THE OMAH4 INDIAN TRIAL


We reported, Thursday, the trial and con-
viction for murder, of four Pawnee Indians,
at Omaha, and the subsequent escape of two
of them. A later telegram says:
"An Omaha despatch says one of the
Indians who escaped on Tuesday night had
been recaptured. Little Wolf and
% Horse Driver" attempted to commit sui
eide yesterday afternoon, and both are in q
critical condition at present. :" Blue Hawk
has not been recaptured.
These Indians were delivered up by the
Pawnees, at the urgent dtmand of Super
intendent Janney, of Nebraska, sometime
last summer. He represented to the chiefs
of the tribe, the absolute necessity of doing
so, if they hoped to receive just dealing
from the whites. Friend Janney, however,
thinks the evidence against one or two Of
them, by no means conclusive, and there
is no certainty as to the circumstances
Of the homicide any proyocation
was given by the white man, or not. AT any
rate, application will be made TO the Gov
crnor of Nebraska TO commute the penalty
from hanging to Imprisonment, and from the
fact that he is known to be unfriendly to
Capital Punishment, on general principles,
it is to be hoped that these poor wild men
may receive the benefit of the doubts at
tending their crime, as well as of more
enlightened and Christian code than that
which demands blood for blood

THE OLD MEN DYING.


Within the last two weeks, four of the
prominent men Of the country, and one who
was alike famous in two great nations,
whose lives linked the earlier days of the
Republic with its present era, have died.
First, died George Peabody, the great mer-
chant, in his seventy fifth year. Successful
in all his enterprises, to a wonderful degree
he had applied their returns to philanthropic
purposes, with lberality that in all the
world has never had peer. As patron
of benevolent effort he stands, in the magni-
tude of his work, totally unequaled in histo-
ry. Yet, though residing in England, he
was born in America, grew to manhood here,
claimed his citizenship here, and after many
shorter returns, his mortal remains will re-
pose forever, beneath the soil Of his native
State.
Then followed Commodore Stewart, ia.
nous as naval hero, of the g War of 1872
occupying in the now far-oF history Of that
conflict, most prominent place. The old
Constitution, the " lronsdes,' Of those
days, is linked forever with our patriotic
memories, and her commander, the gallant
old Commodore, brings up, by his death, {
new interest in her achievements.
Then died General Wool, an old soldier
Stewart was aged ninety-one; Wool was il
his eighty-tirst year. lie had followed tn,
flag of his country on land, as Stewart hat
borne it on the sea, in two great wars, ant
in the third far trrpator ,ho, ,i. ntt...
was still ready for SCI vice With his dealt
another of the leutenants Of scott and Tay
Tor, leaves the scene Of their countrys mill
iary rcnown.
Following Wool, died Robert j. Walker
the lawyer and statesman, younger than til
others, but yet in his three-score-a nd-tentl
year. He had been United States Senator
Secretary of the Treasury, and the Gov
ernor of Territory, resigning from the las
position, for the reason, as he stated it him
self, that he swould not aid in forcin
Slavery on Kansas, by fraud and forgery"
And, on Friday, died al Washington, AmC
Kendall, nearly as old as Wool, for he wa
bonn in 1889. He was prominent charactt
in our history, for he was Andrew jackson
Postmaster General. His public life, hi
principles, and his hest exertions, wer
linked with the fortunes of the wonderf,
old despot-Presidcnt, who swore to han
the South Carolina Nullifcrs, il they dare
TO consummate their treason.

POLITICAL.

THE LAST Pennsylvania CAMPAIGN.
Col. A. X. Mcclure, contributes spicy
article to the Beaver Radical, on the last
Pennsylvania campai IN. He says the con-
test was singular in many respects. From
the time that the nominations were made by
both parties, until the day of the election,
the question was not, (which will most
skilfully organize and poll its voter" but
(which will make the greatest default2"
There was no inspiration on either side; no
name, no vital measure, no great consum
nation to make people enthusiastic. 1t was
dull, heavy drag on both sides. Perspir-
ing orators held forth to comparative va
cancy, and the few who did attend to hear
what to them was worse than twice told
| tales, gave no token of appreciation. Re-
publican of1ice-holders were taxed as usual,
| and party hacks were hired to work on the
stump, and to canvass districts and
bring out voters but everything
was done with the settled conviction
that the other side could win if it
would. Gov. Geary was nominated in q
wet blanket, and of the delegates who made
him their candidate, not one in ten hoped
for his election. He was confessedly weaker
| than the party, and possessed but few ele-
ments calculated to strengthen himself in a
canvass. Many were positively hostile to
him, and thousands were Indifferent, leaving
but few to shoulder the ordinary and extra
ordinary load of the contest. Covode took
the helm, with one or two good wheelmen
about him, and he Numbered straight through
to success. He may have spelled badly,
and handled some Of the delicate issues OF
the campaign something after the manner Of
a bull in a china shop, but he brought sue
cess, and that was curative statute for
original photography and equally original
letters and dispatches bearing upon political
diplomacy. His country horse sense never
forsook him, and he understood State per-
fcctly when it could be reduced to town
ships. lie wanted votes, and he made every
township and precinct distinct theatre OF
war He had voters visited, importuncd
and hauled to the polls, and thus, by a
thousand active skirmishes he won the de-
cisive battle. On the other side there was
too much money and stupidity to win sue
cess for bygone issues. One brief sentence
thus records the whole story OF Democratic
failure.
The latest returns from Wisconsin,
nearly all official, show that the Senate will
contain 10 Republicans, IA Democrats, and
8 independents and the House, IS Repub.
licans, 3S Democrats, and Independents.

The Alabama Legislature yesterday rati-
fed the Suffrage Amendment. In the Senate
the vote for ratification was unanimous. In
the House 1t stood SO yeas to l6 nays.
The Tennessee House of Representatives
yesterday refused to ratify the suffrage
amendment, by vote of 81 to ~. The
amendment is expected to fail in the Senate
also.
The above kilograms appear in Tuesday
mornings papers. The action of Tennes-
see was, of course, anticipated, and that of
Alabama adds one more State toward the
necessary twenty-eight, making, now, TWEEN
ty-two. Rhode Island, Iowa, Ohio, Ne
braska, Vermont, Mississippi, and Texas,
will make twenty-niRe, and none of them
can be considered doubtful.
BY the way, the unanimous vote in the
Alabama Senate shows that the Democrats
of that State yield approval to Manhood

NEW YORR'S RI LITIGATION
TDNpT ET'E

The reason why New York cannot revoke
her ratification of the Fifteenth Amend
ment is a plain one, and founded on common
sense, as well as law and precedent. 1t is,
simply, because her Legislature has duly
given its formal consent to the proposition
of Congress, and having once passed over
that consent to the United States, her con-
troll of it ends. A second party may refuse,
dozen times, the proposition Of a first, but
when he has once formally and decisively
accepted it, the contract is closed, and he
cannot, thereafter, withdraw from it.
This plain view shows, also, the position
of Ohio. The proposition is made to her,
| to ratify the Amendment; her Legislature,
at one session, has declined; but the propo-
sition is still open, and refusal at one time
does not at all prevent acceptance at an
other. Because the resolution to ratify
failed to pass the Legislature Of Ohio, last
Winter, is no reason why similar resolution
would not be perfectly valid if it received a
majority of votes, this Winter.
This, we think, is plain enough.
But New York cannot withdraw her rati-
fication, for reasons of legal procedure. Her
certificate that she approves the proposed
Amendment has gone to Washington, and
has been placed on file in the Department o.
| State. New York cannot get back of thai
7 fact. The certificate, filed in the State De
parment, is no longer the property of New
York, her Legislature, or her Governor
VI but national paper, the property of thu
] United States. Secretary Fish could not dc
stroy or return it, If he even desired to d.
such thing, as, of course, he is the farthcs
] possible from desiring. On the contrary, h
/ | will wait the time when the certificates @
e twenty-eight States, ratifying the Fifteent
0 Amendment to the Constitution of til
United States, have been placed in his hands
and then he will proceed, as it becomes hi
duty, to announce that that Amendment ha
become part of the Constitution itself.
: the meantime, any message or intimatio
frcm any body, whether Governor or Lcgi
= ture, prince, potentate, or private citizel
d saying they desired to withdraw" certai
d archives from those in his keeping would |
/ simply impertinent, and beneath notice.
a Let it be set down, at once, that Ne,
York has approved the 18th Amendment
e and her approval counts one towards Ii
: necessary twenty-eight.

groans Of less extensive casualties, whose de-

human beings, so extensive as that at the
Avondale mine; the destruction of the Stone
