitinted, This flwliufi took form in the division of the gods into good aud ovil ones, and. ultimately in tho Obristian doctrines of a. beneficent God and o maloficont Dovil, and honce the wsecond element, sacritico.. Tho lnst elomont of worship, which was doing the greatost ovil, or tho greatest good was tho power to raise tho soul to & condition superior to the ordinary ovents of lifo. It ex= erted the largest influcnco, and would bo ro-. garded a6 the most important elomont, Masio was & _natural expression of lovo and praise, as was dancing to music. Tho latter was an old. Hobrow_motliod of giving oxprossion of joy to the Lord, andyet it was altogother ovor~ Jooked by those ~churches which professd. to baso ‘their dootrinca upon their ritunl. The motion of tho Shakers in their- strange march was eminently inspiriting. Its tondoncy to oxtromes had boen tho causs of having Leen abandoned by tho more staid and sober Churchos, Tho sepcaker went on to. elaborate the beauty of sacrifico, as it took formy in tho Buddhist legends, ns woll as the Old ‘Teatament_typee, in Jephtha's daughtors and others, In the Romun Church, tha eacrifice had beon transforred from the individ- ual to anothor. In all forma of religion, in the templos ¢t Jupitor, Juggomant, and Jehovah, bloody kuman encrifices bnd beon made. Tha reading of sacred bools did not seem to lave beon wusod as charms smong the Qroaks and Romans, but the Jow delighted ta read the sacred law. In Enstern natious tha reading of sacred bools is frequently preseribed, and tho pious Christian dovoteo ofton reads through the Biblo over and_over again without athering the most romoto intelligenco from it. 'ho Moslom paid more worslip to the Koran than tho Christinu to the Diblo, This idea of Worsliip by roading was by no means nu un- natural development of human uature. Toa ‘much roverenco of those charms would be bettox for us, The Book is humanity iu its most sana and thougbtful ~hour. TPurificution was another expression of worship. Clristinn< ity had ~ symbollzed it with only ono cerowmony, that of baptism. Tho desire to appear at elurch in one's bost clothing was merely an act of royorenco. Ouo of the rorsons for fasting as o religious coroniony was tho ab normal sengitivenoss of tho brain which result~ od, aud whioh left tho_fastor in a condition for dreams and visions, Eating and drizking waa also a coromony, Tho Ohristian communion was now little botter than a form, the mere sym= bol of o aeparture from & very doar friond. like manoor tho spevker spoko of pilerimagos and consocration of timo, Useful s these forms and exproselons bLud frequontly boon, thero was not one which had not buen carried to adreadful oxtrome.
