A Iliaeredifable Pardon.

Tho New York Sun ofTucsday last,
says President Grant has finally par
donod Bowen, the bigamist. With sin.
gular propriety the pardon was coun.
tcrsigncd by Bancroft Davis, the bribe.
taker, as Acting Secretary Of State.
After this there is no reason why any
convicted criminal should not be par.
doncd. No matter how black their
crimes or how clear the evidence Of
their guilt, President Grant can con.
sistcntly discharge them all. Bowen
is scoundrel Of extraordinary iniamy.
When Confederate soldier he muir
dered his superior officer, and after
ward went over to the Union side
In obtaining his sham divorce he
fraudulentIy altered, with tho skill OF
q countcrfeiter, the records Of the
Supreme Court in this city. His con.
viction for bigamy was upon the clear
est evidence aud if the law against
that crime is ever to be enforced, il
should be done in his case.
But with n present.taker for Pres
ident, and n bribe.taker for Secre,
tary Of State, the pardon Of a bigamist
is something which should not sur
prise any one.
? The Sun certainly shines very
brightly and truthiully.

MoRE TRouBLE THAN PRoPrT,-The
act introducing the cumulative voting
or ''freo vote" in boroughs, as passed
by the Legislature, was signed by the
Goverpor on the I'd ult. II appears
TO apply only to the boroughs incor-
porated under the general borough law
or 10 boroughs hereafter to be incor-
porated under said act and not to
boroughs having special charters
All boroughs (under the general bor-
ough law having five councilmen are
hereafter to have six, so that this new
voting system can go into effect. 1t
is likely to prove troublesome in hold
ing elections, and we doubt whether
IL will ever do much good. f..

The PATENT AIR BRAKE.-The new
air brake is beinggonerally introduced
throughout tho country, with the
most satisfactory result 1t has been
in use on the Pennsylvania railrod for
some time past, and has lately beon
applied TO passenger trains on the
Northern Central railway. The New
York Sun in recent issue, thus refers
to this brake: -H aa.
"The new air.brake which is cxcit-
ing SO much attention among railroad
men was invented in Pittsburg 1t is
automatic and self adjusting, but is
directed by machinery on the engine
The machinery consists ofan air.pump
and receiver which are worked by the
movement of hand lever at tho fire
box. Pipes connect the brakes Of
tho entire train, and through these,
by the movement Of the lever on the
engine, the air is made TO act upon
each wheel instantly. The expense
of this apparatus is $500 for the engine,
s26 for the tender, and 500 for each
car.

Ia which Mr.. Hall discharged his duty
as our representative. Happily those
differences no more exist. Thc Dem,

when we say that in Mr.. Hall we
were represented by one whose ability
and integrity gave us just reason to
bc proud of our member, we but OK.
press the unanimous judgment Of his
entire constituency, Republicans as
we'll as Democrats. Indeed with
Wallace in tho Senate and Hall in the
House, no district had a moro com.
manding position than our own. M.
1t was Mr.. Halls fortune to con-
noct his name with two enterprises
which bid fair to remain enduring

The RIGHT DEFINITION. The edi.
tor of the New York Times, the spe-
cial champion Of the Orange Society
of that city, says;
The "orange Institution Of the United States
defines itself MS "loyal," Is II not the fact that
It's constitution defines this loyalty as being con-
fined to the Royal Family Of Great Britain, aud
that tho members Of the Association are therefore
bound by tie which precludes their transiorna-
ton into American eitizonsy
Radicalism wears the Same clothes
and apes and clamors about LOYALTY
as flippantly as the Royal bloods OF
Europe. Loyalty is term foreign
and offensive in Republic, and should
never be used in this country.

FEEL GooD.--While tho Radical
journals are so full of compliments to-
wards President Grant for the admi-
rable way in which he has managed
our foreign relations, they have moth
ing to say in praise of the excellent
way he has managed his homo rela.
tions. They have all been looked
after and cared for in detail. The
Presidents only regret is that he has
not more relations to manage. He is
amply equal to the task. 1t is an
cdifying sight to see man take the
good the gods provide, aud keep it re-
lgiously in the family.

was insured for $4,000. There is
great excitement in Baltimore, and in.
deed in good portion of the country,
over her arrest on so terrible charge.
Many persons believe her innocent,
but tho majority seem to think she il
guilty. She is described as being u
tall, slender woman, of nervous tenn
permanent and health far from robust.
Although sprightly in her conversa-
tion, she has melancholy expression
circumference and large, dreamy eyes
that appear 10 look inward, Her
maiden name was Elizabeth G.. Nugent
and her family is among the wealth.,
est and most influential in Philadel.
phia. She has q brother who is oOc
of the leading physicians Of Pittston,
Pa. AS member of Sc. Luke's Prp.
testant Episcopal church she was 10
garded among the most pious wom,n
of Baltimore.
