CRIME INCREASING IN New YORK.
The New York Courier and Enquirer
draws the following picture ofcrime in
that city:
The crimes which are committed
hour by hour. day and night, and al
most as boldly and successfully in the
eye Of The snu ~ under The cloak Of
darkness, are mol those to which men
can be driven by want, even in ma
jority Of instances; andin case of'hefts
or rohb, ries themselves, the greater
number are commit ed by men who
are actually not suffering from poverty
and, what il more. by individuals who
are well known tothe police. Brutal
ity. in all its worst phases, appear TO
be increasing il a manner really alar-
ming. l. is evident ibat there are
gangs Of creatures infesting the city.
with the exception of n few f,vortd
quarters, the members Of which de.
igh, in whence and keep each other
in eountenanee and give mutual aid
in the infliciion Of It. Men are in
suited and beaten. and women assault
ed and even forced to submit to The
last outrage with appearant impunity,
and the very h"lpless children do not
escape the brutal violence Of Williams
who either escape detection or elnde
pursuit. II rdly night passes with
out many crimes Of this sort being
committed in The public streets, OF
witltih ~" and ear slot Of those who
ara traypr.i Ing them and IF the mum.
Der committed the public hardly hears
Of one tenth and If those which are
brought tnli4ht some way or other.
how few Of The perpetrators are brought
to that eondign punishment whicl, IL
their due, aud BY which alone society
can secure itself against them. Add
10 these the holdpst ibeIts and robhefi
es committed daily hy he score, and
with like IMMUNITY, and judge whether
New York. with All It's machinery for
The detection and punishment Of crime
purchased at an outlay extrayagani
beyond all reason, can be considered
