AY which it is devoutly to be hoped will not aa govern its fature history, ' The or Su Philosophers of the materialistic #cliopl ~ will doubtless see in this cluster of eri _ only the workings of some natural dF pliysi- cal law. They will connect this mania for homicide and suicide with the idleness, the dissipation, or the excitement of the New Year's holidays. Pertitiys, too, they will say that the unuenally mild weather of the season has eomething to do with the matter; or that, as the Spectator once cautioned maids and bachelors against the love-in- spiring airs of May, so the month of January is to be regarded ag one peculiarly provova- tive of bloodshed. Profounder inquirers will auggest that the disposition to commit erime is conta- gious, Iike a disonse, and that reading or hearing of a deed of violence begets imita- tions of it through mental sympathy, in somewhat the same manner as hysteries ran through 1 girls’ school, or religions frenzy through a revival meeting. One year with another, thore are only on an average so many munlers and suicides; but they happen in groups, because they are usually committed only under strong excitement, which has ® brief sway, and is then for a tine controlled again. Another class of people are disposed to believe in the old-fashioned idea that evil spirits have more or less to do with impelling men to evil actions, and that these spirits at times make extraordi- nary efforts, and have extrrordinary success in accomplishing their hellish purposes. ‘The old indictments for murder used to charge that the accused, “not having the fear of God before his eyes, but being thereunto in- stigrated by the devil, did feloniously beat, cut, stab, and wound” his victim, 80 as to occasion his death. Modern improvement has in most places done away with this for. mula as superstitious; but it is retained in many others as having some foundation in the truth, But whichever way we attempt to account forthe phenemenon, it.is nono the less re- markable and deserving of the earcfal atten- tion of persons interested in the suppression wf crime. It shows that, notwithstanding the advance of civilization, there are far too mony human beings under the dominion of their evil passions, and that there is abun- dant work yet to do in the world by preach: ers, reformers, and philanthropists, —— A Warning to Young Lawyers. The recent exposures of the divorce frauds have produced a most salutary effect, Law- yers who but a short time since would have taken divorce cases, and been glad of them, as a matter of business, refuse them now, because they are afraid of being imposed on by their clients’ statements, and thereby having their own reputations injuriously affected. A highly respectable firm of law- yers in Wall street were lately waited on by a welldressed, middleaged woman, who, as she entered their otlice, was weeping. The senior partner heard her story of the wronss she had endured by reason of Ler husband's misconduct. He told her that the firm did not like to take the management of divorce coses, but that os hers was apparently one which the good government of society de- manded should be exposed, he would act as her attorney, But when he came to institute the preliminary legal procesdings, he found that the woman had already been divorced three times, Ont of regard for the publie morals and the good reputation of the firm, he speedily abandoned the suit.

What are they Driving att "UPrecisely what the Democrats hope to ul- timately accomplish by their nugatory pro cotdings in the Legislature touching the /Fifleenth Amendment, is not clearly appa Yent, They must know that their action will not have the elightest effect upon the mein qtteation of the final adoption or rejection of the Amendment. Nor is an ostentatious dis- ‘play on their part necessary to satisfy their Friends in other States that the leaders of the New York Democracy are “ sound” on negro uffrage, for they have proved that in ahun- dred ways. Besides, they cannot win any more votes at home by harping on a string which was long ago fretted to a thread. + Can it be that some considerable share of the Demoeratic party, in the event of the adoption of the Amendment, intend to pre- vent by foree, if need be, its practical operation In all States where they have control, and Sbat the Democracy of New York desiro to tlaim the honor of taking the first step in Yhin revolutionary line of policy? If the Amendment is adopted, we think the movers in this proceeding will, ere their next Na- tional Convention adjourns, rac the day they initiated euch a programme, ! There was atime when the Democracy of New York, with a candidate for the Presi dency on their shoulders, would have been averse to driving from the ranks of the party voters enough to turn the scale against their favorite in onethird of the States of the Union, But times are changed. The New York Democracy probably have no candidate for the Presideney, At all nis, TOMPKINS, Van Bunun, Wiratr, and Mancy are — Shall We Buy Cuba? ‘Ywo of our contemporaries yesterday pub lished an erroncous report that negotiations for the sale of Cuba to the United States have for some time past been going on be- tween the rulers of Spain and the President of the United States. The Hc vald makes this anuouncement jn the form of a telegram from Washington. It is alleged that “our Min. ister in Madrid has sounded both Sennano and Prim os to their willingness to sell Cuba to the United States, and that he has the highest assurances that both those prominent statesmen are favorable to the project, and are only waiting a favorable op- portuuity to consummate it.” The informa- tion of the Zima is conveyed in a letter from Havana, © There is hardly any doubt,” says the wr “that the actual Govern- ment in & s in treaty with the insur. gente and the American Government. ‘To mention this fect openly would be the signal of ther downfall, and the immediate en: trance of Prince ALFONS¢ the Spaniards, with Lr * during his minority That Piao and Signano are not unwill ing pell Cv to the United States i probably true. are cunning knaves, alwa , and perfectly able to understand that, as Spain is Lound to lose the island, any swin they may get for it will Le 60 much cleer gain.

Danwim Ssrrn in connection with his recent decision in the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad case, The substance of the decision was that the Directors elected last September in the interest of Mr. Rasser and his associntes were entitled to the possexsion of the rond, while those elected by Messrs. Fisk and Govxp and thetr frientis wore not. The law of the decision cau be reviewed on appeal, and, under ofdinary circumstances, would be presumed to be in accordance with Judge Burtn’s honest convictions; but his conduct at the time of amowncing it was certainly very un- becoming. Contrary to his previous promise to the counsel of the Fisk party, it is said that he communicated bis findings of fact and law to the counsel of the Rawsey party, without notifying their opponents, and thus deprived the latter of the opportunity of taking an appeal before judg- nent was entered, More than this, he showed in the most indecent manner that, so far from Deing impartial in the matter, bis sympathies were entirely with the Ramsey party, One of the counsel for the Fise Board says *Tuomediately ater reaching ny office Lrepatre to the Juslge’s office, adjoining the State Library in the Court House; heard that he was in, but on knock- tng at the door found it locked.
