Reform at the Hub of the Universe


From the newspaper reports it appears
that much of the time of the Police Court
| in the city of Boston is taken up IN the
trial of complaints made by the state
Constabulary" against persons who do
not seem to consider that to do business,
"other than works of necessity or mercy
on the Lords Day." is crime and an
abomination in thesight of the law which
prevaileth in that city 1t appears, from
the police reports, that it is one of the
duties of the State Constabulary to go
about on Sundays and eat oysters, smoke
cigars, or perchance indulge in the scandal
of dough nuts" for the purpose of max
ing a case against the sinful vcnders of
these commodities" Whether this Sabbath
detective business comes under the head
of "necessity'' or "mcrcy" does not ap-
pear. 1t must be one or the other. The
reports do not show that any of the
" State Constabulary" have been punished
for carrying on the spy-business on the
Lords Day The fact, however, was
clear, for Constable Holden testified that
= he purchased a cigar last Sabbath of de-
fendant, and the court, after making the
profound observation "that no one would
say that selling of cigars, on Sunday was
a work of necessity, proceeded to SEN
tenee the defendant to pay fine of ten
dollars. The point whether any one |
would say that the buying of cigars on
Sunday was work of necessity, does not |
appear to have been presented, and the /
court therefore was not called upon to
give its judicial opinion on that point.
In another case, Constable Mccarthy
who from his name we musl Judge must
be lineal descendant of Miles Standish, |
testified that 'he gets his meals at home,
but on last Sunday he called at defend
lnt's place and purchased steak J" he
llso saw several boys there eating oyster
tews," and moreover saw "his brother
constable, Holden, purchase some dough-
nuts and coffee" Now, to the mind of
he court, it was as plain as pike-staf, or
ny other stake, that the eating of steaks
nd oyster stews and doughnuts on the
4ords Day was not only not case Of
ecessity, but was dangerous transaction
D be allowed to go unpunished in the
lOral city of Boston; accordingly the
IAN who broiled the steak and stewed the
ysters and fried the doughnuts was SEN
snced to pay a fine of ten dollars, while
le constables, in whose stomachs the
eak and doughnuts were of course sane c
fled, were not hauled over the Goals by {

Tho Louisville Press thus sums up the
latest indications of the spirit in which
the Southern rebels now propose to man
age the loyal blacks of their respective
States:
81. A Louisiana paper announces that
two officers of the parish of TerrebOnne
have been arrested, indicted, and impris-
Oned by order of Judge Belden for erpress-
ing the opinion that negroes may have the
right to vote.
-. In the legislature of South Carolina
bills have been reported for the purpose of
empowering the State officers 10 seize all
fire arms found in tho possession of the
freedmen to prevent them from hereafter
becoming possessed of arms, and to
punish with severity any white persons
proposing to sell the same to them. Meas
ures are also proposed to shut up shops
kept by freedmen, and to prohibit any
white person employing a negro servant
without the written consent Of his or her
former master having first been obtained.
1t is reported that the bill in regard to
firearms has been passed; also the bill
preventing negroes from keeping shops
"3. The Vicksburg Herald thus speaks
us FieWs' II ANY Tdulcal WIS ever UNA
enough in his views to suppose the people
of Mississippi would endow negro schools,
for their ilk to teach the rising ebO-shin
hatred of his former MASTER but his best
friend, then such chaps had better take to
marching on with John Browns soul;
they will hardly reach the objects of their
desires short ofthe locality where John is
kicking and waiting. The State has not
opened schools for them, nor has she the
slightest idea of doing anything of the
kind"
~. AT the latest advices the Mississippi
legislature was stuck ON the question of
admitting negroes to give testimony in
courts.
"5. Governor Hahn, Just from Louisi-
ana, represents the reconstructed rebels
there as acting very badly. In one parish
they met in convention and re-establisbed
slavery formally by enactment and reso-
luton. Three negroes have been shot by
returned rebel soldiers within the last
| month at Alexandria.
&c. Last week one of the civil eourts
sentenced a negro to be whipped under the
old Virginia code. General Augur
promptly annulled the sentence"
1t is evident that the only means of
properly protecting the negroes of the
rebel States against abuse and injustice on
the part of the rebel caste, is to arm them

From the San FRANCISCO bulletin, OctoDe- l3.
One of the most astonishing effects of
the late earthquake is to be seen on the
front of the new bank and insurance
building lately erected on Montgomery
street, between California and Sacramento
streets. The gilt letters composing the
signs that Oyerspread the building have
been thrown into such confusion that it is
utterly impossible to tell what kind of
business is carried on there. 1t looks as
though half a dozen sets of the English
alphabet had been fred out of a mortar,
and stuck promiscuouslya all over the front
of the building. The passer-by can dis
tinguish, here and there, the words
Globe "and, "Liverpool,' "&'
London" "Fire," "4l2," Limited,
"San Francisco" GAIA" etc, but as for
deciphering any connection between the
words it is out of the question. No at
tempt has yet been made to replace the
letters in their proper position, and it is
said that the occupants of the building
have agreed to let them stand as they are,
and surmount the building with new
sign, labelled L" Curiosities of earthquakes"

ingtOn.
1t may not be known to all our soldiers
that the State of Ohio maintains an
Agency at the capital of the nation for
the purpose of lending assistance in the
settlement of claims for back pay, bounty.
etc. A great many discharged soldiers
and officers, whose accounts with the Gov
ernment were unadjusted at the time of
their muster-out of service, have found it
tedious and difficult process to secure ar
rearages due them, owing to the aecumu-
lation of that kind of business in the De
partments at Washington. Through the
means of the State Agency, the claims of
such persons are more speedily settled,
the officers of the Agency having facili-
ties for getting at the heart of the bust
ness not enjoyed by outsiders. No charge
IS made for such services. The State of
Ohio bears the expense, and the Agency
does not permit itself to be soiled with
either pay or presents. J. c. Wetmore,
Esq the State Agent in charge, adds to a
thorough knowledge of the intricate du-
ties of the position, an ability and prompt !
NESS and personal attention to the busi-
ness which render his services of inestima-
BILE value to Ohio soldiers. This Agency |
has done a good work SO far, and promises
to be indispensable for a long time to

comparatively free from temptations, vices and
those almost numberIess things that withdraw

the freer from city attractions, temptations and
inducements to squander Inoney the better for those
who are, perhaps for the first time, separated from
friends and home influences.
