So deep is the feeling in Chicago that some
thing must be done (and that soon) to INSPIRE
with terror the brigands who infest the city,
n murderer was yesterday brought into court,
tried and convicted in twenty minutes. 1t has
been found necessary for the peoples attorney
70 issue an address to the citizens explaining
tho law which regulates trials for murder.
Perhaps the fact that the jury is left to deter
mine the mode of punishment may have some
thing to do with the escape of the guilty in
some cases. 1t appears that the jury may
sentence the convict to be hanged or impris-
oned In Chicago, as elsewhere, there are not
few men who are conscientously opposed to
capital punishment. When such men are on
jury, they are almost certain to be influenced
by these scruples, and prisoner who mght
be sent to prison for life gets away with
tardy or insufficient punishment. But the
Chicago people are likely to be severe enough
now.

Mr.. Blaine has been reelected to Congress
for two years more. (The Grant organ says
"by larger majority than last year." 1t
evidently imagines there is an election for
Parliament every year in this country) NOW
that he is safe in his place, he Will have time
to throw some light on this shady matter OF
the Credit Mobllier This is no vague or
partisan charge which has been made against
him and some of his colleagues. 1t Is sworn
testimony, elected in a suit at law, fortlhed
bv letters of Mr.. Oakes Ames, the authenticity
of which cannot be denied. Mr.. Ames, in
these letters, says he is placing the stock
among members of Congress in quarters where
it will do most good, and he pencils on the
back of one of the letters a list of members
to whom stock had been assigned. Mr.. Blame
is one of the names so inscribed. This is one
of the things that cannot be disposed OF by
silence or mere denial. Itmust be investigated,
and the sooner the better for all parties.

Wethink the least President Grant could do for
Harvard College, in return for his Doctorate, would
be to endow a chair OF Brother-in legal Relations
1t IL subject which is becoming more and moGe in
terestiug and complicated. We have hitherto con-
sqred the Office of brother-in-law purely personal
one. emitting the holder to merely individual priv
eges. 1t was at first thought to be confined to the
Imperial family, until Mr.. WashSurnes brotber-in-
law Jones was sent as Minister to Belgium. But it
seems that the quality is transmissible and repro
ductiye A brother-in-law has himself the right to
set up a brOther-in-law as a sort of appanage Of
rank For instance, when Brother-n-law Jones,
shortly after his Swedish Land operation, was
appointed Minister to Belgium. he appointed his
brother-in-law to the place he vacated in Illinois.
1t would be curious to Just how far this lateral
succession extends.

That pamphlet of Elegant Extracts from THE
TRIBUNE which 1T great expense the Grant Com
mittee has printed for gratutous Distribution does
not seem to excite any alarming actatiOn anywhere
Its purposo is to prove that The TRIBUNE has IN
times past opposed the Democratic party-a tact
known to everybody, and never. within our knowl-
edge, denied by anybody. As for the Democrats
who are expected to fall into dreadful passion and
to swear their heads of upon the Derusal OF this
compilation we must admit that they take the mat
ter good naturedly- This big trump card or the
Committee does not seem to trouble them blt.
One of their newspapers, in acknowledging the re-
cept of the tract designed to show it the error OF
its ways. reminds its readers that Democrats are
supporting Mr.. Greeley "from far higher motives
than mere personal like dislike" and that no
appeal to old preiudces, no revival OF Old dlt-
ferences. can influence them in the least" Inc
Grant National Committee has done nothing but
bJunder since it was organized; but this pamphlet
is the biggest blunder it has made yet, which ls

Itfsn't any of our business specially, but We may
mention that it is charged that there was good
deaof ballot stung at the recent Grant State Con-
vention IN Massachusetts, 1t Is affirmed that
when the Convention came 10 vote for lieutenant
Governor there were not more than 800 actual del
egates present, yet 1O3s votes were cast for that
officer Gen. b. L. Butler received 259 votes tor
Governor, while he had only 200 supporters on the
floor Of the Convention. There appears" says me
Bostos POST "to have been the utmost looseness In
the proceedings, the baloting being done by hats
nassed hy A few men, persons being admitted to the
floor &C the Convention without certificates and no
lists Of delegates having been prepared at all. In
dividuas were putting in more votes than they
were entitled to- and several were observed Us they
voted more than once" These Republicans OF
Massachusetts seem to have taken hint from their
brethren in North Carolina; and if the ticket was
nominated by such fraudulent means, no kepuDli-
cam j. under any obligation to vote 1t unless he

From the premonitOry notes of the Liberal
Conventions which are to be held In Woroes-
fer, Mass, to-day, we judge that there is, if
ANYTHING, an embarrassment of riches in av all
able candidates for the leading nominations.

nent Massachusetts, Dames as Sumner, Banks,
Steans, Bird and SchOuler viii never lack
for dignity to commend it to the citizens OF

An obstacle TO an intelligent conclusion has
been reached, apparently, in the investigation
of the Metis disaster. There is an utter con-
tradiction in the testimony of the people on
tbe schooner which came in collision wiah the
steamer and that of the officers of the Aetis.
Each party testifes positively that the COLI
sion was caused by a sudden change OF course
by the pilot of the other vessel; but whether
the steamer or the schooner changed It's course
is not clear. The question is one OF consider
able importance in fixing the responsibility for
this tragical affair but only experts can make
anything ineligible out Of the cross-exani-
nation.

The Postal Department of the United States
Government is proving that the promised
convenience of city delivery of letters is
delusion and snare. To trust a letter to
this channel is to run great risk of its never
reaching its destination. Complaints are loud,
deep, and frequent The whole system is be-
coming an unmitigated nuisance. Letters
occupy four, five, and six days travelling from
Station d, for instance, to Nassau-st, and nobody
knows what becomes of prepaid printed matter
thus mailed. We should be accused of partisan
unfairness if we referred to the fact that the
Post-Ofice Department is solely run for a
temporary political purpose; so We only state
these few exasperating truths.

the reader is referred to an extract from the
Diario Of Havana, published in our Cuban

profoundly excited by proposition to pur-

declare civil war as an inevitable result of
the accomplishment Of such purpose. The
Spaniards Of Cuba, threatens this bloodthirsty

Spanish ferceness, and they know how to
preserve Cuba. As Spanish ferceness has
been three or four years engaged in an
Intellectual attempt to compel order in Cuba.

SMUGGLING on THE BORDER.

Mr.. W. W. Apologize, of the L. s. Secret
Service, has just returned to Boston from a
trip to the Maine border, where, under the
direction of Col. Whitley, he has been
looking after gang Of smugglers who have
operated extensively there. Last Thursday
at Eastport, with the aid of the United States
officers there, he arrested Frank Mcbride,
the town liquor agent, and Patrick Gillick,
both of Lubec. and Charles Jackson and War
rem Brown of Eastport for smuggling liquors
from the provinces. They seized two cases
of gin, eight cases assorted liquors and two
cases of porter, besides % or 80 cases not
bearing the United States stamps, from which
the liquors had been removed. Mcbride has
been engaged In the business for a long time,
and is said to have made at least S25, 900 by
the business. All the parties were brought
before Commissioner Rand Of Eastport, and
held for trial in the United States Court in
Portland in December.
