Unnecessary Cruelty.

A drunken man is brute, but he
hardly merits brutal treatment from
the officers after arrest. An insane
person is an object of pity, and he
may be very difficult to handle, but
only an officer who is too much the
brute to be entrusted with the reason
bereft, would deal harshly with him.
Yet instances of unnecessary cruelty
on the part of officers in both cases
are of frequent occurrence in San
Francisco, and, for aught we know,
in other cities. Only few evenings
since drunken man was brought to
the San Francisco city prison and
thrown into dark cell, into which
but small quantity of air could PEN
citrate. A few hours after the poor
wretch was found dead. That man
died Y victim to the brutality Of the
officers. True, he was poor, misera-
BILE wretch, whose appetite for drink
had reduced him to the level of the
brute, but he was man and deserving
better treatment at the hands of the
officers. If we had turned the key on
that man we should pray God to for
give us for the brutal murder Of a
helpless human being. We have
seen, not once, but several times, a
policeman treat insane persons in his
charge as unfeelingly, even harshly,
as if they had been hardened crimi-
nails. Such officers are men whom a
little brief authority makes play such
fantastic tricks before high Heaven as
cause the angels to weep. In their
vocations as preservers of the peace,
policemen are called upon to deal with
the infirmities and vices to which
is prone, but they are rarely
called upon to kill prisoner. Deal
kindly with the erring and unfortu-
nate, is advice which the modern po-
liceman ought to heed.

Shipping Disasters.

BALTIMORE, March 27th.-Captain
James, of the steamer Nuremberg, re-
ports that on March the 22d he saw a
schooner with her ensign at half-mast.
He sent boat back on board, and she
proved to be the Geo. S. Frogg, of
Prince Edwards Island. He took
some men off at their request, who
stated that they belonged to st. Marys,
Newfoundland, and were fishermen.
March I'd he saw ship ice bound near
the coast and went out to her. He
met the Captain on the way. The
crew had already left her. After
searching the ship he made for land.
The ice had opened and he could not
reach it. Seven of the number were
frozen to death during the night. He
went aboard next day leaving nine
men on the ice, three of whom were
saved afterwards. They drifted about
on ship until March 18th, when the
schooner took them off.

window in their night clothes. There
was no time to save anything. All
were soon out except three men
named Finnerty, Shea and A. c. Han
sen. Every exertion was made to
save them, but to no purpose. When
the fire died out the body of Finnerty
was discovered-a charred mass. The
others were buried so deeply as not
yet to have been obtained. Shea was
collector for the contractors of San
Francisco who are furnishing freestone
for the Arsenal, and has a wife and
child in San Francisco. Hansen was
engaged in the interests of the same
parties. He was a formerly Scandi-
navian lawyer in New York city.
Finnerty was bricklayer. Richard
Lodge was badly burned about the
head and face, but will probably re-
cover. The property is total loss.
No insurance.

The people of California are accus-
toned to think that GEORGE G. Cor
HAM will hold the position of Secre-
tary of the United States Senate as
long as the Republicans retain
bare majority in that body. In this,
it seems, we are mistaken. Gentle
men we'll informed in affairs at Wash
ington report that GEORGES popular
ity is on the wane; that he is person
ally obnoxious to many Republican
Senators and is not favorite with
any of the Democrats. 1t is charged
that he has so identified himself with
lobby rings that his reelection need
not be looked for. This may be true
or it may not. GoRHAM knows the
art of making friends, and when he
makes fight he is hard to defeat

Chavez I'm InyO County.

SUMNER, Cal, March 26th.- Five
passengers arrived from Panamint on
to-nights stage. They report that
Chavez with eight men, captured the
station at Lower Lake, Inyo county,
on the night of the oath inst. They
tied up five men and took all the
money and valuables they could find,
helped themselves to four of the stage
company's horses and left without un-
tying their victims. One man sue
ceeded in getting loose about two
hours after the robbers had left and
released his companions. Chavez
camped in sight of the station and
did not leave until 10 o'clock the next
day.

SAN FRANCISCO, March Goth. Dis

here all day yesterday and until the
middle of the afternoon. This morn
ing there was strong northeast wind
blowing.
The celebration of the obsequies of
John Mitchell was arranged to take
place yesterday, but they were post
poned on account of the inclemency
of the weather to Sunday next, when
a turnout on grand scale is ex-
pected.

SOME would-be CONSTITUTE onal tink-
ers propose that ex-Presidents shall
become Senators for life. The people
Of the United States do not want life
Senators, nor do they want any Sena-
tors except such as they elect them
selves. These ex-President Senators
would represent no one, or rather they
would misrepresent the whole nation.
If the people in the State where the
ex-President resides do not see proper
to elect him a Senator, he had better
rest on his presidential laurels.

him and stated his purpose to induce the

price Of the estate referred to. The re-
ply was $780, Mr.. Quincy said that
would do, and asked thirty days refusal
and Il bond Of it, in order to e~ndeavorto
persuade the City Cosncil toagree to the
measure. Mr.. Brown said that he
should give no bond, us his word was
his bond always. The Mayor took his
word, and in twenty-eight days had OBJ
tanned the proper authority and again
waited on Mr.. Brown, saying that he
had come to complete the sale of that
land.
