II will not do to present to tho people who have
overtbrown thel Ring and its ROughs, as an
excuse for failure to do duty in this matter,
the pIea which prevailed in the past
that tho proprietor of Hell HOlo is the per-
sopal friend of Alderman Grabgame, who car
ries the vote of Murderers' Alley in his pocket.
There is law for tho suppression of these
places, and strong public sentiment to
back the officers who enforce it. The Concert
saloons and gambling-hells must 60 where
those who insist on being vicious will have to
hunt for them, not where Ignorance, and pos
sibly Innocence, may DO entrapped by them
under false pretenses.
Nor is this all, nor will this partial reform
be enough. We must have, in time, change
in the system Of dispensing justice in the po-
lice courts. No city Of amy size ever saw 80
many ignorant and INSCRIPTIONS magistrates
dispensing law from the benches of its minor
courts as New-York daily endures. There is
virtually no police law other than the will OF
tho Police Justices, nine-tenths of whom have
no legal training, and all Of whom are of po-
litical creation merely. Few of them have any
higher qualification for Office than personal
popularity The simple truth is that nine
teuths Of tho police courts are mock
cry of Justice. Men accused of minor
offenses are daily held on ridiculously insult
ficient evidence, while scores of Others, clearly
guilty, are released either through the petty
bubbles with which astute lawyers confound
uneducatod judges, or through fayoritism,
political influence, and means even positively
criminal. In ono of them the writ of
Habeas Corpus became and we believe it is
sill matter of common barter, and in others
it is known that raids by the police like the
one of Saturday night were planned for the
benefit of blackmailing lawyers and the judges
they were leagued with. The power Of "sus-
"pendng Judgment" by which condemned
criminals are set free on probation, as it were,
and which sOmo unjust precedent, certainly no
Just law has established, is employed daily to
cOeTco some and to favor other scOundrels ;
and the worse custom still of "pigeon-hollng
"indictmentsn has been carried to excess for
tho benefit Of some Of the worst criminals in
the country. AS consequence of these dan
gerous practices, and frequent failure to prose-
cute other criminals scores of whom lie IN the
TOmbs untried for murders almost forgotten,
there is sense of insecurity of person
which tho people demand shall be re-
lieved by tho only means possibe-a
vigorous enforcement of the criminal
laws. The most important local duty of the
day is the rendering of life and property Sc
cure, and the protection of the moral scnti-
ment and moral classes of tho city. TO these
ends THE TRIBUNE devOtes its energies, and
will not cease demanding from the authorities
continuous action in this direction until the
Roughs and tho inefficient officials are both

OUR CRIMINAL LAWS.

The overwhelming defeat of the ROaghs of
Apollo Hall in our recent municipal election
was an unmistakable declaration by THE
reputable citizens Of New-YOrk that they mean
to have an honest administration of the crimi-
nal laws Under the fostering care of O'Brien
and Tweed, vice has grown in our city to
frightful proportions. Political influence has
protected the most immoral and degrading
establishments in our chief thOrOughfares
Gaudy haunts Of debaucheTy still flourish in
spite of spasmOdic and inefficient police raids
like those of Saturday night when three-fourths
of the offenders captured were released because
they were customers" Gambling hells do
business defantly by day in the business heart
of the city and by night und T the shadow of
Police Headquarters. COurtesans ply their
vile trade in the most revolving manner all
along Broadway from Chambers-st. to Central
Park We have no hope that the Drofigacy
and dissipation of the metropolis can be eradi-
Gated by any police; for vice naturally follows
where multtudes cOngregate and money, ac-
cumulates, and as long as man is vile we
cannot altogether be rid of it. But
the insulting display of the panderers
To the vicious daily and nightly seen in
our best streets must be banished TO
unfrequented places. If the present po-
lice force viii not 10 tia new force must.

such disreputable nonsense should DO promulgated
There arc the usual rapsi catches are Lifted, and

the entry and the school-room" The teacher opened

peared to be a pupil-a year since dead-was seen
gliding up stairs to the attic The teacher followed.

force that her nails left their prints in the palm of
her hand; but she found herself grasping q mere
shadow, which gradually vanished" OF course,
people visit this seminary in crowds and we arc told
that the school committee to have an inyestiga-
ton. That is like school committees in general.
PRAY. what is there to investigator Why not con-
slider the moral injury TO children OF treating this
matter seriouslyi OF course there is no ghost and
no face of deceased boy has been seen looking
through the window, and no such ghost has been
crashed at by the teacher. The true way would be
either TO dislodgo the ghost by burning the school
bouse or to pooh-poOh the whole thing until the chill
dren forget it, or laugh at 1T.

The Prince Of Wales recently paid visit 10 the
Earl of Aylcsford ut Pacungton Hall, Warwick
SHIRE and the local newspapers give an eloquent ac-
count of the manner in which the noble Earl enter
tanned bis princey guest. The first day was devoted
to rabbit shooting. His Royal Highness and eight
other gentlemen each armed with doube-baTreled
gun, and followed by an attendant with another gun
ready loaded went out into his lOrdships covers in
heavy rain, and butchered with such diligence tho
little animals which tho heaters startled from their
hiding places, thatgby nightfall they had accumu
lated heap of 79S carcasses. His Royal Highness
spent the second day in killing pheasants; and it is
to be hoped that his noble entertainer had some
fresh form of slaughter i'll readiness for him the
day following.

At last we have the secret Of the burning
of the steamship Missouri. AT the examination
on Saturday, a witness testified that demi-
John of spirits was knocking about loosely in
locker in the pantry. This locker was over
the boiler, and the dry, tindery deck was be-
meath it. The demijohn was broken by its
tumbliDg about the spirits took fire from the
boiler, and the flames spread over the ship.
We know the rest; the pumps broke down )
there were boats without oars, and other boats
were swamped in their clumsy lowering away.
The melancholy details of the disaster must
go on to the end of the investigation; but
here is a record of carelessness and lack of
ordinary foresight which seems criminal.

Here is a curious and melancholy story illustra-
live of great public disappointment. Strange to
say Telfair County Ga. has never enjoyed circus.
Somebody procured number of old bills and posted
them at Jacksonville, announcing that tho circus
would be exhibited on u certain Friday. A great
crowd Of men, women, and children gathered, all
wild with JOY and expectation, but no circus APP
peared. After hope deferred had made great
many hearts sick, little boy rushed into the town
CRYING that no had seen the clown crossing the
river. And who should the clown turn out to be
but Gen. Cook coming to make political speech
The crowd melted sadly away, and the General had
but hard time of it.

The great storm which swept across the
northern coast of Europe, last week, was the
severest known for many years. We have but
an imperfect report of the damage done; it is
even possible that many distant localities
which have been stOm-swept have not been
heard from yet. The hurricane or rain-tem-
pest, seems to have spent its force in the
Baltic and along the coasts of Prussia and
Denmark. Stralsund, an ancient city of Pome-
rama, isolated from the main land, is one of
the largest places which were damaged; but
one poor little village on the island of Botoc
was entirely swept away with its inhabitants ;
and the maritime town of Pr9stoe, on the
island of Seeland, between the Baltic and the
Cattegat, was half ruined. 1t is possible that
this serious atmospheric disturbance may be
connected with the great atmospheric wave
which the Signal Bureau is said to have dis
covered on the North Pacific, travelling east
ward. This wave has heretofore been a
specially European phenomenon but 1t is
now traced distinctly from the shores of Bril-
iAh Columbia and Oregon to the Pacific States

Reports of the condition of South Carolina
finances are not very encouraging to bond
holders. The State Controller, it seems, pro-
poses to raise sum only equal to that re-
quired on S9s65,9OS of the funded debt, leav-
ing about $OOOO,OOO unprovided for. These
are of the conversion bonds and are largely
held in the North; but no satisfactory ac-
count of their sale has ever been made-and
the Controller practically repudiates them.
But even the taxes that are to be collected to
meet the interest on the remainder Of the
funded debt are not to be covered into the
State Treasury without struggle. The State
officials, elected on the Moses ticket in 0cto-
Der, have prevented this by the issuing of
restraining injunction procured at their in
stance. Whatever may be the real cause Of
South Cardinals financial troubles, it is clear
that even the officials do not trust each other.
