AN EPIDEMIC OF CRIME.

We have stated frequently that the
amount and atrocity Of crime committed,
is greatest in the North. We discovered
this fact from Northern papers them
selves. In the South, the people, com
pared with those Of the other sections,
are quiet. We are fortified in our con
victions by that great journal, the New
York World The most ordinary reader
Of newspapers lately, it says, can per-
eeive that the epidemic of crime RACES
fearfully, not in the South, where most
of the outrages are political fctions,
but nearer bome-in the East, in the
North, and especially in the West. We
have been called upon lately to chronicle
several horrible cases Of cruelty towards
children in New England, where the
great moral ideas seem temporarily
overshadowed by a cloud of crime Rob
berries on the most gigantic scale are Of
almost everyday occurrence. Outrages
upon women, violent assaults, burglaries,
summary executions by Lynch law, and
murders are reported everywhere in
the Northern States The atrocity of the
rapidly succeeding instances is not 50
much a matter Of note as their frequency.
Every horror, almost before we get the
full details, is supplemented by some
thing still more shocking Il is lament
able, indeed, that the very frequency o.
these cases has made the public mint
callous 10 crime; and it is remarkable
too, that the great majority Of these
crimes Of late have not been committed
in the large cities, bat in quiet country
towns and in the rural districts. Some Of

"White people cannot raise cotton,
especially on alluvial land p Neverthe'
less, says the Baton Rouge Advocate, a
friend in this parish, not being able to
procure freedmen last spring, set to work
with his two boys and one white man,
and the result was crop of thirty bales
of cotton. We would like to know what
negro labor has done better. And we
know hundreds, il not thousands, Of
white men who have labored half their
lives in the swamps at farm or other
labor, and have only ceased because they
got too rich to work. SiclSly men, per-
haps, cannot, especially such as have
laziness in their bones. For the latter
class we would prescribe an impartial

Is due, no doubt. to the late war, which
has returned to private lifea restless pop
ulation, which, when not actively en-
ployed in something good, is sure to stray
into all manner Of excuses The war has
certainly schooled the American mind to
regard human life as something cheaper
than il was considered five years ago
But the almost general indifference now
to law and order, as well as to the con
sequences of acts Of lawlessness, is due
greatly to the example set in disregard
ing the fundamental law Of the land as
written in the Constitution in setting
at naught the decisions of the highest
court in the land, unless those decisions
chime with the edicts Of caucus and
in threats to depose the Chief Magistrate
in the country, unless he consents to be
the President OF a party. With such
examples before them, it is not unnatu-
raj that the people at large should feel
at liberty to break lesser laws, and 10
commit, by comparisons lesser crimes.
