OF Sir Curtis Miranda Lampson, the American
Just created baronet:-" He was born iu
Vermont, In the United States. The early life
OF Sir Curtis was passed IN the hunting and

Vermont, he came to England in the year 1884.
and permanently settled in this country, In
lS4S he took the oath of allegiance and became
naturalized British subject, and was enrolled
among the friends of law and order who in that

public peace. On his arrival in England he on.

Married Man Attempts % Outrage

Married Man AttenApts to Outrane
the Persons OF Two LATHE Girls.:
Vnr exchanges from all quarters Of the coun-
are hlled with accounts of outrages com
NAAted In their respective communities, but we
aaVe not for years been compelled to record so
nOrrDle crime perpetrated IN our midst as
mat we are about to relate. 1t seems that on
saturday afternoon last, man (whose name
We very recently omit, out OF respect for his
relatives, who are among our hlrhly esteemed
sitlzensl who resides in the upper end OF the
city, man of family, enttced two little girls,
aged respectively about seven and eight years,
into his own house, and there, after locking the
doors to prevent outsiders from intruding,
attempted to violate their persons. Fortunately,
the little ones, by their cries, alarmed the vii
lain who, fearing he might be discovered in
the commission OF his crime, permitted them to
leave the premises. The littls girls. upon reach
ing theirihomes made a plain statement of the
facts to their parents, who had the scouudrel
arrested yesterday morning. He was taken
before Mayor Edwards who held him in one
thousand dollars bail, in each case, TO appear at
court. The bail was furnished, and the prisoner
released iro m the lookup.
While we deeply sympathize with the family
and friends OF the man-and although IL is
natural for them to desire a settlement of the
case-tbe public good the safety of the chill
dren OF the community, and justice demand
that the individual who thus enticed two little
innocent girls into his own house for the pur.
pose of gratifying his evil passions be prose-
cuted to the full extent of the law, and that he
be made to suffer the severest punishment that
can be meted out for such crime. AS long as
persons of this character are permitted to run
at large, there is no guarantee that the offense
will not be repeated, and to drop the matter |
here would be an inducement TO others to per- !
petTate similar joutraees. 1t is necessary that |
an example be made that will prove terror to |
all eviLdisposed villains and prevent them from |
committing equally hellish oHenses. In behalf I
Of the people of Harrisburg, we say let Justice
be done speedily.
Had the outrage been committed in almost
any other community, the case would have been
settled summarily before it came into the hands
OF the law, but we are gratlied to know that
our people are law-abiding citizens, who are
disposed to have offenders tr1ed by the courts. ]

A singular omission occurs In this morn

qualifications for Mayor. Ills extraordi-
nary military services are entirely over

seat of war; aud his undaunted holiday
parades four times year ut home, frown-
Ing down rebellion ut long range. are not
given that special attention which such
gallant and hazardous conduct deserves.
Something upon this point Is very deslra-
bic at this time, rs the Convention nomln-
ated Mr. TURNER over two soldiers, who
saw active service IN the face of the enemy,
and one of whom was seriously wounded.
The Convention, no doubt, was aware OF
the greater military achievements of the

Now and Then.

JANIS BUCHANAN was denounced as a
traitor by the Republican press because he
did not arrest BREcxINmDGR TooMBs, DA-
vIs, HUNTER, KEITT, BURNETT, and other
members of the Senate and House of Rep
rcscntativcs, before tho breaking out of tho
rebellion, on the ground that they purposed
treason. s rr.
lfhe had done 50, possibly there would
have been no rebellion.
Mr.. LINCOLN certainly, during his Presl-
DENTAL term was not NJ scrupulous In his
exercise of Executive power as was his pre-
deccssor--and In all his acts WIS warmly
supported aud applauded by the Ropubll-
can party.
President JOHNSON then, at least, may
rely upon the preccdents set by Mr.. LIN
colin, If he decides that the public cXigcn-
eies require him to put 1t out OF the power
of n few radicals to embroii the country In
another war, or what may be yet even more
fatal, to stab TO death constitutional lib

The Abolition Candidate for
MayOr

Professional oilice-seekers are open 10
criticism. JANIS TURNER, ESQ., the Aboli-
tlon candidate for Mayor is ono ni this
class. For the last ten or fifteen years he
has been candidate for some Office, large
or small-the size Of the oIllcc didn't make
much difference. Before the war he pro-
fcsscd 60 he Democrat. aud the De,noorats
gave him Office aud position. They made
him all he is rs u public man. He rcpnid
them by becoming II renegade aud going
over TO the Abolition party. The opportu-
nifty now presents itself for the Democrats
to put their seal OF condemnation upon his
base ingrattude, and they intend 10 do u
most cmplmtlcaily on Monday next. They
intend TO teach him that mock patriotism
and shoulder-straps can not shield him
from the odum Of his past conduct, in re-
gard TO those who stood by him, when he
professed 10 be Que of their number That
game wont win. And we know of u good
many Republicans who voted for Judge
HAYNES, last fall, who remember that he
denounced them rs ono better than Copper
heads and traitors" and they intend to mark

thought he knew anything about 1t beyond
the instinct to go with that party which
gives him the offices.
