The Shovel Murder.

The wanton murder of an inoffensive citizen
on First avenue on Monday is a warning to
us all, and conveys a disagreeable sugges-
ton that any of us may be knocked over the
head with a shovel by drunken rowdy at any
time of the day. 1t does not require man to
go into ''rough" society or expose himself to
danger in low haunts in order to be cut Off in
the midst of his health and strength. He can
be made the victim of a rufaanly murderer on
the sidewalk while pursuing his peaceful way.
as was this poor man Reisoher on First avenue
at one o'clock in the day.
There was devilish intent to kill on the
part Of the murderer, Quinn, and he cared
little who was the victim, Having failed in
his attack upon the momentary object Of his
resentment he struck down an unoffsndiny
passer-by with terrible blow of q coal shovel
a fatal blow, from which he never recovered.
Fortunately the murderer is in the hands OF
justice. He makes one more among the num-
ber of murderers who have of late been filing
up the cells of the Tombs. We look to the
Grand Jury, the District Attorney and the
judges to rid us of this pestilent crew of dan
gerous criminals Society Is tainted with q
cloud of such wretches, with whom to kill,
without purpose or provocation, seems to be

Bostonians Waking Up Again.

Two years ago the steamers of the Cunard
line were withdrawn from Boston for lack OF
encouragement. But subsequently the Cunard
line and the Inman line each sent fortnightly
steamer to Boston and to New York, return
ing from this city to Liverpool. And now the
Boston journals announce that owing to the
reconstruction of the Grand Junction Railway,
to the erection Of the East Boston elevator,
and to other improvements in the Trimountain
City and its vicinity, as well as to changes
of gauge on many of the Western railways,
conforming them to the Massachusetts, stand
ard, Boston can offer sufficient inducements by
shipments of Western produce for the re-estab-
lishment of an exclusive line of steamers. 1t
is added that the principal railway lines con-
verging at Boston have so arranged their
freight tariffs that the rates are the same to
Boston as to New York on all Western goods
intended for expectation. Two steamers of
the Cunard line are advertised to leave Bos-
ton for Lverpool-one on the 22d instant, the
other week later-and it is understood that
they will be regularly followed by others if the
Bostonians are wide awake enough to ma Ike
the new enterprise profitable.

THE Loss OF THE CAPTAIN.-The British
press are calling for an Investigation as to
the cause of the iron ship Captain being
wrecked off Cape Finisterre. The Shipping
Gazette demands to know the reason why
one of the stanchest vessels afoat should
founder in weather which collier might have
outlived. We fancy that the investigation
will prove the unfortunate Captain not to have
been lone of the stanchest vessels afoat, {"
and herein lay the cause of the disaster. She
was evidently constructed with view to resist
danger from hostile batteries, without sufficient
consideration for hostile gales OF wind or
heavy seas. AS floating battery she might
have been grand success, operating in shall
low waters, but she was evidently not suited
to stand heavy weather. She stood the gale
SO badly that before she. went down one of her
heavy guns got loose from its fastenings, and,
swinging around, killed a gunner. If the
investigation demanded is thoroughly con-
Quoted many interesting facts relative to the
building of turreted iron ships will be
elicited-facts that may be of the highest
importance to this country and to all ship
building nations.

rhc 5Enyor ard the Census.

The Mayor hears the opinions Of many people
who declare, from positive knowledge within
their own sphere, that the census has been
very mperfectly taken, and he proposes, as
an experiment, that several districts shall be
taken to sec how the result tallies with the
published results Of the United States census.
1t is an excellent proposition, and should be
acted upon. 1t is, however, declared by the
Pharisees of radical journalism in this city
that the Mayor thus reflects on the honesty of
Marshal Sharpe or somebody else. We do
not see this; but suppose he does? 1t is a
standing rule with the radical press to assume,
as the basis of all they may say of their
opponents, that every democrat, high or low,
rich or poor, is rogue, robber, flcher of
valuables, and man generally affiliated with
thieves and cutthroats. If, now, any demo-
crat follows this example Of the virtuous, and
implies that a republican may be dishonest,
we shall not insist that he be hooted in the
streets for it. But from our point of view
the Mayor makes no such implication. He
only touches upon what is notorious-that the
subordinates, through ignorance, negligence,
or for any other reason, have not done their
duty we II, and he proposes test. We ought

THE ELECTION FRAUDS IN BRooKLYN.-
The convictions in the case of the Brooklyn
election frauds have been confirmed by the
General Term Of the Supreme Court, and un-
less the Court Of Appeals overrules the deci-
sions in the two courts several jealous demo-
cratic politicians of the City of Churches
will spend few days in the penitentiary.
The Court of Appeals can hardly overrule
the decisions under the circumstances for
it is an actual fact that the only defence made
in one of the cases-and the test one at that
was that the defendant who was charged
with wilfully losing the returns of the Six
teenth ward, was so overcome by the strains
of fiddle which q strolling player came into
his Office to play that he forgot all about the
returns and went away, following the music,
without them. The defence was evidently a
burlesque, and the defendant evidently con-
sidered the trial no better. It is to be pre-
sumed, however, that he now thinks it very
affecting drama.

Order Reisr. at pari..

Full justice has never been done to the
orderly spirit which the people Of Paris have
often manifested at eventful crises in their
history Their self-control has more than
once been even sublime, confounding and put
ting to shame the unthinking parrots who are
fond Of repeating the old, commonplace false
hood that the French are incapable of self
government. In l84S no devastation of any
kind took place during the long popular inva-
sion of the Hotel de Vile. Not single
object of value disappeared. A colossal bust
of Louis Philippe was the only thing injured.
The precaution of NJ Flotard in causing the
wine casks in the cellars to be STAYED was
almost superduous. History has recorded to
the eternal honor of the people Of Paris that
not one act of personal violence was commit
ted and no private property was menaced
during the prolonged period between the
downfall Of monarchical and the estab-
lishment of republican power. Madame
d'Agoult, one of the best historians Of the
republic Of 1S4S, testlaes truly that, notwith-
standing the impure fermentation which
always accompanies an uprising of the masses,
generosity, gentleness, or naif enthusiasm Of
fraternity, proud disinterestedness, deli
cate courtesy, constituted the vengeance Of
this people, so justly exasperated, upon those
who had forgotten or calumniated their
misery. Nevertheless they had been excited
during the combat by fanatics, by
conspirators, by men familiar with the theory
Of political assassination. More than one sub
altern Marat had already whispered to them
10 the dark his sanguinary inspirations. But
even the delirium Of this people in arms,
abandoned to their own impulses in the in
toxication of victory, betrayed only the secret
of their grandeur. The ideal of the republic,
80 long hidden, buried in their bosoms with
passionate jealousy, came forth pure. The
first words which poet addressed in the
name of this republican people to France and
to the world were words of peace and concord.
In the actual crisis the people of Paris
display the same magnanimity, volunteering
not only to defend the Notifications against
Prussian invaders, but also to aid General
Trochu and the provisional government in
maintaining order within the city. The only
serious fmeute which few conspirators have
succeeded in starting was promptly suppressed
as much by the popular indignation as by the
energy of the police. The large number of
escaped criminals who lurk in Paris, COM
posing by far the greatest proportion of its
dangerous classes, and the members of the
secret clubs, are alike under the strict sur
veillance both of the people and the authori-
ties. The order which reigns at Paris is
highly encouraging for the prospects of the
new republic.

Party Tricks i'm Wyoming.

In the recent election in Wyoming, wherein
the vote of the women secured a republican
delegate to Congress over the present demo-
cratic incumbent, it appears that two women,
running for minor ofices-one for county
clerk and tho other for school superin-
tendent of Laramie county-were defeated.
This ill treatment of their own aspiring sex is
enough to condemn the whole female party in
Wyoming. The defeat may have been occa-
stoned by the treachery of their republican allies,
who, although having no hesitation, doubtless,
in accepting their aid to ov ercome the common
democratic enemy, may yet have gone back
on them when the women candidates were to
be voted for. If such is the case it ought to
teach the women politicians to study politics
more closely. to learn the willy and overreach-
ing maneuvres which each party practises
upon the other when 1t can, and to provide
against them or play them back upon the
opponent. If they propose to purify politics
they must be careful not to enter the ring in
too fabby condition. They must train for
the fight, or the hardy old pugilists Of
suffrage-those horrid men-will demoralize
them entirely out Of time at the first round.
We incline to the opinion that the designing
leaders of the party with which they allied
themselves played upon them in the present
instance, as that ''heathen Chinee" played
upon Nye. For, Notwithstanding Lady
Mary Wortley Montague's idea that women
do not love each other, we cannot believe that
the women of Wyoming could, out of pure
spite, have voted against these women for

VERY CONSIDERABLE was the idea of the
managers OF the Franco Irish demonstration
at Cooper Institute the other evening, as
expressed in one OF the resolutions, that they
postponed their mass meeting until the present
time out Of respect for their German fellow
citizens while the war was waged between
Germany and French imperialism. Now,
however, that the King of Prussia seems
determined to war against repuolicanism in
France-imperialism being annihiia;ed-they
feel in q position not alone TO sastain the
French people, but to ask all liberal Germans
to join them in the expression of sympathy for
people fighting for free government.

LOOKING AFTER THE SMALL CHANGE
The telegraphic announcement that an inquiry
has been set on foot at Paris to find out what
disposal has been made of the vast secret SER
vice fund of the late imperial government
seems somewhat apocryphal. With the Prus-
SLAMS laundering at the gates of Paris the
provisional government has something else to
do than to look after the small change scat
tered by the extravagant bellies and dandies
of the imperial Court Besides, such an in
quiry would be like trying to lock the stable
door after the horses have all been stolen.

THE DEMOCRATIC MIDDLE IN GEORGIA.
Every mail brings us protests from the Georgia
democratic press against Judge Stephens
movement in favor of nominating ineligible
candidates for Congress. We give In our politi-
cal column an extract showing the sentiment
of at least portion of the people in regard to
Judge Stephens unfortunate error. AS is
stated, there are plenty Of worthy men who
are free from disabilities and capable of repre-
senting the State in the halls OF Congress
with honor and dignity. Such men should be
nominated, and, if elected, sent to take their
seats as representatives Of one OF the richest
States, naturally, in the Union.
