"upon their own recognizances," becaus
} they hare poteS, and their victim is poo
, but respectable woman. Well, what is til,
practical effect of all this!
The writer answers this question by rela
ting several cases of atrocious violence re
Gently committed upon unprotected females
and in conclusion, gives the following Incl
dent: I
On Thursday morning, again woman
named Sarah Jane Smith, and two men named
Murry and Myers, were arrested by the Sixth
Ward Police under the following circum.
stances: 1t appears that the woman Smith is
the keeper of house of ill-fame at No. 11G
Centre-st., and that on Tuesday last she pro-
cured from an Intelligence Office a girl named
Mary Quinn, whom she engaged to act in the
capacity of chambermaid. The girl was ta-
ken to her new place wholly unconscious OF
the character of the house, and was therein
duced to drink liquor. In the evening, the
prisoner Murry, by consent of the woman
Smith, went into the girls room and attemp-
red to effect her ruin; but failing in his pur-
! pose, he endeavored to accomplish his object
by violence, when the girl screamed, and the
woman Smith and Meyers went into the room
to stop her cries and to aid Murray in his di-
abolical attempt. She, however, continued
her screams, and several Of the police went
into the place and rescued her and took the
others into custody. The girl is poor and
being able to give bail for her appearance as a
witness. The woman Smith and men are out
on bail; and, by employing good lawyers they
viii be able to put off the case, and so keep
the girl in prison until she will agree TO clear
out if they viii procure bail for her. That's
the way the thing is done in NewYork, :
For heavens sake, don't take your cue, in
politics, from New York-a city in which al
men of political influence owe their positions,
in a great measure, to their leniency towards
rogues.
| grieve to say that portion of the City
Press is answerable, to certain extent, for
the prevailing Ecentiousness. Never be en-
vious either of the wide circulations or The
extended influence of city journals. | could
tell you some strange stories about some of
them-how they are mainly supported, and
by what means they acquire their influence.
Two or three such advertisements every week
as the following, for example, would entirely
pay for your paper and press work and leave
everything else clear profit. New-York pub
fishers don't do such dirty work at the usual
rates:

| have clipped the above from the Herald
of last week. They are quite decent COM
pared with many that appear in that extraor-
dinary journal, although every New-Yorker
knows that they were written by seducers in
search of hiding places for themselves and
their paramours from the pursuit of wronged
husbands or injured fathers.
