OUR COUNTY PRISON ABUSES.

We have nothing TO do with the merits OF
the several cases of the Ludlow-st. Jail prls-
oners, who are to be heard before Judge Bar
nard to-day through tho Assistant District
Attorney, who is happily eagerly enlisted in
this reform. We shall be glad if all the inno-
cent abused ones are set free, and shall Icjolce
if there be general Jail delivery Of all op-
pressed but what TIE TRIBUNE hopes to soc
reformed, and what Judge Barnard, if he is
honest in his enthusiastic action, will strive
to bring about, ore the abuses Of Jarvis and
Tracey in the Sherii7s Office and the County Jail,
and, finally, the abolition of the law which de-
nies to man arrested for debt tho immediate
and full hearing that it gives to men accused
of crime. This souless fellow, Jarvis, in the
Sheriil's Office sells to lawyers and complain
ants the privilege Of having accused persons
arrested after the courts are closed, and late
OIL Saturday evenings, in order that they may
be frightened, by the idea Of Imprisonment
over night or Sunday, to pay the disputed or
false claim. That should be stopped Jarvis
and his deputy, Yard charge several times the
legal rates for every arrest and discharge they
make, and in the end take all they can get.
That should be stopped by an order compelling
them to display in their Offices and the Jail q
published list of their fees. Deputy SheIiffs,
from having once taken what rich prisoners
would grant them for attendance out OF prison,
in search of bail, have taken to demanding all
they can get. This should be reformed alto
gether and the Sheritf's deputies bo made to
understand that a man arrested for debt should
have every opportunity to collect his bail with
out expense.
The jail itself ought to he in the hands OF
honest and humane men. 1t Is Mt always prac-
ticable, we suppose, to hire philanthropistS for
jailers, but it is possible to employ men OF
some dcccncy and common honesty. And it is
incumbent on Sheriff Brennan 70 see that the
prison under his solo charge is not made
machine of horrors to force money from those
confined in it, At present it is nothing more
nor less than an inquisition, where the money
instead of the secrets of unfortunates Is
tortured out Of them. All this can be rene
edicd, and ought to be, either by the Sheriff
or by order of tho Court. Tho law, too, as
we have urged, is infamous, but this cannot
be remedied until we have decent Lcgisla-
ture once more Tho other remedies are ap-
plcablc Immediately, and to these we hope
the Judge and Sheriff and Dstrict-Attorney
will address themselves at once.

ton Of polygamy Is reaching settlement py
proper and effectual means. 1t is not PROB
able that existing family relations will be
much disturbed, though legitimate wives are
empowered to enforce their rights. For the
future, however, there can be no mistaking
the handwriting on the wall bigomy In Utah
will be treated just as biSSmy Is treated else
where.
But Of course if Brigham Young could per-
suado US to admit Utah as State, the case
would be changed. His hierarchy would re-
tain the dangefous political and social power
which we are now working to destroy. The
courts of the United States would have no
Jurisdiction over the class of offenses with
which Judge McKean is dealing so success
fully State laws would regulate marriage,
define the punishment for adultery, lascivious-
ness murder, and other commOn-law Offenses,
create courts, provide for the impaneling Of
iuries-in o word, place the entire administra-
ton of Justice in tho hands of the Mormon
Church, and enable tho Church even to de-
claro what Justice is. Young would become
moro absolute than over. The power which
he now usurps would be his by tho formal
sanction of law, and we could hardly unseat
him except by O violent invasion of the Con-
stisution. Ho can hardly expect the United
States to abdcate its authority over Terri
tory where nothing but the Federal protection
saves the people from an odous form OF des-
Dotism but if it is true that he has seriously
prOpOsed such an arrangement as the recent
rumors indicate, his envoy will haVo the jour-
ney to Washington for nothing.

The magnificent registration of
orer Sirty-EigAt Thousand Voters
on Neutrality-suspicious. thrice the
number registered during the two
days that tho books were open i'll
October - evinces a lively and
hearty public interest in the Elec-
ton of next Tuesday. A violent
rain throughout the morning doubt
less induced many to defer regis
tration not to decline or neglect it.
To-Day, the registries Of every
Election District throughout our
City are again open; Io-Morro,o,
they will finally close. We exhort
every voter not already registered
to attend to the matter THIS Morning
at all events, before the books
close this evening. Do not invoke
the chances Of putting off this duty
to the last moment. There arc still
some Fifty Thousand Voters un-
registered in our City. Can you
not forthwith see two or three OF
them, and urge them to register
To-Day? Verify your registra-
tions. 1t is rumored that many
Inspectors are registering names
on loose slips Of paper in pencil
which are never transferred in ink
to the proper books. See to it that
YOU are not thus defraudcd.

4 RIO THINE.

Major P. Il. Raiford of Houston, Texas, has
projected land.lOcked Ship Canal, or inland
navigable water way, from the Rio Grande
near it's mouth along the coast of Texas and
Louisiana to Brashear, thence across to the
Mississippi just above New-0deans, thence
into Lakes Pontchartrain and Borgne, and SO
across the bay of Mobile to st. Marks. thence
across Florida to the Okefenokee swamp and
down the st. Mary's river, thence up the
coast to Charleston, and as much further as
may be deemed advisable; keeping, for the
NEST part, just behind the outer line of sand
banks washed up by the waters of the Gulf
and the Ocean. passing through inlets, sounds
and bays, sometimes traversng marshes or

Everybody will agree that the change of Thanks
giving Day by Gov. Hoffman from Nov. % to Nov.
SO-the date of the National Thanksgiving-was de-
srabe; but it is a little unfortunate that there
should have been any misunderstanding between
tho Governor and the President which resulted in
the proclamation of two different days. 1t seems
that Gov. Hoffmans private secretary asked in ad-
vance for the date Of the expected proclama-
ton Of President Grant, and was informed
that it would be issued for the last Thursday in
November This would be for Nov. 30 and when
the Governor, shortly after fixed on Nov. % the
State Thanksgiving Day, there was some confusion,
and an impression went forth that the Governor,
anticipating tho Presidents action, had purposely
chosen different day. 1t is evident, however that
an error was made in the Governors Office, the date
being misunderstood. That error is corrected, and
the State and the Nation will be thankful together
on Thursday, Nov. so.

We do not know why people should regard the say
ings of Louis Napoleon Bonaparte Gs Of any import
ance unless indeed they may be interpreted by the
rule Of contraries. Whom he declares that he in
tends descent upon France, no effort to recover
lis crown, we can but remember that years ago he
vowed fealty to the Republic and swore before God
to maintain it, Like his putative uncle, the has
idea of the truth; that is by strange psyche
logical infrmty, or perhaps we should say idiosyn-
cracy, he seems to regard that rs true which ho
wishes to have believed. We begin to think that
he must have some Greek blood in him after ALL
since he displays much of the mondacity of the
Lower Empire. Perhaps mendacity is not the exact
word by which to express his astute expedents He
cannot be said to tell lies BECAUSE through his odd
moral constitution, truth and falschood are to him
all the same, if they but serve his purpose and 1t
may be said Of his actions that be esteems that to
be right which advances, that to be which re-
tards, the consummatOn of his schemes. There arc
millions of men like him in tho world only they are
not x-Emperors.

DR.. Kidwell, President of the Seneca Stone
Company, disabuses the general public Of the
notion that President Grant has retreated in
good order from the stock-books Of the cor
poration, or that the President accepted his
shares as gift. Gen. Grant bought and paid
tor his stock, as he has an undoubted right to
70 do, like any other private individual. The
mischief-loving gossips have circulated all
Iorts of insinuations about this small bust
ness, but the President keeps his shares and
Is not necessarily connected with any of the
Government speculations in stone.

The great meeting at the Cooper Institute
last night was ample evidence ct the deep
hold which the Reform movement has on tho
citizens of New-York. More than this, we hope
it is an earnest of the lofty purpose of those
citizens to redeem the City at the polls on
Tuesday next. Tammany was once moro set
forth in all its damning colors, and Tammany
once mere, by it's poor blind creatures,
tried to break up one of the wings of the
meeting by abuse and attack. But
the demonstration was great sue
cess, both in numbers aud spirit
The Report of the Committee of Seventy and
the Address authorized by them did not pre-
sent any new facts but gave an admirable
review of the campaign and its results. The
statement of the political part of the Com
mittee work-the nominations-was in large
part acceptable to the friends of Reform,
though some unwise and sOmo untrue things
are said, and the general impression was one
of confidence in the zeal and honesty of the
Committee. But talk will not win the fight
Register to-day; and vote just once, and very
early, next Tuesday morning!

Repeaters will find matter of interest in
the Court record. The jury did not agree in
the case of Petit and Lazarus, yesterday,
but enough facts were brought out in the
trial to rouse public attention to the frauds
which are committed on the rights of voters.
These men, who are fuglemen of the Tam
many gang, were indicted for having regis
tered in more than one election district and
for them was set up the defense that
their names were not entered on the book, but
on loose SheetS'of paper, which Is not registry.
This was virtual confession of the crime but
as one of these men has been one OF the
Tammany General Committee, and another
has had Tammany Office, they are presumed
TO have had friends on the jury and so escaped
conviction. though District ATTORNEY Garvin and

From the South we continue to have somo
Ku-Klux echoes. The Congress Committee III
Georgia have satisfactorily ascertained the
fact that over two thousand persons have
been driven into Atlanta from the outlying
country. From South Carolina we learn that
the military authorities in the counties where
tho privileges of the writ of habeaS corpus
have been suspended have had no re-
sistance in making arrests, and none
have been made in tho nighttime.
So the imaginary terrors of martial
claw" disappear before the actual truth.
1t is to be hoped that the example made of
the Ku-Klux in this State will have whole
some influence upon those in Georgia; other
wise the same measures may be used for their
suppression. Meantime, the conservative"
Marylanders, who retain lively interest in
the Lost Cause, have been uttering wild cries
of protest against "the wicked war now waged
"against liberty and law" 1t is curious that
the irate Marylanders have waited until some
of their own friends were in trouble before
finding out that there is war somewhere.

pOT AND KETTLE,

Gen. Samuel F. Cary, having helped the
Democrats of Ohio to Waterloo defeat, has
como to our City to perform the same whole
some service for our Ring Democracy. His
first essay was mado at meeting OF Senator
Bradleys supporters on Fifteenth-st., where
the admiring Star reports blm as follows:
"Gen Cary opened his address by urging all true DEM
oeras to stand by their Nominees anG snpp1rt te egn
for the Republican party TO get up hue and cry about
tho alleged frauds committed by certain City OH ials
%e& @ & sfsS 1e TndstS 's and g e ] so ssa o
Ge Southern States by Repubtican oDeids"
THUS, you see, one set Of official thieves
ought to 60 scot-free, according to Gen.
Cary, because another gang has stolen still
larger amount. But the latter rcpel the as
sumption that they have stolen most; and so
the game of battedore and shutilecock may
go on to all eternity.
The TRIBUNE exhOrts tho people not to
screen any gang of thieves from the just pun
iShment of their crimes because Of the larger
or smaller theft of any other gang whatever.
If the thieving carpet-baggers have stolen
anything expose, rebuke and punish them.
If the Tammany Ring and it's satellites have
stolen, serve them exactly that way. Let nei-
ther Republican nor Democratic thieves escape
righteous retributiou because of the rascali-
ties, real or pretended, of the opposite party,
but thrash the thieves already within reach,
and then 60 for the next lot.
We urge the Democratic members of Con-
gress to move inquiries into any discovered or
suspected embezzlement, peculation, or defal-
cation, which has occurred since the Repub-
lcans have been in power. If we cannot abide
such scrutiny let US 90 under! Can for the
facts, gentlemenl and see if we are not as ready
to punish Republican as Democratic thieves

The vice of the theory of British Free Trade
is that it makes Traffic the substance of
national economy and Production only its
accessory-that it subordinates the creation of
wealth to the interchange of it. Free Trade
is not product of science. 1t Is an invention
of merchants, capitalists, and statesmen COM
PEELED to make markets for the surplus manu-
factures of Great Britain. That country had
got to sell. 1t devised Free Trade to induce
other nations to buy. And it hired and sub
sidized agents in the foremost countries Of the
world to teach the impudent paradox that
nations set rich by trade instead of by labor.
