THE FAIR TRIAL.

Monday evenings kilograms brought
us the astounding intelligence that the
trial of Mrs. Fair terminated in verdict
of acquittal. That twelve men could be
found in California either foolish or
wicked enough to refuse to punish a
criminal guilty of so heinous crime is
both astounding and alarming. The
only logical conclusion to be drawn from
this unexampled proceeding is that when
any adulteress or mistress OF married
man finds that her victim is beginning to
tire of her and desires to return to
the wife of his bosom as his truest friend
and best companion, then the abandoned
harlot has a right to kill her former para
mour because he ceases to break the laws
of God and man and cliNgs to his lawful
wife in preference to courtesan. 1t is
not worth while to relate or comment
upon the connection between the untor-
tunate Mr.. Crittenden and the woman
who slew him or the circumstances sur
rounding the homicide-they are too
well known-but with them fresh in the
minds of all, who cannot but feel that
the absolute impotency of the law to
reach great criminals is a misfortune
fraught with the gravest Consequences?
No family in the land is safe if the evils
of the temptress have led the husband
and father astray. For him there is nc
repentance; no return to the forsaken
paths of virtue; for if he does ALLURE his
sin and bid the lewd woman retire, he
does SO at the peril of his life; for his
discarded mistress may, like Mrs. Fair
deliberately STAY the dupe who had slip.
ped or was slipping from her grasp, and
ajury Of her countrymen will say that
she is guilty of no crime sending hel
forth to seek another paramour and per
haps commit another murder. Wha
must the wife of the murdered man thinl
of the laws of her country that permit al
unchaste woman to first entrap her hus
band into the tolls of sin and the mo
ment he attempts to escape to murde
him and still be declared innocent of an,
crime? Yet this has been done in
country that processes christianity, boast
ing laws to protect the innocent and pun
ish the evil-doer. How imperfectly thi
is carried into effect the verdict in tn
Fair trial will be constant witness.

Our neighbor, the Review, goes after
Genl Banks with stick reduced to a
point of wonderful accuteness. If Banks
had supported Grant it is probable the
Review would not have contemplated
Banks exactly in that light. 1t is good
thing that he will probably never see the
Review, otherwise he might feel bad, for
that influential journal reproves him in
terribly severe terms for preferring
brains to shoulder straps" as Tom
Fitch said.

Two Pennsylvania women called for
their husbands at bar-room the other

husbands head, the other satisfied her
self with doing the same for two ocean

these little bursts of playfulness over,

Mr.. Johnson said he was no candidate for
any office. It was we'll In times of popular
upheaval to take our bearings, and see

principles, he showed at length how the gov
ernment had been drifting from constl-

paythlng of an irresponsible Congress,
ut the dlctatlon OF q usurping executive.
He reviewed CRAFTS administration with
some severity, but still with moderation,

the election of the President by the direct

he said, would be q great national disaster.

THE CITT HOSPITAL.
Another View Of the Question.

TO TIE EDITOR OF TIE NEWS.
The interest now manifested by the Board
OF Heath and city authorities In reference 10
hospital accommodation Is one In which every
citizen has O share. The accommodations OF
the present hospital call loudly for Improve
ment. It ia no exaggeratlon to say that
Charleston has the poorest accommodations
for its sick of any other city Of like preten-
slons in this country. 1 do not speak Of the
medical attention, nor the care which is other
wise bestowed on the city's sick; bnt refer to
the nadequacy of the present buildings for
hospital purposes. The city may epend twenty
thousand dollars on improvements and have
in return patched up concern, which will be
a perpetual eye.sore, and In no way afford the
relief now demanded.
We have an Orphanhouse that strikes the
eye Of the beholder In its truly paatlal outline
complete In oil Its arrangements. Why have
we not Hospital, If not as superb, at least
something that looks less like fortified castle
OF the middle ages? Many of our poor are

proachable character -seamstresses, house
maids and others Of known respectability
Forced from stress of circumstances to seek
the clty's charity, they must not on that account
be degraded and sent to place having more
the character of g pesthouse where disease is
contracted than hospital. The Interior ar.
rangements are no arrangements at all. Dis.
eases are promiscuously huddled together, and
no separation whatever between the dying
and the convalescent. The respectable female
is made the unwilling companion, by proxlmi
ty at least, Of the very dregs OF society.
The public is not aware OF state Of things,
the moral and physical tendency of which is
degrading In the extreme. The Board O
Health has given NO good reason why the city
should not lease the Roper Hospital at the
small sum of five hundred dollars year. The
interest alone on the amount required for the
contemplated Improvements will more thar
treble that sum. II economy Is urged, ther
rent the Roper Hospital, in every way suited
for comfort and convenience, and In ten year,
the city will gain as many thousand dollars
beside diminishing the number of It's sick b!
superior accommodation and greater comfort
If this cannot be accomplished, let the cit!
authorities build hospital at once and leave
the present building to Its original purpose

If such be its fate. OBSERVER:
