SCAINDAL•aiONGEHISI
It is an open question whether the counter
feiter, or the scandal-monger is the greatest
pest of society. The counterfeiter scatters
his base •coin or his false currency, and
spreads distress and loss among thousands of
poor or ignorant people upon whom he relies
t l i .tiefly - for - the success of his crime. • The
isebief that he does is very, enduring and
very dillicult to remedy or efface. But his
base-coin is finally nailed to the counter and
teases to cheat and deceive the public. The
scandal monger's reckless, busy tongue sets a
lie afloat in the community, and who shall
say that•itaevil effect is over completely neu
tralized and eradicated? The old adage that
"Falsehood travels a league while Truth is
putting on his boots," has very few exceptions
to its general law, and slander, once started
against a class,an institution,or an individual,
- will continue to find believers, years after Its
falsehood has been exposed and the scandal
monger held up to the infamy which he or
she deserves. Heart-burnings in deinestic
life; shadows upon private or public -repute
• lion; prejudice and ill-willNainst honorable
business establishments or the moat excellent
charities; these and many like results are the
work of the scandal-monger.
The scandal-monger is not always a woman,
though women, undoubtedly, do their full
share of this bad work. In some of its de
, partments, men are checked by that principle
of personal accountability to which society
ordinarily holds him who utters or dissemi
nates a scandal or a slander; but, in many
phases of the scandel-monger's business there
is a perfect equality of sex.
Men and women circulate scandal and
slander from various motives. The mere
love of tattle, the old Athenian fondness for
"hearing and telling some new things," the
American trait of exaggeration, which has
been so highly eultivated by many of our
writers and public speakers, the craving for
notoriety, the promptings of passion or
malice, the reckless.indifference to the rights
and feelings of others, the personal impunity
which the great majority of scandal-mongers
are permitted to enjoy, are some of the
reasons why so much mischief is constantly
• done by the tongues and, pens of men and
women, who, if they received a tithe of their
deserts, would be banished to some Western
Reservation, where the race would soon be
come extinct by the same process that ended
the days of the famous Kilkenny cats.
We have lately had two marked illustra
tions of the operations of different branches
of the scandal-monger's trade. Most of the
recent assaults upon the Pennsylvania Hos
pital for the insane and its excellent man
agers and officers come fairly within the strict
•definitions of scandal and slander. For one
hundred-and-seventeen years, the citizens of
Philadelphia have sustained this institution
with a just pride and with a broad liberality.
;Its whole management has, at all times, been
open to the public, and has safely challenged
the most rigid scrutiny. Its managers and
officer,p have always been chosen from among
the very best men of Philadelphia, and they
have never deserved anything but the confi
•dence and gratitude of the people. But even
this institution has not been spared from the
wanton or ignorant abuse of scandal-mongers,
and the poison with which they have -inoc
ulated the public iand will not soon lose its
power to work the mischief which is its in
evitable, and, in some measure, its designed
effect.
Still later,we have had the Hester Vaughan
ease, a remarkable illustration of the extra-
Tagil:ice into which possibly well- meaning
womenntay be led, by this reckless haste to
?also a clamor without ascertaining the truth.
litany of the harangues of the Cooper Insti
tute meeting cannot be apologized for, even
on thisground, since it is now known that
assertions were made in them, which had no
foundation whatever in the facts of the case.
For once, the triple falsehood of the charges
which these agitators brought azainst the
women of Pennsylvania, the counsel of
Beater Vaughan, and respectable gentle
men of this neighborhood, has been
exposed and exploded almost as soon as
uttered. But it is safe to .assume that thou
viands of people who have read the slanders
never see the refutation, and not only
vibi l Heater Vaughan remain upon their pedes
tals aSsaint-hood,- 7 -a huge satire upon the
whole INsbion of"modern canonization—but

'J[LBY: TIVIAL4
Trial by, jury has been for ages tuts
. the
boast of the Anglo-Saxon race, - bat it is very
rapidly coming, into contempt.. ' he daily
developments Omar courts; in all parts Of the
ctnintry,arelleepening the ecinvletien that the
modern jury trial has become the merest
shadow ofjustiee, and is rapidly degrading it
to a dismal fame. The last monstrous ab
surdity perpetrated in ihe name of law is the
action of the jury in the CAe ease at Albany.
General Cole was tried for the murder of a
Mr. Hiecock, who bad committed a terrible
outrage upon his domestic peace and henor.`
Great difficulty Was experienced in procuring
a jury, but at last twelve men, "good and
true,"ai the old form so sarcastically denomi
nates them, were found to try the ease.
-,Yes
terday they found a verdict. -The favorite
plea-of-insanity had been setup; but sym
pathy for the injured husband, strong as it
was, was not quite strong enough to swallow
the whole theory of this defence, - and
so this enlightened and Impartial jury
determined to split the difference, and decide
both for and against the defendant. Their
verdict was accordingly brought into Court,
declaring that Cole was-sane the moment be-,
fore the murder, and sane the moment after
the murder, but-they were 'in - some doubt
as to his sanity at the precise monlent of
the murder! Judge Hogebomn, evidently
a lineal descendant.of Justice Shallow, in
stead of telling the jury' that they were twelve
clowns, making a solemn jest of the law, and
remanding them until they should find a ver
dict that, should at least be couched in the
language of common sense, gravely adopts
their verdict and charges them to give the
prisoner the benefit of their doubt! Where
upon these twelve wise men of Albany give
the prisoner the benefit of this precious doubt,
and declare him "Not Guilty."
This Albany- jury certainly deserve the
palm, either for unmitigated stupidity, or for
reckless disregard for law. It has become
common enough to acquit men on the plea of
insanity, and then to acquit them, by another
jury, of being Insane. But to do this, proof
is usually required of insane conduct before
or after the 'crime is committed. In the
Albany case the jury decide that no such
proof was adduced. They simply doubt
whether the prisoner was sane at the moment
he pulled the trigger of his pistoL They have
no doubt as to any other momentaf his life.
If this case shall come to be accepted as a
precedent, there will be no difficulty or dan
ger hereafter in committing murder. There
is a clear absurdity in the pretence of de
ciding that a man is positively insane at one
particular instant of his life,when it is a i med
that he has been sane all the rest of his life;
but, according to the Albany judge and jury,
it is only necessary to declare a doubt as to
the condition of his mind at the moment
when,without witnesses to prove his appear
ance or manner, he commits murder, in
order to clear him of the consequences of his
crimd.
We are not arguing for or against the guilt
of General Cole. The...indications are that
he committed the murder under the most
terrible provocation by which man's passion
can bb aroused, and the fact would have
formed a sure foundation for the exercise of
Executive clemency. But there should be a
loud and continued protest against the pro
ceedings of courts and juries, through whose
instrumentality the majesty of the law is
thus trifledwith, and premiums are offered
for the commission of crime. Jury trial 13
degaded to the level of low farce, and the
seeds are sown in the bosom of society which
will one day bear a terrible harvest of
anarchy and disorder, which will sweep away
all protection from lite and property, except
such as each citizen can maintain by his own
strong arm.
At this, season burglaries are apt to trs-very
frequent, and within a few days a number of
houses in different parts of the city have been
entered and robbed. The usual cry is:
Where are the police? and, while the bulk of
the patrolmen are faithful and vigilant, there
are undoubtedly some who need to have that
cry rung in their ears. The vast extent of
Philadelphia, with duly seven hundred
patrolmen, of whom not more than one-half
can be on patrol at one time, is a sufficient
reason why every block of the city cann?t, be
patrolled at once. New York. with a very
much smaller area, finds eighteen hundred
patrolmen none too many, and an increase of
our police force is undoubtedly needed.
But, meantime, the existing force should
be continually stimulated to greater vigil
ance, while our detective force should be
urged to a still higher point of activity and
efficiency. Burglary is not a trade of a very
extended nature. The miscreants who prac
tice this crime are generally more or less or
ganized, and the skillful detective can gene
rally determine, by his Scrutiny, whether a
burglary has been committed by a "profes
sional," or a "green hand," or whether the
robbery has been effected by dishonest Bei
vents. When a series of burglaries are com
mitted in rapid succession, it is generally fair
to lay the blame at the door of the police. A
single robbery may escape their detectioMbut
a repetition of robberies of the same general
description indicates organization and co
operation,which can always be traced out, by
proper activity and determination:"
But a word of caution to householders.
Many people are extremely careless in taking
ordinary precautions to protect themselves.
Doors or windows are left, open or unfastened,
and valuables are often left exposed to tempt
those who may be dishonestly inclined. Even
when burglars and robbers are arrested, their
crimes are too often compounded by a partial
restoration of the stolen goods and the re.
lease of the criminal to renew his depreda
tions upon society. As the winter advances,
we eaution the police and the people to exer
cise more watchfulness and care in prevent
ing burglaries, more energy in detecting, and
more determination in punishing these pests
of the community.

THE Onto Diess - rart. Philadelphia has suf
fered severely in the frightful disaster to the
steamer United: States. We referred yesterday
to the sad loss of the Rev. Mr. Parvin,Tdra. Com

must be added 'the name of a well-known citi

only daughter, is among the lost. Mr. Feli nes tock wail from Pittsburg, but has long resided in
this city, as a most estimable and valuable
citizen. Re had accumulated a large fortune,
which will go to collateral connections of
his family, as we understand that he and his
daughter, who has perished with him, were the
only survivors of his immediate family.
Another of the victims of this disaster, though
not a Philadelphian, is well kw: a in our com
mercial circles. Mr. William Garvin, of Louis
ville, was one of the oldest dry goods mercnants
in the United States, and waS, in his 77th year,
at the time of his sudden and dreadful death. fie
was widely known to the merchants of Philadel
phia, with whom he bad for so long a time main
tained business relations.

THE INDIAN WAR.
Rattle Cl the 'Washita.
From General Caster's report of his late encounter with
the Indians, we extract the following:
"The Indians were caught napping for once, and the
worriers rushed from their lodges and posted themselves
behind trees and in the deep ravines. 'from which they
began a most determined defence. The lodges and all
their contents were in our possession within a few min
utes after the charge Weis ordered; but the real fighting,
etch as has rarely, if ever, been equaled in' Indian war
fare, began when attempting to clear oat or kill the war
riors posted in ravines or undertn uah ; charge after charge
was made, and moat gallantly, too; but the Indians bad
revolved to cell their Urea as dearly as possible. After a
desperate conflict of several hours, our off Isla
ere crowned with the most coMplete and gratifying suc
cess . The entire village, numbering '47 lodges of "Black
Kettle's" band of Cheyennes , twoilodges of Arrapahoes,
and two lodges of filettx- 511 edges in all. under command
of their_principil chief, "Black Kettle"—fell into our
bards. By a strict and careful examinatim after the
battle. the following femme give some of the fruits of our
vinery The thdians left on the ground and in our pos.
session the bodies of 103 of their warriors. including
"Black Kettle" himself, whose scalp is now in the pos
session of one of our Osage grades. We captured
in good condition 875 horses, ponies and mules,
241 saddles, some of very fine and costly workmanship,
5.3 buffalo rats. Me axes. 140 hatchets, 85 revolvers. 47
rifler, 525 pounds of powder. 1,050 pounds of lead 4.000
arrows. 80 bullet, molds 35 bows and graver& 19 shields.
800 bourses of bullets, 775 Lariat& 940 buckskin saddlebags,
470 blankets, 93 colts. 700 pounds of tobacco. In addition
we , captured all .;heir Winter supply of dried buff.slo
meat, all their meal, flour and other provisions, and in
fact everything they possessed, even driving the
warriors from the village with little or no clothing.
We destroyed everything 'of value to the Isp
diary. and have now in our - possession, as prisoners
of war, 53 squaws and their children. Among the ore.
ecestra-stra-the-stuvlvor&of .KetUelan- •and. the
family of "Little Rock," We also secured two white
children held captive by the Indians. One white woman
who was in their poesenion was mu•dered by her coo
tors the moment we attacked. A white boy hold captive,
about 10 years old, when about to be secured. was bru
tally murdered by a squaw, who ripped out his entrails
with a knife The Itiosea• under "Bantams."
and Arrapahoes under "Little Raven," were
encamped aix miles below "Black Ket

two villages came to attempt the rescue of th , Cheyennes.

In their attack they displayed groat boldnesa, and com
