tie confession was genuine or only the Off
spring of Dunn's Imagination, quickened by
the information Of the detectives, is q ques-
tion open to dispute. We have nothing to do
with it. What we do most urgently condemn
is the custom, which is growing common, of
admitting suchtestimony as this or any confes-
sion of prisoner sworn to by interested par
ties. Witnesses are to be judged by the rules of
common sense, and, unfortunately, are not in
accessible to bribes. A man who makes his
trade of crime, with pardon held up before
his eyes as the price of another crime, is
hardly competent witness on which to hang
t @ life of another man. That perjury was
likely to cost this Dunn no uncomfortable
twinges of conscience was proved by his un-
advisedly swearing in direct contradiction to
the police officers who produced him.
1t is bad enough that so-called Justice holds
mems lives in her hands, but at least let her
public barter of them for blood-money and
pardons be stopped, and that at once.

to the New York type of liberal, progressive
Democracy. We are profoundly convinced
that the actual choice, in the next Presiden-
tial election, lies between the two. In poll
tics, as in war it is wise to flank position
that cannot be carried in front. We have
had too many battles after the pattern of
Burnside's attacks on Fredericksburg. The
Democracy of New York, having repeatedly
shown that they know hop TO manage party
and win victories at home, where their views
are not overruled and have free play, feel
entitled to the confidence, aud ask for the
indulgent judgment, of their patriotic Demo-
cratic brethreH in other States. If the New
York Democracy had not been overruled we
should certainly have carried the Presidential
election in 1860, and probably in 1864 and
1868. If the party elsewhere will adopt our
tactics, and weigh our advice, we have no
doubt that, with exertion enough, we can
succeed in 1872. These words of soberness
are inspired by no other motive than unwil-
lingness to see another great opportunity
flung away. Even in the flush of victory we
are saddened by the thought that New York
is still Democratic Goshen in an outlying
Egypt of Black Republican ascendancy.l

THE MORAL OF IT.

From the NJ Y. Tribune.
There are Republicans enough in this State
for one successful party, but not enough for
two. Such is, in short meter. the explana-
tion of our last defeat
Two years ago, we all went to the polls and
voted, rolling up q larger aggregate of legal
votes for Grant and Colfax than any other
party ever polled in this or any other State.
Then we were overwhelmed by our adversa-
ries gigantic, systematic frauds, now we are
beaten by our own feuds and the apathy
thence resulting We were cheated some,
but not nearly enough to determine the re-
suit. Nearly one hundred thousand Republi-
cans, seeing that their leaders were more
hostile to each other than to the common ad-
yersary, stayed at home and let the election
go as it might.
This should not and need not have been.
There is no question of principle which seri-
ously divides and weakens the Republican
party. We are distracted mainly by our de-
votion to certain men and our antipathy to
others. And, so long as this shall be the
case, we must be beaten We are beaten in
1870 as Silas Wright was beaten for Governor
in 1916, and as the Democratic party was
beaten by its 'Hard" and Soft" factions in
1876
1t were idle to trace the genealogy of the
feud which has divided us into what are of
late designated ''Fenton" aud "Conkling"

more mind in their work. The Grades"
are really an aristocracy, trying to keep the
'Serfs" under. For it is plain to the meanest
capacity that the mechanic, being consumer
as well ss producer, can have no chance of
his well-peing, unless he makes the agricul-
tural laborer work at low wages. His real
fight is, not with the capitalist, but with his
brother laborers. II the wages of the farm
hand, the mechanic, and the operative of the
mandatory were equally raised, nobody
would be benefited. AS consumer, the
skilled mechanic would have to pay increased
prices for all he consumed, and his increased
wages would therefore not add cent to the
purchasing power of his labor. He, as a la
of some other laborer Therefore he bases
his ''rights" on essential Injustice.

ALTHOUGH the following dispatch is dated
at Omaha, in Nebraska, the murder trial to
which it refers took place at Laramie city,
in Wyoming Territory, where ''woman's
rights" have been recognized in all the alb
surdity of their length and breadth. From
later dispatch we learn that on the 14th
the jury returned verdict of manslaughter
against the defendant.
OMAHA, March l2.-The Howie murder case
is still pending. The jury cannot agree and
have been ordered to be locked up until nine
o'clock in the morning. at which time the
Court will meet. The jury were allowed their
dinners aud suppers- The women look pale
and fatigued, this being the fourth night Of
their confinement.
This is what might very appropriately be
called case Of PrOtrGcted legal CESSATION.
It ought not to create any surprise that the
women who played he part of jurors. looked
"pale and fatigued," and on that account
these heroic disciples of Susan B. Anthony
deserve tie profound sympathy Of their
country women in their prolonged and un-
natural confinement" If these strong
minded women of Wyoming, after their un-
paralleled legal travails in the jury room,
are not only heartily sick but perfectly dis
gusted with their experience of their first
encroachment on the legitimate duties of the

LOYALTY,

When Madame Roland was on her way
from her prison to the guillotine during the
French revolution, she looked up at the
statue of Liberty and exclaimed. "Oh! lib
erty, what crimes are committed in thy
name" So ia our own country, both dur
ing the rebellion and since its suppression,
all the flagrant infractiops cf the constitution,
as well as all the gross usurpations of power
by the radical party, have been perpetrated
in the name of loyalty. 1t has been and is
still used by the radical leaders, as cloak
to cover up all manner of outrages and as
an excuse or apology for all their wanton
and tyrannical legislation. During the war,
il man was to be arrested and ruthlessly
thrown iEto radical Bastile, for calling in
question the wisdom or policy of the admin
iStration, it was done in the name of loyal
and its editor imprisoned for being too out
spoken, it was in the interest of loyalty to
do so. Seward sounded his "little bell" in
the name of loyalty and the prison door
closed upon his hapless victim. The recc n
struction measures have all been based upon
the absurd theory of affording protection to
southern loyaists or negroes. when it is a
notorious fact that they gave all their time
and labor in aiding and Strengthening the
Southern cause. The government of most
of the Southern States is now under the con-
troll of ignorant and uneducated blacks, to
the exclusion Of intelligent and well educa-
ted white men. because. in the stereotyped

expressed the Pious wish that Rutan's cele-
brated "Nunnery" and Cathedral" bill
should be made a party issue, thereby insuI-

are, as matter of course, false and mad
mssable. Has he never heard of the writ
of hGbeas corpus. that great bulwark of per-
sonal liberty, and which is always effective
for the redress of precisely such wrongs as
his distempered brain has conjured up be-
fore it. In order that the name Of this
Pennsylvania Nunrery reformer, may not
pass from amongst men, unwept, unhonored
and unsuug, we suggest that, if Rutan's bill
is ever dignifed with bearing by the State
Senate, some member of that body will pro
pose an amendment, relieving the judges of
the several Courts from the duty of visiting
.'Nunneres" and "Cathedrals," and invest

Radical with exclusive power to execute the
dirty work throughout the entire State

THE new liquor law passed the lower
branch Of the legislature last Wednesday.
The telegraphic report of its passage refers
20 It "a allowing The people of each county.
city or township to decide the question Of
license or no license. by vote of the people.
This is manifestly au error, and we presume
that under the bill the question is to be set
led by each county for itself. The vote stood
sc yeas to 81 nays. a bill has also passed
the same body authorizing the Governor to
appoint two additional Judges of the Su-
prtme Court, whose places shall be supplied
by election next October.
P. S. Since the above was put in type,
we have read the liquor bill as it passed the
House. 1t submits the licen'e question to
a vote of the people Of a city. borough or
toSsnship.
