Our Masquerading AssembIymen.

Our State Legislature has got to work,
that it has not yet had time to practice, and
the honesty which, if it has any, it will in
due time take care to parade. We note that
yesterday the mill of the Assembly was in
motion. Gnarled subjects, studded with
knots and covered with thorns, lay before
the Judiciary Committee, to be shaped from
the rude form in which they came from the
rustic members to the smooth straight, poll
ished articles which adorn the pages of our
statute books. Now, said the Chairman,
let buncombe bound from bench to bench in
the chamber there ours be the task to think
and ponder and debate upon the weighty
things that lie before us. All, fellow mem
bers, the courts, the laws machinery and all
that thereunto belongs right hefty is but
here is heavier matter for our minds Say
shall the festive French and the German
gay wear masks at public balls or no?
Concentrating their intelligences upon the
bill, they altered comma here and full
point there as solemnly as Lycurgus draft
ing the Spartan code, until they bore the
precious bill before the House. There
mouths still hot with inhamed language in
denunciation of dishonesty hastened to stop
themselves that the Masquerade bill might
go through. Once when Ireland was on the
verge of rebellion, the English Houses of
Lords and Commons stopped everything to
read three times each and so enact the sus-
pension of the Habeas Corpus act. 1t was
done and England was saved Such an
emergency was before the Assembly. Either
they should pass the bill, or the Germans
would come to Albany as the Marseillaise
went to Paris to overawe the Convention,
or the ten thousand Cornishmen went to
Exeter Ito know the reason why" They
would barricade all the avenues to the Capt.
tol with beer barrels and play from ten thou
sand groaning wind instruments Wagnerian
music by day and Bach fugues by night until
the Legislature surrendered. The French
would proclaim the Commune and the gore
of the Assemblymen would fill the cutters
Hence everything was surrendered to Momus
buncombe was bunged up, gush died on the
lips and the bill passed the Assembly. New
York has much TO hope from an Assembly
that has such keen perception of the
raonla's needs

The Case OF LandIs.

In this remarkable case it is already tes-
titled that Carruth was not killed by lands
bullet Dr. Joshua K Thomas of Philadel-
phia, who made the post-mortem examina-
tion, says it is true, that ''the primary cause
of death was a gunshot wound" but his own
fuller statement takes from this phrase all
the sense that might be dangerous to the
prisoner He found the bullet resting on
the tentorium cerebri, the fold Of membrane
beneath the hemispheres, and which sepa-
rates them from the upper surface of the
cerebellum. The bullet was ''encysted, "
that is to say, membrane like that upon
which it rested had grown over and around
it. There was no pus at that point. In other
words, complete recovery had taken place as
to the injury done by the bullet. Nature
had provided by the ''cyst" in which she had
so carefully wrapped this intruding bullet
that it might remain there indefinitely with
safety to the mans life. Although recoveries
from bullet wounds in the brain are rare,
this is just what happens when they occur.
and when nature has taken these conserva-
tive steps recovery follows, unless some
other cause of death intervenes. What, then,
was the other cause that operated here and
killed the man? 1t is stated in the testimony
of the same doctor "The immediate cause
of death was the assesses" Assesses, as the
word was here intended, are pouches filed
with pus. There were four of these at diff
ferent points in the brain, every one re-
moved from the position occupied by the
bullet. These assesses caused the man S
DEATH but what caused the alb
scesses? Not the bullet; it could not
have gone in four directions. Be-
sides, one abscess was three-quarters
of an inch deeper in the brain than the bull
let went There was no pus near the bullet.
There the brain was healed. These alb
scesses were caused by the different doctors
who thrust their little silver crowbars, called
probes, into the substance of Carruth brain
in different directions searching for the bull
let. 1t appears that nature would have sus-
tanned the man against one penetration of
his brain. From the hole bored by the bullet
he might have recovered; but an assortment
of homeopathic surgeons coming in relays
and boring new holes with their probes was
too much for him. They killed him. But
how can DR.. Thomas say that ''the primary
cause of death was gunshot wound" when
he also deposes that the immediate cause of
death was the assesses; that there was no
abscess where the bullet was, and that the
assesses which caused death were made by
the probes? Evidently logic is not esteemed
in his school. The defence is to be insanity,
but it can be strongly reinforced by the evil
dence of the doctors for the prosecution.

BlackvelI's Island.

1t is only when an event happens like the
escape of Chatterton and the drowning of
Gardner that we get an insight into the mis-
management of the institutions on Black
wells Island A more remarkable case has
not come to the public knowledge in long
while, and tits not even necessary to assume
that Kidd, the fireman, murdered one of the
prisoners and deliberately allowed the other
to escape to fix a very grave offence upon the
Workhouse officials and the Commissioners
The proof of q complete want of discipline
in the institution is equally clear whether
the charges of the colored boatman or Kidd's
explanation is accepted. That a fireman
should be afforded any such opportunity as
that which Kidd unquestionably had is a
fact which cannot be explained away. The
Commissioners had so many previous warn
ings of the mismanagement of our institu-
tions on the Island that its continuance is a
surprise and disgrace. When the
present Board was appointed the Stockvis
case was attracting general attention, and
that brutality as well as negligence existed
in the department was only too clearly es-
tablished. We hoped that with new Com
missioners a better system and more thor
ough discipline would be inaugurated. The
action of Kidd demonstrates how vain was
that hope. Prisoners, it seems, are allowed
to walk about the Island, and in this case
they were able TO procure a boat and come
to this city, There can be no discipline
where such results are possible. The crime
charged against Kidd is in reality the least
important consideration affecting the case,
for had the discipline of the institution been
what it should be his offence would have
been impossible A great reform in the
management of our penal and charitable in
stitutions is needed, and it can be obtained
if the responsibility in the present case is
put where it rightfully belongs.

federal interference and enjoying peace and
renewed prosperity, with that of Louisiana,
to see how dangerous and injurious is such
policy
Whatever the people may forgive the re-
publican leaders, they will not, we believe,
again trust them with power if they con-
tinue to support unconstitutional and vio-
lent methods of government. Nor ought
they. If the republican party is to be ami
mated and moved by the spirit of Grantism ;
if it means to accept the violent and illegal
policy of General Grant if this spirit is to
rule in its councils what difference
can it make whether il renominates
Grant or takes some other man who
will but repeat and continue his errors?
What the people want is a change of policy;
a return to the safe paths of the constitution;
peace and good will, which cannot be got so
long as the party in power governs in def
ance of the fundamental law of the land and
of public opinion and public safety. If Sen
ator Mortons motion shall prevail in the
Senate, and if the republicans in that body
thus publicly and formally declare that they
do not hold themselves bound by constitu-
tional limitations, but that they will trample
on the fundamental law of the land for the
attainment of merely partisan purposes, they
will ALLEVIATE from their party justly and in
evitably, great mass of intelligent voters
without whose support they cannot hope to
carry the next election; and they will de-
serve failure, because their success under
the circumstances would be grave peril to
the country

An International Maritime Tribunal

The invitation Of the German government
to the other maritime States to unite in an
international conference to devise common
mode of inquiry into shipwrecks and dis
asters to shipping is very important step
in the right direction. In no other way can
the causes of accidents at sea be properly in
vestigated, or any effective measures be de-
vised for the prevention of the direful
calamites which are now Of such frequent
occurrence We showed some time ago that
our own laws are entirely inadequate to the
punishment of criminals like Thomassen, or
even of offenders of less fendish crimi-
nality. For inquiry into the causes Of dis
asters at sea we have no effective machinery
whatever, and it is very seldom that the loss
of q ship in the merchant service, either in
this country or in England, is made the sub
ject of searching investigation. Punish
ment is even less frequent Evidently new
rules Of international maritime law ought to
be adopted for the merchant service, and
Germany's suggestion is the first step in that
di-ection. Rules without a tribunal TO en-
