sATURNAL1A OF BLOOD.

! Apart from the disgrace, the de-
graduation and inhumanity attend
ing the murder of Capt. Murphy in
New Orleans, on Monday, the LIST
inst, the bare fact that such scenes
can be enacted in broad open day
light, in crowded city, speaks
volumes Of condemnation towards
all who were engaged in the das-
tardly act. That the murder was
premeditated, deliberately planned
and most inhumanly executed adds
materially to it's horrors. The I'M
fortunate victim, even when pros
trated and weltering in his blood
from what must have been death
wound is still mercilessly riddled
with bullets, thus proving a fend-
ishness on the part Of his slayers
almost without a parallel. 1t is
Just such occurrences as this, and
they are too frequent, that places a
stigma on our whole section. Alas /!
that the innocent, the law-abiding,
should have to bear their portion
with the reckless and the guilty
But thus it is and thus it will ever
be. Can nothing be done to check
this lawlessness, this wanton sacri-
fee of human life? On the day
perhaps at the very hour that one
murderer is receiving the just SEN
tence Of the law, another most das-
tardly murder is committed. And
what adds horror to this last is the
fact that high judicial functionary
OF the law should be arrested for
implication therein. Let the press
OF the country cry aloud at such
enormities. Let all good citizens
frown on the perpetrators let the
utmost rigors Of the law be enforc-
ed; let the united prayers of a
christian people ascend to Almighty
God that He restrain our evil pas
slons and direct US in the way we
should pursue. The Picayuwe in
commenting on this sad affair,
which it designates "The Carnival
of Blood" gives some most alarm
ing statistics of crime as recently
perpetrated in New Orleans. 1t
closes its most pointed article on
this subject by the following para
graph. The facts are truly start
ling: "There are no less than
twenty persons that we can call to
mind who are now awaiting trial
for murder in this city. There are
at present fourteen persons in the
Parish prison charged with murder,
all Of whom have been arrested
since September. But a short time
since four of our city police officers
were arrafgned in one day under
the charge of murder, and three of
them remanded without bail."-t
Here is a record that is indeed ap-
palling. 1t is idle for good citi-
zens to close their eyes to such. !
They tell their own sad and mel
ancholy tale.

LITERARY LORE.

Mr. DU MAURIER's illustration for the
Eaglish Illustrated, "Der Tod ais Freund," !"
has some excellent poetic touches here
and there, but technically it is far from
perfect. The wooden hands and arms of
the playing woman are not creditsble to
an artist of experience. In the poem
which accompanies the sketch, Mr.. Du
Maurier shows a very pretty talent for
translation and for rhyming.
The June number of the English Illus
trated Magazine is an admirable one. 1t is
prefaced by beautiful portrait of Mrs.
Siddons, and opens with an article on
''The Old English City of Bath" which
calls up for the reader some of the most
delightful "reminiscences of eighteenth
century literature. Equally attractive is a
paper on "Dances and Dancing" delicately
and humorously illustrated by Mr.. Hugh
Thomson.
THE first part of Mr.. James's story, The
Author OF "Beltra6io," introduces set OF
characters more than ordinarily disagree
able. One of these is an elderly-young
lady OF esthetic tastes and cavernous eyes,
who would seem to have come out of one
of Mr.. Du Maurier's Belgravian sketches
Mr.. James's style has become so fixed, his
treatment OF his characters thing so we'll
understood, that he has left to his readers
as matter OF fresh impression and criticism
only the characters themselves.

OUTLAWS IN NEW YORK.
Gang of Desperate Men and Women
I'm Saratosa County,

ALBANY, June flames Dummick, one
OF the notorious gang of Saratoga county
outlaws who robbed Farmer Harrington
OF his horse and wagon on the high way a
few nights ago, has not yet been arrested.
Officer Barron knowing the desperate
character OF the Holt family, with whom
Dummick had taken refuge, disguised
himself as cattle dealer and gained ac-
cess to the house of the Holts, but the cul-
prit was not found. The female portion of
this notorious gang are as masculine in
action and strength as the men, and like
the latter will defend the premises
against invasions with shotguns or clubs.
1t is reported of them that they would
as soon kill foe as to look at him.
Whenever they visit Ballston with the
linen folks" they make no bones of step
ping up to bar and drinking with them
For six or eight years this family has occu-
pied their present quarters near Janesville,
and they have been a terror to officers of
the law and especially to tax collectors.
The latter have been driven from their
premises times without number with the
muzzle OF a shotgun in close proximity to
their heads. And when levies upon per-
sonal property have been made to offset
tax assessments it has only been through
the intercession of their counsel that they
have allowed sales to be made to satisfy
taxes.
But as soon as sufficient funds were OBJ
tanned from such sales to liquidate the de-
lnands OF the law, they have been known

EothsehiId, the Se9 9eier.


Sis-.1e sae recent Wilkins fiasee a great
deal Of interest, beneath which ran a strong
undercurrent of sympathy, has been awak.
ened in the Rothschild case, which has
taken a complete run OF ell the judicial
tribunals, from the Police Court to the
supreme Court of the State. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Rothschild was
charged with obtaining goods uutizr fatse
,.rv;Snsss, in that iIs purchased large
5iM OF isweir@, Ste, from a prominent
Easisrf. fTm and then made an assignment
- Mr. l.. Rcsenthal. His creditors made
rigid investigation OF the case, and dis
covered enough to bring suit as above re-
lated. The result was a sentence of three
wears to the penitent:ary by the Criminal
Court, confirmed by the State Supreme
Court On Saturday last, en- rece' e'pt o.
Information. Of tho acaion of the higher
corTt, NJ. bothsohild, who was out on
bond pending the progress OF his case, was
taken charge of by the sheriff and placed
IN the county Jail, preparatory 10 the exc
cution OF the sentence. Mr.. Rothschild
then resorted to the last hope-a pardon
by the Governor. In this he was sec
ondea by a very large number of proIni-
nert Citizens, including long and very
strong letter from Judge Greer, of
the Criminal Court, before whom Mr.,
Rothschild was first convicted and snn-
fenced, urging the Qe~e-rcF to pardon
ROthschila en- TIE ground that the latter's
Incarceration in the penitentiary would be
his death; and that this was too severe a
punishment for the crime committed; :;
that Rothschild had always, previously,
borne good reputation, and had been
very charitable in his disposition. The
appeal for clemency by Judge Greer was
strengthened by lengthy petition, the
lis; OF signers embracing the names of a
large number of prominent citizens who
plead for him that his act was not COM
pretended by him as of so grave viola
ton OF the law as the investigation devel.
ope@. The petition, letten, etc, Were
taken by Mr. Sim L. Barinds, the Associa-
ted Press agent of Memphis WHO carried

NEW YORK FINANCES.
Radical Changes Which Must be Made
I'm Taxation.

New YORK, June l0.-lhe spessSf psuet
jury OF Oyer and Terai,2er to-day made a
report as result Of their investigation Of
tho tinanae department Of the city govern
thent. The report declares there are rad
teal objections TO the taxation OF personal
property IN th;s city; sud should be abol-
ished, as it is impossible 10 attempt e9uita'
BILE assessment of property. Itsays no suspi-
cion attaches to any clerk, but that rigid
system of checks and balances is neces-
sary. In regard to assessments for i'm
provements generally, the grand jury rec
ginmend that all claims for extra work
should he rigidls examined. Concerning
coupon frauds the presentnent says there
is no evidence that previous to 1870
there was any fraudulent payment of in
terest on registered stock. of the
Carroll coupon" frauds the presentment
says Carroll is the only criminal, but the
moral responsibility is on a number of
persons" 1t believes that the civil service
enactment will improve the city's business,
and that the political patronage is an in
Justice to the heards of bureaus. The
transfer OF 50 called unexpended balance
6f appropriations to uses other than those
specified is ID abrse which ought
to be stopped. The grand jury says
they do not suspect the existence oi
fraudulent or unauthorized issues of city
bonds. Ii bonds should hereafter appear
they will not be considered valid claims.
This grand jury has been in session Ill
days, at an expense of $902l for experts
testim ony, services OF accountants, etc.
