A BROTHERS. TERRIBLE REvENGE-Wm.
r.. Rainey, of New Bedford, Mass, has re-
ceived letter from Joseph Thompson, in Rio
Vista, SalanO county, Cal, announcing tdat
his brother, John Thompson, was murdered
in that town on Sunday, June D The circum-
stances are as follows: James Lowthers rode
to town on that day from San Francisco, a
distance of about 10 miles: going 10 John
ThompSOn'S house he knocked at the door
and when that gentleman came and reached
out his hand, he fired, the ball striking him in
the breast. Thompson fell to the ground and
expired in about ten minutes. After Thomp-
son fell LOwtherS fired one more shot and then
turned and walked down the street and gave
himself up to the police, by whom he was lock-
ed up. A crowd gathered and threats were
made of lynching him. and his trial will occur
in August. The only reason assigned for the
cOwardly murder is that Thompson had pro-
missed to marry L0wthers' sister, but did not
fulfil his agreement. Thompson was about
twenty nine years of age and had been in Cali
fornia about three years. Previous to going
TO California he resided in New Bedford.
Lowthers also fOrmerlylived mere and his fam
lily still resides here.

." crime and Tramps."

A careful article under this heading, in
the last number Of Hnper's Magd-ine, is
understood to be from the pen OF ex-Goyer-
nor HoratiO Seymour, Of New York. "ov'
Seymour, however much astray politically, Is,
it is not necessary to say, gentleman oil
much experience in matters Of government,
and his opinion on any matter affecting civil
and social order is entitled to high respect.
Gov. Seymour lays down the proposition
that crime should be punished with GER
tainty and in a way that will make men
shrink from its commission that will de-
grade them as little as possible; and that
will tend to make them better Contem-
plating the system of criminal law and prac-
tice in vogue in New York State, he declares
that it violates each one Of these rules
There is no worse way, he asserts, OF deal
ing with crime than the system of New ork
State. lie is especially and justly down on
the iails, which he pronources to be common
schools of vice. to which it is "a great
crime " to send youthful offenders. As be-
tween the Jail and the lash, Mr.. Seymour IA
yors the latter for first offences, wherein he
agrees with many recent authorities IN
Great Britain. On the question Of "sufer-
| ing for crime the e1-Goyernor's expert
ence leads him to fear that as a rule it falls
not upon the offender, but upon his family
This fact" he says, II learned while Gov
ernor. and when | lock over our penal
laws, to my mind their titles read between
their lines as acts to punish the wives and
children Of those who violate them
The remedies which Mr.. Seymour pro,
poses are % ga careful study Of the causes
of the lower grades Of offences; (2)
the working out Of " some system which
| shall check the course of those who are en-
tering upon lives of disorderly and crimi-
nal aspects" (3) permission to "our judges
to impose punishments other than sending
the offenders to these common schools oil
yico' az " binding out minors" who dc
wrong or " directing their chastisement,
or "a personal wardship for disordered
morals" akin to that for those afflicted will

" Of technical rules and ideas to which ",

make rather than check vice. ~
Our own State of Vermont may congratu
late itself that in its Reform School ant
State Workhouse it has to a considerable
degree relieved its prison system from the evil
90 pointejly condemned by Gov. Seymour ii
the New York system, which till lately wa
our own. But the subject still demand
careful study and wise action, here as every

show as marked progress as the last ten o
