THE "PALL MALL GAZETTE'S" SENSATION.

(s\n 1 1. \%< im/> \i w-^ iv rrm.) Thk motive of .1 dating deed is its true t and is either it-. justification or its condemnation, as the case may bo. The Pall Mall (Ja/.otto has \entmoil upon a feat nij.Hiiii.ili-mtli.it will beeithoi appioved or dtuouneod, as its motives niaj piove to be good in ill. If tin" nnliolv traffic to winch it his made such pointed and peisim.il .illusions is being exposed for the pnrpo.se of hi caking it up, and with im fje singly to the public g.md, tlieu the (la/ette lias undei taken .1 light noble duty, and de-scivt-s the countenance and support of all decent men .Hid women- 11, bowevei, it is nii'icly indulging 111 sensationalism to in ciease its ciieulation, and with no intention <>f pui suing tho matter after the peisonal pui poses of the paper aie sened, it is reckoning without its h.nt, and hassmiplv huiled a boomerang that will letinn to hint those who thiew it. The (Jav.etto is publi.shed in about the veiy last place in tin 1 world wlieie it would Ik- «afe to indulge m huch e\posuies as it has just engag> dm, except for piuposes bey»nd question and fnnn motives above lepn.ach. We make nodoiibt that it has dehber itely enteied upon this crusade after having duly weighed the consequences, reckoned the cost and assure I itself of itx facts. We !ii is \eiy suit, too, that it has ability, influence and persistence enough to accomplish any good purpose to which it chooses t<» devote itself. Foitun.itely the (Ja/ette brings to its solf-app untod task a chaiaUcr so dc-civudl} high that its good motives w ill be tiken for giaiited until the contiaiy isinide toafhiiiiativi 1\ appeal. It is well th.it <n t:cklis|«a woik should be in such ini(|uesti inabl. hands. If it hid boon undt l taken by a joiirn.il that p indei-some-what to the lowei stiata ot s )cioty, the motivo would at once h.iv e been chalk njed, ,md the offending paper would piohahly bo well puni-hcd foi its temeiit}. But with the abU-wnttui, -cholaily and hi<,'h-toiied (Ja/ctto, th it Imds its constituency of readeis jimmg the thoughtful and cultmed, the puii-st ,\\\fi best elements of s ictcty, the case is vi ry ditfei.int. It has doubtless u>npiduel well what it was about to do, ,md is strongly as,uied of its facU We should be 8 .ryii ed In-j.md measuu- if it d« -s not give a -utwfuctory account of it-elf .md if good does not lesult fioin its elfoits. The objection urged against its e>ui<e is that the subject it has mid -i taken to handlj is too deheite (.>i mutd touch. The evils it would fain extirpate nny exi<t and tlnive, anil ove.i bee imiu tistctitigsinc-', thit arc eating tliL-ir w ij into th-- >.i;. vitals ..r mid '.ty, and the> may bi so public .is to bi known of all men, yet the inn ite delicacy of the subject mu-t nfeds w.nn off the thoughtful and the pme, fr li" scientist and tho philinthropi-t. Th * noble aimy of men and women, who would leave th" w oild Ivttei than they f.. mid it, must leave one of the gieatesu rviK th.it afflict it untouched, lest thuir n-vn jmutj should be c tiled in (|iie-tn»n. Willy, there is a great dual of mock delicacy, and of sham- and humbug, in tins covviidly avoidanc ■ i.f .in evil that -tilk- about i:i broad daylight, md nieets miitevoiy tuin.

Hi'teis of Merry, the grandeur ot whose Jives id b-yond question, found " Magdalon Asylums, ' and ch.irit.iblH ladies, whoso untivod aio rtiipoinu t) doubt, fßtoblish "Refuges foi tho Fallen," and yet the subject is too delicate .md too surntunded with chthculty for strong nrjn to tnkc hold of with .i hi mucH indicating that thpy ucm to deal with it as one of tin" Kr.mv-t ]noblems that concern the civih/ation of the age. Thu meiit of th- Tall Mall (Ja/.-tte is that it taken hold of it in just that w ij. It stukes at the men who buy and -*ell and make aluciative tialue in a dii -of ion that is supposed to be «o coinpli'tcly undei tht ban of public opinion a*, to bo utteily un mention, ible and iude-cribable within leich of ears polite. 1 1 strikes tho blow just w here it will d<» the moxt good. The idea is by no means origin il with the (la/ette. It has often beon suggested th.it th" owneis of propel ty let foi questioiiMblc pmp.'se-, and moneyed tr.dhckeis in immoi.i'ity, rather thin thoir ]»ooi victims, were th< jiaities to hold up to «cotn. For tho one cl.im thoie were, often evcu»es to be nnido ; for tho othor there were absolutely none. The object of tho latter was the raking in of t< r.ibly dl-g^tten (rain*, and tliu means was the unholy sale of human bodies and vnil*, f.i*hionod aftoi the imago of their Maker. We re-eivr oni sternest frowns for th* poor, tempted and fallen ones, and why should socit'tv, <u individuals, or the pio<s, fhuch fimn dealing even more sternly with thox" who promote and create the evil, and who, without temptation or excuse, tnlhc in it, pinfitbyitand invent their capitil to m ike it nlluiim,' and attrnctiro and y ide«pre id, find theieforo as destructive as possible Why, wo say, should this class t>vMpo notice, aiid even bo received into good society, w Inlethoir weaker, more necessitous «fid therefor-* much m ireexcn-.iVe \ictiiix, aie execrated and treated as out'asts? It is time that the. blam-i and buiden of t l ie wronc xhould be more fairly dintubutcd. It has often been ."Uggentf-d how the distnbution could be morn fairly in ide, but it h i* rein lined for the l'all M dl(ia/att<* to e.im the suggestion into elFect. Its coui-e vmII bo watched and its success hoped for by tlnce who look beneath the mii face of tilings, and who, liihtc.td of v\ie«thng with effects, will destroy their cuiso. Kiglit here in San Francisco there is need for just the kind of vvoik that tho Pall Mill (Jruette has undertaken in London.
