some proof that he is honestly supporting
himself-that it will be the worse for him.
There are those who are we'll informed upon
such subjects, and who think that the new
law, enforced as Superintendent Matsell in
tends to enforce 1t, may well'nigh clear this
city Of its thieving population in a charmingiy
short period of time. Chapter 357 is the most
startling in terroren which our pickpOckets,
burglars, cOunterfeiters, forgers, and profess
sional thieves have for long time enccun-
tered. Nothing could be moro likely to lead
them to consider their ways and be wlse'
They will constantly be Swallowed, and they

themselves where men do most congregate-
they will be careful how they show

in any public places whatever. Ihey

vain. They will seek relief by subornation OF
perjury to no purpose. They will find the
abb snare and a delusiOn. They will get
no comfort from the quips and quirks OF
Tombs attorneys. For years, in addition 10
the crimes which they have industriously com
mitted, they have been sedulOusly creating
for themselves a bad reputation. Society
wants no dangerous class; they have insisted
upon establishing one, of which they are
themselves members, and for this, If for
nothing else, they are Justly liable to punish

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY IN HONOLULU.

Il
The wretched luck which pursues American
diplomacy all over the world has now over
taken Mr.. Fish in the Sandwich Islands. Our
Secretary of State addressed to Mr.. Peirce,
the American Minister at Honolulu, conf
Dental letter of instructions, in view of the
expected negotiations for a reciprocity treaty,
and the confidential letter of course has
got out, as the secret dispatches of our
State Department generally do. Mr..
PIERCE runs wildly about, clapping his
hands upon the escaped document wherever
he finds it, and trying to force it
back into secusion but the more violent his
efforts to suppress it the more it is talked
about and the less, probably, do the Islanders
like it, Indeed, if Mr.. Fish wants to make
friends in Hawaii he has been singularly un-
fortunate. He reminds King Bill and his sub
jects that, while we may not be disposed to
grant them reciprocity with the United States,
we do not mean to let them seek that boon
in any other quarter. if we can help tor, in
diplomatic language, that America would
"regard it as an unfriendly act for any Power
"to attempt to enter into any especial treaty
relations with the Sandwich Islands that
"might be adverse to American interests"
No doubt Gen. Grant still dreams of annex
atiOn and longs for a Kanaka State over
which new Caseys and Packards and Durells
may diffuse the blessings of Republican Adj
ministration, and his first impulse is to warn
off all intruders. But by what. right he
assumes to interfere in the private concerns
of this little distant group Of islands,-by
what right he undertakes to say that they
shall not invite an English, or French, or
German protectorate if they are foolish enough
to wish for one, it would puzzle Mr. Fish to
explain. The disclosure of the dispatch to
Mr.. PIERCE will have an unfavOrable effect
upon the Presidents plans. 1t will make us
no friends and it will go far to destroy what
little desire for annexation to the United
States may possibly exist among the native
inhabitants.

CoNNON IND NOTORIOUS.

The law, which is or should be the perfec-
ton of human wisdom, has always regarded q
bad reputation as fact capable of being
proved and as quasi crime worthy of pun
ishment Upon this idea the whole practice
in regard to second and third offenses is based,
as well as that of permitting criminals in
their own defense to put in evidence of good
character. The Habitual Criminal is char
acter which cannot be ignored by those
charged with the preservation Of the
peace. Prevention as well as pun
ishment must be resorted to. and when
a professional thief, known to the police as
such, is found under circumstances which
render 1t probable that be is intending to en-
gage in his vocation, there is no reason why
it should not be taken for granted that he is
mingling with the crowd for mischievous
purposes. No overt act is necessary to justify
the law in interfering. The offender is guilty
before the oifense. He has picked pockets by
presumption, and must be punished accord
ingly. He has thrown away o good character
if he ever had it, and he has acquired bad
one; and consequently he must be restrained
Of his liberty for time sufficient TO prove 70

George Warrington, trolling out his ballad, cor

dulging in all manner Of satire and oddly and
kindness, is right pleasant member of the old

sigh for his pangs and pricks of fortune. He was
not rich this kind fellow but did he ever lack a

this modern member Of the Temple, who writes to
an English daily describing his despair and his help

He has others dependent upon him, and is willing TO

called TO the Bar the limitations as to age shut out
all Government and almost all mercantile clerk

for every vacancy, however small, there scores

the late James Fisk, jr., has been carried to that

her volume of unreliable verse. Her claim rests
upon her bare assertion unsupported by particle

Our Civil Service, which we have high authority
for saying is the best upon this planet" has just
found happy illustration III an uptown Internal
Revenue District. where the Assessor was suddenly
transformed into Collector. He expressed lively
desire TO retain in the service of his assistants
who had served honestly and intellgently from tho
Inauguration of the Internal Revenue system TO the
present time; but felt compelled regretfuly to in
form his faithful subordinate that he could not re-
tain him in office because of his inability to become
one OF his tthe ColleotoTs bondsmen or TO procure
q competent bondsman for him. He could do neither
the one nor the other. and so had to transfer his
services TO other fields Of labor. Ali this goes
to show that under the best system of
Civil Service upon the planet it doesn't pay to DO
honest and faithful. The Assistant Assessor In
question was in charge OF whisky-distilling and
beerbrewing division, that his opportunities for
making something were what the average Office
holder would have considered very good indeed

attention 10 the welfare of his own exchequer. and

Now that the business season has
opened, il would not be out Of place TO
call the attention Of the police authori'
ties to the many acts ofinhumanity and
cruelty committed by the drivers Of
dumb animals. Many Of the finest
passages In the English language are
directed toward this subject. Lawrence
Sterne's charming but pathetic deserip'
ton Of the poor ass, overloaded and
fallen TO the ground beneath the blows
Of lis savage owner, while the poor ami
NAL turned its eyes upon the human
brute, as II expressing in mule slo-
quenee the words, Don't beat me any
more; am unable TO rise beneath the
load, has caused more than one tear
TO flow from the eyes Of the sympathetic
portion OF humanity.
In New York Mr.. Berg has made a
successful war upon those who torture
quadrupeds to death or kill them by
overlooking or goading them into over
exertion. This action Of Mr.. Berg has
been the cause Of the establishment in
other cities of societies for the proven
ton of cruelty to animals, resulting in
the most beneficial effects and protecting
the lives Of dumb brutes against the
cruelty Of their masters.
We have been induced to write the
above by hearing complaint made by
one Of our leading cotton and grocery
merchants against drivers who over
loaded drays. On Saturday last he wit
messed Eve negro drivers goading into a
trot, up the hill on Madison street, their
unfortunate mules, above each Of which
lowered five bales OF cotton, weight Of
2lOO pounds excluding the weight Of the
dray. Each yelling driver was trying
TO force his mule from trot into run
in order to get ahead, each poor animal
receiving a terrible lashing with the
whip, when beneath the tremendous load
the mule was hardly able to walk stead
lily. Calling policeman, he stated that
there was an ordinance which provided
that three bales of cotton was load for
one mule and FIVE for two mules, and
that gait faster than walk was pro-
hibited. The policeman answered that
he believed there was such an ordinance
but that it had long since fallen into
disuse. Now, if such an ordinance ex-
lists, its enforcement should be revived,
and if it does not exist such should be
enacted. Let the matter be looked into
by the authorities, and let the dumb an-
finals be protected from overlooking and
being made the objects of the keenest

stolen Mules Recovered.

In August last George Joiner (col-
ored), residing on the Memphis and
Somerville plank road, lost horse and
mule. A few days since he recognized
his property at Friar's Point, Mss. The
holders of the horse and mule stated
that they purchased them from the no
torious horse thief, Captain j. S. White,
whose deeds at horse stealing and Jail
breaking are notorious. Joiner arrived
here to-day in order to secure letters
from Chief Athy as to his identity and
the loss Of his property.
