HAYNE AND WEBSTER.

Eek Gov. Foote in a recent article on
Hayne and Webster says that in a CONVEX
sation with the South Carolina Senator he
asked him W hat he thought Of Webster's
powers as a speaker. Hegives Haynes re-
reply in these words:
He at once answered that he supposed
him, upon the whole. To he the most con-
summate orator of either ancient or mod
ern times; that his ability as a reasoner
he was confident, had never been exceeded
that his Imagination was as fertile and
vigorous as that Of Milton or Homer that
his humor was both exquisite and abund-
ant that his knowledge was unlimited !:
that he had the most happy command OF
his temper at all times, and that on GER
tain great occasions he had excelled all
the speakers that had ever lived, not ex>
cepting DemOsthenes or Cicero. / then
asked him what he thought of Webster's
manner? He replied that it was always
grand and impressive, that he had never
heard him utter word in a careless or
vulgar style; that he seemed never to for
get his own dignity, or 10 be unmindful of
the character and feelings OF others, and
that when thoroughly excited, the sub
lime grandeur of his thoughts and lau-
guage derived great additional potency
from his noble and soul-mOving enuncia-
ton and his few but impressive gestures.

THE POLICE JUSTICES.

If certain present inCumbents of the office
of Police Justice were not so indiscreet as to
urge in the public prints their denomination
on the Mayor, we should be content to leave
to his discretion and larger information of
men the whole subject of his choice for
those offices. But it may be necessary that
one journal should speak to counterfeit the in
fuence of others. We have no candidates TO
urge. The Mayor will do US the justice to
say that we have been thus far content to
oppose bad men, and not to urge any how
ever good we might have thought them.
This journal was the first to expose the
great corruption of the Police Justices. That
expose was part of the crusade which it made
against corruption on the Bench, and which
resulted in the conviction of McCunn, Car
dozo, and Barnard. Another ultimate result
of its agitation was the passage of the bill
under which Mayor Havemeyer is soon to APP
point new Justices for the Police Courts.
Among others, we find Judge Bowling urged
publicly for this position, and silence becomes
no longer polite or possible.
There are very few of the present Police
Justices who deserve denomination. Pos
sibly Mr. Havemeyer may have reasons to
THINK Judge LcuWlLn IIueI I'd the OOnHlJGcc
of Seventy when he ran for the Supreme
Court on the Tamnany ticket than most men
suppose him to have been. But beyond this
one, who of the old Justices deserves even con-
sideration7 OF the whole, Bowling deserves
least. Under his administration more outrages
upon personal liberty were committed than
ever McCunn and CardOzo directed against
property. If there was an outrage needed,
Bowling was the man applied to. He sold
the successful practice of his Court.
All who did not pay him tribute
were unsuccessful as peaders before him. He
made his Office tender to the Police Depart
ment, and with detectives and superintendent
like Jourdan and others, at once prOStituted
his position and outraged the innocent. In
competent for want of education, unfit be-
cause of lack of principle, incapable of good
service by reason of his complications in past
misconduct, Judge Bowling has not single
requisite for Office Co commend him. After the
long struggle to reform the Bench, his reap
pOintment will be an insult to the Bar of
NewYork and an outrage upon its people.

Major was charged with leaving his employ

was that he received but nine shilhngs week,
and that the cottage for which no bad to pay

There IS just now a great deal Of sneering at
republican morality in England, which, it
is true, has been justly provoked. But there
is a sound public sentiment of honesty and
justice in our people which appreciates both
the corruption of our own politicians and such
legal tyranny and robbery of the poor as this,
and which Will put an end to the one, and
never has permitted the other to be known

double the money that their work was worth,

home and the blessed chance of seeing lord

their children would have meat half dozen
times day if they wished it, and the con-

they chose with rabbits. And after all, enough
to ca. and fair wage for a days work go
long way toward making the honesty of a man

OLE Conflicts.

Mary Carpenter of Bristol, England, whose
study of the wants of prisoners has extended
from the cities of Europe and Asia to the
prisons of America, said recently at public
meeting in Boston: 81 perceive that your
prisons for women discharge the convictS in
81 worse state than they were when first SEN
"tenced." But that lady's remarkable book on
"Our ConvictS" begins with the statement
that they are a part of society. "They belong
"to ourselves Therefore we ask with great
concern, what becomes of them9
The enormous cost of crime the public can
never very closely estimate; but in the State of
New-YOrk the depredations of criminals are
understood to greatly exceed thirteen millions
of dollars yearly. The amount lost by their
operations is more accurately known than the
actual number of tho criminals that prey upon
property. And yet this represents only one
branch of crime. The whole number of con-
victs in custody at any one time probably is
not more than one tenth the actual
total of persons who belong to the crimi-
nally dangerous classes. The three State
Prisons, at Sing Sing, Clinton, and Auburn,
discharge upward of 1000 prisoners every
year, and the six penitentiaries mot including
the workhouse of this city, discharge between
5000 and 1900. The county jails send forth
vastly greater numbers than these. But let US
look at these 5000 and upward from the peni-
tentiaries, and 1000 discharged from the State
PrisonA What becomes Of themf Do these
1900 dishonored and dreaded persons find their
way back TO criminal lief Does any consid-
cradle proportion of them regain foothold in

ing annually some $S,OOO,OOO, as Judge Ed
monds shows in his report to the Prison Asso-
citation, they are questions Of public economy

CHINESE VENGEANCE.

Out of the mystery which has always en-
veloped the distant provinces of China comes
a frightful story of violence and blood 1t is
related in a London telegram to the Associated
Press that the Imperial Chinese forces, having
captured the City of Tali-fu Province of
Yunnan, fell upon the inhabitants, who are
Mohammedan rebels, and put thirty thousand
of them to death. The Sultan, it is further said,
poisoned himself, suicide being preferable to cap
ture by the victorious Imperiaists. II is hardly
accurate, however, to speak of Talfu as
1" the capital of MOhammedan State in the
Province Of Yunnan." The termination of
the name of the city indicates that it is the
capital of one of those districts into which
every Chinese province is subdivided. These
subdivisions correspond to the counties into
which our States are divided, and are called
"Fu." Tall, or Tali-fu, is the chief city of
one of the districts, or Fu," of the Province
of Yunnan. The capital of the Province is
Yunnan-fu, nearly two hundred miles south east
of the city which has just been devastated by
the Chinese army. The Mohammedan rebellion
is one of the chronic sores of the Chinese
Empire. 1t has existed since 1855, having
swept the entire western and northwestern line
of provinces. In 1862 it attained its greatest
and most formidable dimensions and threatened
to overtun the existing dynasty. Of late years,
however, the Mohammedans have gravtated
toward Yunnan, great province in the ex-
IRENE southwestern corner of China, bounded
exteriorly by Siam, AMMAN, Burmah and Laos.
Ever since the first years of Mohammed, this
province has been permeated with the inhu-
ences Of the doctrines of the Prophet. AS
long ago as the time Of Marco Polo, that
Father of Oriental History found the inhab-
itants Of Carajan, as he called Yunnan, chiefly
"Saracens and Idolators." After the rebellion
of 1855 had made sufficient Roadway against
the Imperial Government, the Mohammedans
chose ruler or chief At last accounts, all of
Western Yunnan was virtually an independ-
ent State, Sultan Suleiman, as he was called,
being the head Of the Government. The Chi
nese Imperial power was too weak or too in
doent to compel the submission Of these
rebels or reduce this interior kingdom 10
subsection. Something like annual tribute was
paid to the tax-gatherers of the province, and
the local Chinese authorities having satisfied
their raDaoity. the seceders were let alone.
This sudden explosion in "The CLOUDY
South as the name of the province APPLY
signifies, will attract the attention of the civil
lied world to the interior condition OF China,
and especially to the unknown region where
this bloody drama has been enacted Until
Mr.. Il. II. Cooper, an adventurous English
nan. endeaVored to explore passage across
