NEW oOWLrF.e, APRIL N, i838. n a m s s m In order that all members of our militia may understand the provisions and rcgu lations of the militia act, we have published the act in pamphlet form. It can be pur chased at the DEMOCRAT office for ten cents. All persons now belonging to the militia, or expecting to join it, should provide them selves with a copy of the act. The New York Trilune, after reviewing the argument before the Senate Committee on Finance, on the question of the location of a new mint, comes to the conclusion that New Orleans should be the place chosen. It thinks that the committee will finally agree upon recommending an appropriation of $100,000 to put our mint in order. New Orleans has received morecotton from Mobile this year than all the foreign ports of Europe. The shipments from Mobile to New Orleans to date are 158,253 bales, or 41 per Dent of all the cotton sent from Mobile. During the same period Liverpool, Havre, Hamburg, Bremen, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Revel, and all the other cotton ports of Europe have together received only 148,782 bales from the Gulf City. New York is determ imed that no excessive salaries shall be paid in Manhattan in future. A bill has just passed the Legislature of that State which will reduce the expenses of New York city over $2,000,000 annually. Among the provisions of this bill is one prohibiting the payment of any salary exceeding $10,000 a year. At least a dozen officials now re ceive larger pay than this; their salaries will be cut down at once. The receipts of the Federal government for the present fiscal year are not at all promis ing. The fiscal year began in July. That month showed a falling off as compared with the corresponding month of last year, of $730, 000. Since then, there has been a constant increase in this falling off, until now the average receipts of the government are from 15 to 20 per cent less than in 1877. Up to March 81 we had already fallen behind $5,403, fo 07 Capt. Wm. S. Beers, master of the schooner Clara S. Dyer, in a letter printed in the DEM OOBAT yesterday morning, denies very posi tively the statement of Dr. Choppin, president of the Board of Health, that yellow fever had broken out among the English troops at Kingston, on the Island of Jamaica. We have no doubt that Capt. Beers is entirely sin cere in his statement, but he must excuse us if we prefer to rely upon the information ob tained by the Board of Health. That information of the Board, if we are not mistaken, was received direct from Kingston, whereas the Clara S. Dyer sailed from a port sixty miles distant from that town. The ut ter unreliability of common report is perfectly familiar to all thinking men, and while Capt. Beers heard nothing of yellow fever at Kingston it is quite likely that the captain of the next schooner who sails from Jamaica may hear that a million troops have died there of the disease. The public will always be much safer when they accept their news of epidemics, battles, and other public calamities which occur at a distance from official sources. As to whether the schooner Clara Dyer should have been fumigated or not, that is another question, and before we pronounce upon it we prefer to hear fully from the Board of Health, in the discretion of which we have great confidence. Certainly the re sult has been quite unfortunate to the owners of the cargo, and if the fumigation ought not to have been made, they are justly entitled to compensation. At the same time we hold that the authorities cannot be too cautious in their efforts to exclude fever from this port, however remote the danger. Bishop Allmany of California is somewhat of a saint on the Pacific slope. He is a man of most austere virtue, the grandest charity and benevolence, and is universally revered by all classes and sects of the Golden State. Such is the profound respect entertained for thebishop in California that he is generally regarded as a miracle worker by the lower classes; they believe that his prayers will accomplish any thing. Some months ago a terrible drouth affected California; the crops burned up, the sheep fell dead in the pasture, everything promised a terrible disaster, a famine, a pestilence. Day after day, week after week passed and still no rain. The Californians grew desper ate. There was a general appeal to the bishop, a request to him to pray for rain in order to save the famished, dying crops. The bishop did as he was asked, and prayed for 'rain. Half an hour after his prayer the rain began falling. The farmers cried out with joy, and the bishop became a more popular saint and Jhero than ever. The next day the rain con tinued to fall heavily, and so it continued day after day for weeks. The farmers got enough rain and became anxious for it to stop, but instead of doing so the rain kept on growing worse and worse. The crops now began to suf fer from too much water, and the bishop was appealed to and asked to stop the rain, to pray for dry weather. This, however, he emphat :,Ioally refused to do. The unprecedented rain bl soon began to injure other things beside the crope. The rivers and creeks began to and soon the whole Sacramento valley .sat.hrletened with in ndaWm la d destreo tion. The telegraph has laely given us full particulars of these (lifornia floods, and estimates the damage done as high as $100,000,000, but it fails to give the popular feeling in California against Bishop Allmany. The people, believing that he is responsible for the late rain and floods, have grown exceed ingly violent, and are denouncing, in the strongest terms, the man whom lately they believed a saint. His miracles are too much for them. There have been a good many complaints down here about our mail service. It was un derstood that a Southern man was appointed Postmaster General, because the Southern mail service needed especial revision, care and development. Key, it was promised, would put us at once on the same footing as our more favored Northern and Western brethren; we were to have more routes, and to have a fast mail service inaugurated here. '1here were several postal conventions held to suggest how these results could be best brought about; a commission was even ap pointed and sent South by the Postoflice De partment to investigate postal arrangements here, and'everything promised, if not com plete, at least partial, reform in our mails. But our mail service instead of improving has actually retrograded. The excuse for this failure has at last been discovered. Post master General Key cannot improve the Southern mail service because he has the mall to Deadwood City, Black Hills country, to attend to. The Black Hills mail takes up all the time and money of the Postofflice De partment. Although Deadwood is far re moved from the civilized world, cut off en tirely from society, without business of any kind, that savage and barbarous town has more mail facilities afforded it than Now Orleans. There are no less than ten expensive mail routes connecting it with the rest of the world, so that an Eastern creditor who is anxious to dun a dead-beat citizen of the Black Hills who has run off there without paying his debts has at least half a dozen different routes by which he can forward his bills. All these routes are expensive, as the mail requires a large force of guards to protect it from the Indians and bushwhackers of that interesting country. The result is that it costs more to send a letter to Deadwood than to send it thrice around the globe. A careful calcula tion of the expenses of the Black Hills divi sion of the Postofflce Department, and the amount of business done by it, shows that each letter sent to Custer or Deadwood City costs the government exactly $10 50 more than the postage on it. It is easy to see, therefore, why the .South cannot be attended to just now. The Black Hills mail service requires the supervision, the entire attention and care of Mr. Key. When he has finished with that, perhaps he may spare us a few minutes of his time. Bergh started out some years ago with a society for the protection of dogs. This so ciety had been in operation some years, and hundreds of canine sufferers had been rescued frcm poisoned sausages, boiling wa ter and other incidents of this cruel world, when some one suggested that the charitable work of the society might be enlarged, so as to include children as well as dogs and cats. The idea was at once seized upon, and the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chil dren was the result. It went to work imme diately; scores of children were rescued, principally from theatres and circuses, and carried'off in triumph by the society, to be deposited in respectable orphan asylums. It has just struck the mind of the leading men of this society for the protection of children that theatres and circuses are not the only institutions in this country that demoralize children. The discovery of an "Infant Order of Burglars" in San Francisco and New York, pledged to larceny and burglary, the dis appearance at the same time of some score of boys and carving knives, gone to meet the wild Indians of the Western prairies, have convinced this society that yellow-back burglar and highwaymen stories for boys are doing far more harm just now than all the shows in the world. The result has been a combination of gen tlemen in New York to fight the purveyors of these wild stories for boys; an attempt will be made at once to prevent, in some manner, the circulation of these deleterious books among children. An "Index Expurgatorius" has already been.prepared, for the benefit of parents and school teachers, of books that boys in future are to be forbidden to touch. The list is a very long one, and the names of the books most suggestive of their con tents. "Jerry O'Keefe, the Burglar of New York," "Bad Maurice, the Looney Detective," "'Under the Gallows," "Hell," "How to Mash," "The Four Jacks," "On His Ear," "The Mur der on the Pier," "Jim Jams," "The Pirate )octor," "The Pirate Chief," "The Smuggler," "The Masked Highwayman," "The Demon of the Deep," "Dick and the Devil," "The Pirates of America," "The Pirate Schooner." "The Black Pirate," "The Pirate Cutter," "The Highwayman," "The Assassin's Doom," and hundreds of the same kind. Few persons know the evil that these books bring forth, because few read them save the boys, who devour them by the hundreds. They are full of slang, full of impossibilities, and full of the worst morality. The hero is generally between twelve and twenty years of age; his father is a close, uncharitable old brute, who refuses to give his son money for his little festivities. The latter, in revenge, burglarizes the house of the cruel parent and makes off with the "swag," leads a wild, riot ous, dissipated life, enjoying himself with murders, robberies, etc. The effect of such stories upon the imagination of boys may well be conceived. A careful investiga tion made by the society in the New York Toombs and in the workhouse shows that the criminality of the boys in these institutions is in exact proportion with the amount of this sort of stuff they have read, and leaves it beyond doubt that these stories go far toward forming the character of those who read them. The law interferes to prevent boys from ruining themselves by drinking; how much more important it is to prevent their mental and moral ruin. If the New York society can, in any way, prevent the circulation and reading of these stories by boys, they will undoubtedly confer a great benefit on the en tire country. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS.
