Judse Donohue,s Decision.

Judge Donohue yesterday gave his opinion
on the question brought before him by the
writ of certiorari in the police court pro-
ceedings against Receiver Jewett. The
Judge in few plain words says that inas-
much as the sole object of an examination
before police justice in such cases is to
find out whether the accused should be
held to bail, when both prosecution and de-
fence admit that on the papers as they
stand there is cause for holding, that
ends the magistrates right to proceed. It
has been the invariable practice in this city
to hold defendants to bail on their waving
an examination, and the District Attorney
does not claim that any different course
should be taken. Indeed, Judge Donohue
points out that to concede the police JUS
tices right to proceed with an examination
at his will, after the admission Of all he
seeks to find out, would be simply to allow
him to examine "all the world, to know not
only what they knew but what they thought,
as the magistrate is not bound by the strict
rules of evidence prevailing in jury regular
trials" The. Judge courteously refrains
from making an order in the case until the
police justice has had time to correct his
singular error by discharging the defendant
or admitting him to bail. This is only an
net of fairness TO Police Justice Morgan,
whose anxiety to proceed with the examina-
ton might be liable to an unfavorable inter-
pretation

Enforcing Justice.

It appears that the cruel fuffian, George
Green, who after having deserted his
wife visited her on Wednesday last at Coney
Island. where she is employed as a house.
keeper, and, failing to induce her to give
him money, knocked her down, beat her
and finally fred at her a gun which He sup
posed to be loaded. with the intention of
taking her life, is likely to escape by the
refusal of the poor woman to prosecute.
mitted the community at large is quite as
much interested in bringing the perpetra-
tor to justice as is the person against whom
the lawless violence is used. There has
recently been vastly too much trifing with
justice in regard to felonious acts. Banks,
insurance companies and other institutions,
which have been robbed by dishonest en-
ployes, have been too ready to ''settle"
with the thieves, and to refrain from
prosecuting in consideration of a re-
turn Of q part Of the stolen money.
Persons who have been feloniously
assaulted have too frequently been COM
pensated or Influenced by the friends Of
their nssailants, and have failed to appear
against the accused. The police in too
many instances favor such compromises Of
justice, and not always without being paid
for the service. There is a statute against
compounding felony, and if it should be
sometimes put in force and the penalty of
its violation exacted the example would be
salutary. In the case of this Long Island
ruffian and would-be murderer it is clearly
the duty of the District Attorney to press
the prosecution with energy, despite the
forgiving disposition of the poor wife.
Such criminal as George Green ought not
to be at large.

four-6fths of them live in the upper part
of the city. The Third avenue cars run as
crowded between twelve at night and five
in the morning as during the daytime. The
elevated roads will in great measure drive
the horse cars out of existence, and are
therefore bound to give the people oil the
accommodation they require. There is
just as much need of trains between mid
night and five o'clock in the morning as
during any other portion Of the twenty-four
hours, and it is in the apprehension that the
rapid transit companies may fail to under
stand this fact that we have insisted upon
the expediency Of positive legislation cover
ing the subject.

A Funny Petition.

A petition was presented to the Senate
yesterday asking that the elevated railroads
in New York be compelled to run steam cars
during the night up to twelve o'clock and
the crosstown horse car roads to run horse
cars between midnight and six A. M. If
the petition is genuine one, which is
doubtful, the petitioners know very little of
the necessities and demands of the people
of New York if they suppose that the run
ming of steam cars on the elevated roads up
to midnight would be sufficient and salts
factory accommodation. Many hundreds
of persons are employedsjn the lower part
of the city during the night, and probably

THE WEATuER.-The centres of low barom-
.ter are now in the upper lake region and the
Lower Mississippi Valley respectively. The
utter is attended by general rains, prevailing
over all the Southern States, with indications of
clearing in the West Gulf districts. Light
rains have fallen in tho Upper Mississippi Val
lev. The pressure is highest, but falling, on the
Atlantic coast 1t is probable that a part
of the Southern depression may be divided Oft
by the Alleghanies, developing dangerous
coast storm like that in which the Metropolis
was lost. The temperatures continue high in all
the districts. The weather in New York and its
vicinity to-day will be warm and cloudy or partly
cloudy, with rain and morning fog. Tomorrow
the weather will be warm and threatening, with
rain.

Teachers, Salaries.

The proposition of the Retrenchment
Committee of the Board Of Education to
cut down the salaries of teachers this year
s152, 400 below the total amount paid last
year is alleged to have been rendered neces-
sary in consequence of the reduction of the
Boards provisional estimates for 1878 by
the Board of Apportionment. Let US see
what justification there is for the attempt
to make most faithful, capable and already
underpaid body of public employees bear
nearly the whole of the enforced economy,
and by what motives it is prompted.
The Board of Education, in their original
estimates for the present year, asked gross
appropriation, in round numbers. of
SO, $50, 900. They received from the Board
of Apportionment, in the final estimate,
So, 4OO, 900, being $780, 200 less than the sum
they demanded. In their original esti-
mates they asked for teachers salaries
about $3.50, 900 more than the gross
amount paid to teachers last year.
They now reduce the teachers sala-
ries 1852, 400, thus actually compell-
ing the teachers to bear S432, 400 of
the whole reduction Of little over half
million made by the Board Of Apportion-
ment. Last year their total appropriation
allowed by the Board OF Apportionment
was SO, 553, 900. With this they got along
we'll enough to have a surplus at the close
of the year. Their appropriation of
So, AGO. 900 this year is only $4,000 below
their total appropriation for 1877, yet they
find it necessary to cut down the teachers
salaries enough to cover the entire amount
of the difference between the two years ap-
preparations, leaving no reductions neces-
sary in any other branch of their large ex-
penditures.
In what part of the educational fence is
the African concealed? We find in the
provisional estimate made by the Board of
Education for the present year such items
rs the following:-Books and stationery,
$4,000; janitors, S126, 900; fuel, $50, 900 !;
superintendents and clerks, SIG, 500 incl
dental expenses of ward schools, $65, 800 ;
incidental expenses Of Board $50, 900 !;
other Incidental expenses, $500 en-
forcement of Truancy act, $40, 500; and
most suspicious item Of all-for "pur-
chasing, leasing and procuring sites,
repairs, enlargements, alterations" &C.,
the large sum of $3.50, 900, making total of
ST. 900. Now, if there are '1eakages"
anywhere in the Boards expenditures it
must be in these items So many employees
at SO much salary each foots up definite sum
in which there cannot we'll be hidden any
illegitimate profits or percentages. Books
have been a standing school job for years,
and repairs and supplies are rs full Of Leak
age holes as q sieve. 1t is singular that
''fshy" items that might we'll bear cutting
down half a million dollars should be left
untouched, while the poorly paid and faith
iul teachers are carved with as little hesita-
ton or feeling as q butcher would display
in ouarterinR steer.

Louisa Muh,b.sh'. Sketch OF Pope

Plus.
A mournful interest attaches to the grace
full and feeling sketch Of the life of the
dispatches in to-day's HERALD announcing
his death. 1t was penned for the HERALD
nearly FIVE years ago by the great German
authoress, Mme Mundt, better known to the
literary world as Louisa Muhlbach, through
her. novels and the fascinating works in
which history and personal reminiscence
were SO happily mingled. This sketch of
the career of MastaY Ferretti was among the
last work that came from her tai
ented pen, for death came to claim her
q few months later. Curious, indeed, that
she should tell from the grave, as it were,
derly rs it does upon the early life
and idyllic love of the young noble,
ere he found his way into the priesthood, it
will be valued for showing how common
chord tingles, through all human hearts.
Painting in graphic lines the story of his
rapid rise to power, playing around his
sunny days upon the Papal throne and
picturing in strong colors the trials, the
dangers, the vicissitudes Of his troubled
reign and the proud isolation Of the sad
closing days in the Vatican, it will
be read for its inherent literary
value by all. 1t is the sketch
of the Supreme Pontif of the Catho-
lie Church traced by the hand of Protes-
tant woman, whose sympathies were catho-
lie in the best sense of the term. It makes
one wonder that men cannot. overstep the
dividing lines Of sect when the child Of one
creed sees so much that is beautiful and
admirable in the chief type of another.
Peace to the ashes of both.

ANDERSON, the member of the Louisiana Re-
turning Board, has been found guilty. This
result was almost certain from the first, not SO
much because the prejudices of the jury and
public sentiment were against him, as that the
evidence of his guilt was clear and almost in
disputable. 1t is very probable that Wells will
share his fate.
