Dear TreeDIdn-AS th-re is lust now a

items shall have to fall back on that
stereCtyped subject, the weather, which al
ways affords theme for comment. Last
week was cold, the Earth was covered with
snow, and there was every indication that
winter had commenced in reality, but to-day
the AIR is balmy and spring like, and almost

AN AFFECTING SCENE.

young son of the doomed man, Thom-
as by name, and Michael Conner, son OF
Bridget Conner, Moore's second wife, were
iii this place on Tuesday. The former is
bright, intelligent, manly looking little
boy of about years, well formed and well
clad, and bears no resemblance whatever
to his wretched father; the latter is prom
ising well hammered young man of about
20 years. They both visited Moore in his
cell, and the latter, as may well be concei-
we'd, was greatly affected on beholding his
child, and as he fondled and caressed him

MICHAEL MOORE

in hight, broad shOuldered, full chested,
and with muscles like whip-cOrd. His
head, which was surmounted by an abun-
dance of coarse, sandy hair, somewhat
tinged with gray, was of the shape of bull
let and his neck was the neck of an OK
He was in outward semblance most un-
prepossessing man, and his appearance
physically, as was made manifest on his
trial, by no means belied his general char
acter and disposition. Through nine long,
weary months of confinement his spirit was
broken and subdued at last, however, and
although we are fee to say that the world
is better without him as the world knew
him, we have the assurance of his spiritual
director Father Christy, who should have
known him as no other living man knew
him, that his repentance was sincere ana
heartfelt, his prayers, notifications ana
fastings devout, earnest, long continued
and The most humiliating of which fallen
humanity is capable and now that he has
paid the penalty of outraged law and has
seen called to appear before the Judgment
seat of a Just but merciful God, we feel
sure that even those who do not believe
that the prayers of the living can do aught
to oameliorate the condition of the dead, will
form in their own minds if they do not ex-
press the hope that true contrition has OBJ
liberated the fearful record of most SINFUL
life and that divine mercy has been inter
posed in behalf of the immortal soul OF the
unfortunate Michael Moore.
The Cambria freeman. [volume] (Ebensburg, Pa.) 1867-1938, 1872-11-29

And thus has ended the earthly career
of Michael Moore, who lived III defiance
of God S law, but died Il deeply repentant
sinner That he has found mercy on high
is The hope if not the prayer Of every feel,
ing heart. May his sinful career and sad
fate prove a warning to those who are now
pursuing the path, that leads to dishon-
Orcd grave and an eternity of woe.

THE JACKSON & SHARP RAILwAY-sIDING
CASE

The jackson Il Sharp Company have been
granted an appeal from tho decision of Chan
cellor Bates, to the Court of Errors and Appeals,
which will sit, at Dover on the first Tuesday Of
June. The judges of the Superior Court of the
State will hear the appeal, the Chancellor, hav-
ing delivered the opinion below not sitting.
The case is perhaps, being not finally decided,
hardly proper subject for public discussion,y yet
we must remark on two points First, the opin-
ion Of the Chancellor seems admirably clear,
strong, and conclusive. 1t sounds like Lato-
the legal essence, undiluted side by issues, or
mere notions and opinions of right and wrong.
But in the second place, it is apparent that
the position occupied by the Jackson It Sharp
Company is one which claims the attention OF
the public, and especially Of those concerned in,
or dependent upon, such large manufacturing
establishments as imperatively require locf-
ton on railroad, and side-track connection
with it, in order to conduct their business If
this siding may be taken from them at any mo-
ment, by the Railroad Company or rather by it's
executive officers, they are always in danger of
being ruined. There are plenty Of establish
ments in this and other cities, whose business
would be actually destroyed, and blown to the
four winds, if, for any cause, upon any within Oh
caprice, for private spite, or for some pecuniary
motive, the Railroad officials should remove
their side tracks,
1t may be said that the interest Of the Railroad
which desires trade, would prevent its thus des.
troying one Of its sources of trade. But great
railroad has many such, and could sacrifice one
or even several il the motive to do SO wert
strong, without seriously Gripping itself, while
the injury done to the other parties might b,
absolutely fatal. The Railroads selfshness
though it might be some protection, is no certain
guaranty or safety to them

Commission, and to insist upon their presonta-
ton at Geneva What he wanted was treaty,
a full explicit, thorough treaty, embracing every
point at issue that would have put an end for
ever to every existing difference between Eng
land and the United States Could he have done
this without advancing these claims Could he
have run the risk of allowing them OF any part
Of them TO remain unsettled, or ignored or post
ponod, or forgotten Would he have boon deal-
ing frankly to have omitted them He did not
create the claims. nor could he destroy them.
Could he have made an imperfect treaty, gnor-
ing our demand for consequential damages, OF
permitting them to lie dormant until another
race OF politicians might for sellsh purposes
take them from their obsculity, give them new
life and advance them az tho cause OF future
grievance with England Might not English
statesmen OF another generation, under such cir
cumstances- they are far from being impos-
siblo-justly say that Mr. Fish had deceived the
English government by making treaty which
was only the pretence OF treaty As we have
said, these claims have existed they were

Leonard Myers presented the petition of two
thousand business men for government build

The diplomatic appropriation bill was consd-
cred. Mr.. Voorhees, opposed it because it
contained an appropriation for Consul at Ha-
vana. He spoke OF Spain as brutal and bloody
power she had seized eight American vessels
and shot some Of their crews. Why should the
United States concede the right to Spain to in
suit the American flag and be afraid to recognize
Cubans as billigerents.

coUNcILMEN AND CITY CONTRACTS

The people have been patiently waiting several
weeks for the City Council to pass the ordinance
forbidding members Of that body being con-
tractors for city work. Such an ordinance has
been pending for two or three months, and for
some unexplained reason, has not yet been
passed. This delay is damaging to the reputa-
ton Of the Council, chosen, as it was, upon the
platform Of Reform, and it must be that some
of the members fail to comprehend the relation
they bear to the public interests, or there would
be not weeks delay in enacting go wholesome
and fit measure.
1t will be remembered that the Tammany
Council, which for about seven months Of last
year held control of the CITY, was smirched with
just this very-scandal namely, that one OF its
leading members, elected to guard and protect
the city's interests, was, at the same time CON
tractor for we know not how many jobs of city
work, thus bringing his interests as an individual
in direct and dangerous conflict with his duties as
Councilman. In the election of September, the
people emphaticaly condemned such practices
and they look for better things from the gentle
men who are now in charge. We trust that theil
expectations will not be be disappointed
In fact, the very delay and apparent reluctance
t)pass this ordinance are bad, and have suspi-
cious look. Those who observe this hesitation say
there must be some reason for it, and charges
are made that it is because City Councilmen find
their profit in being City Contractors. This is
an ugly charge, and we trust totally unfounded
and nothing will so quickly and completely
demonstrate its falsity as the prompt passage Of
an ordinance making it unlawful for the asserted
practice to have any existence, whatever. In this
manner, the Council will prove that there is no
concealed motive for delay in adopting such a
measure of public protection.

FRANCE RIPE FOR REVOLUTION.
[From the y. Y. Herald.l

lfTom the \. l. Herald.l
That the present state of things cannot much
longer last 10 evident from many unmistakabe
signs. The Count de Chambord, encouraged to
believe that the French people are really impa-
tlent for his return to the throne of his ances-
tors, leaves his retreat. finds his way to Antwerp
and there from the hands of a certain Count
Monte, receives document or manifesto sipned
by some two hundred and fifty six members of the
Assembly, but we have no hope of therestoration
of the heir of st. Louis. We baye the Orleans
Princes in the Assembly; but we have no good
reason to take it for granted that the throne of
France VIII on an early day be filled by descen-
dant of Philippe dEgalte. We have the Bona
partsts intriguing in high places and in low
but the French army, it would seem, begins to
he OF opinion that energy is as much wanting ON
the part Of the Bonapartes as on the part of
either branch Of the Bourbons. We have re-
public de Jdct0, but what with wranglings in the
Assembly, with tho ever-recurring executions of
Communists, with laws against the press ever in
creasing in number and severity and with most
unmistakable absence Of progress in the right
direction, 1t is most difficult to predict when we
shall have republic de jure.
ENGLAND NOT IGNORANT OF OUR CLAIM FOR IN
DIRECT DAMAGES
from the II. Y. Herald
When the Joint High Commissioners iii the
progress Of the discussions, came to the Alaba-
ma claims, or, as the treaty expresses it, to what
are generally known az the Alabama claims Mr.
Fish opened the debate by reading carefully

missionera expected to demand. This statement
appears in the printed copy Of the treaty and
protocols. 1t has been before the world for
many months. There is not point in tho Cen
