Elliger. who boarded at the New Britain House,
on Wallace street. was accosted on the side
walk in front of the house by man named
George McNeeny. The latter asked Elliger for
pipe. and he handed him one, when McVeeny
knocked him partially down, and then stabbed
him twice. nficting two chastly and dangerous
wounds in the abdomen and right side.
Elliger rushed into the house, calling for help,
and comrade named Louis Bensch ran to his
assistance when McVeeny stabbed him also,
cutting his heart in twain. and causing almost

The Bel Air and Edgewooi Railroad.

Our readers will notice a call for meeting
of the friends of this enterprise, to be held at
Bel Air, on Tuesday, 23d inst. We have not
thought it worth while to enter into any ex-
tended remarks, at this time as to the advan-
tages of this road, as we have heretofore call
ed attention to the subject; but we would
take occasion to say that this road will not
necessarily be adverse to the interests of the
Maryland Central road, and we are inclined
to the opinion would rather tend to advance
than retard the construction of that work.
That the Edgewood road will be paying
one from the very start, we see no reason to
doubt. That it will immensely enhance the
value of the property in the neighborhood of
this place and along the line of its route, is
almost certain; and further, that it will con-
Hartford county we think is equally certain.
1t will afford market facilities to the people
of a large section of the county lying west
and north of us, and will attract trade and
diffuse enterprise among our own people.
Now, Us to the means to be adopted to Sc
cure for ourselves this desirable work, we
must, of course, leave the details to be adopt
ed by the meeting that is TO convene on the
ed inst. But of one thing our citizens may
be assured, and that'is, that it will be neces-
sary for everybody to make up their minds
at once TO be in earnest about the work, and
not wait to see if the road cannot be built
without their subscription, even though it
may be comparatively small one. 1t need
not consume weeks time to ascertain what
can be raised, and we suggest that the sooner
this is done the better, and let every one be
prepared to say what he will give. And
above all, do not let US fritter away the very
life off the enterprise in multitude of I'M
fruitful meetings, but let what meetings are
called be well attended, and prompt measures
adopted. 1t requires money to build rail-
road, and no amount Of mere talk and specu-
lation will ever accomplish it. What we
want now is simply, in sailor phrase, "a long
pull, strong pull, and pull altogether"
and the road will be built.

LYNCH LAW.

In his charge to the Grand Jury, on Mon
day last, his Honor, Judge Grason, took &C.
casion TO refer to the frequent application of
lynch law in this county, during the period
of the last several years. The circumstances
which prompted these summary infections
ofpunshment upon the parties who suffered
in the cases alluded to, were such us to carry
the weight of public opinion in regard 10 the
actors in these proceedings to this extent, at
at least-that if mob violence could be justi
fled at all, it was justifable in these particu-
lar instances. But the question recurs-is
mob violence justifable in any instance?
We are constrained to the opinion that
it is not. The courts, as his Honor re-
marked, are open for the administration of
: the laws, and their Infringement will be
punished by these, the proper and only legal
tribunals for the administration of justice.
But it may he said, that the swift punish
ment melted out for such heinous offences
WILL more than anything else, deter others
from the commission of like crimes We
very much doubt this. Where the proof is
ClcdI-dHu ~ suoultl NC ClcuT anu UeSOIu Ill
shadow of doubt, to serve as an apology for
lynching-it were better to let the law take
its course, and it will be seen that the exam
pie Of u legal execution will prove to be a
more salutary warning than lynch law, to
offenders in like cases. 1t is the certain
ty of punishment, and not the mode of its in
Fiction, that deters from crime The most
that can be said in justification of the cases of
mob violence that have occurred in this
county, is, that there was no doubt of the
guilt of the parties to whom it was applied
and that the offences for which these parties
suffered were of the most heinous descrip-
ton. But the too-frequent occurrence of
these scenes of violence towards the worst
of criminals, will go far to demoralize the
community in which We live and its ap-
plication TO an innocent party would entail
stigma ofdisgrace upon the "fair fame" of
our county, from which she would never re-
cover. We hope and believe that the tide of
public opinion is adverse to a repetition, in
any case, of these scenes of mob violence.

Death Of George Peabody.

The death of this great benefaetor of his
race occurred in London on Thursday night
of last week, the 4th inst The cause of his
death was congestion OF the lungs. n. ! c.:
body spent last summer, or large portion
of it, at one of the Virginia Springs, in order
to recruit his delicate health, and supposed
that he was much bepefitted thereby. He
chose, during his life, to do good with the
immense wealth he had acquired, and to see
for himself that the proper application was
made of his bounty. 1t is estimated that he
has given away, for charitable purposes, the
enormous sum of ten millions of dollars.
Many distinguished marks of respect have
been shown to his memory, both in this coun-
try and England, on the news of the sad
event of his death. The State of Maryland
has trusted to him more than once to advance
her interests abroad, which he always sue
cessfully accomplished. His popularity in
England, on account of his munifcent char
tiles, is not less than in this country, and the
Queen has herself thanked him for his inter.
est in the poor of her kingdom. Mr. Pea
body. at the time of his death, had attained to
an advanced age.

THE NEXT SPEAKER.

MEssRs. EDITORS: Perceiving that the
question of who shall be Speaker of the next
House of Delegates is being discussed by the
Democratic press of the State, and the names
of several prominent and deserving gentle
men having been presented for public con
sideration, it affords the writer of this much
pleasure to add to those already mentioned
that of General F. G. Latrobe, of Baltimore
city.
In recommending Gen. Latrobe for this
distinguished position, it is with an assured
knowledge, based upon personal observation
of his peculiar fitness for it. Experience has
made him intimate with all the forms and
technicalities of parliamentary law, and
his integrity and urbanity afford a sufficient
guarantee that the duties of the place will be
discharged with both that impartiality and
proper regard for the individual sentiments
of its members, which is SO necessary in the
presiding officer Of q deliberatiye body.
