IdtffeRcId.

The people Of North Carolina are given
to understand that the failure to arrest the
thief, Littlefield. and his delivery to the al
thorities Of this State, was owing to his
surrender by his bondsmen aud his arrest
and imprisonment in Florida on an indict-
ment for bribery. 1t tnrns ont that this is
a mere excuse framed by his Radical pro-
tectors.
The Tallahassee To1idioo, Of the 18th
instant, says;
Littleficd is not - juesed quite yet. AT
ter the scare created by the arrival of the
requisition from North Carolina was over,
he was bailcd from "the custody of the
Sheriff of Leon county, and has since
been at large.
The indictment found against him in
Leon Circuit Cour., which furnished TO
Governor Reed plausible excuse fer dis
regarding the North Carolina rcquisition,
is now really Of little or no consequence,
and ought not any longer to remain in The
way Of the States discharging clear duty
which she owes to sister jurisdiction.
Since the Indictment was found, the mate
rial witnesses in the case have died, and
there is now no possibility of proving the
charges against him. This being fact
known to tho prosecuting attorney of the
Circuit where the indictment was found, the
Judge ofthe Circuit ought to hold special
term ofhis court, if necessary, to dispose Of
the matter. The time for shielding such a
notorious swindler has passed. Our repute
as State is injured 10y the continuance of
judicial farce which is a rcproach to JUS
ticc and a disgrace to the government
Let there be an end Of fooling. The Nash
vile Union and America1, well sells {" If
there be an honest, bona tide intention try
Littlefield in Florida, on n charge Of crime,
why, let the case 20 on and the laws of the
State be vindicated. But if this Florida
prosecution is simply pretcxt for shield
ing a scoundrel from the punishment due

then is the whole proceeding most shame

guess better at one guess than the Chief
Justice of the State can rule aft r able ar
gument and mature reflection, aided by
King Leah and William Shakespeare
In his opinion, Chief Justice PEARSON
says the act Of the Legislature is Constitu-
tional "unless like King Leah the State
has divcsted Itself Of all Of the attributes
of sovereignty and divided the kingdom
among ungrateful children" We beg
leave 70 suggest TO the sage Of Richmond
Hill that his difficulty may have
originated .iust here for the reason
that the Federal Court was unable
to appreciate The value of King Lcah's case
i'll n Court Of Law, or the correctness of
VIM. Shakespeare as Reporter, If the North
Carolina Chief Justice, had stuck TO his
old fashioned and more apt illustrations, and
had declared in bis own familiar phrase
that when his Radical brethren attempted
to tax these Railroads, they had :, walked
up the wrong passenger, OF had got the
wrong SOW by the car,' he would have had
better luck. We respectfully suggest to
the Chief Justice that the next time he
attempts to overrule Judge WATTS, lie had
better let = fine writing alone. Alas

The Governor of Illinois.

Governor Palmer, after backing and I'LL
ing his sails, denOuncing the military inter
ference Of General Sheridan a. Chicago,
seeking the nomination Of the Labor Re
formers at Columbus, and voluntarily
profIering his support to Judge Tr1Imbull,
has at last turned another sOnersauit, and
is now abiectly seeking the fullest COM
munion with the "Regulars,' or office
holding, corruptionist, Grant party. 1t is
not proposed at the White House to kill
tie fattcd calf for the return Of this prodi-
gal son of Radicalism, but he is received
back into the family fold, and permitted to
pick up the few cru1nbst that may by chance
fall from the Executive table. .
A few weeks age, Governor Palmer was
pIOfessedly among the stcrnest Liberals.
He wrote letters, and encouraged detection
in every possible way. All this is known
and remembered ut the White House, and
however much he may be tolerated for
present cxpediencv, his rebri1e Of Sheri-
dan, and Indirectly, his censure of the
President, will not be pardOned. Every
man who has taken the least part in this
Liberal movement" is marked for future
prescription, and will be prosecuted with
all the power which the President may be
able to WELD. General Grant never for
gets. and never torgives. Personal indie
pendenee is virtue in public life, which
be cannot rise high enough to recognize,
and his resentment is intensified in proper
ton to the degree Of moral courage which
thwarts or iInpedes his ambitious aspira-
tons.
If Mr.. Sumner, Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Schurz,
Mr.. Trunbull, Mr.. FeDton, Mr. Upton,
and other leaders, were now to renounce
their opposition, and crayenly consent to
eat shumble pie" it would not change the
estimation in which their past ''treason" is
held. They have committed the one un-
pardonable sin, in daring to expose the cor
ruptions of this Administration. No atone
meat, however humble, no sacrifice of self.
respect, no abandonment of principle, nc
surrender of conviction, and 10 newborn
zeal of pretended conversion, would alter
or affect their relations with a President
who discards all sentiment, and rejects al
motives of duty as inconsistent with the
subservieney which he demands as the first
condition of personal loyalty.
The disafected Republicans must either
60 forward, and complete the good work
they have begun, or prepare to sink into
! insignificance among the camp-follOwers
! whom they have so justly denounced. This
! is the choice of alternatives. They are .
power under the standard of revolt, Fur
that flag, and they would subside into i'm
potency. Their srefOrm" " would become
a by-word, and in the dull chronology o1
political life, shame would darken the only
record of an ephenner4f existence e Wnsh-

Rapid Transit i'm Cities.

New Y York has been exercised for some
years over the old London problem how to
get down Town. The distance from the
upper portion Of the city to the business
section has become so considerable, that
the time occupied in the transit by the
street passenger railway or other ordinary
means of conveyance, takes serious slice
out Of the working day. The large scheme
of a viaduct railway projected last year
having fallen through, new plan, called
the depressed railway, has been brought
forward by the chief engineer Of the
New Haven Railroad. which is now
before the State Legislature for char
ter. The road is 10 run through
the blocks, the tracks to be below the sur
face Of the earth sufficiently to allow the
passage Of cars jcr the streets. The cut
is TO be fifty feet wide, so us to accommo-
date double tracks. There will be, at con-
venient distances, stairways, platforms aud
other accommodations for passengers. The
motive power, Of course, will be steam.-
The projectors say they can construct this
road for S250,000 mile, and that the right
Of way will cost SS,000,O00. The whole
cost of the railway in running order will be
somewhat more than SO 100000. The
Frening Post is assured that the capital is
ready TO begin the work as soon as the a,ir
thOlity can be obtained. ...,.s

A Hartford life insurance company has
recently been called upon 10 adjust loss
caused hy Tn" death Of Miss Eunice Whit
beck, Of Luzerno county, Pennsylvania, in
August 1870, in the 93J year of her age
The Couuant gives the following details of
the case " She was insured twenty five
years ago by Mr.. Ablam \. Oakley, of Co
lumbia county, y. y, for his own bene-
fit. Mr.. Oakley probably expected to re
alize handsomely after a few payments, but
the venerable spinster Of three score andten
didn't die, ami after some years, becoming
discouraged at tie constant drain upon his
resources, he assigned the policy TO one
Peter Conkiing. The latter bore the br,lnt
of annual Payments for seven years, and
gave il up as "A bad job, assigning the poll
cy 10 James Comkling, who was plucky to
the end, and paid regularly mp To the year
of his death, which occurred wlren Miss
Whitbeck vas ninety or hereabouts.-
Meanwhile the case had become famous in
the office, and No. 3.61J was looked up
on as veritable curiosity in life underwrit-
ing. After Alr. Conliling'S death his exc
cutors made the payments, and SO much
custom had It become that they made enc
payment after her death, which they did
not learn for several months, residing Sc
veral hundred miles away. This, ofcourse,
will be refunded. The executors will re-
ceive the amount Of the policy, $1,000,
which is about half the amount paid in
premiums by them and their predeces-
sors.' ..r .-.

From the Decatur (TlI) Magazine, March 2
burglar or blonde

On Tuesday evening, about dark,
bright-eyed girl Of Is, handsome and ap-
parently intelligent, stopped at one of our
second-class hotels. She told the land
lord that she had but little money, and
wished to stop with him few days. The
good natilred landlord told her that that
was all right-that he would hold her
trunk as security for all deficiency in his
regular charges for hiS board. Nothing
more was said until this morning, when
the girl informed him that she wished to
go to St. Louis, and asked him with tears
in her eyes for her trunk and the
loan of SO. This the landlord refused at
the time to comply with, but demand
ed about 81 due him on board. She
said that she had no money; that her trunk
contained valuables that she could not dis
pose of III Decatur, and promised him 3;
quick remittance as soon as she arrived in
st. Louis. Everything was arranged for
her departure-tle $40 furnished her; but,
as she was getting upon the st. Louis train,
an officer from Cairo, with documents i'm
his pocket, laid his hand upon her shoulder
and said, Y on are arrested-my prisoner"
Before she could make things satisfactory
to the officer, the train left the depot with
the young lady in charge of the lCairo Off
Ger. She was brought before one of the
justices ofthc peace-her trunk broken open
and contents examined. 1t was found
to contain lot of burglar tools, four
changes Of suits and masks, and about $500
in counterfeit money. Upon more fun
investigation and upon close examination
in private room, it was ascertained be-
yond doubt that the woman was man
and that, too, of a very respectable family
of Memphis, Tenn. He had so disguised
himself with false curls, chignon, paint,
&c, as rendered it almost impossible to tell
him from the feminine sex. He was hand
ed over to Marshal Wilson, of Cairo, and
will go hence to Memphis, where full IN
vestigation OF crimes preferred against him
will be made.

General LOngsfreef.

The Chicago Tribune learns that Presi-
dent Grant has decided to remove General
Longstreet from the Sluveyorship of the
Port of New Orleans, and it asserts
" If so, there can be but one reason for
the act, viz: That Longstreet is almost the
only honest officer of the lot--the only one
who enjoys the respect of the community.
