JUvENuS CRIME IN New YoRK.-The recent
case Of Rodgers the murderer Of SWANSON, and
the pending case Of O'Connell, for rape upon
and the murder Of Teresa Spitzlen, are q sad
illustration Of the tendency of our Metropolitan
morals In both these cases the culprits are
boys, we believe, under twenty, with boards yet
ungrown. They are not isolated instances of
premature depravity. On the contrary II may
be said broadly that nearly all our crime is the
work Of youths. The rioting, the assaults, the
murders, the robberies, the cases of arson, the
attacks upon females, which give employment
to so many judges, jailors, lawyers and police
men, are nearly all the work of boys under
twenty Two-thirds Of the houses that are burnt
down are set on fire by these precocious viz
lains. Every one who has had large expert
ence on jjures will agree that were il not for
persons under twenty and twenty-five, our crimi-
nal courts would have nothing to do.
In other countries youth is frivolous, reck-
less, impetuous, ardent, hot headed; in New
York, il seems to be brutal, cold bloodcd,
treacherous, savage, cowardly. Abroad, the
more hcinous crimes Of the calcndar-murders,
rapes, arson-are invariably the work of men
hardened in crime: here they arc the achive-
ments of youths who are just at the age when
the heart n believed TO be the most generous,
and the feelings kindliest. Our boys pass from
the schoolhouse to the Tombs.
The fact that this extraordinary phenomenon
Is confined, for the most part, to this city, and
that majority Of the young offenders seem TO
be not native born, justies the belief that this
is q sporadic accident, which may be checked at
once by vigorous application of the proper
remedies But here at the outset we are beset
by difficulties When these young ruHisns who
are the curse of the place are detected In the
vilest and most outrageous crimes, the defects
Of our criminal system and the shortcomings Of
the bar and many Of the Judges afford them
many loopholes FOR escape; aud if these are
safely avoided half the city Is ready to sign pc
titions for their pardon, which shortsightcd
weak Governors are only too ready to grant
IL never scms TO occur either TO the signcrs OK
these petitions or to the Governors who grant
their prayer that mercy to the youth who com
mits murder is most aggravated cruelty to Ia
associates. companions and the city youth
generally Il is his IMMUNITY which nurses
Them in crime. Were he punished as he should
ne they would aot sin. One or two executions
ROW would probably save a score Of murders
withi the next two years.

MAYOR TENsNS AND viz Responsive have
no doubt Of the good intentions of Mayor Tie

cretly opposed to his progressive moan the

MORE LOBBY DEyxLorEMSTs.-TheC hevalier
Smonton. who was expelled from the floor Of
the last Congress in consequence Of his lobby
operations tells q very curious story about the
same matter to the obscure journal in this city
for which he corresponds. He states that Mr..
Stone one of the witnesses examined before the
Congressional Investigating Committee in rela-
ton to the Ss7 900 bride, has testified that mem
Der Of the last Congress offered to obtain twenty
five votes in favor of the free wool tariff amend
ment If s25 900 were paid by the Middlesex COM
pany into the hands of certain branbr edi-
tor in New York Chcvalier Simonton evil
IDENTIFY alludes to Matteson, the member, and
Greeley the editor. 1t will be recolected that
the last named philosopher was the stool pigeon
or bank Of deposit or broker in the matter OF a
draft for one thousand dollars drawn on &c
count Of the Fort Dies Moines Improvement and
Navigation Company, handed by Stryker, the
agent of the company, to Greeley, carried by
him in his breeches pocket for some time, and
then paid over to Matteson.
If there is any truth in this statement We
hope that the whole matter will he ripped up
by the committee. Simonton in former times
used TO be very good at ripping up old brcechcs;
and II would be pity II he had left the bust
ness altogether.

smeoa their constitution a. they may choose,
Notwithstanding any prohibition in that instru-
ment for the right to alter and amend their
constitution Is a right Of sovereignty from
which they cannot be debarred.
AS for Judge Douglas, his OWL record kills
him. There never was clearer case Of politi-
cal suicide. His only hope is to make speedy
recantation, confess his error, and assist the
President in restoring harmony and allaying
sectional excitement. Judge Douglas is man
Of ability; but, like many other able politicians,
ambition and personal griefs have been his
stumbling blocks 1t is to be expected that the
opposition will fight hard to reject the co1sttu-
ton now presented 1t is with them question
of life or death-of political supremacy or po-
litical and personal defeat BY the close Of the
week We will perhaps be able to record the
result.

advocates of such a course find their authority?
Not In the constitution Of the United States;
and certainly not in the doctrine of popular
soyereignty-the great principle which it
IL asserted was endorsed in the Kan
sas-Nebraska act. As mere matter
Of expediepcy, to expedite the action Of
the people Of the Territory, an enabling act, =;
as il is termed, would have done no harm. But
in the absence Of any such actin the neglect
of Congress to pas IL, If IL were nccessary--thc
Legislature of the Territory had an undoubted
right to provide, as they did, for the election Of
a convention Of the people to frame constitu-
ton. That Convention, when organized, repre-
sented the sovereignty Of the people of Kansas,
and had right TO submit the result of their de-
alterations back TO their constituents fos rslfca-
ton, or not, az they might determine themselves
As for its organization outside Of the
Convention no question could be raised as
to the legality Of the election OF its mem
bers; that was question which the Convention
had alone the power to determine. Each house of
Congress is the judge of the qualification of its
own members. This il right guaranteed by the
constitution. If We are to take the constitution
as our guide, we must recognise this principle
wherever it can be presented If members of
the Convention were Illegally returned, il was
for the Convention 10 rcpudiatc them. Congress
cannot go behind the record without uslirping a
power in direct conflict with its own existence
and for that matter repugnaut 10 our political
existence as O nation.
As slave State, Kansas can never have a
practical being. II is the principle alone which
is contcndcd fOr--the absolute right Of the peo-
pie 10 make their own local regulations. The
fact that convention of the people framed .
constitution, and that that constitution, with
The official vote Of the people of Kansas at
tached, il now presented TO Congrc.s--end a
denial Of the right of Congress 70 go behind tbe
