CRnE.-Crime is fast becoming systematized in
our country. Exports from the old world are
grogating in all our larger cities, and under their
able management American ruffianism is assuming
the most gigantic proportions, and even challeng-
ing the civil authorities TO trial Of strength The
principle of combination renders depredators on
life and property more audacious. and crime be-
comes in a manner profitable An experienced
member of the Prison Association Of Rochester,
New York. speaking upon this subject, says:
Those who commit crime nowadays are in the
habit of clubbing. What Is meant by the term II,
that n number Of persons join or form a society for
the purpose of committing crime. They commit

the club can obtain the kind Of evidence TO clear

the matter 10 the authorities pays small amount,
and is released from further obligations. In this
way many persons become standing bail for crimi
nails, and not a few make il a profitable business.
1t is further stated that bail bonds are seldom
prosecuted.
The resources which combination affords 20 rob

The Dying NEGRoEs-AwFuL MORTALITY IN
GEoRGIA.-The population of this city, all told, is
about 5000 souls-one-half white and the same
number black. The monthly average of the NOR
taity in the city before and during the war. when
the negroes were taken care Of, was about forty,
proportional according te population. The NOR
tally among the negroes in this city during the
past month was. as near can be ascegtained
about five hundred. while the number Of deaths
among the white population remained substan-
tally the same rs before the war.
The cause Of this difference in the morteity of
the blacks needs explanation. When the United
States forces took possession of Macon the negroes
were all declared free. Ii was in vain that il was
urged that neither would the state of the growing
crop justify the laborers in leaving the fields.

As house servants in the city, LEFT comfortable
homes seized with sudden passion for freedom,

stgated by an insane desire for city life and under
the apprehension that their freedom would not

Milwaukee is excited over a
gift concert swindle just exploded
in that city. 1t was the great
Northwestern Gift Concert, Lud-
!um, Hale & Co., proprietors. On
the day of drawing, it was discov-
cred that all the money of the con-
Germ received in payment for tick
cts, over $4,000 in all, had been
drawn out of bank, and that Aaron
Ludlum, senior partner, had disap-
peared. No gifts have been dis
tributed, and all ticket holders, who
are scattered throughout Wiscon-
sin Minnesota, and northern Him
OILS, find themselves sold. The
police are in pursuit of Ludlum,
and the rest of the firm are now
in custody.
Our readers are warned that ir-
responsible parties are circulating,
to an indefinite extent, through
the post-office, tempting invita-
tons to indulge in lottery invest
ments. AS all the money thus
permanently invested" will go
into the purses of those who delib-
erately intend to defraud all who
place confidence in their rosy
statements, let the public beware.

Very Nice Arrangement.

A friend suggests, In view Of
the frequent accidents upon rail
roads, that the President of each
company should be er-o6fciiO a cor
oner, the board Of directors en-
powered to act as jurymen, the
conductors surgeons, the engineers
undertakers, and brakemen grave
diggers. Such a cosy arrangement
would save great deal of time,
no doubt, and result in the end in
the administration of very much
the same amount of justice as the
public realize under existing cir
cumstances. Setting aside the
irony embodied in the suggestion,
it certainly does seem as if rail-
road companies manage these lit,
tie matters entirely their own way
in the event Of catastrophe. In
some few cases they are made to
pay, in damages, for their careless
ness or indifference; but where
one suffering family is repaid
for its injuries, ten go unrequited
for lack Of the necessary means
or courage to prosecute. We shall
never have safe travelling until
the owner of every species of con-
veyance is made fully responsible
for all such contingencies.

chase sufficient rolling stock, en-
CINE, &C., for construction trains.
The sale of the engine Belle
Kelso, for the sum of $4,000, was

tween this Board and some of the
officers of the Road,
and in order to prevent the recur-
renee of such hereafter
Resolved, That the salary of
the President of the Road shall be
81, 800 per year, which sum is in
tended to cover all fees, commits
sions, and expenses, and this sala-

present President reasonable COM
pensation for his services, and re-
fund to him such amount for actu-
al expenditures as he may have

that France has demanded the ex-
