OuR MUNICIPAL CoURr-CRNR.-The nb-
scnoc Of the usual array Of offenders before this
Court for the past few days. cannot be attributed
TO the diminuton Of crime in the city, but to the
failure Of the apprehension Of offenders. Would
that this limited attendance did but signify an
expression Of reform. However. as we remarked
in n former article, the lenient manner in which
our municipal and State laws have been eKecu-
ted because Of the presence Of military law which
was supreme. the penalties inflicted, rather gave
encouragement TO crime than to its suppression
And since this censorship has been somewhat re-
moved, and society thrown back TO It's origi-
nal status, in the administration Of law. great
effort should be made 20 rs1lore the original re-
Spoct for the municipal regulations Of our city.
But laws that commanded respect before the re-
voluuon fail 70 produce the like effect now.
Hence the necessity Of reform, as it involves the
future moral character Of the city. A moral re-
formation is requisite now. 10 some extent. TO the
proper appreciation Of civil law. ahd if such an
impression could be produced on the public mind
seconded by rigid and judicious legislation. We
nood have fear as to the restoration in question
To check crime. offenders must be made to feel
two things First. the Nervousness Of crime in the
estimation Of sooiety; second. the consequent re-
suits Of the violation Of the laws governing socic
~. These arc important points in the execution
Of the law, which the great moral deprRyity. en-
gendcrcd by the late war. renders almost imprac-
tcahlc. Such a course. in the absence Of Effective
law. would tend in great degree 10 diminish the
growth Of crime in our city.
We have been forcibly impressed with an ocea-
sional remark, by way Of advice. made by Judge
Wilkinson, TO those who were before him for
crime. Tho influence was magical and illustrated
the principle that conviction Of the depravity
of crime is the great basis OF reform"
Wearo gratiGcd that our city authorities aside
from the execution Of the law to its fullest extent
do everything in their power that will contribute
10 tho convincing Of offenders Of The seriousness
and gravity Of their crimes, and the necessity Of
reform in tho future
They seem to have proper appreciation Of
their responsibilities; and with legislation OF a
character such 10 attach terror TO the violation
Of the law. and a rigid hdherance TO the same. We
shall have no fears 10 the carly realization Of
the desired reformation.
