The Dog Crnsnde in New York.

Dog killing is as scientifically conducted in
New York as man killing in Italy. The May
or's eJict authorizes The destruction of all dogs
found at large unmuzzled, unless redeemed from
death by their owners The CANNES are not
shot down about the streets, but are imponndcd
in an old vessel hulk, the person taking them
being entitled to a reward of fifty cents for a
full grown dog, and twenty five cents for
sma sized dog, or pup The dog can be re-
deemed the day he is captured by paying $500
A sh ID has been erected on the hulk, and in
this the dogs are tied up with ropes, the count
being kept by clerk. At the further end of
the deck is large cistern in which the dogs are
drowned, covered bs grating. Half past five
ia the afternoon is the hour of execution A
trap door in the grating is opened, aud the dogs
piled in upon each other some days as high as
two hundred in number The yelling aud yelp
ing do not melt the dog killers, who cruelty
close the door, Water is then let into the cistern,
tue yelps grow fainter and fainter, until dog-life
is drowned out. Carts convey the dead bodies

RRPUBLIoAN sTArE TIoKET.



In their esgerness to bolster up the new Dem
ocrstic position Of Congressional Slave Codc,
some Of the organs Of the party are claiming
that Judge Mclean holds with Chief Justice
Taney that the only power Congress has over
Slavery in the Territories is "the right coupled
with the duty Of guarding and protecting" that
institution. To prove the falsity of this prop,
it is only necessary to refer to the fact that
Judge Mclean in the Dred Scott decision dis
scented ia toto from the opinion of Justice Taney
10 relation to Slavery in the Territories lie
recognized no part of the so called Dred Scott
decision as of any authority whatever, except
that which has direct bearing ON the single
question of jurisdiction. Here is HE exact Ian
guage
Judge Mclean said-Q9 Howard 549) "Tn
this case, majority of the Court have said
that slave may be taken by his master into a
Territory Of the United States, the same as a
horse or any other kind Of property. 1t is
true this was said by the Court, as also many
other things, which are Of no authority Moth
ing that has been said Ivy them which has not
a direct bearing on the jurisdiction of the
Court against which they decided can be con.
sidered as authority. l shall certainly not re.
gard it as such"

Post remarks
There is something impressivey sublime in
these quiet vet potent influences of nature thus
working in the stiffness of night and in a few
hours noiselessy unduing the long aud busy
labor of the tillers Of the soil Like the angel
that DESTROYED the first-born Of all the houses of
Egypt, an ieY presence passes over the fields all
bursting with the treasures of growing vegcta
tion, and the first born of the earth the bud
ding grain, the ripcning fruit of spring time
shrives away and dies. M human power can
oppose the progress Of the destroying angel, nor
is there any bloody sign upon the door post
that foretels his coming And yet the fearful
vistant is sometimes foiled by agencies that
man would never think uf In some places
wind sweeps over the fields and the frost dares
not come within the power of its breath In
another place we hear of dense fog rising from
river, and spreading inland for miles, covering
the precious grain with a tent of cloud, and
shel'ering it from the hitting cold

matter in charge, that the long continued sction
OF fire on the ori6ceS Of the gas burners caused

natural that there should be an abrasion under
the circumstances and gas consumers may find
il good economy TO throw their old burners

There is another principle of human nature
that also operates in this matter We become

turn on from year to year fuller supply. 1t
is the old and wellknown law of habit, but its
results are seen in swollen gas bills, and then
