rested Jesse POmeroy at venture, ana nc mas
confessed the deed. He gives no reason for
the murder; it seems to have sprung from
mere brutal impulse and though he is alarmed
at the consequences of his crime, he shows no
appreciation of its character. A year and
half ago he was convicted and sent to the
Reform School after cutting and mutilating no
fewer than seven children, and he had only
been released few weeks son probation"
lacking still five years of the age when he
would have been legally discharged, when ms
old propensities returned in greater force than
ever and he advanced from mutilation to
murder.
The mania Of Jesse Pomeroy is not an un-
common form Of mental disorder. We have
heard of a lad of imperfect intellectual devel-
opment who was decent enough IN his be-
havior except for one thing he had habit
of taking small dogs, cats, birds, or other
animals to secluded spots. and tearing them
limb from limb. Their tortures perhaps did
not afford him any especial qualification, and
he could not have given an explanation OF his
cruelty. Hereditary tant of insanity Is very
apt to show itself in a mania for taking LIE.
Sometimes it assumes the form of tendency
to suicide. Often it is q hOmlcdal I'M
pulse directed against young children; and
the books mention numerous cases OF women
who have caused themselves to be put under
restraint because they were conscious OF this
terrible insane impulse and distrusted their
ability to control it, There can hardly be a
doubt that Jesse POmerOy is subject to this
form of mental disease Whether he is filter
for the asylum or the gallOws may be dill
cult question to answer. Insanity does not
always imply responsibility, because an IN
sane impulse is not always an uncontroliaDie
impulse, unatics often retaining not only the
ability to discriminate between right ana
wrong, but the power to choose between right
and wrong, which is quite another thing.
When Pomeroy was asked what he thought
ought to be done to him for killing the child,
he said, "I suppose l ought to be put where
50 can't do such things" Perhaps the au-
thorities can explain why this sensible con-
clusion was not reached some time ago. After
the Chelsea Outrages in 1872 it must have
been clear to every scientific observer that
the boy was no more fit to be at large than
mad dog. He was evidently afflicted with the
most dangerous form of insanity, and whether
we consider him responsible agent OF not ne
was equally a proper subject for restraint.
To turn him loose, after a short detention at
the Reform School, merely because his be-
havior had been good while he was under
constant surveillance, was an outrage upon
the community and the boy himself.

ARISE or MIL PRIYILEGES

"a live frog that was mailed at Galveston,
Texas, on the 4th instant, arrived safely at
"Dover, N. H., on Thursday last.n The above
paragraph, which has been going the rounds
of the press, Is striking illustration of q
growing abuse of mail privileges, which it is
full time should be put an end to. We use the
term privileges" inasmuch as the Government
performs the mail service of the country at
direct pecuniary loss, and every year Congress
is called upon to appropriate large sums of
money, raised by taxation. to make good the
failure of postage receipts to meet postal ex-
penditures. 1t ought also to be clearly under
stood that this annual deficit is annually and
rapidly increasing; it having been s3,7O0.OO0
in 1871; $4743,O0O in 1879; $6,1SS,O0 in 1873 |;

HANDS orr.
a purpose

We continue to hear of fresh talk in New
York, and fresh efforts in Albany, for legis-
lative reorganization of our Police and other
departments. The pretense is that this is
sought in order to make them bipartisan.
The reality is, that it is sought in the sole
interest of the less reputable wing of the Ad-
ministration party.
But no matter which wing of the Admins
traton party wants it. The case would be the
same if some wing or another of the Democ-
racy were working to the same end. 1t is in
any case q thing to be let severely alone.
New-York asks of the Legislature, as to the
details of its municipal government, only one
of two things Let us alone; or, Unite our
hands. Leave us with such make-shift gov
ernment as we now have, are accustomed to,
and can worry along with; or, take off your
hands altogether and let New-YOrk govern
herself, getting then just such government,
good or bad, as she is fit for and can deserve.
We are no admirers of the wretched patch
work of municipal government which We now
have; but bad as it is it is better than being
turned topsy turvy now, in the interest of a
faction of the party in power, only to be
wrangled over and probably upset again next
faction may then be in power. This imperial
city deserves to fulfill some higher
function in the economy of the State
than merely to furnish the camp
plunder for the riotous sOldiery Of the
successful army. The Administration party
is successful now and wants to use us. What
ever party is successful next Winter will want
the same thing. We do not think it worth
while to enter into the details of the plans
which are urged at Albany. 1t is not so much
the details to which we object as the whole
rotten system itself. We do not want any
party administering on our effects for its uses
If we are not to be permitted to govern our
selves, at least let us alone.
And for the comfort of the hungry politicians
at Albany we add,-what any sagaciOus polti-
clan will tell them,-that whoever undertakes
this Winter to make party capital out Of Albany
meddling in New-YOrk municipal government,
stands three chances of losing to one of gain
