against the old Constabulary system,--that
sit created new set of officers, at an enor-
nous expense to the treasury" While we
always regarded this objection as unjust, yet,
we have ever been conscious Of the fact that
it was by use of such an objection that thou
sands Of good men were influenced to oppose
and overthrow the old system. Iii this that
has thwarted all efforts to reinstate an inde-
pendent force. If, therefore, this plan over
comes this formidable objection, and puts this
question of enforcing law squarely upon its
merits it would seem wise on the part of the
friends of temperance to accept it, and labor
for its adoption, although many of us might
have preferred the old system. The practi
cal question is whether we will take this, or
nothing.
We suppose it is proposed not to leave the
several sheriffs to their own disposition or in
disposition in this matter, but to provide that
willful refusal or neglect to faithfully dis
charge the duties thus imposed, shall subject
the offender to removal from Office by address
of the Legislature as provided by the consti-
tution-a penalty which will be likely to
make any sheriff inclined to favor the rum
power, see his duty with sufficient clearness
to perform it. And inasmuch as it is in the
power of County Attorney to effectually bar
all prosecutions of liquor sellers, a power
which few have used unscrupulously, it
would be well at the same time to apply the
same spur to these officers.
There are some advantages of this plan that
are of obvious importance. In the first place
it secures force of sheriffs and deputies at
least six times as large as any one would
think of having as independ.n officers.
These officers will meet with less opposition
than new force, and it will be less difficult
to get good men to accept positions. As
their ordinary duties bring them into constant
contact with the people of their respective
counties, they will find it easier to obtain in
formation as to violations Of laws against
drinking houses. They will be more likely
to perform the new work imposed upon them
from the fact that it is in the line of their old
duties. The law passed several years since
requiring municipal officers to execute these
laws, failed partly for the reason that the new
labors imposed were entirely out Of the line
of their ordinary duties, and party for the
reason that the law itself contemplated that
they should not act until the cases of viola
ton were brought to their notice, with the
names Of two competent witnesses. This
was worse than Hamlet with Hamlet left out.
The plan proposed would remedy these de-
fects, and then would not leave private citi-
zens to pay the expenses of ferreting out Of
tenders, but would impose this upon the
county, while the county itself would be more
than compensated directly for such expendi-
lures by fines imposed, and paid into the
county treasury.

The New York Commercial Advertiser
says: New York will soon witness another
jury impa nneling farce. Twelve men are
wanted to try the assassin of poor Fisk
twelve intelligent men who have never
read newspaper, or heard of the cir
Gums tances of the murdered mans death.
To be sure it will be hard to get them, but
when they are obtained what credit they
will be to the jury system of our enlight-
ened community!

Those States which have most literally
encouraged the development of their re-

population is test, excellent places to
emigrate to, but States which have pur-
sued the opposite policy are held to be
good places to emigrate from. The diff
ference is readily comprehended.

Objection to the matter going to the Judiciary
Committee. He would like to pass the bill,
but would prefer that it went to the commit
tee.
Mr.. KNIGHT remarked that it was very evil
dent that there was no feeling in the direc-
ton OF referring the matter to the Judiciary
Committee among gentlemen with whom he
had talked till the gentleman from Thomas
ton had spoken. And he was sorry that the
gentleman had so engaged the attention of
the House as to apparently incline them to
that disposition of the mater. He thought
the Judiciary Committce-with all due de-
ference to them-could know no more about
the matter than the House, and lie wished to
make one single reference to the peculiar
line this discussion has taken. He said he
did not wonder at some men improving each
golden opportunity to attack men so high
above them, since it afforded them the easy
and the only means to snatch themselves
from that remorseless obscurity to which
Nature in her great plan had so deftly. so
kindly, and so humanely consigned them. He
said there are very eminent gentlemen who
do not believe that the jurisdiction Of that
court has been interfered with at all. But

all doubts

DETAILS OF THE CALAMITY,

Boston, Nov. 10, 1872.
Boston has been visited by terrible calamity.
Before it paes into nsignifcance any and all events
which have transpired in this vicinity for years,
and the results thereof will take months to over
come. statisticary speaking, nearly the whole Of
the principal business portion OF the city is in
ashes. The main thoroughfare between Nor tn
and South End is piled up with rubbish Franklin,
Hawley, Otis, Arch and Matthews streets and Nor.
ton place are things Of the past, and there is but
seven buildings left standing on the east side Of
Washington street, between MIX and Summer,
and very few on either Pearl, High,
water and Devonshire streets. The dis.
trict burned over by the fire Is bounded
by Summer. Washington, Milk, Congress, Water,
Kiby and half Of Central street, proceeding there.
from in nearly a straight line to Broad street. and
thence to the Boston, Hartford and Erie Railroad
depot In 1t are included Otis, Arch, Hawley,
grsnkin. Dcyonshire, Matthew'S Perkins. Federal,
The New York herald., 1872-11-11
brought under at three p. NJ yesterday and

brought under at three p. M. yesterday, and
laid waste the Oldest and wealthiest part Of
the city Of Boston, will be read with thrill
Of painful concern over the entire civilized
world. To the city Of New YORK the
awful fate that has overtaken the
capital Of New England has an especial and
momentous interest. United closely by ties of
o social and commercial character, whatever
affects our sister city Of Boston has more
or less Of import for us. Over two
hundred acres of the substantial class Of
buildings have been utterly destroyed.
Neither iron nor granite could withstand the
fierce sweep Of the fire. 1t smote down
walls such as might have defed the
ravages Of time for ages. Iron melted
like wax before the all-devouring fame, and
the efforts Of the fremen were as fruitless
and impotent as an attempt to balk the flowing
Of the tides. In the general wreck the Boston
people have one consoling thought-that their
most sacred and venerable landmark, the Old
South Church, is saved--saved by the super
human exertions of the fremen, amid cries
from the anxious multitude Of "God bless the
fremen!'
The granite front Of the new Post Office
crumbled down like gingerbread in the face Of
the confagration. Finally, after twenty
hours Of weary toll and suffering, the fire was
subdued, chiefly through the summary process
Of blowing up the buildings that lay within its
all-destroying sweep.
