Recent events in regard to the SubTrens. ury in this city have raised thequestion as to the safety of the pablic money vader the rstem now in operation. That systern was devised thirty yoars ago because certain Vanks, in which the public money was de- | posited, had failed and become defaulters to the Government, Theoretically the system may be sound; but the law and usages which now regulate it were not made to pro- tect such enormous amovnts as wre now in the vaults ef some of our Sub-Treasurics, To this city, for example, the amount of public funds under the control of the Sub- Newspapers Wasted.

Bauxert, Esy, who has just tesigned hia offices one of the Just.cee of the Court of Common Pieas in this city, delivered a very interesting: address on the administration of criminal justice before the ae. dad is Ce 5 Men dt Social Scionce Association, at its meoting last | Tite ane ih Uxing the om ibe ko’ t ‘ y, eo Litho week.

Viewed in the light of these facts, how grossly inadequate appears theamount of the security exacted of the Sub-Treasurer in this city; and what prudent man, with capacity and character enough to fill the office, would desire to assume its onerous ‘responsibilities for eo paltry asalary? No wonder that Gen. Dix declared that the monthe in which ho held this office were the most anx ous of his whole life, nor that Mr. Van Dyck threw up tho trust pertly because he would not carry so heavy a burden for gach a small remu- neration that the jud should be independent in the criminal courts, he pointed out a num ber of very injurious defects in the law which could be remedied without serious difficulty. The present Inw which permits the deten ‘| tian of honest moa as wituesses, while rogues are at literty on bail, should be amended #o as not to work such injustice any longer. Judge Barnerr proposed that all pro curable witnesses should be obliged to attend the preliminary examination, on which oc easion their written depositions should by taken ; then, in ense the witnesses could not be produced in Court, the written testimony be read on the trink “It ts awh Bome general rule,” said the ¢ tr,“ whieh brings the w © to faco with the jury ; but it is beter to odmit of occasional isa aeutees abel 1s Ge SoRiOAA Th TARRY, exceptions to this rule than that innccent lucas: si persons should be subjected to even a tem. | Particulars, ‘Iwo changes aro immediately arary dupni ation of ie and imperiously demanded: not to introst The appeal to the General Term of tho | MY Such enormous sums to the custody of Bapreme Court ts @ proceeding which ho oue person ; and to exact from thoee whol Md thinks might well bedispensod with in crimi. | He Public money an amount of security rea- nal cases, ‘Tho Jndge who presided at tho sovably proportionate to the sume in their trial of the offender is then not unfrequently | 84%, Will the ark iatA ig bus areny? on the bene ; and thero in always an appeal | "2 Congress reform this vicious aud wor. to the Court of Appeals taken from the deei- | CUt system t sion of the General Torm—by the prisoner if he is refused a new trial, and by the people if the application of the prisoner is granted. ‘The intermediate sup therefore between the Oyer and Terminer and the Court of Appeals seems quite unnecessary, In the United States courts the appeal system is such that applications on the part of @ prisoner are seldom granted, The Judge of the Circuit Court that tries him is the Judge who hears the appeal.

The whole case is therefore yet pending, and awaits the regular course of legal proceedings. In this state of affairs, the Administration, not couteut to abide « judicial termination of the prosecutions it has set on foot, has taken the unusual measure of seizing and disman- ting the Cuba, so that if teanorrow she were relented by the judicial authorities, she would be unavailable for use. The twenty: four hours which would then be allowed her in which to get ready for soa would scarcely sutlice to supply her with water and provi- visions, much less to put her In fighting trim, ‘The nation has by this trick been made, un- der pretence of effectually observing 1 trality, to actively take the to throw all the weight of to be expected that his convictions in regard to the prisoner will bo changed simply cause he is sitting in an appell 6 paid jury system of th 4s another evil.

Judge Paunerr proposed that to cach Police Court rhould be sttached a deputy of the public prosecutor, and also a salaried public defend- er to protect the interests of all comers, Tho examination before this Court should deter- mine whether the accused is to be exonerated or held for trial. This scheme is one which Probably would secure justice, if the officers of the Court and both public prosceutor und public defender were appointed by the Gover- nor, and held office during good behavior.

Just now it is the Emperor of the French who has tho credit of this eminently Christian and common-sense proposition, Seeing that it casts Europe in the aggregate over $500,000,000 unually, When no war is impending, just to keep up its military and naval organiza- tions, there is no question that the adoption of tho measure would be highly popular among the heavily taxed, overworked, and poorly paid masses; but the interests of the ruling class are 60 decidedly opposed to it, that it mever can suo ceed, So long as Governments are imposed on ople against their will, so long will immense standing armies bo required to maintain them.
