The MURDER CAI.ESDAR.-Within the past few
days we have been compelled to record the
particulars of three atrocious crimes against hu-
man liie' In the Walton case, which is still
wrapped In unaccountable mystery We have
another OF those extraordinary tragedies which
have so frequently shocked the public sense
during the last few years. And yet the detective
police, as ever before, have so far failed to find
any evidence against the suspected party. and
ii is quite probable that the author or authors
of the crime will 60 unpublished. The very su-
dacity with which the crime was committed
may prove the best possible shield for the MUIR
derer. Lying in wait for his victim, he shot
him as coolly as he would dog, and then fed
under cover of the night. Pursued by several
citizens, the assassin shot the man nearest to
him, and he died almost Immediately; thus
Identification is a matter Of impossibility. The
fact is also, that the detective police here,
bad as it is, lose great deal of valuable time
in waiting for the offer of a reward, and give
the opportunity for the criminal to cover up his
tracks
The only hope that we can see now for the
detection of the murderer, is in the possible
identification of the weapon with which the
murder was committed. 1t was a pistol said
to have been made by the Massachusetts, Arms
Company, and as there are comparatively few
of that companys weapons in the market, it
may be identified by the number. 1t should be-
made incumbent upon vendors of deadly
weapons to keep an exact record of the names
of their customers.
Descending in the social scale, we have the
case of Hoffman, who encompassed the lives of
a woman and her infant for a matter of two
hundred dollars The hand of Justice was
swift to seize this offender, who cow lies in the
Tombs awaiting trial, which, beyond peradven-
ture, will result in conviction.
Under the new law, which provides that per-
sons convicted of capital punishment shalt be
confined in the State prison during a year after
sentence, and then hanged or imprisoned for life,
at the discretion of the Executive, We expect
to hear of considerable augmentation in the
number of MURDERS Compared to the gall
lows, the prison has few terrors to the criminal,
of whatever grade he may be. If rich,
he trusts to the laws delay. If poor,
he has the hope of Executive Gle
mency, which may be stimulated by
political influence, more or less of which
all the scamps in the community can COM
mand In a humanitarian point Of view,
the anti capital punishment people may be
right, but we must be practical with our rogues
who daily receive recruits from the sluices of
every city in Europe. New York, more than
any other city in the world, demands an active,
energetic police, and the most thorough admin
istration Of criminal justice.

A gentleman who listened to MIR.

night, iaiOrmed Us that he declared
that IAe'lrrepressible conflict" is upon
us-that The Republican party Is a
Sectional. party-that the repeal of
the Missouri Compromise, necessita-
ted thu FORMATION of the Republican
party, ana as the Republican party is
a Sectional party devoted exclusively
to Northern interests, the inevitable
result was the creation Of Sectional
party, in the South, devoted specially
to Southern interests, and that ~
Breckenridge party. HeM
consider the Douglas and =
as insignificant when compared W.th
the Northern and Southern Sectional
parties. We thank Mr.. Stanton for
being sufficiently candid to state that
the Republican party is Sectional
party. The Republican leaders down
this way have been endeavoring to
delude voters into their support upon
the pretence that the Republican party
is a National party. He is one Of the
Republican members of Congress who
endorsed tie atrocious Helper publ

Dear Ph@air How many of the good peo-

as they pass by that brazen statue of the la

which used to be givc us so literally by "Poor
RichardP"
When was boy and thank Heaven, l am
not quite an old man yet, somebody, now dead,
made me present of, "Poor Richards Alma
nac"-Firmly fixed in ny mind is the fact that
"a pin dag is a grod gears" but alas as 1
have never saved the pin day, have conse-
quently never accumulated the fortune of a

am led to these remarks by thought which
always comes over me when | look upon that
image; and | sincerely think that said image is
worth to Mr.. Parker's atng house and fixings,
if not to me, at least FIVE thousand per annum.
The people of this age are not to be told what
they shall eat and wha they shall drink, and
whcrewithall they shall be clothed and as they
pass by the statue of"Poof Richard" they, with
an involuntary obstinay, peculiar to Americans

head of our liberties has thus been tainted by
the slavc-policy, and threatens to become as
corrupt and unfit for liberty as Louisiana or
Texas. Nothing but a change in our ruling
national policy will prevent it.
We all know what the population of Louis
lana was when it was annexed to the United
States. 1t was made up of Spaniards and
Frenchmen peoples of the Latin race and of
Latin ideas, whose very education alone untitled
them for free government The whole Latin
race are taught implicit, unquestioning submits
sion to authority; they are prohibited from enter
tanning individual opinions on matters of State
and religion, and hence they know nothing prac-
cticaly of free institutions; for thescnstitutions
are based entirely on free, individual opinions.
And the uniitncss of the Louisiana people for
the republican form of government, has affected
that whole region of country more than it has
been affected by the people of the North who
have settled there. The New Orleans man
seems to think that it is very cunning and witty
to get up Plaquemine affair." or bride voters,
or circumvcnt the laws by secret collisions, or
do something else equally destructive of repub-
lican principles and such cunning commends
itself to the people of that quarter much more
forciby than does the SOBER considcratc action
which is necessary to seli-govcrnment.
In the annexation of Louisiana and Texas
we have not aggregated to ourselves unqualified
advantages alone; but we have incurred many
dangerous evils, which threaten the stability of
the Union and the existence Of free government
on this continent 1t is not open threats of dis
solution that we have to fear so much as it is
those lurking seeds of dissolution which have
been brought into our system by the annexation
of incongruous elements, and which neither we
nor they themselves may be able to countcract.
The slave-democracy eXtoll the annexation of
Louisiana and Texas as an admirable won
derful measure; but what advantage will their
annexation have been to us if in the course of
another half century we should have to dis-an-
mex them? We may have either to do this or
change the form of our government These
states themselves are not only clamoring for
Instrumentation, but they are pursuing the right
course to effect it. No foreign nation would
submit single day to the barbarous i'll treat
ment that is practiced almost daily against
Northern men by these, our brethren of the
South.
