Tl ESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 180!). THE LATE MURDERS. Let us no longer talk of the lawlessness of frontier life, or the superior precautions taken ly a cultivated city for the protection of society. On Saturday Richard D. Carter was fihot down in cold blood because he had done what he conceived to be his duty to the pub lic, in insisting that a piece of work should be performed properly, and on Monday Mr. Brooks, a Detective Internal Revenue Officer, was attacked by two men who are believed to have been hired assassins, and so cruelly in jured that his life is despaired of, because he had endeavored to servo the Govern ment faithfully and conscienti ously ! Two such incidents, following close tipon the heels of each other, may well agitate the community to its profoundest depths, and make men ask whether we are not "shooting" Niagara" in real earnest. That murders should be committed for any cause or provocation is bad enough, but men could not thus fall victims to the boldest and most unblushing ruffianism on account of their devotion to the public interests if there was not something fearfully rotten in the whole state of society, and a radical defect in our entire municipal system. No circumstance was wanting to add to the enormity of the assault on Detective Brooks. As Venice had her hired bravos, ready to sell their daggers to any envenomed desperado who was wicked enough to plan a murder without being sufficiently courngeous to execute it, it seems that members of the whisky ring in this city are also ready to dole out blood money to assassins as well as bribes to faith less officials, and with a conjoined baseness and audacity which have rarely been equalled, the detective was stricken down while busily engaged in pursuing the routine of his daily labors. It is becoming a question of vital moment in Philadelphia whether law-and-order-loving citizens or murderous villains are to be in the ascendancy. Beneath this issue all others pale into insignificance. We have already had repeated illustrations of the damnable fact that active and energetic officers can be well-nigh killed with impunity in this city, as a punishment for the unflinching discharge of their duty. But yesterday a city Alderman threatened before his fellow officials that a riot would be raised, club law established, and the streets reddened with blood if the election officers of the Fourth ward were not arranged to suit his wishes. And one master workman in the employ of the city, and one of the agents of the National Government, are murdered because they attempt to discharge their duties con scientiously. At this rate, faithful service to the public, which is now rare enough, will soon become entirely obsolete, and men in the pay of the municipal and National Govern ments will be compelled, on peril of their lives, to become the apologists and accom plices of negligent workmen and robbers of the public revenues. Another probable cause of the growth of crime in Philadelphia is the inferior character of the detective police force as now consti tuted by Mayor Fox. The few men it con tains who understand the artifices of the dan gerous criminals of the day occupy subordi nate positions, and though their assistance redeems the department from absolute imbe cility, they are powerless to direct. Rascals of all grades can count confidently on gaining time for escape through the ignorance or blunders of men who have been entrusted with duties which they are unable to dis charge. If the Mayor will stop to think for one moment, he will Bee how utterly impos sible it is for some of the raw officials he has called to his aid to properly protect the com munity. It is all very well to reform the Detective Department in the particulars where reform is necessary, but surely ho does not need the judgment of a Daniel to teach him that the city should not be left to the guardianship of mere novices in the complicated art of battling against astute modern villainy. We want not only one but dozens of exam ples to prove that law and order must prevail, and that no amount of political influence and legal chicanery can save desperadoes from the prison or the gallows. Every man who as saults a public official because he attempts to do his duty should be punished with tenfold severity, instead of being suffered to escape. A considerable portion of the present police force could be greatly improved by substi tutins better men, but above all, O Mayor Fox ! don't postpone for another day the reor eanization of your Detective Department on common sense principles, bo that there may be a fair prospect hereafter that adroit and ilnn f pious rascals will not all be suffered to - o escape. NATIONAL TEMPERANCE PARTY. The convention which recently met at Chi cairo. and resolved to form a National Tern perance party, pledged to prohibition as a distinctive issue, will scarcely oe auio io gain iuanv adherents in Pennsylvania. The peopl of this State have never regarded third parties with much favor. They prefer, as a rule, to promote any object they have at heart by ex erting an influence upon the councils of the leading organizations which are already in the field, and even in the late convention this course was ably advocated by a large minority. Although many citizens favor prohibition in a'l the Northern States, distinct prohibitive parties have never attracted any considerable number of adherents outside of New England, but the earnestness with which the new move ment is opposed by loading Republican jour nals in the West, indicates that they are fear ful that some of their partisan followers may bo captured by the proposed new organiza tion. Whatever be the intention of its pro jectors, it is evident that it practically ex tends aid and comfort to the Democracy, who will not lose one man for every ten recruited from the ranks of their adversaries. This fact being admitted at Chicago, the leading spoakcrs complained that, while tem perance had received some incidental aid oc casionally from the Republican party, it was nowhere openly committed to prohibition, and nowhere willing to eject "dram-shop" men from its ranks. A New Jersey delegate said that when he wished to control tho Re publican conventions or caucuses of that State, he always found them "assembled in a lager beer saloon, and it was the same all over the country." An Illinois speaker said that "if the Republican party did not come up to time they would split it up and split it down." A speaker from Michigan denied that the Republican party had "ever inaugu rated a measure of prohibition." A speaker from the old Bay State contended that tho Republican party "had done nothing in Mas sachusetts for temperance, though Republi cans individually had." A female orator from Minnesota said that "the new party would bo built on the ruins of the Democratic and Republican parties, whose nun was caused by whisky and lnger." A speaker from Wiscon sin claimed that "the first prohibitory law in this country was enacted by the Democratic party." Gerrit Smith, of New York, said that the Republican and Democratic organi zations will both be "rum-soaked as long as they continue to be parties," and that "those of their number who would escape from their guilty responsibility from the dram-shop and its horrid work, cannot do so without sunder ing their connections with them." These and similar arguments overruled the protests of many of the delegates present against the formation of an entirely distinct political or ganization, and it remains to be seen how much influence they will exert upon the largo body of temperance Republicans who have hitherto made their love for prohibition sub ordinate to their regard for their party. The new organization proposes to agitate for effective legal prohibition by Congress, as well as the State Legislatures, on the ground that "the traffic in intoxicating beverages is a dishonor to Christian civilizution," and that its suppression is necessary to the "enjoy ment of personal security, personal liberty, and private property." Gerrit Smith proposes that no drink should be proscribed by name, but only such "as have power to intoxicate or madden the drinker;" and ho thinks that juries should be left to pass judgment upon the deleterious qualities of any given liquor. Under this rule tho old query whether lacer beer in toxicates would become more pertinent than ever, but no sensible jury could doubt that many of tho beverages sold as "whisky" and "brandy" inevitably madden the drinker. If it was believed that the new party would im prove the character of these compounds, it is by no means impossible that it might gain some adherents from the ranks of the Demo cracy. Gerrit Smith seems to have advocated this plank for tho special purpose of winning their fuvor; and although he did not succeed in having it incorporated in the resolutions, he embalmed it in his address. It is part of Smith's theory that "a drink that does not make crazy or madden, but only stupefies, the Government has nothing to do with, any more than it has with a dinner that stupefies;" and as lager beer and native wines might be ex cluded from his system of prohibition, there are many voters who would gladly second his efforts to prevent the sale of strychnine whisky and drugged brandy. THE CASE OF JIMMY I1AOOERTY. Just as it seemed that Mr. Jimmy Haggerty was about to escape from the clutches of the law, under the two-term rule, because his friends had succeeded in spiriting away the chief witness for the Commonwealth, the Dis trict Attorney made a neat flank movement that did him decided credit. He moved for Haggerty's further detention on tho ground that he had been pardoned out of the peni tentiary on condition that he would leave the country. The counsel for Haggerty at tempted to overcome the latter obstacle in the way of their client's happiness by endeavoring to show that he is not the identical Jimmy Haggerty that was pardoned, and that if he is, the condition is null and void, becauso the Governor has no power, they contend, to grant a conditional pardon. This last objection, however, is apparently overcome by a decision of the Supremo Court made about twenty-five years ago, to the effect that the Governor has full power to annex to a pardon any condition, and that the original sentence remains in full force if the conditions are not carried out. This seems to settle the case of Mr. Hag gerty, as there will doubtless be but little difficulty in identifying him with the Jimmy who received Governor Curtin's pardon, and who then preferred to take his chances in Philadelphia rather than to emigrate to foreign parts. We hope sincerely that District Attorneys bheppard and llagert will spare no effort to keep Haggerty now tint they have got him Their efforts thus far in this case entitle them to the regards of the community, and if they can only manage to put Jimmy into the peni tentiary on any terms, they will confer a favor on the law-abiding people of this city that will not soon be torgotteu. The meaning of the disgraceful scene before the Board of Aldermon, yesterday, appears to be that the redoubtable McHullin desired that he should be permitted to name the officials to conduct the election in the Fourth ward, and his wishes being disregarded, he announced that the proposed officials would be prevented by force from discharging their duties. We bolieve that the law requires the appointment of election officers whoso politics correspond with that of the respec tive precincts, and that, in accord ance with this provision, a Democratic judge and one Democratic inspector were appointed in each Democratio precinct of the Fourth ward. But the men do not seem to have been of a sufficiently "red-hot" stripe to justify the belief that they would repeat the glaring frauds perpetrated in the Fourth ward at the last election, or that they would vio late their oaths and disregard the promptings of their consciences for tho sake of tho party. Consequently, "club law" is to bo established, honest election officers are to be "murdered," and a hundred dollars is to be bet Hint they will not be allowed to serve ! This is the entertain ment to which law-and-order-loving Phikdel phians are invited by tho roughs and rowdies who aspire to supreme rule, and who have already displayed their determination to erect on the ruins of popular government that worst of all despotisms, tho dominance of murderous mobs and marauders ! The calamity at the Avondale Mine is one of tho most distressing, touching, and de structive accidents that has ever occurred in this or any other country. There is a bare possibility that the two hundred men and boys may yet be saved, but at !) o'clock this morning it was the belief of experts that they bad all perished. While this terrible tragedy is immediately caused by the destruction of the Jbreaker by fire, it would scarcely have been possible if the mine had been properly ventilated by other shafts. Every careful observer of operations in the coal regions comments upon the reckless and careless manner in which they are conducted, and the accidents which from time to time cause the destruction of many lives, and shock the community, are tho inevitable result of criminal negligence. Now that they are coming thick and fast, the Legislature cannot too soon provide for the proper inspection of all mines, and the establishment of safeguards against further accidents. The discussions before the Court of Com mon Pleas of the contested election cases are giving a timely warning of the necessity of a strict enforcement of the Registry law. They clearly indicate that in the Democratic precincts of the lower part of the city every conceivable form of fraud was resorted to for the purpose of swelling the vote of the Demo cratic candidates, and that every injunction of law and every consideration of honor and justice were flagrantly disregarded. When all other appliances prove ineffectual, dangerous roughs seek to escape justice by tendering straw bail, and then fleeing from the confines of the State. On Monday it was discovered that the bail-goer of a detected in cendiary had previously entered bail for a number of persons, who had nearly all escaped. Judge Ludlow at once adopted measures to have the outraged law vindicated, but the old trick will no doubt soon bo revived again by a new operator. OBITUARY. General John A. Itnwllnn. About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon occurred the death of Major-General John A. Rawlins, the Secre tary of War. Two or three weeks ago, he was at tacked with a hemorrhage of the lungs, but several times during his Illness it was thought that the com plaint had been mastered, and on lust Tuesday after noon he attended a meeting of the Cabinet, at the spe cial request of the President, but against the advice of his physician. The exertion Incident to this is thought to have brought on a relapse, and hastened the hour of his death. The fatal malady is traced partially to a severe cold which the late Secretary contracted In 18C3, while In the army, from the effects of which he nerer wholly recovered. John A. Rawlins was born In Jo Daviess county, Illinois, on the 13th of February, 1831. By the pater nal side he was descended from a family of Virginians that removed Into Missouri, where his father mar ried. Both his father and mother are still living, and are residents of the town of Galena, Illinois. Of the large family of eight boys and one girl, only one, a brother, died previous to the late Secretary. General Rawlins received a common school and academic education, for which he was entirely Indebted to his own exertions under very ad verse circumstances, and until nearly twenty-three years of age lived on a farm and was engaged In agricultural pursuits. In November, 1S&3, he en tered the law oltlce of J. P. Stevens, of Gulena, where he made the acquaintance of President Grant. In October, ISM, he was admitted to the bar, and, opening an ofllce, commenced the practice of his profession, in which, although he did not make a fortune, he was telerably successful. Previous to the outbreak of the war, General Raw lins held no public offices, his time being devoted chiefly to the practice of his profession. He had, however, participated actively in political move ments for some years. In politics he was a strong and bitter Democrat, and wielded considerable in fluence in the councils of the party. In 1S6), lie re ceived the Democratic nomination for Presidential Elector for the First Congressional district of Illi nois, on the Douglas ticket, and during the cele brated campaign of that year frequently spoke In favor of his Presidential condldate, earnestly de nouncing the Republicans and their principles. But as soon as tho Southern Democracy rose in arms against the nation, Rawllus deserted their ranks. A few evenings after the firing on Fort Sumter, a large public meet ing was held in Galena, participated in by both Re publicans and Democrats. Grant, then an ex-captain of the regular army, was called to the chair. A prominent Democrat who was present took the stand and began to talk about ''Republican responsibility for the war," and of 'compromises," when the Hon. E. B. Washburne rebuked hlin by exclaiming : "Mr. Chairman, any mail who will try to stir up party prejudices at this time is a traitor." At the same moment Rawlins entered the hall, and loud cries called hlin to the stand. He advanced and made a speech lasting half an hour, and ending with these words ! "I have been a Democrat all my life; but this is no longer a question of politics. It Is simply country or no country. I have favored every honorable compromise; but the day for compromise has passed. Only one course Is left us. We will stand by the rug of our country, and appeal to the uou or bttttltB." A few evenings afterwards Rawllus and Grant en countered eac h other at another public gathering, and Rawlins proposed that they should get up a company of volunteers. "Aa you have seen service," Rawlins la reported to have said, "you shall be cap tain, and Kttwley and I will toss up to see wnicu shall be First Lieutenant." The Galena company was raised, but Grant was not elected Captain, and Rawlins got no First Lieutenancy. Grant soon found employment at Wnrincrlleld In connection with the recruiting service, aud Rawlins remained for a short time at home, anxiously watching the course of events and awaiting his opportunity. It soon came. Grant had gone Into the field as a Colonel, to bo quickly promoted to a Brlgadler-tieneraismp Rawlins was becoming Impatient, aud was about to enter the service ns Major of the 45th Illinois Volun teers, which became known to fame as the "Lead Mine Regiment," when, In August, 1861, ho read In the newspapers that he had been appointed an Assistant Adjutant-General, with the rank of Captain. Soon after he received from General Grant, to whom he had been Indebted for his appointment and was ordered to report, an order assigning him to lutyon his personal staff. The order was dated September 8, 1861, but In consequence of the recent loss of his wife, he was unable to Join General Grant until the lMn. On that day he reported for duty at Cairo, Illinois, and from that day to the llth of March, 1809, when he was commissioned and confirmed as Secretory of War, he was constantly by the side of Grant, following him through all his campaigns, and being present with him at the battles of Belmont, Fort Heniy, Fort Donelson, Shlloh, Corinth, Iuka, the Tallahachie expedition to Oxford, Mississippi, Port Gibson, Raymond, Jackson, Champion s Hill, Big Black, the crowning victory of Vlcksburg, Chat tanooga, the Wilderness, North Anna, Pamnnkey, Toloobatomoy, Cold Harbor, and the front of Peters burg and Richmond. General Grant was soon led to repose the most unlimited conildence In his Judg ment and executive abilities, and in November, ls2, appointed lum to the position of his chief Of Staff. Which hn retainer! until hla induction into the oftlce of Secretary of War. At Culpepper Court House, Va., General Grant presented him with a sash, as an evidence of his high regard, accompanying it with tho following note: "This sash worn by me In all my battles and cam paigns from and Including the buttle of Belmont to and including the capture of Vlcksburg, July 4, 103 Is presented by me to Brigadier-General John A. Rawlins, my chief of staff, In evidence of my appre ciation of him as an officer and friend. "V. S. Gkant, Lieutenant-General." February io, ls2, Captain Rawlins was promoted to the position of Major, and August 11, 1863, to that of Brigadier-General of Volunteers. On March 3, lscr, he was confirmed by the I'nited States Senate as Brevet Major-Genernl of Volunteers, to date from February 24, 1863. The special enactment of Congress creating the office of Chief of Staff to the Lieuteu-ant-Gencral commanding the army made General Rawlins, who was appointed to the position and con tinued in it after the creation of the rank of full General for the benefit of Grant, a Brigadier-General in the regular army. When General Raw llus was transferred to the War De partment, this position, by request of General Sherman, was abolished. As already stated, General Rawlins, who had entered the army In robust health, contracted a severe cold In 1863, and at the close of the war was still suffering from Its effects. Consumption finally set In, and last winter, in consequence of his continued poor heulth, he was obliged to reside for some time In the extreme northern part of the country, but in February last he returned to Washington, apparently improved. On the llth of lost March ho assumed the duties of Secretary of War, and ad ministered the affairs of the office to the general satisfaction of all parties, becoming extremely popular at the national capital. But his bodtly in firmities continued to Interfere with the duties of his oftlce, and finally assumed the serious ami fatal form already noted. In his death President Grant has sustained the loss of a firm friend and a trusted confidant, while the country has lost an earnest and faithful servant. As the head of the War Depart ment, he was the very opposite of Secretary Stanton. He was merely the mouth-piece of the President, without a will of his own that could conflict with the policy of his superior; yet so thoronghly familiar was he with the views and wishes of his chief that his presence at the head of this important branch of the public service was practically equiva lent to the Immediate supervision of the President himself. He hud been earnest, honest, and faithful to Grant and to the country In this, as in all the other responsible positions which he filled during the past eight years, and the loss occasioned by his death will fall with equal weight on both. While reflecting the views aud enforcing the policy of the President, he still brought. to the discharge of his duties a h'.gh order of execuitye ability, which en abled him to dispose of the routine business in the promptest and most satisfactory manner; and the earnestness with which he seconded the efforts of the President aud General Sherman t inaugurate a system of economy in the vast machinery of which he was the head, gave promise of lasting benefit to the public service. The circumstances attending Secretary Rawlins death were of the most distressing character. In his last hours he asked repeatedly for the President, whose departure from Saratoga had been deluyed by the contradictory nature of the despatches pre ceding the one which at last announced that his faithful friend and comrade In arms was beyond the reach of human skill. His first wife, by whom he had two daughters, both still living, as already stated died in the sunimtv of 1861, just as he was about entering upon his military career. During the Vlcksburg campaign he made the acquaintance of Miss Hurlbut, his second wife, who became a mother scarcely a week ago. She Is a native of Danbury, Conn., and was an lnvolutary resident of the beleaguered town.After the capitula tion, General Grant established his headquarters at the house In which this lady was residing, and In this way his then Chief of Staff was brought In contact with the future companion of his life. Mrs. Rawllus has for some time past been lying ill at her old home in Danbury, and In this way the death-bed of the Minister of War lacked the comforMng presence of both the woman aud the man who were nearest to his heart.

CHAMPION SAFES, PniXAPBLrniA, August 27, 1369. Messrs. Farril, Birring a Co. Gentlemen : In the year 1856 1 unfortunately was In business In the Artisan Building, which was de stroyed by Dre on the 10th of April. I had then In use what I supposed was a Fire-Proof Safe, but upon opening It I found everything destroyed, and nre burning therein. You will recollect, gentlemen, there was several of your Safes In that fire, also several In the Are at Sixth and Commerce streets, the next May, Ave weeks afterwards, all of which upon being opened proved they were flre-proof Indeed, for I witnessed the opening of the most of them, and In every case the contents were preserved, while Safes of other makers were purtially or entirely destroyed. I at once concluded to have something that I could de pend upon, and purchased one of your Safes. The safe I purchased of you at that time was sub jected to a white heat (which was witnessed by sev eral gentlemen that reBlde In the neighborhood) at the destruction of my Marble Paper factory, 921 Wallace street, on the afternoon and evening of tha 24th lust. After digging the safe from the ruins, and opening It this morning, I was much pleased to find everything, consisting of books, papers, money and silverware, all right. I shall want another of your safes as soon as I can get a place to continue mv business In. I could not rest contented with any other make of sares. CHARLES WILLIAMS, Marble per Manufacturer.
