MISS EMILY WEBB SPEAKS OUT.


We hope not another Sunday will be
passed az The last was in'sa,is city, and more
vigilance will be necessary on the part OF
our policemen to stop the wholesale slaugh
ter of pigeons, birds and cats by the sling
sbottens. According to our citizens account
no less than ten boys passing Second
and King, streets, and along Front, en-
gagged in the cruel sport ;, but sadder even
than the lingering and painful death of bird
or cat, is the bold and reckless bearing OF
the naughty boys, the ready falsehoods, the
hsrleped hearts that could look on sutfe ring
untouched. These are the boys who, when
little older, will swell the drunkardt'
ranks.
The temperance reform begins here, and
ifthose who have been laboring so earnestly
In the cause would look deeper and spend
their talents and means to establish house
Of work and correction for naughty boys and
lazy men, iLtemperance and crime would
lcCtlFc d ulOTt 6tNciC ChOSn ousS" "AA oA-~
tent and gospel meetings could give IT,
Keep tobacco entirely away from the esta'
blishment, and we think the taste for liquor
would never trouble them. If our State
legislators refuse to appropriate the required
sum, let private subscriptions do it.
Think of it, gentleman, for one moment,
how seriously things are worked. You
sign license to sell liquor and then pay a
policeman to arrest the drunken man liter
ally and truly, you apply the torch to your
own dwellings, and guide the burglars
hand to your safes. The divine mind of man
seems to work the oyher way in this case
Something should certainly be done in this
direction at once.
Wonderful stories are told OF the "House
OF Correction at Randall's Island, New
York. The most vicious boys, seemingly
unrecamable, have become good citizens
and wealthy men they are in their turn
swing good seed.
Ten years ago our Legislature granted
the charter but have lacked the strength tc
appropriate the money. We will prove the
economy of the measure by quoting an arti-
Gle from Howard Jenkins" Commercial NJ:
"Crime is far more costly than education
1t is cheaper to provide facilities for the lib
eral education of thousand boys than tc
track, arrest, try, convict, and punish hall
that number OF criminals. 1t is cheaper, BY
actual computation, for a STATE to send
young man through college than to senc
him to tue gallows. If ": take into &C
count the damage to society by law>break
ers, as we'll as the cost of prosecution, the
discrepancy is vastly greater. Crime, ir
whatever form, from the robbing of a hen
roost to a needless declaration of war, is &
luxury no community can afford and which
true: economy serves every means to dis
pense with. Education, on whomsoever be-
slowed, is . gain to the community. Th'
Increase Of It brings decrease Of crime"

i. ANOTHER FRIEND REWARDED

His Fraudulency President Hayes
I has acquired some cheap notoriety'by
J refusing to appoint to office several
worthy citizens, for the reason that
they we're his wife's relatives, but he is
, no ways backward in rewarding the
men who were instrumental In making
him President by'stealing the votes OF
: the disputed States. In doing this. he
: follows the rule adopted in counting
& the electoral vote and takes the States
in alphabetical order. Florida being
! first on the list is of course the first
! attended to. McLin, a member of the
Returning Board of that State, has
been appointed Associate Justice OF
New Mexico, position for which he is
said to be wholly unqualified. The
next on the roll is Humphreys, also OF
Florida, who assisted IN defrandlng
Tilden out of the electoral vcte of thht
State. Humphreys, though native OF
Massachusetts, resided in~Florit,a and
held Federal Office in the State before
the war. H served in the rebel army
and afterward, as Democrat, backed
ANDY johnson, but became Republi-
can in time to support Grant and was
rewarded with a Federal appointment
Last winter it was shown that he held
office at che time he claimed to have
been chosen an elector, but be was
equal to the emergency and swore be-
fore a Congressional committee that
the books used by him as Federal
officer were his private property and to
prevent exposure he vacated gu office
which he held for years. taking the
books with him and leaving his success
sor to start anew He has now been
rewarded for assisting in stealing the
of the port of Pensacola. If Hayes
imagines that his refusal to appoint
consistent Republican and competent
person to a marshalship in Illinois, be-
cause be was the husband of a favor
lite cousin of Mrs. Hayes, will satisfy
the public that he really means reform
while the next day he appoint1 the
McLius and Humphreys of Southern
Returning Boards to lucrative ID re-
spoLsible positions. his estimate OF the
>intelligenoe and discernment of the
people must necessarily be very low.

At Memphis. Tennessee. while the
turnkey was going his rounds last eve-
ming he found that the locks on the
cells in which the Seymour Brothers,
who were recently sentenced to the
penitentiary for horse stealing, were
confined had been tempered with.
Calling assistance he commenced a
search. when Henry Seymour drew a
derringer and at the same time one of
the assistants drew his. Both fred.
Seymour was killed. and the officer re-
ceived a severe scalp wound.
The disfgured body of a child, sup
posed to be little girl, was found In

of the hotel 159 have reported, and an.
other is expected to report oday. 1t
is not believed that many of them are
lost. The funeral services of Henry
Hazon, one of the victims. was held to-
day; Rev. DIR. Schuyler of Christ
Church officiating. The remains were
forwarded to New Castle, Penn, his
former bone.
