MIR. JOHN ]. PATTERSON is the new
United States Senator from South Caro-
lima, elected by the Republicans, and, pos
sibly, to be greeted by motion for q com
mittee OF investigation before he has
warmed the scat Of his senatorial arm
chair. The charge of his having bought
the legislature of his State is made against
him in the most unequivocal terms, and
an opportunity ought to be given him to
tisprove it ii not true. That he denies it
was to be expected, but simple denial is
not sufficient, and ought not to satisfy
either the public or himself where the &C.
cusation is SO grave and circumstanLlal.

TIE AVERAGE OF CRnLE.-Some inter.
esting facts orc deduCed by the New
York Post from the statistics Of crime,
published by the Baltimore Gazette, for
the year 1872. The most obvious is tho
stable ratio maintained between the
criminals and the population. Thus, as
10 the suspicious characters" arrested
monthly, the figures run 81, IS, 12, 81, 81,
90, and so on through the year. The
number OF Migrants increases steadily
from January to July, and then declines
again as cold wGatherNcomcs on. The
number Of assaults and batteries seem to
move in the same cycle-l99 in January,
1877 in February, 14G in March, and so on
up to 200 in July-due no doubt to the
intlammatory character OF the weather
After that 1t decliuesagain. Wile'beating
shows similar tendency, the figures fall.
ing off in the winter months ana reaching
their maximum In mid summer. That
the same law should hold good, however,
with regard to intoxication seems some,
what strange. Yet the figures show
heavier drinking in July than in any
other month. In January 4lO, in Fcbru.
sry 72O, in March $40, and so until July
1927, August 1,949, September LII, and
then rapid decline.
Similar observation have been made in
other cities, and really seems that the
weather furnishes u better excuse for
misdoing than has generally been sup
posed. Mr.. Clearance King, in his "AIoun.
taineering in the Sierra Nevada" has de-
clarct his belief that the pccularities OF
the western temperament are largely
owing to the sparkling and eXuberant
atmosphere OF that region, and such
statistics as those given above seem to
warrent the correctness ofhis observation.
The same law holds good in other conn-
tries, tho ratio OF crime to population
VARYING but little from year to year. Can
Il DO possible that predesliuation and ireO
will must yield to heat and cold as res
ponsiblc agents for human morality!

THE METROPOLITAN Is the title Of q

very crcditable, but its politics is so far
behind the times that without some
amendment in that direction We doubt il
enough congenisl public sentiment can
be found within reach to make the enter

litical questions does not go backwards.
In spite Of seeming fluctuations there is

THE PoStoff1Ce Department will put
into practice this week, in seven large
cities, the new arrangement Of having
newspaper mails made up and labelled in
the publication Office and sent direct to
the railroad depots without going through
the postofElCes at all, thereby saving much
time. The first intention was to detail a
postofTlce clerk for each newspaper office
for this purpose, but this has been aban-
doned, and each office will now be per-
mitted to prepare Its own mails.
