The Late Murder TRIMS.

The Court OF Oyer and Terminer, and the
Court of General Sessions have been engaged
for some days on two very important murder
trials, both of which have resulted in the con-
viction OF the prisoners of lesser degree of
crime than that charged in the Indictment.
We do not propose to recte the incidents Of
the case of Cooney, charged with the murder
of O'Day, or Damn, charged with the murder
of Logan. They have already appeared fully
In our columns as the trials proceeded. But
there is something suggestive as regards pri-
vate morals connected with both cases that
should attract serious attention. In each case
the victim was cut off in one OF those disgrace
full barroom fights which are too frequent,
when the heat Of passion or the madness Of
liquor is only appeased by using the pistol or
the knife upon some unfortunate adversary.
Murder in cold blood, instigated solely by
vengeance, is not a common crime in this CON-
munity. Murder for pelf is more common; as
the cases of Nathan and Rogers and many
others show. But the largest percentage of
homicide by far is traceabe to the reckless
use Of deadly weapons in barroom brawls
The taking of human life in this way is almost
an occurrence of every day, or every night
Sometimes it may happen that no malice exists
in the mind Of the murderer. Often, perhaps,
there is not consciousness enough to discern
motive for the deed, and certainly not cosncious-
ness enough for measuring the consequences
of feaful crime. This makes that class of
homicide all the more dangerous for the com
munity. Premeditated murder rarely goes un-
discovered and unpublished. The vengeance
of Heaven pursues the murderer aud delivers
him into the hands of human justice.
The shedding Of blood, whether by premcdi-
tation or in the violence Of passion, is equally
unjustifable. 1t therefore behooves our judges
and juries to exercise their prerogatives with
the'ntmost caution when cases like those re-
ferred to come before them. Their very FREE
quency is reason why justice should be inaex
ible. The indiscriminate use Of the knife and
the pistol must be put down, and it can only
be done by administering the law firmly and
without favor.

the Annual Report Of this Fire Marshal
The annual report Of Fire Marshal McSpedon
for the year ending October 81, 1870, is full Of
interesting statistics. 1t is a gratifying evil
derce Of the increased efficiency Of the Fire
Department under the new regime that the
total number of fires during the year-S56-
shows decrease of 625 per cent from the
previous year. During the last six months
there has been remarkable decrease in the
average loss by fire-upwards Of So, 900 per fire
below the average for the previous six months.
Table No. 6 sets forth the fact that the number
of disastrous fires has greatly diminished OF
those particularly disastrous there were O.,
accompanied by loss of $50, 900 each, while
in 1869 there were no less than Is, or twice as
many. Forty-four fires were suspected to be
of incendary origin. Of twenty-eight per-
sons arrested on this charge some were hon
BY the new system of signals, which has been
in successful operation during the past six
months, alarms are transmitted with sur
prsing rapidly, only minute and thirty
seconds intervening between the discovery Of
a fire and the communication OF the locality to
the various companies and bell towers. Under
the old system at least eight minutes were re-
quisite for the same purpose. The report Of
the Fire Marshal concludes by demonstrating
the fact that the loss of life and the number OF
fires caused by dangerous compounds, sold and
used for Illuminating purposes, under the
names Of kerosene, liquid gas, gasoline, patent
safety gas, and so forth, are increasing at a
fearful rate, and by expressing an earnest
hope-in which all good citizens must unite
that the next Legislature will see the impor-
lance Of prompt and effective legislation upon
this subject.
