The escape of Charles Moore, tie emlgraht
robber, from the clutches which Justice once iiad
ON him is disgrace to the Police, the District
Attorney, and the Judges. They have virtually
been parties to the compounding of an infamous
felony, and must expect to be held Responsible
for the crime. Moore was not prosecuted Dy
the District Attorney at all; he made no earn
eat effort to convict him, rs in the cases OF MS
fellow criminals. The Police permitted him TO
escape, and though it is morally certain that
the Detectives knew where he was. no effort
was made by them to arrest him. Finally,
when his frightened bondsman compelled
MOOre's return, Judges Cardozo and In
graham consented to trick OF the law Dy
which the only witness against the thief was
spirited out of the city. Now this man Moore
is yet to go through the form Of trial before
Recorder Hackett OF Judge Bedford. we urge
that neither of these Judges shall make HIM
self a party to this infamous transaction by
which Justice is cheated, but that they shall
insist that the delinquent District-Attorney
shall make all effort to secure the return OF
the witness Kcrnach. Let Moore be kept in
prison at least as long as his victim was de-
tanned while efforts are making to secure the
evidence which his friends have sent out OF
the way. KOrnach, we understand, has gone
to Indiana or Illinois; we shall be obliged for
any information of his new address, with the
view of securing his return to prosecute this
dangerous criminal.

Ono of the most gxestive contributions yet made
to the discussion. now in progress as to the proper
method Of governing NewYork, was tho article in
The North american Reriew for October, by Mr.
Charles Nordhoff. 1t has just been reprinted in
pamphlet form by tho American News Company and
its suggestions throw such flood of light upon the
theory. now apparently most likely to receive the
nsxt trial that it deserves wide circulation among
all who are giving thought to the subject and
particularly among all who may be called on in any
way to shape decision. Briefly, Mr.. NOrdhOff in
slsts that the people of NewYork should be left to
govern themselves, and that they should be aided to
this end by having system prepared which would
vest power mainly in the hands of the Mayor and
Common Council. the Mayor being thus held respon-
sibls by the constituents, who at the end Of
the year would pass upon his administration for the
character of all his appointments. and the result of
his work as Chief Executive, while the Councilmen
would be held responsible in like manner for their
discharge of legislative duties. Mr.. NOrdhoff be-
lsves the main trouble OF present system to be
that while the people really want to be honestly
governed. they are 80 bewildered by the multitude
Of officers to be elected and the division of response
bitv that they unable to decide who is at fault
or to vote in such way as to secure reform.

A new lobby has appeared in Washington.
There is already a great army of these infiu-
cnccs, but this one has no less than the re-
nrn Of hundred million dollars OF cotton
tax for it's object. One hundred million dol
lars is Q good deal of money to divide among
weak brethren and sharp operators; but, un
less the cotton tax lobby has some better
reason for getting its money than the argu-
mept that the tax was unconstitutional be.
"cause it fell upon one section Of the cOan.

We have not been exerting ourselves to any re-
markable extent to secure the election Of anybody
to the Clcrkshp Of our State Senate. But when we
casually mention that Mr.. William G. Weed is can
didate, but will not probably stand frst-rate
chance of election, because he has not been in Office
ever since he was old enough to hold one We seem
to have struck sensitive chord and the supporters
of Mr.. Terwilliger Of the Custom House make such
a disturbance that it would seem that they regard
the innocent remark as personal Well. we only
know Of Mr.. Weed that he was Chairman of tho
Albany Republican Committee in the JohusOn times,
and that he has never got forgiveness for it from
those who then deserted the party and are
now viciously swapping at his heels; that in the
campaign conducted by his Committee the Repub-
licans made the best showing there they have had
for many year; that be was tho unopposed cand-
date of his party for Clerk of the House last year,
and that he hss the support Of The albany Evening
Journal and other court organs But perhaps he
ia MT good for the place. Certainly he does nj
enjoy the qualification Of having been in office all
his lifc--which original Observ alton, and
which We are bold to maintain.

Let New-YOrk take courage Official corruption ia
not exclusively allocal affcton it has appeared in
China, where it has already manifested violent
symptoms. An Onerous tax in the province of Chill
was remitted by an Imperial edict, on ac-
count of the poverty of tho people. who
had been harassed BY rebel raids. The sub
official disregarded the order: those who
demonstrated were shamefully handled aud ono of
them, who now petitions the Throne. says that he
was locked in cage given joO blows with the large
bamboo and 2lO with the small bamboo mulcted
in several fines, and otherwise oppressed. A
curious item of the sxtortions practiced
on one of tho recalcitrant Taxpayers was
compelling him to pay $63 for eating
house bill for his torneutors. In New-York the
bill would not have been 10 modest and would have
been charged as stationery or hack-hire" 1t ia
some satisfaction to know that the Imperial
brought all the facts before the Brother Of tho Sun

MEEMH, June 2Sth, 1871.

SPECIAL Correspondence OF iHE iiL"1.
MEEME, June 18th, 1871.
En-. PILoT:-The busy season is rapidly
approaching and all is hustle and activity
Mowers are being set up, and farmers are
becoming disputatious as to their relative
merits, each contending in favor Of his own.
Owing to the various kinds Of machinery
farming now is comparatively easy. If
some Rip Van Wrinkle who had accoapan-
led the pioneers of this town was 70 wake
op now he would be unable t. recognize
che place on which his eyes last rested,
and would be surprised at the change
wrought By the perseverance and energy Of
the early settlers The 'howling wilder
ness is con1ertad into productive farms;
the primitive cabins" have given place to
sukstabtial frame houses; for the weariSome
reaping hook is substituted the reaper, and
oil things betokcn great advance Of
prosperity. The indomitable perseverance
displayed by the early settlers in contend
ing with, and overcoming apparently in
surmouutGble difficulties, is deserving Of all
praise. They were rot cGs: down while in
adversely; it only drew out their wonderful
powers which were latent. Prosperity
produces changes in men; habits change
with conditions Of life. Ayarice is congcr-
ital with prosperity. There may be some
whom prosperity are unable to change, but
those are exceptional cases and do not dis
prove the general rule. Pride, cupidity-
oil those evils which are concomitants Of
wealth follow upon the acquisition, chill
and rerrcss the noble impulses of the soul
and the srontancity Of life, and leave its
Ios.cssor TOTALLY devoid Of all those noble
attributes which make a man. The old
Spartan law-makcr saw the evils which
are inseparably attendant upon wealth
when he instituted his ZION money and
mndc an equal division Of property. Other
changes hot very salutarv in their MIXTURE
have taken place, changes which to those
who have spent their youthful DAYS amid
thosc carly scenes, are not calculated TO
produce very pieasurabie emotions. The
old haunts Of children, cnlivcned ~ the
merry laughter cmanatiny from gli.lce~s
souls, are deserted for the resorts If men
OF bacchanalian procIiYitics,w where drunken
ness and debauchery reign supreme. In lieu
OF the old swing far IN the cool woods
where the youthful Were wont to conrre-
gate, the card table hells 70 rsh its at
traction All innocent youthfu sports are
abandoned and III their stead are sub,ti-
sutod those which area profit ; source Of
vice
Those are some Of the Evils which an adj
Sanced state OF civilization inva -iablv produ-
ccs; riches and yi,p are its characteristic
features. JFENFS
