PREVENTION BETTER THAN CURE.-The Phil
adelphia North American, in an article recon-
mending the adoption in this country OF the
preventive police system of England, says rs fol-
lows; -~ @7t
The truth is We have, in this country, great
deal too much tenderness for persons who have
forfeited all claim to consideration. VagaboEds
without visible honest means Of support, are by
that very circumstance justly liable to suspicion,
and the public is entitled to the benefit OF the
doubt When man is arraisned before a
judge and jury, it is time enough to bring in the
merciful plea that all doubts belong to the priso-
ner Rogues thus oftentimcs escape by the be-
nevoent construction of the law, while to the
minds Of all who hear the circumstances, their
guilt is evident. An honest man courts inves-
tigation, and detective and preventive measures
will not at all irritate his self.love. He is
not insuted by proceedings or regulations
which offend rogues only. The London pick
pockets are represented in Punch as highly dis
approving the submarine telegraph. When fin
ished it will defeat their operations, already
much interfered with by steam communications.
Rather, we might say, it would defeat them were
it not for our national squamishness. The tele-
graphic arrangements through the United States
have not been SO fully useful as they might
have been. Burglars, and thieves, and coun-
terfeters are sometimes arrested through It's
agency, after the act; but preventive measures
are not, to any great extent, perfected.

HAwK-EYE AND TELEGRAPH.


GaasbIeSs ana City Authorities.
We would recommend to our City Aathori.
ties the following from the Chicago Democrat.
Let equally aringent laws be passed and en-
forced in Buriington-for in proportion to the
number Of inhabitants, We, as city, are fast
coming up to, If not now equal, to Chicago in
the number OF low doggeries and gambling
houses:
Il is the design of the present city authorities
TO break up all the gambling houses 10 this city
and TO severely punish all those who frequent
them.
The ordinance against keepers of houses has
always been stringent enough; but there Las
not been sufficient authority TO punish those
who patronize them.
The last Council passed stringent ordinance
upon this subject, sad it will be rigidly en-
forced.
We copy the following two sections in order
that those who indulge in the vice of gambling
may know what TO expect.
Many young men tell their parents and their
guardians that they are out at meetings of their
clubs, when they are attending gambling par
ties. Indeed, nineteen out OF twenty Of the
clubs tha: meet in the evening in this city are
but nurseries for gambling.
Sec. IL. The mayor or any aldermen, the city
marshal or any policeman OF this city may seize
or direct to be seized any instrument. device or
thing used for the purpose of gaming, or by, on,
or with which money or other articles Of value
may be lost or won, and all such instruments,
devices or things may be demolished or de-
stroyed under the direction Of the mayor. Any
person obstructing or resisting the mayor,
aldermen, city marshal OF anytpoliceman in the
performance Of any act authorized by this or
the following section, shall be fined in a sum not
exceeding one hundred dollars.
Sec. l3. If the owner or keeper Of, or any
person within any gambling house or room, any
disorderly house or house Of ill-fame within
this city, shall refuse to permit the mayor, and
alderman, the city marshal or any city constable
to enter the same, it shall be lawful for the
mayor or any alderman to enter or cause the
same to be entered by force, by breaking the
doors, or otherwise, and to arrest, with or with
out warrants. all suspicious persons found
therein.

The Way they take Care Of thcPeor In
Chicago, Sometimes.
We cut the following from the Chicago Joer-


Oatraoeoas Cead.es-O -Osic;ais Selling The
Dead The Supervisors now in session have
been put in possession OF the facts, showing that
several officers of the Poor House have been en-.
gagged in trafficking in the dead bodies OF pau
pers, siisposing of them to different colleges for
dissection.
A committee was at once appointed to inSes'
tigate the matter, consisting OF Supervisors
Bross, Sheru,an, Niche, futile and Speer, VINO
reported the matter this morning to the board.
The report sets forth that the committee are
satisfied, from the statement Of the arden,
that the sale of bodies has been carried on hy
persons connected with the Poor House, 10 the
Chicago Medical College and the Medical Col
lege of Michigan: that the County fhNsielan'
DR.. Peek, Mr. Fay, and a laborer named Van 81
zen, were engaged in the rnatteri tnat the! re-
ceived $50 for each body delivered at the depot
in this city, which we're packed in barrels ana
labelled beef or pork.
The Warden testified that he had cautioned
the parties frequently that no had found collins
empty, and in two instances had found brick put
in the place of the bodies. .-..a.. ....
Jacob Fieldmen testified that he had drawn
barrels from the Poor House. His suspicious
we're excited and on one occasion he opened a
barrel and found in it dead body-that van
Sizer then drove the team to the North Side.
He had, at different times. found three cottins
empty. --.. .-.. ....
Or. Peek and Van Sizer refused to appear be
fore the Committee.
The committee state that Mr. Foot, County
Superintendent, is entirely exonerated, he haT-
ing no knowledge of the transaction, and rec.
commended the immediate discharge OF Peek and
Fay, and that the whole matter be referred to
the Distric, Attorney, which Report was unani-
mousy adopted. ...... ..,

i Mr. EDITOR Herewith enclose to you the proceedings of the members of the bar of Ash ley circuit court, upon hearing of the death of their highly esteemed and much lamented bro thcr EBENEzER CUMMINs.
 l On the 18th they were presented to the court by S. F. ARNET, esq., prosecuting attorney. af ter which Gen. JAMES YELL arose and address ed the court for about half an hour in a man. ner equally credtable to his head and heart. which was briefly and appropriately responded to by his honor JUDGE SoRRELs. The pro- ceedings were ordered to be spread upon the records Of the court, and through respect to the memory of the deceased the court adjourned.
 J. w. McCONAUGHEY. At meeting of the members of the bar. in attendance upon the circuit court of Ashley county, held at the court room, March the 17th, to express their regret at the death of their de. ceased brother, Ebenezer Cummns, the follow Ing proceedings were had, to wit:
 On motion, the honorable Theodoric F. Sor- rels was called to the chair, and Robert F. Holmes was appointed secretary. On motion, the char thereupon appointed John c. Wad- dell, Herman Carlton and James Yell, com mlttee to draft resolutions, to express the sense of the meeting. = The committee retired, and in short time presented to the meeting the following resolu- tlons:
 Reso1ued, That the members of the bar of the Ashley circuit court, have heard, with the deepest regret of the death of their brother, Ebenezer Cummins, an honored and honorable member of the bar of this court: That we sin cerely regret his loss, and the severance of those ties of friendship, and pleasant inter- course, we have so much enjoyed with him, whose unexpected death we now deplore
 Resolcei That in the death of our esteemed brother, the members of the bar have peculiar and unusual cause to regret their loss; for in his profound knowledge of the law-his hab- It's of study and industry, and in his high and lofty appreciation of his profession, we held have felt the benefits of his good example
 Resolvea, That in the death of our brother, not only the members of the bar but the State at large, and all who know him, have sustain ed heavy loss.
 ResotUeCt, That we tender to the bereaved relatives and family of our deceased brother, our sincere condolence and heart felt sym mpathy, for their great loss, which in another sense, we feel to be our own.
 Resolued, That in testimony of our high ap- precaton of our deceased brother, the mem- bers of the bar of this court will wear crape upon the left arm for thirty days, and that Sa- muel Arnett be requested to present these re- solutions to the Hon. Judge of this circuit, and ask that the same be spread upon the records of the court.
 Resolved, That the secretary be required to forward the proceedings of this meeting to the Little Rock True Democrat and the Gazette and Democrat for publication. On motion, the above resolutions were una nimonsly adopted; and the meeting on motion, was then adjourned.
