A Paacy Stock Company Gors (>,
A year ago we were charmed with
eccounts of the splendid improvements
of •' the St. Louis Live Stock Improve-
ment Association,'' who were to pro-
ride palaces and parks for Texas long-
horned ateers, which would reconcile
them to the loss of freedom and long j
grass on the prftiriea. The institution
waa publicly "inaugurated" with a
grand jollification, or as the Globe
puts it, "with a great flourish of
trumpets, with Delmont Park as the
driving grounds for its aristocratic
members." Whom the gods love die
young, and the St. Louis Live Stock
Improvement Association was brief
as well as lovely in its life;
anil has shuffled off its coil, leaving to
the Sheriff the duty of executor, and
to the subscribers of the stock the of-
fice of chief mourners. The stables,
clubhouse and fifty acres of ground
were sold out under a mechanics' lien
execution in favor of Henry Palmer,
being purchased by H. D. Laughlin
for the pitifnl sum of $7»0. The St.
Louis Live Stock Improvement Asso-
ciation, like many other institutions
with agricultural names, seems to have
been a strictly moral race course; and
hopes, though it did not live a hun-
dred years, to rival the fabled Phcenix
in the matter of a speedy resurrection.
The Globe says:
Frank Redfield, the well-known turf-
man, has leased the premises, and will
try what individual enterprise can do
towards making the place a success;
and it is to be hoped that he will re-
ceive encouragement and patronage
from the lovers of horseflesh, who de-
sire a good track and a pleasant resort.
St. Louis certainly requires such an
institution, and it remains for the sea-
eon of 1874 to show how far they will
support the new undertaking.
The mistake has been in this, as in
many other matters: St. Louis, being
prosperous and ambitious, undertook
too much. A quiet lane, a quarter of
a mile img, where cavorting disputants
ikbout the speed of their nags could
settle the question was all that was re-
quired.
Kruarda to Informers.
An old New York politician, writ-
ing in the Herald in regard to the late
bad conduct of members of the police
force in thai city, saj3: "Policemen
should be chosen from among the
soberest and most enlightened class of
our fellow-citi/ens, and the command-
ing officers should be men who would
perform their duty with a sense of jus-
tice rather than for mercenary motive."
Few will dispute this statement; but
we are constantly met l>y the remark
that, so long as human nature remains
as it is, men will not use the same vi-
gilance under a simple sens* of duty
that they will with the hope of pecun-
iary reward. We are glad
to see that this subject is now before a
body as high as the Congress of the
United State.-, and is likely to receive
intelligent consideration iu that body,
as well as by the leading papers of the
country. To a free people few things
are more repugnant than the idea of
being dogged by eavesdroppers, spies,
and informers. The old stories of
men being falsely accused or betrayed
into technical violations of the laws
and then treacherously sold for "blood
money" in Europe, are shocking to
every sense of right and humanity, and
people begin to awaken to the enor-
mity of the growth of the
system in this country. The
operation of the law of Congress,
under which the private books and
papers of a merchant may be taken
from him, and his business suspended
at any moment through the cupidity
of others, has at length aroused the
commercial community of the whole
country. The press almost univer-
sally condemns the system. A lead-
ing New York weekly says:
We hope that Congress will not sup-
pose that the interest in the enormity
of the moiety byslem is confined to the
newspapers or to the mercantile com-
munity. It is a subject of constant
private comment, and the sense of in-
dignation and shame is universal.
That American citizens should be sub-
jected to such outrages by American
law is humiliating. It is, indeed,
urged that the system is veiy old ; but
the antiquity of an abuse is the weak-
est argument for its continuance, while
the fact is that some of the worst parts
of the law are new. and when fairly
presented to the public mind, as th';y
have recently been, and fully under-
stood, the whole acheme is repudiated
by a just and manly instinct. The rad-
> ical vice of the moiety system is ob-
vious. It breeds spies, and makes the
Sain of the chief officers of the revenue
epend upon the violation of the laws
wnich it is their duty to inforce. It
becomes their interest to connive at
frauds and evasions, and to procure
them.
Our customs laws assume that great
merchants are great rascals, and make
honest traders pay for the offenses of
dishonest or incompetent officers.
Those laws, moreover, are such a mass
of confused and intricate provisions
that noL one merchant in a thousand
can be sure that, with the most honor-
able intention possible, he may not be
guilty of some technical offense which
wilt expose bim summarily to the loss
not only of great sums of money, but
of character and reputation, which are
his most precious capital.
But the system is most to be con-
demned because it tends to degrade
the public service and to debauch pub-
lic morality. It is * hot-bed of deceit
and psrjury, of suspicion and fraud.
In Jua*,!ltJ72, Belle decor, a young

ago Thomas B. Douglas, of Fort
Wayne, Ind., on his death-lied, con-
fessed that he committed the outrage.

caused a dull market, and sales only amount

From U. S. Deputy Marshal Martin R. Can-
field. who has recently returned from attend-
ing a session of the United States Court at
Brownsville, we receive the following notes:
The schooner Rebecca was condemned and
aold under an order of court pendente lite
and brought $800. The vessel was he- prop-
erty of Mexican subjects, who had her run
under the n ime of an American in order to
engage in the coasting trade, and she made a
trip from Brownsviiie to Tampico, where she
was seized by the Mexican customhouse offi-
cers for sailing under fraudulent paper-, and
an officer was placed on board. The master
of the Rebecca ran away from Tampico, and
bringing the customhouse officer with him
aalled the schooner into Brazos Santiago,
where the ves.sel was seized by the Un ted
States Customhouse authorities for the same
offense and condemned and sold.
An action was brought agai-st the steamer
8. J. L e (or taking on 300 logs on the Mexican
pide of the Rio Grande and landing them at
Brownsville, but the case wa- dismissed, as
the cargo brought by the vessel was not duti-
able, aud no offeuse was committed.

A mobt remarkable occurrence was
witnessed on the Northwestern Rail-
way track, at Oshkosb, Wis., last
•veek. The eu^ine of a freight train
going north jemped the track and
alighted with all its wheels on another
track six feet distant. The tender was
partly drawn across, but the cars re-
mained safe on the first track. The
sudden stop created considerable haroc
among the passengers and many were
bruised but none were seriously in-
jured.

THE PEOPLE'S
Lone Star Ice Company,
Composed of
B. TIERNAN & CO.,
Having now received its first cargo of Ice,
will be prepared to supply customers, at its
Ice House, on CENTER (or Twenty-flrst)
TREET, midway between Postofflce and
Church streets, on and after
Tuesday, the Tweutj-fourth Instant.
In asking the patronage of the public the
Company desire to say that careful calcula-
tion shows that ice can be furnished in this
city, at a reasonable profit for
Two Ceiits per pound Wholesale aud
Two and a Half Cents Retail
throughout the year, and that, therefore
these prices will be charged without devia-
tion Heretofore it has never been sold here
at wholesale for less than 2# cents per pound,
except in a few instance* of temporary and
active opposition, while sometimes, in cases
of scarciry, or of great demand ill seasons of
epidemic, as much as 5 cents per pound has
been extorted from the necessities of the
people. This Company having perfected ar-
rangements that insure its being always
abundantly supplied, and proposing to carry
on the business permanently, does not intend
or expect, by taking unfair advantages of the
citizens, to become rich within a few years,
but rather to grow gradually with the city,
and to share in its prosperity. Hence the
prices now adopted will not be increase I
should opportuuity be offered for extortion,
and will not be diminished for the purpose of
driving others out of the business, with a
view of gaining a monopoly, and then making
up losses by exorbitant charges. But a fair
living price has been adopted and will be
uniformly adhered to, in the confident ex-
pectation that the public will signify its ap-
proval by a liberal patronage, to deserve
which every exertion will be made.
