In response to the charge of Recorder
Hackett the Grand Jury finds "that there is
an absolute necessity for such an ordinance"
as that of the Common Council tor the de-
struction of dogs, and also "heartily approves
of the object intended to be accomplished
thereby" But it believes that the present
execution of the law is improper and injuri-
GUS to public morals; recommends the aboli-
ton Of the reward now offered and the en-
ployment of men by the city as dog killers or
catchers If this should revive the old city
institution Of the dog cart and the dog killers
we doubt if the people will consider that their
sensibilities are less likely to be offended. In
the good old days, when there was Dicky
Riker in the land, and almost down to the
post pliocene period, when Mr. Havemeyer was
first Mayor, the city authorities used to formally
announce the time when the dog star would
rage, and on the given day havoc began. There
came forth an extra large cart of the common
dirt cart pattern, driven bya "culled gem
man"-for in those days culled gemmen had
all the unpleasant places-and behind it gen.
orally came two other culled gemmen of ath-
letic proportions, armed with clubs of four to
five feet in length, loaded with lead, and woe
to the dog that was out of doors at that partic-
ular juncture For him trip to the pound
would have been q picnic. His owner had
small chance to redeem him. Down on his
head came the loaded end of one of those
clubs, and he dropped. Then the culled gem
men picked him up, one by the fore feet ard
one by the hind feet, and sent him through
the air, and he fell with strange sound on
top of the dull, quiet load already accumu-
lated In our minds eye, Horatio, we can see
at this moment well remembered play
mate making that terrible journey through the
air. But it was always SO simple a ceremony.
Sometimes before the loaded staff came on the
dogs head some other loaded staff came on to
Sambos. Often there were savage fights be-
tween the city boys and the dog killers, and
often also the dog killers. who were fellows of
resolution, did not kill their dog the first time
and followed him the whole length of street
These were dog day scenes in the old times.
Our opinion is in full agreement with that of
the Grand Jury on the necessity of keeping
down the pest Of dogs and on the necessity Of
doing it more mercifully and decently than it
is now done. But we hope the city, if the
suggestion made is acted on, will not restore
the primitive dog killers.

PEOPLE oil the world, over who respect
order and comfy of feeling will rejoice that
the French government proposes to Ii NIT the
enthusiasm OF M. de Cassagnac, the Bona
partist editor of Paris. NJ. de Cassagnac has
been summoned before the courts to answer
the charge OF ''inciting citizens to hatred of
each other" and we presume he will be Sc
verey handled. The mistake OF this journalist
is in supposing that violence ever serves
cause, although the mistake may come from
the fact that Comparison is only another
name for violence. One Bonapartist leader
has been sent to prison for six months for
striking Gambetta in the face, and now M. de
Cassagnac seems ON the road to join his ally.
After all, MacMahon's government, weak as it
is, is certainly government OF order.

An UNANswERABLE PoINT. The Cincinnati
Gazette says with great force and truth that
Everybody knows that if the President should
allow it TO be supposed he would accept a
third term the whole army OF ofice-holders
would feel compelled to work and would
work for his nomination and would make the
Convention" This being the case, and no
one knowing it to be true more clearly than
the President, why does he not in imitation
OF his memorandum to Senator Jones, make
such a publication on the subject that the
most loyal oflice-holders would no longer be
in doubt?

THE United States Senate having passed

New York Herald makes fervid appeal to

country from financial ruin fft ~

To you, President Grant, we make this

branchof the Legislature would prove to
be really conservative has been disap-

Attention is called to the communication
of ''Taxpayer, in another column, in rela-
ton to the condition of tie public roads

in particular. 1t is common remark that
the roads Of Texas at this time are in most

most impossible. In the prairie regions
but little labor iszrequired to keep them in
good condition during dry. weather, and it
is only when the rains fan heavily and often
that they get bad, except the low places
where the water stands, more or less, and
the streams run. Such places require
bridges or causeways At least such places
should be thrown up 70 such height as to
prevent the water from running across and
over the road. The whole road system IS q
bad one, and the amendments to the
Constituhon should make such raai-
cal changes as Nilll require the peo-
pie Of the different precincts 70 keep

THE BRYAN MURDER.-We learn from
gentleman down on the evening train, that
three of the negroes who murdered Leakc
and outraged his wife, near Bryan, were
hung yesterday or the night before by,a
crowd of men, who took them out of Jail
for that purpose. Mrs. Leake identified
them; two were hung in the old English
style; the other, Mexican fashion, the rope
being noOsed, fastened around his neck and
he gradually drawn to the limb. The ne
groes were left hanging to the various
limbs. 1t was retribution for one of the
most fearful crimes ever read of in the his
tory of savage barbarism.
The above is from the Houston Age of
the second instant. Swift retribution has
fallen upon the perpetrators Of this most
.diabolical outrage, and will have its weight
in deterring others from like deeds. GEN
orally, il issfar better for the law to deal
with criminals, but there are casesrwhich
always SO arouse the people, that nothing
but instant vengeance will satisfy them.

THE StatS journal announced yesterday,
that it would hereafter suspend its daily
issue, but win, as usual, continue to pub
lish weekly paper. AS "a cause fir this
suspension, it ascribes combination. which
has seized its presses and thus put it to a
heavy expense and inconvenience in pub
fishing. The truth at the bottom of the
matter is, that the paper has not the patron
age to support it, and it.would have been
more graceful to acknowledge it.

NJ. De Morse has introduced bin into
the House, the provisions Of which require
sherifIs to advertise al property "a, Be sold
under execution. why this has not been
done heretofore, Is beyond our oomprehen-
sion, Z would Be 60 manifestly 70 the ben
eft OF All parlies, that there can be no rea-
son Why ahy one should oppose it, How
can The people generally know that property
is to be sold unless Il s adxeTtised Il win
net do3 81 that pOiioes posted a differ
ent public places viii be sufficient. Any
interested party who desired TO get the
property at a low hgurc could pun them
down, and It the sale have no CONNIE
titiOn, and thus be enabled to Get the
FOR very little. But If the
property were required to Be advertised in
some newspaper OF the. county, or II there
should not be one, then IN the nearest one
to the county Site Of far Circulation in the
county in which the property might be io-
Gated, the competition brought about by
such publicity, as a general rule, would Tar
more than pay fof the cost. Indeed, in
some cases The. difference in cash realized
would amnnnt 70 hundreds Of dollars. In
most cl the old States, the laws are very
positive and mandatory on ministerial Off
GERS, requiring them under heavy penalties
to advertise all property in one or more
papers OF fair circulation. The benefits are
50 obvious that it is deemed waste Of
words to recite them. We shall therefore
expect to see the bill Of Mr.. DeMorse
passed, without unnecessary delay, through
both branches. Of the Legislature, and be
by the Governor.
