IT is with great regret that we find ourselves called upon to notice so disgraceful an affair as that which occurred, recently, under the auspices of the owner of a bull-dog. As most of our readers are acquainted with the circumstances of the case, we will not enter into them, but that so flagrant an exhibition of cruelty and rowdyism should pass among us without notice would justify the accusations of a low standard of morality which writers in the Transcript have striven so hard to substantiate. The individuals who were concerned in the affair are liable to prosecution for cruelty to animals, but they will probably escape the punishment they so richly deserve. They cannot, however, avoid the judgment of public opinion, which must refuse the title of gentlemen to persons who participate in the amusements of a cock-pit.
