The editor of the Fairbury Times,

The Southern papers exultingly de
clare that murders, and other crimes
are committed in the North as well as
In the South. This Ib true, but the
point Is in the punishment of the
orirainala. In the South criminals go
unpunished, crime is winked at by
society, and the newspapers are its
apologists; while in the North
the people and the press de
mand the punishment of criminals,
and criminals are hunted down and
nunlshed.
We know that many in some sense
defy natural law, and assume that
thete is no power that will, if indeed
it can, control it. But the assump
tion is so manifestly fallacious it id u
wonder ibatuy do not perceive the
fallacy. Man is -every day contioling
natural law. We plow the soil and
sow the seed, and thus make natural
law do what of itself it never would
have done. We control and direot
natural law, to the working out of
otherwise impossible results, in the
building of every edifice and the con
struction of every maahine, in the
transportation of our products, In the
improvement of our stock, in the
preparation of our food and clothing,
and in ways too numerous to enum
erate. Now, unless we assume there Is no
overruling power, superior to man,
there is no reason why it may not
control and direct natural law, to an
extent as mucii greater than anything
man can do, as it is more powerful
than man. There are some tilings
such overruling power will not do. It
will not tuui night Into day nor ob
struct the succession of the seasons.
But the removal of the looust pest is
something it has done, and therefore
somethlngthatmay reaeonably behop
ed for again, nnd so we judge also
prayed for. Kcncsaw Times.
The editor of the Times has a right,
we believe, to the title of "Prof." or
"Rev.," just as you please, nnd may
be thought to be a deep thinker and
logical reaeoner, especially upon such
subjects as he discusses above. But
we will take a brief look into theProf
fessor's reasoning, which to us "is so
manifestly fallacious It is a wonder
that any do not perceive the fallaoy."
"Man ia every day conlroling natur
al law." nad ho said applying in
stead of coutroling, he would have
been nearer the truth.
"Wo plow the soil and sow the
seed." Why? For the production of
a certnin result we apply to the seed
certain natural laws, and those laws,
unchangeable, operate, and we cannot
"make" them produce a different re
sult without the application of some
other natural law. If we want a field
of grain we subjeot tho seed to one
law and If we want the seed for food
we subject it to another, and we can
not make tho peed do anything with
out the application of a natural law
necessary to the result desired. IQwe
cast the seed upon a stone we cannot
make it produce there, because the
law to make It bring forth fruit of its
kind is not applied ; but it i'b as much
gverned by a natural law on the stone
as it would be in the warm damp soil.
If we "control"' natural law, as the
Prof, declares, we con "make" it
grow just as well on the stone as if In
the ground.
The Prof, introduces the above ar
tiole as follows:
Quite a number of our papers have
made merry over Gov. Plllebury's
proclamation of a day of fasting and
prayer, for relief from IocubIs.
But the fact Is that Providence has
done more to relieve both Minnesota
and Nebraska from the pests, a thou
sand times over, than all tho people
have done.
The Prof, means, by "Providence,"
the direct Interposition of God, wo
suppose ; and it iB legitimate for us to
Inquire, of the Prof, of course, why,
while he was about it, he did not kill
all ot tho grasshoppors? There aro
some left an occasional field Is being
devastated. And this ia sufficient
reason for us to believe there was no
special order concerning the matter,
but that a combination of natural
laws, hard on tho hopper, has had
a tendency to destroy most of them.
"Old Probability" and tho almanac
maker, and tho entomologists, gave
reason to hope for tho im potency of
tho hoppers, long before Pillsbury'a
proclamation, or the Catholic masses,
and are deserving of the credit of re
storing among the people confidence
to plant with a hope to reap-. In the
spring of 1875, notwithstanding pray
ers and tears, the country was devas
tated. Wo would not charge tho ca
lamity on "Providence," because we
do not believe he canned it or could
have averted it. The sensible conolu-
ls mat mere was not men, as now, a
combination of natural causes, to de
stroy the grasshoppers and save the
crops.
"Washington special : Senator Mor
tcnHeUerattruela a great ileal of at
tention. The southern republicans
ore not at all satisfied with it because
they claim that it is neither one thing
or the other. Senator Patterson, of
South Carolina, who is here, says that
he sees nothing in the letter to indi
cate that Morton will oppose Hayes,
but he does not believe that Morton
intends to stand by Kellogg to secure
his admission. He say?, however,
that he does not think Morton will
succeed, plainly intimating that he
does not intend to vote for the admis
sion of Kellogg. Morton's pets in of
fice here ore terror-siricken by the
letter as they regard it as an open at
tack upon the adminlefrptb.n and
consequently dangerous to tho secur
ity of their positions.
There seems to be various opinions
as whether Morton's letter ia for the
"policy" or against it. Wo construe
it to mean that tho great war Gover
nor Is willing to make the best he can
of a bad thing, nnd a tiling which
cannot be remedied at present.

The Way it Will be In 1880.
The Enquirer, of Columbus, Ga.
tells how a united South and a divid
ed North will elect a Dem oof atio Pres
ident in 1SS0, as follows :
"In the "next electoral college fhe
south will poll 13G solid democratic
votes. There will not bo a returning
board throughout the laud to contra
vene the will of the people. Only
New York (35 votes) and Indiana (IS
votes) are needed to olect a president
in 1SS0. In those two states the dem
ocrats canconfiolidate.all their money.
These won and with the solid Eouth
besides we shall have 188 votes, and
that is more than i3 required to elect.
The republicans can have every other
state. The democrats will keep con
trol of the house, and before their
president is Installed they will have
the senate by a good majority, and
hence they will hold every branch of
the government. Is it not then impu
dent for Hayes, an interloper and
notorious fraud, to expect to divide
the south and that grand party ? With
the triumph of democracy, which is
so' certain, one can truly feel he is an
American, and not debarred from
holding office because he wore the
gray, and had manhood to he proud
of it. The south need not go north
for a president in 1S80. unless she
chooses.
Wo would like to see or hear a good
reason for doubting the conclusions of
the above.

The ship was then six
m'les southwest from Tartar shoals

captain having known by observation
her position at 8 o'clock. The danger
upon which she struck is not on any

frequently there. The ship was at
ouce turned towards the shore, gradu
ally sinking, with full steam on, when
she grounded on o sandbank at 10 :20
a. in. Fortunately, three compart

captain was on the bridge an hour be

water on a sand bottom. Next morn
ing a foot of the stern was seen out of
water. The whole body of the ship ia
submerged and the mizzen-mastgone.
The baggage of the passengers, furni
ture, etc., was constantly floating
ashore during tho day. Tho money
of the passengers in the purser's hands
the ship's money, and all the baggage
is totally lost.
IT WAS A RUN FOR LIFE.
From an Interview with many pas
sengers I find that there is a unani
mous sentiment of warmest feeling
toward the commander and officers.
Every man eaya emphatically that
the officers could have done no more.
They did all that men could do. The
captain declares that his officers and
men stood to their duty nobly, and
none but heroes on board, of the be&t
drilled man-of-war could have acted
with better discipline and responded
to everv order with more fidelity.
Contain Waddell. Purser Jorome, Mr.
L. B. Parrott.E. Ascall, I. Stewart,
and K.Sutton go up over-land, tak
ing conveyance here and proceeding
by rail from Anaheim. The Costa
Rica remains to take ou board coal,
and will probably not get away from
here until to-morrow morning.
