ABOUT DOGS,

The day is at hand when, under our law
for the protection of sheep and other do
nestle animals, general and indiscrimi-
nate slaughter of dogs mot licensed and
collaied" will be entered upon. We re-
greet exceedingly that in the appointment of
dog constable" for Rutland, the trans
cendent claims of our most distinguished
dog fancier have been passed by. We Ie.
greet, also, much more, that his 'most
" faithful friends are subject to 'cruel
regulations, ana that these regulations
are to be enforced by individuals who are
as little wise" as "humane." But so it is,
and we must bow to the majesty of the
law and the power lodged with the select
men, and make the best of it.
We have been for years fondly hugging
the delusion that the world was growing
better as it grew older, but we tadly con-
TESS our mistake. We must, however,
make an exception. 1t is true that our leg
islators are carried away by the wild and
wicked idea that Sheep lambs, fowls and
other domestic animals are fully as neces-
sary in the economy of nature as are pups I;
and that the owners of dogs who kill these
animals should either pay the damages or
suffer their dogs to be killed-and here we
may remark, paIenthetically, that it is pious
idea that man who kills another should
himself suffer death, that one who destroys
the property of another should pay dam
ages therefor, and that one owning horse
or COW or other useful animal should pay
taxes thereon, but perish the thought that
dogs should be subject to taxation or other
restraint In this respect, at least, the
world is growing more wicked as it grows
older but we once In while find cler.
gymau-perhaps, TO be exact We should
say a "licentlate"-wh if he does not de-
monstrate in his own person the fact that
the world is growing better, at least shows
by the opini ms be expresses or borrowt
and adopts, that 1t is growing no worse.
1t is refreshing, in these degenerate days
to find that the salt has not entirely depart
ed from the earth, and that the church still
retains some Of the good seed. If we &c
back hundred and seventy years, to the
good old Puritan times, we find that the
Massachusetts legislature was composed Of
different class of men than that which
have cursed it in these latter days. Nc
such men were therein, as V rmonl is ac'
customed to ill her legislature with az

CONDITIONAL PARDoNs

There seems to be conflict in the law
of some of the western states in reference
to the effect of an executive pardon. They
have what they call conditional pardons;"
and, in Iowa, one who was pardoned by
the governor violated one of its conditions,
whereupon he was arrested and returned to
prison, but the court, on hdbedS corpus, or
dered his discharge, holding that viola
ton Of the conditions of his pardon must
be established by a regular trial end the
verdict of jury in the same manner tLat
he was convicted of the original crime. In
Wisconsin, on the other hand, Il pardoned
convict, who had violated the conditions of
his pardon, was confined in Jail until the
meeting of the court when he was at once
returned to prison without the formalty of
a trial.
Upon general principle, it would seem
that the same measure of proof should be
required to return a man 10 state prison
as to send him there in the first instance.
The law holds man innocent until he is
proved guilty, and the same rule would
seem to require that a man should be held
innocent of violating the conditions of Lis
pardon until his guilt was proved, as that
he should be held innocent of the crime
which cUnslgns him to state prison until his
guilt should be made to appear by compe'
tent proof, and be determined by the YER
dict of jury.
This would seem to be the reasonable,
common sense view of the matter, but when
evidence, as it is called, is received by tel
egrsph, acted upon as if it was legal proof
and reprieves granted to Condemned nur
derers by telegraph, We are not % sure tina
the Wisconsin rule is not more consoI an
with the spirit Of the ninteenth century
The Vermont rule, hon ever, is the best
and acting upon it would save all trouble
Receive evidence by telegraph; grant &c
prieves without regard - tue constitution
or laws; pardon cohvicts without Iega
to their merits or the nature of the crime o
which they have been coLvicted impos,
no conditions-for the governor nay b.
sure that the recipient of his clemency vii
be inside of prison again within a weel
for another crime the proof CT which will
be undisputed.

When Men are at Their Best.

DR.. Beard states that from an analysis of
tho lives OF thousand representative men
in all the great branches of the human
family he made the discovery that the
golden decade was between 40 and so; the
brazen between 90 and 80; the iron be-
tween so and 60. The superiority of youth
and middle life over old age in original
work appears all the greater when we con-
slider the fact that all the positions Of honor
and prestige-professorsh and public
slations-sre 10 the hands of the old. Rep
utation, like money and position, is mainly
confined to the old. Men are not widely
known until long after they have done the
work that gave them their fame. Por-
traits of great men are decisions, statues
are false They are taken when men have
become famous, which, on the average, is
at least 20 years after they did the work
which gave them fame. Original work re-
quires enthusiasm. If all the original work
done by men under As was annihilated,
they would be reduced to barbarism. Men
are at their best at that time when enthu-
siasm and experience are almost evenly
balanced. The period, on the average, is
from 3S to 40. After this the law is that
experience increases, but enthusiasm de-
creases. OF course there are exceptions.

Liquor-selliug in Ohio.

Whether we shall in Ohio ever come to
as sensible CONCLUSION is doubtful. There
is free trade in liquor at present. Any
loafer who has credit enough to rent q
room and get keg of whisky can open
shop and draw into his groggery the idle
and dissolute of his own neighborhood. In
townships and small villages, public senti-
ment may be strong enough to suppress the
business, but in the large cities the extent
and diversihcation of the traffic Is surpris-
ing. No temperance movement has yet
sensibly affected 1t, and none will. The
Murphy "tidal wave" may sweep over and
submerge tbs traffic in small towns and vii
lagos, but in the great centers of commerce
and industry, like Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Toledo and Dayton, it will produce no
great change IN the present order Of things.
In such places law like that of Massachu-
sets, with restraints that can be enforced,
and which the better class of retailers them
selves would assist In enforcing, might
prove Of utility. Cincinnati Commercial.

SATURDAY MORNING. MAY 2e, 1877.

ii must live, If live 1t does, and which has
a record the most glorious in the annals of
human organizations, shall commit suicide
as an act liberalization to the late enemies
of the public siences comment, bat in its
audacity we are but realizing what has
been visibly coming for several years from
1868.
Mr.. Morton refers to the overthrow of
the republican party Of the south, and
charges it to deeds of violence. He asks IL
any one believes the democracy of the
south has been converted to an honest ad-
vocacy of the equal rights of men. He
says the body of southern democracy is
unchanged, and IL Tilden had been elected
the fourteenth aud fifteenth amendments
would have been substantially overthrown.
In most of the southern states this would
have been accomplished by methods re-
Gently illustrated in Mississippi and other
states. Morton devotes considerable space
to allegations of intimidation of the large
republican vote in the different southern
states, and says 1t is folly to allege that
there was liberty, protection and equal
rights in these states. He says;
The quietness of affairs in such states
was that of strangulation and paralysis. II
South Carolina and Louisiana with their
large republican majorities are to be con-
cilated and pacifed in the same way, the
hopes and promises held out to the presi-
dent will have been broken in every part.
If on the contrary the republicans of those
states, white and black, shall be protected,
l shall be the first to acknowledge the
grand result. 1t is to this happy condition
that the President aspires. All should
earnestly pray for full realization of bis
hopes. The republican party south, with
all its errors, waged a noble contest for the
right. The voluntary withdrawal OF the
army from the south places her on her
good behavior. Should she fail TO protec,
all classes and races in the enjoyment OF
their rights, the most conservative republi.
cans will see that there is no surety by
which to peserve the government In the
hands of the republican party. AS the de-
mocracy have acquired the solid South by
force, the republicans should acquire the
solid north by vigilance and the eterpa
| justice of their cause. Should the north by
unhappy discords be divided, aud thus fal
| prey to the confederate south, the rebel
Ion will have ssbeen suppressed in vain, TIT
fruits Of war will be lost, and our last con
| dition be worse than the first.

An Indian Lovers Revenge.

A savage belonging TO one of the tribes
near Barclay sound, Vancouver island, be-
came enamored Of an Indian woman, but
paid his addresses in vain. The woman
would "none of him." aud her friends OBJ
jected to the match because the number of
blankets cast at her feet was deemed in
sufficient to secure her affection. The In.
dian hunted, fshed and stole to procure
the number of blankets the maiden had set
as the price of her charms. But as often
as he reached the fixed number so often did
the dusky one advance the figure, till at
length the savage gave up the struggle in
despair and sought for love no more. His
affection, in fact. seems to have turned to
hate, for, meeting her in the bush near the
village about month ago, he set upon her
with knife, with which he. killed her.
He then cut off her head, arms and legs,
and mutilated the body, scattering the
limbs and pieces through the woods. The
murderer openly defles punishment, and
glories ia the bloody deed. The father Of
the butchered woman has asked for re-
dress, and wants the government to bring
the criminal TO Justice Toronto Globe.
