malfeasance Is such as would warrant the
People taking the matter into their own
hands and hanging some of the iniquitous Of
fcials to the lamp-post! But SHERIDAN very
mysteriously suppresses the names and de-
tails. Now this will not do. In its present
shape, SHERDAN's statement will only be re-
carded as piece of delusive humbng, uttered
with the purpose Of escaping blame and OF
ginning some public sympathy pending the
police row, and unsustaincd BY any facts.
To whom does SHERIDAN refer !? Is it
the Mayor? Is it clique Of Aldermen =?
Is it REIN, the Police Superintendent, or
HICKEY, the Deputy? Is it the Police cap-
tains? Is it q general decentralization OF the
police force? # the latter, why has the
Police Board failed to exercise its power to
reorganize and discipline it? Is it any one
or number Of these officials who have pre-
vented Mr. SHERIDAN from the proper dis
charge Of his duties, and who ought to be
hanged to 1amp-post? He has made very
serious charges, and he ought to snbstantiate
them or withdraw them. More than this,
they are not now in shape to command any
general credence, and will not relieve Mr.
SHERIDAN OF the responsibility which attaches
to him for the actual condition Of things,
which he himself acknowledges to bo snfi-
ciently bad to justify hanging somebody.
Come, Mr.. SHERIDAN, make good your words,
and expose the men who are SO gnilty, or
else hare the decency to retire without fur
ther struggle from an Office where you can no
longer be Of any service to the community.

Murder.

From the Shreveport Tilnes.l
1t is rarely we pick up a paper
published in any section or locali-
ty of the Union that we do not find
the report of a murder-in the ma.

by circumstances of peculiar bru-
tally This epidemic of blood
thirstiness has extended in our
midst, and scarcely week passes
in which we are not called upon
to chronicle some terrible deed in
which the fame and interest of
our community are concerned.
1t is very we'll for the press to
report these acts Of violence, and
for the people to express their
horror and Misrepresentation but it
is time some active measures were
being taken to check the evil /;
that the officers Of the law, every
where, we're manifesting a little
more activeity in ferreting out,
pursuing and capturing criminals;
that judges on the bench were
displaying something of the an
Gent rightly of the courts, and
that jurors Nere showing a dispo.
sition to deal out Juice instead of
maudlin sympathy to law break.

The root Of this evil is the So

age is no exception; with all its
enlightenment and b0asted reli.
gion, we doubt if humanity occu-
pies now as high a plain as it has
done in some preceding centuries.
And yet we, who most need them,
are striking down all the barriers
which have prevailed against
crime, since the first murder per-
petrated BY man. It has been the
practice since the Organization OF
governments, to regard robbers,
murderers and other criminals as
the enemies ofsociety, and to deal
with them as such, and the peni

and cut-throats, until the misera-

out sympathy for the guilty, to

punishment for murderers.

ing, respecting life and property,
only through the force and influ-
ence Of laws, defining rights and
furnishing violence; and when
ever those laws are relaxed, or
abregated, pr whenever it is sought
to supplant them by sentimental
theories, fit only to be applied
among perfect beings, the savage
instincts begin, in the worst clas-
ses, te again manifest their ener-
gy and assert their dominance.
The relaxation of law and the
spread of such mistaken theories,
in two ways encourages the in
crease OF crime; prejudice against
capital punishment and maudlin
sympathy for criminals is created
among the better classes, and a
consequent indisposition on the
part of courts and juries to en-
force rigid punishment of crime !;
while the fear of punishment is
thus banished from the minds of
bad men, and they recklessly in
dulge their worst and most brutal
passions. The instinct to kill,
extends from the lowest strata OF
society to that above, and finally
murder becomes rife is the land.
What we want is less sentimen
tally; fewer new tangled doc
trines, a rigid enforcement Of the
law. 1t is time for the new
schools Of social philosophers to
cease sublimating the hard mate
rial facts Of life, and for the
courts, juries and sheriffs to be.
gin ferreting out criminals and
breaking necks. Whom lawless
rascals rob and swindle, let them
be given the maximum instead Of,
as heretofore, the minimum sen
tence of the law; and ii human
bloodhounds insist on butcnefing
their fellow men, let them have
the gall0ws.
This is true, and the only
true, philosophy Of the abatement
OF crime, and the penitentiary and
the gallOws are it's cardinal prin-
Iciples. When We abandon these
and seek to deal with the vicious
elements Of society through the
new tangled doctrins Of the time.
we simply foster and encourage
what it is design to repress.
