True To The Life.

Dom Piatt briefly, graphically and
truthfully traces the prominent features
of Radical rule since Jeffersonian De
mocracy in 1860 was made to give way
to Hamiltonian Federalism. He says
"A monstrous tariff was straightway
enacted; huge system as subsidies in
lands and bonds carried enlarged titles,
previously unknown to Republican
people such as admiral and general in
chief; new bureaus created the system
made respectable of comforting office
upon blood relations and connections,
and finally corruption and the despotism
of committees were demonstrated in
constant Investigations of abuses which,
almost IN every case, came home to con-
gress itself. How can the Republican
party call itself worthy of continuation
and support, when it is made up of tar
iff attorneys, iron-rollers, cadet brokers,
railroad directors, Carpet -baggers, and,
generally speaking, just that class OF
people who have no business to be in
trusted with the work of legislation by
sensitive and intelligent people p

"A Big Burial.

Wendell Phillips has just hurled a
dreadful anathema, which, without in
tending it, falls OH the heads Of many OF
the orators most devoted friends. In a
recent harrangue to the new voters he
said:
"Mothers, you may forget the name
Of your first born; children, you may
forget the multiplication table, but whilst
your race stands as it does to-day, moth
ers, never forget .he name of the man
in political life, who has either ignorant,

your race. Charge your sons and hus'

when the laws gives you the right tC
vote, 90 out also with firm determine,
ton, no matter what his party or name
may be, if he has once voted against
you, strike his name from American pol
itics, and bury it as completely as if he

WAR MADE EASY
The New PrOjectile or Torpedo
Invented by Captain EriCsSOna

q
Captain Ericsson announces in a COM
munication to The Army and Navy Jour-
nal that he has perfected system of
submarine attack by which he can de
stroy the largest iron-clad ever built
The great problem has not been to make
torpedo, but to place it under a ships
bottom. The resistance of the water is
so great that explosive projectiles have
always proved failures when designed
to strike below the water line, andjother
means of attaching the torpedo have
been found too cumbrous and uncertain
to be available Captain Ericsson is
confident that he has devised projec-.
tile which will answer the purpose. It
is an elongated she'll, charged with 800
pounds Of dynamite, and shot from a
15-inch gun at such an elevation as to
enter the water near the hostile vessel
and strike the hull anywhere below the
water line. II is fitted with percussion
cap, which explodes upon very slight
impact against the hull, so that the We
locity of the she'll when it reaches It's
destination need moi be high. The gun
is carried on swift armored boat, pro-
tected by turret Captain Ericsson in
tends to make formal offer to test this
invention. He is ready to fit out at his
own cost and risk fast screw vessel
with two fifteen-inch guns and torpedoes,
if somebody else will furnish the victim.
We trust he may be accommodated. In
the politest manner he makes specific
challenge to the British iron-clad Devas-
tation to come out and be sunk. As
this is one of the splendid first class

ACNulilal of McEarlaN d.

The jury in the MCFARLAND case have
acquitted him Of the murder of RIeu
ARpsoS, OIL the ground Of insanity. AT
least that was the pic. entered in his de-
tense; and is; therefore, technically the
!inaing of the Jury.
Bit the whole course of the trial, the
character of The evidence introduced, and
the speeches of his counsel abundantly
show that while keeping up the, appear
anrcof establishing insanity, bis attor-
ncys were bending all their tnefsics to
convince the jury that in killing Rlcu-
ARDsoS, MCFARLAND dld just what he
ought to have donr-that 1.-The serpent
tempted his Eve, and he slew the ser.
pent." --z,---.
To all intents and purposes, therefore,
the verdict of the jury, like SO many
Others In similar cases, is, that man
has the Fight TO kill the scGurer of his
wife. The rigid rules of the law will
not permit them to say this in plain
! words, and it is for this reason that the
fiction of insanity is resortcd to.
This verdict is right. We may pra'e
deprecatingly abont men taking the law
| into their own hands. and about seeking
in legal way, redress for. WRONGS but
there are wrongs for which laws can
furnish no compensation; wrongs which
only base and craven spirit win endure
wtlleat resentment. There Is an instinct
deeply seated in the human heart which
in spite of legal maxinis; proclains that
the hanl Which slays The. wife seducer
wields the sword of Justice.
The intensity to which this feeling may
be wrought is viviLlN Illustrated IN .he
scene which followed the acquittal o'
MCFARLAND. A reporter says.
"At three o'clock the jury retired
They reappcarel in court at ten minutes
to five. The silence oil death prevailed
rs they took their seats, and Mcfarland
turned pale as sheet The foreman
finally rose to answer the usual ques
| ton, and Mcfarland stoodnp to face tht
jury. He treinbled violently and clutch
ed the railing beside him as if for sup
port.
"Is the prisoner at the bar guilty OIL
not guilty {" came the question at last.
"NUT GUILrY!" was the answer.
The scene beggars description. The
whole audience jumped to their feet and
cheered as though determined to shake
the house to its foundation. Even the
court officers joined in the cheering
Men and women sprang over their seats
and struggled for the privilege of shak
ing Mcfarland by the hand. Ladies di
vided their attention between the liberia
ted man and his counsel, upon whom
they lavished their thanks.
Mcfarland was very mnch affected,
and little Percy, in his joy, jumped upon
chair, and waving his handkerchief, ,len'
his voice to the cheering"
1t may now be regarded as the. settled
practice, if not the law, in this country
that the libertinc stakes his life for his
lusts, and when he loses,public sentiment
says ''amen."

General @. O. Howard.

1t is far from pleasant to see "a man
whom we have long looked up to as dis

and piety,come tumbling down to a leve
with Aypocrites and swindlers.
We knew Gen. O. o. HOWARD as a de.
vout christian, with, apparently, an ex
ceedingly tender conscience, His relig
ions zeal was the only feeling which
could surpass his intense loyalty. Sc
public and conspicuous were his deyo
tional exercises that he became knowr
throughout the army 'as'"the Christian
Soldier" ja.
We sincerely trust that he may bt
able to explain away the testimony whicl
makes him appear to besa swindler. l

model of virtue become monster o
