THE MORAL OF THE LAST MURDER,

Another murder, atrociOus in itself and
alarming in its suggestions, disgraced the city
on Saturday night. A party of Germans,
quietly seated in saloon, were intruded upon
by number of rufiians crazed with drink,
who, not content with refusing to pay for
liquor they had ordered and drunk, invaded
the private portion of the house, and heaped
upon women the most infamous epithets.
CajOled, rather than forced from the house,
they assaulted it from the street with shower
of stones, and one of the missiles struck and
killed an inmate as he was closing the door
against the rioters. The young desperadoes-
the oldest of them not twenty-had rOamed
for hours unchecked through the Streets and
dispersed unmolested after ending the orgies
of the night with this foul murder, although
it appears three of them have since been ar
rested.
Comment upon such facts can hardly
be necessary. All men can see that this crime
means something more vital than the wantOn
killing of peaceable citizen. Coupling it
with the other affairs which have been 80
numerous since Tammany tore down the
sluce- gates that checked the flood of rum and
ruin, this murder means the swift On-coming
of uncomfortable laWlessness. When the Leg

nature in new and effective forms, embodying
vital truths, he can hardly want for dramat'S
persona in this great plain, stretched from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, where savages and
saints, Pagans and Presbyterians, Digger In
dams and women, enlightened and fashioned
to Brahmanism, are all at home together.

whether she is in love or not with Mr.. John

these works of High Art exhaust all the springs
of human actionP We confess we are growing
a little weary of pictures of British society
which are precisely the gossip we hear at tea
tables OF the club, in print with change OF
name. We want to hear how Passion and
Virtue, God and the Devil, show themselves
through the stronger, fresher natures OF new
world Can none Of our writers go out, as
Dickens did, and paint what lies about them
One hint we will give them. In out-of-the-way
corners of the older States there is fast dying
out now a race which has never yet, except
in New-England, been photographed or chron-
icled-the "old settlers "-men and women
sometimes of great native strength and large
culture, whose natures are broadened ana
hardened into queer idiosyncracies by dlnt OF
wrestling with crude, unsubdued soil, and a
solitary, halt-civilized life. They form an In
valuable portrait gallery for the artist VINO
knows his opportunity, possessing strong acrid
individuality in themselves, and representing
phase of American history which, once sur
fered to fade from the canvas, can never Ut
restored. Let us have no more tax Oh the
impossibility of American novels II we nave

exclaims the Lord Hamlet and surely the
fortunate mobiles who witnessed the formal
abdication of Queen Isabella the other day,
and the assumption, so to speak, of the royal
dignity by the Prince of Asturias, must have
been awfully impressed with the truth of the
Danish Princes observation. The abdication
was accompanied with all possible ceremony.
The Queen dressed herself in rose-cOlored
silk, with abundant white lace, girdle of
diamonds, and a parure of pearls, and seating
herself in a "throne-room Cat the Hotel

signed the important document. Then the
brilliant and titled company kissed the hand
of the young Prince-or King in partibuS as
we sui pose he must now be called-in token
of acceptance of his sovereignty, The august
object of their homage, as soon as the cere-
mony was over, ran up to the Duke de Sesto,
exclaiming, "Come into the garden and look

He will be fortunate if he can always regard
his royal pretensions with the same philOsophic

Later information from the anthracite coal
region is to the effect that the contemplated
strike has not been ordered by the General
Council of the Miners Union, for the reason
that work is already suspended in all collieries
except such az have granted the demands of
the miners. There may be some doubt about
the actual state of affairs, but there can be
none as to the results of this constant irrita-
ton of an industry in which so many millions
are directly interested. Nothing but evil, to
both miners and consumers of coal, can come
from these annual strikes, whether partial or
general and the fact that there may not be
during the present year universal suspension
of mining, does not lesson the necessity for
the construction of the new coal railroad as
an outlet for Schuylkill. Until this is COM
pleted there must always be strikes, or rumors
of strikes, which are nearly as bad.

of no use to which they could be devoted as

the Government years ago to make the Chero-

The Tax and Tariff bill has been sent for
further compromises to a Committee OF Con-
ference-not to the Committee of Commerce,
as the Congressional reports in yesterdays
papers enormously stated. This wholesale and
secret disposition of all the measures of the
bill was resisted by the House on Saturday,
and a large number of the Senate amendments
of the Tariff sections were non-concurred In
The House has, unwisely, recOmmitted itself
to the renewal of the Income Tax in the mod
fled form proposed by the Senate, and has
even gone further and refused to limit 1t to
1872, the time during which it is to be en-
forced-if such an OdiOus impOst can be en-
forced after the expiration OF the period TO
which the people assented on the distinct I'M
derstanding that it should then cease forever.
There remains, therefore, no chance to defeat
the Income Tax but by the sacrifice OF the
whole Tax and Tariff bill. And this we hope
the Senate will do, as it has the power to do.
The bill has few virtues, and good many de-
fects-the single clause renewing the Income
Tax outweighing the advantages which the
remainder possesses.
Senator Cameron has explained that when
the second vote on the Income Tax was SNUG
gled through the Senate during his absence,
and that of Others whom we have named, he
was paired off" with Mr.. Sprague We are
glad that Mr.. Cameron has offered this, for the
way is thereby opened for the presentation of
the excuses of the others. We doubt if they
have as good apologies to offer for manifest
dereliction of duty. Let the Senators correct
their error as they may yet have the opportu-
nifty to do, on the return of the Tax and Tariff
bill from the House. Let them, when 1t again
comes, be in their places prepared to prevent,
by any legislation which offers, the humiliation
of the people by the further imposition of the
most offensive and demorahzing tax to which
they have ever been subjected

st. Louis goes at the social evil problem
boldly, though not in all respects wisely. 1t
has established a strict police surveillance of
the houses of ill-fame (such as we ought to
have, but have not, in this city, and Board
OF Health inspection for the inmates. Prac-
tically the ordinance, published elsewhere, is
a legalizatiOn of the horror, under the form of
an attempt to regulate it. Against the regu-
lation by law there would be little to urge,
if il were not that the consequent legalization
has baleful effects in giving the crime sort
of responsibility that it cannot otherwise have.
The danger of making gambling and prostitu-
ton ard such crimes in the remOtest degree
respectable we need not point out.

Assuming that the Commissioners of Chair
ties mean what they say on the sign-board
just placed on the building in the City Hall
Park, that institution is to be exclusively a
"hospital for the reception of sun-struck pa
TENTS" 1t is possible, however, that the in
stitution is intended to have a more extended
sphere of usefulness, and to receive all cases of
casualties from the lower wards. In that event
the new hospital, small as it is, will be of
great benefit to the lower part of the city,
which since the closing of the New-York Hos
pital has had no hospital accommodations.

The most alarming feature of the Chinese
question is that it threatens to excite an I'M
limited amount of speech-making. AS long as
this was confined to Presidents of Trades
Unions and Labor Organizations we had no
objections, but occupying the time of Senate
and House with talk and resolutions which
only reveal that Senators and Representatives
do not know their own minds and have no
opinions, not to say information, on the sub
iect, is a little too much for patience. Let the
CooIie question have time to settle itself peace
fully, as it will if let alone.

AMERICAN NOVELS.

The London Saturday Rerier, in summing up
the field of work covered by Dickens, cOmpla-
Gently remarks: "'Martin Chuzzlewit' left no
characters in America undescribed which are
susceptible of embodiment in felton, Surely
the critic has forgotten our typical young lady,
well known to all Englishmen, who always pre-
faces her remarks with "Du tell and who
when known to Mr.. Anthony Trolope in a
foreign Court where her father was Minister
habitually saluted her friends as "You ass"
but who afterward, so Mr.. Trollope tells us,
with good deal of naivete, married into the
"highest ranks of the British peerage, and
adorned her position by her manners.r We
assure the critic, also, that Jefferson Brick did
not exhaust the types of American editors
that the "New-York Key-hole Reporter and
"Back-door Listener" have lately appeared
under new forms, better fitted for circulation in
the higher classes. The "Mother of the Grac-
"chi," too, since Dickens was here, has forsaken
her natural babes, and adopted her sex. "For
ait" she tells us, "she suffers, she tolls. she
sis crucifed." She no longer pours forth her
deep truths in shuttle at the hotel table, but
in the rOstrum, or in brokers' or LAWYERS
office.
Seriously, nothing has cramped our writers
so much as such ludicrous criticism as that of
The Rerielc which only echoes that of this
country. We are perpetually told by our own
critics that an American novel is impossible.
That field of literature is closed to us, until
our social condition can be happily brought
into mold more nearly approximating to the
settled forms of the English. Now, the truth
is, there is no country in the world where indi-
vidual character is developed as freely among
circumstances as varying or dramatic as our
own. We have every nationality under heaven
interfused or repelling each other, every vari-
ETY. of religious creed, every possible back
ground of scenery, from Arctic SHOWS to tropi-
cal sands. Whether the work of the novel
writer be simply TO amuse or to present human

If the people of any State or Territory had
been robbed of their lands and banished from
their homes by the United States Government,
as the Usage Indians have been, according to
the brief but terrible narrative in our dis
patches, there would have been a rebellion,
and the Government would have found no
volunteers to suppress it. The treatment of
the Osages is one of the most gTievous wrongs
which a nation ever unwittingy committed,
and every consideration of right and justice
imperatively demands that this crying wrong
shall be instantly corrected. We are thankful
TO have an Administration which does not
hesitate to expose such infamous acts We
,hall be more thankful still if the Administra-
ton redrosseS promptly the wrongs thus laid
bare,

The official statement of the Outrages per-
oetrated in Cuba more than confirm what has
already been stated here of the inhumanity OF
fine Standards on that Island. Against this in
humanity the United States Government has,
il appears, frequently and strongly protested.
More it could not well have done, but the
protests have been in vain. 1t is not certain,
however, that all which might have been done
has been performed in protecting American
citizens in Cuba. The report contains

ceives its pay, not by decree of Congress, but
by the decision of the Second Controller of
the Treasury. The laws fixing the pay of the

odious taxes on the people that it entirely for
