pREHENTING Cruelty.


In a city which has been accustomed to
many wastes of vitality it is great deal TO
say that in the past year 236 cases of cruelty
to animals have been presented to the Courts,
and the lives of 1885 dogs gallantly saved.
Every one of these lives is saving to society,
if public cruelty may be always characterized
as public loss. We have suspected more
than once that the midsummer madness on
account of which the community saughters
its wagtailed innocents is in the dog-pOund
rather than the dogs. The anti-cuelty reform
ers, with Mr.. Bergh at their head, look deeply
and pathetically into the question of varying
and widening the sympathies of the world
when some of their most earnest efforts go
more literally than otherwise to the dogs.
BY reminding society that it can be cruel,
the friends of the horse and dog and COW do
us a very humanizing work. They strive to
prevent men from brutalizing themselves, and
when they save horses they save drivers. The
Preventionists were quite right in applying the
humanitarian method to the solution of the
cattleplague mystery. Almost every other
evil under which the useful animals generally
suffer may be explained in the same way.
Twelve hundred horses have been burned in
one year from being stabbed too high, accord
ing to the last anti-cruelty report, and horse
markets, slaughter houses and cattle-pens fence
in the old class of tOrtures and diseases.
Farms and groves are losers by reason of the
loss of insectivorous birds. All the statistics
in possession of the Bergh Society, as also
many facts in nature, help us to realize that
cruelty of any sort is social waste. There
fore, let no one undervalue what is, in truth,
a cartons and ;n,norfont offort t,DOn tl,n mart Of
intelligent and good-hearted men to promote
Christianity toward the brute. Divine maxims,
precious parallels, admirable stories of life,
have inspired the heart of society with keener
charity toward its halt and blind and poor,
aud it will lose nothing at all if only It's sense
of justice toward the brute can carry 1t step
further = - --~.
Apparently our hippo-humanitarians of New
York are not without a noble class of hearty
helpers and sympathizers. Fortunes of one and
two hundred thousand dollars have been be-
queathed their Society in the past year. This
effort is now we'll established and earnest, and
has become one of the constituent forces of
society. In words which have become proyerb
ial it is said that /" he prayeth well who loveth
"weh both man, and bird, and beast" and so,
In preventing men from doing cruelty to bird
and beast, the new class of humanitarians are
performing piOus work. Sooner or later, we
hope that the philanthropy which rescues the
dog will save society at the gallows from the
curse and disgust of having its human animals
strung up like dogs. The aim is the same,
whether it begins at tail or head. 1t Is I'M
portant that we should feelingly understand
what violence is done TO the common nature
in every act of cruelty for which the public is
responsible. If we can pity the dog, We shall
learn still greater pity for the man.

Now, although the late President has certain
porcine qualities. and especially an obstinacy
sometimes called frmness) which leads him
to insist upon walking in paths which he should
avoid, and upon avoiding ways wherein he

he had right to be called boar, which, with
slight change in orthOgraphy, he certainly is.

The decision Of Chief-Justice Chase, rendered

its recognition of the legality of the State Gov

for its reversal of Judge UnderwoOds remark

of the Chief Justice the ineligibility of certain

safer to risk his votes with them than to risk
himself again with their votes. He denies that
he has Joined the Democratic party. Probably
they would rather hire him when they want
him than take him into the family. He says
that on all political questions he will be found
true as the needle to the pole. Exactly;
the needle always turns to the nearest infu-
ence, and the metals attract it powerfully.
lie closed his speech by voting with the Demo
Gratis, because the needle is always true to its
pole, and we know what Mattoon's pole is.
New-York tribune., 1869-05-11

Senator Mattoon was quite right in thinking
that his course on the Tax Levies-to say
nothing of his course on great many other
matters that had money in them-needed ex-
planatiOn. We are only sorry that the ex-
planatiOn, like the course it concerns should
be marred with so many errors. Mr.. Nation
begins by saying that he represents a
strong Republican district. The district
is certainly Republican, but be does
not represent it, any more than he represents
Paradise. He says he stands there to represent
his constituents, and will be dictated to by no
man. He stands there to represent the Ring
that owns him, and he obeys it so cheerfully
that no dictatiOn is required. He says he will
take care of himself. We hasten to say
that in this one instance we believe
him. We credit his statement, indeed. 40
fully, that we have no doubt he made a vcrv
good bargain for himself Abstractly he NAV
have sold out cheap, but then it was a cbean
article that was selling. He says he will risIk
his votes with his constituents and his con-
science, With the latter doubtless anything
would be SAFE bat as to his constituents, we
assure him that it is great deal

The N. y Times, under the head of "Thc
!" Flood Tide of Emigration.n says

"Flood- Tide of Emigration" says:
1.-THE cry is still they come Probably never In the
history OF this country have there been such indications
OF enormous Immigration now. From All parts oi
Germany particularly from Prussia. and from all parts
OF Great Britain and particularly from Ireland the news
IS that peasantry and mechanics emigrang To Amer
lea in numbers unprecedented. Bremen aud Queenstown
are filed with them and the steamships and packets are
unable 20 accommodate those who apply; the companies
RAISE their rates. they charter other boats but they do
succeed in checking the pressure OF passengers
The Times suggests various reasons for this
wholesale immigration, (to which Canada
largely contributes,) but fails to note the fact
that we are erecting a good many new fac
tories and furnaces, opening mines, &C.
especially in the West and South, aud that
our newcomers are often drawn hither by con-
tracts with employers who promise them work
from the hour Of their arrival, and sometimes
advance the money to pay their passage
The wages paid by our miners and manufac-
turers are far higher than those current IN
Europe or Canada, and thousands are coming
expressly to earn them.
Is MT it remarkable that people rush to an
over taxed monopoly ridden country like TINS
away from Free Trade regions like Bntish
America and that they don't rush hither IN
any such numbers when we are enjoying Free
