MONEY REWARDS FOR CATCHINO
CRIMINALS.
From Ito N. T. Time.
Reference baa already been made in those
colomns to the impolicy of permitting pub
lic officers to participate in the rewards
offered for the arrest of criminals. Whether
it is conducive to the highest morality that
even private citizens should beoome ao
custoDoedto expect pay for doing what is,
after all, every citizen's duty, is at least
donbtfnl. Rut there can be no doubt what
ever of the impropriety of the practice in the
case of officers of just ioe. They are employed
and paid for the express pnrpose of appre
hending evil-doers, and to offer the in gratui
ties for doing their paid work is simply to
debauch their honesty and rain their effi
ciency. Ilow utterly demoralizing and destructive
of the very end at whioli it aims is the whole
system of rewards, the Nathan case admirably
exemplifies. Here the rewards offered for
the arrest of the murderer amounted in the
aggregate to $.0,0(0, and, as a consequence,
the interests of justice were totally subordi
nated to the cravings of avarice. More thaa
once, it is said, the suspooted assassin was
allowed to Blip out of the very grasp of the
law, because bis captors were fearful that
their greed would not be satisfied with a fair
proportion of the spoils. And even now,
when suspicion has almost matured to cer
tainty of the criminal's identity, when his
name and description are matter of
publio notoriety, he is still preserved
from arrest by the sordid jealousy
of rival detectives. We reprinted the other
day, from a Buffalo paper, an artiole in which
plain expression was given to the convic
tion that Superintendent Kelso's offer of
$2500 for the arrest of Forrester was diotated
by a desire to monopolize the remainder of
the original reward himself. Of ooarse, with
this state of feeling among the persons most
interested in catching Forrester, there is little
likelihood that he will ever be caught at all.
And we have thus presented the curious
anomaly that the more heinous the orime,
and the greater the reward offered for the
apprehension of the criminal, the safer he is
from detection or punishment. It is, perhaps,
not too much to say that if all rewards for the
Nathan murderer were withdrawn to-day,
there would be a better chance of the arrest
of Forrester than at any time since he was
first suspected of the murder.
The plan of bribing our police offiaera to
do their duty is radically wrong. It aoous
toms them to look for a law-breaker, not be
cause he has broken the law which they are
sworn and paid to protect, but because his
arrest will put so many dollars in their pookets.
What is worse, it substitutes for the sense of
duty and professional ambition whioh would
furnish the surest guarantee of energy and
fidelity in the force, the most paltry
and deteriorating of incentives to exertion.
What would an army be worth in whioh
honor was fostered by avarice, and
valor stimulated by pecuniary rewards ? Our
policemen are in some sense soldiers, and
susceptible to many of the influences that
affect a military career. If we educate them
to a high standard of duty, if we encourage
them to look for the rewards of courage and
skill in the publio approbation of their supe
riors and the community, in promotion and
In deoorations of honor rather than in dollars
and cents, we shall do more toward the sup
pression of crime than by making a rich man
of every successful thief-taker.
CHRISTIAN JUSTICE.
From, the A'. T. Tribune.
Our Saxon progenitors, heathens as they
were, bad a babit not only of putting their
enemies to death, but of amusing themselves
by inclosiBg them in a pit filled with vipers
and venomous reptiles. The enemies, being
heathens also, very Beldom testified that this
torturing system conduced to salutary repent
ance, or caused them to take a loftier or more
healthful view of life at their exit through its
final gateway. They saw only an nnjust, in
exorable fate behind their crimes, their de
feats, their jeering enemies, or me very
snakes that stung them. Naturally they be
lieved that a better chance waited for them
bevond. ''I smile with pleasure," cried the
pirate Lodbrog, facing the Saxons from bis
torturing pit, "because I know that a seat is
kept for me in the balls of Odin, where at
last I shall drink beer from the skulls of my
enemies. I have struck with my sword in
one-and-nfty combats; there is no king on
earth more famous than I. Yet now I am dying;
a viper opens my breast and sucks my blood,
Man is a slave to destiny; he obeys the deoree
of the spirifs that rule at bis birth." Rat
Lodbrog's famous death-song was sung more
than a thousand years ago. Christianity has
, done its work in all that while upon us his
descendants. There iB, it is true, a certain
sublimity in the story of mistaken life, and
the despair and courage with whioh be looked
back into it and forward into the horrors of
death; but the whole tragedy fades like i
fable back into the obscurity of past ages,
Nowadays, when praotical, healthful common
sense and Christ s love, through Ilia people,
have taken the world in charge, there is no
such thing among us as tortured prisoners, or
licensed deadly serpents to coil around help
less men and fill their veins with poison while
society looKS smiling on.
One of our exchanges brought to us a story
yesterday ao common and haokneyed that
we had to push ourselves away from it, as it
were, to eaten us real meaning. A Washing
ton reporter goes to see Grady, the murderer
of Mrs. Faulkner, a day or two before his
execution. He finds "a young man, slender
in frame; eood looking, in faot handsome
with large black eyes, lustrous and searching,
fjiivuuBiy appealing, as tnougn every new
face were to be searohed for some chance of
escape. The only aperture to his oell whioh
admits the light of day is faoed by the soaf
fcld. For days be has not been able to loak
out or draw a breath of fresh air without
seeing the engine of his destruction. This
morning the rope was tested by different

says the man deliberately. "Soueimes it

man replied.

CHECK TO MONOPOLY.
From the A. Y. World.
We have already called attention to the
fact that the Governor of Ii.iuois reoently re
fused bis assent to a bill subsidizing a corpo
ration whose funcUons are entirely beyoud
the limits of the State, and we now record
the coincident action of the Legislature of
New Jersey in putting an end to all the
schemes of surrendeting the word used is
"leasing her internal improvements to the
great Pennsylvania monopoly. We rejoice
sincerely at both, or, indeed, at any manifes
tation of State independence in this direction,
just as we did when Governor Geary had the
inconceivable audacity, the other day, to ask
his Legislature to look to the safety of the
sinking fund, and see that it was no further
manipulated, it was too late to stay the
mischief, but Mill it was a protest. New
Jersey is to be especially congratulated on
her escape. Had as it is, better a thousand
fold the Federal Air-Line than chaining a
community, now tree troui debt, aud im
provements of untainted tinauoial oh-traoter,
to the chariot wheels of an alien corporation,
and that too at a time wtieu the tire of its
worn-out and attenuated credit is just com
ing off, and the mass is slowly but surely
sinking to the earth, for all that we have
had occasion to say uu this subject the reward
has been, naturally enough, the insane
ribaldry of a looal press to whioh we are sub
limely indiuer nt; but at the same time an
expression of confidence on the part of con
siderate and SRifuoioiiH men in the state
region, capitalists too, in the forecast
we have ventured on I hat is very gratify.
ine. When vi e intiuiHted that the V ice-f resi
dent of the rennhilvaiiia Company had quite
as ruucb as he could do in managing his tnree
hundred miles of road with its branches, aud
the express companies and the Legislature
and the dependent but sometimes mutinous
municipalities, without winding up the insol
vent estate of Mr. Oakes Ames and his asso
ciates, great was the wrath of Philadtdpuia
typography. "The dauui of - Kw Ywrk in
sealed," nays one billy paper. "The World
reeks with falsehood, and is redolent with
malice," cries another. The imagination of
one sees Nineveh typifying New York the bat
building his nest under Washington's dis
mounted statue in Union bouare, aud the owl,
bird of wisdom, perched on all that is left of
Mr. Lincoln; and yet within a hundred miles
of this malarious Mosul, on its branch of the
Euphrates, Philadelphia, a joyous capital
with one line of steamers and scores of canal-
boats. The other sees in us the base ass -mi u
of Philadelphia's prosperity. Now the truth
is, as we have all along averred, and as sensi
ble men in that excitable community begin to
see, it is in the interest of Philadelphia we
write our New York interests being only in-
directlv and remotely involved. Had the
Pennsylvania company got control of New
Jersey, in what way would Philadelphia have
been injured or New York hurt ? Way station
as by the course of nature the former is now,
it would, in slang phrase, literally have been
"nowhere" bad Jersey City and nSt West
Philadelphia been the terminal point. But in
more material relations than such as regulate
stations and switches is the question of in
terest material to our Philadelphia neigh
bors. Where would rum fall most heavily in
case of a collapse on us or on them? Ou
the relatively few New York capitalists who,
on their own account or as agents for foreign
constituents, bold a portion of some of the
multitudinous etrata of bonds on whioh the
great scheme rests, or on the city of Philadel
phia, an already debt-burdened municipality,
its banks, and savings funds, and insurance
companies, and trustees, and widows and
orphans? We could manage to survive,
much as we might deplore it. Not they
whom, angered at what in no nnkindness
we say, we put on their guard. We are safe,
thanks to Governor Huffman's prescience,
who long ego, at some risk to his popu
larity, saw the danger of the intrusion of this
corporation within our limits, and warned it
away. We believe, as we have said, that
Governor Geary's instinots prompt h'.m to
revolt; but what can he, poor man, etfeot
with a Republican Legislature owned by this
company and the press throughout the com
monwealth subsidized? If our vaticinations
are unreasonable and unfounded, they do no
barm in this camp. It was only i aside of
Troy and Jerusalem that Cassandra a id
Salome bad so uncomfortable a time, and we
know what happened to those inorodulo is
inland cities. Rut the forecast of the future
rests on axioms of political aud economical

FORNEY IN THE CUSTOMS.
from the Ilarrinburg Patriot.
To silence the grumblings of the Press
about Sumner's removal, San Domingo an-
nexxtion and other blunders in the adminis
tration policy, Grant has nominated John W.
Foiney for Collector of Customs at Philadel
phia, and Forney, as was anticipated, has
promptly aocepted. He, in faot, lost no time
in giving notice of his entire willingness to
serve his country, for fear of a change in the
presidential humor. When so many are
clamoring for an office delays are dan
gerous, and it will not do to be too coy about
snatching the prize. Forney is too sturdy a
place-hunter to let such a gift as the control
of the Philadelphia Customs slip through his
fii gfrs. If be has sometimes aspired to
higher things, he has often shown his willing-
nei-s to accept much humbler positions.
Grunt committed a political blunder in in
sulting Sumner, but he is doing what he can
to retrieve bis position by purchasing Sum
ner s toadies, lie knew Forney s price, and
has paid it without much higgling. Rut poor
a situation as the rhilauelpbia Custom House
is to a man of Forney's ambition, it is yet
more than his political influence is worth.
His power as a politician has long since
reached zero in Pennsylvania. He is in
the confidence of neither the Curtin nor
Cameron faction, and has few followers any
where, lor a long time the enemy of Came
ron, and the vindictive assailant of his per
sonal character, Forney suddenly became his
servile adherent, and now flatters the man
whom be was accustomed to revile. The ene
mies of Cameron in the Curtin faotion were
indignant at Forney's conduct, and learned to
despit-e him as thoroughly as the Cameron
faction distrust him.
Forney's deeign of playing the Douglas
game of 1858 over ngain with Sumner for a
hero was manifest enough. If he deceived
himself by an apparent analogy in the two
cases, he made a very common mistake of
politicians. His growls about Sumner's re
moval were not so fierce as to cause Grant to
close the door of conciliation. He roared at
him as gently as Snug, the joiner. Grant
took the hint, and graciously came forward,
after consulting Drexel and Borie, and dapped
Forney in the Custom House to shut his
mouth. Orrant has enough experience in the
world and in human nature to know that the
hungry fellow is the true revolutionist. A
politician with his belly fail of meat seldom
is known to strike.
Mr. Buchanan might have appeased Forney
in the same way in 1858. but his ambition
then caused him to aspire to a first-class mis
sion or a plnce in the Cubinet. There was a
negotiation about a printing job in Washing
ton, but that was permitted to tail through,
end rorney revolted. l$y dexterously making
lifce of the potent name of Douglas, and
availitift biuiMelf of rq ffcll-perTftding popular
sentiment against slavery extension, he
managed to impress the Republicans with an
idea of his importance, and as a reward ob
tained what they bad to bestow the clerk
ship of the House of Representatives.
With all his lofty aspirings for political
honors, Forney has shown a commendable
readiness to take whatever iie can get when
the pinch comes. At one time the rival of
Cameron for a seat in the Senate of the
United States, he subsided to the clerkship
of the House. At another time a candidate
for the highest pesitions in the gift of Presi
dent Lino. ln, he contented himself with the
office of Secretary of the Senate, which he
did not give np until his virulent abuse of
distinguished Senators rendered it no longer
tenable. But a little while ago a hopeful
aspirant for the position of Postmaster
General of the United States, he comes down
to the colleotorship of the customs
in Philadelphia, which Grant su
perciliously flings to him. Such an
office in New York, or Boston, or New Orleans
means something. But he is collector in a
large city with no or little commeioe. The sails
that be may count in the harbor are for the
most part coasting vessels which bring no re
ceipts. Philadblphia is a big town, but the
collecting of its customs is not a big offioe.
It will do well enough for Forney. But if be
end any of the mousing politicians of Phila
delphia imagine that they can exercise any
power to control or check the mighty popular
revolution that is approaching, the near future
will show how ridiculous is their estimate of
their own influence. Forney may betray
Sumner to Grant and Cameron, but the politi
cal fates will not be appeased by any offerings
which they may bring to the altar. It is all
the same whether Forney goes to the custom
boube or to nan Domingo.
CniCKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST.
From the Uarriuburg Patriot
The sins which nations or individuals com
mit merely because they possess the wanton
power are sure, sooner or later, to meet with
the stroke of retributive justice. It has been
the boast of the Republican party for the past
ten years to allow no differences of opinion
with the central power of the Government.
Freedom of speech was denied. Liberty of
the press was scouted. He who attempted
the exercise of either of these holy franchises
who dared to speak as he was convinced
was right, or print what he believed to be
tiue- was bunted down like a publio enemy,
pursued by the armed minions of the Govern
ment even unto death. hen Ltuooln told a
vulgar joke, the cation was forced to laugh to
ei-CHpe a charge of treason. When Stanton
perpetrated anfatrocity, freemenwure made to
bow their heads in sign of acquiescence, or
accept incarceration behind the gloomy walls
of a military prison. The Republican party
expounded and preached this doctrine as the
only gauge of loyalty. V. hat has been the
rtsult of it? We answer, the building up of
as ruthlets and intolerant a military despotism
as ever outraged the life or a republio. The
republics of t he past have all been destroyed
hyiiist the couie of action pursued by the
injf ten
to all intents and purposes a military despot
ism, in whioh the warlike spirit of an educated
soldier combats the genius of our civil insti
tutions and denies to representatives in co
ordinate branches thereof the right
of the freedom of speeoh. The Senate
of the United SUtes, when it made Ulysses
S. Grant General, conferred on him a power
transcending that of the President of the
United States; and now this same man Grant,
arrogantly assuming that be embodies as an
individual the genuine authority of the
Government, lords it over the Senate and
drags that over-dignified body low into the
dirt. All this is the result of Republican in
culcation, and who now is to counteract its
evil ? The civil power of the Government no
longer means anything. He colleots its
revenues by the power of the bayonet and
enforces its laws by the power ot military
decrees. Grant relies more on the army and
the navy than he does on the judiciary for
nsrrying out the pouoy of bis administration.
He is encouraged in this faith by acts of
Congress which give him power to hurl
armed hosts of ruffians on any section of the
country to do whatever be deems proper.
The EniDeror of Russia has no greater power
than this, and the Queen of England not so
much. With us it is a logical result
of Republican teaching during the
late war, and now it is forced on
us again as pure Republican doctrine. There
must be no differences with the central power
of the Government. The people must have
no opinions at variance with the wishes or the
speculations of their rulers. Lincoln and
Cameron, and Stanton and Butler taught this
execrable doctrine during the war. Grant
and Cameron and the Dent family, backed by
a servile majority of Republican senators,
now carry it into practice. The chickens have
come borne to roost. The representatives of
the people dare not differ with the HiXecuttve.
The law-making power of the Government
must obey the will of the Executive to the
disregard of the wishes of the people. Such
is the situation. There is no escape from it
but in revolution, or in the orderly triumph
of the Democratio party at the ballot-box.
