New.Ier4eY rKurn nnity.

Mr. Green, if we rightly understand the New
ark Daily, has reported to The Judiciary Commit
zee Of the New.Jersey House bill " to abolish
which is really bill to reestablish Imprisonment
for Debt! 1t is by such cheats as this tina. the
advocates Of crab-fashioned policy invariably pur-
sue their ends. The Fill restores Imprisonment
on all Debts contracted prior to July 9TH, 1912
aiso, in cases where the plaintiff resides in the
State, and the defendant does not, or is about to
leaveit Well what determines whether the de.
fsndant is about to leave the State? The oath OF
the creditor, of course. He has only to hear or
suspect (Which it is easy to do at any time) that
the alleged debtor is about TO travel out of the
State, and he swears out a capias and walks of
his victim to Jail in short order. Thus one-tenth
Of the population Of New-Jersey may put the
other nneenths in jail instanter by virtue of this
beautiful law to abolish Imprisonment. fer
Debt! Out on the rascally hypocrisy
The Committee decide not TO allow plaintiff
TO attach the property of defendan, till he has
obtained judgement against him, because (say
they very correctly he may lock up all man has

filthy jails, when, after oil, she may not owe one

L. not the liberty even of him who has no property
dear to him? We have thought it is.
We do hope the Legislature will take heed to
its doings, and not allow to be put in jail

no compromise in the case. If man is knave,

frst-rate reason for letting him work none at all

We learn from the President of this Association
that active measures in operation to carry tor

stock, and most of its members are we'll skilled in
the various branches of business to be carried on
A deputaiion will, we learn. shortly visit Rock
land and the neighboring counties, to determine
on the location. 1t is the desire OF this Associa-
ton to carry on agricultural and manufacturing
operations together with extensive gardening. 1t
is believed that opportunities for constant and
agreeable industry, together with the immense ad-
vantages resulting from the economies introduced
and perfect system of industrial education and
care Of the sick and aged, will present model of
industrial and social organization worthy the ex-
ample of all who wish to live by honest industry
and in peace with all men. The Association needs
the aid of capital and hopes that some person will
be found willing, the security Of its lands iocks
and buildings, to advance it. The aum of $4,000
would, i. is believed, be amply sufficient cash Gu
pital to insure success. We have taken some stock
in this Association, and mean to take more. In
the meantime we commend both the gentlemen
who are a, the head Of this movement, and the
purposes they have in view, to the hearty coopera-

The SoMERs MurlNr.-On Monday last Geo.
w. Warner, one of the crew of the Somers now in
confinement at the Navy Yard, on a charge of be-
ing concerned in the mutiay on board of the So
mers, was taken before MIR. Duryea, one of the
Commissioners in the Supreme Court in Kings
county, on writ of habeas corpus directed to Com
modore Perry, requiring him to show cause why
he (Warner) should not be discharged from GUS
tody. The ground on which his discharge was
sought was, that he was bound apprentice to
the United States Navy until the attainment of his
majority, which he had reached the previous day,
the 9Th of Feb, and that be was therefore no
no longer subject to the rules and regulations of
the Navy. This was opposed on the part of the
Government, and full argument having been had,
the Commissioner yesterday decided that Warner
could no, be discharged, but must be renanded
to the custody of Commodore Perry, which was
accordingly done.
