Another Foul Murder.

Murders ore becoming more and more the
sensation of the day. In New York and
sister cities they are of daily and nightly
occurrence. The evil is spreading and as it
spreads 1t is assuming grosser and more
offensive forms. In the city of Baltimore on
the evening of the I'd Mrs. Mary Ann
Lampley, aged seventy two years, was found
lying in her house brutally murdered. The
old lady, it seems, had been left alone during
the absence of her husband and daughter at
the theatre. The case is as yet involved in
some mystery but from the fact that some
lOne thousand two hundred dollars were taken
from the house, as well as the jewelry on
Mrs. Lampley's person, it is natural to con-
|clude that plumber was the object which the
murderers had in view. When an aged lady
cannot be left alone for an hour or two in her
own house without running the risk of being
murdered it is time for us to be ashamed of
our civilization. Crime is on the increase
an the midst Of us, and it must continue to
Toe so so long as the worst offences against
law can be committed with impunity. Our
laws are good enough. What is wanted is
The execution of the laws. A few months Of
rigorous justice and some wholesome exam
piles would do world of good. When will
the reign of law begin and the reign of
license cease?

Governor Washburn's Inaugural Adj
dress.


Having been chosen the second time to fill
the Executive chair of the Old Bay State
Governor Washburn has delivered an ex-
cellent address to the General Court upon
the affairs Of the Commonwealth. His
financial exhibit informs us that the aggre-
gated funded debt of Massachusetts is less
than twenty-eight million dollars, it having
been reduced by two millions during the year.
He congratulates his constituents upon the
near completion of the great bore known as the
Hoosac Tunnel, through which Boston expects
\ profitable current of trade with the West.
Labor and wages receive due attention, and
the Governor wants statistical light upon this
subject, which is bound to stir society and
puzzle politicians. He also talks about the
new State Prison, which, he says, should be so
constructed as to keep the young and less
hardened from the demoralizing contact of
the incorrigibles, and the fair sex should have
q separate place of confinement. One of the
best suggestions in the speech is that the legis-
lative session should be short. He evidently
concurs in the democratic sentiment that as to
lawmaking "the government is best which
governs least" Congress and the Legislatures
of other States might we'll take the hint about
short sessions.

Drawbacks to Colonial independence.

Drawbacks to Colonial Independence.
In discussing the question of colonial indie
pendence the ST. John IN. b. Globe remarks
her mind to discover her relations with England
no Englishman would do anything to stop her,
and many would be glad to let her go; but,
significantly adds the Globe 'the present
leaders in Canada will not take any steps to
make the Dominion Independent SO long as
they can persuade England to guarantee her
loans and to create baronets and knights Of
themselves and their friends" These con-
siderations should not have much weight in
discussing the question whether or not the Do
minion of Canada shall become free and in
dependent republic. and, like the United
States, take care of her own loans and titles OF
nobility. 1t may be here mentioned that at
the time Of the American Revolution small
party wished to retain titles of rank and the
prerogatives of aristocratic and privileged
classes, but the plain republican sentiment
overwhelmed the adherents of mock nobility,
and they finally dwindled into country squires
and Georgia majors AN aristocracy that exists
to this day. When the Dominion of Canada
becomes republic, as in proper time it surely
will, the almighty dollar" is as likely to be
the ruling element Of her people as it is as
serted to be that of her cousins across the ST.
Lawrence at this time, and all thoughts of q
blue FLOODED nobility will be sunk into insig-
nifcance when weighed in the scale against
dollars and cents, or pounds, shillings and
pence

Sandwich Islands, and generally as to what may be
the ultimate territorial and governmental position
Of the Hawaiian group consequent on the death OF
His Majesty King Kamehameha the Fifth.
The writer in the London Times says the journal
must confess "that the Americans will eventually

annexation by hlibustering as heretofore practised
