Capt. Roberts published no "eard." This piece of
folly the exclusive act and deed of that most con-
summate cexcomb, Hosken. Capt. Roberts laid
claim to no priority, because the city, with one voice
awarded to him the honor of coming here first.
And as to the fact, who originated the project of
building an Atlantic steamer? it was the "British
and American Steam Navigation Company" That
ends the business. II was the Western company who
hastily built and sent out the Western. They carri-
ed out the ideas of the others. The keel of the Brit
sh Queen laid first; and she could not be rea-
dy IN time, the Sirius out. What more need
we say?
"PoLcE CouRr." This imposing title has been
fr dad he af he De-
lice Office in the Halls of Justice. In oden times il
used 10 be plain "Poce Office" the heads of which
were denominated magistrates" However, our
republic was but an experiment, and all experience
goes to show that GAS it was in the beginning, it is
now. and ever shall be, world without end-Amen."
Men as fond of titles r a republic, as they ever
were under monarchy. Human folly, human pride,
human arice, and human passions generally pre-
dominate and influence human morals pretty much
In the same way the sixty second year of American
Independence they did in the days of the Cesars.
Every man strives for power and only wishes power
that he may exercise il in some way or other upon
those of their fellow beings whom they can by any
means overeach
Justice somewhat overleaped i,selfn the fitting up
of the new prison. The great desire of showing of
induced the "Judges" to cause the magistrates seat
TO be elevated to such an extraordinary height that
il was impossible for those the bench TO distinctly
hear what was the matter at issue before them.
This defect was discovered yesterday by Justice
Hopson, who called in the carpenters and caused the
Justices bench to be leveed to something nearer a
democratic equality. We wonder that the alteration
had not suggested itself before to the magistrates az
the ridiculous elevation of the magsteria seat gave
to the whole proceedings before il most ladicrous
effect. It wac quite funny sometimes to see Justice
Hopsen, who is rather hard of hearing, straining
and leaning over the Egyptian pannellnR. his hand
up ear, endeavorns to listen TO the address Of
a complainant, who is snvsIling most lamentable
complaint something after this manner :
Com.-If il plase you sir-I've poor sick hHsband
at home, and poor sick baby in my arens, and I've
coined to complain against Patnck Waters, bekase
he's been batting me, your honor
Mag.-Whsi did you do with this mans money,
you hussey you, tina, you robbed him of last nght7
Como dear, o dear-is il myself that's charged
with s,eahng-O murther
Msg-Come, you better give it up. Here officer,
take her over till she makes up her mind about it,
Officer.-This is not the woman, sir. That's her,
yonder, Margaret ONeil.
This explanation being made, the order was coun-
tsrmanded, and the woman told to go about her bs-
SineSs, which Sne 1881 no tiHlc VI
to get OF so.
We assure the magistrates Of the pohae and all
other dgnatares whatsoever that nothing 10 so beau
tifuIly nor % dgnified simplicity.
We will tell them what to do no that they knock
ed away and carted eff the nonssnsica sham throne
and bulk head that cncumbersd the beautiful chamber
appropriated to their use. Let your joiner fit up
large table ten or twelve feet square, and have il
vered with green cle,h. Let that and dszen chairs,
with sufficient railing in frsnt to keep back the loaf
ers and idcrs be the only articles OF furniture in the
room Let the head of this table be appropriated for
the magistrates with the two clerks upon their right
and left. Let the accused party be interroga,ed al
one side of the table and the complainant at the other
and let the other places be appropriated to counsel
concerned in the proceedings and the reporters for
the public press. Cases Of private nature may be
disposed of as at present; but all others should be
conducted in a manner that the public may be made
acquainted with every important particular. Hereto
fere il has been impossible to give anything like cor
rect statement Of the proceedings Of the police Office
because the public press have facilities afforded
them bat have to depend, in many instances, upon
second hand versions Of q story.
BY an arrangement Of this kind, il is true, msgis-
uaies cannot make 80 imposing display Of au,hon-
ty as they do at present. but our word for II, every
plain, honest man in the community will admire and
