DIsoRDERIY LEGAL PROCEEDNGs.-A great
portion Of the time Of one of the Courts during
the trial of a most important murder case, has
tilation of singular story about the alleged
bribery of a witness. One of the lawyers en-
gagged says that material witness for the prose-
cutiOn went to him and offered to leave the
country for three thousand dollars; that he
the lawyer-thereupon entered into negotia-
tions with this corruptible witness, and allowed
him to believe that he might get the money;
that he then laid statements of the facts before
various eminent lawyers and judges, and was by
them advised to persevere in deceiving the
witness; that the whole matter has remained in
thiscondition-th witness expecting the money,
the lawyer retaining the secret-until the trial
came on, when the story was brought to light
with as great flourish of trumpets as new
piece at Stuart's, or a coup de theatre in Bourci-
cault's last drama.
The conclusion to which sensible people will
come on this statement Of facts, is that the affair
reflects very little credit on the lawyer concern
ed, and upon the counsel and judges whom he
consulted during the maturing of his plan.
This deception and betrayal Of rogues are
not, after all, the proper function of lawyer.
1t is the business of member of the bar, when
knave comes to him and offers to sell himself for
money, to open his door and turn him out Nor
would be gravely compromise his standing If,
on evidence of hesitation on the rogue's part,
he were to accelerate his exit by suitable mus.
cular appliances. But for the lawyer to enter
into unreserved communicati with the rogue,
and to dupe him for the purpose of betraying
him afterwards, is not the thing at all.
Nor is it the business Of judges to permit
such stories to be introduced by wholesale into
trials where they do not belong. Whatever
passed between Blankman and Lauth, the guilt
or innocence of Cancemi could not he affected
thereby; the question which the Court aud the
jury had to decide was simply whether Cancemi
killed Anderson; and the conversations be-
tween lawyer and rag picker, occurring
months afterwards. had no more to do with the
case than the conversations Of departed spirits
BY admitting such irrelevant matter into the
case, the attention of the jury is diverted from
the main question to side issues: and when they
ought to be founding judgment on a certain
number Of plain facts, they are in fact allow
ing Themselves to be influenced by others
which ought never to have been laid before
them.
This is one of the ways in which justice Is
sometimes defeated In New York.

THB LAST KANSAS OUrRAer.--Why don't the
anti slavery organs throw themselves into fits
Of indignation against the most recent Kansas
outrage' Jim Lane, an anti-slsvery partisan,
the other day coolly shot down and murdered
jenkins, another anti-slavery partisan, who
wanted to exercise the right Of taking drink
of water from disputed spring. Immediately
Jenkins friends fred on Lane and wounded
him, and he is also lying at the point of death.
As almost all the border rufHans have departed
from Kansas, The anti-slavery party must, IL
appears, murder each other 10 keep their hands
in. Why don't the anti-slavery organs make
fuss, collect subscriptions and form q fund to
aid them in this laudabe purposcs A short
time since we told the anti-slavery men that
they would confer great benefit on the world
by killing each other and IL seems that they
are now cordially acting upon our advice.

perry owners in the shape of overpaymeuts or
something else, which might have been pre-
vented had the usiners of the Comptroller 9
Office been conducted with any kind of order;
had not recklessness and imbeoility ruled su-
preme there. In the communications from the
Street Commissioner, submitted at the meeting
of the Board of Aldermen on Wednesday, q
fraud in regulating Fifty second street is report
ed, in which over thousand dollars have been
paid ~ the Comptroller to inspectors, for whose
services the ordinance did not provide, and
portion of this was actually paid several months
before the date of the contract for the work
which was to be inspected! In another case
that of regulating Forty sixth street-a contract
was made, but never signed by the Street Com
missioner; the work was done and the assess
ment confirmed by the Common Council only
few days ago but it turns out that Mr.. Flagg
paid the contractor for the work six months
ago! Every figure In this contract had been
erased and altered it was not legally signed;
the inspectors and surveyors had been paid for
work done under it three months before the con-
tract was dated This is the way the finances
of the city arc disposed of by the present incum-
bent of the Comptroller's Office; yet Mr.. Flagg
obstinately refuses to resign at the call of the
Common Council, and the wish of the people
but sticks on with the tenacity Of an old lobster
to the spoils of bis Office.
A motion should be made to have him re-
moved at once, if he does not resign, or we will
never have things straight in the Finance De-
paItment.

The SLAVE 0rIGARcHY-The anti-slavery
journals and orators are continually talking
about the terrible slave oligsrcby of the South,
and the prodigious power which they exercise
over the general government Who constitute
this slave oligarchys There are in the Southern
States about 100000 Shareholders and 100000
poor whites, who have no slaves. These poor
whites are generally led by the nose by set of
vulgar and vagabond politicians just in the
same way that the same class arc dupcd and
managed in the North. The people of the South
generally do not hold slaves and the actual slave
oligarchy are amongst the quictcst, most uuas
suming and most gentlemanly men In the Union
II is only the poor whites and the politicians Of
the South who make all this noise, and yet the
anti-slavery organs and politicians Of the North
have the impudence to lay II to The charge of
theslaveholders Thcrenevcr was greater hum
bug than this.
