A Record of Crime.

The crime record is heavy one to-day.
The shooting of James p Deering by George
Foster Howell is one of the most cowardly,
committed. Mr.. Deering had been guilty
of no offence toward his dastardly assailant,
and was unconscious that he had IN enemy
in the world. BY gross misconduct Howell
had forfeited the situation he held as clerk
in his brothers Office on Pine street,
This incensed Howell. and his feelings
were further irritated in consequence
of having been turned out of his brothers
house because of his dissipated habits.
Yesterday he saw Deering walking on Full
ton street, walked up close to him from be-
hind and shot him through the back. Both
are young men but little over twenty years
of age. Deering piteously begged to be
taken home ut once to his mother, and the
scene when the two young men were
brought face to face was very dis
tressing, Howell apparently regretting
then his murderous act. Equally brutal
and unprovoked was tho murderous
assault made by a Brooklyn saloon keeper
on man who owed him q small amount of
money. The savage ruffian followed the
man into shoemakers cellar under his sa-
loon, and, after few words, seized ham,
mer and dealt him two heavy blows on the
head, each blow driving in the skull A
third case is that of police detective, who,
under the influence of liquor. attempted
to shoot citizen in the streets,
and, being disarmed and arrested,
broke loose and stabbed him in the
hand on tho way to the station house. The
result of this case is noteworthy. The de-
tectivc was taken before Police Justice
Smith, and there being no complaint
against him he was discharged. Some con-
siderntion ought to be shown by police
justices to the public safety, and it is their
duty in such an outrageous assault 10 COM
pei a prosecution. especially when the
offender is IN officer whose business IL is TO
protect the public peace. At all events the
matter claims the prompt attention Of the
Police Commissioners.
The New York herald., 1878-07-03
Tho Border Troubles.

It has often been remarked in Washing
ton that the Indians are never so threaten
ing as about the time when the Army
Appropriation bill is before Congress. 1t
used to be said that the Cuban insurgents
were always on the point of driving out the
Spaniards just when General Grant was
preparing his Annual Message. Since
President Hayes accession the Mexican
border troubles seem to increase = in the
newspapers-as soon as Congress adjourns.
All this means, of course, only that
spectators and adventures know how to
choose the most suitable times for their
operations, and those restless or acquisitive
persons who think they have something to
gain from war with Mexico, but who have
discovered that Congress will not help
them, prudently wait until the adjourn
ment before propagating rumors Of new
and serious border troubles. Fortunately
for the country the present administration
is not believed to be Of an adventurous
turn, and General Ord, who commands on
the Rio Grande, has shown himself to be
the right man for the place-skiltul, good
tempered, sensible and determined to keep
the peace.
The New York herald., 1878-07-03

Mr. Johnson's friend came hither accord
ingly saw General Dix, found him thor
oughly in accord with Mr.. Johnson's views
and willing to accept the portfolio OF the
State Department.; and be had just disclosed
to him Mr.. Johnson's formal offer when tel
egraphic despatch was brought to the Gen
eral, who excused himself while he read it.
Having walked up and down the room once
or twice in apparent embal rassment he
turned to his interlocutor with the words,
81 ought to be entirely frank with you.
think" and handed him the despatch. 1t
was from Secretary Seward, and contained
an offer to General Dix of the French mis-
sion, with request for an immediate and
definite answer.
The General accepted, and was. as every
body knows, one of the best representatives
of this country in Europe for several years.
But, unless we are incorrectly informed,
President Johnson always believed that Mr.
Seward had in some way obtained knowl-
edge Of his Intentions and had by the
prompt offer of the French mission to Cen
eral Dix baked Mr. Johnson's purpose.
In all this, of course, there was nothing dis
creditable to any one concerned, and we
relate the story only to show that Mr.. john
son, when he contemplated asking for Mr.
Stewards resignation, had no thought ola
democratic alliance, nor OF an improper
selection to fill Mr.. Stewards place. No
one has ever presumed to doubt either
General Dix's loyalty or his ability.

seasonabie Recreations.

Regattas and murders are the staple of
the news--the recreations and distractions
of the day. How to come out first in the
four-oared race, and how to make way with
the man whose life you have insured Tor n
handsome sum; how to distance your
opponents in the pair, and how most ex-
peditiously to settle scores with your wife
and your unsatisfactory mother-in-law-
these are the themes that occupy the mind
of not inconsiderable portion of the
public. Buckbee shoots his wife and his
mother-in-law and then serves himself
with sauce from the same revolver, by way
Of showing, perhaps, that he does not care
to survive them Harley Brown applies for
situation with a railroad tie, but kills four
men, by mistake, as he says, though
we can hardly be too particular In
regard to mistakes Of that nature. Tobin
kills with steady shot the man whom he
believes to have wronged him, but stands
up in court and faces the music like n SOL
dier. Poor Mrs. Wertheimer gets rid Of the
awful weather in the Hudson River, and
Hunter, Hubbard and hundred others give
way to their impulses with more or less
discretion and free themselves from bur-
dens, embarrassments and dangers of one
sort only to fall into troubles front which
extrication may prove more difficult. In all
the murders now on the calendar it is OBJ
vious that the people are too terribly
serious. They are taking life too much in
earnest They are losing the capacity to
enjoy themselves, and they are killing one
another about troubles that might be for
gotten at picnic. They ought to go to the
boat races they may feel bad when they
come home, and desperately bored, but
there is no hanging in it, and if they are
inclined to kill any one they can exhaust
their energies on the bad rowers.
