Yesterday there stood before JAY
GouLD's Tribune rum shop a man carrying a
large banner, on which were written in flaming
letters these words: " Beware Of the Devil and
his Wife. Rum and Tobacco" aud on the other
side, "Oh. for Shame;" the latter device In
tended 20 bring a blush TO the cheeks Of those
debauchees who entered that temple OF intern
perance. This was we'll. But there should
have been displayed there another banner. with
these words emblazoned ON 1t: " Beware OF JAY
GOULD and Hypocrisy, stock Jobbing and
Gush." non, Shame on JAY GOULD and his
Stool Pigeon" The evils Of rum and tobacco
may be great and lamentahle, but the moral o.
liduity OF JAY GoULDs tribune Is an evil OF ap.
paling gravity.

II is reported that the friends OF Mr..
NEW, lately Treasurer OF the United States, are
ohaRrined because he leaves Washington with
out any acknowledgment Of his eficient ser
vices from GRANT. But why should they feel
unhappy about it2 It is good evidence that
Mr.. NEW was honest and capable, that he gets
no such parting certificate OF character. GRANT
reserves these compliments for his corrupt sub
ordinstes. The honest ones he turns out with
out character, as Mr.. BRIsTow. for instance,
while he parts with BELKNAP with resat, and
with LANDAULEr WILLIAMS with deep sense
OF his obi cations to him. MIR. NEW has reason
to give thanks that he has no letter Of recon-
nnendation from GRANT. 1t suggests that he
has been faithful and incorruptibe official.

ter go to work In earnest and exterminate the
rascally Administration In Washington, which
involved the country in an unnecessary war,
after supplying the Indians With better arms
than were given to the troops sent against them.
II is the Republican Administration that Is
really responsible for the lamentabe death OF
CUSTER and his associates, and for all the evils
that are likely to grow out Of that deplorable
event; for In addition TO gross mismanage-

Must Man stand sull to be Cowhided ,

Does the law of the State of New York
require that a man should stand still to be
cowhded? II he has a revolver in his
pocket, does the law prohibit his pulling
II out aud shooting his assailant dead on
the spot
One of our statesmen has acquired great
glory from the reputation OF having gwen
the order, If any man attempts 10 haul
down the American flag, shoot hun on the
spot" Must Il man who would be required
to execute such an order stand still and
refrain from shooting an enemy who at
tempts at once to intict pain and disgrace
upon him by blows with u cowhideG
There may he no danger Of death result
ing directly from such blows; and yet,
where victim is cut severely across the
eye, as Mr.. BERDEIL was by Mr.. WIsNER
MURRAY, erysipelas might set in, especially
in this hot weather. aud kill him. But
whether there is absolutely any great dam
ger of death or not, we think the feeling
would be very strong in the community
that a man who is violently assailed in n
public place, with a cowhide. may shoot
down his assailant; and more especially
whore two men attack one, ~ in the case
at Goshen. If tins is not law. there is u
general feeling that II ought TO be.

The Newark Verdict.

The verdict Of the Coroners jury in
the matter Of the recent slaughter
at Newark maintains the traditional
reputation OF this class Of judicial pro-
ceedings. Three Infatuated wretches,
more resembling wild beasts than hui
man beings. were rushing about the
streets Of Newark, Strengthening not only
those toward whom they entertained en-
nifty but also uuoffending persons who
happened TO present themselves in way
TO form good target. After having killed
several persons, they attempted to swim
across n stream. Their first object undoubt-
eddy was 10 escape the fury Of the crowd
who were pursuing them but there is no
evidence that they intended, il they sue
ceeded in reaching the opposite bank Of
the river, 10 desist from further slaughter
Had they been permitted to swim across
and land on the other side, before being
captured they might have slain half a
dozen other persons. Judging from what
they had already done and attempted to
do, this seemed highly probable. Under
these circumstances, these three bloody
nurlerers werestoued to death. And what
say the Coroncr's jury2 They say that
the attack ON tho THELHoRNs while in
the water was warranted" They init
mate Notwithstanding, that the result was
satisfactory TO the community"
Now, Newark must be pretty bad COM

isftIctiOn among its inhabitants ut the

How Sleeping-Car Thefts are Made

A discovery was made recently on
a sleeping car on the Little Miami
Railroad, which lifts heavy load of
suspicion from the conductors and
porters. 1t is always the case
when passenger in sleeping car is
robbed, that the porter or conductor
first fall into disreputc. Then if they
are not found to be guilty, it is taken
for granted that thieves are in some
Of the berths, and honest passen-
gers are made uncomfortable by
being suspected of being common
thieves. a lady made the discovery
above alluded to. She was awakened
at a point where the train stopped for
water, not at station, by finding a
mans hand rummagiug her berth for
valuables. She gave the alarm but
too late to catch the man, but in time
to make the discovery that the thief
was neither conductor, porter nor
passenger but a scoundrel who reached
tho open window of the berth from
the outside, by standing on the chains
or rods that stretch below the car,
near the edge. 1t is not a comfort
able position, but it enables an expert
thief to make pretty minute inspec-
ton of sleeping berth without enter
