A correspondent Of tho New York Horld writes
to tha: paper, suggesting an amendment to the
statutes, which shall compel every person who
murders another in New York to inter his victim
at his OWL expense, aud to cause an obituary
notice to be inserted in at least two daily papers
at his own proper cost and charges. The corro-
epondent thinks that those who arc kindly per-
mittcd to remove from their vicinity those who
have rendered themselves in any way Disagree
able to them, will nct object to this
slight recognition Of their privileges.
It would eaem as ii murdered men ought to
have this much respect shown them by their
murderere, inasmuch as they hare no other
rights which the murderers are compelled to
recognize. When this reform takes eject, the

General o. Q. Howard has indorEed Senator
Pomcroy as "pure and simplo in private life
strictly temperate in everything, with c pleasant
little family around him, regular attendant at
church, man Of prayer always leaning on the
mighty arm Of strength, full CT Kindness to

Pomeroy has never swindled the Government
or the Pottawatonio Indians. Being u man Of
prayer, and always leaning on the mighty arm
OF strength, he could never have pockcted
tho Chiriqui Colonization Fund. Now let
.Pomeroy do good turn for Gen
eral Howard. Tho latter handed over
quarter Of million dollars OF the Freedmen's
Bureau funds to missionary society Of which
his nephew was q prominent officer. There was
no secret about it, to be suro but the existence
OF other missionary societies was so coouy

from. Without his authority the police have not
7@atured to disturb Ills property, notwith=tand-
ing the Leartronding appeals Of relatives and

last, determined to moro in tho matter, say
ing that no red tape ought to interfere with SO
plain duty. Thousands Of buildings arc said
by the Superintendent Of Buildings to be in

their death to niggardlinesa or carelcssness,

were killed, and forty or fifty more seriously
wounded 1t WAS not the builders fault, how
ever, that the deaths were so fow. Preparations
had been made for O much moro sanguinary
affair. The lamps were upset, and the burn
ing oil ignitod the woodwork with all the
facilities for fully carrying out the work
OF destruction that had bccn 30 we'll
begun. No adequate means Of escape had
been provided for a panic-strickon crowd
The " accident" is explained by saying that the
weight of those assembled had sprung tho truss
bearers, md the supports slipped out of their
places. It would be better explanation to say
that the law Of gravitation caused the people to
descend in too rapid a manner.
Tho destruction Of DR.. Talmago's Tabernacle
in Brooklyn, and Of the odifce occupied b3 Bar
quoted in support of the proposition that incom-
potent architects and builders come under the
head OF the dangerous classes OF large cities,
and should bo 80 recognized by the authorities.
Both these structures had been erected with the
express purpose Of attracting and eccommo-
dating unusually large crowds Of people. That
these crowds we're not actually present
at the time OF the fires WAS simply
fortuitous. 4 few hours later, or
few hours earlier, would have
overtaken them, and brought about 3 loss Of
human life, in comparison with which the WILL
Transport slaughter would have appeared insig-
nifcant. Yet both the Tabernacle and the
Museum had been deliberately constructed after
fashion thai would have been condemned by
every competent r-.chitect in the world. The
material was mainly OF wood, so distributed as
almost to necessitate ignition upon the applica-
ton Of match, and to assure total destruction
as soon as ignited. Yet, so far from condemn
ing the men who are responsible for architecture
Of this description, the rebuilding Of the Taber-
nacle on the same plan is deliberately discussed.
We would euggest, if this is to be done, that the
architect and builder Of the Baptist church at
Wil1iamsport be also called in to supply their
method OF constructing floors. There is no use
in doing things halfway.

THE CREDIT MoBl1ER INVESTIGATION.
The secret investigation OF the Credit Mobiicr
scandal has gone far enough to establish certain
facts, beyond any possibility Of question, aud
these facts may bo grouped into tbree classes,
as follows:
l. 1t is established that three dividends we're
paid by tho Credit Mooilier, either in cash or &C.
curitics Of tho Union Pacific Railroad, between
tho time when Congressman received tho stock
from Oakcs Amos md the time when they re-
fused to take it, or handed it back Some OF
these Congressman took the dividends and
some did not Most of them had the matter
under adrlsemcnt for seven or eight months
before they could satisfy their conBciencos IS to
the moral bearing OF tho transaction, showing
that the average Congressional perception of
right and wrong is much slower than molasses
in January.
2. It is established that the 1nodus operondi Of
manipulating Credit Mobilicr stock for Congress-
men WAS for 0akes A1aes to hold it as Trustee,
and pay the dividends as they accrued. After
rumors came in circulation that Congressman we're
holding this stock, they surrendered it to Ames.
When Ames sought to ensnaro g Congressman
by Offering him this stock at par, he referred him
to Alley, whereupon Alley, Of course, vouched
for Amos. This fact, which has been clearly es-
tablishea, makes another fact equally clear,
which involves the guilt OF these Congressman
If they had made fair and squa1 business
transaction, like honest people, they would
havo acted like honest people, taken the
stock into thoir own hands, and held it them
selves, instead Of having 0akes Ames hold it as
O trustee. II it had been fair and square busi-
ness tranBaction they would not have sought to

Prominent among tho dangerous c1asses Of
large communities arc architects and builders
who do not understand their business. Their
claims to consideration ars often ignored We
mako laws to protect people against burglars
and garrotcrs. We sometimes require that
physicians shall have their diplomas bofora they
take human life. No have even cauvassed the
required that druggists shall not deal out
medicines until they hayo acquired suf-
fcicnt knowledge to tell pzusaic acid from
jalap. All those laws and popular
Every individual case OF malpractice on the part
Of physcians, or fatal mistakes on tho part Of
druggists, calls forth . torront OF public indig-
nation, aud new demand for greater strlnGen-
cy OF the laws. The crime OF demonstrating is not
permitted to so unpunishcd in those commune
ties where the lar or its executives are inopera-
tive, for vigilance committees take their place.
There is but one class OF people who enjoy d
complete immunity from punishment the in
competent architects and bu:ldars.
We havo plenty Of illustrations OF this Curl
GUS exception to the rule Of punishment for
murder, but not always Of so striking charac-
ter as that afforded by the slaughter Of the H.
nocents At Williamsport, Pa, on Christmas
evening. There WAS holiday gathering Of the
Sabbath-Schoo1ch children in Baptist church, held
in sn upper hall Of the church building, eyi-
IDENTIFY provided for the use OF assemblages Of
this kind. It is said that 800 persons were pres
ent. The number is probably exaggerated, as is
usual in cases of this kind. OF the entire num-
Der present. it is safe to estimate that two
thirds we're children. The aggregate weight OF
tho persons assembled did not, in al
probability, exceed that OF $50 adults
Of average size. This gathering wae
in hall, 2614o feet, expressly built for holding
large number Of people. With the peculia,
ingenuity possessed By architects who do not
know their business, the flooring had been con
st1ucted SO as to admit the crowd, allow every
body to get comfortably settled, and hare tht
interest in the exercises fully inaugurated. The1

ing the negotiations for the safe OF the country
to the United States. This is the condition OF
San Domingo at this time, and, while it is clear
TINT annexation to tho United States, as an ad-
ditional State Of the Union, would be beneficial
to these ignorant and degraded blacks
how can it be beneficial to the 49, 100000 Of peo-
pie now in this country7 We can imagine how
the carpet-bagsers who have plundorol North
Carolina, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Louis
lana, and other States might for d season find
some pc!Sinss in San Domingo, and could haze
themselves pensioned as Senators and Rep1esen-
tativos, aud Custom House officers, but beyond
these who would be benefted7 These negroes
are not like our OWL They do not speak our
language, have no acquaintance With our
laws, customs or habits; not man in the coun-
try except the Chiefs, probably, has the remotest
knowledge as to whero the United States are
to be found On map, or even what map
is. They know nothing OF laws or
constitutions; they only know that Baez is boss,
whenever Cabrl is not, and that political
science consists in determining which Of these

therefore, the most fitted to be Chief Have
we not enough of trouble at home On this ques-
ton Of race ? Is not the colored population Of
this country, which, compared with TINT Of San
Domingo, is refined, educated, and accomplished,
socially and politically, SOURCE Of enough
national perple1ity and strife, that we must go
out on voyage Of discovery to find some wild.
and profoundly ignorant, tribe speaking for
eign tongue, and drag them into tho
Union to be clothed with the vestments
Of American citizenship? The question,
therefore, is not one of benefting the Domini-
cans, but OF protecting ourselves. Our ports
are open to all men who seek to benefit their
condition. We have an unoccupied territory
capable OF holding $4,000, 900 more people, in
cluding the Africans of San Domingo; but it is
as foreign to our policy and to our system OF
government to acquire colonies by annexing San
Domingo, as it would be oincorporate the whole
Teutoaic, Scandinavian, and Celtic races, by an
ncxing Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
and Ireland. Against that uode of Increasing
population and citizenship there are insuperable
objections.
