Jows, Ta Faysite, Richland, and Orawford, compriving Ton¥nird Congrevaional Dirtrict, nre also hoarly s unic I ibe Fabjectand the Madison "District is Lelieved t> stiow no dissgrooment with the Third, ‘Tt mny bo considercd nafo und good policy 1o force xpon tiin people by fraud, Intrigue, and deception & o[y sttty nffenaiva to thom but e tell {ho rontpirators that, $t they ucceed, o araunnd and Iudinant pouple will hury them 'sa deep that the Lrunip of the Angel Gapntzt, will nover awaken tham. — Now York's annual racord of crime speaks but Indilterently for tho morals, polico-regulations, and peacofulnoss of that city during the year of praco 1374, altbough tho number of homlciden hias been reduced by 17 compared with that of 1573, 1lowaover, 89 murders, officislly roported, are qnite enough for New York. It is nr:t surpriving that tho excesa of tho past yuar's mortaliiy over that of ita predecessor shoutd be accountod for in other ways. While there wora 1,199 Coronor's inquesta hold in 1874, thero wero 1,155 in 1874, but thero wero 184 denthia by suicido in the formerand 161 in 1873, Deaths by accidout were reduced s littlo, thers ‘boing 612 in 1874 ngainet 635 in 1873, Iow many of thesn nceldonts would moro correcty have Leen termed murdera we cannot tell, but, in- cluding tho Dboller explosions and rail- way nccidonts, thero would be far more than tho roport shows. Thero are ono or two other intoreating facta in the docnment. Tho number of deaths by infanticide was but one, while tho pumber of infants found dead in alloys. streats, nud rivers, together with thoso suifoested aceldentally {n bed, was 149, Thers was net a slogle death fn the city by judicial henging, wbich was & deplorable matter, Of £2,112 porsons arrcsted in thot virtuous city, 83,368 wero ablo to rend and write, and only 8,104 wera naeble to do o, Thero wera 18,271 Inbor- ers nrrosted, 19,794 persons without cccupation, and, mark the figwe, ouly 81 thiovea, Thero wero more sctresses arrestod than profeseional thieves, nccording to this report, and noarly s mauy eotors, ag many tenchers, more physicians, four tines a8 many muslvians, and nearly three timea na many awyers. Evidently the police aro hopelessly inert, o else Now York fe a bliss- ful citv, when, with her whole pollco force and City Goveroment to drsw upon, only 31 thleyea were nrrested. S S Tho Springfeld Republican, in common with the cther remnants of the independout press, shaws a strong disposition to got off its um- pleasant pozition on tho fonco nnd come back into tiio Republican party. Its lons, its sympa- thies, its afMiliations, aro 85 Republican asits namo. This1s tho natural rosult of tho total failuto ot tho third-party agitation. Thoro aro only t#0 parties to support, and thero can bo no «question, with tho mon who mistalionly headed tho * Liberal” movement of 1872, as to which of these two better ropresent tho morality snd tho istelligenca of tho country. IIr, Bowres giver soma sound advice, in a rocent editorial, to Republican managers, Lot tho Ropublican party Dristowize and Jewellize itsolf,” ho says, *‘and n opoedy convalesenco is assured.” Becretnries Duszéw and JEweLL do represont the best foa~ turea of tho Ropublican party or of nuy possi- Llo party. They know what thelr business is, and bow to doit.and they doit accordmgly, withent waiting to fina out whaether, by flatter- ing tais man or koo-tooing to that, thoy can get gomo crony into office. They 2re the right mon in tho right places, The more such officials we Lave, tho better for tha country aud tho party, e Duslng tho trial of the Srexc: PzTris case in New Yerk, tho ccllision botweon thecity policoand I1x) ERTON'S private agency, which was more or Icks cortain to +occur, doveloped some curious charges by tne latter. Ropcnr PrwkreTon do- clared that Capt.InsiNa divided with thieves, and pavo somo instances of his owa knowledge in which the detectives Lad squarcly denied identi- fication of thicves, At the timo of the Wells- bora' bavk rohbery, a number of mon wore srreated, and ono DuseNpURY was sont down to sco if he recognized any of tho captives. Onpo maa in particular, named Mansm, was known to ba n Now York thiof. PixkenToN hod seon bim valiing the streots of Now York with Duszx- sunt. Tho dotective preferred not to recognize 1im, and reported that ho did not know one of tho men arrested. It is o well-known fact that police officers nre aware of robberies committed, »..d could, if they 8o desired, clesn any city in tho conntry of thieves and gamblers in & waek, jut it would boa pecuniary loss ta do wo, and thoy eannot become martyrs to common houssty. AU A shocking incident of histrionio viciousness ta reported by @ Bt, Louls paper. A party of tamished emigrants from South Carolina arrived st Dallas, Tex., tho other day. The starving mothors could hardly hold thoir half-doad in- tante, and tho wailing of tho ohildren for warmth and food was piteous {n the extrome, They bad 1o place to tleop that raw winter night, and wero grouped upon the frozen ground in vacant lots, when ® girl only 17 yoars of age tripped lishtly out of what the Rov. Tararaae calls *tho gatoway of hell,” and, loarning of their dis~ tress, borrowed money en«ugh to feed thom, and aheltered thom in her own house for the night. This domon was not satisfiod until the Mayor aud others had been roueed to o proper apint of benevolenco, avd bad supplemented her charity tvith additional clothing and victuals, Tho sko- devil's name is Nxruiz Corrins, and she retards civilization by dancing with clogs at tha Dallas Varioties for 6 a week. And the Dallas people are 8o bhnd to iniquity that they are inclined to praise hor. SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. ¢ndy Franklints Reward of 910,000 for tho IRRocovory of tho Records of Aliw Expodition.
