If Mr.. Butler were not such a spoler he would
be an invaluable member Of the National Legisla-

the defender Of every corrupt onist arraigned bv

IN his sublime impudence and the bruit force OF

President Grant Setting Public Opinion n
at Defiance.

The last act OF lndlscreGon, to give 1t the mt 81
mild term, is the Commutaton Of the sentence oi
O'BIien, the murderer.
This is done In the face of tho immense number
of terrible murders that are being committed in
all parts of the country; at time when it hes been
the expressed desire OF the public that the full pen
atty of the law should be meed out 10 az! such Of
tenders in order if possible 10 check the evident
increase of the most horrid crimes.
In New York the hot-bed of crime the Cover
nor has just refused to commute the sentence Of
Foster, the cay-hcok murderer for no other reason
than that it seems absolutely necessary that a
terrible warning is necessary to deter the wicked,
and to preserve the lives Of the innocent from des
huctiop, at the hands of those who give way to
their passions, stimulated by whiskey and encour-
aged by the hope Of escaping the iul rgor of the
law.
But what viii the stern resolve Of Gov. DIX
amount to when the Chief Executive of the coun-
try, sets an example directly the reverse; This
action of the President is receiving severe COLI
demnatiOn and is discpposed by many of the
journals which assisted him 70 his exalted posi- |
ton; but we sre sorry to say one which he shows
himself so incompetent to fill that the office is
llade to detraot from the brilliant and prosperous
history which an intelligent people are making tor
the country III spite 81 The President and the
party Of which he is the head.
The murder committed by O'Brien was one OF
the most horrid and atrocious character. The
Washington C1yonirle siysit had not seven the
plea of drunkenness in eztenuation. After having
knocked down and stunned his victim with
bludgeon, the murderer returned TO the assault
when he saw the former ause, and sho. him
through the head-sl this after having shameful
ly insulted the wife Of Cunningham"
The cruel indifference which the President has
shown to the poor white people Of the South, who
have been punished in all manner aud forms, and in
many cases without clearly defined law and witt
out evidence, is i'll broad contrast with this elem
ency TO a murderer at a time when this crime,
Iccordng to his own organs was so ieartUlly fire.
