there were only 66; in 1862 there were
only, 20; in 1868, the year of the riots,
the number of which the coroners got
cognisance, though a very large number
of deaths were no doubt kept secret, was
81 but in 1864 We have had 100 deaths
by violence and it is a terrible commen-
tary on the way in which justice is adj
ministcred among US, that in 1868 there
was not a single conviction for murder,
and only four for manslaughter. In fact,
human life seems to be every day held in
less and less respect by our dangerous
classes. That this is greatly due TO the
war, we think there can be little question.
An increased readiness to shed blood,
among the ignorant and vicious, is always
one of the SeqUeIP, or c%oncomitanls, OF
prolonged hostilities. What with daily
familiarity with reports of slaughter, and
the return to their old hauntS of large
numbers of the r%uftians who were tempt
ed into joining the army at the outset,
but, with the usual aversion of this class
to real risks, have managed to survive the
bIoodlest trays, there is apparent among
the roWdles an increasing disposition TO
use deadly weapons, either IN deciding
their quarrcls, or in aiding their robberits,
or merely in gratifying their destructive

CRIME in NEW YORK.

The number of homicides committed
in New York during the past year is 9th
ciaIIy reported as one hundred. The
number of unsuccessful attempts TO Kill
we have not ascertained, but we are salts
fed that if we set them down at four
hundred, we shall be under the mark.
SO that it may be safely said that, since
the lst of January, 1864, five hundred
attempts to kill, successful or unsuccessful,
have been made. Daring the last week,
fye men were MORALLY woundcd-three
in drinking saloons, and one while stand
ing at his own door, by a shot from the
window Of a house on the opposite side
of the street and within the same period
there were nine attempts to kill. In
fact, it may be alleged with safety that
there are but few parts of the civilized
world in which crime runs less risk OF
speedy punishment, or innocence more
risk of prolonged yexation and anxiety,
than in New York at the present moment.
The state of our criminal code and OF lis
administration is such, that not only arc
the most serious crimes against the per-
son but rarely punished, but when a con-
viction is obtained, it comes so long after
the offence, that its moral effect, either
Oh the culprit or the public, is completely
lost. In the MathewS's murder case it
did not come fer, we believe, three years
after the commission of the crime. In the
meantime crimes against the person, in
New York at least, are greatly on the
increase. In 1860 there were SO homl-
cIdes: in 1861. the first year of the war,

BRAZIL AND PARAGUAY.
The Paraguay correspondent of the
Brazil and Rirer Plate Mail says that the
American representative in Paraguay,
Mr.. Washbourne, has communicated to
the President a dispatch from Mr.. Sc
ward, "praising the attitude Of Paraguay
and condemning the ambitious conduct
of Brazil, which is likely to kindle a war
through all these countries, and is amenace
to the Branda Oriental and Paraguay
The Monte Video correspondent Of the
same paper writes, Dec. 14:-"To-mor-
row a grand AUTO ia JG is announced to
take place in the Great Square of Monte
Video, and the loyal adherents of this
Government are eXhorted to be present
at the burning of the Five Treaties with
Brazil. The treaty of 1851 provided
amongst other things, for commercial
immunities and the eXtradition of slaves.
That of 1852 decided the long-agitated
question of frontier boundaries. These
at one fell swoop are now swept from the
public archives, and tomorrow at md
day will see them delivered over to the
tender mercies of the public executioner."
The BuenoS AyreS Standard, al En-
glish newspaper, gives the following ac-
count of the proceedings of Brazil and
her rebel ally, Flores, 'lor the benefit of
its foreign readers"
'In April, 1868, Vcnancio Flores, who
is the sole, absolute cause Of all the dam
gers which now surround us, commenced
his revolution, or rather invasion, of the
Banda Oriental, which has since con-
tinued harassing and destroying that once
beautiful country. The Government
which he sought TO upturn was the best
the country ever had, but weak, and ut

~niicant a force. Owing to the duration
of this rebellion and the crossing of
troops from place 10 place, many OF the

passed between the two Governments !;
Brazil was meanwhile increasing her
squadron in the River Plate; an ultima
tum was at last sent to the Oriental Co.
vernment, and invasion by Brazilian
troops threatened. Meanwhile Paraguay,
perceiving the disastrous effects which
the Flores revolution was causing, and
the inevitable consequences it must lead
to, so far back as last February began pre-
pairing for war. President Lopez, believ-
ing that the demands of Brazil on the pre-
sent occasion were only put forward as {
pretext to NEEDLE in the Oriental matter,
and possibly ultimately annex the Repub-
lie of the Uruguay, at once made a formal
protest, notifying the Brazilian Govern
ment that the invasion of the Banda ORR
entail by Brazilian troops would be re-
garded as a casuS JeHi. No answer what
