THE YOR'S ADDRESS.

Mayor Havemeyer has written to the Heads
of Departments and Bureau officers of the
City of New-York public letter of good ad-
vice. Recognizing his responsibility for the
behavior of the functiOnaries whom he has
chosen, he endeavors in fatherly spii1t 10
impress upon them the Importance OF close
attention to duty, and especially OF watchful-
ness over their subordnates, of economy IN
expenditures, and of wise independence IN
the distribution of appointments. lie has some
sharp rebuke for the maladministration which
has prevailed so long in nearly all the public
departments, dmakes bitter reference to the
"senseless clamors of the insane cOterie which
represents the corrupt elements,of the ne
publican party" and which fought 80 hard at
Albany for the control of our municipal re-
organizatiOn,-a reference which is certainly
well merited, though it possibly adds nothing
to the dignity of an official communication.
The particular measures of reform upon which
he most earnestly insists are retrenchment
clean streets, better sanitary supervision, and
a better criminal administration.
The Mayors letter will meet with cordial
response from all good citizens, and he may
depend upon enthusiastic popular support in
whatever he may do to give effect to his
recommendations. The reform which we be-
gan with the destruction of the Tammany
Ring is yet far from complete We have ex-
PEELED some of the chief offenders, but until
now we have done nothing either to prevent
a repetition of the old systems of oppression
and fraud, or to administer the public affairs
upon rational business principles. With the
4. Il uau hna
gathered around him, the second chapter In
the history of reform begins. Certainly we
have strong reason to be dissatisfied with
few of the appointments; but the new
administration, as whole, is the pro-
duct of the reform movement represents
the reform sentiment, and depends for sup
port entirely upon the better class of citizens.
It is bipartisan, and men OF all parties are
ready TO be its friends whenever it shows that
it deserves support. 1t enters upon It's course
untrammeed by political bargains and neces-
sites. 1t is bound to provide for no party
leaders, to consult no partisan advantages. 1t
is free to make of New-YOrk a very different
city from what it has been heretofore, and if
it do not accomplish what we expect of it
the fault will lie with the individuals com
posing it.
1t may not be superhuOus, however, to re-
mind the Mayor that he will continue to be
responsible for the administration which he
has chosen, and that if the departments are
managed without the zeal and efficiency for
which he pleads, the remedy will lie in his
own hands. When he has exhausted exhOrta-
ton, he must fall back upon the power of
removal. Under certain conditions he can dis
place any of the heads of executive
departments, and if he should make up his
mind to exercise this power fairly but freely,
the people would applaud his courage and

to kill. In other words, the country judge
held with the French jurist that the law con-
sidered man guilty until he had proved
himself innocent. The decision OF the Court
of Appeals restores the immemorial rule OF
English law, which presumes exactly the con-
trary.
It is too much to infer that this decision Is
to result in the acquttal of Stokes or In his
conviction of lesser degree of crime. lie
can now be tried with as fair chance Tor
himself and for the State as ever before. Perhaps
the list of surprises in this extraordinary case
is not yet exhausted. The disagreement OF
the Jury on the first trial was unforeseen. The
sentence in the second trial was nine days
wonder in the city. The reversal of this SEN
tence by the Court of Appeals mas
been the most startling event In the
whole drama In spite Of its obvious
justice and legality it will produce disa-
greeable effect among those who believe IN
prompt hanging as a civilizing agent. and all
thoughtful people will agree that there is some
thing wrong in our principles and methods OF
criminal law, which render it possible Tor a
homicide to be tried three times for the same
offense, simply because he and his victim hau
connections wealthy and influential enough TO
enlist the most energetic and skilltul meas
ures of attack and defense.

4 PRETTY PAIR OF JUDGES.

Many have taste for seeing specimens in
pairs, and we have before us accounts OF two
specimen Judges so lovely in character that in
this article at least they shall not be divided.
Our first wonder of juridcal energy and enthu-
sasm administers justice in the County Court
at st. Louis. Judges disposed to travel on
their muscular development have not been
altogether wanting in New-York; nor has the
row, shindy, clinch, or tussle been always
wanting in our temples of Law. But the
achievements of the st. Louis Rhadamanthus,
Judge Farrar, sHrpass anything of the kind
which we can now recall. 1t is not necessary
for the purposes of this narration to recount
how His Honor got into dispute with Attor-
ney Reese; but Judge and lawyer we may say
INDUCED in open Court in lively interchange
of language not in the least complimentary.
As soon az the Court had adjourned, Judge
Farrar threw off the ermine $50 to speak,,
and leaving the bench, waited in the vesti-
bue, like a tiger crouching for his prey, until
LAWYER Reese should come out. Then he
bounded upon the doomed barrister, clutching
him by the throat with both hands, and chok-
ing him until his face assumed the proportions
of q prize pumpkin, and his offending tongue
did piteously protrude. It must have been
scene unusual in the edifce of Themis. Two
lawyers, for a wonder of tho peace-making
variety, were tugging at the coat-tails of His
Honor. On the other hand, others, relying
upon their forensic powers of persuasion,
were begging the exasperated magistrate to
loose his grip. He did this when he was
ready. but he did MT do it minute before
Now, If every Judge who receives hint from
the bar that he is an ignoramus. as Judge Far
rar did, undertakes TO vindicate his eruditon
in this way, we shall have change in prao-
tce which will render court reports anything
but dull We can imagine scenes under the
new di5penSaton At once entertaining and

Fverything in the conduct of those reac-
Eonarv leaders who have for the moment
usurped power in France goes to indicate that
thew are seriously resolved to enter the lists
AGAINST democratic government and against
ali we have been in the habit of calling the
spirit of the age. We have before referred to
their sweeping removals of Projects and the
appointment of the old bureaucracy of former
regimes. They have followed this uD by send
ing secret circular to all the provincial au-
thorities suggesting the systematic corruption
and subOrnation of the press. Being accused
of this infamy by Gambetta in the debate
yesterday on the suppression of the COrsdire,
they had the cynical hardihOOd to admit and
to defend it. The worst sign which has as
yet appeared of the complete extinction OF
political morals among the majority is that in
the face of this terrible exposure they calmly
sustained the Government by larger major
ity than that which overturned the Theirs
Ministry. If this Assembly is let alone long
enough 1t will either ruin itself or France.
Judge Davis, in the Court Of Oyer and Ter
miner, yesterday, rendered an important deci-
sion on the constitutonality and construction
of the Habitual Criminals Law. This is a
wholesome statute, and its enforcement Is con-
sidered by all good citizens as likely to nd
the city of many of its professional thieves
and scamps. 1t was argued in the case
of Warner, arrested under the provisions of
the act that it was unconstitutional as viO-
lation of that clause of the fundamental law
which provides that trial by jury, in all
leases in which it has heretofore been used
" shall remain inviOlate forever" But the
Judge decides that this principle of justice is
not involved in the framing of the law which
merely enlarges the class already known as
disorderly persons. In other words, Migrants
and disorderly persons are not tried
by jury. PickpOckets and petty thieves,
previously convicted of crime, are now in
cluded in this class of disorderly persons.
Warner was discharged, it is true, but on the
sole ground that his previous conviction was
not proved. 1t will be seen that the decls-
ion, which we print elsewhere, is liberal in its
construction of the law and the provisions for
its enforcement. Magistrates, on complaint;
or police officers, on information and belief,
may arrest or order the arrest of the suspected
persons. Their subsequent disposition is suf-
fciently indicated by the terms of the decs-
ion to which we have just referred.

The defense in the case of Mrs. Charlotte Lamb
tried at Trmbelle, MIMI. for the poisoning Of
Mrs. Ottoman, took the extraordinary course OF
offering to prove that Mrs. Lamb also poisoned her
youngest son. her only daughter, and Mr.. Garland.
1t was held that she was subject TO periodically re-
curing attacks of insanity Her deusiOn is said 10
be- that she has very often seen and cOnyersed with
ghostly vsitant which by pleading, argument and
command and by potent influence over her body
and mind forces her TO the crime Of poisoning shs

sometimes urged her to be resigned to the ills OF
life, aud sometimes to poison people, very singular
and eccentric spirit. Its method of argument was
if people were unhappy or sick, that they mish'

Tho prison arrangements of Windham County,
Connections, are of kind to soothe and charm the
obdurate heart. The Jail has farm of ten acres.
which is cultivated by the prisoners When then
labor is not needed on the land it is hired by out
siders. Sometimes one may thirteen or fourteen
prisoners armed with axes at work in the depths OF
the woods, with only one unarmed keeper In charge
of them, or shoveling in some distant ditch under
the same direction. All this has been done for the
last twenty-sx years. and in that time but three or
four prisoners have escaped Punishments are very
rare and the labor of these men annually produces
very comfortable sum for the county. The keeper
treats them with great kindness. Their surround
ings are neat and convenient. Every influence
about them is reformatOry and helpful. We see no
evidence that this humane and eleyating treatment
has any i'll consequence. We commend the kindly
tale to the author Of Never Too Late TO Mend"
