REPUBL lCAN AND LIBERAL LITERATURE.

10 the Editor Of The Chicago Tribune:
SR: The New York Times has late1y been
boasting considerably of it's increased cizcu1a-
ton. It's weekly edition is being gratuitoualy
distributed ali over the country by hundreds Of
thousands, and sent through the Post Office to
almost every family in country towns and dis
tricts. Democrats and Liberals are especially
favored with this inundation Of Grant literature,
and such OF them as will take the New York
Times from the Post Ofdce receive regularly,
stree, gratis, for nothing" this blstant organ
Of monopolists, corrupt Rings, and Treasury
"leeches." -
During q recent trip in Indiana, found that
class Of news-dealeTs and train-boys Beem to
be- tabooing TIE CHICAGO TRIBUNE and the
Cincinnati Commercial, and found it often
very difficult to obtain copy OF either Of those
papers. They we're eagerly snapped up, in most
places on the arrival OF the mail but Scammon's
organ, the Chicago Times, and other Grant or
gans were always to be had in great p1ofusion
and at all times.
Several gentlemen wished to purchase TR1B-
USEs on board Of Logansport trnin; but the
treln-boy only carried the Times and HalESeds-
0re7, alleging that TIE TRIBUNE Office Was awsy
down IN the burnt district, and too far for him
to go after copies Is there not some occult IN
huence, easily guessed at, deterring some Of tho
ne|s-Eenders in the country from selling tho
Liberal journals? J. III.

"TEMPERtNG MERCY WITH JUSTICE"

To tbs Editor Of tbs Chicago tribune:
6R: Under this caption correspondent
in the Chicago Times endeavors to make weak
apology for Charles H. Reed, our States Attor-
ney, going so extensiyely into the pardon-brok-
erage business. The writer says: "It is well
known to every intelligent person that trial by
jury is only legal form, and often mere
tarce;" and, from theses premises, draws the
conclusion that the States Attorney should be
vested with pardoning power; hence, the Gov
ernor should pardon Whomsoever that officer
recommends. No doubt the men who disregard
and ignore the benefcent writ Of hobeas corpus
will be glad to see the "mere farce" Of trial
by jury abolished.
we're granted, the parties pardoned we're either
guilty, or they Were not guilty, OF the high
crimes for which they we're convicted. Il guilty,
they should have remained in the Penitentiary
until they paid the full penalty Of the offended
law; If they we're net guilty, it Was the duty Of
the States Attorney, after hearing the evidence,
to enter a noHe prosequi. The writer Of the ar
tlcle referred to says: ''As the Law now stands
the States Attorney has right to enter noNe
pT0sequs when the evidence, in his opinion is in
sufficient to convict" Now, why the necessity
OF the propriety Of the States Attorney permit
ting conviction and sentence, and the locking
up Of an innocent man? Is it because the par
don business is profitable, either to the State or
the omcezs Of the law ?
Our States Attorney is not unacquainted with
his right to enter note prose4zss; for, in the
years 1868 and 1863, he noIe-p -prosed 347 cases,
amongst which we're % indictments for burglary,
% for receiving stolen goods; for rape, and 1z9
for larceny. In the same years, the whole
amount Of bail forfeiture-and the greater part,
II not all, Of it well secured-was S114,300:
while the whole amount collected Of this sum
celed by the States Attorney entering noAe
prosequas in 101 caees.
These facts and fgures are derived from rec
ords and proceedings yet remaining in this city,
and they cannot be. successfully denied Will
the Times correspondent attempt to explain or
justify the loss Of this large sum Of money?

CRIME IN CHICAGO.
Another Of Mr. States Attorney Reeds
Methods Of Preventing It's
Spread in This City.
Ninety.Sesen Persons Against Whom 1ns
dictments We're Found Allowed
to Default Their Bail,
This Only the Work Of Eight Months
1.-The Case Of Hugh Gar
rity.

The TRIBUNE Of Monday displayed to the
world one of the ways Mr. Charles H. Reed haa
adopted since he has held the Office OF Prose-
cutting Attorney, Of preventing crime in this city.
It was shown from the official record at SPRING
field that, through the personal Intervention Of
Mr. Reed, the Governor had been induced to
pardon out Of the Penitenisry eighty cri1ni-
nails sent to that institution for the commission
OF crime in Chicago. It was also shown that
l1r. Reed had beseeched Governor Palmer to
turn loose twenty other villains, among
them the notorious forger "Colouel" Cross,
the most dangerous man Of his profession " in
the United States. It is probably not true, tbs
assertion that A1r. Reed sought the release ol
these one hundred and SIX rascals that they
might return to Chicago, commit other Crimes
and again run through the mill, that he might
second time draw his prosecution fee OF 80 per
head for re-co1f7icion.
And now that our readers may learn fu1ther Of
AIr. Reeds system Of s. preventing and punish
ing crime" Ii this city, ne produce, this morn
ing, from the records OF the Criminal Court,
a List Of persons indicted for the alleged
commission Of offences against tho
People, and who have escaped punishment
through the laxity Of the Prosecuting Attorney,
who has allowed them to forfeit their bail The
List contains ninety-seven names, and is only
Of defaults entered between Dec. II, 1871, and
July II, 1572-less than eight months. It is
stated by the Clerk Of the Criminal Court that
more than twice ninety seven defaults have bean
entered since the 18th Of July, and fully ninety
seven within the last sixty days.
By comparison Of the List given below, and
the names OF the delegates to the Republican
County Convention which renominated Afr.
Charles H. Reed for the Office Of Prosecuting
Attorney, the reader may find startling sirnil-
lar1ty IN very many instances.
The Hugh Garrity whose name appears IN
the List below as indicted for the crimes OF at
tempting to kill and attempting to rob, is the
ea1ne Hugh Gar1ity released from the Penite1l-
tlary year or two ago, On the recommendation
of Mr.. Reed.
The persons whose names appear below (apd
who have :: :defaulted ), the reader will under
stand, have been arrested, gone through pre-
lmiuary examination before Police Justice,
passed from there to the Grand Jury, where in.
dictments we're found, and then been released
on bail to appear for trial before the Criminal
Court. The first column below Elbows the time
set for trial, and the date Of default. No ono
of the bail-bonds has bean prosecuted, and no
ono ot the alleged criminals has been 1e-ar1est-

TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL HURLEY.
Michael Hurley testified as follows:

years Of age when married bis mother he had little
petticoats on could not tell Whit time he came
home the night he was arrested. did not hear him
d9anF de xas in bed when the sergeant came He VAS
TEE END OF TIE pEFKNcE.
Ihls ended the testimony Of the defence,
THE ARGUMENTS.
:, Mr. Van Buren, said he was willing to submit
the case without argument
NJ. heed would not agree to do so. and pro-
ceeded to make his argument. He contended
that the evidence in the case in regard to tha
bullet showed that the defendant took deliberate
aim at the deceased. There was no testimony
that Patterson touched Hurley.
Mr. Van buren, denied that there was DELHI
Grafton, claiming thst the locality Of the wound
showed that the pistol Was fred rapidly without
aim, just as man would do when in danger,
The fact that q man was dead and that another
killed him did not prove crime, unless tho jury
believed that the man intended to kill him. Mt.
Van Buren, quoted from authorities to show that
what Was said by prisoner was not considered
to be eliminating; testimony in reference to
such statements as it Was claimed Hurley had
made WAS deemed weak and unreliable. He
claimed that fair inference, from the testi-
mony, was that Patterson assaulted Hurley and
YVES shot by the latter in self-defence, he Know
ing, on account Of the threats, that Patterson
would kill him at the first opportunity.
Mr. Reed replied, urging that there was no
testimony to show that there was g struggle or
fight.
The VERDICT
The Court then gave the usual instructions, and
the jury retired to deliberate, and after an ab-
sence Of one hour and ten minutes returned
verdict Of guilty Of manslaughter, and fixed the
penalty Of Hurley's cri1e at seventeen years in
the Penitent1ary.

slanderer," has been extensively circulated
through the country. Let an intelligent public
Judge who is the slanderer,-I who read Uerba-
tim report Of the Civil Service Commission,
1871, stating that one-fourth OF the revenues
are annually lost in their collection, or they
who now, in the midst Of heated canvass for
President. stultify themselves by pretending
that their language does not mean what it says.
Senator Morton is mistaken in attributng to
me statement last winter, that the report did
not mean what it said. No such statement Of
mine can be found in the Globe; so far from it,
that that one-fourth Of the revenues were an
nual1y lost, under the present Civil Service sys-
TEN, as reason for demanding q reform. /
have no doubt, and never had any, that the re-
port was substantially correct and yet, in conse-
Carpenter, and other special friends Of the Ad-
correct The abuse. HE amount Of revenue col
lected the last fiscal year was S3s3, ,323, ,944 SO,
Thlsh, T; G. according to the report Of 4he
fourths Of the amount which ought to have been
received. The one-fourth lost must, therefore,
have amounted to. 5127, ,774, 1862, and this
chiefly through an unsound Civil Service sys-
TEN which Senator Morton prono1nces the best
ton, and pass to the statements Of another
Senator.
LoGAA's B1uSDEns As TO GOVERNMENT Ex-
PENsES.
General Logan is reported to have snid, in o
speech nude in this city on the 25th instant
that $50 far as the expenses Of the Government
were concerned, the per capita had been less
than under any other Administration for forty
years." The Register of the Treasury, in an Off
cial report, not got up for electioueering pur-
poses, but made in December last, gives state
ment of the net ordinary expenditures, not in
cluding interest or payments on account Of the
public debt, from the beginning Of
the Government, to June 80, 1871. According
to this official document, tho net ordinary ex~
penditures for the fiscal year ending June so,
1860, were $50 0010 062.58, and for the fiscal year
ending June so, 1871 SIS, ,5s3, 1921, SO, which is
more than twice per capita what they we're in
1860. Whom will yor believe, General Logan,
or the Register Of the Treasury? Let them set
tie it between them. General Logan asserts
that General Grants administration has been
subjected to moro Investigating Committees
than any other Of its predecessors, and that
:" not one iota Of corruption has been detected"
Does the allowance of q claim known
to be fraudulent to the amount of
@443,000 to Chorpenning, by the Postmaster
