ORDER REIGNS IN WARSAW.

When, in 1881, Nicholas Romanoff, his brother
Constantine, Diebitsch and other miscreants
at the head of q Russian army of 500, 900 men
entered Warsaw, once the Capital of wretchei
Poland. he sent the following pithy message tt
his Prime Minister in st Petersburg.
eve have couquered-order reigns in Warsasc.r
We had always thought that when the granite
hearted Nicholas-surrounded as he was by the
blazing and smoking ruins of Warsaw's palaces
and when the bravest of Poland's sons were either
in dungeons Or in their bloody ~graves-penned the
dispatch above quoted, he owed the power to dc
it with IMMUNITY, to the time and country in which
it was done, and that, as it was without a prece.
dent, go it would be without imitators. But alas
how great was our error.
In the city of New Orleans, one among the
greatest cities of the Republic of the West, an
oligarchy Of Tetrarchs rule, and under their fell
auspices murder is a thing of daily occurrence
nay, as will be seen by the following slip, it oc.
ours sometimes three times in one day; and moi
men alone, but even boys, are seen to imbrue
their hands in the blood of their fellow beings
with the delight of fends.
Here is the slip to which we allude:
CRIME IN New ORLEANs.-The New Orleans
Bulletin, of Saturday last introducesan article Oh

genee:

terday morning? Did they read over the con-
densed facts in relation to four murders and one
stabbing case there recorded? If they did, they
did not fail to observe that, in four of the bloody
deeds there recorded, the perpetrators were mere
boys, at some seventeen years old!
We take it from the columns of the Commercial
Bulletin, a journal published in New Orleans, and
we'll known as one of the organs of the Know
Nothing party. And yet, in the face of such heart
rending facts, men are found brazen enough to
sing the praise Of the sanguinary oligarchy, be-
meath whose sway murder runs rampant, alike in
the night when good men sleep, and in the light
of the MONDAY sun! And why is this? because
they are assured of impunity. Nay, there are
cases in which men, confined in the parish prison
on well-grounded charges Of murder, and who
company Of their j~ailors visiting cofee-houses and
drink together, in broad daylight. These are
some Of the beauties of the reign Of terror in New
Orleans, and the end is not yet. Now, by whom
is New Orleans governed? By Know Nothing Of
fcials alone.
The Mayor is a Know Nothing. The four Re-
corders are Know Nothings. The Sheriff is a
Know Nothing. The five Judges Of the District
Courts are Know Nothings. The District Attor-
ney is a Know Nothing. And the policemen
from the Chief down to the lowest private, all
are Know Nothings.
What wonder is it that murderers 60 unwhipt
of justice when they are members of that order
and their victims of the prescribed races who
were born in another land? What wonder is it
that murder is on the increase, when men who
have been repeatedly guilty of that crime are re-
warded and appointed to Office?
We, too, may well exclaim-"Order reigns in
