The Grand Jury Is a bodly, under our laws, of great welglht, and thl present jury iHs (orl psed of gentle'men of high characttr in this Community. lThe grave charges of ilnhumltlan Ity, nay, of gross brutality, tlhey have brought against the management of the Insano Asy lum, and the Boys' loouse of Refuge, have, therefore, been universally accepted as trui. It has not been thought that so reslpectable and ODDservative a body would mako such horrible charges against public officlals except upon the fullest and most irrefutable testimony. Hence public Indignatlon against Melssr. S::1dwards and Ditrnmond has run very strong and high. But;, nevertheless, these gentlemen have a right to a full and impartial hearing. If they are guilty, there Is illn measure o(f con demnation too(gr'at to be imposed upon them. SUpon the other hand, if the (irland Jury has acted in so grave a matter without due and positive proof, thtrensurn of the publlieshould fall upon a body which, intrusttl with high powers of Investigation, ILha too1 lightly atnd upon Insull'ici.ent tA.stilnonly, WIhl,' tdnllllalt testimony could bla een 1 h 1n had. ai.d ('harges. of Infatmous neglc'('l.of duty alaingiI olthter pub-11 lioofflcilis.

By an old metaphor the' irell'man in peacer Is likened to tih soldier in war. 'lThe metaphor should go further, and liken the liremnan only to the patriot solhliir, whIo ightS and dliles for the protection of tihe h(ms of his people and the helpless cr1,t ures who, gathetr about their hearthstones. The santl mrIll'iful considera tion for others, the same 1 u.ellillsh devotion, the same love of excitem1ent, th1 same indtil' ference to danger that marks the one is ailJ charatcterstc le of the otlher. If death or dis abling woundls overcome the soltlier, a grate ful country provides by pension for his de crepitude or the wants of those who were de pendent upon him. e rtainly thie lireman is no less deserving of consideration on the part of those flor the protection of whoset, interests he has as unsellishlly sacrificed his life. If this be true, then, M. Lehr and J. W. Hartnett should not be forgotten nor their families left to suffer in conseqlentce( of their heroism. We are informed that the relief fund of the Firenieu's Association is almost exhausted, and htence this appeal. But, even if this were not the case, there is ever reason why the proper provision for thel families of all firemen who die at their post should be made by the insurance companies and the citizens in whose behalf their sacri floee are made. When such relief comes from the Firemen's Association it is charity, born of friendship and brotherhtw )d; but when it comes from the source from which it is now sought, it is but the acknowledgment of ser vices rendered and sacrililes incurred in te half of those who profit&d by the exertions and devotion of the martyrs. We hope most sincerely that the claims of the families of these unfortunate men will meet with a hearty and liberal recognition. Nothing can compensate their families for tIle loss they have suffe'rcd, yet they can be made comfortable and saved from want, and cer talnly this mulh is their due. Rise up. Gov.

We do not belive that any considerable number of the pIoNpl) of Mississippi or of Vlekslurg will endorso the "oarse comments of the Vicksbulrg Ilerald on the reoent .lo (qunt and most noble address of .1effierson IDavis at Mississlppl City. In that speewh M r. IDavis said nothing which might not have bnel uttere l In Maine or New Ilampshire, or in any othelr State of the Union. He counseold obeliience too he laws aRid devotion to the constitutlon of our fathers: he expressedi a haughty scorn of tihe systellof ward poliltlc which has hbeon natl onaliz7l and which cl on stitutes the stat,'esmanship of the present day, anli be - I'prjTi'Md the- hope, which w ,trust anirmates the Ibreast of every hlonest rlflnl in Amenrica. that a way will be found by whlich theol'lriinal chlaraltor )o t.hisI govern mllolnt, mlay Ih restore"t, stnd the high"r state's manship of the past onceI more brought tI th, front..

We hlave lol respect for the counse(l l of mnren who hold that the |)ayonlet Iand the bullelt do terlmine the naturel of conlstitutionsl and settle q((ues(lton of right, or the wisdom or unwls dlom of great political prinliplls.

If weI (coneredl that tll' sMIIC'sM of the UInion arms chilige the princtIpls of the con stditutioln, we are forceL- alsJo to concetdo that thoe success of thi) treat Fraud In 1877 has legal izoll the employmenlt of perjury, forgery and revolutlon in the election of a P'residlnt. We declin n } o concet thesl peorrillioull and delstructive prol(posltions. The constitution Imllans in 1574 justt what it meant when it was adopt.,l by thell States, and just what It meant in 1500. In I 1o0 Mr. 1)avis believed in the (ldoetrin( of s(I(',"ssion. Nearly all the leading 1)ermxcrats in the North and South coincided with his views. The public man who believes in a principle or a policy andi shrinks from carrying it into practice when a public exl goncyarisels which demands its application, is simply a coward. But the Northern peoplle, and, we aLre pained to say, many Southern men andi journals who have sunk to the low moral plianl' of the polllitics of to-day, are at tempting to reverse this judgme+,nt and brand as traitors thosle men who conscicentiously at tempted at all risks to carry 'out thi principles they had advocated in the U1nionil and belicvesl In all their lives. It is a bitter lie to say that suIchi menl were traitors or rebels. The simple truth is, that the men who uphold tile right of se('ssilon, and then joined inl to crush th(ose who) attemptedl to carry it loult, woIl' cowards. Mr. I)avis is a mlr(t ll OIf firmll Iolvictionl, a0l4l Iher I.'liovc·4 niow whIat h]1 hs tlways t.lbyvtd, anti holiiving which he risked over;thing to milltintain. ie an'd thoullsantI of owthers t hillk with him. stiol hal leLver beISn ihlr'aiiiil o" tli witr 1wouV(l have niti.', anld not, Ia drop less of heroic blood woub.l hlave e~eon spilld. The South did not, go to war for sinssion any more than the English cut. oil King CharlI,,' hIma arid tlh Fren m h overthrow Louis X VI for revolution. ThI South l.lieved that h r rights alnl itell ntestc were about to hea at-I tlaked by the North, and her people si, re sord att.rmpt of tlh North to forme the.m to sub ruit to what they l'lihevead to he ruln hlel to iwar. If we had never heard of because wevo would have re;ort.ed l to revolu tion to prot'ct our rights and intlrests.i againset lhei aggrgiession of the North. Dle strioy the doctrine i of ceestsi n, anrl we still have the right of revolution; detny that and you deny the right of the people to resist liluration, tyranny ior fraud you legithlia tie despotism. To detnounce anil "spit utpon" the doctrine of seeiuksion, to use the language of the V icks burg paper, will not render thi Union on one bit more secure than It would he if the doctrine were cainonized at the highest right of the States. Wrong and oppression brought on th war, and wrong and oppression will bring n another war, war, whether we adlmit the doctrile of secession or not. Not four years ago the East threatened the country with revolution if the restumption act were repealed. The fires of revolution are now stouldering all over the West, and the pjoplee are inatemper to rise against the bond holders and capitalists, who they believe are oppressing them. Let the miserable politi cianl and newspapers that are howling against Jeff Davis, and secession, and South ern rebels, looxk to their own hearthstones. Corrupt legislation and the arrogance of the money power are fanning a flame which, if it once breaks out, will leave the rebellion in the shade. Crying down secession and abusing as traitors men who believe In it will not save the country. Remember, the people hold from God himself the right of revolution, and, when the incentive is sufficient, they will exercise it. The way to save the country is to return to honoest politics, sound lgisla tion and patriotic statesmanship. We have not felt it necessary to notice the columns of abuse the Republican papers have been heaping upon Jefferson Davis. Poli ticians and jiournals which uphold an admin istration which was established by perjury and forgery, by overriding the rights of the States, and by every conceivable species of fraud, find congenial employment in abusing the great head of the Confederacy. But we confess to chagrin and mortification at seing articles in a Southern Democratic p'per such as those which have appeared in the Vick.burg. Herald. As for the New York Times and Tri bune, the Chicago daily bulletins of indecency, and other Northern Republican journals, let them shriek on; they cannot disturb the ear or arouse a single emotion in the hart of tW u& ai whow ,o L, remainder of his days at Beauvoir, for he r is as high above his traduchers as Is the orbed I mon above the dog that howls at its path through the heavens.

SUNSTROKES IN ST. LOUIS. The news brought by the telegraph yehter day that fifty-four persons hadl died In St. Louis from the effects of the terrible heat prevailing there, is alarming indeed; yet, horrible as it is. it is scarce half the truth Besides these fatal cases there were some two hundred other victims prostrated by tIhe weather un(ler treatment, many of whom, if the experience of the previous days holds good, will never recover; and lastly, there are scores of deaths due to the heat, yet caused only indirectly by it--persons in feeble health that the heat has broken down and killed. The mortality among children, for instance, is particularly large, yet in but few cases o ti their death be ascribed to sunstroke or congestion of the brain; it is due rather to those many complaints of infancy, fatally aggravated and augmented by a temperature that forbids that rest by day or night which nature needs and demands, by a heat which keeps up a constant irritation that saps and exhausts vitality. Considering further the fact that scores of the victims of sunstrok,"s who may escape death, will yet permanent ly l ,se their health and faculties, It is evident that the sun at St. Louis has caused a mortal ity as great as the worst epidemics that have visited this country: in fine, the deaths from heat in St. Louis, which boasted, only a few da(!ys since, of being the healthiest city in the Union, make that city equal to New Orleans in the worst days of our great yellow fever epidemic of 1853. s~8Bat~rst~"iu~ep~e~ae" begaranlai t~rf - day.
