SHOOTING DoGs.-Wc suppose it is necessary
in every town of any consequence to have pub
lie dog-pclter, the lowest office known to ciyili
cation, This office may be necessary where
there are dogs without owners; but this Office
should never be ntrustcd to a man who is devoid
of judgement or refuses to use such discretion
As the law places in his hands whereby he may
fulfill the law, and yet not outrage private rights
nor wiliully destroy property, because some
dogs are valuable to their owners.
The present dog shooter has been known to
prowl around back yards and shoot dogs not ten
feet from the kitchen doors of their owners On
Thursday he shot Il valuable dog in this way:
When the dog was almost in the act of return
ing through the fence to its kennel, having been
ont but moment, and having escaped from con-
tincmcnt by an accident. The dog had a collar
on with the owners name upon ii, and the own
cr would have been glad to have been warned of
the dogs escape. The dog shooter could have
notified the owner Of the dog or the gill at the
kitchen door without moments trouble and
been rewarded for his trouble.
If the dog, shooter shall not aspect peoples
rights, he WA surely get into trouble Some
one who prizes dogs life as much a, Sander
sons, or more may retaate in a moment of pas
sion in Il fearful way,
Is it not a matter of much doubt that the city
can be blcd smartly in damages for every yalu-
able dog killed in the manner above mentioned.

The additional light thrown upon
the Virginius capture by the news
received from Spanish sources only
show more clearly how grave are
the questions involved, and how
heavy will be the responsibility OF
the Spanish government if it shall
not disavow the acts of its agents,
and make abundant reparation.-
The question whether the Virginius
when captured, was on the high
seas is no longer in doubt, for by
the Spanish account, she was eight
cen miles distant from Cuba. THAI
she was flying the American flag a.
the time is confirmed; and it is al
so shown that all the arms on boarC
were thrown into the sea, and tha
no resistance whatever was made t.
