Captain HalI's Case.

1t is rather singular coincidence (says
a Boston paper) that a man should re.
turn from one of the most sue ,essful
and perilous expeditions ever underta-
ken, and while be is making reports and
receiving the heartiest congratulations,
be is charged with murder. The kill
ing of Coleman is justified by DR.. Hall
on the ground that be was the leader Of
a nutinous party, who threatened the
success of his expedition. He shot him
and there was no further trouble.
One Bayne, a brother-in law of Cole.
man, has made a complaint before JUS,
tice Martindale, of Jersey City, charg-
ing Captain Hall with murder; but the
Justice decided that be had no jurisdic~
tion, and sent the complainant before a
Court having marine jurisdiction. If
Captain Hall should be arrested, he will
never be convicted of the crime, and all
these proceedings against him will prove
but temporary annOyances. 1t may
crafty a feeling of revenge entertained
by Coleman's relatives to bring the
Captain before Court of Justice, but
nothing more would be accomplished.
The Courts should not meddle with
the matter at all. Itis just as necessa-
ry for Captain Hall with a dozen men in
the Arctic regions to maintain discipline
as it is for the Captain of any merchant.
man or man. of,war, who commands a
larger number. The moment the Courts
recognize the right of a subordinate TO
dispute the commands of a superior, or
demur at his orders, they then begin to
encourage insubordination and mutiny.
Captain Hall was in what most people
recognize as eight place" The fate
of his whole expedition depended upon
the willing and hearty cooperation OF
all his followers. He shot a trouble,
some man who threatened to destroy the
results of bis labors and Eardships ant
overthrow his future plans. The CONS
plete success Of his expedition after-
ward is a vindication that bis prompt
action, have as it may appear, was bis

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY.
Peter Bayne and J. Samuel Spearmin,
seamen, publish this card in the New
Bedford Mercury:
Having seen a statement made by DR..
| Hall relative to the men he had with him
on his expedition in search of Sir John
Franklin sremains, we, the undersigned,
deem it our duty to make positive de.
nial of this accusation Jas made1n his
report to Mr.. Grinnell) Of having mutt
MED. We assert that the man alluded
to (Coleman) was shot in cold blood, in
a cowardly manner, without sufficient
cause. Hall having taken all the weap.
ons we possessed IA rihe) away from us,
then, appearing with loaded revolver
in hand, asked Coleman whether Re
would be dutiful man or not; which
be answered by asking: "How, duti,
full, Sir? What more duty do you want
of me ?" Coleman, in his dying mo,
ments, requested us to inform his friend:
of his being shot, and in what manner.
We deem it our duty to make such
statements as will cause the proper au
:horlties to Investigate this sad affair.

A RADICAL ORGAN ON GEN. GRANT.

Ifthere is a Radical Organ which, in
respect to Radicalism, has been with
out variableness, such an organ is the
veteran New Y ork Commercial, Well,
the Commercial gives its readers the
following, under the head of ':The
Spoiled Child"
"Some OF the extreme party organs
have taken to scolding the Sun because
of its bold, blunt manner OF talking to
Gen. Grant. 1t would be much better
for General Grant and the Republican
party if some of these cringing, time
Serving, spoil seeking, office-expe ting
champions of the President would fol-
low the example of the Sun, and tell
him to his face that lie has done moth
ing but blunder since he CT tered the
White House. These teruagant Or
cans know it, but lack the courage 60
Speak their mind, for fear of losing the
chance of being made postmaster or
tide waiter. General Grant has been
acting like spoiled child, and gentle
application OF birch would be likely to
have powerful effect upon him. We
advise The special friends of the Gener-
| al. who are acting very much as super
animated grandmas and granpapas do
| with n pet grandchild, to remember the
ancient adage, ''Spare the rod and spoil
| the child" Let them act on this advice
and the Republican party will be more
certain to exhibit vitality in the nexl
election. We speak thus plainly be.
cause we think the occasion demands il
even at the risk of being assailed as 9
Conservative, playing into the hands
| of the Democracy. A little wholesome
truth-telling applied to PresidentGrant
we repeat, will be advantageous to hin
and the party"

LYNCHBURGERs EVERYWHERE.

On our way to Lexington, we met
Col. j. Marshall McCue. Full Of life,
spirit and kindly humor, as he always
is, he was peculiarly so on thiszoccas-
ion, for he had just come over the Pa
cilic railroad, and plumed himself not a
little on being the first Virginian who
had performed that feat. He spoke in
glowing terms of the road; said the
newspapers had maligned it, and that
it was beyond all question one of the
best roads in the world. He had much
to tell abou. the wild and romantic
countries through which he had passed
and exclaimed:
"What do you think? In the very
heart of those wild Western Businesses
l met two Lynchburgers-Mr. j. Os
borne Taylor and Mr.. -, on thell
way to Idaho or some other outlandisl
| place"
"Of course, of course" replied a by
stander. s'rhere is nothing at al
strange in that. In my whole life
never went any where that / didn'
meet Lynchburgers. They are every
wherein every city, every village
every country, on the face of the earth
1 do honestly believe that if | were t
go to hill, the first man ia meet woul
be Lynchburger." Everybody roared
