Hanging for Ilorse-Stoallng.
The Georgia Legislature are determined to
iang somebody. 3efore the war the objects of
their kind consideration were the negro-thieves,
as they were called. To any one caught in the
act of seducing slaves from their allegiance
to their masters, was given wa short shrift and"
a long rope ;" but late events have rendered
this style of capital punishment altogether
unnecessary, as there are no longer any
bondsmen to be released. But they cannot
altogether refrain from chivalric exercises,
and abolitionists and slave-stoalers having
been disposed ol, the horse thieves next come
in lor their share of condign punishment.
This may possibly be a dangerous experi
ment. It is strongly suspected that promt
nent Georgians were engaged during the late
war In relieving good Union citizens ol their
equine and bovine stock. The Legislature of
Georgia had better be very careful about
passing an act whose stringency may bring
some of their own necks within the bailiwick
of the noose.
An old adage advises those who reside In
glass houses to be careful in their use of pro
jectiles ; and may it not add to the happiness
of some of the citizens ot Georgia if this pro
posed act should become a law. Prudence
and discretion are virtues, even among legis
lators, though they are not always found
Where we might reasonably expect them.
The felony of appropriating your neighbor's
horse is a grave one, but hardly rises to the
dignity of a hanging matter. Throughout the
Whole West such cases have usually been dis
posed of in "Judge LjncU's Court," and that
light speedily. It is time that all barbarity
and vengeance should be wiped from our
jstatute-books. When Just and appropriate
punishment is affixed to crime, and thu
offenders find that they receive their deserts,
they will cease to violate the law, and in most
cases obey the law of nature and of God by
'obtaining their bread by the sweat of their
brow.
Trouble on thk Border. We predict
that before the arrival of the month of April
tliere will have occurred difficulties on the
t order of the Canadas. There is every pro-
n.ise at the present time that the termination
Of ihe Reciprocity Treaty will be the signal
for bV lrm'shes and miniature battles between
the fishermen of the States and the Govern
ment officers of the Trovinces. Already the
Governor-General of Canada has issued a
proclamation warning the United States fish
ermen that, after the expiration of tne Reci-
prcclty Treaty on the 17th of March next, the
provisions of the laws previous to 1854 will
again come Into force, and they will be ex
eluded from the right of fishing la British
Waters.
Of course, no one the least familiar with
the pugnacious tendencies of the fishermen
will doubt lor a moment that they will resist
the proclamation. The fact that the traffic
is illegal will act as an incentive to engaging
In it. The right which is thus declared by
the Governor-General to be abrogated has
been claimed and exercised by the fishermen
since the old colonial days ; and they certainly
are not inclined at this late hour, after making
their living out of the trade for over a cen
tury, to bow meekly before an alleged right.
and yield "their means of maintenance at the
order of a foreigner. We hope that proper
legislation will prevent any conflict of in
terests, and that before the 17th ot March,
the date when the troaty expires, some
arrangement will have been effected by the
United States which will temporarily extend
that provision which relates to the fisheries,
We can hardly blame these men should they
decline to yield to what they esteem an arbi
trary demand, and persist in engaging in a
business which is their only livelihood. The
Injustice which has been suflered under the
Reciprocity Treaty has demanded that, for the
general good, it bo revoked. While, how
ever, the public good has been conserved,
that particular branch of industry will be
ruined, if the terms of the law be complied
with. They have labored for years to perfect
their system, and have at last acquired great
proficiency in It because of their enterprise
and their bravery.
The Massachusetts and Maine fishermen
derived large iroflts from the trade, and
it was rapidly increasing, their superior
energy and industry giving them a marked
superiority in their business over the pro-
vhiclalists. New England will unquestion
ably suffer as much, if not more than the
Canadians by the lapse of the treaty, which is
likely, to be improved upon thA other side of
the frontier into an oportunlty for building up
British interests at our expense.
Knowing the iU-feeling beld by the resi
dents on the borders, we anticipate trouble,
crave and serious trouble, unless some
. remody be secured. If both GovernmanU
neglect to provide a cure, let them remember
that 'the blame of breaking the peace lies
rather with their refusal than with that spirit
of daring which has induced the fishermen to
demand a right which has been theirs for one
hundred and twenty years.
Mr. Willits moved an -amendment to the
motion to pive the contact tor cleaning the
streets to Hcnkt Bioklit, that for the purpose
of cleanmng tbe streeia, lanes, and alleys ot the
city it shall be divided Into two districts, viz. all
south of Market street, Including Market street
and We;t Philadelphia, to fce called the Southern
XMHtrlct: all norm ol Market street 10 do cauea
the Northern District, and tht the Mayor be
authorized to enter into a contract with compe
te t persons," etc
Mr. Evans withdrew his amendment, and ex
pressed his willingness to lavor Mr. Willits'
amendment.
Here followed a general discussion, entered
Into b.v nparly emj member.
bit. tBAKCisoUB cauea tne previous question,
and the amendaient of Mr Wili.its was aorreed
to. The bill then passed Yeis, 28: nave. 12.
Tna proceedings of Councils, if correctly
reported, exhibit a most remarkable example
of a legislative body giving into the hands of
an executive that power wbici belongs by
right to itself. Th3 contract for cleansing
the streets has always been esteemed one of
the largest undertakings that the municipality
could grant to any citizen. It is, in fact, the
disbursement ot hundreds of thousands of
dollars out of the City Treasury, without any
responsibility. To grant this power to any
particular person was always esteemed the
privilege of Counc'h, and the utmost discre
tion was always evinced In the selection of
the contractor. This new bill, which his
passed by so large a majority, maes the con
tract a double one, and gives It into the hands
of the Mayor. We are opposed to any such
delegation ot power. It belongs by law to
Councils, and it Is a wrong for them to grant
It to any one man.
Let them give the contract, and let it be
given to the lowest bidder, and not have it
doubled and then given into the hands of tha
Mayor. One man can clean .the whole city
much cheaper than two men can each clean
a kalf. The amount of money, therefore, to
be disbursed will be enlarged : and while we
do not deny that the present plan may secure
a more thorough cleansing, yet with the in
cieaseofcost should come an increase of the
care with which the contract is given.
Up io Time. The New York Herald,
influenced by a laudable desire to be always
on the winning Bide, commences its nomina
tions for the mext Pieiidcncy in the following
article :
"We are within two years, eiirrit moBlhs. and
twelve days of the next Presidential election.
Time flies rapidly tn those davs, una the great
strugele of ldu8 will soon be upon us. Toe poli
ticians, this clique, that clique, and the other,
are sat pint; and miuine to secure the pmo, and
working to turn the Adniimstratlou to their pur
poses and to beforr and betray the peoole. To
bead them off, and to simplify the radical war
upon the Adnnnistrntion, we proclaim General
Grant as the independent champion of the army
and the people for the next Presidency."
It is a notable fact that the policy of the
Herald has always been to nominate every
prominent man for the Chief Executiveshio of
the nation, and when any one is selected, to
reler to the particular article in which his
claims were favored, and claim the credit of
being his original nominator. Hence we may
expect that to General Gbaxt will be added
a long list, including every man to whom the
popular partiality could possibly turn. By
such a course Bennett is always up to time-
Tns Ladies' IIome of Employment.
The last annual report of the Board of Mana
gers of the Western Association of Ladies for
the Employment of the Poor, places that In
stitution In the foremost rank of the charities
of our city, to which the liberal should extend
a helping hand. 'I ho Home of Employment
has been in active operation for twenty years,
and has aided the destitute women in our
midst to support themselves without the degra
dation of accepting alms. It furnishes work
for them to do, pays them lor it, and allows
them the use of well-furnished rooms and
good substantial meals, at the IIome, Nos. 19
and 21 South Seventeenth street. During the
past few years the demand upon the treasury
has been lightened because of the number em
ployed by Government. As this avenue of
labor will be closed to them during the com
ing season, and other resources also stopped,
every exertion will be needed to meet the in
creased demand there will probably be upon
the funds of the institution,' to admit as great
a number as possible within its walls. Their
annual income was $3500, of which all has
been expended except $200. The claims of
this Association are undoubted, and it is but
lust that the most liberal of all the cities of
America should sustain its reputation by
giving cheerfully to aid the good work which
our ladies ore doing.
