It is nr‘nt surpriniay that the oxcess of tho past year's mortrli.y over that of its predecessor should be acconnted for in other ways. While thero wern 1,199 Coronor's inquests hold in 1874, thero wero 1,155 in 1874, but there woro 181 deattis by suicide in the former and {m in 1873, Deoths by accident were reduced o littlo, thers boing: 612 in 1874 ngainst 636 in 1873. Ilow many of theso aceldents would more corroctly have Leon termed murders we cannot tell, but, in- cluding the boiler explosions and rail- way nceidonts, there would be far more thau tho roport shows. There saro one or two other intereating facts in tho document, The number of deaths by Infanticide was but one, while the number of infants fouud dead in alloys, streots, and rivers, togethor with thoso enffocated accidentally in bod, was 149. Therd was nek asingle death in the city by judicial hengiwux, which was s deplorable matter. Of £2,112 porsons arrcated in that virtuous city, 83,368 wera able to read and writo, and only 3,104 wero uuable to do so, There wero 18,271 labor- ers nrrosted, 10,704 persona without occupation, and, mark the flzute, ouly 81 thieven. Thero weto moro ctresnes orrested than profeselonal thieves, accordiug to this report, and nearly as many actovs, a¢ many teachers, more physicians, four timos as many muslcians, and nearly three times 8a many fawyers. Lvidently the polica rro hopelossly inert, or clse Now Yotk Is a bliss- fut cit?, whon, with hor wholo polico force and i roment to draw upon, only 81 thieves were wrvested. e ey Tho Springfisld Republican, in common with the ctior remnants of the independent press, showg 3 strong disposition togot off ita un- pleasant pozition on the fenco and eome back iuto tie Bepublican party. Its Lone, its saympa- thies, its affiliations, aro as Republican aa its namo. Tiaisthe wvatural result of the total failmio of tho third-party agitation. Thore are anly (%0 parties to support, and there ean bo no question, with tho mon who mistalionly hoade:l tho ‘¢ Liberal” movement of 1872, na to which of these two botter ropresent tho morality and tho iutelligenco of tho country, !Mr. Bowres gives soma acund advice, in a rocent editarial, to Repullienn managers, Lot tho Republican party vistowize and Jewellize itsolt,” ho eays, *‘ and n speody convalesenco is nssured.” Becrataries Duistow and JEweLs do represent the best foa- tures of tho Republican parly or of nuy possi- Llo party. They know what their business is, and bow to doit, and thoy do it accordinply, withcat wartiog to fina out whather, by fattor- lug this wan or koo-tooing to that, thoy can get romn crony into offico. They aro the xight mon in tho right places. The more such officials we Lave, tho botter for tho country aud the party. Duzing the tiial of the Srexcu PETns caso in New Yerk, the cellision between thoeity policoand 11 Crroy's private agency, which was more or Iows corbain fo -oceur, doveloped some curfous charges by the latter. Ropcrr Pivkenton do- clared that Capt.Invixe divided with thieves, and gavo somo fustances of his own knowledge in which the detoctives bad squarely denied identi- fication of thioves. At tho timo of the Wells- boro' bouk rohbery, o number of men wore srrested, and one DuseNBURY was sont down to 0o if he rocognized any of the captives. Ono man in particular, namoed Mansn, was known to o n Now York thiof, PINrenToN had seen bim sallung the streets of Now York with Duszy- wr¥. Tho detective preferred not to recognize 1im, and reported that bo did not know one of tho men arrested.
