Abuse or Justice.

The alderman aud justice Of the peace
has outlived his usefulness. 1t is an Of
fee that needs to be abolished, because its
privileges are grossly abused by 50 many
of those who hold it. They use it solely
to make fees for themselves. In civil
cases their judgments are unreliable,
being generally given for their employer,
the plaintiff. In criminal cases in their
judgment they commit the prisoner be
cause the commitment is fruitful Of
fees. The outrageous filling Of the Ian.
caster county Jail with yagrants com
mitted for a few days, tobe recommitted
as soon as they get out, is practsed by q
certain set Of justices in the most shame
less way. Columbia magistrates are
particularly active in this work Since
December first there have been about a
hundred and fifty vagrants sent from
Columbia to the jail on commitments
of from three to Eve days, besides the
number sent up for longer terms.
The jail is not intended for the Gus
tody OF vagrants, and is not adapted to
the work. They should BE- provided for
in Il workhouse where they could be
made to earn their livelihood. There Is
urgent need for reform in the admins
tration Of justice in this regard. The
state should provide efficiently for the
support OF the poor who cannot support
themselves, and for the compulsory labor
OF those who can earn their liveli
hood, but will not. Trsmps should
be taken charge Of, buS they should not
be provided for in jails, which are in
tended for criminals. The law provides
that vagrants shall be committed to the
workhouse, II there be one, and 10 thu
jail only IL there is no workhouse. ON
understanding Is that Lancaster count,
provides q workhouse and we know
that when Major Cox superintended the
almshouse he managed admirably tht
vagrants who sought its hospitality, re-
quiring them to work in the morning fo
the lodging and food that had beer
given them. His method is the only on,
adapted to the vagrant evil, and met III,
case fully.
We presume that it is under tn
authority given, to summarily convic
and imprison drunken and disorderl
persons that the justices al the prlsoi
with yagrants but it is notorious tha
1t is vagrancy and not drunkenness, AM
disorder that Is often, ii not generally
the real cause OF commitment. TIL
court should look into this abuse O
Justice and lay its hand upon thos,
Justices who hagrantly practice it.
And the Legislature should abolish
the justices and aldermen and establish
IN their stead courts Of limited jurls
diction In convenient places, to TAX,
cognizance of petty civil and crlmina
actions.

On two straw pallets in an old frame
