THE PRESS AND THE PUBLIC. In ninety-nine
cases out of hundred-perhaps we might say in
nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out OF a thous-
and, the conductors of public journals have no per-
sona feeling, in doing their duty to the public by
exposing frauds or denouncing rascalities. Hence
the injustice as well as the folly OF picking quar-
rels with editors, and attempting to visit them
with libel suits and other vexations to crafty pet
ty spite and mean vndictiveness. If the press hap
pens to be mistaken in any instance, it is always
ready to make PREPARATION and allow the injured
party ample means to vindicate and put himself
right.
But on the other hand, when a supposed SWIM
dler is really swindler-and his alleged irregu-
larities beyond doubt, he will show a mad indis
erection In venturing upon fight with newspapers.
He will find them always too strong for him, and
united in their strength; and he will have his de-
merits thoroughly ventilated, without mercy. From
end of the land to the other be will get an un-
envlabe notoriety.
There isn't money enough to be made by the
luckiest Of gamblers, there isn't pluck enough in
the most reckless of operators, to frjghten or con
quer the hosts of journalists who will make com
mon cause in defending the freedom and independ
ence of their vocation; and in their maintenance
Of right and denunciation of wrong, in their judi
caal capacity, public sentiment always sustaini

The WILD BEAST OF TIE NIGHT. On
the fourth of this month, at Leeds, England,
three wild beasts who had been convicted of
garrote robberies, received twenty-five
lashes each with a cat-o-niue tails in the
central hall of the borough jail. Two of
these criminals, as the papers inform US,
gave way to howls of bitter anguish under
the infection, while the third stolidly and
doggedly carried out his bravado to the end
1t is quite likely that this application of
whip-law will furnish sentimental reform
ers with theme for much dissertation upon
the delicate proportion to be observed be-
tween crime and punishment. Some of
these radical "humanitarians" aver that a
man should not be hanged even for murder
in the first degree. To such it will appear,
probably, that twenty-five lashes with a
cat is very excessive punishment for
the little eccentriclty of first strangling a
solitary waytarer nearly to death, and then
relieving him of what may possibly be ali
the property owned by him in the world.
Instances have occurred of persons who
had been subjected to the hug OF the high
wayman, not recovering from the injuries
inflicted, but dying sooner or later from the
shock suffered by their nervous systems
The majority Of persons thus assaulted do
not suffer any bodily injury from the pro-
cess. Would it be we'll, then, in the case
of the garrote or of any other murderous
violence, to graduate the punishment f. the
amount OF injury suffered by the victim !?
Hardly SO, according to our way Of think
ing. Ninety-nine times out of hundred,
whether he be garroter or singer of the
slungshot, he neither knows or cares what
may come of the singing or striking ad-
minstered by him to his prey He is
always a wild beast invariably, and with
out any exception whatever, prower as
bloody, as cowardly, and as disgusting as
the hyena that dogs the steps of the travel
Ter in the desert by night, and proceeds TO
throttle him when he is asleep by the way
side. Ii a friend of the traveller happens
to come along just then, he either shoots the
beast down or beats it to death with a club.
The garroter is wild beast of the night
likewise is the slung-shot ruf1ian, and so of
all his kind. The law is, or ought to be,
the friend of the traveller who mas fallen
by the wayside. Comparing things, then,
twenty-five lashes on the back with cat
o'-nine tails appears to be very easy let
off for a wild beast of the night. n. Y.

THE BoLDNEsS OF CRIME IN NEW York.
The villains Of New York now employ the air
gun for the purpose of murder and robbery
On Tuesday last, about noon, brokers' office
in that city was occupied by one clerk only.
In the window OF the Office was q quantity of
gold, some 500 L. S. currency bills, land other
money of various denominations. Suddenly a
pane of glass was broken and the startled clerk
glances around to ascertain the cause. There
was no one to be seen near the window, how
ever, and he began to think the affair was an
accident when five men passed the window
and peeped in eagerly, but seeing clerk at his
post and his face indicative OF surprise they
hurriedly passed on ana disappeared Their ap-
pearance and manner excited the suspicion that
they were concerned in some way with the
broken window An examination of the prem
ises was made, and in the desk close by the
clerk bullet such is used in air guns was
found embedded. No report Of firearms was
beard. The poor fellow narrowly escaped an
unit mey end at the hands of ru1ians who re-
gard society as their natural prey, and who for
the prospect of robbery attempt to take human
life. There can be no doubt but the rulians
who peered in at the window expected to find
the clerk dead, killed by the bullet from the air
gun, and that they intended in that event tc
rob the office.
