MORE MURDER. every week adds to
the long list of those confined in the Tombs for
murder. Doubtless the fact that it is practi-
cally impossible to enforce the legal penalty
leads persons of violent and unbridled
passions to omit that self-restraint they would
practice were it certain that their own lives
would be held to answer for their crimes.
Hardly day passes without bringing its
record of capital crime, yet no one is
punished. Saturday furnished another story
of shooting in saloon in Nassau street, the
same room where q somewhat similar scene
took place some months ago. Shootings and
stabbings are becoming as frequent in New
York as they were years ago in Natchez- Under
the-Hill, and clearly, if the regular administra-
ton Of law through the Courts does not soon
begin the punishment of murder life will
become SO insecure that the public will try
some Of those more summary if less orderly
methods which in other places have some-
times justly though irregularly punished mur-
der and checked violence. New York cannot
afford much longer to let the slayers of men
60 unhung.

The REMAINS OF Mr.. GREELEY were yes
terday transported from Pleasantville to this
city, accompanied by one Of the grief-stricken
daughters Of the great deceased. Several
societies have already taken action in express
ing their sorrow at the loss to society. The
body will lie at the residence Of Mr.. Samuel
Sinclair to-day and at DR.. Chapin's church on
Monday. On Tuesday, unless other action is
decided on, the funeral sermon will be
preached by Dr. Chaplin and the interment
follow Immediately afterwards. It may be
mentioned that the Union League Club have
hope that President Grant will take part in
the obsequies of his late distinguished rival in
the political field. It would certainly be q
graceful and worthy act

Renewal of Threatening Appearances
In France.

Renewal of Threatening Appearances
In France.
The uncertainty of the situation in coun-
try constituted in political sentiment as France
now is finds melancholy evidence in our cable
dispatches from Paris Of yesterday. The ma
jority with which President Theirs assured
to himself and France the continuance
Of the Republic, with him at the head, would
seem endangered by the result of q vote sprung
in heated discussion on the Assembly. 1t
amounts to majority Of six against the gov
ernment but it is worth observing that the
number of members voting proves that
there were eighty-nine less present than at
the great sitting Of Friday. The monarchists,
in moment of blind folly, would seem to be
endeavoring to make it impossible for M.
Thiers to hold his position. They are in this
being made the victims of the Bona
partists to draw the chestnuts out of the fire,
to be devoured themselves along with the
chestnuts. In one hundred years the mon
archy in France has never deserved good
word. Whatever sporadic good inten-
tions may have been terminated in the
breasts Of the sovereigns, their supporters
have ever merited the scorn which the world
has crystallized in an epigram-''They never
forget and never learn anything" They
never forget the fiction Of divine right to
rule and rob, and they do not learn from
an age that is placing their cause further
and further among the exploded myths Of
long ago. If there is trouble in Paris the
Gambetta, may be the day after imploring
mercy from the mob.

The STORM ON THE COAST OF New BRUINS
WICK, of which we in New York have felt the
proof that it extended along the entire dis
lance between, has been fruitful of much
sorrow and loss. The HERALD special reports
from st. John exhibit a long catalogue of
shipping disasters. Eleven vessels have been
either wrecked or injured on the shore. and
intense anxiety is felt for those vessels which
were known to be at SEQ at the time and

the Tribune of late years. With the death of
Mr.. Greeley that journal must necessarily be
reorganized upon the rule Of impersonal jour-
nalism. And We speak from the results OF
experience in giving it as our opinion that
this is the true system for great daily jour
nal, and the road to the highest success for
'the age We live in," with its enlarged and
still widening telegraphic facilities.
The HERALD, the Tribune and the Times,
with the loss to each of its founder and
builder, have all lost their character as per-
sonal journals; but they are each established
on that solid foundation of success which in
vites them to this new departure of impersonal
and independent journalism, SO distinctly out
lined by Mr. Greeley on his return, the other
day. from that s'other line of business" to the
conduct of the Tribune. There is enough, too,
in the example, the system and the policy OF
the founders of each of these journals to guide
their successors in Office, Independently OF
that personal journalism which has at length
for us been overreached by the telegraph In
conclusion, let the Tribune continue to exhibit
that spirit of energy independence and enter
prise, and that world-embracing spirit OF
Christian philanthropy and ''peace and good
will to men" which so eminently distinguished
its deceased editor, and it will continue to
maintain the substantial reputation given it
by the genius and the labor Of love bestowed
upon it by Horace Greeley.

WINTER FASHIONS. Now that the earth is
draped in the first white mantle of Winter,
and q chilling blast and nipping frost remind
the fair promenader on Broadway that the
time has come for change Of toilet, and a
decided one at that it may be useful to anti
cipate the wonders of the holidays, SO near at
hand, and to give few suggestions on what
to wear and how to wear it. American ladies
may be congratulated now on the eminently
practical character of their ideas of dress, and
on having emancipated themselves so COM
pletely from the extravagances Of Partisan
models. The latter they leave entirely to
actresses nowadays, and for themselves they
select only what is graceful and becoming.
There are no narrow lines at present for
lady's choice Of toilet, but an endless variety
of styles. In another column we give few
ideas suggested by stroll through the prin-
cipal haunts Of fashion. The season is not
sufficiently advanced for the modistes to be
prepared with their full Winter stock but in
week or two more the ladies may expect
revelation of holiday styles that will not dis
appoint even the most sanguine mind.

The Catholic RevieD is distinguished this

possessed those strong intellectual qualities,
that marked individuality of character, those
Distinguishing and popular eccentricities
which made the Tribune, and which, whatever
the notifications, are indispensable to the sue

are due the success of the HERALD Indeed,
such has been the partiality of the Amer

capable Of impressing themselves upon the
public mind in everything they discuss, that
Parson Brownlow, at the head of small weekly
paper in the mountains of Tennessee, brought
it into general notice and for it an unexpected
success. Nor is this new thing, nor is it
limited to this country; for in England, Cob

Empire, Rochefort was marked success in
personal journalism From similar striking
individualities Dickens, SO successful as a
novelist, would doubtless have been equally
successful as the writer of the distinguishing
editorials Of q newspaper.
But with the extension Of the facilities of
the telegraph our metropolitan newspapers
are inevitably tending to that impersonal
journalism which is most fully represented by
the London Times. The news from the four

Registered Tobacco stnn,v.,

This is from the Washington Republican,
Upon the petition of several of the large
tobacco manufacturers to be allowed to use
a hand-stamp to imprint their respective
names upon registered tobacco stamps as a
part OF the cancellation thereof instead of
writing such names, the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue so far modifes aragraph
marked IL under the head of "moie of
cancellation" Of regulations, series six,
No 8, as to allow manufacturer to use a
hand stamp for stamping or printing his or
his firms name upon registered tobacco
stamps as a part Of the cancellation instead
of writing such names with a pen. Such
stamps will he required to be so made as to
give fac-simile impression of the hand
writing of the manufacturer Of his own or
his firms name as written in his or their or
dinary business transactions. Any person
or firm manufacturing tobacco who may be
desirous of using such a handstamp will
make direct application to the commissioner
for special permit so to do, presenting at
the same time samples of the fac-simile i'm
