OBSCENE PUBLICATIONS.

10 the Editor ofThe IriluEt
SIR: You are doubtless aware OF the daily increase
of obscene sheets in your city. They now pour
ing into country villages at fearful rate. Some
Of them of the most revolving character. and arc
working an immense deal Of injury. Is there no way
by which the evil can be checkedg Can nothing be
done in the matterf Ii certainly is worth your
attention. Ii is rapidly on the increase. nce1taiy
is novelty with us for such sheets never circulated
in this section before Yours, fHANh bNo'
Pine Plains, Feb. :, 1868.
Reply-There is no statute against obscene OF In
decent publications IN New York They constitute
misdemeanor at common law, and TO either publish
or sell them subjects the offender in tins state 10
fine not exceeding $1,000, and Imprisonment IN
county Jail not exceeding one year. The common
law is the same in and for all the States being our
inheritance from English law. Unless there are posi-
tive statutes in other States the oense Is ndictabe
at common law as a misdemeanor there, as here,
The practical mode of reaching the difficulty is.
whenever you see n newsstand keeping them for
sale buy one as evidence, make your complaint be-
fore the nearest Justice have the offender indicted
before the next Grand Jury. If you sustain your
complaint before the Justice il is his duty TO commit
the offender hold him to bail, as for any common
law misdemeanor. Unless citizens and officers arc
pubicsp spirited enough TO take hold Of the vendors on
these obscene sheets, We see no way Of stopping
them,

a Democratic soldier shot Rebel, he shot him con.

shot the Rebels otherwise.
H. That the whole depression of business and par
tcularly the manufacturing business at the present
time,is caused by unequal taxation the greatest
item being the exemption Of Government securities.
which is crushing operation to the poor laboring
class New Hampshire having some S25,0OO,00O in
