MR RANDALLS RFDRESS

Our neighbor of The World, in calling atten-
ton to the fact that Mr.. Randall, the Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee in
Pennsylvania, has brought a civil suit for
damages against the officials who 80 foully
cOnspired against him and Mr.. Mcclure, seems
to think that in doing this he has fully met
public expectation. Although we admit it is
strictly no direct concern of ours, we incline
to different view of the matter. Mr.. Ran
dali owes it to himself, and the cause and
truth, to institute a criminal prosecution, be
its probable issue what it may. If otfense at
all, it was no ordinary one. Not only did five
Of1ice-hOlders unite i'll conspiracy to defame
and niure respectable and as is now admitted,
innocent individuals, forging letter as means
to that end but the Mayor of tho city laid this
forgery thus indorsed before the Federal au-
thorities and asked for adverse action. Moth
ing but the calm good sense of the District
Attorney prevented 1t.
If ever there was criminal conspiracy,
here it was, and, as such, at least an at
tempt should be made to punish it. A
suit sounding in damages, to be tried years
hence, is poor affair; and what special
pecuniary damage can be shownf In civil
suit Mr. RandalIs lips are sealed. He cannot
under oath say the letter attributed to him is
a forgery. 1t will be an unsatisfactory ques-
ton of handwriting for q puzzled jury.
In criminal prosecution, even if it uld-
mately fails, as to Philadelphia it well may,
he can at least say the truth before the COM
mitting magistrate and the Grand Jury; and
what is it to him if afterward, corruption
illustrates justice3 There are many consider
ations which we hardly like TO think about
that seem to demand active, energetic action
in Philadelphia's polluted atmosphere. A dark
cloud of suspicion rests upon that region not
at all limited by party lines, and if care is not
taken and vigorous action had, it will extend
beyond the low ground of politics, and creep
ing up hide from sight eminences which are
now above it.
New-York tribune., 1872-10-15

There arc no breakfasts, dinners, suppers like
those which we shall presently, with the un-
equaled relish of kindly conversation, be cat
ing. Then, too, it is only in Winter that
we can experience the delicious sense
of shelter, while the great winds are
roaring outside, while the rain is
swashing cur window-pane, or the white
shower is putting the world into shrOud.
Then it is, with your oldest slippers upon
your feet and your shabbiest dressing-gown
upon your back, with your longest pipe in
your mouth and your statelest folio upon
your knee, that you can make the hours be-
tween sunset and bedtime each as golden as
the brightest star which is swapping in tho
frosty armament. If you be MT male of sex.
the pipe and the folio must be eliminated
from the arrangements If you be something
better than single so much the "nicer."

MORE ABOUT THE SMITH AND BARLOW
SCANDAL.

When Acknowledgement Barlow was retained
by the party of Erie stockholders represented
by Gen. Sickles to attend to their interests in
the Albany lobby, his first step, as we have
seen, was to pay $1,5OO to the Hon. Henry
Smith. whom the Custom-house Republicans
had lust selected for Speaker of the Assembly.
Mr.. Smith then appointed the committeesj
Gen. Barlow submitted to the appropriate
committee the draft Of such bill as he
wanted the committee made o favorable re-
mort; and Mr.. Speaker Smith thereupon made
his appearance on the floor as an earnest sup
porter of the measures which he had been re-
tanned to advocate IL will be remembered
that Gen. Barlow, in the letter which we pub
lished the other day, speaks in the same
sentence Of engaging the services of Messrs.
Smith, Tremain, and Hale. He paid each the
same fee. He evidently hired them all three
for the same purpose, and the presumption is
that he secured them all at or about the same
time. Now we have seen from Mr. Hales
letter that the services which that gentleman
was engaged to perform were not services in
the courts, but services at the Capitol The
letter affords no absolute proof indeed, but it
affords strong presumptiye evidence that Mr.
Hale was simply lobby agent and that Mr..
Trefiain was no ESctter Scte, thoash. owing to bad
health and the pressure of business, nc |hS
able to do little service in the matter. 1t is
a fact moreover that no legal proceedings
were pending in which these gentlemen could
be retained, and it is a fact also that they did
act in behalf of the Sickles party in the lobby
and the committee rooms.
If this was the duty of two Of tho Attorney
Generals associate counsel, what were the
functions of the third II Barlow, Hale, and
Tremain were employed in pushing the bill
from the outside Of tho Chamber, what was
the Hon. Henry Smith retained to do inside 7
The following extract from the Albany CORE
spondence of The NeD0 York Times, March II,
1872, will show:

In support Of the bill, and followed by Speaker
Smith, who gave a brief review OF the management Of

New-York tribune., 1872-10-15

We seem to be educating a peculiarly ami
able type of scholars and gentlemen at our
National Academies. A colored midshipmas
named COnyers has recently entered the Naval
School at Annapolis. His complexion is 50
exasperating to the young Caucasians there
that wherever two or three dozen OF them are
gathered together. making the proceeding en-
tirely safe, they beat and kick him with great
spirit and energy. He appears to be an en-
tirely inoffensive person, so that 1t is rather
difficult for the authorities to mark him down
fast enough to dismiss him. He is so heavily
weighted that it is, of course, impossible that
he should get through; but if the Naval
School is to be anything moro than Water
street Sailors Boarding House, Commodore
WOrden would do well to teach the young
ruffians under his charge that there are such
things as laws, and that they are made to DO
obeyed.

TIE NEWEST DEPARTURE.

It is droll to See a Grant organ so blind as
exultingly to reproduce the following from
The augusta ConstitutiondlSt
at is said that the Hon. Alexander H. stephensis is
about to yield solicitations pressed upon him from diff
forent parts OF the With Congress District, TO be-
come candidate for Congress- 1t is further said that
the Hon. Philip Clayton, Radical nominee, is willing to
retro for his benefit We do not know on what the
rumor is based. SO many strange things happen in poll
tics that nothing seems too improbable for belief"
Mr.. Stephens, as we understand, is now un-
der prescription by act of Congress, so that
every vote cast for him will be legal nullity.
He is the ablest and the bitterest of the
"Bourbon Sours"-unreeonciled and irrecon-
cilable to the Union-an unchanged and un-
changeable champion of the right of Secession.
He has done his best, under the guise OF
Bourbonsm, to reeect Gen. Grant, and it is
simply fair that "the Hon. Philip Clayton, the
Radical nominee" should retire in his favor,
and thus help him to get into Congress If he
can. Turn about is fair play in all things,

OREGON.

Oregon is O Democratic State, as she has
abundantiy proved. But Mr.. Ben. Holiday,
who is naturally Democrat of Southern pro-
clivities, is Railway King of that State, and
largely profting by Immigrant subsidies, and
is therefore Grant man, and carried Oregon
for Grant at her recent State election. 1t was
expected that this would return the Hon. George
II. Williams Gen. Grants Attorney General
to the Senate but Holiday saw fit to elect his
attorney, John II. Mitchell, instead All this
strikes us as natural and coherent.
The ~ Y. Times has letter from the "seat
"of war; explaining and smoothing over this
matter, in which it speaks of the new Senators
"John IL. Mitchell, considerably identified with our
railroads and employed legal adviser by Ben Hola
day, who controls our railroads.
Just so!
The letter in Gneesstion continues:

Mitchell, no Republican vote being cast against him.

No doubt they intended TO combine the Democratic vote
with their own and Mr. Corbets election but

and then Mtchell's election was contaminated The
cuse for tho refusal TO go into that railroad

ries, and so secured Mitchens friends an cleo

Twenty-nine topics affecting commercial and
financial interests are proposed for discussion
by the National Board of Trade, which begins
its sessions in this city to-day. 1t has been
too much the practice of these commercial
conventions merely to agree to memorializo
Congress on various subjects, and then leave
the work until the next year. But the ques-
tions which will come up in this conference
seem to be more practical than usual; an IN
telligent debate on them cannot be otherwise
than useful to tho organizations represented
and to the country also.

From every quarter we receive the cheering
intelligence that the good work is carried on
with unabated vigor. The gross frauds IN
Pennsylvania have plucked the sting out of
our defeat there, and Liberal Republicans and
Democrats arc renewing the fight with fresh
energy and hopes. In New-YOrk Gov. Hoffman
takes the stump, and will deliver addresses at
Cortland on Thursday afternoon next, and
Homer on the evening of the same day. The
Governor is sure Of hearty reception, and
his presence in the field will impart increased
courage and confidence to the ranks of his
party associates.

An old proverb has expressed the popular
impression of the sympathy of nature with the
SORROWS of men in the homely phrase, Happy
&" is the dead whom the rain rains on" 1t was
under a sad and rainy sky that William
Henry Seward was yesterday borne to his
grave, amid the unpurchased tears of thou
sands of his friends and fellOw-citizens. Tho
wisest of the Greeks said to a King of the
East that no man could be called happy until
his DEATH and now that our most eminent
citizen has finished his career, we can survey
his life and call it q happy one. 1t is
true that In the vulgar view, which
regards only material success, it may not
appear so. He did not attain the high
est point of his civic ambition. He
did not accumulate great wealth. He suffered
the passing clouds of popular disfavor and the
keener pangs of personal bereavement. But
mere comfort and ease and prosperity are not
the end Of life. In honest labor, in cOnsclen-
tious effort for what he considered the good
of his country and of mankind, in an upright
walk and conversation before men, and an
humble trust in Heaven, his life was passed,
and crowned at last by a tranquil death and
q funeral where the nation was chief mourner.
We cannot but recall his own eloquent words
in describing the death in harness of the
younger Adams, in which he quoted that
statesman's dying words, which might have
been bis own" This is the end Of earth.

Fitzpatrick, the Arkansas land-rover, seems
to have full swing for time in the Critten-
den County region. His followers are negroes
who belong to a secret league, something like
that which the cOlOred men of North Carolina
sustain. Our dispatches present fOrcible pic
ture of this bold bandit entering a church
filed with negro worshipers and compelling a
large number of them to join his band or be
fined for neglect of duty, according to the OBJ
legations of their order. Fitzpatrick is an out
law who seeks to avoid arrest and punishment
by surrounding himself with these colored
conscripts. The facility with which he does
this shows what dangerous enemy to law and
order is concealed in the secret, Oath-bound
organizations so common in the disOrdered,
misgoverned States of the South and South
