THE NEW REIGN OF TERROR,

The Globe, of yesterday, copies four or five
columns from the printed evidence taken by the
committee appointed by the Pennsylvania Lee
gislature to investigate the charge Of bribery
and corruption made against the Bank of the
United States.
Judgt PORTER was one of the hundred wit
nesses examined, and it appearing, by his own
statement, that he had on several occasions du
ring his lite fallen in company with Handy and
Brodhead, the agents of the Bank-nay, had
transacted business of a private nature with
one Of them on one occasion-the Globe Inqui-
sitor seiZes on that circumstance to utter an in
situation that he was implicated in the guilt of
the Bank! BY the same mode of reasoning, if
we can establish the fact that Mr. Blair was
long cheek-by- jowl with certain officer Of the
Government, who was afterwards convicted OF
embezzlement, then the editor of the Globe de-
serves to be in the penitentiary We doubt not we
can establish the fact of the existence of certain
business transactions between the editor of the
Globe and one or more notorious rogues and de-
fauters. We can also show, necessary that even
Mr.. Van Buren, was by no means stranger TO
Hoyt and SUdrtpOut. But is this any evidence
that he participated in their guil,2 The long in
vestigation republished by the Globe establishes
no other fact than that the editor is seeking to
blacken the character of an honorable man to
subserve the basest of political purposes
But now the investigation shall go on to full
and triumphant termination. The Pennsylua
mid,4 clique shall be probed to the bottom. The
public shall know the difference between honest
men, and the reckless assassns of private char
acter The first stones were thrown not by in
nocent men. We did not seek this quarrel
but :" being in" we shall not be the first to at
tempt to escape from it.
The bulk of the charges brought by the Globe
against the Secretary of War; are for offences
committed in the Pennsylvania Convention in
1887. We would ask why he was not punish
ed at the time? And how happens it that he
was urged by Mr.. Buchanan and others on Mr..
Van Buren, in 1888, for seat in the Cabinet
The sequel will show whether the Globe and
Pennsylvania have been authorized by the great
Democratic party to murder the reputation OF
one of its ablest members merely because he
accepted the War Department from President

THE NEW SECRETARY OF WAR.

James Madison Porter, brother of David r., has
been appointed Secretary of War by John Tyler, in
the place of John c. Spencer transferred IN The
treasury Department. This is very brilliant ap-
pointment and one that seals Tyler's nfamy, if it
needed sealing. No one opposed John TYLER himself
with more ardor than James NJ Porter and vet the
iamented Harrison not two years in his grave be-
lore this pampered minion of vile faction is Hou-

sor and occupying the post to which the lamented
dead had called the accomplished Bell-and from

POST OFFICE LAW

1t will be remembered that some time last
fall we published letter of the Postmaster
General TO gentleman in Kentucky, upon the
subject of writing on newspapers and sending
them through the mail
That letter was republished in many papers,
and the soundness of the legal opinions il ex-
pressed, in reference TO the 30th section of the
Post Office law of 1925, was generally admitted
and acquiesced in.
There were some, however, who doubted
their correctness, and we remember that wild
man, by name Byington, member of the Ohio
Legislature, introduced resolution calling up
on the President to dismiss the Postmaster Gen
era for entertaining and publishing such opin-
ions, which he was pleased to characterize as
weak and puerile. These remarks are called
forth, at this time in consequence Of reading
The opinion of the Judge of the United States
District Court for the State of Maryland, which
we publish below. And we invite its pubca-
ton in all other newspapers, that the public
may see the Postmaster has in this case, as il
is his purpose in all other instances, made the
Constitution and the law of the land the rule OF
his official conduct:

United States rs. Elder-Ths was a suit TO re-
the penalty imposed by the Post Office law Of
1885, for violation Of the Both section of that law
by writing or putting memorandum on the margin

In this case il was in proof that the defendant, MIR
Elder, of the firm of Elder, Gelston & Co wrote or

fused to pay letter postage thereon.
In compliance with the requirement of law it wa

within the prohibition of the Both section of the Ac
of 1925, and subject to its penalty. The opposit,
ground taken by the Defence and after arp,Imen
upon the construction of the law, the Court decide,
that it violation of the law to place on paper OF

other than the name of the party 10 whom The paper
was sent. The jury accordingly rendered verdic
for the United States.
