point of actual Importance in the sight
of GoD, or in the scale of humanity, where
is the difference? Is not homicide the
same thing, by whomsoever it may be
committed2 Neither of these men were
particularly estifnahle What becomes of
the defendant is not matter of much
importance to any body but HIMSELF then
why all this extra parade, ceremony, pre-
tense Of deliberation and display of the
amenities Of judicial proceeding? The
answer is in one word--sNoBBERY Cod
fishdom claims the event as its own. The
parties were by birth and position the pos
SCISSORS of its franchises it has taken
them under its especial care, and luxu-
rates in the newspaper Immortality which
will inure to it through the exhibition of
the common pruriency.
The criminal jurisprudence ofthe United
States everywhere needs radical reform.
Now the first qualification Of juror is
that he should be an idiot-a thing with
out intelligence and without curiosity
one who knows nothing that transpires
outside his own shop, house, or planta-
ton. Juries are impanneled as if it was
the intention of the Judge to exclude
every particle of common sense from the
array. Trials are conducted as if His
Honor and the counsel upon both sides
had corps of telegraph and newspaper
reporters at their elbows, and as if the
first duty of each was to shine as much,
and keep himself before the eyes of the
public as long as possible
The thing to be done, is to acquit the
defendant in the face of the law and the
evidence The questions whether he was
justifablo in a moral point of view for
what he did, and whether he is guilty Of
crime defined by the law, are two diff
ferent things If men who kill the lovers
of their wives are not deserving of pun
ishment, let the Legislature say SO, and
uries find their verdicts accordingly.
Now, in all probability, the jury in this
case will say mot guilty and yet there
will be proved against the defendant all
the circumstances necessary, in the eye
of the law, to constitute the ofense for
the commission of which he stands in
dicted Therefore the verdict of not
guilty will be reached by the way of that
which looks too much like perjury to be
attractive. This, for the sake of public
morality and the respect due to the obi,
CATION of an oath, should not be.

The Police law.

Police matters do not seem to go along
with quite as much smoothness under the
new law as was anticipated by its origin
ators. One set of Police Commissioners,
after having their pedigrees all neatly
written out in the Enquirer, actually lost
heart, turned tail upon their new honors,
and ingloriously Aed or, to use mer-
camille phrase, went to protest, to the
dishonor Of their indorser, the newspaper
prodigy aforesaid. Attempting to inaugu-
rate new Board, the Mayor-an essential
element in the appointing power-sud-
denly finds a faintness coming over him
his knees give way, and his feelings refuse
to permit him to 60 any farther The
Police Judge, also-although he consents
to act with the Auditor and make the
new appointments-betrays signs of
thaw, and talks about acting only for the
purpose Of preparing the way for fair
trial of the constitutionality of the OBJ
noxious provisions. The particular frame
of mind in which the Auditor found him
self, in the emergency, has not, so far as
we know, transpired.
Until time has been allowed for the
new appointees to consider upon it, and
determine whether or not they will serve
the public in the prescribed capacity, it
would, perhaps, be premature to announce
that the millennium has arrived The
world has been several times, little too
fast upon that point, and it would he iniu-
dicious to lay the foundation of serious
Inconvenience in case the signs of the
times are not followed by the desired
fruition. But really things do look like
it and so far as paying honest debts, do
ing general justice, and attending to the
demands of charity are concerned, it
would not be uniting for such of our
fellow-citizens as love to be on the safe
side, to set their houses in order
AS under the provisions of section
seven of the bill, the present Police sys-
tenn continues in existence until the new
one is organized by the Commissioners
all that is required to make the law .
dead letter is to let it alone, and 60 on il
the old way. The law of 1852, and it
amendments, are superseded, notrepealed
and in whatever mode the new law goes
Out-whether by non-user, or by being
declared nconstitutional-the effect il
substantially the same. There is no lapse Of
city government consequent upon any
style of disposition that may be selected
and, Commissioners or no Commissioners
Charley will still perambulate, beating
his nightly tattoo upon curb-stones and
lamp-posts, and rectifying his usual al
lowance Of lager and other mild anG
refreshing beverages.

A CoLoRED Mrs. HAYEs.-A colored woman,
of Lexington, KY, claims, like Mrs. Hayes,
whose humbugging was SO recently exposed, to
live without eating. She is a slave, belonging
to dry goods merchant by the name of john
son, of Lexington. She says that she has not
eaten any food for the past eight years. She
has been in Mr. Johnson's family near three
years; nor he nor any of his family have ever
yet detected her in taking any food whatever,
though they have watched her at all times, and
in every way they could think of. The man OF
whom Mr.. johnson bought her, declared that
he sincerely believed that she did not eat any
food, and said that he had once confined her
for some weeks to ascertain whether she did OF
did not really eat, and during that time he
could not detect her eating any thing what
ever. She says herself that she does not eat
She drinks water freely, but nothing else. She
is stout and in good health, never complains
of being sick, and, also, is a professed and
practical Christian.-LouisuiHe Courier.
The case reminds us of a remark one of the
ancients was in the habit of making when hi,
tippling son complained of want of appetite
"The child that sucks can't eat."l

The OPERA -NIGHT.--The world-renowned
night, and from the rehearsal last night, we
now say that no opera was ever put on the
stage with more extraordinary and extensive
preparations than will be the Roberto tonight
The cast is a powerful one, including Mile
Wihorst, Colson, Franc, Signors Brignoli,
Junca, etc. The following is given as the ar
gument of the work:
Duke Robert, by his many amoUs, had ac-
quired the soubriquet of "le diabte," and be-
ing banishcd by his subjects in Normandy,
he attends the tournament given by the Duke
of Messina, in Sicily During carouse with
some mobiles, n minstrel relates the story Of
Roberts supposed origin, and is only saved
from the anger Of the latter by the intervention
of his foster sister, Alice, who is also the be-
trothed of the minstrel, and who, entering al
the moment, is recognized by the Duke, who
thus receives dying message from his mother
in which he is warned of the spirit of evil which
| is struggling for supremacy over him. He
confdes to her his love for the Princess of Sicily
whose father he has made his enemy, and hi,
being saved from death by his friend Bertram
who is throughout his evil genius, and who
tempts him, when not under the influence o
Alice, step by step, to his eternal ruin, until thu
| last, when Bertram reveals to him the secre
of his birth, and proclaims himself his Fien(
Father. He is about to sign an eternal com
pact, as Alice enters, and saves him from per
dition, and the piece ends with his marriag,
with the Princess Of Sicily.
On Monday night the benefit of Mr.. Maurice
strakosch will take place, the same having
been rendered him by Mr.. Pike. An immens
attraction for the evenings entertainment will
be presented.

Doolitle vs.. Steele and same Stoddard. II being
intimated to the Court that there seemed to be some
misunderstanding in relation to the extent OF its
ruling in dispOsing of the demnrrers in these cases.
Judge Storer said that none the questions had been
decided in the case beyond holding that the decara
tions were sufficient TO put the parties TO their an
swers. An order was then made to amend the entry
to the effect that the questions raised on demurrer
should be made by defendants, and are not
such as were properly raised in the demurrers which
were accordingly overrued, and leave was given to
defendants to file their by the 2Oth day of this
