Tho High Carnival of Crime.

There are glorious doings In the name Of
faith, morality, religion and virtue going on
in the churches. Reviyals and conversions are
numerous; critical sermons upon theatrical
matters and denunciatory Of vice in all shapes
rcsound from the pulpits; but oil these things
aro confined to the upper stratum Of society.
The lower stratum, meantime, Is enjoying q
high carnival OF crime. Murder in It's most
brutal form stains the records Of our daily lifo.
There have, perhaps, rarely been two instances
Of depravity so fearful as the murder cases in

The losses By connagratons during the past
winter months have, in the aggregate, been
severe but the statistics show o remarkable
exemption from those of heavy character in
the city Of New York during the same period.
During the month OF December there was but
one fire where the loss reached one hundred
thousand dollars, and but two or three where
1t exceeded twenty thousand dollars. During
January there was not single fire in this city
where the loss reached twenty thousand dol
lars, and the aggregate Of all below that sum
was less than one hundred and seventy thou
sand dollars. The losses for the month just
closed february were much heavier than dur
paratively small when compared to the devas.
tating winter connagrations OF only few years
past To whatever causes may be attributed
this comparative exemption from heavy confa-
gratons in this city during the most incloment
and usually most destructive months OF the
year, whether to tho introduction Of steam Gre
engines, to Tho paid system or TO the better
management of tho department generally, our
citizens have much cause for congratulation
without disparaging the old system, which
won an enduring reputation for activity and
efficiency, praise should not be withheld from
the new when IL is fairly entitled to it, A
comparison with the losses sustained In other
cties-Chicago, for example--during the winter
months also shows resul! extremely favor.
able for this city. During the month Of January
last Chicago was visited by the enormous
number OF four hundred and forty-one fires,
occasioning an aggregate loss OF about a
million and ihree-fourihs. St. Louis had two
hundred and sixty.eight afes, with an aggrc-
gate loss OF nearly two millions. During the
same month thero were but seventy ares and
alarms In this city, with the loss as above
stated These 6gures show where insurance
