AMI put his adversary out Of existence with
the comparative certainty that no convic-
ton will be obtained against him. This
il a deplorable state Of affairs, but an
accumulation Of events in legal procedure
proves its truth. On few occasions the law
vindicated itself in spite of the position Of the
criminals. For example, there was the case
of Professor Webster, who was hung in Boston
for the murder Of DR.. Parkman, and the case
OF Colt, who murdered Adams in this city, but
who evaded the gallows, to which the law con-
demned him, only by committing suicide in his
cell. Here social standing did not set aside
the operations Of the law. These, however,
may be regarded as exceptional cases. It is
true that the death penalty Of murder is
usually carried out in New Jersey with un-
qualified justice, SO that to commit murder
there is to invite the agonies of the scaffold;
aud this is redeeming virtue in that other
wise so-called forsaken State. We want more
OF New Jersey and New England infexibility
here in the administration of the law in cases
Of murder

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue in
his report emphasizes his proposal to resign
Office by practically admitting that he is unfit
for his place-unwilling or unable to perform
its duties. He reports q great falling off in
the revenue from certain articles, and indi-
Gates that he knows the cause of this falling
oil by telling us what it is, but has nothing to
show of any energetic or practical steps he
has taken to apply even such remedies as
were unquestionably in his power. He only
mumbles complaints that certain other RENE
dies are out of his reach and suggests some
feeble propositions for new legislation. Sup
posing him, therefore, as honest as the sun
shine, he is incompetent and an officer with
no better qualification for his place than good
Intentions is the worst of all public nuisances.
Dealing with hordes OF acknowledged thieves
requires quite other virtue than that of ami
able honesty, and the sooner Mr.. Rollins is
out Of the way the better, by his own show
ing, it must be for the public interest In 1866
there were collected from distilled spirits
twenty-nine millions of revenue. In 1868 the
sum collected from the same source was four
teen millions-less than one-half The falling
of, says the Commissioner, resulted ''mainly
from frauds. Here, then, was direct
Increase in the loss by stealing Of
fifteen million dollars on one item
We know that the government GER
tainly lost that sum through the inefIiciency of
those in whose hands it has put the collection
of the revenue, while If we consider what
was probably stolen in 1866 also we can
scarcely guess the figures to which the steal
Ing really went in 1868. The remedy against
the frauds that caused this immense loss lies,
says the Commissioner, Gin the improved
character Of the revenue and judicial officers"
Here is the declaration that in his own depart
ment he is surrounded by thieves. Unless we
improve the character of our revenue officers we
cannot collect the revenue. Under Mr.. Rollins
own eyes, in his view, always within his reach,
this system of gigantic fraud has grown up
and has become developed to its present pro-
portions, and he is powerless against it. In a
department thus rotten there Is something
wrong at the head. If it is only incompetency
we may morally be glad to know it, but prac-
ically incompetency in such place is as bad
as crime. Let it be well tried If fit man for
this position cannot in some measure do away
with the reproach now likely to stand against
us that we have the most corrupt government
on earth. =
