CRIME.

In almost every portion of the United
States, in the last month crime was never
more frequent and reckless in violence
nor did it ever present such sickening and
appalling details. In New York, the
head-centre of wickedness and vice, for
one week, the horrors of each day was for
gotten in the shocking supplement of the
following. Neighboring States and cities
did not fail to add deeds of bl%oodshed,
murder, suicide etc., to the swelling roll
of hideous enormities. The dog days of
August memorized their period in the
most frightful slaughter ever recorded in
the columns of the press. The contem-
plation of the future, from this point of
view, is CHASTITY. 1t seems that all moral
and religious influences must yield to this
fierce and deadly sweep of hellish passion ;
that the College, Church and all the in
strumentalities of civilization and social
and christian refinement will be swept
away by this %inundation of crime. When
all classes, the high and low, rich and
poor, the respectable and disrespectable,
seem to have entered into a compact of ex-
termination, it i'll becomes the people of
glorious and enlightened America to de-
nounce the atrocities of the Paris Com
mune.

Protection to Life and Limb.
Sept. 81, 1871.

When Jacob Vanderbilt, President of
the Staten Island Ferry Company, was ar
rested for manslaughter and sent to the
Tombs, though only on the action of the
C~oroner's jury, the public sense of justice
was gratifed. and a more healthy tone was
at once given to the public confidence.
Jacob Vanderbilt in Jail was an inspirit-
ing spectacle, under the circumstances,
not because he was an influential man
who had peer suddenly Inundated. nor a
rich man who found that his riches could
not keep him out of the house of deten-
ton, but it was an earnest of the ability
and determination of law officers to find
who was responsible for loss of life and
limb by travelers.and to punish the guilty
parties. And now that Mr.. Vanderbilt
and his associates have been indicted for
~manslaughters By the Grand Jury, we
have taken another decisive step in the
right direction. Certainly we are getting
on bravely toward a fair understanding of
the rights of the often-propounded prob
lem. Who is responsible? A
1t is a cruel commentary on the inhu-
mainly of man to man that we cumber
the statute books and beseige the courts
to mulct in full amount of damages those
who destroy our property by negligence
or false economy, while we permit slayers
of passengers by sea and land to go scot
free by dividing the responsibility among
their employees and 'the visitation of God
During the month of August, by six of
these accidents there were about One
Hundred and Seventy persons killed in
the United States, to say nothing of minor
disasters, which put only a score or so out
of life. This CORY chapter in our nation
al history has its obvious lesson, and it
will not have been an unmixed evil, if
from it shall arise a wholesome legislation
and a determined enforcement of the laws
which shall adequately protect the life and
limb of such as trust themselves to steam
vessels and railroad trains. The indict-
ment of Vanderbilt. BREASTED, and Robin
son means that the era of responsibility
has passed, and men who undertake to
carry passengers shall safely deliver them
the ordinary perils of the sea duly allowed
or suffer all the consequences.-NeU York

NEW York, Sept. 1s.-Comptroller
Connolly having appointed a deputy to
exercise Connelly's functions, Mayor Hall
constituting this action as a virtual resigna-
ton, appoints General Mcclellan, Comp
%troller. Mcclellan has not yet accepted
the post, but waits Connelly's action under
the Mayors dismissal,
Mayor Hall wrote Connolly that he re.
cognizes neither him nor his deputy, Green,
as Comptroller, meantime, Connolly and
Green have assurances of potent support.
Green, the new Deputy Comptroller,
appointed by Connolly, has delivered all
the documents necessary to an investiga-
ton. to the Committee.
Comptroller Connolly, writes Mayor
Hall in response to the letter of dismissal,
that he has not either in fact or equivalent
resigned the Comptrollers Office. The
excitement is intense. Vast crowds are
around the city and country offices. The
Commercial says: Mcclellan has accepted
the Comptrollership. He will proceed te
the Comptroller's office and demand pos.
session, which if refused. Mcclellan will
apply to the Courts for an order giving
him possession.

tors of the torpedo establishment RESPONSE.

The Hammontrec Tragedy in
LOUSiOn. -

We learned, yesterday, from citizens of
Loudon county, now in the city, the fol-
lowing particulars and rumors concerning
the shooting of John NJ. Hammontree,
two miles from Morganton, a few days
since, by James Smith, as alleged Smith
resides eight miles from Morganton on the
Tellico River and is engaged in distilling.
He was in Morganton ON the day of the
shooting, for the purpose of disposinS OF
some of his liquors. During the day
Smith and Hammontree, both men being
considerably intoxicated, went out togeth-
-er about two miles through the field.
Smith. noticing a squirrel. asked if he
should shoot at it. Hammontree replied
he could do as he pleased. Smith fred
and missed. He then fred again and the
squirrel was again missed but Hammontree
was shot. The men both declare the
shooting was entirely accidental, and sup
posed to have been caused by the intoxi-
cation of Smith. The ball passed through
the left lung, entering at the right nipple.
Hammontree was conveyed to his residence
and died, after intense suffering for thirty
eight hours.
1t was generally believed in the COM
munity where the tragedy occurred, that
the two men had been engaged in a drunk
en- quarrel, and had agreed to settle their
difficulty with the pistols which each car
ried. Persons who were in the vicinity of
the shooting, report that four shots were
fired in rapid succession. and on arriving
at the scene and examining the pistols OF
both men. they found that two shots had
been fred from both Smiths pistol and
Hammontree's weapon. Smith was ar
rested upon the charge of shooting Ham
montree, but released upon the dying
statement of Hammontree, which corrob-
grated the squirrel story as told by Smith.

THE LOGIC OF THE RECENT
n ELECTIONS.

The results of the Name election cor
respond with the returns from North Caro-
lima, California. Wyoming. Montana, and
Kentucky. In the latter State though
unsuccessful, the Republicans made an
enormous gain of white votes, in spite OF
Democratic prescription and brow-beating,
whilst they commanded the colored ele-
ment with almost entire unanimity. In
the other elections referred to, largely in
creased majorities have heightened the eff
feet of Republican triumph. The moral
of these political events is, that after the
principles and policy of the Republican
party have undergone the test of a fully
expressed popular feeling, the administra-
ton of President Grant has been une-
auivocally endorsed. The Pacific Coast,
the Atlantic Seaboard, as well as the
States of the interior, through the unmis-
taxable voice of these elections have ex-
pressed q strong desire for the bestowal
of another term of Presidential honors up
on OeneTal OTanG. Iuc Cldto OlCOIioH',
soon to occur in Ohio and Pennsylvania,
will, doubtless, afford additional evidences
of the Presidents popularity and strength,
and settle his denomination beyond all
question and doubt.
The combination against the President,
within the pale of his own party, is for
midable in intelligence, prestige, standing
and hostile inventions, but the popular ex-
pressions, SO far, are very disparaging
-iticisms on their schismatic conduct and
sulongly indicate that, with all their ma
licious and selfish opposition, they will be
unable to divert the party from its settled
purpose, the reelection of Grant in ~.
Greeley and Fenton lead the opposition
in New York. Sumner in Massachusetts,,
Trumbull in Illinois, and Gratz Brown
and Carl Schurz in Missouri. Every one
of these fierce adversar1es of the Presi-
dent are prospective candidates for the
white House, except Senator Schurz
VINO Is Ou dCCOuuI IL liz Nv
ty. But no one of this combination has
intimated that he will deny President
Grant his earnest and warm support in the
event of denomination and in fact, Greeley,
who seems to be chief among the disaf-
fected and the strongest and most ambi-
tious a%spirant for the succession, has re-
peatedly pledged himself to abide by the
action of the Nominating Convention. 1t
is more than probable that the recent
manifestations of the popular feeling will
have the effect of disrupting the present
opposition, and General Grant commend
ed by his success in effecting the peace
Treaty with Great Britain, restoring do
nestle tranquility and prosperity and the
rapid reduction of the War Debt, without
hanpering the industrial interests of the
country, will meet no internal obstacles
in the attainment of his known ambition
for q second term.

BE CAREFUL.-In these days, when
tight hats, hot air, and sedentary occupa-
tioDs, cause the hair to fall out, it is a
matter of no little Importance to know
which of the hair preparations are of any
value. The majority, as has been fire.
quently proved by the first dermatologists,
or hair-doctors, possess little or no merit.
Such being the fact, it is consoling to
those who are afflicted to known there is
really one good article, which is recon-
mended and used by the first medical
authority, and has stood every test, many
years. This preparation is Halls VEGE-
TABLE SICILAN HAIR REVIEWER.
"a truly scientific compound, which is
unquestionably the best preparation of the
kind now before the American public.
1t will restore to gray hair its original
color, cleanse the head thoroughly. cure
all eruption of the scalp and will always
restore the hair so long as any germs re-
main. as they almost invariably do, until
extreme old age has destroyed the roots.
