THE HOMICIDE CASES IN THE
COURT OF OYER AND TERMINER.
One of tUe docks of the new Court Ilouso
yesterday contained ten men, arraigned in
nine different cases, for killing nine citizens
of Philadelphia, and the Assistant District
Attorney announced that eighteen persons
were now held for trial in homicide cases.
This is an unusual spectacle in this locality.
All the imputed crimes were perpetrated dur
ing the lost few months, none of them
dating back further than July, and most of
them having been committed during Septem
ber and October. Mr. Dwicht announced
that "one of the cases would be taken ;
tip out of order, because it was ;
represented to be one of more than ,
ordinary aggravation," and this statement,
while it was entirely appropriate and ncccs- t
sary under the circumstances, indicates one
of the reasons why murders of an iut'erior j
degree of criminality ore becoming so fright-
fully common in this city. Experience has '
repeatedly demonstrated that the extrenw
penalty of the law is rarely enforced against j
murderers except those who are incapable of
adducing any extenuating circumstances
whatever to palilate their guilt. Homicide
cases oocur by scores, while there are but a
few executions in any given year. Juries are
loth to convict for murder any prisoners
whose villainy is not of the deepest dye, and
Governors are slow to affix their signat tire to
the death-warrant of convicts whose offenses f
are less heinous than those of
Probst or Twitchell. If a plausi
ble excuse can be given, if any allegation
is made with an apparent show of truth that
the murderer had suffered a real or imaginary
wrong at the hands of his victim, or that the
fatal blow was inflicted in the heat of passion,
the prisoner has so many chances of escaping
the extreme penalty of the law, that those
who contemplate crimes of this description
are no longer impressed with a wholesome
dread of the gallows. Our present courts are
so much overrun with business that many
trials are necessarily postponed from time to
time, and these continued postponements
afford another important loophole of escape
by the opportunities they afford for dimin
ishing the force of damaging testimony. Yes
terday a prisoner charged with larceny, who
had obtained bail after his arrest and then
fled from the cily, but who was subsequently
recaptured and arraigned, was acquitted be
cause the chief witness for the Commonwealth
bad died during the' nine months intervening
between the perpetration of the criuio and
the day of trial. So in homicide cases of an
inferior grade, delays are often fatal to the
prosecution, and they add greatly to the
chances of securing immunity from punish
ment. However ready our courts may
be to do their full duty to the com
munity, they cannot accomplish impossi
bilities. It is beyond their power
to try promptly the innumerable criminal
cases that are constantly arising, and to avoid
delays in all instances. They cannot control
the predisposition of juries to make too large
an allowance for extenuating circumstances,
and after they have finished their work it is
beyond their province to prevent an injudi
cious exercise of the pardoning power, or to
fix the period when a death-warrant shall be
issued.
It is one of the most imperative duties of
the State and municipal governments to pro
tect life, and the most striking difference
between barbarous and civilized communities
is displayed in the contrast between the reck
less brutality with which it is sacrificed in the
'former and the care displayed in preserving
it in the latter. The frequency of homicides
in our midst painfully indicates that there are
defects in our system, which month after
month and year after year grow more danger
ous and alarming, and it behooves all who
have at heart the general welfare to provide
the most effective remedies and safeguards
that can be devised. So far as the courts
are concerned, no pains should be spared to
insure the infliction of prompt and certain
punishment to all who are clearly guilty. If
too much business is imposed upon the pre
sent Judges, additional Judges should should
be appointed; and it has beoome a momentous
question whether additional restrictions
should not be thrown around the pardoning
power.
Independent of the Courts, however, the
people must look for protection to the police,
and it is a crying shame that a body of nieu
for whose maintenance they must pay a mil.
lion of dollars, are orgatized without refe
rence to their efficiency. The best body of
police in the world will not entirely suppress
crime, but an inferior, untrained, or partially
Vicious police force is necessarily incompe
tent to discharge the important duties in
trusted to it. There is no better gauge for
the uecurity of property and safety of life in
large modern cities than the efficiency of the
police departments; and the unhappy munici
palities which are bereft of the protection
that only a first-rate force can give, from par
tisan motives, can justly impute to the au
thors of such injudicious and dangerous
changes the frightful increase of crime which
they necessarily produce. To diminish honii
jcide cases we must have many reforms, but
uty must extend to the existing agencies for
the repression of crime as well as those which
ptovide for. Us punishment.
PRIZE MO NET.
To an ordinary observer it is exceedingly diffi
cult to see why the navy, any more than the
army, should be entitled to prize money for
property captured or destroyed in warfare.
During the Rebellion much dissatisfaction
and heartburning were caused by this discrimi
nation in favor of the naval branch of the
military service, and the question was re
peatedly asked what claim the navy had, in law
and justice, to the enormous sums that were
divided among the officers and men as a gra
tuity for performing their simple duty. As
the law now stands, every person on the pay
master's roll of a naval vessel making a cap
ture is entitled to one-half of whatever it
will sell for in open market; or in event of a
vessol of the enemy being destroyed in action,
the value is assessed and divided in the same
manner between the victors and the Govern
ment, subject to a largo percentage, which
goes to the admiral of tho fleet, and to the
claims of all vessels within signal distance to
shore equally in the prize. The Government
devotes its portion of the prize money to the
support of the naval hospitals ond homes for
disabled seamen, and the rest is divided
among the officers and men in the proportion
of their rates of pay.
This prize money system is an illustration
of the conservative character of the naval
service, ond its disposition to cling to obso
lete ideas. Of course such a valuable perqui
site will not readily be given up, if the matter
is left to the decision of naval men: but it is
perfectly marvellous that no motion has been
made by outside parties to have it abolished.
It is true that, until the outbreak of the Re
bellion, nothing has occurred since the war
of ISP.' to attract public attention to it, and
it was therefore allowed to rest in peace.
During the Rebellion, however, it was the
source of constant trouble and dispute, and it
was and is still of infiuite annoyance to the
Treasury Department, which has now on its
hands unsettled claims amounting probably
to millions of dollars.
Prize money, like many other of the cus
toms that are cherished with fondest affec
tion by true blue naval men, is a relic of tho
earliest ages of naval history, when bold rovers
like Drake were looked upon as little better
than legalized pirates. In this country it is a
remnant of the privateering system, when
love of plunder was even more an incentive
to action than patriotism. The amenities of
civilized warfare have long since prohibited
armed forces on laud from appropriating to
their own use the property that may happen
to fall into their hands, and by common con
sent officers and soldiers guilty of anything
of the kind are esteemed as little better than
thieves and robbers. Of course this does not
refer to the destruction of property through
the exigencies of warfare, or to its authorized
appropriation for the relief of the necessities
of an army by order of the general com
manding.
The effect of the prize-money system du
ring the rebellion was that most of the ves
sels that did the hardest fighting and most
service in defeating the enemy came off with
little or nothing, while the light-armed boats,
that cruised about on the open sea outside of
the reach of shot and shell, secured the
richest rewards. Many of these vessels were
extremely lucky, capturing ship after ship
laden with valuable goods, and every officer
and man pocketing thousands of dollars. Not
only did the army complain of this when vast
stores of cotton and other valuables fell into
their hands, to be appropriated entire by the
Government, but tho men of the navy who
did the most fighting could not avoid feeling
jealous of their more fortunate brethren who
pocketed greenbacks instead of glory.
Exactly what constituted a prize has never
yet been settled, and there is a suit now pend
ing on behalf of Admiral Farragut's fleet for
property captured on the Mississippi river at
the time of the great victory at New Orleans.
The Government claimed the whole of this,
but Congress, at its last session, authorized
the institution of a suit to test the matter.
General Butler, who has charge of the case,
has filed a bill of information in the District
Court of the District of Columbia, praying
judgment, etc., and the Government has
been called upon to present its defense.
This suit involves over a million of dollars,
ond we hope that the sailors will secure the
money, which they certainly are entitled to if
there is any virtue in the existing arrange
ment. This, however, has nothing whatever to do
with the principle of allowing the navy to
claim prize money, which we are convinced
is a wrong one. Admiral Porter is taking a
great deal of credit to himself for the re
forms he has introduced since he has been
de fueto Secretary, and much stress is laid
upon the reduction of the expenses of the
navy and the amount of money saved to the
Government. Will he take the initiative in
moving for an abolishment of the prize
money system? Now is the time, if ever, to
move in the matter, as the reform can be
effected without injury to the rights or pros
pects of any one; and we sincerely hope that
Congress will at its next session take up the
subject and give it a thorough investigation.
It is because the prize-money system has
never been investigated that it has been
allowed to stand thus long, and an inquiry
into the principle upon which it is based
will certainly lead to its speedy discon
tinuance. The officers and men, however, who assisted
in making captures during the Rebellion are
certainly entitled to the money allowed them
under the existing laws, and to a Bpeedy
settlement of their claims by the Treasury
Department. Much dissatisfaction has been
caused by the slow, dilatory, and uncertain
manner of doing business at the Fourth
Auditor's Office, and the facilities afforded to
claim agents have given just cause for com
plaint. Claims are sometimes settled in part,
and no intimation given that there is a
balance still due, and the person entitled to
the money knows nothing about it unless
it may happen to come to hU eari by the
i meiest accident. There are tkoxwal of
dollars now laying iu the Treasury that will
probably never be applied for, simply be
cause the persons entitled to the money do
not know that anything is due them. This is
criaiinal bad management that desorves the
severest condemnation, and if Secretary
Bontwell can spare a little time from his more
important duties of regulating the finances of
the nation, he can bestow it with good effect
in examining into the stylo iu which some ot
his subordinates do business.
JrsT the Tiuno ron Him. The New York
World thinks that tho errors and defects of
the last census may be avoided by entrusting
the work next year to tho superinteadence of
"an experienced statistician." This, tho
World thinks, will not be difficult, for "there
are several in the country who could manage
the matter ably and thoroughly." Principal
among these is the gentleman who has at
tained such a wide-spread reputation as "the
Arithmetic Man ' of the World. It "an ex
perienced statistician" is needed, surely here
is one. This "Arithmetic Man" is a genius
in his woy. He has never studied Arithmetic,
it is true; but ho has accomplished such won
ders in his ignorance that there is no telling
what ho could and would do if he had. The
ordinary methods of dealing with figures ho
despises with his whole heart, and scorns
all the rules which are laid down
in the books. Tho so-called great mathe
maticians have often bothered themselves and
amused the world by endeavoring to demon
strate that two and two, when put together,
invariably and inevitably make four; but "the
Arithmetic Man" has, with only a tithe of their
tribulation, established tho fact that two and
two can be as readily twisted into seven, and
that five times eight are one thousand and
thirteen. If this man is entrusted with tho
management of tho next census, we could
expect to see the statistics of the country
worked up into more curious and startling
combinations than even Dolmar himself is
capable of. If any man in the world can
"manage the matter ably and thoroughly,"
surely "the Arithmetic Man" of the World
is the man.
The Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, in
his speech at tho opening of the Provincial
Parliament yesterday, recommended that,
efforts be made to induce larger immigration
into the Dominion. The wisdom of this ad
vice requires no demonstration. Not only
does the great tide of European emigration
shun the shores of the Dominion, but even
the people who are born upon its soil desert
it for the land of greater promise which lies
to the south.
President Grant does not care about a
second term; in fact, he already begins to
count the months which must elapse before
he can get out of his present position, just
as he used to do when a cadet at West Point.
In other words, when General Grant leaves
the Presidential Mansion, he will regard it as
an "emancipation," just as the late Andrew
Johnson did.
