Mr, Hayes’ Aduilitistratton was successfull hifavolding mfiny of the oxtravagnnces of {ts predecessors, but unfortunately it was con tent to get throtigh its teri of ofleo with the lenst controversy posstvle. —1t left the Law Departivent largelydilied with nien who hind exercised au tintawtul Heense In past yenrs, and whose relations With persons outsidd of the Goyériiment were li many cases close, In- timate, and profligate, When Mr. Garfield entered office an lt stance of n wiilesprentd conspitacy sticeess- filly practiced came tu fight Tho new Eseentive ordered a thorough Suvestigation, and ina brief time tha whole business was exposed and the criminals were known. In the vi Initiation of thts investigation the President was strieken down, and the long prostration of the President practically par- alyzed the prosecution. ‘The change of Adniinistration left Mr. MneVereh nv option but to retire from the Attorney-General’s oflice, and that depart- nidiit of the Government has been disorgan- ized and demoralized ever stiee, ‘The retire- mehtof the Attorney-General ought sot of Itself to have interfered with the business of the department if thé office was Ih honest. and competent hands, ‘he frauds of the star- route managers Were committed outside of tlie oflice, and these fratids oti@lit net to have found defenders and champiuns among the ldiy oflivers of the Goverment, But the prosecutions have been bungled and managed Ina manner to bring the whole Government Into contempt. Gen. Gurficht dled over two months ngv, aid no successor to the Attor- ney-General has been appulnted. It was, at the lime, the most fmportant office in the Government, and still the department has been headless, operated by subordliates, and by inen evidently {nu no wise pressed with any seiisé of obligation to biihg the star-route offenders to justice, : The Law Departinent just now Is acting on the important qtiestion whether an agept of the department {3 authorized to gather test!- mony to convict the star-route gang, and the authority to do this Is denied by a suberdi- nate of the office with as much indignation asif the agent had been engaged in onact of treasoii, ‘The’ Law Department Is now a Uisgince to the Government; those In office evidently think that the star-route party afe nihisused and persecuted’ ntimber of zentle- nen who In the olden thine were familinrs ot the exceutive officé and dispensers of Its patronage and its favors; Can It be that these men’ who have come down from the past, bringing with them pleasant memories of the do-ns-you-please thnes, are looking forward to & return to those times? Can it be that the department of justice lias become detioralized because -belng no longer under the restraints that have existed since 1877? ‘Tid Prestdeht has, by the delay In ap- pointing Mr. MacVeagh’s successor, perinit- ted a distrust to grow tip in the public mind asto the slueerity of the Law Departinent aud of the whole stat-roiite prosecutions, Technieallties and plens of imitation may dofedt justice and prevent any conyictlois, but the couniry has already convicted the guilty parties Itt this wholesale condpiracy. ‘Lhe whole evidence will be spread befora the people, ant there will be no difference of opinion as to what should haya been the fegal Judgment, It will bo fortunate for the character of our Government and fot thé character of our Insitutions If the American people in forming their conclustoh’ iis to the guilt of the star-route conspirators shall find no treason to Inelude in thelr censtira ani their coiideianation any shortcomings in tha Law Department, ‘That would indeed be Jamentable, because cnicilated to destroy all confldetice iit the branch of the Govern- metit most closely connected with the courts and with the whole administration of justice, HYDE PARK 10 BE A.

THE PUNISHMENT OF CRIME, Mr. Richard L, Dugdale has contributed to tthe Atluntic Monthly for December the second paper of a series uptoti the “Origin of Crime in Soclety,”-and, as Mr. Dugdale Is n venal refurmer, hls views are entitled to consideration as those of an expert who hns made crime a study. It is bit falr, liowever, to say that Mr. ‘Dugdale, in spite of his ox- perlences, 13, Ike many other: reformers, considerable of a theorist, and that sume of his theorles are not only impossible of belng put into practlee, but are not entirely com: prelienstble to the reader, and perhaps they were not to the writer, or they would tinve “been stated more clearly. The “orlgtt of erlme in soclely” Is not now o question of mneh prietical conse- quence, for it originated with our great uncle.Cain, and as long as human nature re- talus its present wenkness, or until the ad- vent of the millenntuth, {t will continue to ex- ist, Theorizing upoti the origin, therefore, Is a thankless and superfluous task, The true philosophy would: be to iecept its exist- enee as we accopt the existence of Nght and hent, and to assubie thot it will alyays exist, ahd direct our attention to the best meth: ods of régulating and decreasing 1t, as far as posalble, by legislative penalties. It Is when Mr, Dugdale addresses him- self to this branth of the. subject that’ he shows his weakness, for, declating that prévention dogs not prevent, and that Imprisonment and the death penalty do hat stop the priutice of erlinw, ho does inot con- sider what might be the reault if thors were no prisons or senffolily to deter men from ctling, nor dues he siibinlt a temedy when he bay abolished the present methods of pun- Ishing crhmials, Grant that the present methods dre fallurés, ard we not bound to ninintain them fs the best we kidw, hhd fy offering soing sectrity at lédst for socloty, uitil better oned are discovered? Grant that Imprisonment does not reform the eriminal, it atlenst protécts soclety from hiin- durkig the term for which he is Impflsoned, What substitute does Mr, Dugdale present? This part of his subject he scarcely ex- amines, and apparently he is not at all clear himself, for althouich he has devoted the larger part of his paper to showing that the prison, is a remedy for crime, 18 A follure, and that the iifethods tite Incohztuous with the cnilses of ciline, he conecdes that the prison will continue to be tecessary for the lfe-confiicment of thtitderbts aid of ertii- innls addicted to offenses of great ylolence against persons—a class requiring nbsoluto restraint? But If ofe étithtiial shonid be restralned, should not-all? If @ iutderer is to be restrained: trom killing, shoutd not a thief be restrained fiom steal: ing or an Incenilary froin: atson? “Wliat would Mr, Dugddtéd dd-with his great crowd of erlutunls, whom, by hls theory, he would Telengo from the,” penttentinries?

In the developmont.of this plan, we tan gobat nothing tlearer than “that new and long-continued observations need to ba hinde, extending tu thelr daneestry, tv the slir- roundings of tholr childhogd and tiianhond, to thelr soctal, mental, inoral, phyalealand Ine diistrial disabllities, before a cleat conéontion can be obtatied of the ‘imiiltiform ‘agenctes by whjeh a criminal can bb Ifted into a ude- ful and honorable circer, j e Mr, Dugdale’s ‘plan, It will be secon, is of the educational sort, and perhdps Mr, Dug. dale may see tha appalilng difileulties that stand in its way if he will reflect How didi. eult it ts to bring upachitd in the way It should go, so that it will not depart froin it, and yet in this edii¢atiodal procuss the child is taken In hand when it Is pliable dnd Ite euaracter is horyot fornied,and the strohg- est of Influéncégcan bo brought to dear upai it at the hands of those who are urged on by the strongest’ of ties, and who niake thelr duty a Ilfework, The criminal, whom Mr, Dugdale would release from prison. beeausa the prison jaa fallure, ail subject fo his re- formatory plan, alreatly had Hid character formed through yoars of hablt.and export- nce, and as itis e bad character, rotted In evit- associations, scarred with passions, and catloused with crime, as the outcome of a vicious life, or If his dariier influences were god, then vlelous in spite of the very plutt which Mr, Dugdale wyuld employ, that of ninth and Seventy-first streets, to tha Clty of | roformatory eiluentiqn, it 1s not diflcutt ‘to sev the Impracticabllily of a system which would requiréns many reformers as thore aro erluitiaig, 9 courage on the part of eneh as great ng that of Heretiles, dnd in patience as utiwenarying as that of Job, Soclety fs not yot rendy to seo fits erlminals released ‘from the prison, whether the prison be f failure or not, because 80 Jong ds thé criminals aro wider restraint society Is snfo fram thelr evil designs, It will Keop on puilshing erimtuals by restrain lng thom from thelr tiberty and putting them in prisong, but if Mr, Dtigdate has fateh Ih his theory, why not gointo the prison and experiment there upon oncor more subjects?

In maby of the States of the Union, Ilinols among the number, tho Judges have grad- ually been shorn of their most vital powers. ‘Their disposition aud ability to enforce the Jaws Mnpartiilly as against the guilty and to protect the rights of the innocent have been denied, It hay been ssumed that twelve Inymen, untrained in the Jaw, and often selected by reason of thelt Ignorance of other things, will be more likely to do Justice Withont the advice of a Judge than with it, ‘The powers of the jury have, been en- Inrged aud those of the Judge have been abriiged. While avery seridus tnipitatton ig thus put upon the geheral character of the beneh, the self-esteem of persons lia- ble to jury service hus been delicately ‘Hat- tured, ‘Lhe theory that twelve foolish men can give a better judginent of the law than one wise nian has long been in favor also with extreme advocates of the docttine of popular sovereignty, Jt has naturally found strong support among pettifogglng criminal Inwyers, whose power of defeating Justice In- creases as the Judge Is stripped of authority and diserdtion. Some of the points at which the jiowers of the Judges In most of the American States, Tillnols among the number, have been cur- tailed are the following: 1. ‘Tho fury Is cotistttuted the sole Judge of the laiv aud the facts, Though it is com- posed of Inymen and,ig likely to contain a majority of unthinklig men, it is presumed. to have a special capacity for getting at tho Jaw by intuition. ; 2 The Jitige is prohibited from giving an oral charge td the ‘jury.

He usually does not attempt to explain away apparent discrepancies, nur reconelle con- tradictions on ite fave ot the charge. ‘The jury fs required to take the instructions Into the retiting-rooi, wherd thoy are efther wholly disregarded of serve as source of constant bewilderment and an..obstruction toa Just decision on the merits of the case, & The Judge may. express ‘no opinion upon the facts, nor review the testimony, nor Indicate an opliton as to what the yer- dict shoittt be on pain bf reversal, sf.
