These facts have come to our knowl-
edge with regard to the story about Mr.. John
jaw, recently published in The World and Sun.
The story is one of family quarrel, private
and painful in its nature, and the version
given to the public is very incomplete and I'M

was guided by the best legal talent at his
command having secured the services OF
distinguished American lawyer then in Baden

were instituted and they were conducted by

the time, and measures were taken as far us

The fashion of electing conyicts is not good
for this latitude (witness some of our city
electionsD but it has merit in such case as
that of O'Donovan Rosa. This Fenian pa
trot was chosen to represent Tipperary be-
cause, to use the words of his partisans, Ire
lands humble petition" for his release was
"spurned." If the act does any harm
it should be to those who were
not sagacious enough to be magnanimous
and against the delusiOn that the Irish prob
lem is to be solved by any sort of legal aims
giving. We altogether fail to see that The
London Ners has rightly taken the meaning of
O'Donovan's election by quoting, Release unto
Gus Barabbas." 1t is true, nevertheless, that
the election of the imprisoned Fenian was .

We do not mean to be driven from our fixed
resolve not to attempt refuting in detail the
mOnstrous falsehoOds daily concocted and cir
culated with regard to the Richardson tragedy.
Most of these are the work of men who lie with
a purpose-to feed a grudge or iDjure a rival.
But finding the assertion reported in our own
columns that "Beecher was getting behind
"THE TRIBUNE" we feel bound to stamp it
as the lie it is. Mr.. Beecher spoke for himself
att the funeral of our lamented associate and
friend; he spoke again in his Card correcting
the fabrication of The Star. Those who have
read what he has said and written know what
is the truth others ought to know Henry
Ward Beecher better than to believe the lie
He sometimes does unpopular things; but he
never "gets behind" any one to screen himself

Another case of careless construction has juSs
been exposed at Joliet, III. The end walls OF
two stone buildings belonging to the Joliet
Iron Company fell, to the great regret OF
everybody and it is feared that the main
walls will follow suit. In this case the destruc-
ton is attributed to the freezing of the NOR
tar, and a subsequent thaw. Nobody was
killed, but great many people might have
been if the walls had but stood little while
longer. The iron roof of the building would
have been put on in few days. The tumble
took place in the night. 1t is about time to
stop this sort of thing by little judicious
legislation.
