The Detective Dimculty.

There seems disposition to make Young
recently the detective captain, the victim for
shortcomings not his, but due in fact to the
bad system Of which he was part It Is the
system that is to blame. He did not invent it and
could not change it if he ever had any desire to.
Nothing can be worse on its face than the idea
Of making thieves and the police mere con-
federates; yet this thing is constantly done by
the system Of compounding crimes to recover
property By this system the rogue is never
in danger. He steals in the hope of getting
off with his plumber, but in the certainty that
ifpursuit becomes hot timely surrender will
insure his safety. He surrcnders and the
plumber is divided between the owner and the
detectives. Thus, when thief succeeds he
steals for himself, but when he fails he steals
for the detectives. The police is thus directly
interested in the cultivation Of crime, in en-
couraging robberies on grand scale, and in
never driving great rogues to such extremes
as would compel them to give up their opera
tions. We have the same system on smaller
scale In other parts of the police administra-
tion. All the dens of iniquity in this town are
permitted because they serve the police al
convenient traps in which to catch the rogues
who drift this way.

DASeERous. There is society here that Is
called the Association for the Prevention Of
Gambling. Its method of preventing this vice
is to keep spies on duty at the gambling places
to get the names of visitors, and then the so
ciety communicates with the employers or
business partners or other persons interested
in the honesty of the person, reporting the fact
Of his visit to such places. Now, we have an
idea that a society acting on these principles 10
worse than the vice it fights against. The dis
honesty that may be in gambling is but ono
phase of dishonor; but here is the whole
figure of that moral horror, Even with those
who believe in the above society Its motive is.
perhaps, all that justiies it. But suppose
abuses this damaging report to be
made falsely, through malice. What then ?
This society must be wrong sometimes. 1t is
as likely to be deceived in its agents as others
are Who started here this Italian institu-
ton?

PARIS FASHIONS DURING LENT.-During
Lent our Paris fashions correspondent has
been to church, as In duty bound, and our
lady readers are therefore informed to-day
how the fair penitents dress who form the
largest part Of the fashionable congregation Of
Father Felix at the cathedral Of Notre Dame.
Old fashioned sedan chairs have been revived
in Paris, and ladies Of the faubourg Saint
German now go to church In them and not on
the velocipedes recommended for that purpose
by Henry Ward Beecher. The pastor Of Ply
mouth Church might also recommend the new
money bag-"s long, dangling aims pouch
made Of artificial Howers"-which Is now worn
In full dress at tho Paris churches. But, like
most Americans, he cannot have much venera-
ton for the old clothes, the cooked hats and
gray coats Of Napoleon the First, which we're
lately bequeathed by the cousin Of the present
Emperor, the Princess Bacciochi, 10 the
Museum Of Sovereigns at the Louvre.

DISSERTATION. Nothing can be more revolt
ing to humanity than that carving up Of .
dead friend or relative called a post-mortem
examination. Only the necessities OF public
safety ever justify this proceeding where
there are friends to be shocked and grieved BY
II. II should never be done where there is no
doubt as TO the cause Of death. Yet II is said
that there Is an arrangement about our
Coroners' Offices to force these examinations
where they are not necessary in order 70
collect the fees payable in these cases. Whore
will this rapacity stop2

IMPROVEMENT LoAN.-That is good propo-
sition now before the State Senate to pay for
local improvements done by the city authorities
on different plan from the one hitherto In
use. BY any considerable street opening or
in it's benefited, and therefore the whole
city should pay; but property near the i'm
provement receives more benefit, and there
fore should pay larger proportion. The plan
is to meet these points by assessing part Of
the cost, as now, and paying part by an issue
of city stock.

Zeal.

The recent raid upon the hagpoles and
certain projecting signs on Broadway afforded
the crowbar brigade signal opportunity for
displaying their valor and illustrating the
official, If sometimes misdirected, zeal Of the
much maligned Street Commissioners and
Inspectors. 1t also afforded fresh illustra-
tion Of the fact that ''the powers that. be" of
every class are liable to periodical and violent
outbursts of official zeal, as well as Of the
additional fact that they almost always strain
at gnat and swallow camel. The sidewalks
Of our most frequented thoroughfares and
busiest streets are often blocked up for miles
with piles of boxes or hogsheads or bricks and
other building materials, without any efectual
attempt to remove these distractions for the
convenience of the over-patient public. In
many street a double line Of wagons and
carts is permitted to extend throughout its
entire length almost every night in the year,
like an emigrant train camping out on the
Western plains but suddenly an old statute Ia
discovered and rigidly enforced, prohibiting
fagpoles and signs from running out over the
street. No more banners must be hung on the
outer walls, and those who seek for sign
shall not find it projecting anywhere from
White street to Thirty-frst street.
Occasionally, while all is quiet at Police
Headquarters, startling flourish Of trumpets
is heard, ''the force" is marshalled in battle
array, and special care is taken that newspaper
reporters shall be summoned In. order to
chronicle duly the exploits of the night. But,
after all, the result is usually ridiculously
Insignificant Pdrturiunt nsontes, nGscetur

girls are dragged from dance cellar in Water

ABOUT A FISH BALL.--The very elegant
and magnanimous people who got up tho
Inauguration ball refuse to pay for their
supper. They agreed to give the caterer half
the proceeds, and he took the chances and
went In for speculation; but as the proceeds
were heavy they want to cheat him. Insu-
guration balls are always got up by men Of this
class. There was man in Pennsylvania once
who would steal acorns from blind hog, but
he was not 80 bad as these fellows.

OVER THEY Go.--Accounts Of railroad
accidents multiply. Il has become fashionable
nowadays for trains to take lively turn down
an embankment, giving passengers the benefit
Of the gyrations. The last case occurred ON
the Grand Trunk Railway in Canada, sending
topsy turvy the passengers In one Of those
inviting travelling vehicles called palatiai
sleeping cars. Elegance did not prevent occu-
pants nom receiving severe contusions.

AN IMPORTANT BILL SIGSED.-The Presi-
dent has signed the bill establishing equal
rights to blacks with whites in the District of
Columbia, to act as jurors, to hold office. &C.,
the right Of suffrage having been established
heretofore. This is an important bill, for II is
the beginning of the end in reference to the
rights of negroes to hold Office. The abolition
of slavery commenced In the District of Co
lumbia, and so did negro suffrage. The third
and last step in this programme Of "equal
rights has now been taken in the same dis
trict, and 1t is tantamount, under the circum-
stances, to settlement Of the question
throughout the United States.

wmcn DOES He MEAN Carl Schurz says
that the great abuses in the appointments to
Office are due TO the fact that place is given
for personal or political favoritism. Does this
refer to the Senator's appeal to Grant to mako

souri,, or to Grants reply that he knew the
people of Missouri better than Schurz did ?

THE TENURE OF OFFICE LAw-CoUNTINo
NosEs.-We have before us several conflicting
estimates of the probable vote of the Senate
on the repeal of the Tenure of Office law.
From these estimates, or conjectures, rather, we
get the admission from both sides that the re-
suit is doubtful. The democrats, In their zeal
FOR the repeal, have, we apprehend, been scar
ing some of the carpet-baggers over to the
Sther side. But still the pressure of the Office
Aeekers for the repeal is telling in the radical
rtnks, and the repealers are sanguine Of sue
ckss, for they have the right on their side and
the President.
The New York herald., 1869-03-21

AN ARGUMENT. T.--Carl sSchurz's reason for
not voting for the repeal of the Civil Tenure
bill now is that he wants to vote for the repeal

self of the pleasure of voting against tho
repeal next session.

The Advancing Conaas grafton In Cuba

AnO huvaucAu8 OVmuu uoHuSAOu IN SuOue
An intelligent examination of the telegraphic
advices from Cuba shows that the revolutionary
conAagration is advancing westward irresis-
tibly, Notwithstanding the repeated reports
from Havana Of the insurgent defeats. In
fact, it is these reports of Spanish successes
which give us the first intimation of the
appearance of the revolutionists at new points.
The last kilograms advise US of the appearance
of an insurgent force at Macagua and the
great activity Of others at Bolondron. The
place first named is the eastern terminus of the
system Of railroads radiating from Havana,
Matamoros and Cardenas, and the second is an
important point in the heart of the great sugar
district of Cuba. When this district becomes
involved in the revolution, as has all the
country east Of it, vital blow will be struck
at the resources of the Spanish government
These are now derived entirely from the slave
labor Of the Western Department, and the
recent decree Of the Cuban revolutionists
establishing the unconditional abolition of
slavery ensures the early destruction of the
system.

Tho New Game Law.

The law for the protection Of game, intro
duced in the Assembly by Mr.. Skeels, is
decided Improvement on anything that our
sportsmen have had heretofore. 1t prevents
all deer shooting on Long Island for five years,
and all woodcock, quail and partridge shooting
in the same locality for the same term, unless
by person who has stocked the island with
game. These provisions will hardly meet with
general approval. Woodcock and partridges
cannot be obtained to stock any place with,
and sportsmen are not 80 selfish as to expect
to- keep the shooting all to themselves simply
because they were fortunate enough to obtain
a few quail during the past winter. There is
another provison-that no set nets or pounds
shall be used in any of the waters OF this
State-which must have got in through over
sight, as it would prevent the shad fishing
entirely by citizens Of New York in the
Hudson river, and hand the entire business
over to yerseymen. 1t would also strike a
heavy blow at the Long Island fishermen,
who use pounds and make the Sound shore Of
Connecticut q profitable rendezvous for that
class of citizens. With these and some other
minor exceptions the law is good one and
will give universal satisfaction.
1t reduces the time for killing deer to the
three months of October, November and
December; it allows woodcock shooting to
commence on the Fourth of July, and stops the
sale of all quail, partridges, prairie chickens
and fresh venison on the LIST OF March. 1t
forbids the use of batteries in the South Bay,
prohibits sailing for ducks or killing them at
night; all of which are most excellent enact
ments. Trout fishing commences on the LIST
of March on Long Island and on the 1st Of
April in the rest of the State. Most Of the
provisions are sensible and consistent, and,
even if the law is passed in its present state, it
will be in the main correct

were wont to take place In this city in the
month of May, pleasant and profitable though
they may have been to many, were undigni-
fed, and, in q certain sense, unworthy of that
sacred cause in whose name and behoof they
were held. They had but one object, and that
object was money. To secure this object the
public meeting and the many speeches were
deemed necessary. Since the HERALD COM
menced to take the churches in hand It is found
that to court publicity is very much q work OF
supererogation. That which is made known
everywhere cannot be made more public.
That good cause which Is set before our
million readers, and which 80 effectively
speaks for itself, requires no further advocacy.
We are not surprised. therefore, to learn that
the May meetings are not to take place this
year. Even the Evangelical Alliance has con-
cluded that it is unnecessary for the present to
assemble the lights Of the Protestant world in
this city We are glad to see our labors so
handsomely acknowledged. The church So
cieties will not be the poorer because the an
niversaries have been discontinued. The
purse strings of our New York merchant
princes are far more likely to yield to the smart
advocacy of the newspaper than to long
winded anniversary orations. We consider
this one good result already gained.
Other results will follow. We certainly ex-
pect that the style and tone of pulpit oratory
will be greatly improved. We want ideas.
We want taste and elegance and oratorical
power, of course but we want ideas
above all. The pulpit has been
little too slow. There has been too much talk
ing for talking's sake. Anything was good
enough if only it covered the requisite time.
The preacher must now be prepared to see
himself in print and to know that his intellec
tual measure is taken by thousands who never
saw or heard him. This publicity win no
doubt be the ruin of some; it will also be the
making of many. It will no longer be pos
sible to complain in this city or neighborhood
that the lights Of the pulpit are hid under q
bushel. This new missionary movement, which
we have instituted and with which we identify
ourselves, whatever may be its effect upon in
dividuals or upon church organizations, cannot
fail to have powerful influence in Fastening the
day when Christianity shall be the religion Of
the entire family Of man. The press is to b
the great power of the future. With the press
at her back Christianity need fear no foe
