EdltOr d the Register.
I notice the following in yesterdays
INrELLiGEHcER: I,
aThe severity Of the dennneiations Of
the New York Herald and Baltimore
Gdsette grew mainly out Of the false news
which was furnished those papers Of the
brutality and barbarity attending the
execution.-Resiaer, @yesterday.
aWhen the fact Is known hiatt III false
telegrams sent 10 these papers emanated
In the Registr editorial sanctum and were
forwarded by an editor OF that paper, the
Joke is apparent" ~
In connection with the above l desire
10 say that the statement made in the
comment on the Regiaer's editorial Ia
false, Those dispatches did not emanate
from the editorial sanctum OF the Regtster
and were not written or sent by one oil
the editors. This can be proved by the
CoRREspoNDEsr
OF the New York Herald and Baltimore
Gd1ele.
The above card appeared in the Regis
Ter OF yesterday. All we have TO say Ia
that there is moi a word OF truth in The
denial OF Correspondent" who holds the
position Of night editor on the Register.
Il is well known among newspaper men
and telegraph operators that Mr.. z. L.
Walter sent the aialse newsn referred to,
and It is simply ridiculous for the Regiaa
to say that he did not.

DECEM BER 4 1875.

OUR COURTS are very costly and lead
to great waste of time and money. 1t
is greatly to be regretted that this is so ;
and it is almost incredible that intelli-
gent people should have allowed the
present course of things to exist for so
many years. In by-gone years it was not
so heavy, because the criminals were not
so numerous but in this county, where
the population is greater and less stable,
the number of petty criminals has been
very large for the last ten or fifteen years,
and they seem to be increasing. Hence
there is heavy tax from this source. 1t
not unfrequently costs the county, we are
told, hundred dollars to try asingle case
of larceny, without counting the cost of
the boarding of the prisoner. The cost
of trials of criminals of higher grade
is much more. The cost in the case of
the rape of Mrs. Smith by the negro in
st. Georges Hundred, last year, was near
six hundred dollars. Not unfrequently
vagrants are kept in the county prison at
heavy cost in the aggregate. The cost
for jurors and witnesses are frequently
very large. These matters ought to be
reformed. We only call attention TO
them now, without going into details
But people so intelligent az ours ought
not to allow themselves to be imposed
upon as they are. There is no sense or
reason in policy that requires the arrest
ing OF man for petty larceny and keep
him in prison for six months at the
county's expense when his guilt is known.
This policy is detrimental to public
morals as well as costly, and certainly is
not creditable To the character of the
community which suffers itself to be thus
imposed upon. All petty thieves ought to
be tried as soon after arrest as possible
and speedy punishment inflicted. We
have good authority for believing that
the cost of our courts could be reduced
fully one half if a proper change could
be effected and the reform made as thor
ough and complete as it should be. OF
course we hold no one responsible fol-
this condition Of affairs, but we should
be glad if some one familiar with the
subject should thoroughly ventilate thi.
matter and point to some safe way OF
adopting more economical policy.

Generals Sheridan and Butler
iIs CS,nrf.

Gen. Sheridan was in Court at the New
York postoffice builling TO appear in the
suit IT James A. Whelan, of louisiana,
against him, for S4i6,27S, on Monday.
The General attracted great deal of at
tention, as did also Gen. Butler, VINO
was present in court room to advocate
the cause ofthe plaintiff Senator Conk-
ling, who has patent suit before Judge
Blatchford, was also In the building to-
day. The complaint of Mr.. Whelan
against Sheridan is this He says that in
1867 he was the occupant of the Kiloma
sugar plantation in the st. Charles paS-
ish, about thirty miles from New Orleans.
Besides the cattle and implements needed
on tte farm, he had $50 acres of ground
cane and 355 acres of stubble cane, worth
altogether about S35S, 200. He had the
p antation on "A lease, which had two
years more to run. On the 8th OF Au-
gust, 1867, General Sheridan seized the
plantation aud ousted Whelan, and also
captured $50 hogshead of sugar and 800
barrels of molasses in the city OF New
Orleans, which belonged to the planta-
tion, and, rs Whelan charges, converted
the proceeds of the planiatio and pro-
duct TO his own use. Suit was begun in
1869, and the matter had been adjourned
from time to time for lack of evidence
aud on q variety of legal objections to
trial. General Sheridan'- defense is that
the seizure was made in the discharge of
his duties

PRESIDENT HAYES asks for more
money. He claims that there should be
more appropriated for the army and navy;
more for foreign intercourse and Indian
Intercourse, more for public buildings
and agricultural experiments, more for
forts, arsenals, lighthouses, posts roads
III short, more for every department of
public business. He is not content with
the Sl35,UOO,0O0 which he and his subor-
mates spent last year, besides the SlO2.-
0OO,0OO paid as interest on the public
debt. He wants to handle somethiug
like s4O,0OO,000 more this year than he
did in the last
We hope these requests will not be
granted. To witness such demands does
not show that the Republican party had
re'o,ved TO advocate a more economical
policy than the Democratic party. which
was given out = few weeks since. On
the contrary, that party in Congress seems
determined TO pursue its old career OF ex-
travagauce and will do so if it gets the
opportunity, or is not prevented by the
united opposition Of the Democrats.
