Among the many classes OF our citizens
who are suffering from the evil effects Of hard
times and the straitened circumstances of
the city and State, none perhaps is more af-
fected than the police force. Many OF its
members have large families to support, and
that with q small pay irregularly served.
Their lives are Of toll, watchfulness and
danger, for which they obtain little praise,
and sometimes hard knocks.
Under the circumstances the men are to a
certain extent demoraliZed. and we think that
something ought to be done to encourage them
IL the community by some act showed kind
feeling and sympathy towards them, we are
sure it would improve their morale and In
flame their zeal for the protection of life and
property. The long summer months with
their accustomed train Of sickness are ap-
preaching; IL fund could be raised to meet
the exigencies of disease and, we grieve to
say it, perhaps Of utter want In some cases.
it certainly would be received by our
policemen with gratitude and would
nerve them to O closer attendance to duty.
We, therefore, suggest that some Of our en-
terprising citizens take the matter In hand
and organize an entertainment whose object
will be to raise fund for the relief OF the
force, such fund to be placed in sure hands
and given out as necessities may arise. The
people of st. Louis have done this very thing
with eminent success, and why should not
New Orleans follow their example.

Baltimore has the honor of inventing new
way of fighting intemperance. A few months
ago a society, calling itself the "Anti-freat-
ing Society,"" was organized in that city.
This society did not pledge itself to teetotal-
ism or to stop drinking In the least. 1t only
resolved that q great deal of the intemper-
ance prevalent in this country was due to the
habit of promiscuous treating; that people
we're thus compelled to drink when'they did
not wish to, and were thus often involunta-
rily intoxicated. To prevent this In future,
the anti-treaters proposed to abolish the
time-honored old custom of treating.
The Baltimore idea appears to have be-
come popular, and. anti-treating societies
have been organized in New York, Rochester
and score of other cities. The members Of
these organizations seem to really believe that
they can stop great deal of drunkenness by
putting an end to treating" They never seem
to consider that treating" is an American
CUSTOM and that Americans are not the only
drinking people in the world. In the old
country where treating" Is unknown, there Is
far more drunkenness than here.

Columbus. o., Is very anxious to have the
State Penitentiary, now located at that place,
removed elsewhere. This penitentiary Is one
Of the largest In the country, and has flooded
Columbus with ex-convicts and iail-birds.
When convict has served out his term and
is turned out Of Jail he naturally settles at
Columbus, because he Is unable to get away
from the place. The result is to create large
and very dangerous class Of residents. AS a
remedy for this evil the people of Columbus
suggest that when convict has left the peni-
Tertiary, it shall be the duty of the State to
conduct him home to the place whence he
came, and turn him loose on his birth place
instead Of on them. Another serious evil Is
worked by the Ohio State Penitentiary. The
convicts are employed at various Industrial
pursuits, and as their labor Is necessarily
cheaper than free labor, 1t is impossible for
the "a echanics and workingmen OF Columbus
to compete with them. The Ohio State Peni-
tertiary, at Columbus, thus brushes out the
Industries OF that town, drives out It's honest
mechanics and fills their places with ex-con-
victs and jail-birds.

DR.. Il. L. Hayes has introduced bill. in tho
New York Assembly to establish at the lower
end of Manhattan Island q grand under
ground railway depot or terminus and to
tunnel the Hudson river, 80 that the great
trunk lines can bring their freight right into
the city. Landing this freight In Jersey City
and being compelled to convey 1t thence to
New York, has been found serious ineonve-
nience to- the commerce OF the latter city. AS
for the tunnel, it presents no serious difficult
ties In engineering Work on such a tunnel
has already been begun on the Jersey side
of the river, and shaft sunk there but this
Jersey scheme seems to be In the hands Of
an unreliable and impecunious company, and
there Is little hope thatit will amount to any
thing If DR.. Hayes bill passes and the rail
roads are given this right, 1t is probable
tunnel under the Hudson would be completed
In very short time.

the courts. It won't do. It Is not even uni
versal rule In cases In the courts. Mr..
Semmes ought to know that In cases affect
ing the public revenues the courts Of the
United States have held that the burden of
proof is on the defendant to show that he has
complied with all the provisions of the
revenue laws and has committed no fraud,
when fraudulent evasion OF. the tax is al
legged In petition Of the government. When
a man dies and q flood OF claims rushes In to
consume the estate. the burden of proof Is on
the claimants to show that they are valid and
honest. When man goes into bankruptcy,
the validity OF all claims against the esta te
must be affirmatively established before they
can be allowed. Let us have more statesman
ship In the approaching convention and less
of the artificial reasoning OF the attorney
family,

TO THE COUNTRY PRESS.

We urge upon the press in the various
parishes the propriety OF seeking Interviews
With the nominees for the constitutional coz
vention upon the subject of the State debt
and the reduction OF taxation. Many OF
the candidates have already expressed
themselves fully. The views Of others are
not yet known. 1t is important that
the views Of all the candidates should be
known to the people before they are called
upon to vote, that full expression of
opinion may be had at the polls. The
DEMOCRAT will see to 1t that candidates In
the city have an opportunity to express
themselves. Not only are our columns
open to them, but our representatives will
call upon each one before the election and
get his opinion for publication. The coun-
try press, we hope, will see the force Of
our suggestion and act upon 1t at once.

THE ASTON HOMICIDE.

The telegraph has given us some details OF
this most unfortunate affair. Without pre-
Judging the merits Of the case and without
any injustice TO the actor In the sanguinary
rencontre which resulted In the death
OF one OF Georgia's most estimable and
valued citizens, we desire to present to our
readers and to the people OF our State few
reflections suggested by this tragedy and by
the startling events that have occurred In this
city since the twenty -secOnd OF February last.
1t Is stated In the account that has reached
us that Mr. Cox some time previous to the
fatal rencontre met Col. Aston In the street
and threatened to take the life of that
gentleman; that Col. Aston commune
Gated the fact of these threats to his friends,
who advised him to arm himself In
order to be somewhat protected against the
apprehended attack; that Col. AlstQn did so
prepare himself, and that after evading the
conflict as far as honor and personal courage
would permit, he was forced into semi-duel
that resulted In his death and the serious
wounding Of his adversary. His friends
suggested to Col. Aston the propriety
and prudence of arming himself against
well apprehended attack. 1t was
proper course to advise, but we suggest
that they should have gone further-that
they should have advised the arrest OF the
person who had made the murderous threats
against the life and person of Col. Al
ston. II that course had been pur-
sued Col. Aston would In all proba-
bllity be alive to-day and the State of
Georgia would not mourn the loss OF one of
her bravest and most gallant sons. In Eng
land or in France, when q man threatens the
life Of another, and particularly with a
weapon drawn and directed against the per-
son OF his victim, his arrest Immediately fol-
lows, and he is deprived by the strong arm OF
the law of any opportunity to put his threats
into execution. In those countries 1t Is not
considered to be an evidence of a want Of
personal courage to cause the arrest OF one
who threatens your life, nor is it in fact. In q
civilized community one cannot be always
armed to protect himself. The laws should
be capable of protecting him and he should
appeal to them for protection. A jury should
consider a charge Of an assault with q
dangerous weapon with intent to commit
murder as charge almost as grave as a
charge of murder and should feel as little hes
itation In rendering verdict OF guilty in the
one case as In the other.
When public sentiment has reached this
point there will be some other prOtec-
ton to life than the pistol, and homicides
will be less frequent.

The duty on coarse cotton goods imported
into India has been 5 per cent. At the last
meeting of the British Parliament the Secre-
tiary OF State for India promised that this
duty should be removed so soon as the rev.
enues of that country would be sufficient to
admit OF that concession. His promise has
been fulfilled sooner than was expected. and
this has caused an Improvement In the cot
ton market In Liverpool. The market yes
terday closed strong at an advance. or course
the first intelligence of the intention of the
Indian government and its effect upon the
market, was given In the DEMOCRAT. as
usual, 1t was twelve hours ahead OF its morn

mittee Of the Tennessee Legislature have sub

certain others at fifty cents and certain others

be thrown out en- irely and the railroad bonds
Issued since the war should be paid IN nom
