AJust and Needed Law.

THERE was introduced into the Legislature on
Friday last very proper bill, making provi-
sion for the license Of pawnbrokers. In addi-
tion to the requiring Of the license, it also
provides for the punishment of any OF that
class of tradesmen who seek to extort money
or TO aid thieves. The law, in the first place,
compels every pawnbroker to pay TO the
Mayor, for the city, $50 per annum for a GER
tfcate of authority to transact that business.
This is a fruitful source of revenue, and will
not fall heavily on any citizens. Bat no. only
does 1t thus give permanent fund to Phila-
delphia, and thus do good, but it also gives
the authorities a hold on these dealers-a
check on any of their msdeeds-which cannot
but be beneficial in its results. Thus, II any
suspicion of receiving stolen goods be shown
to be we'll founded, or if, under the disguise
ofa pledge, valuable property is received and
disposed of to the disadvantage of the owner,
the Mayor can revoke the license granted, and
either thus cause restitution or prevent
the parties implicated from exercising
their business in the future-a power of
suspension in cases where such transactions
are not exactly criminal, yet are certainly great
wrongs. There are many such cases which
are not sufficient to convict q person in the
dock of the Quarter Sessions, but are suAi.
cient to cause q revocation Of his license. In
this light, therefore, We see much good in the
proposed law. Then, again, it makes it a
penal offense to charge more than per cent.
a month for money loaned, or to sell the arti-
Gle pledged until after nine months from its
being given as securi y. Both of these pro-
visions would have salutary effect.
A stringent yet not unjust paragraph is
also inserted in regard to the receiving OF
stolen goods knowing them to have bsen
stolen. We all know right yell that, were it
not for the pawnbrokers, two-thirds of the
amount of sneak-thieving which is done
would not be attempted. The parties who
engage in the business of petty larceny would
have comparatively small inducements to do
80 were there not some parties who would
take their plunder off their hands. If they had
to sell it themselves, the risk of detection
would be too great, and few would run it..
But if in league with a pawpbroker, then ne
will take the goods chesply, keep them q
short time, and then dispose of them. By
this means the thieves can with comparative
safety ply their trade. The bill, as intro
duced by Mr.. Mullen, makes all who are con-
victed Of receiving stolen goods liable to a
fine of from $500 to $1,000 and Imprisonment
for not less than six months nor more than a
year. We see much good in the proposed
statute, and hope that it will be speedily
passed.

nearly 100. But the Age not only counts on
activity in the Democratic ranks; Il relies on
the apathy Of the Republicans as we'll. "Be-
fore the State contest in Connecticut takes
place." IL says, General Grant will have dis
tributed the Offices in his gift, ana as the
radical party is only held together by the
cohesion Of public plumber, It will melt away
like snow before the summer SUM-" II
would be downright cruelty to disturb the
symmetry of tbis very elegant and rather
novel metaphor, and we forbear further
remark except the expression of our belief,
founded upon the figures analysed above, that
the gubernatorial days of James Il. English
are numbered, and that his gubernatorial
hopes will flicker out on the 5th Of Ap IL
next, leaving the Connecticut Democracy
again in total darkness.

necessity of keeping up the land aud naval
ornaments 10 the standard of other countries
and the third was the necessity of encouraging
the national commerce and industry. To M set
these requirements o law was passed by the
French Chamber. in August last. authorizing
loan OF four hundred and twenty.nlne millions
Of francs. to he appropriated 10 tue objec above
named. The subscriptions to this loan opened on
the eth and closed on the 18th OF August, with
the entire amount taken mp. On the LIST Of Janu-
ary, 1859, The Treasury had already received
one hundred and niusiy-six millions cash. The
remainder is payable in fourteen instalments.
conformably to the law. In the budget Of 1857
the total expenses, ordinary aud extraordi-
nary were xc at 1905. 1850 70 francs. The re-
oeipts of every kind amoun'e to l7'O,Ss6,OOO
fancs. This sft O def ,it of l75062,0 0oO francs
which had been INST by an appropriation from
the loan of lst8. The budget OF 1853, as finally
a1justed by law, fixed tn tOtal am Dunt of ,he
o.diLslY and extraordinary expenses OF gov
ernment as l72l,9l5,9j fianos, aud mated
tue amount OF receipts at the same figure The
result, says M. Msgne, has confirmed and even
improved these estimates. The returns from
the indirect taxes alone for 1853 exceed those
OF the previous year by thirty tour millions,
and exceed the es.im aied returns by thirty
millions OF francs. The estimates for the
budget Of 1860 are larger thal those OF
lS06 owing to the increi Sc expe lse atte d
ing the reorganization of the army. the
creation OF National Garde Mobile, an
increase In the pay Of officers, and Improve
ments In other departments of government
service. Nevertheless, II the estimates of M.
Magne are correct. there viii be a small surplus
OF revenue over expenditure. These esGimates
are as follows:-Total receipts. l,722. .4i4 9OS
francs. Total expenses, 1,722O65732 francs
leaving surplus of 3Sl Ill francs. According
to the budget of 1870 the expenditure Will be
thirty millions greater than In 1862 or
1850 600 600 francs. The revenues. judged by
those of 1863 Will be 735 900 900 francs, showing
a surplus of S6OO0,0OO. which will be transferred
to the extraordinary budget 1t Is this extraor-
dinary budget which will have to bear the
expense of reorgsnizing the army and navy
and continuing the public works. The ap Ill
cation of an important portion OF the loan to
the reduction OF the floating debt WILL 1t Is
expected, "grRdually' bring this debt down TO
10000 coo francs.

A Pension for Mrs. Lincoln.


The Committee on Pensions in the United
States Senate have reported adversely to
granting to Mrs. Mary Lincoln, widow of the
late President, a pension. They base their
decision nominally on technical ground, but
in reality II arises from the adverse sentiment
felt by the American people to any such pro-
vision. The conduct of Mrs. Lincoln, not only
since the death of the President, but long
before, has been such as to utterly estrange
all those feelings which a people 30 gene
rous as our own would naturally feel for q
griefstricken widow. If one little of the tales
told be true-And where there is so much
smoke there is generally some flre-then she
has acted as spendthrift, and certainly not
as mourner. While, in case she should be
in actual want, il is probable that she would
be saved from starvation, yet at present, as
the only claim to the gift of $4,000 is that she
writes on deep mourning paper, We think the
committee did right in refusing, anyhow
until the facts of the case receive some in
vestigation.

The Age, in response to our insinuation that it
is addicted to the use Of harsh words, declares
that it "will never be mealy-mouthed when
an attempt is made to assail the rights of
Pennsylvania" This is an excellent plat
form, and we can only express our regret that
the Age does not always adhere to it. When
the grossest frauds were being perpetrated
upon the legal voters OF this city by Demo-
cratic judge, last fall the Age never once lifted
up its voice, except to assAil those who at
tempted to prevent an utter perversiOn of the
will Of the people.

llbellous character, they would fully oompre-
hend that this is no holiday task), but he
must necessarily depend, TO large extent,
upon the discretion Of correspondents, re-
porters, and editors; and II is utterly out OF
his power to know In advance the exact char
aoter Of every line which appears In any mum
ber Of his journal. Even II the writer's are
perfectly accurate, an unfortunate typographi-
cal error may convert an innocent paragraph
into an atrooious libel, and the
public may read sentence de-
olariDg that John Doe is the keeper OF a
bawdy- house, which was written to convey
the intelligence that he is the proprietor OF a
boarding house. There are grave lawyers
however, who contend that, no matter how
much care publisher exercises to prevent
the appearance of malicious articles in the
columns under his control, the fact of publ
cation is prina facie evidence of malice on his
part and that common sense and inherent
Justice must be set at def lance because anti
qRated dietums of sntediluvisu judges still
find place In musty law books. II the Legis-
lature fails to prevent them from urging this
odious doctrine at the bar, juries should
freely avail themselves of the privilege o.
barmonizing the law and the facts with
modern progress.
