THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.


We publish this morning Geographic re-
ports from all the principal business cen
ters in the State, showing the nature of
the prospects for the coming summer. It
will be seen that the report, with few ex
ceptions, is extremely encouraging With
but one or two exceptions there prevails a
spirit of hopeful expectancy North and
south good crops are being counted upon,
new buildings are being planned, new en-
terprises are projected. A notable tend
ency toward the establishment of manu-
features IS one OF the special indications in
this respect, and nothing could be more
encouraging than such symptom. There
seems less reason to believe that con.
siderable diminution of the crops will &C.
cur than was previously indicated, and
already question is arising in many quar-
tiers as to the warehousing facilities, tie
warehouses being for the most part already
nearly flied from last years surplus. The
demand for additional labor does not ap.
pear to be very great anywhere at present,
the supply being generally sufficient with
out resort to fresh importstions. The
merchants and farmers alike expect & pros
porous year, and are preparing for It to the
best OF their ability. The growth of towns
and villages is not rapid anywhere, but it
is evidently steady and solid. Little spec
ulation prevails, but there is no complaint
Of Indulgence or unemployed labor. In
short, the general progress Of the State APP
pears to be healthy, if not rapid. and the
diagnosis nnust be regarded as satisfactory,
save with the few exceptions ahove re-
ferred to-

ILLEG4L IMPRISONMENT.

Some days ago we stated in our local
columns the case of a maintained Hopkins,
who alleged that he had been arrested
without a warrant, confined in the city
prison for twenty days without being
taken before q magistrate, and finally
liberated by the officer who had arrested
him, without any explanation. In reply
TO this statement, 1t was alleged. on behalf
of the officer, that the man Hopkins had
committeda burglary thirteen years ago, and
had been convicted, and that a burglary
having been committed about the time he
was known to be in town, it had been con.
sidered proper to arrest and keep him until
the case was worked up" l. must be
perceived at oncs that this reply does not
constitute either justification or a de-
Tense for the imprisonment of the man, and
as we have reason to believe that his case
is By no means an exceptional one, but
rather an illustration Of an habitual
police practice, We think it neces-
sary to point out the fragrant
IMPROPERLY and utter iliegaiity of such
proceedings. No police officer possesses
any authority to arrest people without
warrants on mere suspicion, ana to lock
them up during his pleasure. To do so,
and to refuse the prisoner access to mag
istrate, is a gross breach of the law, and
no pretense Of the necessity of working up
c7ses can excuse it for an instant. The
police are appointed to administer the law,
not to break it. They are not in
vested with autocrstic powers. They are
not members of the Russian Third Section.
but officers of republican government,
the foundation of which is respect FOR the
liberty of the citizen. The fact that man
committed a burglary several years ago
cannot constitute an apology for
thrusting him into Jail for three
weeks. A crime which has been pun.
ished Is no longer a crime in
the eye of the law. The plain tru.h IS that
the police have been in the habi. Of con.
uniting very serious invasions OF law ur.
der the excuse of furthering the ends Of
justice, and thas this cannot be permitted
to continue. We are informed that it is
common thing for men to be confined for
many days in the City Prison before the
Police Judge is informed of their presence
there, and that in not few instances men
have, like this Hopkins, been summarily
arrested, kept in prison longer or shorter
time, and iaalIy released, all without re-
course being had to a magistrate at all. 1t
is very clear that this is altogether uuwar-
rantable and wrong and the sooner the
abuse is abolished the better.

His speeches furnish plenty OF telling que
tations, but as whole they are not pleas
ant reading. AID his politics were like
his speeches. The dramatic disposition
predonlinated in them. His later foreign
/ policy produced results the full mischief OF
which has thus far failed to be realized,
because his successors in office have con-
trived to commit even greater blunders
and follies. There is, however, no ground
for asserting that ne had any distinct and
clear line of policy before him. As has
been said before, ne was emphatically an
opportuniat. He seized every occasion as
/ it arose, and he did not pursue previ-
ously elaborated course. independently of
circumstances. His audacity, fertility Of
resource, epigrammatic eloquence. and
marvellous political taet, enabled him re-
peatedly to draw victory cut OF defeat and
made him most formidable leader OF 0p-
position. But after all there was no as
surance that he cared seriously for the
Wen oelnS OF MS country otherwise than as
it affected his own interests.
He was certainly not great man. In
many things he was a small man. But it
would be folly to deny his possession of
qualities and powers OF high order in
certain directions, and above all of de-
termination which was proof against every
rebuff, and superior to all opposition. He
was emphatically a self-made man. BY
his energy and talent he carved out won
derful career for himself. Posterity may
refuse to accord him SO much honor as his
generation has conferred upon him, but on
the other hand it is equally possible that
the salient facts OF his elevation to power
and his maintenance of greatness may lead
future historians to rate him even more
highly than he deserves.

BEAcoEsFIELD's LAST HOURS.


New YORK, April 19Ch.-A dispatch from,
London upon the death of Beaconsfield states
that the drowsiness apparent in the latter part
of last evening gradually deepened toward
midnight into a stupor, from which
his Lordship was with difficulty aroused.
At O'Clock the stupor deepened iato
coma, and toward 8 his breathing became
very much embarrassed. Lords Darlington
and Rawton commenced to grasp, and Raw
ton continued to grasp the right hand of
Beaconstield until the last moment, his left
hand being held in that Of Dr. Kidd. About
five minutes before his breathing ceased. Sir
Philip and DR., Quain arrived. Then most
placid appearance came over his Lordship'sface
which deeply moved all in the room. It was a
most touching scene as Lord Rawton Lord
Darlington, three physicians, DIR. Boem. the
young servant james and two nurses watched
around the bed For ten minutes the most
perfect silence was maintained save the
weeping of those present.
A few days ago the east wind. which Der.
s;stently blew for ten days, changed into
beautiful spring Weather, and the condition
OF the patient improved, and hopes were en-
.ertained of his coavalescence; but the east
wind returned Yesterday. and by last night
the temperature had fallen to such an extent
that during the entire bank holiday much
aLAiCty was itiI lbs lDS itcDle Earl. Con
scious to the last, he awaited death with
much fortitude.
The arrangements for the funeral will be
left in charge of the executors, unless other
wise ordered by the Queen.

minister Abbey. A cast of the dead Earls
features has been successfully taken.
Beacons6eld insisted upon reading all the
medical bulletins before they were issued,
freely criticising any points not in accordance
with his own opinions. he believed his Ill
ness would terminate fatally.
