Mcfarland Acquitted.

After Q tedious trial. the jury in the
McFsrlsad case spseiily rs-tnrned
verd ct of "Not Guilty." Tbisis . tri-
umph of justice over lsw. and . yer
dict that public opinion had given long
ago. The jury. not exactly in words.
but 10 effect. also gave Q verdict tast Me-
Fsrlsnd was not only not guilty. but
that be had done right; that Richardson
was . libsrtine. his wife On adultress.
Mrs. Calhoun . procursss. and Bsecber.
TiIton. rockingham. and the balance Of
that set who took ap setivs part in the
affair, were . nest OF fres-lovsrs.
The only error committed BY Meier
lands counsel was. in setting mp the plea
Of insanity. Had they gene before the
Jury upon the 'quars defence thst be did
right. and could not hsvs done otherwise
and preserved his manhood. ws believe
that the jary would just Is promptly have
returned Q verdict Of "Justifi able Homi-
eide"
The papers are preaching long sermons
about the alarming disregard of human
life. and the murder Of men BY jralous
Husbands. II they would moralizs upon
the alarming disregard Of the most sacred
rights of others that prevails throughout
the land. they would strike the cause ol
many Of the murders. There are causes
which jnstify one man in killing another.
besides self-defence, for there are things
more sacred thsn life; and for one Of thess
causes Mcfarland killed Richardson. Al
offence Of that kind is one that the Law
will not meet. and Mcfarland had no re
dress in that direction. Had be gone TO-
to the courts with it, he wonli have beer
secuted and hooted st throughout th'
length and breadth Of tho land; for th,
leading newspaper men we're Richardson
apologists and defenders. and have lef
nothing undone to prejudice the cas-
against Mcfarland. These are the mel
that have been contendiug that McFar
lands crime was as clear q case of delib
crate murder ss if he had cut q man
throat for bis money. The verdict Of tb
jury is the correct reply TO this species O
argument.
1t is true that murder and other crime
are alarmingly prevalent in the land
But Richardson's crime is a thousan,
times more prevalent than McFsrlsnd's
and is one which is deliberate and unpro
voked. II the press and pulpit woul,
make their fight against Richardson
crime instead Of upholding and indulginl
in it. they might have fever csses 0
McFsrlsnd's crime to lament over.

The DnIFT.-It would be blessed thing
for Kansas. il she had another and better
man in Congress than Sidney Clarke.
She has sbler and more honest men, and
might elect them If her people were not
chiefly the isult Of having so many ras-
Gals in public Office. We predicted. some
time ago, that Clarke would be re.elec-
ted, and also stand good show for the
Senate, because there were host of poll
tical shys,ers. bankrupta. or nothings.
who would want the place. and would
quarrel and divide up among themselves.
giving him an easy victory. The signs
that this will come to pass are increasing
every day.
Objectionable ss Clarke is. there are
plenty of worse men in the State; and
unless We can get better and sblsr man,
there is no use in making . change.
We do not want held np for our ad-
miration and support, . man who has
betrayed the party on every occasion that
has offered in the last two years. Clarke
has been true to the party. il nothing else.
We do not want one who is as dishon-
est as Clarke can possibly be; who is the
lowest type Of political dsmsgogus: who.
in lost and dsbauchery. can discount
Clarke seventy-6vs in the game and best
him; and whose moral character is so
rotten. that the very sight Of him would
make virtuous COW hide herself.
We do not want man who hss never
in his life been guilty Of expressing an
original idea OF spinios. and who is no
more ct for Congrsssmsn than big bull
frog is to BE- Archbishop Of Canterbury.
II the honest. talented. respectable men
Of the State are to Be kept in the back
ground, and the scramble to be among
the rascals and shystsrs. We may as we'll
keep Clarke. We know his bad points,
snd may not be able to get smother man
who would suit us % we'll.
