SPAHIBH SUASION.
the gods will destroy, they first
moke mad,” and Spanish rale must be very
near its destruction by this old rule. The
cable brings ns such proofs of madness
omong the Spanish leaders in Cuba as must
be tie Bure forerunners of Cuban freedom.
Count Yalmaseda, commanding the Eastern
Department ofCuba, urns applies the powers
of Spanish suasion to the inhabitants:
“First Every native male ovor fifteen years of
ace found away from his residence without SHffl
n’t came, tcill be executed.
Second. Erery uninhabited dwelling, and every
inhabited dwelling where a white flag Is nndls
nlaved, will be reduced to ashes.
Tktrd. All women away from their homes will
come to Bayamo or Joguani, or they toill be
brought by force. "
There is a marvellous madness in such a
policy as this. Thousands of American citi
zens have hesitated to espouse the Cuban
cause because their sympathies have been so
deeply enlistpd in Spain’s own successful
struggle against the old Bourbon despotism
that they have felt a generous unwillingness
to see the mother country despoiled of her
ftirest and richest possession, just as she was
into a better and freer civilization
frcTßPif. But such sympathies will be stifled
fcreverin the presence of such an atrocious
policy as Spain, through her military com
mandera.is now enforcing in Cuba. The
struggling Cubans, left to themselves, might
be crashed out, under the tender mercies of
Yalmaseda’s persuasive measures. BotVal
maseda’s proclamation, as it rings through
Atnprim, Will be hurled back into Spanish
ears with an out-burst of indignant wrath
that will be more to the purpose of Cuban
freedom than an army or a fleet It is unut
terable madness to proclaim such savage de
crees, at a moment when all Christendom is
fretting againßt the barriers of international
polity, in its anxiety to stretch out strong
hands and substantial protection to a people
whom Spain is proving herself unfit to gov
ern. It is the supreme of folly to invoke so
needlessly that foreign aid, the mere promise
of which will sweep Spain from the shores of
Cuba. Justice, generosity, liberal fair
play would have secured Cuba to Spain,
possibly for generations to come. Brutal
and wanton cruelty, such as this Spanish
butcher proclaims, heavily as it falls for the
time upon Cuban women and children, will
recoil with fatal effect upon its authors, and
rally to the aid of this oppressed people na
tions of friends.
The news of this savage edict comes to us
just as the people of Philadelphia are about
to declare, in mass-meeting, their sympathy
with Guba’s struggle for independence. The
interest already felt in the cause is very great,
but it will be deeply intensfiied by to -day’s
news. Yalmaseda in Cuba, as well as the
friends of Cuba in America are “discounting
destiny” with a vengeance.
HAD DOGS
It is not veiy creditable to the police regu
lations of a great city like Philadelphia, that
its citizens are liable to be assailed by fierce
or mad dogs in the public streets, and yet the
occurrence is a very common one. Every
■week in the year cases are recorded of child
ren and grown people who have been at
tacked, often seriously injured and sometimes
killed by these savage brutes. During the
heat of summer, the law requires that dogs
shall be muzzled, and where the law is vio
lated the vagrant eurs are captured, im
pounded, and either redeemed by their owners
or put to death. But during the rest of the
year they enjoy entire immunity. In the
central parts of the city there are not many
dogs found running at large, but in the outer
districts their number is legion.
That an unmuzzled dog at large in the pub
Be streets is a common nuisance is a fact
which will only be questioned by the very
limited clbsb of people who own pet dogs, and
whose chief concern is lest their favorites
should bite some common person whose
flavor might not agree with them. From the
stately Danish mastiffs down to the waddling
little poodles, through all the intermediate
grades of dogdom, there is no exemption
from the charge that dogs at large are public
nuisances; and they are as much so in winter
as in summer. The statistics of hydrophobia
show nearly, ii not quite as many cases in
cold as in warm weather, and the traditional
habit of muzzling dogs and putting them
under the operation of the existing dog laws
only in hot weather, is an aDsurdity that
should have been done away, long ago.
The uses oi dogs in large cities are very
few indeed. As play-things they are trouble
some, expensive and dangerous. As guards
they are sometimes useful, but generally use
less, and their services in that respect cer
tainly do not entitle them to the freedom
of the city ox to the calves of the citizens.
An a whole, they can be dispensed
with more easily than any other
domestic animal, and they are the only do
mestic unlnmla which are dangerous to the
community.
Why cannot this dangerous nuisance be
abated. Haisances are generally maintained
by “Rings,” but a dog ring would be easily
broken up. It would be impossible to form
a coalition between the bull-terriers of old
Spring Garden and the sleek, ehy, blankettcd
pets of the West End; between the half
tamed, Bplendid black monsters of some o f
otu Teutonic citizens and the aristocratic
pointers of our sporting gentlemen; between
the frowzy, asthmatic poodles of our prim
old maids, and the dapper little black-and- tau
terriers of our rapid, fashionable belles.
It could not he done. If the dogs themselves
undertook such a combination, it would ead
is a general fight-, and their masters and mis
—tresses could never be. brought into, conven
tion OS account of the great social gulfs that
lie between them. There tg but one method
of dealing with the dog question. Every dog
and all dogs, without distinction of age, oex
or condition, must die the death, whenever
and whoever found unmuzzled in the public
streets. ‘'War to tho knife!" must be the
watchword for the polioe. bas, lea
chienal” most be the common war cry-
There mnst be'no compromise.- The un
muzzled dog most, 1 like treason, “be made
odions.” The advantages of a ernsade against
the canine nuisance are manifold. Dogs are
in the minority, therefore they should be pot
down. Doga kill people, therefore they
should be killed; —at least until capital pun
ishment, generally, is abolished. Shooting
dogs is good practice for the polioe. It im
proves their aim, and empties their revolvers,
which is good for the fire-arms. The crusade
would be neither long nor expensive. A
single season would suffice to rid our streets
of the dangerous nuisance, and the people of
Philadelphia could once more take their walks
abroad, without the fear of being snapped up
by some savage brute of a dog.
We are not unmindful of onr friend, Mr.
Bergb. We have not forgotten that there is
a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals. With the fear of it before our eyes,
we say “Down with the dogs!” They are a
dangerous nuisance, and they must either be
made harmless by perpetual muzzles, or by
the old remedy of “cutting off their tails, just
behind their ears." ■ «..
A BBfIABAaBIiE PATRIOT.
There is a story which telle how, during
Napoleon’s retreat from Russia, a squad of
soldierß were placed on guard over a lot of
pork barrels in the desert. They were for
gotten when the army moved off, and they
remained on duty long years after the pork
had gone to decay, until every man of them
was grey-headed, and until most of them
died one after the other. Report says that
the last veteran lingers on the spot yet We
are likely to have to record a similar instance
of devotion to duty in this country. The
people have already shed tears over the he
roic faithfulness of the patriot who watched
an empty crypt in the capitol, and drew a
fat salary for forty weary years; and they
have gloried in the unselfish devotion of the
man who for several years executed a con
tract for carrying the mails over a suppo
sitious post-route between two entirely ima
ginary towns in the West. But these men
are both surpassed by a friend of Senator
Pomeroy’s. Thiß ardent patriot has, it ap
pears, been holding a position as agent for
the Delaware Indians, and drawing
caßh for salary and supplies for savages,
from the government. On its face this
seems to be a perfectly proper thing for
Pomeroy’s friend to do. The objection to It
lies in the fact that there are no Delaware In
dians in existence as a distinct tribe. When
the last Delaware died or merged himself in
another clan, the natural thing would have
been for the agent to disband himself. But
Senator Pomeroy's friend, possibly, was
afraid that such precipitate action would dis
turb the smooth action of the Government
machinery, so he sacrificed himself and held
on and drew his salary, and disposed of the
supplies as well as he could —say, at some
thing less than market rates.
This gentle rascality is a fair sample of the
frauds that have been connived at by the
Indian bureau and by members of the United
States Senate. The latter gentlemen have
grown bo bold in the business that they even
insist upon continuing it after it has been ex
posed. When the President nominated some
honest Friends to the Kansas and Nebraska
agencies, the Senators from those States,
Pomeroy among them, were very indignant
at Executive interference with their friends,
and used their influence successfully te have
the nominations defeated. The President, we
are glad to see, sticks to his determination to
effect a complete reform, and we hope he will
do so, no matter how many of the pals ol
the Senators are checkmated in their nefarious
operations.
UriVETie COLIBCE,
The entertainment given to President Cat
tell, of Lafayette College, last evening, has
afforded an opportunity to bring more pro
minently before the public the great educa
tional establishment of which he is the
ncred head. President Cattell goes abroad,at
the request of the trustees, to visit the poly
technic schools of Europe and to gain such
practical information as will be of value in
the further extension of the field of study in
Lafayette College. By the aid of the noble
bequests of Mr. A. Pardee, and other liberal
minded gentlemen of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey, Lafayette College has been rescued
from a condition of lingering inefficiency,
burdened with debt, and almost unknown
among the colleges of America,to a condition
of honorable prominence and great nsefolness.
The scope of its curriculum is upon the most
liberal scale. While the full courses of classi
cal study are kept up under most able pro
fessors, a general course has been established
on the Pardee foundation, which affords a
broad system of practical education in all the
branches of modern science. To a lull
course of all that is usually included
in the idea of a thorough modern education,
are added departments of technical and pro
fessional study not generally attainable iu
American colleges. Engineering, mining,
metallurgy, practical chemistry, are taugut
with all the advantages of splendid apparatus,
and elaborate opportunities for experiment
and illustration; aud what has already been
accomplished is but the prediction of greater
efforts and higher attainments. With
such an impetus as Lafayette College has
now received, Easton will, ere long, be able
to bo net the possession of an American Uni
versity from which Pennsylvania will derive
incalculable honor and profit
The success of Lafayette College is chiefly
due to the indomitable energy aud perse
verance of President Cattell. His own en
thusiastic faith in the ultimate success of his
work has been an inspiration to the generous
men who have so nobly seconded his efforts,
and be goes abroad, on his mission of explo
ration among the schools of Europe, encour
aged by the consciousness that he represents
a Pennsylvania College of whioh he has no
cause to be ashumed, aud he will return laden
with the practical results of his European
experience and observation as freßb contri
butions to the already" richly-endowecPSoirege
which now owes to him so much.
Some foolish country papers havo demanded
the suppression of the pior lilfflo journal
established in New York as the advocate of
an American Empire. The Imperiahprgan
uses these appeals as an argument to prove
THE D AILY EV ENING BULLETIN—PHILADELPHIA, FRIDAY, APRIL 30,1869.
that there 1b no real freedom of the press in
this miserable country. It forgets, of course,
tbat.tts own existence proves, the falsehood
of its lts utterances are treason
able, and if they were made in any other
country in the world against the existing
government, they would' subject the pub
lisher to punishment If this journal preached
Republicanism in France—its model Empire
—it would be suppressed before it issued the
whole of its first edition. The American
people let it alone because they regard it with
contempt, and because they know that its
owners are fairly Bick for persecution and the
advertisement which martyrdom would give
them. At present its opinions upon political
and other questions are of no earthly conse
quence to anybody but its forty-six sub
scribers.
The Copperhead papers aU oyer tho coun
try are preaching the doctrine that the ridicu
lous movement in favor of the formation of
an American Empire is being conducted by
the leaders of the Republican party. This
may serve to gull dumb Democrats with, but
it will not go down with intelligent men of
either party. Alter conducting a war for the
preservation of the Union, against the efforts
of the rebels and their Democratic friends to
destroy it, it would be quite impossible for
Republicans, in the very flußh of their triumph,
to begin to undo their own work. The stu
pid imperial project is paid for by rich for
eigners who live in New York city, and who
have made that wretched place the very
stronghold ef a bigoted and corrupt Demo
cracy.

GRANDFATHER’S SUNDAY COAT.
It was ol home-made wovon staff,
A genuine azure bine ;
And Grandma wove the eloth herself
In seventeen ninety-two.
It was not cut as coats are now;
The sleeves were made so tight,
He had to rise to put it on
Before the morning light.
With collar of tremendous size,
This venerable coat
Rose up against the back of his head
And wormed his neck and throat.
So queer in those peculiar days
The fashions did prevail,
The hinder part of the coat was shaped
Much like a swallow's talk
They kept things long in Grandpa's days.
From records, it appears,
That be wore this most remarkable coat
Some fifteen or twenty years.
Bu t coats are nicer and cheaper now ;
You cod buy for a trifle, or more,
Better coats than Grandfather ever saw
At Rockhill & Wilson’s Btore.
Braes Coats with Blue Buttons are all tbo go
now lor evening entertainment. Light Pants of
delicate bnes and tasteful cut enable the Ameri
can citizen of the most moderate means to out
shine her Majesty’s subjects 1b the new court rig

a male human can wont, for business or pleasure,
at prices bo far below what our grandparents

Arßii.29.—Tbegoyerament sale of gold took place to*
day at the Bub-Treasbrv. Secretary Bontwcll wa* in the
building, but did not attend tho opcning'of the bida, Tbe
riroposals were twenty-six lu number, lor a sum amount*
ng.to over eight millions of dollars, at prices maging
from JBI.EO to 104 (2. Tbe awards Were made (none lot
of SStO.OOO at 184.02, and three lots* amounting to $753,000,
at 184.01. Bo far as the experiment of easing the market
is.concerned It was a decided failure, for gold went up
Immediately after to 184?* arLe of three-quartern per
cent, as compared with tbo loweat price io
the morning. Mr. Boutwell . was quite reticent
as to bis policy and made very little display during his
visit io the street In tbe afternoon he was introduced
at the Btock Exchange, and made a speech of some five
minutes* duration. In which he said that he would faith
fully use tbe revenues of tbe government and endeavor
to reduce the national debt lie was going to so conduct
hts adminif truth n that no one could question his integrity.
He would so contrive that no ons snonld make or lose
money by bim. This final bit at the stock'
jobbing proclivities of the previous incumbent
of tbe Pecretaryihlp was well received. Bo ended the
visit and the great sale of gold. JPonbUew Mr. Boutwell
means well but he seems perfectly inexperienced. He
has iUtte genius for finance, and is feeling bis way can*
tionsly along the path which the President and Con*
grees have at pointed him to travel Those whe know
him intimately say that he is anxious not to disturb the
monetary esse of this centre by selling a large wuntity or
gold at once* and hence bis selection ox tne present
for the sales. „It is the impression that
he will avail bimeelf of the authority con
ferred by (he Sinking Fund act to cancel a percentage of
government bonds, and hence these seenrinss were very
strong to-day, particularly after his speech at the Stock
Exchange, wben the 62*s sold at the extraordinary price
of m. and the 6T*s at 116?*. The »dvance frightened the
“shorts” into covering, and this Interest has been evi*
dcntly greatly reduced, as all the Issues were lending t*-
day at good rates of interest. The advance of cotuou to
for money, is a farther proof of monetary ease at
London, and stimulates foroirn purchases.
The money market was without important change, but
it w ss asain difficult to decide which was the prevailing
rate, six or seven per ten*. Those who wan'ed to lend
money could get only six for it, while those who were
under the mceeaity of borrowing had to pay seven. Com*
mercial paper was duller, but rates remained steady at
eight to U n per cent for prime double name four months
acceptam e*. and at Vjtn 8)6 for sixty day* notes.
Foreitn exchange was active at an advance of one
eighth in rate* for sterling. The higher price of cotton
on this ride of the Atlantic leaves the market bare of
cotton bill#, while the whole consumption of tbe staple
has steadily inc>ra*ed in our manufactories.
Gold of ered at the closing price of the previous d%y.

the other way, and touched This was .11 the more

Tbe Emigration from Canada.
(From the Montreal Witness, April 24.]
It looks very foolish for Canada to be encourag
ing the immigration of Europeans when it is an
nually losing by emigration a very large number
of its own eons. The paragraphs which we
have inserted almost every spring about the emi
gration from nearly ail parts of Lower Canada,
several parts of Canada West, and the Provinces
of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, might lead
readers at a distance to enpposo that these regions
wire being depopulated, and that there was some
grand defect in onr soil, climate or institutions
to cause such a disastrous result. Tbe fact is,
however, that those who go away aro scarcely
missed, except by tbeir own families, as tberc are
plenty left to carry on every kind of industry
at d fill every position. Donbtiess there are many
eoneee that combine to induce men to emigrate,
but the chief one Is the hope—often delusive—
of bettering their circumstances. With the great
West, and the now open Sontb, and the Pacific
flops all before them, it is cot wonderful that
many enterprising young men set oot with the
laudable ambition of making an bODorable record
in some more advantageous field than they conld
hope i o occupy at home; and tbe fact that the
emigration from the New England States Is as
great os from Eastern Canada, shows that it is
not tbe difference of political institutions that
constitutes the came of emigration. The True
Witness maintains that it is the snow, or rather
the leng winter, that forces French Canadians
to emigrate; and we have pointed out that the
tithes and fabrlqae assessments fastened upon
lhetzf’ in Lower Canada are strong induca
ments to emigrate. Both of these causes are un
doubtedly at work; bat abundance of good land
in tbe West, at a nominal price, and abundance
of employment in the States 'for certain kinds of
artisans, at good wages, are, donbtiess, as we
have said, tbe chief causes of tbe emigration
which all alike regret.
Great Britain and Cuba.
Tho Washington correspondent of the New
York lleiald says:
Tbe English Minister denies that Great Britain
bas bod even so mnch os under consideration the
question of tbe Cuban insurrection. He declares
preposterous tbe report that it was ever designed
to recognize tbe insurgents as belligerents. He
ests that the government is not even informed of
tbe existence of a provisional government on the
island. He represents tbe relations of Bpalu with
htr Majesty's government as highly friendly, and
he regards the report hereby contradicted as In
tended to embitter the relations between the
United States and Great Britain, and just at a
time when tbo qnestionsin difference between tbe
counlries are in a critical state.
THE COURTS.
Presentment by the Grand Jury
JUDGE BREWSTEB’S ADDRESS
important Suggestions In Regard to Com-
mlimenti.
This morning the Grand Jnry came into Court
with the final presentment for the term. They
have acted upon 364 bills, of which 149 were
found true ana 215 ignored. Reference Is made
to the crowded condition of the county prison,
and the evils of the congregate system, which puts
the innocent and the gniltv together. Tho
present statistics show that our Aldermanic sys
tem has been turned into a laboratory for the crea
tion of offences. and well-trained witnesses are
ever ready to aid the most nefarious enterprise.
* * The system evidently demands a radical
change, and in place of an election at the Ward,
where the votes of ciimin&lß are often mere po
tent than the franchises of law-abiding citizens,
an appointing power is needed at quarters re
moved from all Ward influences, and in place of
fees from commitments to prison, a fixed salary
should be substituted.” The public institutions
were visited and found to be in good order.
After the presentment had been received,Judge
Brewster said :
Gentlemen cf the Grand Jury— Von deeerva tho
thanks of tl o community and of the Court for tho fidelity
with tvhicb you have discharged your duties, tour
promptness iu hearing &Dd returning the bills • abmittod
•o you has euabled ub to give every case an opportunity
tor trial, and has saved the city a large amount of
money.
The whole of your presentment deserves the careful
attention of the community.
i especially commend t* the consideration of oar ciU
•ene that portion of jour remarks which refers to oar
Ccimty Prison.
It is time that the crying evil of a want of accommoda*
:ion for prieonerf, and the greater want of a House of
Correction forvagranta, should be promptly remodiod.
You have referred to the commitments issued by our
magistrates in trifling cases. They maybe divided into
two closers:
I. Those which describe tho charge against the de
fendant as a misdemeanor. lam advised that this form
>s adopted in many cases of vagrancy in order to prevent
the inspectors from -discharging the defendants. I trust
i hat this may bo a misapprehenßion, for many of onr &\-
derrnen are doubtli-eH upright officials, well entitled to
the respect of the community, and 1 hope that whatever
inav have cccured In this behalf is purely tho remit of
accident It is, however, most unfortunate that the law
i>bou)d be violated even iu the case of the most depraved
numbers of society.
I feel bound therefore to say that a commitment for a
misdemeanor, without fuither description of the offence,
in a mere m ll»tv.
Ihe Constitution of the United States secures to every
defendant the right “to be informed of tbenaturoand
cause of tho accusation, and the Constitution of the State
e-vnreesfy recognizes the same privilege.
•‘A whi rant or mittimus against a man to answer to
such things as shall be objected against him fa uUerly
against tav " 2 Just., 691.
“It ought to contain the certainty of the cause, and,
therefore, if it be for felony .it ought not to bo generally
for felony, but it must contain the special nature of too
felony, briefly, os for felony tor tho death of such an one.
or lor burglary,in breaking the house of such an one; aad
the reason is because It may apooartothe judge uunn an
habeas cornu# whether It be felony or not/* 3,U. H„ 122.
And all tho forms are in accordance with this principle.
See BiuD’e Justice. 83. 107, 188. 263, 283-3,619 637. This
wholesome doctrine of law was enforced in the case of
Williams ve. Jones, to the extent of holding tho magis
trate, wto had toned on indesrriptive warrant, liable in
trespass for false imprisonment. That case was tried in
the District Court for this city and county, and
in a learned opinion by President Judge Hare, tbe
authorities are reviewod and the law dearly stated.
{Leg. inf., April 10. 1868.) It may be proper to add
that the warrants in that oaso were noarer to the re
quirements of the law than those recently exhibited
to me They charged the defendant with “abusing
the complainant end inciting to a broach
of the peace ** which, although no offeno*,
wae at all events descriptive of some act,
whereas a> commitment for misdemeanor might meau
something recognizedby-the law -as indictableror-mUht',
by the caprice of on alderman refer to the exercise of a
constitutional right by the defendant which the magis
trate regarded as a violation of prodriety. as where a do
itndant was oemmitted for appealing from an adverse
judgment. It Is unnecessary, / however, to elabo
ratethis ‘ subject. > Sufficient for our purposes
that the law Is so written, - Mo true lover of her principles
or of the liberty ehogoarantees would desire to-sea it
otherwise; and 1 feel.botmd, therefore, to say,that in my
opinion ell itwa warrants are vo|d« and afl' persona eon*.

, To this class may be referred the commitments reciting
that the defendant is charged “with drunkenness ana
vagrancy ,*and requiring tho jailor to keep the defend
ant “ thirty days, or tmtu he shall thence be delivered by
due course oiiaw.” And still others in whicb the de
fendant is charged wt*h “drunkenness” alone* and the
keeper ofthepri«on is required to detain tho defendant
fortwenfy'four hours. T i bo illegality of all tbeso com
mitmez-ta will be made very cloar by a brief reference to
tho statutes which it may baYc been supposed authorized
tbe’e proceedings*
■The old Act of 1767 (Br. Dig. 999, $2) authorized any'
justice to- commit idle and disorderly persons “beta?
. thereof legally convicted** to the common jail of the
county to be kept at hard labor for any time not exceed
ing one month. •; * -
The Act of March 22* 1836 (Br. Dig. 10CO».|6> directs that
v “sll penons who moj/ be committed * • before the
Mayor, Recorder* or any alderman of the city of Phils
delphia?* as *j vagrant or disorderly person; shall be
sentenced to suffer confinement at suitable employment
in the Tarrant apartment of the city and county of
Philadelphia for the term of one month.”
A section of the same law directed that & vagrant
apartment should be built (Hr. Dig. si>B. Sec 31), and the
later statute 0f1854 (Br. Dig. 626) commanded the erection
of a Borne of Correction in which all persons ** thereafter
convicted as vagrant or disorderly” * * ehoald “bo
- sentenced.” .The wholesome requirements of these laws
. have beeh disregarded; and it may perhaps be doubted
wbMber tboactof 1854 is not a repeal of tbe acta of 1767
and 1836, as to tho place of confinement* and if so wbothiiS v
tbe jail can be longer used lor this class of Offend
ers. But however this may be, it must be very
clear that no perron can be committed under these
statutes ertmere charge, although the charge may have
been mace on oath. In addition to being accused ho
mm tbe “conutcfca.” Wc all understand what tola word
in-ports. No man can be convicted without trial A
healing.or opportunity of being heard, is absolutely
srcentialr-tbe defendant must be confronted
with ..his accuser and have . tbe right of
meeting the accusation. After all thts the
rests upon the magistrate of en'oring a
judgment*-and H he convict the defendant* then, and
then only* can the commitment issue. A , commitment
upon merejebaree* without trial, hearing and conviction,
is a palpable violation of our rudest sense of natural jus
tice,. , 1 o pass this by because the sufferers aro friendless
outcasts would be a blot upou our record which no mere
profession of benevolence could ever remove. The samo
lemaiks apply to the commitments charging drunken*
• nns*-:-. 4
The act of 17D4 (Br. BlO, sec. 8,) authorised the lm*
position of a fine upon any person '-ctnoicUd" of intoxi
cating himself. Tbe act of 1830 (Be.* Dig. 667. sec. 39.) In
ert ased the fine to 85 if the person was “found intoxicated
in any street;” but this was to be “upon .view or npon
proof.” and it was to be ‘levied* * upon the goods and
chattels of tbe defendant” Tbe act oflB3B (Br. Dig. riW,
see. 48.) reduced the penalty to 82 The act-first cited
provides for a commitment, in default of payment of tbe
fine* “not exceeding 24 boura.”
. A general commitment.therefore»for intoxication*with*
' ont specifying tbo duration of imprisonment or fixing
it at*'Bodaye,”or“ttntjlthe next court,” is absolutely
void. .
So, too, au commitments for the same causa upon mere
charge without hearing, trial and conviction* are ab
solutely void.
lam Informed that discharges are sometimes sent to
the jail alter supposed convictions for vagrancy. Tniste
also improper. Alter a regular conviction the magistrate
has no control over the case.
To such an extent has the law been overlooked la these
mstten thatlactnally find one commitment which not
only recites no trial or conviction, but is unsigned by the
alderman who issued it
Tbe community are indebted to Mr Win. J. Mullen,
the *ffichnt agent of the prison, for calling the attentlon
of ibe Court to these details. I have requested him to
furnish me with tho numbers of these cases during the
past year.
It will hardly be credited that the commitments issued
for intoxication, vagrancy and disorder during tbe year
1868 amounted to 1L260. if each defendant were confined
but a single day—tbo expense to tho city treasury for
this unnecessary and illegal item was over 88.000. If tho
imprisonment were prolouged.the expense was of course
increoFed.
It is for the mun'cfpal authorities to consider whether
a wasteful expenditure of this megnitudo should be con*
tinued.
But above all consideration of mere dollars, there is. a
principle involved in this matter which comes home to
every mie lover of law and of tbe liberty of whlchlaw
professes to be tbe guardian. That clement of our hu*
jronity s*eaks out ife clear tones of condemnation of
these wrongs, and thi?, although the parties inflicting
them may be high in authority and the sofferciß be tho
outcasts of society.
Obeying its dictate.it only remains for me to announce,
as my deliberate conviction, that all the commitments
referred to are on tbeir face dearly illegal and absolutely
void. They should be rejected by tho Inspectors, and all
parties concerned in their Issue or execution aro liable aa
trespassers.
Oyeb ani> Teewineb—Jndses Brewster and Lud
low.—This morning Joseph 11. Bowers wa* put on
trial, charged with manelanehier in causing the death
of Mr?. 6opbia Hecht on November 3d, by a mistake
in compounding a prescription. The circumstances of
the case will be remembered. Mr*. Hecht had been
laboring under a nervous affection, for which assafee
tida, three grains, were made into pills. The prescrip
tion bad been compounded upon *eveta! occasions
correctly, but on the 3d of November, 1863, the de-
who was In charge of tbe drag store at Sixth
and Green streets, gave three grains of atropia, which
earned Mrs, Hcchi’s death, notwithstanding the ef
forts of physicians to relieve her by means of anti
dotes.
The testimony this mornim? for the Commonwealth
was to this effect, with the admission of the defend
ant that be had made the mistake. On trial.

Action ol tbe My do Park miner. In
Pavar of Su,pen«ian.
[From the Scranton (Pa.) Kepnblican, April 2a)
A large number of miners mol last evening in
Fellews’ Hall, Hyde Park, to take into con
sideration the great question of to-day in the
mining districts—suspension. Speeches were
made by several persons, some opposing and
others urging that they join in the movement
for suspension.
Mr. Williams, of Wllkesbarre, gave a very long
epeteh. He said the question was greatly mis
construed. It was not a question of ba3is, but of
suspension. He considered this meeting import
ant. Everybody watched it. The workmen did,
and so did the monopolies. The monopolies
were using every means to sever Hyde Park from
the Association. He stated that the talk about
equalization between Schuylkill and Luzerne
in tho production of coal was all non
sense. Hyde Park was throwing cold water
into tho face of every workingman out
side of it. The . lower counties had a
most beantifol organization, everything com
plete. Even Luzerne was organized, with the ex
ception of Hyde Park. Would Hyde Park stand
aloof while the others were on duty? Would they
work while the lower counties were idle? Hyde
Park was the centre of the intelligence of the
mining class, and its help was needed. He
thought suspension would not hurt. The com
panies favored it, with the exception, perhapß,
of one large company iB this district. The sus
pension is a fixed fact. The order has gone forth.
The day is fixed. If Hyde Park shoald refuse,
the suspension would nevertheless take place.
Tbe bogus auction sales at New Yoik have been
the ruling and raining power of the workingmen.
Why should we patronize monopoly? If Hyde
Park refuses to eo operate, the monopoly will
have its own way. Luzerne miners could do
nothing, and they would have to join the “Molly
Maguires" of Schuylkill before they could assert
their rights as workingmen. Mr. Williams then
gave the meeting some statistics as to the pro
duction of coal and tbe rate of supply and de
mand. and from these argued that a suspension
was the only salvation for a healthy state of the
market. After other general remarks he stated
that in less than four weeks in the anthracite coal
fields, on a single morning—a beauty of organi
zation unknown outside of the army—thirty
tboneand miners would obey the word of com
mend. He would have a suspension first, and
then tbe other difficulties would be settled.
A council was held at Hazleton in three days
after the date of suspension.
Alter considerable discussion tho following mo
tion was pul:
“That wc shall not suspend without a basis."
This motion was lobL Another motion was put'
“That we comply with the adjoining counties,
and suspend.”
Carried by a large majority.
