Municipal Civil Nnthoriiies.

We remarked few days ago, upon the de-
fleets of the legal authority under which
our civil and municipal officers were
expected to act, in the resistance of violence
and the suppression of riots. In trial last
week, at New Albany, of man by the name
of Royse, who was sentenced to penitentiary
for life for killing Waterman Bolin. Judge
Brieknell laid down a law for the authority of
peace officer, in the following sentences. 1t
will be seen that the power of the officer is
very indefnit. and dependent upon circum-
stances-and that his pestifcation will de-
pend upon the proof he can make.
As between a private person and a peace
officer the law IL that If man be engaged in
any breach of the peace and watchman or
other peace officer lay hands on him to put
stop to it, that man must yield at once, ii he
reslstS, that officer may repel force by force,
and II the resistance be continued, the officer
may, necessary to overcome him proceed to
the last extremity, and in such u struggle the
officer be killed while acting within the linn
| itg of his authority, the plea of self defence
will not avail the wrong door.
So man who has a ball in his house 10
| which persons are admitted on conditions,
| may stand at the door, and if one undertakes
to go in without complying with the condi-
tions may put him out and may use as much
force rs is necessary for that purpose, and il
he be resisted and killed, the wrong doer will
not succeed on the plea of self defence, unless
he can show that the force used by the own
er of the house was outrageous or excessive
| or more than was properly necessary to keep
the wrong doer out, in which case the house
holder himself was become the wrong doer,
and the general principles OF self-deience
| would apply, and even q peace officer, by
gross and excessive force, unsuited to the oc-
casion, might, although endeavoring to
quell riot, do unnecessary cruelty, do be-
come himself wrong doer, against
whose violence defiance might lawfully be
made.
The last sentence lays it down very clear
ly as principle that if u civil officer uses any
more than is necessary to arrest actual vio-
lence, he may be resisted, and if killed, it il
homicide in self defence. A civil magis-
trate cannot use any force in anticipation t
prevent violence. lie must wait and resis
actual force by force. He can only resist al
overt act. a civil magistrate cannot antici
pate the intention of a mob and disperse then
by force, before they have committed breacl
of the peace-and then he can use fore,
against only the active ofenders;-he canno
under the present law-punish the inactv
participants who are giving silent san, tiol
of the act, by their presence. AS our law
: now are the civil magistrate is almost power
less and without legal support in opposing
| mob.

ACCOUNTING FOR HIGH PRIcEs.-The ex-
traordinary high prices of all kinds of agri-
cultural produce, is now and has been for
some years past a problem, which political
economists and statisticians have been to "a
great extent vainly attempting to solve. The
following we find in the New York Post, is a
specimen of these attempts:
Since the, year 1871, the price of bread
stuffs throug hout Europe. as we'll as America,
have had an upward tendency, and ofcourse
the prices of other necessaries of life have in
creased in proportion. In the German States
where the upward movement of grain has
enriched the agriculturalists, at the expense
OF other branches of Industry, political econ
mists at first ascribed the rise to poor har-
vesters; but as succeeding years brought
boUnteous crops. but no decrease in prices
this hypothesis was abandoned as erroneou,
The true reason of the high prices must bt
found in the fact that the amount of Lane
devoted TO the production of breadstuffS in
Germany is now much less than heretofore
In the PalatInate, in Baden, and Hesse
vast tracts of the best land, hitherto produc
ing immense crops ofcercals, are now plant
| ed with tobacco, which are even more profit
able than breadstuffs; the price of German
| tobacco has increased from twenty-five +
| thirty six and forty forms per hundre,
weight. and large quantities are exported b
France, Austria, England and to Northerl
| Germany.
la consequence of the high duty on Yves
India Sugar, beet sugar manufactures hav
sprung up in various parts of the country
and thousands of acres are now devoted I
the culture of the sugar beet. The leaves c
this plant are dried. mixed with the tobacc
leaves, and sent to England, where they ar
manufactured into the ''best mild-favore
cigars.n
Malt and hops are in great demand, OWN
to the increased consumption of beer; conse
quently more land is needed to produce thes
articles, which is consequently withdraw
from the production of Breadstuffs.
Thus it will be seen that the beer, sugs
and tobacco are in part responsible for II
high price Of provisions in Germany.
