It s not, we believe, the task of the journalist to, deal with these loathsome subjects in detail, and !it is to be regretted that some of our pa pers do so; jbut such as iorce themselves on the public attention cannot be passed over in silence, Of such a character is: the paintul exhibition that' took place in New l'ork oil the day referred to, when women of oth erwise respectable appQarnce hterally reeled through the public thorotughlares as they proceeded from house iu. uuuse inaiiing tneir JNew lesur's calls.

They deprecate impeachment, -howfcver, on the ground that it ought hot to be yindc rtaken in a partisan spirit that this pioceeding of Mr. Ashley looks more like partizanship than the purity and solemnity of justicethat the effect, if the business be persisted in, will be more.disastrous to its promoters than to.aff.
