ton, we admit; and we can well imagine how
poor Jack must feel about it as he rides up the
avenues and sees the splendor and decoration
and comfort of the mighty city. ''Why am
not of these ?" he asks. Gam not q moulder
of public opinion? Am not great editor ?
Have not printed a noble newspaper, mainly,
1t Is true, out of Tammany advertisements
and hold Grant up to scorn? Didn't l
print Jimmy OBrien's vouchers and pay
O'Rourke seven dollars for copying them
Haven't told all about Grants relations, and
am not really benefactor of my racer Then
why am not in society? Why am not asked
to dine, to dance, to sit in the opera? am an
ornament to society. When I stand up in my
cart and call the other Jacks scoundrels and
liars and villains, don't the people gather
aroundp Yes, even the policemen and the
politicians cheer me. And yet society knows
these things and don't seek me, nor will 1t
permit my seeking it. So will reform society
by abusing It, and begin tomorrow morning,
as soon as open my cart" So we have had
this Jack and other Jacks wrangling about
society, and perhaps vexing some good people
with their noise. Good people, do not be
vexed. 1t is easy enough to call in the police
man and have Jack moved along; but that will
be hardly necessary. Tomorrow there will be
a new attraction circus or fair or Ken
lucky Giant-and Jack will be in Its var, fort
getting society's wrongs in the new emotion.
What play it is with which we begin this
new year Victor Hugo tells us Of a play
which his mountebanks acted, called 'Chaos
Conquered" This of ours is "Chaos Tri-
umphant." How long shall 1t triumph? There
is no end to it as yet for while the elements
are at war In New York Albany looms up
with its Conkling- Fenton rows Wash.
ington, with Its wars of Grant and
the ofAce-seekers, and, over the seas,
Germany and France rising in anger
England, with the lowering of the repub
lican storms-over the world trouble ani
change. What will the end beP When chaos
really triumphs we may look for the millennia
days, and it would not surprise us to be toli
by the expounders Of strange theologie'
that Satan was about TO be bound for thou
sand years, and that, knowing his time was a
hand, he was giving the world trouble al
around. If chaos will bring peace, then wei
come chaos; but for the present we are at it,
mercy and must wait and hope.

Mr. Bergb, the kind and tender hearted
President of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Animals, evidently lovos little
sensation. To show that he is no respecter of
persons he has left for the time the hard
hearted Jehus who torture hack horses, and
the butchers and marketmen, who make inno-
cent calves below with anguish, and has gone
for higher delinquents. The pigeon shooters
the gentlemen who practice upon the doves
with their rifles for the purpose of attaining
skill in shooting-have been followed and inter-
rupted in their sport. This is something new
under the sun, genuine sensation, one which
will prove highly gratifying to the butchers
and hackmen. The great Bergh shows his
Indifference to rank, caste or wealth when the
lower animals are concerned. In his zeal he
invades the private property and private en-
joyments of people to save birds from the pain
s5ot infcts. How precious animal life Is to
him His enthusiasm in the cause Of the
dumb creation grows daily. The next thing
we shall hear, probably, is that he forbids fish
being caught by hooks, and oysters being
opened till they are pronounced dead by COM
petent authority. In fact, the use of the net
may be deemed questionable unless the fish
caught be carefully kept in water till the mo-
ment they are required to be sacrificed. II
may be, indeed, that before long We shall be
called upon to give up all flesh or fish food In
the interests of the lower animals. We live
In wonderful, progressive age, and the great
Bergh leads the way.

THE REPUBLICAN, NATIONAL CONVENTION.
The National Executive Committee of the
republican party meets in Washington in about
a fortnight to fix dag and select place for
holding the next National Convention. 1t will
also, probably, have something to say about
the proper persons to be sent as delegates;
and here arises question-What is going to
be done about the suggestion Of the Baltimore
american, that no oiflce-holders shall be adj
mtted as delegates? Has Fulton burst his
boiler in his experiment Of working the
machinery of politics by steam, or has he been
overslaughed in his endeavors to make the
denomination of General Grant come as
nearly as possible direct from the hands of the
people2" In either case the proceedings Of
the Executive Committee will be Of some
public interest.

RADICAL BALANCING OF TIE POLITICAL
POLE IN PARIs.-M. vautrain, candidate for
O seat In the French Assembly, accepted a
nomination from the radicals Of one of the
electoral districts of Paris. He became
slightly ''shaky" on the platform, however.
He went for the republic, but "refused To
place the republic above universal suffrage.
His would-be constituents smelled a mighty
large ''mouse" in M. Vautrain's political
''meal tub" They classed 1t as tendency
towards imperialst reaction under the guise
OF mental reservation. NJ. Vautrain was con-
sequentIy given up. He sits, no doubt, on o
very high fence, looking perhaps towards

TIE LEX TALIoNIs OF PRUSSIA AGAINST
FRENCH OUTRAGE. Prussian War Office
authorities maintain a very threatening mill
tary attitude towards the people resident in the
portions Of the hostaged territory of France,
where murders and murderous assaults are
alleged to have been committed on German
soldiers during the army occupation. 1t is
said, indeed, that the Emperor Williams
officers will enforce the lee toli0nis of the war
code against French prisoners, whether the
individuals be guilty or not. An English au-
thority states that this extreme resolve is
being moderated in Berlin. 1t is to be hoped
that this is true, despite the cases of Prussan
accusation against the French which we report
to-day, in Illustration of our kilograms,
special aud otherwise, from the German
capital.

cartridges should be first nred on a crowd
before proceeding to fire bullets. Unfortu-
nately in this case, annoying as the yelling
and stone throwing may have been, it does
not appear that there was any necessity for
firing at all. II Is undoubted that there should
be some clear, simple rules laid down to guide
the military in dealing with civil disturb
'ances, outside Of which it would be criminal
to go; but they could only at best be such as
would suggest themselves to any cool-brained
officer who knew how to restrain
as well as lead his men. Recent
events have shown that our citizen
soldiers, unused to being brought face to face
with these abnormal occurrences, are apt to be
too hasty In the use Of their weapons. If the
officers need GOODNESS, the rank and file need
discipline of patience and self-restraint to
which they are evidently strangers. We sub
NIT these things to those high in authority to
see if there cannot be formulated some regula-
tons whereby the soldiers inestimable virtue,
self-control, may be enjoined, and some line
drawn between firing as duty and rash, ire
sponsible slaughter.
At the latest accounts cannon had been
planted around the jail, and all the reserved
military force called out. The police made
charge on the rioters yesterday afternoon,
dispensing them. The prisoner had been in
dicted by the Grand Jury, and the necessity
of removing him from the Jail was avoided.
Fortunately for the peace of the city the
heavy rain of last night did much to preserve
quietness by sending the mob home. These
people must learn that they cannot take the
law into their own hands, and they and the
military must remember that we cannot afford
to let the freedom of our institutions, gained
and preserved at such cost, be frittered away
before mob law or military intemperance. The
corpses of the two respectable citizens killed
on Tuesday night should be Q lesson to both.

How WE'LL THE SOUTH might point to the

law, Or Ku Klux law, or any other law that
avenged similar outrages in their comparatively
unprotected communities. Rochester is the

the great apostle of the black man, Fred
Douglass; but his teachings do not seem to
have made much impression upon the 'Dandy
Jims' of his race like the miscreant Howard

ATTORNEY GENERAL WILLIAMS writes that
It is the determination of the President to use
all the power which the constitution and laws
have placed in bis hands to suppress the Ku
Klux, aud that reports circulated to the con-
trary are unfounded. This is cause Of con-
siderable rejoicing to the friends of law and

merely their instructive hatred of the crime
concentrated on the accused, and, as such,
BIASED towards condomning him. The safe
guards placed by law around citizen on trial
they regard as stumbling blocks and needless
delays, and they look back to the days Of "a
short shrift and a long rope" with fierce
scorn of "modern improvements"
We have dwelt upon the growth and intensi-
fication of these exciting causes in this negro's
regard to show that the authorities at
Rochester must have known and felt
the danger which was arising there. We are
assured that they were conscious Of their duty
to protect the wretch in their keeping at all
hazards; but it is not so certain that while
feeling their responsibility as officials they
recognized the full measure Of their duty as
men dealing with a mob of fellow citizens,
maddened by an unusual, abhorrent crime.
The police assembled at the jail and the mill
tia were assembled under arms OF the arsenal
AS evening drew on about one hundred of the
National Guard were marched to the prison.
AT eight o'clock the police charged on the
crowd which had assembled and were uttering
loud threats; they succeeded in dispensing
1t for the time being. An hour later
found mob of one thousand persons about
the jail, some of them throwing stones at the
soldiers. At this time the order was given,
'Forwardv and detachment Of the militia
advanced at the charge, evidently to clear the
streets, which could easily have been done.
Then while still advancing, some stones were
thrown, and two companies fired volley into
the crowd, killing two men and wounding a
man and boy.
The moral of the whole story lies in this last
act, and it suggests the very grave question,
Are there no rules to be observed by military
bodies, no precaution to be observed, nc
warning given before life Is ruth
lessly sacrificed In this wayp Il has
almost always been considered due to
humanity in civilized countries that blanh
