POLITICIANS AT THE CONFESSIONAL
mas been great deal of noise lately
about one Helper, or Heller, whose name ap-
pears as the writer or the compiler of an aboli-
ton book-the Impending Crisis" Tho
author was denounced as q thief in Congress.
last year, by Senator from North Carolina
It was there stated that he had rohhed hin
masters till, and run away from the State.
This is not so remarkable an occurrence ma IN
surprise anybody; but we own to being az
toniahed when Missouri Clark, apropos to the
Helper book, denounced Greeley az a thief.
We are afraid that Mr.. Clark was wrong.
It is true that Greeley has been robbed
very often, and that he is surrounded by
thieves among his political associates; but
we have always believed that Greeley him
self was thoroughly honest and we believe
SO now. The philosophers protect, Helper,
or Heller, has had his skirts duly cleansed by
the Tribune, which states with characteristic
ndiuetf, that the young man did take some
three hundred dollars of his employers money,
under the impression that it was the usual
thing for shopmen to do. In this benighted
state of mind he made tracks for Cali
forDia, where miracle was worked
upon him more surprising than the
conversion of Paul on his way to Damas-
Gus. California is a great country wonder
full country-celebrated for big Jumps of gold,
high mountains, great rivers, immense trees,
and strawberries all the year round; but never
till the case Of Helper came up has it been con-
sidered as so remarkable for its crop of morals
as of bullion. But Helper not only got the
bullion, but, mirabae dictu! he found con.
science as well, and paid back to his employer
the money stolen from the North Carolina shop.
We congratulate the philosophers of the Til
bune upon their discovery of new article
of California produce. 1t beats any of the
wonderful things of which we have heard as
peculiar to the Golden State, and was worth
journey overland to see.

No appeal is left him now except to the Gle

TIE BEAUTIES OF THE LAWS DELAY.-One of
the most extraordinary instances Of the laws
delay in capital case is, perhaps, that of Ste
phens, the wife poisoner, upon which final de-
cision was had in the Supreme Court, General
Term, before Judges Roosevelt, Sutherland,
Strong and Igraham, on Tuesday. Stephens
was tried, convicted and sentenced to death for
the murder Of his wife, by poison, as far back
as the fall Of 1858, upon strong array Of cir
cumstantial evidence, chiefly of medical cha
racter, which, left no doubt of his guilt upon
the minds Of 1Djury, the Court or the public.
He appealed for new trial to the Court Of
Oyer and Terminer; but the application was
denied. He again appealed from this decision
to the Supreme Court, where his motion was also
denied. The case was then taken to the Court
of Appeals, where the sentence Of the Court
below was confirmed. Failing thus in the court Of
last resort, his counsel appealed second time
to the General Term of the Supreme Court on
Tuesday to have the case RENTED to tho Court
of Oyer and Terminer, in order that an applca-
ton for another trial might be made there, on
the ground that new evidence favorable to the
prisoner had been just discovered. Judge
Roosevelt, however, decided that the Supreme
Court had no power to interfere with the judg
mont CT .hc Court OF Appeals and had 10 alter

The HONORABLE JEFFERSON BRICK & Co. can
not bear misfortune. Since they took up the
cause Of Tammany and got so dreadfully
beaten they have been as nervous and restless
as they were after the celebrated retreat from
solferino, when they got mixed up among the
geographical elbows of the Mincio. This will
not do. Mr.. Brick and his coadjutors should
learn to bear misfortune and defeat with equa-
nimity and above all to keep their tempers.
Let dogs delight" &c. But if Mr.. Brick de-
sires really to ascertain how far the circulation
of the New YORK HERALD exceeds that Of any
other daily journal, let him hand in an affida-
Wit to the Postmaster, who is now taking proof
Of he circulation Of The various city Journal;

and elect him, too, while the bloody business
OF Harper's Ferry ia yet fresh in the public
mind, and before all the men taken at that raid
are executed
What is wanted, then, is new and vigorous
party, spripglng from the times and equal to
the mergency-homogeneou and with sin
gle principle and single purpose. It's ranks
would soon be filed with the best men from
all existing parties-even the moderate repub-
licans would take shelter under its wing men
who are only republicans in name, be-
cause they do not know any better party
to unite with, and who loathe the
democratic party for its corruptions and
violence, and degradation. The new conser-
vativc party, with General Scott at its head,
would sweep the country like tornado, and
drive back the revolutionary myrmidons Of
Seward at the North, and the disunion legions
of Hotspurs at the South. Let the old historic
hero, therefore, be nominated by some honest
man at the meeting on Monday evening; and as
sequel to that. let Scott meetings be held all
over the State and over the whole country, and
let them send delegates to Convention in this
city, to meet on the ed of February-the birth
day of Washington-in order to tender the no
mination to the man who, in our day, most
resembles the Father Of his Country'-a man
who, like Bayard, is without fear and without
reproach." This is the political chief for the
nation, demanded by the pressure of the times;
and well will it be for the country if it places
him in that position.
