Some few weeks SINCE the Turnvin Turner'S Society,"

were present. and their exercises lasted two days. During
their stay every German in the city had his house decorated
with evergreen emblems of atherand and notices. such
as % WELCOME TO THE DEFENDERS LIBERTY" Prior to
the time fixed for holding their convention a committee,
appointed from their organization here called upon their
countrymen in the city, and made arrangements with them
to board the several delegates during their stay free of
charge Many who, by of sickness in their families
and other causes able for their guests paid
their bills the hotels instead Thus their organization
saved expenditure of 3000 while their delegates
generally at home and their entertainers had
the pleasure of becoming acquainted with of their most
intelligent and patriotic countrymen, at very small outlay

THE INCREASE OF CRIME.

In all pr is Of our country, North and
South, Eas and West, there ia fearful
recklessne' prevailing in respect to the
commission Of heinous offences against law
and order. Great criminals are rapidly
multiplying. Horrible murders, daring
burglaries, theft, arson, and robbery seem
to be the order Of the day; indeed, crime
in every form stalks abroad, and would
seem to be epidemic. Human life is no
longer sacred. Men are murdered for
revenge, but more frequently for few
dollars. Husbands are numbering their
wives, and wives their husbands, that they
may crafty the lowest and most debased
OF human passions. The condition Of
things in this respect is becoming fear.
fully alarming, and there is no telling
whereunto this will lead, unless immediate
efforts are made to put q stop to these
things by the chosen ministers Of law.
Society has remedy for all this in the
stringent enforcement Of law. Moral
training, the suppression Of intemperance,
and the inculcation Of correct principles
respecting the mission and object Of human
government may do much; but the rigid
enforcement Of all the laws and the GER
tain iniiction of all the penalties which the
law prescribes will do more. 1t is not the
severity of the penalty, but the certainty
Of its infliction, which checks the wrong
doer from the perpetration Of contem-
plated crime, The way the law has been
administered-or perhaps we should say
not administered at all-has had the effect
to lead every one who, for selfish or mer-
cenary ends, determines to commit crime
to do it almost with impunity, under the
belief that he will very probably Escape.
Let it once be understood that there is no
escape, that the utmost penalty Of the law
will surely be visited upon the wrong -doer,
and wholesome restraint will be imposed,
the salutary influence Of which will soon
be manifest.
There is mawkish sentiment in the
community that sympathizes with and in
dulges q foolish pity for the criminal be-
cause he suffers. While it is true that we
should not entertain the spirit Of revenge
against the criminal-that we should har-
Dor no malice nor infict any unmerited.
"-~n''io- !. - ~q~-lIy t.~s that -s, in tho
administration Of law, should be as stern
as justice, and tnaexibly determined to
mets out equal and exact justice to all the
violators of law. 1t is the general la1ity
in this particular which is the prime cause
of the difficulty, and until we come back
to the good old way which our fathers pur-
sued, and to that commended by God him |
self, the evil complained of will increase
a. If we will SOW to the wind we shall reap
the whirlwind" If we look lightly upon
great crimes, and allow criminals to escape |
the just penalties of the law, we may ex.
pect to reap fruitful harvest in return for
our apathy nd neglect Away, then, with |
all this ill.tined sympathy for .he criminal,
and let the law have its Just sway, and the
evil complained of will soon be largely
diminished.
