\ BIG BrLL.-The sooner convicted
murderers are hung the better for the
taxpayers. 1t costs money to keep
them and to fatten them. At the meet
ing of the Board Of County Commission
ers, last Saturday, a DILL of $3.50 was
presented for boarding Millien, the
French stranger, who killed julie Bu-
lette last January, and who was SEN
fenced to be hung-but who, by some
hoeus poeus of the law, has been respited.
Five dollars a day for boarding q felon-
ious s%coundrel is beyond all reasonable
charge. We doubt not, but Mr.. Moch,
OF the hotel where the board is furnished,
earns his money-three dollars a day for
the Z" grub" and two dollars q day for
IA bottle of wine. But is it right, is il
just, that this prisoner should be treated
better than other prisoners in the Jail,
whose board we believe costs ony 81 so
per day? We hope the jsilor will change
his tactics on this Freuchman-it is too
- Frenchy for a depleted County trea-
sury. We have heard II intimated that
it is doubtful whether the County Com
m~issiouers will allow the bill, unless
compelled by lawn which case, the
question would arise, is = cold-blooded
murderer entitled to better treatment,
and to more sympathy, than n prisoner
who is not a murderer?

ia the afternoon; NJ least so Schimmer-

doub, be II large audience to enjoy the
