uon, which owes what the Bee considers
Its Iameness to its conscientiousness

bilious opponent has invented weak
nesses. Choosing the honest plan, which
is usually conceded to be the best, we
confessed that the police was not perfect:

A notorious burglar in New York, William
Healy, was shot by a trap gun in the
manutactory Of Mr.. George Parker last
week. The gun was Of the 'blunderbuss'
pattern-an old musl1et cut of. This
weapon was placed at tie end of long
table, upon which the manufactured stock
of the foundry was stored, its nuzzle
pointing along the side OF the table. A
string was attached to the trigger, and,
running over a pully, extended along the
edge OF the table. The burglar, 10y stand
ing at the table, disturbed the string, and
discharged the load into his body. The
jury, after hearing all the evidence, exon.
Grated Mr. Parker from all blame.

but we hope that our representation Of
its merits was such as to convince all rea'
sonable-minded men that it is better than
any of its predecessors have been, how
ever they were selected # such has been
the effect of our endeavors, that satisfies
the occasion, for we had no hope or ex-
pectation Of softening the animosity OF
the Bee or Of converting it even to that
rational state of mind which would make
its enmity powerful enough to be dam
| gerous.
When, We ask, was there ever time
that thieves and cut-throats did not
stalk the streets Of New Orleans, and as
for that every other city? London
swarnls with them; Paris nurses such an
army OF desperate villains that even the
government itself is in danger from their
violence; Liverpool sickens beneath the
intiiction of crowd of robbers that are
continually going in and coming cut of
prison; st. Louis, Chicago, Cincinnati,
Louisville and Memphis are worse off
than New Orleans, or else they belle them
selves, and San Francisco again threatens
to purify herself by means Of a vigilance
committee? Gentlemen who travelled
this summer give it as a part Of their ex-
perience that they felt greater insecurity
in ali the Northern cities about their
pocketbooks than they ever felt at home,
and especially was this the case in Balti
more and New York, where the Demo-
Gratis are in full control OF the police in
all its departments. We submit: this COM
paratlye statement to the public as the
most conclusive argument that can be
made III this matter. It is true, and We
confess it with regret, that there are men |
on the police who might be exchanged |
tor better men, but the question is, might
not any change which might be attempt
7d result III securing worse policeman?
As to securing body Of five hundred
able, Intelligent citizens to act as officers
II the city who would take no interest in
politics, that is an impossibility: and the
demand Of the Bee is made, not TO secure
uch result, but to obtain men who will
mink with the Bee, and not like intelI-
,ent men.
That bad men walk the streets against
ne interests Of society is due also in
he greatest measure 70 the Democratic
ldges, who turn them out when they are
rrested and imprisoned BY the authori
les; to the juries who refuse 70 convict.

knowing these things to he as We have
represented. and feeling that they are sub
versive Of the public interest, can we do a
better service to the country or to the
Republican party than to demand that
the reform which has been begun in Wash
lngton shall extend to Louisiana? Con-
gress is the fountain Of power in institut-
ing inquiry, and when We directly indict
its agents upon specific counts, wha. ex-
cuse can it enter here, even fit was so in
clined, to forego investigation: We say
| in SO many words, that G. ". Carter,
who holds an inspectors position in the
Customhouse, is also chief editor Of daily
newspaper, member of the Legislature,
supervisor Of accounts and vouchers
against the contingent fund of the House
Of Representatives. Any reasonable Liam
knows that the holder Of these latter posi-
tons, which are the props Of his greatest
ambition, and therefore foremost in Lis
thoughts, can not give attention to his fede-
raj employment It's not in the nature of
things that these multiplied duties can
be performed by one and the same man.
We say that J. r. G. Pitkin, appraiser
to the government and hair-dresser to
himself depends his official duties upon
his deputies, and devotes his cratic
talents to parting his locks, perpetrating
jokes, and pl2guing the nluses with as
saults upon Mount Parnassus, five several
occupations that are as incompatible |
with each other and with anything like
fidelity to the government as sugar and |
salt. We say that W. H. Toy, in his d.

They meet the very point made by the
inquiry Of the Senate, HAS the revenue
department. been used for political pur-
'oses:" for these men devote their
lme and draw their pay for political
ervices, and for these alone. These are
acts that are notorious. Either Congress,
hen, has instituted useless investiga- {
on, orit will have to abate the evil Which ,
e have explained to its attention. :

nal trials. This gentleman is legal inven-
ton that owes its origin to the feudal
ages, when the poor were awarded this
right in all controversies between the
lord and the serf. It was farce then, as
it is now, because the lord, where he was
specially interested, generally had the
judgment to suit himself A weak jury
man is about the spooniest representative
of justice that we can imagine, for he is
swayed by as many conflicting emotions,
under the hands Of an adroit lawyer, as
ever the hen was that Matched out ducks
| With a weak witness and an emotional
| juryman, the saying is ajust one, that the
| verdict Of petit jury is about as hard to
determine as to where the lightning will
strike next.
AS an Illustration, man named Nc
Geehan shot another man named Meyers
in a gambling saloon in Cincinnati, last
Christmas night, in the presence of six
teen men. Both parties had their friends
about them, difficulty was anticipated,
the provocation open, the shooting imnle-
date. Mr.. Mcclellan was arrested, tried
and found guilty. He moved for a new
trial and chaLge Of venue, which he OBJ
tanned When being tried again, he was
acquitted. There was but one man, and |
he penitentiary convict, who had any
loea who shot Meyers He swore that |
Mcdeehan delivered the fatal wound, and |
yet two JUrles came to two different con-
ciusions about the facts. The community
in which Mcclellan lives has given him
notice that he must move his domici!e-
they want no such man in their midst.
What ought this embryo vi GLANCE com
mttee to do as concerning the ignorant
witnesses and the relenting jurors?
This evil prevails in every direction.
We OF Louisiana are not alone the SUI
ferers from incapable or unwilling jurors
but all communities that have committed
the inter- rotation Of the law and the de-
cision Of facts to body Of men who
served a tolerably fair purpose when the
hing was new, are suffering from the
same evil. The jury system is costly, it
$ worn out, it is inefficient, it is the enc
ny Of society and should be abolished.
The Cincinnati case is one Of the plainest
evidences that it is wholly unreliable.
