The old story. The grand jury adjourned yes
tcrday, and Jim Cross is again indicted. There
is not more innocent unoiicnding, well behaved
man in town, as everybody knows, than Gin
kross. He keeps the best hashcry in the city,
and all the grand jurors feed at his house The
court crier, instead of saying "Hear We, hear We,
this court is now adjourned" says "Hcar We, Jim
Cross dinner is ready" or supper" as the case
may be. Why Jim was grand juror-a very
grand juror, himself. Yet he is indicted. For
what? No matter. 1t wasn't for murder, nor
stealing nor fornicabattery; but it cost Jim-a
box of cigars TO get out of it. So much for feed
ing grand jurors so high that they get frsky

BURGLARS AT BAY.

CHICAGO, Ill., June 16, 1874.
desperate fight occurred here this morning, at
the corner OF Halsted and Erie streets, between
three police officers and some burglars, which re-
suited in the shooting and probable killing
OF Jack Allen, one OF the most daring and
notorious thieves in the country, and the
capture OF Dave Reggie, alias Rogers, or
One-Armed Dave, a scarcely less noied villain. The
burglars were spotted last night by Sheriff Nc
Donald, OF Sioux City, the train from Milwaukee,
In which city, on Saturday night, they robbed a
goods store OF several thousand dollars worth or
dry goods. 9. Mcdonald telegraphed to Police
headquarters here. ana three policemen met
the train at the depot; but the thieves catching
sight OF them, jumped IRON the car and ran. The
officers overlook them. and met with fierce resist
ancc on attempting to arrest them. Allen drew q
pistol and fired an Intellectual shot at Officer SIM
mons who returned the fire, one OF his shots
striking Allen In the side, penetrating his intes-
tines, and inictng, 1t Is believed, mortal wound.
Reggie also fought desperately but was finally
captured and Is now In jail. About $4,000 worth
OF goods stolen In Milwaukee were recovered. the
tnrd burglar made his escape.

PROGRESS OF THE RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN AGAINST
KHrvA Our latest dispatches from ST. Peters
burg inform us that the Russian army column
Of General Werewkin occupied Kungrad, one
hundred miles north of Khiva, on the Goth of
May; that thence the General had advanced
along the line of the Oxus to Khaijah and
Khunia Urgent, the enemy flying before him,
and that meantime the Russian fotilla had
entered the Bay of Aibuigir, on the southern
end of the Sea of Aral, or Salt Lake, wilere
depot of supplies was to be established for the
army column of Werewkin. In other words, the
advanced Russian army column had reached a
point within fifty miles of Khiva and without
resistance, the enemy flying before it as the
column advanced. 1t is probable that the
troops of the Khan are acting under instruc-
tons in these retreats, and that they are con-
centrating their forces at Khiva for decisive
battle. We expect, too, that General Wercwkin
in this battle will make short work Of the

The Sabbath day in the metropolis has OF
late years acquired on unenviable notoriety
for crime, especially where murder is con-
cerned but last Sundays record shows
lower degree of depravity than what we might
have been accustomed to from previous ex-
perience. The morning was signalized by
a family quarrel and general spree,
during which clad" of sixteen wound up a
domestic dsbauch with Ratchet, cutting open
his brother-in-law's head When the shades
of evening covered the city the knife was used
with deadly effect on two occasions-once on
account OF jealousy, and again the result of
rum. The laxity of our criminal law, by
which murder seems to be the safest
item on the calendar, and the condition of
affairs in this line, by which dozen MUIR
derers still defy justice in the Tombs,
will account for the cheap estimate in which
dangerous characters hold taking fellow
beings life. 1t may be regarded as an incon-
trovertible axiom in the annals Of crime in New
York at the present day that the cheapest arti-
Gle in the market is human life. The purloin-
ing of property, from the smallest sum
upward is attended with signal punish
ment. Burglars highwaymen and forgers
meet with stern justice when they are brought
before court, and they never find any COM
miseration, either from the public or the pre-
siding justice. But a murderer, unfortu-
nately, is lionized to such an extent and is
fortunate enough to have so many loopholes
of escape, that his crime seems to be the most
difficult to punish Our criminal code
should be simplifed and made more appli-
cable to murder cases. At present. where
blood has been shed, it is labyrinth Of ex-
ceptions pleas of insanity, new trials and such
like nonsense, SO that justice is often defeated
and the criminal escapes, until the dangerous
impression gets abroad that murder cannot be
punished. An execution or two, long after the
crime has been perpetrated, will not mend
matters. What we want is long rope and
short shrift and an end to the vexatous OBJ
stacles which interfere with justice Where
blood has been wilfully shed the life of the
perpetrator should pay the penalty. A few
executions in this city will prove Of meal
culable advantage.

The SEARCH FOR THE PoLARIs. We are
glad to learn from Washington that the
government has selected the steamer Tigress
as a courier in search of the Polaris. This
vessel seems to be specially adapted for the
purpose, and the fact that she was the in
strument of saving Captain Tyson and his
fellow voyagers from horrible death lends
additional interest to this new enterprise
of the Navy Department. The story of
the surviv ors has struck chord in the Amer
lean heart, and every one now is anxious to
hear what Captain Buddington and his associ-
ates have to say on the question. The war
steamer Juniata proceeds this week to Disco
and Uppernavik as an aoant courier to the
Tigress. We are confident that the expedition
will be successful, and that many useful hints
to future Arctic explorers will be CLEANED from
the search after the Polaris.

WASHINGTON, June 10, 1879.

WASHINGTON, JUHB TO, 1919.
Attorney General Williams has received an
Official telegram from New orleans from Governor
Kellogg in which the latter, contradicIing re-
ported interview with him, says:-
My requiltion calling on the President was fully
justified. and the Presidents proclamation has
had most salutary effect in all respects Taxes
are being paid more rapidly than ever before
in Louisiana. After providing for the January and
February interest we have over four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars In State funds tonight In
the hands Of the fiscal agents. We will pay the
March, April and June coupons early In July. The
injuncti0ns only restrain the payment OF the inter-
est on five series OF bonds out OF twenty-five There
is money enough TO pay the interest on all the
bonds in the hands Of the fiscal agents.
