The Height of Impudence.
Hon. II. w. Harrington:
HOUSE OF REPRESEN FATIVES,
Aprtt 26 1870


Aprtl 26. 1870.
Hon. II. w. Harrington:
My DEAR SIR hope you will move In
Madison To have terms OF Feueral Courts
eld in that city Instead of New Albauy.
The bill prov ding for such terms at New
AlbaIy and Evansville has passed the
House, bat thtr k If the Proper represent
substitutes NJ adtson for New Albany and
we can readily cor cur In the House,
have also written TO Judge Walker. L
hope you will move In this matter.
Yours truly, VIM. HOLMAN
We extract the above from a Madi
son paper. The editorial notice of
the same Sc forth that proper rep
reservations" have been made. IL
this is not the height oil impudence,
we know not what further altitude
has ever been attained by mortals.
We would think the Madison folks
were Just poking fun, but for the fact
that the editor gravely talks about the
matter, showing that he Is in dead
earnest. What IN the name of com
mon sense Madison wishes to have
terms of the Federal Courts held
there for we cannot imagine, unless it
be merely to rent some of their va
cant houses. It might give
the hotels a little employment
as they would have the pat
ronage of fifteen or twenty of
our New Albany lawyers and their
clients every term. But the idea of
holding court there to accommodate
the cases1that might come before the
Judges from the city of Madisoa is
most supremely ridiculous. W hy there
is not enough Of Madison altogether
to make an interesting case. She is
finished thoroughly CON Plated walled
in, white washed, and laid away.
About the only occupation of her
people is the selling of cid relics OF
former years, to one another. Their
ship Yards have dwindled down to
nothing. The remnent Of hourishIng
foundries are hawked about at auction,
| Her pork houses have tumbled down
All permanent business is at an end
| and the people who stay there, are oil
| that class who cannot get away, OF
! would feel strange In an enterprlsiOg
city. Ii the people Of Madison have
nloUed IN this matter, it is the hrst
time. they have moved in ANYTHING fol
l years m Il. LedgtT
The secret of the whole matter is
William S. Holman is coDtempti
bic demagogue, and thought be dis
covered in this bill an opportunity t
make few votes in Madison by com
binipg the bill with impraeticabl
amendments. He had no idea of Sc
curing his amendment, but woul'
oheerfully strike down the interest
of any city outside bis District, il
order to humbug a few voters.

The Courier very dogmatically as
serted that the verdict Of not guilty,
in the case Of Mcfarland, at New
York, commands the approval of all
good men" The New Albany I edger
takes different view of the subject.
1t says:
We are greatly surprised that any
one shall calmly, and deliberately ap-
prove the verdict that has set the
prisoner free in this case, for such APP
proval involves directly the sanction
of principles subversive of law and
order, and direct license for private
revenge. To approve the course of
Mcfarland is to approve the action of
the mob that takes out an offender
and hangs him without judge or jury
1t is to make every man the judge of
his own injuries, and bid him, while
smarting under his lacerated feel
ings, to then and there decide as
judge upon the facts of his dis
honor, and become the executioner
that shall avenge the crime that has
been committed against him. This
is contrary to all the principles of ju
risprudenee as practieed In civilized
nations Butamong the statute laws
of no nation under the sun do We find
that death shall be the penalty for Sc
duction in its most aggravated forms.
No legislator would dare to vote for
placing such a law upon the statute
books. No jury would brig in a yer
diet of death against any man for the
seduction of another's wife. Why
then is it that this depraved public
sentiment obtains that gives license
to ignore all law, aud invest one man
with power to slay and kill without
let or hindranee, it is difficult to con.
ceive. That this depraved sentiment
is stronger than law is seen in the
fact that no judge is strong enough in
nerve to set aside such verdicts as
that which sends forth Mcfarland

/. FIT. SooTT, KANSAS, May 13.-An
account of one of the most diabolical
affairs ever recorded is published in
to days Monitor. On Tuesday, six
men, either Texans or struggling out
laws from Indian Territory. came to
the town of Ladore, few miles south
of here. After drinking all day they
went to the boarding house OF j N.
Roach, and asked TO stay all night.
Being refused on account of their
drunken condition, one of the party
knocked Roach insensible with a
revolver. They then went to a bed
occupied by two daughters Of Roach,
aged twelve and fourteen years, and
ravisbed them daring the entire
night, using a knife TO accomplish
their purpose.
Roach revived after a time but feared
to stir, knowing he would be killed
if he did so. He describes the cries
and entreaties of the girls as heart
rendiDg A quarrel arose among the
demons, aud one was shot dead while
Ia the act Of satisfying -his-lust. At
daybreak the party fled, one taking
with him TO the woods the youngest
girl The town was immediately
reused, and parties started In every
direction in search Of the fends. The
one with the girl was soon overtaken
and hung to tree. Two others were
found secreted in town, and were
hung on the same tree.
The remaining three were also cap
tured. Two Of them were hung. The
other one. at last accounts. was in
custody Of the citizens, but will prob
ably share the fate of nis companions.
The universal verdict here is that, in
this instance, at least the summary
manner of iDfiicting punishment was
entirely justified.
