WI til no especial case in view, We
might venture to suggest that little
reformation in the matter of accepting
bail for criminals, and the collection
Of forfeitures on bail bonds, in the
courts Of Kentucky, is needed. Alb
solute ownership Of real estate to the
full amount of the bond should be re-
quired in all cases aud payment to
the last farthing enforced If we would
insure the forthcoming of criminals
for trial. As well show too much
leniency to murderers as to the bonds.
men Of criminals; and the officer or
court that practices the "compromis-
ing" game Sin this day and generation,
does II at his own peril. Att time in
the history Of the country have the
people Of the Com monwealth taken
such an interest in the proceedings Of
our courts as now. They stand ready
to approve the good acts Of their
officers, and unhesitatingly condemn
the bad.

THouGH the name Of Kentucky
abroad may be but the SYNONYM for
lawlessness and crime, she can proudly
point to a Governor whose integrity
stands mistaken by bribers' gold and
parasites Establishments, who feels
that he has some higher, nobler duties
than opening the prison doors Of
bloodstained assassins, or genteel cut
threats. even when it pays or wins a
dozen votes. Such has been his record,
and We may. with perfect confidence,
bank upon his future non-abuse Of the

IF the people of Kentucky are in
earnest about bringing to punishment
the violators Of law-ii they would in
sure the prompt and inevitable punish
ment of him who deliberately imbues
his monster hands in the blooa Of his
flellow-man-if they sincerely desire
that juries be found which will execute
the DEGREES Of God and nature by
stamping as a criminal him who tears
human life from its frail casket, and
casts upon the christian worlds cold
bitter charities, "A broken-hearted widow
and fearful group of helpless, desolate
orphans-let them speak out in
school, and fearlessly. boldly, enter
their condemnation against the bravo
does that infest the country. Public
sentiment, fairely and fearlessly express
ed, can make lawlessness odiOus. The
pulpit and press stands ready to open
the war against crime and criminals
of every class, individually and col
lectively, with vengeance, and effect,
whenever the people who are the suf-
ferers, morally, bodily and peculiarly,
show determined purpose to stand
by us and uphold us in the hazardous

TIE facts developed in the trial Of
the parties accused of the murder of
Ferill at Millidgeville last week fully
warranted the judgement of the court.
Though Ferill was upon the aggressive
during the day, and violated the peace
and good order Of the village the
killing could easily have been averted
had the parties whom he maltreated
placed that reliance in the strong arm
Of the law which il warrants. and have
had him promptly arrested for his dis
orderly and brutal conduct towards I'M
offending citizens. We must rely more
upon the laws of the land, and
promptly cause the arrest of all evil
doers-those who are guilty Of the
slightest misdemeanors as well as the
perpetrators Of the most shocking
crimes-and depend less upon our
strong arm and well loaded revolvers
and shot-guns for protection. So long
as We are cursed with the prolific
parent Of crime, whisky, in our
midst, making blood-thirsty savages
of peaceable and orderly citizens, we
must enforce the law against those
who patronize this fountain of crime
and thus become aw-breakers.
Hang murderers, imprison homicides,
and promptly punish all minor of
fences, is our motto. Desperadoes
must be punished-bm It is not neces-
sary that Everybody turn erecutioner
to insure their punishment!
