New-York tribune., 1869-04-01

We trust the Supreme Court will grant
stay of proceedings in the case of John Real
now under sentence of death for the murder
of Officer Smedick, and who will be executed
tomorrow unless this petition is granted. The
case of Real has one or two features which we
do not think have been properly considered.
We do not question the justice of the verdict,
but there was something unseemy in the trial
of the man, in the efforts of the Judge to Sc
cure his conviction, and in the public clamor
which has demanded his execution. Justice Is
never passionate. We do not feel altogether
comfortable over the prospect of man being
hastily tried, convicted and executed to gratlfy
what the Tammany Hall organ expressly declared
the determination of the leaders of the Tam
many Hall party. John Real was convicted rs
matter of policy. He was no better and no
worse than a great many OF the men who servo
the interests of the Tammany organization in
the lower wards. There can be no harm in
allowing this man every advantage of the law.
Judge Barnard, we believe. has granted writ
of error, but refuses to stay the proceedings.
If his decision is unchaleDged, John Real Will
be hanged tomorrow, and the "errors" in his
case will be discussed two or three months
from now. ThisScertainly is mockery OF JUS

They do this, because our present Hack-owners
and Hack-driyers vote the Democratic ticket,
and induce all they can infiuepce to do SO, Dy
virtue of tacit understanding THAT they snail
in return be authorized to fieece-nay, to skin
the public most atrociously. In consequence,
few people ride here, save in cars or their own
carriages, and not one dollar is paid for car

whenever we possibly cant spending but
dollar for conveyance where we would giadiy
nav ten if we could do so without feeling that
we we're abominably swindled. And our expe-

The day must come when it will be possible
to hire cab in this City for not more thap

New-York tribune., 1869-04-01

If we understand the objections interp0sed
to the granting of right of way to the Mem
phis. Fl Paso and Arizona Pacific Railroad,
they import that the Company will never
build the proposed road, but will only stand
in the way of others who wOuld do it. That
abuse can be easily guarded against by
amendment. Provide that, if they do nothing
of consequence within a reasonable time, they
shall forfeit all the rights conceded to them
by this act. But the bare prospect of getting
one Pacific Road without paying for it from
the Treasury and having private parties own
it, is so cheering that the public Will not
lightly surrender it. Let it have a fair trial.
and, if it prove failure, we can then give
charter to the Company that will build the
road for the smallest subsidy. But let the
promise of Pacific Road without subsidy
have the first chance.
We are assured that among the Directors
are some of our most substantial and worthy
citizens, who, if Congress permits, will devote
their energies and means to the prosecution
of this work. We urge that they have
chance.

We wish these results had been more clearly

regard the work of the Conference Committee
as model legislation, and we do not pretend
that the notifications of the Tenure Office
act, which all agreed in desiring, are therein
made in such form as we should have pre-
ferred. But we rejoice that the vital principle
of the bill has not been destroyed and we
heartily welcome the end of strife.

NEw-YoRK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY. APRIL I. 1863

Mr. Murphy for retailing calumnious accusa-
tion-his defense that he was testifyIng as
witness and therefore privileged, would be com
plete Suppose Gov. Feuton should prosecute
The Evening Post for republishng these san
ders-he would be met by the statute OF the
State which protects newspaper editors or pub
fishers from actions for publishing the proceed
ings had before Legislative Committees.
But this rumOr, slight and frivolous as IL
was, appears by the full report of the evidence
taken before the Committee, and elsewhere
printed, to have been fully exploded. Eoulu
swears that he never told Murphy any such
thing; that he never paid to Harris, OF any
body else, one dollar for Gov Fenton. FISK,
who was present at the interview between
Murphy and Gould, fully corroberates the eVi-
dence of Gould. Harris denies that he ever
received one dollar from Gould for FentOn,
and fatty contradicts the story so far as ne
was concerned and he also testifies to wnat Is
known to be true to those who were con-
yersant with the matter-that after hearing the
arguments pro and con, Gov. Fenton puDncly
declared his opinion that he ought to sign the
bill, and only postponed the signing until the
next day at the instance of the opponents Oh
the measure.
This last attack upon Senator Fenton Will
recoil upon it's authors, its aiders, and abettors'
Mr.. FentOn has been in public life more thah
fifteen years, and secured the confidence OF the
people of the State. The reputation which ne
has been building up for a lifetime will not be
destroyed by these malignant assaults. The
motive which prompts this warfare is also
apparent. The Post of last evening indiscreetly
reveals it, when it refers to the letter from
Washington stating THAT the influence OF Gov
Fenton with Gen. Grant and the Administration
was nearly destroyed by this exposure. Ihis
effort also will prove abortive, for there is no
man so preiudced or dull that he cannot easily
penetrate the motives of the actors in this mali
cions onslaught upon Mr.. Fenton, and the ridic-
ulous character of the charges themselves
