PERIL0US TIMES.

Editor Bulletin:
Do we not stand IN the midst of perilous
times when in "broad open daylight" as
took place this morning in front of one of
one police courts, an officer of the law
attempted to intimidate an associate officer
from discharglng his official duty by threats
that the entire saloon influence would be
turned against him9 felt proud of the
answer of this official, 81 will prosecute, il
need be, not only this case but the entire
city, every man in it who violates the
law"
There was no denial of the fact that the
law had been most fagrantly violated.
That law, which protects us and our loved
ones from the meshes of intemperance, had
been most wantonly violated, and now,
when an attempt is being made to enforce
the plain letter of tho law, this Hydra
headed Monster" impelled by an Unsuitable
desire of gain, with the impudence of the
devil himself, says, "You dare
prosecuted this and off will
90 your official head. We will learn you
at once that you must keep perfectly mute,
when we see cause to violate the law, if
not, we will, at once and forever, withdraw
OUR INFLUENCE from you, which is itstand
DEATH"
Are these not perilous times, when the
whisky influence must be permitted to run
rough shod over all law, and outrage every
sense of moral deccncy and order, and then,
almost in the presence of the court, attempt
to intlmidate the officer from plain dis
charge of duty.
Is it not fact that some of our city Of
6cials lack the moral courage to brook this
unholy influenced How many to-day are
pandering and bowling the knee in humble
obcisance to the whisky influence!
Men in high as well as low stations in life.
am proud that we can boas. Of some
men who can rise above this influence, and
say like the renowned governor Of Kansas,
when called upon to soften and modify his
views, 81 can afford NOT to be governor of
Kansas the second time, but I cannot and
will not surrender my honest sentiments
and convictions of duty"

service and the public benefit by pointing
out the Objectionable phases In the case
under discussion. Malicious prosecutions
are bad enough, one Of their evil
effects is the degradation Of justice--they
are mere burlesques upon justice; but loose
prosecutions, even in cases OF comparative
ly little Importance, are productive Of the
greatest evils. One of theses evils
is that the carelcssness OF the
prosecutor must naturally speedily extend
to the police officers, the men who are to
take the first step'In bringing criminal
to justice the men to whom is entrusted
the safety OF every individual member of
the community. These men, seeing that
their efforts to bring violators Of law to
justice are Systematically thwarted by the
negligence of prosecuting attorneys, cannot
fail TO feel sorely disappointed, at first, and
become entirely oblivious to their duties to
the community in the end, and for this,
not the officers themselves, but the prose-
cutting attorney, would be most to blame.
But there are yet more serious results when
this carelessness characterizes prosecutions
for the gravest crime known to law, murder
II will result in rendering blood thirsty
ruffians bold 1T will cause men to loose
their horror for murder, and
to seek the blood OF
those who have offended them without any
fear of the consequences. We have MUIR
ders enough in this county: punishment is
too little dreaded; life is held in too slight
regard. No observer has failed to mark
the downward steps we have been taking.
If the laws, as they now stand, as now in
terpreted by the courts, do not protect life
and they do not-then they must be
amended until they do, and if those whe
are elected to prosecute criminals under the
law fail to do their duty, then others must
be elected to their places at the earliest op-
portunity. The people have watched one
murder trial after another, and have seen
one guilty man after another turned loose
on society, until they have had reason to
become seriously alarmed. And there is se-
rious cause for alarm. When the law fails
to protect life, men will protect themselves.
The whole power of the state is used to
protect criminals against the mob; this is
we'll, but let us also protect the people
against the murderers No crime in the
calander is so leniently dealt with as is
murder. This state of affairs can not long
exist; if it is not remedied we will 60 on
step by step until we reach anarchy. Let
all prosecutions Of all violations of law be
carried on vigorously, but without malice.

Post. Dispatch:
"CAIRo, ILL.,, September IA, 1881.
To the Editor Of the PostDispatch;
In your issue Of the 18th instant you re-
fer to Hon. VIM. r. Morrison, Of Illinois, as
a probable candidate tor the presidency.
Some OF his old-time friends would ask !:
Is II true that he voted against the river
and harbor bill, which gave 100000 to the
improvement -of tho Mississippi river be-
tween the mouths of the Illinois and Ohio
rivers, and against 100000 for the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river from the
Ohio river to its mouthl When you are
examining the congressional records on
this matter, also please see how Congress
men r. W. Townshend and j. r. Thomas,
of Illirois, voted on the same question.
Many who have heretofore voted for these
gentlemen are inqulring into their record
on this subject. To them and all other
congressional candidates at the next cleo
ton will be put the question: Are you for
or against deep channel to the sea2
Yours, respectfully, EGYPTIAN"
We believe the record shows that these
gentlemen all voted against the river and
harbor bill, which appropriated to the i'm
provement OF western rivers, directly bene-
fitting the interests Of their constituents,
one-third of the whole amount named in
the bill. We are informed that "our men,
Der" Hon. ]. II. Thomas, offers as an ex-
cusc that no amount was specified in the
bill tor the improvement of the Grand Chain
in the Ohio river, when as matter Of
fact the appropriation for the Ohio river
covered the amount necessary to carry on
that work. And the work there is now 60
ing on under the appropriation he voted
against To allow the gentleman to plead
ignorance would be no doubt charitable,
but can we afford to cntrust our interests at
Washington to such poor kecping9
