Tlie Birth of an leobcrg.From Dr. Hayes' Land of Desolation.

It would be impossible with mere wordsalone, to convey any adequate idea of theaction of this new-born child ol the Arnticfrost. Think of a solid lump of ice, ahird of a mile deep, and more than half

a mile in lateral diameter, hurled, like amere toy, away into the water, and seto rolling to and fro by the impetus oihe act as if it was nature's mereest foot-jall ; now down one side, until the hugejulk was nearly capsized; then backigain; then down the other side oncetore with the same unresisting force;

ind so on up, and down and up, swayingto and fro tor hours before it comes fin-

lly to rest. Picture tnis, aud you willlave an image of power not to be seeny the action of any other force upon the

uarth.

Waves of enormous magnitude wereolltd up with great violence against the;lacier, covering it with spray; billowscame tearing down the fiord, their pro^ arked by the crackling and crumb-ing ice, which was everywhere in a state

of wildest agitation for the space of sev-eral miles. Over the smaller icebergs the;water broke completely, as if a tempestwere piling up the seas, and heavingthem fiercely against tho shore Then,to add still further to tho commotionthus occasioned, the great, wallowingiceberg, which was the cause of it all, wasdropping fragments from its sides witheach oscillation, the reports of the rup-ture reaching the ear above the generaldin and clamor. Other bergs were set inmotion by the waves: and these alsuIropped pieces from their sides ; and atlast, as if it were the grand finale of thepiece—the clash of cymbals, and the bassdrum of nature's grand orchestra—amonstrous berg near the middle of thefiord split in two ; and, above the sound ofbreaking waters and fulling ice, this lastdisruption filled the air with a peal thatrang among the bergs and crags, and,echoing from hill to hill, died away onlyin the void beyond the mountain tops;while to the noisy tune, the icebergs otthe fiord danced their wild ungainlyd:mce upon the waters.

It was many hours before this state ofwild unrest was succeeded by the calmwhich had preceded the commencementof i t ; and when, at length, tho icebergthat had been born came quietly to rest,and the other icebergs had ceased thoirdiine.e upon the troubled sea, and thewaves hud ceased their lashings, it seem-ed to me, that, in beholding this birth ofan iceberg, I had beheld OIK- of the mostsublime exhibitions of the great forces ofnature. It was in truth a convulsion.

Venice—Its Academy of Fine Arts—Pictures, dec—OQ to itoiuc,

ROME, Dec. G, 1872.FHIEND POND:

Our last letter bad a strong flavor ofchurches, though theology was fortunate-ly omitted. But it seemed impossible tonotice the old city of Venice properlywithout speaking of its churches, inwhich so much of its Art is stored.—There is, however, one collection which,iside frcju the Ducal palace, forms theonly comprehensive gallery of art inVenice—it is tho Academy of Fine Arts.Standing at the southern end of the ironbridge across the Grand Canal over whichwe passed daily, its facade, by the greatarchitect Pulladio, was always before usas we descended the long flight of stepsfrom the bridge. Its front, at the left ofthe entrance, bears a tine aud very an-iient bas relief Madonna, and a colossal[ion couches along the central portion ofthe pediment, upon which sits the em-blematic figure of Justice. The collec-tion is quite extensive, embracing paint-ings, original drawings, plaster casts,marbles and bronzes, and some rare spe-imens of carving in wood. Anything

but a very brief description of some ofLhese interesting objects would be im-possible in the limits of a letter. Theentrance passage, corridor and ves.ti.buelontain some fine monuments, marbles,

busts, and statues, and two frescoes byPaul Veronese, transferred from the Gre-gorian palace with the walls on whichthey were painted, aie on this accountrendered double interesting.

The first hall is that of ancient paint-ings. These are all upon a gold back-

round, and generally painted as altar-pieces for various monasteries—fromwhich the galleries of Europe have re-ceived some of their finest pictures. Inthose, early days the religious elementcombined with tho wealth concentratedin the churches to encourage Art by thisbeautiful form of decoration. And intho rivalry ef churches to possess tho iinest frescoes and paintings, and the ambi-tion of artists to outdo each other, someof tho finest creations of Art were pro-duced. Wo first saw these old picturesupon a gold ground in the chapel of St.Maurice at Nuremburg (that is, in con-siderable numbers), and our first impres-sions did not incline us to study themwith much pleasure, but greater familiar-ity, instead of "breeding contempt", hasdeveloped wonderful beauty in many ofthem, especially in features and finish.There is, howover, seldom much action orfreedom of position in them, and a cer-tain angularity and primness generallypervades the the whole.

The second room, a fino, spacious hall,with lofty and rich ceiling, among itstreasures has that wonderful productionof genius, " The Assumption," by Titian.It would seem impossible that the mostunskillful observer could stand beforethis masterpiece without a profound feel-ing of its grand conception and marvel-ous beauty of coloring. This has neverbeen called his best work, but of his lar-ger compositions none of the many wehave seen creates a deeper impression.—His " Martyrdom of St. Peter," regardedgenerally as the greatest work of hispencil, is unfortunately lost; but we sawan early copy, which has been presentedto the "S S. Giovani e Paulo," and thegreat merit of that picture must haveconsisted in the terrific ferocity of theassassin, the appealing attitude and help-lessness of the martyr, together with theaccessories of the giant tree in tho fore-ground and gloomy wood around. Sucl:a picture may be, to the art critic, "uthing of beauty," but it is tho perfectionof tho artist's skill which conveys thepleasure. While in a picture like "TheAssumption" there is something noblerthan admiration excited in the beholder;he is elevated and enchained by the spiritof tho artist's conception rather than hisskill ; the latter of course combining inin the grand effect and aiding it, doubt-less, while the theme itself has nothingthat excites disagreeable emotioHs. Thisroom contains, also, the historically valu-able pictures of this great artist, "TheAssumption," his earliest work, not con-taining even a rudimentary suggestion oj"The Assumption" of his later years, and" The Entombment," his last work, onwhich, at the time of his death, at thtgreat age of 99 years, he was engaged.—The latter was left unfinished, aud • wascompleted by Palma Giovani. I t wouldbe unreasonable to expect that the skill-ful hand should still preserve "its cun-ning" and the head bo as fruitful in de-sign as in their prime, yet it is not with-out a feeling of deep and respectful ad-miration that we look upon this sombrepicture and search in vain for that color-ing for which in earlier days the veilejarble artist had been unsurpassable. Thisunconquerable spirit of industry and avery protracted life enabled Titian to doan immense amount of work. 500 worksfrom his hand are known aud authenti-cated,and a very striking fact is narrated,illustrative of his unabated confidence inhimself to the very last. A pictureof his late years hangs in thechurch of S. Salvador—an " An-nunciation." Some one had kindlymentioned to him that this work hadbeen thought by some not to bo quite

iu their attitudes and swelling muscles [ galleries and art collections, yet it issurprising how very few of these beauti-ful pictures remain distinctlyin the mem-ory, unless previously well knownthrough the medium of prints; and to re-call the mysteries of an elaborate designin delicate wood-carving or bronze re-lief is generally still more difficult. Yettheir influence may be said to be nonet!ie less ii'sthetically valuable upon thatclasa of minds which readily harmonizewith objects of beauty. To that otherclass who lose all delight in the glories ofcoloring and grandeur in design, simplybecause some undraped figure is visiblein the group below or among the beauti-ful cherubs above, it is probable or atleast it may be hoped their excessivelyrefined instincts will counteract thestrong tendencies of their grosser natures.No city ou the continent, unless it beHome, has had any more splendid arrayof great artists, native and foreign, in itsservice, than Venice.

But now, as the time approaches forour departure from this interesting placewe may safely say that while we wouldnot care to make a permanent residencewhere the past so much predominatesover the present, yet from none of thegreat cities we may visit do we expect tocarry away more lasting and distinct im-pressions, nor about any will recollectionmore fondly linger in years to come.

There are some characteristics aboutVenice which have not been adverted tobecause of the method adopted, to des-cribe more prominent features. Some ofthese may be hastily noticed in theselast lines on tho Queen of tho Adriatic.All Venice, to the eye of the stranger, ap-pears to be a vast provision and cookingshop. The streets are very narrow, andand on either side of those most frequent-ed; and in fact in nearly every nook andcorner, constmt cooking is carried on, of•pumpkin, potato33, and numberless vari-

the breathing instincts of self-preserva-tion. " The Miracle of St. Mark," byTintoretto, is a work most striking in itseffect, because of the prominence givento the Saint, who appears hovering hori-zontally over the crowd below, as if justdescended from the higher realms. Por-traits of the nio>t eminent Venetianpainters are introduced in the ovals ofthe (veiling, and the entire ceiling is mostrichly carved and gilded, the centralcompartment being filled with a paint-ing by Paul Veronese.

The third hall contains a Virgin andChild, by Giovani Bellini, who is almostas celebrated for his Madonnas as Ra-phael; also St. John the Baptist, sur-rounded by Peter, Mark, Paul, and Jer-ome, by Cima Giovanni Battista, and a"Christ in the Tomb," by Lotto Lorenzo>all fine pictures. The ceiling is frescoedby Tintoretto, the principal compartmenthaving for its subject " The Prodigal Son."In the fourth hall are valuable originaldrawings by Raphael, Leonardo de Vinci,Michael Angelo, and others,deeply inter-esting as the crude foreshadowings ofthose great works which followed. Inan urn is preserved the right hand ofCanova. This is not the only instancewe have met of these "dixjecta membra"of tho great men of Europe. In thefifth, sixth, and seventh rooms are ar-ranged the paintings and carvings inwood, ebony statues, tapestry, vases, &©.,presented to the academy by Count Con-tarini, in 1843, in whose palace, by theway, the English Church service is regu-larly held every Sabbath. Of this prince-ly donation there are about two hundredpaintings, which, besides the two roomsspecified, fill the walls of the largo ad.jining unnumbered hall.

The seventh hall, which has to be ex-amined through an intervening glassvirtition, is tho receptacle of twelve arm

chairs of ebony and boxwood, with elab-orate carvings and upholstered with tap-estry, ebony statues of Ethiopians, Jap-an vases, nine half-size figures in ebonycarymg vases, two groups of wood-carv-ng, allegorical, of tho seasons, &c, Inihe next room are portraits by Holbein,always good, and the well-known namesof Vandyke, Perugino, Ostado, Mantiguaand others invite to admiration or criti-ism, and it is often that the eye seeks in

vain to discover the traces of a great art-ist's skill. Some of the pictures are spu-rious, perhaps ; some are of a date anter-ior to the period of greatest excellence,and some are unfinished or rude sketches;yet every gallery is dssirous of possessingthe great originals, be they never so un-worthy. In all tliere aro twenty roomsthus filled with this fine collection underthe general name of the "Academy of>f Fiue Arts," the property of the city

and open to all, tho only fees being en-tirely optional with the visitor. Some ofthe best specimens of the Venetian schoolof painting are on its walls, though ma-ny are also there of very little value.—Titian appears as a painter of portraitSjin which department he is really inimit-able. Of tho many we have seen all areof that exquisite style which makes themenchain tho attention as objects of realbeauty.

Iu the sixteenth hall are arrangedthose pictures which, from their greatsize require the accessories of amplespace and favorable light. Here we findtwo fine works by Gentilo, the brother ofGiovani Bellini. One represents a "Mir-acle of the Holy Cross." A piece of thetrue cross having fallen during a proces-sion, into the Grand Canal, numeroust, ithful believers at once plunged intothe water for its recovery, and the rescueis effected by one of the noble Vondram-in family. The salient features of thislegend are finely produced in this verylarge picture. The other embodies, iu asimilar happy manner and on an equallymagnificent scale, another legend of thecross. In 1-196 a procession on St. Mark'sday was passing the Piazza with the HolyCross carried by the fraternity of St. Gio-vani, when it chanced that a boy whohad been seriously injured upon the headby falling against a column in the city ofBrescia came into tho square with hisfather. As the procession was passingthe parent made a solemn vow, and thevery next day the boy was completelycured. The great crowd assembled outhese two occasions, in all their motleycharacter, combined with tho display ofgorgeous processions, gave gteat scope tothe peculiar excellence of this painter.—Of the many remaining pictures men-tion of only one other can be made with-out too great space being occupied. Thepainting referred to is in the twentiethhall, and is entitled "A Sketch,' by thevery modest artist Albano Tomacelli. Itrepresents the widosv of Doge Foscari re-fusing to give her husband's body to theAmbassadors of tho Senate, who had re-quested, it iu order to give itan honorable burial at tho ex-pense of tho State. The attitude ofthe noble widow as she half turnsfrom her lone watch by the silent formof the persecuted yet brave old Doge,and with sad impatienco waves themaway with their request, that to her sa-vors so much of too tardy justice, if notof idle mockery, is so touchingly ex-pressive that we feel our whole sympa-thies moving us in resistance to the shame-ful uoldheartodness that first killed withmistreatment, and then with heartless

eties of fish, polenta, poultry, and saus-age. On the street corners, on the brid-ges, aud at church doors, chestnuts arealways in process of boiling or roasting,and an. empty dry-goods box set on endis readily improvised into a stand for thosale of baked pumpkin of tho varietiesamong us denominated as sweet. Thesecooked edibles with their savory odorspermeate all the alleys, and hawkers ofboth cooked and uncooked fish, crabs,&c, are met with everywhere, carryingeverything in flat baskets on their heads.To say that these sights are appetisingwould be scarcely truthful. Indeed weoften wondered how it was possible thatthose squirmy, translucent little fishes,not exceeding two inches in length,could be eaten at all; and not le^sstrange did it appear that thoso littlecrimson, thousand legged crabs, averag-ing about one inch or less in diameter,could be made attractive to the palate.—Even the pumpkin seemed generally tobe eaten from the hand, without any con-diments. As for the chestnuts, we havelearned to " do as the Romans do." Thequantities of these things devoured isreally marvelous, and cau only be satis-factorily accounted for on the belief thatmyriads of the poorer classes in Venicedepend entirely upon this "hand tomouth" style of living, eating on thestreets and doing little or no eating orcooking at homo.

Beggars are multitudinous and omni-present, especially about all publicplaces, churches, promenades, i tc , but itis only just to this class of citizens to saythat they aro civil, and even if at timesimportunate are neither rude nor noisy.It was often amusing to meet small boyswho would leave their play and reachforth the hand for a centime, and beingrefused would smile as if it was a goodjoke even if they did fail. In fact, in thecase of tboboys generally, it appeared asif they took up begging from the sheerimpulse of traditional habit or tho forceof imitation, and that it was a matter ofindifference whether they succeeded ornot. Some of these little mendicantswere very bright-looking, and even beau-tiful, with theirdark eyes shining throughtho surrounding dirt. We have notfound the people of Italy, thus far, sodark complcxioned or ferocious-lookingas we had anticipated. Except in thecaso of the very lowest classes, the influ-ence of li southern clime is only noticea-ble in tho prevailing dark and verybright eyes, dark hair, and an absence of

worthy of Ins great ieputation, whereup-on he immediately wrote upon it, as iffor this offspring of his old age he had asgreat affection as for those of his prime," Titianns fecit, FECIT."

In this room, also, is one of the greatpictures of Georgione, whose early deathat only thirty-fo'ir did not prevent himfrom leaving the influence of his geniusupon his age, and dividing, even withTitian, the impress which master spiritsever make upon their successors. " TheTempest Stilled by St. Mark" has beenmuch admired, especially the figures ofthe three rowers whose nude bodies show

formality asked to give pompous burial totho noble deap. The picture is very sim-plo in its details; a room in the palacewith a bed ou which is tho recumbentbody of tho Doge; in the foreground,seated alone at a table and turning par-tially about, as if she had heard tho re-quest, without rising aud without fairlylooking toward the Ambassadors, whostand near the door behind her, she seemsgiving the dismayed applicants a mutebut crushing reply with the merely back-ward motion of her hand.

There aro few places more gratifyingfor the time to visit than those European

those ruddy flesh tints which aro onlyfound in the more invigorating North.—Of Venetian high life strangers seescarcely anything, there being no suchthing as drives in the city, and promen-ading or even gondola riding not havingany such regularity among this class asto give opportunity for observations. Iufact it is only in tho theaters, and some-times not even there, that representativesfrom all classes may bo seen. It seems tobo understood that in social life the Ven-etians are extremely quiet and secluded.The promenading on the Piazza is doneprincipally by the strangers, the gentle-men and feminine representatives fromthe middle and more active business clas-res, intermingled with police and military. We have, of course, formed the ac-quaintance of our venerable Consul andhis estimable lady. The duties of thisconsular station aro not, in general, ard-uous, nor very complicated, since verylittle American shipping finds its way sofar up the Adriatic. The present repre-sentative here, Mr. Harris, is a citizen ofPhiladelphia, and only here about eight-een months. He is quito far advanced inyears and rather feeble, but he hiid anexcellent aid in his more active andsprightly wife, and their genial welcometo such Americans as stop at Venice mustmake them numerous friends. Their ex-penses somewhat exceed their salary,though living in a quiet and unpretend-ing style.

In order to expedito our baggage, inthe cheapest but slowest way, to Flor-ence, we took two trunks in a gondolaone day, and, accompanied by our land-

and again went through the tedious anddifficult process of gutting everything inproper shape for safety. These Italianhave such a clumsy way of managingthat it puts a stranger entirely at themercy of tho hundreds who stand aboutthe depots to pluck tho helpless victim.No officer lifts or does anything beyondthe express line of his duties. IIo doesnot even interest himself to .give infor-mation. The consequence is that thestranger, with apparent calmness, givesover his checks or his luggage as the caspmay be to some ever-ready agent, and,as a. mere looker-on, stands by to signunintelligible papers if his agont says so,and to pay charges when required. AUgoes on smoothly enough and also OQr-rectly enough until everything is coneand the hour of settlement with theagent himself has arrived. His chargeis generally exorbitant, and it is not always easy to make it right.

But at last the day of departure hascome, and, for the last time, very earlyOne pleasant November morning weglide along the quiet canals, by tho widewater gates into faded old palaces, be-neath the beautiful bridges, and land, forthe last time, on tiio wharves of Venice,in front of the depot where, with curi-ous interest, ono month before we hadstopped for the first time into the storiedgondola. Strange old city, not soon tobe forgotten ! Good-by to Venice.

Louis Xapcl con's Domestic Life.The gossips of European courts and

capitals have long been in the habit ofsurmising that the relations of Napoleonand his beautiful wife were far from ten-der, or even amicable. Stories of discordat the Tuilleries have at times been asplentiful as rumors of journalistic duels,or of aristocratic intrigues. The empresswas said to have gone at one time toSpain, at another to Etrypf, in uuconju-gal wrath ; the emperor was chargedwith peccadilloes, and romantic scones ofquarrels in consequence of them, in theTuillerios, were related from mouth tomouth with eager interest.

Yet there is litte doubt that, especiallyduring the latter years of their life to-gether, their, domestic relations werepositively happy. I t is cerrtainly truethat the Emperor married Eugenie doGuzman becaused he loved her, and pre-ferred her to all women whom ho hadmet. No dowry of royal alliance, groatwealth, or even of descent which wouldadd to the lustre of the imperial crown,came with her to tho altar. There was atime when Louis Napoleon, then an exile,might have wedded Donna Maria of Por-tugal ; and after ho became emperor,probably his suit for a princess of thehouse of Austria or Prussia, or eventhat of Russia, would not have been re-jected. He chose to sue at the feet of alady in private life, in whose veins, nodoubt, there ran royal blood, but whoserelationship to the Spanish sovereignswas remote.

It may well have been that the roman-tic attachment of the middle-aged, con-spicuously plain and unimposing gentle-man was not reciprocated by the Spanishbeauty, then in the fullness of youth andcharms, and that, if she accepted him, itwas because she could not turn from thedazzling offer of a crown. But the long-er she lived with Napoleon, tho closershe seemed to draw to him. Certain ofher letters, written to him when she wasa guest of the Sultan, at Constantinople,accidentally became published ; and theybreathe just such a spirit of confidence,affection, respect, anxiety to sec him oncemore, and tender feminine solicitude forhis health and good fortune, as might beexpected from a wife who had marriedthe man of her choice, and had found theunion a perfectly congenial aud happyone.

A friend relates that having gone into;he Tuillerios garden very early one pleas-int summer morning, for an appetizingbefore-breakfast walk, he saw a gentle-nan, lady, and a little boy promenading

in the enclosed part of the garden next,o the palace. Presently tho gentlemanbegan to romp and play with the child,giving him a stroke and running backwhile the child trotted after him, andthen turning to the lady and laughingicartily. Then all three began to pray,;hn gambols of the child putting the oth-rs into high good humor. Meanwhile,

several chamberlains and other palace of-icals stood starch and prim along the[)alace-wall, forming an amusing contrast,o tho ease aud freedom of the movementsof tho group of merry makers.

The latter, were of course, Napoleon,Eugenie, and the little prince imperial.The witness to this cosy family airingsaid that the pretty sight did more toconvince him of the mutual content ofthe emperor and empress with each otherthan the annals of all the court-chroni-clers in the world. Napoleon once saidto an eminent Englishman that he wa.snever so happy as when he could fearhimself away from tho ceremonies andpomp of the Tuilleries, and retiie to hisfavorite Saint-Cloud, and give himself upto domestic quiet and family pleasures.His chivalrous coutesy to Eugenie, andhis rsepect for her advice, was not ob-served more by the multitudes whothronged his Isveee, than by the intimatesof his private life, tho witnesses of his do-mestic seclusion. Eugenie may havebeen, and with reason, jealous at times;but thero is no reason to doubt that shecame to have a real affection for herspouse, fo whom, in tho short period ofhis exiled lite atChiaelhnrst, she was sure-ly most constantly and faithfully devoted.Her whole conduct after his fall, fromthe day on which sho fainted when sheheard of his capture at Sedan, to that onwhich she was too ill of grief to followhis remains to their English tomb, be-trays the loving and sympathetic wife.

That the great passion of Napoleon'slife, next to that of his maintaining theheritage of his race, was his deep person-al lovo for his son, is un secret to any onewho has had opportunities of observinghim, or of hearing what his course of liftand tastes really wire. Ho was neveimore proud than when he presented littlLouis to strangers. Even ia companjIns dull-gray eyes would light up withpaternal fondness when Louis made hisappearance; and, when In; went outwould follow him till ha vanished, litrode with him, played with him, readwith and taught him, and often postpon-ed the concerns of state to attend him iiillness, or to examine him in his progresswith his lesson. People from Paris, pienicking in the noble forest of Fonteanebloau, wore wont to see tho pair ridialong the forest-road, the emperor leaning over his saddle to bend near tho boyand the boy talking fast and excited tchis iutorested papa.—Appleten's Journal,

EXECUTIVE OFF ICE. \LAN8IK0, February 12, 1873. \

To tin1 Senate and House of Representatives :At tho time of the delivery of my in-

augural message, the reports of the dif-ferent penal institutions of the State weronot completed, and I could not procureany statistics that would give me any in-formation relative to them. Since thenthese reports have been prepared andlaid before you, and I doubt not have re-ceived your careful consideration. Theprevention, cure, and punishment ofcrime is a subject that demands the mostcareful attention, not only of legislators,but of the whole people ; and the people,through the press, HJU legislative assem-bly, tho pulpit and the forum, ure con-stantly giving more and more thought toit. Prison congresses are being held fre-quently in al! civilized countries, devisingmethods of improvement in the treat-ment of crime.

From all these there is being evolveda better knowledge of the subject, andwith this better knowledge kindmsj i»taking the place of brutality, cure ofcare, reformation of punishment.

STATISTICAL.• The State penal institutions, consisting

of the State Prison,$ RoformJSchooi, andDetroit I!.>i;-a! of Correction, had 1,238inmates in 1872, 1,301 in 1S71, 1,268 in1870, showing a decrease in crime, or atleast in convictions.

The Detroit Houseof Correction is, virtually, an intermedi-ate prison, receiving all women and a.; i proportion of the young men con-victed of crime. The State Prison is thecustodian of all other convicted persons,excepting thoso who, for slight offensesare committed to the county jail. I twould seem as though with these threeinstitutions wo should bo able to classifyand grade the inmates, separating oldfrom young, new beginners from old of-fenders, the ignorant from the viciouscriminal, and thus prevent the demorali-zation that prison life spreads like a pallover all who suffer from crime

But with these opportunities we arodoing little better than we did years ago,In tho Reform School wo find the lad often tho associate of the young man ofsixteen, a quick scholar to leiru vice fromthe ready reprobate who teaches it.

In the State Prison the young men ofsixteen to twenty are the associates of oldoffenders and hardened criminals. Ac-cording to the reports of the prison, nine-tenths of the convicts received each yearare sent for their first offense; but oncewithin its walls, whether young or old,whether convicted of slight or serious of-fense, whether the victim of intemper-ance or of inherited bad influences, orvicious from choice, all are put upon alevel in treatment and condition. Wowould not treat tho cattle on our farmsin this manner. Our duty to those un-fortunates and ourselves compel us, atthe earliest possible moment to correctthis

Tin; DETEOrT ntttJSE OS OORnECTIOf,Though belonging to tha City of Detroit,is used by the State, as before mentioned,as an intermediate prison. It, too, has

o opportunities for grading andclassi-ying its male prisoners. For females itas, in tho House of Shelter attached tot, the means of grading its inmates intol^e : - ; separating them according toheir capacities and condition, their need3nd merits. It is emphatically a homond nothing else. There are no locks ortars, no prison dress or prison fare. Thenatron and tho inmates live and eat to-gether, stud}' and work together ; and none visiting it would judge it a part of aiiisou from anything they would tooherein, The House of Shelter is mydeal of what all prisons might be, notnly for women and girls, but for mennd boys—or rather it is my ideal of theilan upon which prisons should bo erect-d and conducted.I t is much to be regretted th.it Mr. Z.

I. Brockway, who has so long been theSuperiutenden t of the House of Correc-tion, has severed his connection with itfnd with prison management* He hasiven the institution the deserved namef the model prison oi the country. Ilave no doubt, hower, that the authori-,ies of the City of Detroit will see to ithat it shall be kept upon the high plane

of excellence it now occupies.ANOTHER INTERMEDIATE rillSOX.

With the rapid growth of the State, itwill soem become necessary that eithersome city in tho western portion of tto

te should do as Detroit has dont'—3uild a House of Coirection, bud makosuitable arrangement with the State for;housc of a portion oiit—or that the Mateauild an intermediate prison or House ofCorrection. Were all the jails emptied oftho-o who are under sentence in them (as;hey ought to be), it would be a necessitythat this be done at once and withoutdelay.

KO CONFINEMENT IN JAIL.

When tho State has an intermediateprison, or tho Detroit House of Correc-tion the room to receive anel take care ofthem, I earnestly hope that the confine-ment of any person it jail after convictionwill bo absolutely prohibit'd. 1 believeit almost as bad in its Directs upon thecriminal, and upon society, to confine aman in jail, without labor, as to Hun himloose upon tho streets. Jails aie thonurseries of vice and the graduatingschool for tee State Prison, and its ex-pensive to maintain as a union school.We find fault with our school tax, andforget the burden that pauperism, vieoand crime, fed and pampered as it is inour poor-houses, jails and lock-ups, im-pose upon us.

REBUILD THE ritl.sON'.

Our first duty, however, itHeems to me,is to rebuild and remodel the State Pris-on. To those of you who have visited itit must have told its own storyjol its needs.Built years ago it lias been going to de-

ady as interpreter, wont to the depots t b e s P e n d t h r i f t

cay ever since. It is not necessarj to de-tail its wants, for, excepting the wall andthe shops it is all wants. The inspectorsare preparing an estimate of the cost ofrebuilding, aud I most earnestly pom-mend to your favorable consideration thoappropriation needful to enable them tocarry out their plans. A\ hen tht1 ehapelis complete:! there will be room in wl>ichthe prisoner may be educated and in-structed ; and I suggest that such legis-lation my be had as will make it obliga-tory upon the officers to furnish somemeans of education to all who may de-sire it. If thero is a dreary spot on theface of the earth it is inside the walls ofJackson prison. I know no reason whythis is so, except it be that a general sortof neglect of prisons and their surround-ings has becomo tho rule. I hope thntby your action tho prisons of Michiganmay be made an exception to this rule.

LITTLE I'AVOKS.

A rose-bush by tho door, or n row ofpinks by the path, might perchance findthe tender spot of a heart that prayerand pleaching have failed to reach.

The stripes in the dress, that no oneknow* why they are there, except that itis the fashion of prisons, should be abol-ished. In the cloth now being made forthe use of the prison, the black stiipt1 ismuch smaller than heretofore, and diB-tinguishablo at a slight distance.

DBDOCTION (IF T1M1'.

The deduction from tho lorni of sent-ence for good conduct is a greater aid totho officers in the control and care ofconvicts than all the whips and revol-vers in the world. Why not offer stillmore inducements and incentives to goodconducts iu the shape of rewards, such asgiving the prisoner a portion of his earn-ings, etc. r1 Power should l>e given theBoard of Inspectorate let tlie labor ofconvicts in smaller quantities, and for a

j greater variety of industries. In so do-

ing they oould be more rusily el«8«ifier past neglect in this regard,and have naked for an appropriation toenable th( m to plants trees, build walks,nnd paint the front building—all of•which I commend to your favorable con-sideration.

COMMITMENTS OPThe manner of committing children to

tdie school is, in my judgment, very de-fective. Vicious parents often send themthat they may be out of the way, andtheir domestic expenses thereby decreas-ed.. Bolioemau arrest them in. the streetsfor vagrancy, and they are " sent up " bythe committing magistrate without anyattempt to ascertain whether they deserveit or not or whether it is the best that canbe done with them. I earnestly urgeupon you the propiiety of adopting bylegisl tion a similar plan to that in oper-ation in. the State of Massachusetts, inthis regard. They have an agency calledthe

VISITING AGENCY,

©no of whom, when any child under six-teen yearsofage in the State is arrestedfor any cause, at onca proceeds to ascer-tain all the fucts in the case ; the history,surroundings, character, inherited tend-encies, what sort of home and parentagethe child has, etc , and upon the day oftrial the visiting-agent appears in court,not as defender or prosecutor, but as thefriend and protector of the child, and asaid to the magistrate in deciding whatdisposition shall be made of it. If theagent finds the- child's home a properplace, and its provious lifo will warrantit, he perhaps urges its being returnedthereto ; or if he finds it an unfit place,•while the child itself may not be a crim-inal, he advises that it be sent to the Statepublic school ; or if he finds it depravedand vicioin, ho advises its commitmentto the Reform School. At all events, themagistrate has before him as a guide tin:whole history and surroundings of thechild, and is able to decide intelligentlywhat disposition to make of the case.

N.o child should ever be committed to apenal institution without this thorough,searching investigation'

While our population is nor. so- dense asMassachusetts, and our territory is verymuch larger, and there would seeminglybe many obstacles in the way of cariy-itig out such a plan, I believe that in aState-that finds so many of its most act-ive men willing to serve the State as in-spectors and- trustees of its varied institu-tions without reward, there are men andwomen in nearly every city and largertown who would undertake this humanework and do it well, asking no fee, ex-cept their necessary traveling expenses,when, culled upon. Is it not worth whileto make the attempt.

&EFQKMATIOX.

While I believe that kindness shouldl»o tho rule of treatment with convicts,iwid thr«t tiie klefu of reformation shouldtake the place of that of punishment, Ihave no sympathy with, or belief in, thesentiment that a loose discipline in pris-on is kindness. As the surgeon appliesthe caustic and tho knife, when otherremedies fe.il, so- I believe that restraint,firmness and control are an absolute ne-cessity to tlie cur& of crimu. Whon weremember that nine-tenths of those whoaro sent to prison go for tho first offense,and that eight-tenths of those who comeout never go back, it should teach us thatnt will not pay to crush out all the man-hood in a man, though once a criminal." No iaan can outlaw himself from God."Shall we by our treatment, undertaketo outlaw him from himself or the world ?

U H T I OF SENTE>"CE.

There should be in our legislation aradical change in the length of sentenceof persons convicted of misdemeanors,xsgrancy, drunkenness, and the like.Persons convicted under these chargesare sentenced for too brief a period to dothem any good, if that is the motive oftho sentence, as it ought to be. Drunk-enness and vagrancy are not primarilyorimes against society, and should not betreated as such. The drunkard and va-grant sins against himself, (but if allow-ed to continue, soon becomes a criminal),and is put under restraint for hia own ben-efit,, and thereby the general good ofsociety. If he needs restraint, it shouldbo long enough to accomplish some slightreform, control his desire for stimulants,get buna-way from the debasing effects ofvice, and build up in him some frame-work of manliness, self-respectand self-cootrol. Thirty sixty, and ninety daysentences will not allow this.

BETUaXED AGAIN.

Of 8,741 persons committed to theHouse of Correction, 1,092 were commit-ted for tho second time, 510 for the third,285 for the fourth, 143 for the fifth, 80 forthe sixth, 57 for the seventh, 30 for theeighth, L6 for the ninth, and so on downt»* 1 for the fourteen!h time. And so thegreat procession- moves on, into the pris-on and out—-each succeeding sentencetaking more-and- more away from theunfortunate one the power to control hispassions or depraved tastes.

Ought not this system to be changed,and some more rational one be adoptedin ivs place ?

If we are to effect a cure should wenot leavo the patient long enough undertho care of the physician to accomplishit?

THE CAKE OF PAUPERS.

The close connection of pauperism andcrime, each feeding the other, leads mo toupeak briefly upon our treatment andeuro of paup or rather our ueglect of

y g g y pprevention or cure of the disease itself. Iam of the opinion that some better planthan the piesent county system of poor-houses might be adopted. District poorhouses several counties combining to-gether under one management, one farm,and our! house, with facilities for workKbopa artached, would save a largo ex-penditure for building and in yearly ex-penses. The subject is worthy of someattention nnd thought.

BOAHD OF COMMISSIONERS.

I commend to your attention tho rec-ommendations of the Board of Commis-sioners of Penal Institutions, relative tothe organiz ction of a board which shallhave general charge and oversight ofthe penal and reformatory institutionsof the State. If you approve of the rec-ommendation, would not the presentboard be the proper body to be clothedwith this power?

"Bylheact authorizing tho appoint-ment of this Board, it was provided thatin addition to other duties contemplated,it should collect and thoroughly examineall the penal and criminal laws of theState, and report the same, with such re-visions, amendment, and suggestions forthe improvement thereof, as to the Boardmight seem necessary and expedient.

" A work so important as this, wouldundoubtedly involve the suggestion ofman; changes and amendments, and someadditions to our criminal statutes: andto be of service when performed, wouldrequire a thorough investigation of thewhole criminal legislation of the State,and an examination into the decisions ofour courts relating thereto. Such inves-tigation should also extend to the crim-iml laws of the other States, and especi-ally to those from which we have drawnmo3t largely for precedents in our legis-lation.

" And it will be observed dt once thata duty requiring so much research andcareful labor would necessarily makelarge demands upon the time of thosecharged with its performance.

•' Hencp, in view of these facts, andthat the Legislature has made no provis-ion for any adequate compensation forthe labor and services here referred to.the Board have deemed proper to deferthat part of the labor devolving upon ituntil the matter should be submitted totho Legislature for its further consider-atiou."

A RECOMMENDATION.

I believe this revision of the penal lawsof the State is a pressing necessity, andso believing, I recommend such legisla-tion as will provide the means necessaryto accomplish it.

A Steamboat Disasier.ORLEANS, Feb. 15.—The steam-

boat Henry A. Jones, from Houston forGalveston, with a cargo of 442 bales ofcotton, was destroys d by fire in GalvestonBay. Twenty-one lives were lost, amongthem Capt. J J. Price, first clerk, andJames B. Hogan, second clerk, both well-known steamboat men.

GAXVEOTOK, Feb. 15.—Tho steamerCharles Forbes brought to this city therescued from the burnt steamer HenryA. Jones, among them assistant pilot Da-vid G. Gordon, who was on watch at thetime of the disaster. He gives the fol-lowing particulars: When about threemiles above Redfish bar, at about 4:50this morning the watchman on the lowerdeck called out: "Redfish in sight."—The watchman was in the act of castingthe lead when an explosion was heard,something like an escape of steam, butmore resembling the report of a gun.—The first pilot, who was on the roof, randown to the lower deck and immediatelysang out, to the assistant pilot to makehis escape, as the boat was on fire. Gor-don immediately left the wheel and randown stairs. When he got below hefound tho fire wrapped tho whole boatand cargo in a sheet of flame. Ho hadonly time to reach the barge. The Joneshad 442 bales of cotton, a lot of hides,etc., on board, and tho barge Wool intow. About tho timo Gordon reachedtho barge it caught fire and was let loosefrom the burning boat and floated awayMurphy, the engineer on duty, did notescape, and all is conjecture regardingthe cause of the disaster. The probabilities are that the fire-wall gave way andthat the report heard by Gordon wascaused by its fall. It is certain that thewhole vessel and cargo were in flameswithin live minutes after the first alarm.

The following aro known to be lost: J.J. Price, first clerk ; James Hogan, sec-ond clerk ; William Murphy, first engin-eer ; Peter Peterson, Ccoper, John Cnra-mings, D. Turner, John Collahan, Christopher Silby, James Brown, W. Hughes,H. Harty. Win. Brady and White Char-ley, deck-hands ; Bob Gilles fireman; WMcGuire, first cook ; Win. Bishop, secondcook ; one boy, name unknown ; Alfred,cabin boy; Alex Botts, cabin boy; andtwo stokers, names unknown. Of forty-eight on board twenty seven were saved.Loss about $5,000 ; no insurance.

COLFAX—HIS DEFENSE.In the labored statement of BCHUTLER

COLFAX, made before the Credit MobilierCommittee last week, ho accounted forthe $1,200 put in bank ths day afterOAKES AMES paid, or claimed to havo

paid him a dividend of just that amountin cash, as follows : $200 paid to himthree or four days before by his step-fa-ther, Mr. MATTHEWS, and $1,000 receivedthe day before in a letter from one GEO.F. NESBITT, of N. Y. This remittancewas in a single bank note; the "confiden-tial " letter of the writer, who forwardedit as a token of admiration for Mr. COL-FAX and to aid him in meeting cam-paign expenses—he having been a fewweeks before nominated for Vice Presi-dent—could not be found and the writerwas dead. The last two unfortunatebreaks in the chain were attempted to bomended b3r putting members of Mr. CoL-FAX'S family on the stand, to swear thatthey heard tho letter read and .saw thebill. Of course this did not prove thatAMES did not pay and COLFAX receive

the $1,200 in dispute, but only, if true,that COLFAX had $1,200 to put in bankthat did n't come from AMES. It is un-fortunate for COLFAX that he can't findthe letter remitting tho bill, that his lib-eral friend is dead, that that friend didn'ttell anybody of his aid to COLFAX, andthat his books show no such remittance.Suspiciously inclined persons have insin-uated that his explanation in this ehapeis as full of holes as a skimmer.

But now comes a report that COLFAXhas written a letter to tho committee say-ing that this same dead NESBITT senthim $4,000 that season, $1,000 in each ofthe months cf April, June (the one re-ferred to in his statement), July and Oc-tober ; that " these remittances were madpartly on personal and partly on politica'grounds;" that two of the letters accompanying them can be produced ; and thaihe, COLFAX, did not refer to any save theJune remittance because advised not todo so by his counsel, "as he could notproperly open up the subject of such re-mittances without bringing in extraneousand important matters before tho com-mittee and departing from the point aiissue." Which does not in the least thick-en the very thin explanation or state-ment in question.

— Now who is or was the liberal NES-BITT ? We suggested to a friend on read-ing the statement of COLFAX that if itwas the old contractor for furnishing thepostoffiioe department with postagestamps, stamped envelopes, &c, the VicePresident may have got from the fryingpan into the fire. It proves to have beenthat man. Can not his love for COLFAXbe easily surmised '< his generosity ac-counted for? COLFAX before he wasSpeaker was chairman of tho postal com-mittee of the House, as Speaker ho hadthe naming of the chairman of the samecommittee, and as Vice President hewould have favors to dispense. Put thatand that together. Does it not disclose alittle more Credit Mobilier?

THE N. Y. Evening Post both likes anddislikes the new postal bill, the passageof which by the House we chronicledlast week. It likes the cutting down ofletter postage to two cents, and is dis-posed cheerfully to accept the pro-pay-ment of newspaper postage. It likes, orat least does not censure, the reductionof postage on daily papers one half—from$ 1,20 to 60 cents a year,—but condemnsthe continuance of free county circula-tion to weekly papers. It would havoits own bread buttered on both sides,and give the country publisher skimmedmilk for his share. Now, the " countrypress"—so contemptuously treated bythe city journalists, with here and therean exception, and save when the tmnualpublication of a prospectus is wanted totwice the subscription price—will strikehands with the Post and journals of likethinking for a.fair adjustment. Let thecounty circulation pay postage if themetropolitan press so will it, but let ushave a scale of rates such as railroad menand express managers would fix for thesame service—graded by weight and dis-tance. There is no justice in chargingtho same postage on the Post, the World,the Independent, the Rip-Roaer or Whip-Snapper—all New York City publications—delivered at Ypsilurti, Dexter, and thoother postoffices in this county as on theABGUS or other local journals. Give thecountry press anything like a fair chanceand no favors. Weight and distance: doyou see the elements in tho problem, Mr.Post '!

— The Post says something about esti-mates making postage on papers $3,000,-000 thereabouts, and the receipts lessthan $1,000,000 : the loss being chargedto the system of non-payment. If thereis any such loss it comes from inefficiencyand knavery in the postal service, andprepayment is not tho remedy. Neitherbrains nor honesty can be legislated intothe averago postmaster, and if that of-ficiil now steals what the subscriber paysas postago he will next year steal whatthe publisher pays into his hands. Sowhy punish the innocent party—the pub-lisher—by subjecting him to the expenseand trouble of paying tho postago on hisfull issue.

THE WM J. BEAL proposed for Regentis not now a resident of Lonaweo County,as we inferred from the Adrian Times par-agraph announcing his candidacy. Heis Prof. BEAL, of the Agricultural College,and the Lansing Itejniblican speaks of hisfitness and qualifications in high terms :all of which may be true. However,drawing our conclusions from generalprinciples, we are led to suggest that thoRegents of the University should not be•elected from the professors of other Stateinstitutions. There may be no hostilitybetween tho University and the Agri-cultural Collage, and there ought to benone, but one can hardly be so loyal—that's a popular word in these latter days—to both as to be tho servant of one andtho legislator for or a fraction of the ex-ecutive of tho other. No entangling al-liances is a safe rule.

— It is proposed to enlarge tho bound-aries of Detroit by taking in portions ofHamtramck, Springwells, and Greenfield.In a few days the rest of the territoryadjoining may be gobbled up: all forPark purposes.

THE CAI.DWEI.L investigating eomruit-.eo reported to the Senate on Tuesday.The report set forth the evidence pro-

ced before the committee, fromwhich it concludes that the buyingoff of CARNEY and CLARK is established,

which arrangement is pronounced " cor-rupt, against public policy, demoralizingin character, directly contributing to de-stroy the purity and freedom of elections,and not to be tolerated by the Senate as

means of procuring seats in this body."The committee is also of the opinion thatbuying CAHNEY off "was an attempt topurchase the votes of the friends of CAR-NEY. CALDWELL expected that CARNEY

could bring them over to his support."They reason that the right to buy up thecandidates and monopolize the field,would include the right to buy the mem-bers. They say, " It was an attempt tobuy the votes of members of the LegialaHire, not by bribing them directly, butthrough manipulation of another pur-chase. The money was not to go to thembut to CARNEY, who was to sell and de-

liver them without their knowledge."And they are convinced that such s.ileand delivery was made, the evidenceleaving no doubt. The committee alsofind evidence that direct negotiationswere opened with members and votespurchased in the open market.

Summing up, the committee say : " I thas been a subject of discussion in thecommittee whether the offense of whichthey believe CALDWELL guilty should bepunished by expulsion or go to the valid-ity of the election." Accepting the latterproposition, they recommend the adop-tion of the following resolution :

Ttesolved, That Alexander CaVlwell was notduly and legally elected to a neat in the Seriateof the United States by the Legislature oi theState of Kansas.

Notwithstanding this resolution thecommittee come to a novel conclusion !that is, using its own words, that CALD-WELL " was as much sinned against assinning. Ho was a novico in politics,and in the canvass had men who encour-aged him in the belief that the Senatorialelection in Kansas could be carried bymoney." If CALDWELL must submit tobe branded as a knave, it is too bad tolabel him " novice " or fool at tho sametime. Ho ought to rebel at that " on hishonor."

MM44 I ̂ i i i •

THE. POLAND Credit Mobilier Commit-tee reported on Tuesday. Reviewing theevidence taken the committee conclude tomake AMES and BROOKS the scape-goats ;

the one for selling stock below its valuewith thfi design of influencing the votesof members ; the other for claiming fiftyshares of C. M. stock for his son-in-lawwhile he was a government director of theU. P. Road. They, therefore, report res-olutions expelling Messrs. AMES andBROOKS, the consideration of which reso-lutions is set down for Tuesday next.Now tho conclusion in those two cases,may be, we will concede is correct ; butwhat shall be said of the neglect to evencensure BINGHAM, DATES, GARFIELD and

KELLEY, except that the committee silent-ly brand them as fools instead of design-ing knaves. We think in this respect thecommittee como very much short of pub-lic expectation. Each and every one ofthe members named bought stock in theC. M.; each and every one of them knowthat they were buying it at less than itsvalue; and that they afterward repudiatedtheir bargains, for fear of exposure, showsno less corruption. This whitewashingwill scarcely go down.

Tho evidence taken relating to thecriminated Senators was referred to, onlyto say that it had been sent to the Senateby order of the House, and no allusionwas made to tho caso of tho Vice-Presi-dent.

It is understood that when tho expulsion resolutions come up on Tuesday next,now resolutions will be offered, unlessshut out, hauling Messrs. BlNGHAM,DAWES, GARFIELD and KELLEY over the

coals.

OUR two local contemporaries —bothRepublican—and the Ypsilanti Sentinelunite opposing non-political nominationsfor Regents. All concede that the officeis not strictly political, and should not beadministered in a partisan manner ; bntneither can crawl up out of the politicalrut in which it has so long been buried,or think of acting in concert with politi-cal opponents. The two former havefears that a political heretic might inthat way get into the Board of Regentsand raise Cain with the University, andthe other is so straight-backed that hewould not be Regent himself if the Re-publican convention should propose af-filiation with tho O'CONNOR party, butwould prefer a scrub race and defeat.With a nomination equivalent to an elec-tion there is nothing but the merest boshin such an utterance as this : " Nothingconduces to watchfulness liko a divisionbetween political parties, and tho Regentsneed watching like everybody else." TheDemocratic watching they get is at a verylong distance on the outside. Besides,does n't tho Sentinel know that there is" no contest in the election of llegents," andthat his Tom and Dick have now to runthe gauntlet of a single convention only?Resort to the plan it condemns and eachconvention would vie with tho other inselecting its best man. Tho best busi-ness men and most scholarly men in theStato would then accept nominations,which they can not get now from thoRepublicans because it is a political of-fice and must go to some party hack;and which such Democrats will not takemerely to fill a ticket and for no otherpurpose.

ALL SORTS OF PARAGRAPHS.

Jlil NYE calls "time" and "let up."Ho says investigations must stop, espe-cially those concerning Pomeroy. Hethinks Senators' reputations are all indanger, "jointly and severally." Hearhim: "Away with these investigations'we have had enough of them. Wo arehaving enough of thorn. Away withthis idea of catering to the morbid appe-tito of a particeps criminis at least, andlet Mr. Pomeroy and what's his namesettle their own difficulty. There is noth-ing the human mind feeds on liko cor-rupt investigation." Nye is afraid hissale to J ones will be investigated. That swhere the bug is.

— Attorney-General Williams has de-cided that Postmaster-General Ores well'sconstruction of the 152 section of the pos-tal code is unwarranted, and that it is ille-gal to collect double the full rate of postageona part paid letter—or 12 cents fromjthereceiver because the sender put a 3 centinstead of a 6 cent stamp on his letter.It didn't need an Attorney-General to

make such a decision : it was patent tothe merest pettifogger practicing beforea very back-woods justice of the peace.Nobody but a thick-headed and obsti-nant Postmaster General, who imagineshis own wishes to be law, would haveheld differently.

— Judge Boardman has denied a newtrial to Stokes; and now every judge inthe State is to be " bored " in turn to re-verse the decision of Judgo Boardman.It strikes us as an outsider and a laymanthat this allowing one judge, anywheicin the State, to upset the decisions of an-other is unnecessary and dangerous.Why not go at once to the court of Ap-peals where the real and vital questionsraised—if any—can be definitely settled.New York can learn sointhing fromMichigan in this respect as well as inshaping her constitution.

— A joint resolution has been introduced into tho House amending tlu Con-stitution so as to provide for minorityrepresentation in the House, on the Illi-nois principle. Single Representative dis-tricts are abolished; three Representa-tives to be elected from each Senate dis-trict; and each elector may voto forthree candidates, two candidates or onecandidate, cumulating his votes, and thethree having the highest number shall bodeclared elected. We hope that tho res-olution will bo adopted and submitted tothe people.

— It is said that the now incubatingcommittee on privileges and electionswill bring forth three reports : a majori-ty report in favor of a new election inLouisiana; one minority recognizing theelection of McEnory as Governor andfavoring the admission of McMillan tothe Senate; aud a second minority re-port which will label Kellogg Governorand Ray Senator. And the statuto oflimitation will off with tho head of thisCongress March 4th.

Tlie President on Utah Affairs.

The President sent tho following mes-sage to Congress Friday:l o the Senate Mid House ol ttejTC-sentatives :

I consider it my dut3r to call the atten-tion of Congress to the condition of affails in the Territory of Utah, and to thedangers likely to arise if it continuesduring the coming recess, from a threat-ened conflict between the Federal andTerritorial authorities. No discussion isnecessary in regard to the general policyof"Congress respecting the Territories ofthe United States, and I only wish nowto refer to so much of that policy as con-Gems their judicial affairs, mid the en-forcement ot laws within their borders.No material differences are found in re-spect to these matters in the organic actof the Territories, but an examination otthem will sho'.v that it has bean the in-variable rule of Congress to place andkeep their civil and criminal jurisdiction,with certain limited exception, in thehands of persons nominated I)}' the Pres-ident and confirmed by tho Senate, andthat the general administration of justiceshould be as prescribed by Congressionalenactment. Sometimes tho power givento the Territorial Legislature has beensunicivh.it larger and sometimes smallerthan tho power generally conferred.Never, however, have p wers been givento a Territorial Legislature inconsistentwith the idea that the general judicatureof the Territory was to be under the di-rect supervision of the national govern-ment. Accordingly the organic law cre-ating tlie Territory of Utah, passed Sep-tember 9th, 1859, provided for the ap-pointment of a Supremo Court, theJudges of which are Judges of the Dis-trict Court, a clerk, a marshal and an at-torney, and to these Federal officers isconfided tho jurisdiction in all importantmatters, but as decided recently by theSupreme Court tho act requires tho jurorsto serve in these courts to be selected insuch a manner as tho Territorial Legisla-ture sees fit to prescribe. It has undoubt-boen tlie desire of Congress, so far asthe same right may be compatible withthe supervisory control of the Federalgovernment, to leave the minor detailsconnected with the administration oflaw to regulation by local authoritj-,but such a desiro ought not to governwhen the effect .will be owiug to thepeculiar circumstances of the case, toproduce a conflict between the Feder-al aud Territorial authorities, or to im-pede the enforcement of law, or iu unyway to endanger the peace and goodorder of the Territory. Evidently itwas never intended to iutrust theTerritorial Legislature with powerwhich would enablo it, by creatingjudicatures of its own, or increasingtho jurisdiction of courts appointed byTerritorial authority, although recog-nized by Congress to take the admin-istration of law out of the hands of thejudges appointed by tho President, orto iutori'ere with their action. Severalyears of unhappy experience make itapparrout that in both of those re-spects tho Territory of Utah requiresspecial legislation by Congress. Pub-lic opinion in that Territory, producedby circumstances too notorious to re-quire further notice, makes it necessa-ry, in my opinion, to prevent the mis-carriage of justice, aud to maintainthe supremacy of the laws of theUnited States aud of the Fedoral gov-ernment, to provide that the selectionof grand and petit jurors for the distriot courts if not put under the con-trol of Federal officeis. shall bo placedin tho hands of persons entirely inde-pendent of those who are determinednot to enforce any act of Congress ob-noxious lo them and also to pass someact which shall deprive the ProbateCourts or any court created by the Ter-ritorial Legislature, of any power to in-terfere with or impede the action ofcourts held by tho United StatesJudges. I am convinced that ?o lougas Congress leaves tho selection ofjurors to the local authorities it will befutile to mako any effort to enforcelaws not acceptable tt> a majority of

the people of the Territory, or whichinterferes with local prejudices, or pro-vides for the punishment of polygamy,or any of its affiliated vices or crimes. |

presume that Congress, iu passingupon this subject, will provide all rea-sonable and proper safeguards to se-cure honest and competent jurors,whose verdicts will command confi-dence and be a guaranty of equal pro-tection to all good and law abidingcitizens, and at the same time make itunderstood that crime cannot be eom-mited with impunity.

1 have before said, while the lawscreating tho several Territories havegenerally contained uniform provisionsin respect to the judiciary, yet Con-gress has occasionally varied those pro-visions iu minor details, as the circum-stances of the Territory affected seem-ed to demand, and in creating theTerritory of Utah Congress evidentlythought that circumstances there mightrequire judicial remedies not necessaryin other Territories, for by section nineof the act creating that Territory it isprovided that a writ of error might bobrought from any Judge of the Su-preme or District Courts of the Ter-ritory to the Supreme Court of theUnited States, upon a writ of ha-beas corpus involving the questionof personal freedom, a provision neverinserted in any other Territorial actexcept that creating the Territory ofNew Mexico. This extraordinary pro-vision shows that Congress intended tomould the organic law to the peculiarnecessities ot the Territory, and thelegislation which I now recommend isin full harmony with the precedentthus established. I am advised thattho United States courts in Utah havebeen greatly embarrassed by tho actionof the Territorial Legislature in con-ferring criminal jurisdiction and thepower to issue writs of habeas corpus onProbato Courts in the Territory, andby their consequent interference withtho administration of justice. Mani-festly the Legislature of tho Territorycannot give to any court whatever thepower to discharge by habeas corpus per-sons held by or imcler process from thecourts created by Congress, but com-plaint is made that persons so heldhave been discharged in that way bythe Probate Courts. I cannot doubtthat Congress will agree with me thatsuch a stato of things ought not longerto be tolerated, and that no class ofpersons anywhere should bo allowed totreat tho laws of the United States

Tammany and Credit Mobilier.From the New York Herald.

The Tammany frauds were startlingenough but they were committed bv menof low origin, of degraded tastes, ofcoarse, brutitl and depraved natures.—Few persons were astonished when it wasfound that the politicians who had grad-uated from the gutter to live diss patedlives, wear gaudy jewelry and drive fasthorses, had stolen tho money which theyHaunted before the eyes of the people insuch vulgar show. But the recent devel-opments have unmasked a different classof offenders. Harlan, Wilson, Colfax,Patterson, Pomeroy, Brooks, Garfield andDawes have been hold up to the world asmodels of purity in private life and of in-tegrity in public trusts. These aro themen who have been lauded for their vir-tues, whose lives have been paraded asexamples of Christian purity, whose pa-triotism has been of the demonstrativekinrl. Yet they differ from the Tammanypoliticians or.ly in the fact that thoir cor-ruption has been less bold and reckless.The Secretary of the Intericr, who ac-cepts a gift of ten thousand dollars froma grasping eorjxmition whose interestsare largely under bis control, is as guiltyof a public wrong aa the official whoplots with the informer Garvey to addtwo hundred per cent, to his bills againstthe city, and to divide the plnmler. TheSenator or liepresentativo in Congresswho takes a bribe from Oakes Aiues inthe shape of Credit ilobilior Stock is ascriminal as the legislator who- would sellhimself for so many dollars to the Tam-many or Erie rings.
