which of course increases the value OF
money, and compels the sale of speculative
stocks in order to raise it. Some of the
banks are suspected of being engaged in
the transaction, and lamentations are long
and loud. This making of corners" as it
is called, has become difficult undertak-
ing, however, for it requires bold men and
abundant capital since the famous Black
Friday, to stir the "bulls" and 'bears."
Crime just now seems to be flowing in
an unusually bloody rut. A murdered
man found in the street, Drained and rob-
bed; another poisoned after making will
in favor of his poisoner; woman stabbed
by strumpet; boy cut to death by his
cousin, and both lads less than fifteen
wears old; bar-room tragedy in which
Young German attendant was forced IN
self.defence to shoot ruff IN dead; anoth
era penitentiary bird-beaten to insen-
sibility while attempting with his gang to
Kill the proprietor: a drunken wife killed
by a drunken husband-surely all this In
three days is enough to satisfy any appe-
lite disposed to sup on horrors.
The criminal population by the way, are
in extacies over the decision OF the Court
of Appeals that the Court of Special Ses-
sions was illegally aud unconstitutioaally
organized, and nine-tenths of the peniten-
tiary convicts are seeking release. Writs
hnbeas corpus have been granted IN nearly
two hundred cases, aud the prisoners
brought from Biackwell's Island to the
Tombs and other prisons. The cOnse-
unence is that there are three aud tour IN
a cell, hopefully awaiting release. As
these iail birds cannot be tried twice for
the same offence it is reasonable suppo-
sitiOn that they will soon be let loose up
on the community. OF murderers await
fny trial there are twelve.
