The YERGER CASE AND THE SU-
pREME CoURT.-Advice to General
Grant: To issue an order to his military
commanders in Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas, to make no delay In trying
eases like that Ot Yeryer, aud to allow
not more than six hours to elnpse be-
tween the capture of a murderer. ana, II

the officer in command at Jackson,
when Yerger killed Col. Crane, organic
ed a drum head court martial, put the
villain on trial, and hung him before
the sun went down, we should have
heard one loud and prolonged cry OF
rage and despair from the tens OF thou
sand would be imitatOrs of his example;
but there would have been no more
murders Of that sort. As it is, in few
months the cutthroat will be smashing
around the streets of Jackson again,
ready to shoot the present commander
of the post, from behind tree, or from
a second story window, and every one
of the thug knife fraternity in the unre-
constructed States will be gloating over
the IMMUNITY with which u -
Yankee officer" may be slain. The farce
Of his trial by civil tribunal, to which
the Supreme Court will remand him,
and in which every juror will at heart
be his confederate, will not be worth
public contempt. The whole affair will
ONLY furnish new illustration of the
consummate puerility of the endeavor
to govern q turbulent and rebellious
people by military law, from which ev-
erything in the shape of penalty has
been wiped out. Yet, from the out-giv-
ings in the McArdle case, aud from tie
known political unfriendliness of ma
jority of the judges, we are convinced
tina we shall 10y and by be compelled to
announce the result that we predict. *
From beginning to end, the fatal er-
ror in the treatment of the South has
been the one that crops out in this mat

Though the ruling classes in that coun-
try-we mean the men like lerger IN
Mississippi, who control the organiza-
ton and action of political parties, and
who, by their violence and treaciery,
are the terror Of men Of peace-are just
as essentially bsrbarous as SO many Ca

The writ was served upon one O
those parties who placed himself be
tween me and my children and told M
that could not pass. His reply to thu
writ was that he was unable to produce
the children in court for the reason thai
the mother would not permit it.
The merits of the case were tried with
out the presence of the children, and
the opinion of the judge was that ac-
cording to the evidence produced there
was nothing to show but what the faith
er was proper person to have the care
and custody of his children, but that,
under the circumstances, he could not
make all order requiring them to be de-
livered to him, but thought that at
proper and reasonable times he should
be permitted to visit his family at the
house of Mr.. Carey, and should not be
molested or disturbed, but be treated
respectfully and civilIy.

The City Loan.

The Ottawa Republican, IN speaking of the
proposed city loan, comedies the necessity OF
it, and advises its readers to vote for it, but
doubtless Fundamentally enormously repre-
sents the question as involving increased tax
alton. This is not so. The city, the present
year, has by special taxation, raised some
$1,000 to pay off bonds that fell due. There
are no bonds due next year, nor for several
years to come, so that a special tax Of 2 mills
to meet these bonds will not be collected next
year Besides that, there have been some $751;
600 raised this year by a special tax for school
purposes that will not be collected next year.
Here is an inevitable reduction next year OF
at least mills on the dollar from the taxation
OF the present year. BY the charter, the city
can only collect mills ON the dollar for city
purposes after the present year, and at the
outside seven mills for school purposes, mak-
ing IL mills next year against Is mills the
present year. Whether the loan is voted or
not cannot affect the amount of taxation next
year; but unquestionably, after next year,
though none of the extraordinary taxation of
the present year to meet school indebtedness
may be necessary, the city will doubtless
need more than five mills on the dollar to car
ry on its government creditably. The present
loan is absolutely needed to slide over" the
city until authority to levy increased taxation
can be obtained Of the legislature-an author
ity which our people asked of the last legisla-
ture, and thought they had obtained, but out
of which they were e,rarud.
