New Jersey Justice.

A great many jokes have been perpetrated
iat the expense of New Jersey, but the little
railroad State over the river can at least claim
the credit of treating her laws as something
more than mere waste paper. A murderer
who INDUCES in his propensity within her
borders is tolerably certain of making close
acquaintance with the sherifrs rope, and it
NOW appears that Jersey actually metes out to
official fraud the same justice she extends to
common offenders The HERALD was instrl-
mental several months ago in bringing to light
ahe rascality Of some Of the Jersey City officials
who had been practising the customary ''ring"
tactics in that corporation and plundering the
people in very barefaced manner. The
exposures made in our columns were
of course announced as ISLANDERS by
the suspected parties, and oil manner OF
Threats were resorted to in order to sup
press the information furnished by our
correspondents and reporters. But the cor
rupt acts were speedily brought home to the
guilty parties, and the result has been that one
of the leaders, occupying the position of Com
missioner of Public Works, has been sent to
The State Prison to do hard labor for nine
months in that reformatory institution.
4 The moral of this prompt trial and certain
punishment is one which it may be useful for
New York to remember hereafter There were
no politicians at work in the exposure of the
New Jersey frauds, and no Committee of
Seventy engaged in bringing the offenders to
Justice and in looking ont tor the vacant Offices
at one and the same time. A fearless Grand
Jury and an honest upright Judge, took the
work in hand, and the result is seen in the SEN
tence recorded on Saturday against one Of the
principal offenders.
