The Rockland Gazette criticizes our
portrait of Miss Mank, and also the report
of the impanelling of the jury. We should
like it much better if the Gazette had itself
made an attempt in either direction, be
cause structures upon that which the critic
cannot even attempt, never amount to
much. We notice, however, that our
contemporary, in a review Of the trial,
brings a new and extraordinary charge
against the murdered man. 1t says that
The prisoners conduct when and after she
was found, on the night of the murder, had the
appearance of the natural terror and nervous
excitement which might be occasioned by 4
sudden assault upon the man 7rho had occupied
her room by q third person.
This is a new version OF the affair.
Still, if the doctor did occupy her room by
a third person, he is responsible for all that
his proxy did, for the legal maxim would
apply: "What one does by another, he
does himself" Still as the man is dead,
the charge had better have been withheld

Our readers will be glad to know that
Hon. $. 5. Cox is to be again in Congress.
He was last week nominated to fill the
vacancy in the sixth New York district

country and the democracy will again
have the services of this brilliant gentle
man in the national legislature In accept
inc the nomination, MI Cox made some
remarks in his usual happy style, from
which we make the following extract

enceS and ignorant of its designs myself is Il

heart. | promise, if elected. to give nicer heed
and more studous vigilance to the business in

mindful of them in the past, but while demo-

newcd zeal and greater labor to those duties
which concern this gateway of the nation.
How vast these interests are, glance at our

increasing and varied industries atteStS. If
go to Congress again | will pursue the same
tenet of my political faith, beuntes for all or

one class, not enjoyable by all.

Moro Murder.

The murder mania stills prevails in
Maine, and bloody handed crime continues
to startle alike the inhabitants in cities
the jewellers. on the lonely islands of the
sea, and the quiet residents of rural towns.
This week we chronicle the finding of the
remains Of a woman near Lewiston, whose
death by violence is almost certain, and
the murder of Il young man in Houlton.
Ihls last makes, we think, the eleventh
person assassinatcd in Maine during the
nne and half months Of the year 1878
How many of these lives have been
sacrificed to the foolishly lax laws and
worse than mistaken tenderness toward
convicted murderers cannot perhaps be ex-
actly computed but that the thirst for
blood is becoming daily more bold in its
qualification and more sure in its immun-
ty, is certain. Eleven murders in less
than ono year in q State that boasts of the
intelligence and morality Of its population,
and OF its severity towards criminals!
The fact is that the criminal law Of
Maine in several particulars is rendering
the State ridiculous. Our law making
power, assuming that the sale and use of
intoxicating liquor are almost the only
sources Of crime, have exacted and in
theory put in force law to suppress the
traffic blythe severest penalties But it is
mere harmless thunder We all know
that in Fact our towns and cities abound in
liquor shops and that in every community
is one authorized by the State itself Prac-
titally dram drinking is as free as water.
So OF the pretended protection thrown
around the life of the citizen 4 law on
the statute books makes the crime of muir
der punishable with death But another
law makes Of the Governor and that little
knot Of rewarded town and county politi-
clans called the Executive Council. a re-
visory or appellate tribunal with power to
nullity the law and the proceedings IN
der it Of the Supreme Court. These things
are making, as we said, our State ridicu-
lous for its terrible but harmless threats
towards criminals and a locality to be
summed because OF the shocking insecure
ty of human life in its borders 1t is quite
time that murdcrers were taught that
there is a law and = penalty 10 stop their
work

SALARY sSGRAB."-We publish from

first page, the only real bona fide
argument that we have yet seen in
favor Of the back ssGrab," as it is
termed. It's ingenuity commends
itself to the general reader; but we
think the writer's logic is bad mot
being based on the principle ofright
and justice Because other Con-
crosses in times gone by, have
adopted the retroactive feature OF
this salary bill, and no ssfuss" was
made about it does not make the

no objection, under the circum-
stances Of abolishing the mi!age
and the frank, to q raise in com
pensation; but the back pay-there' q
the 's.rub.' II we agree to pay a
man 81, 90 per week for working

served in Brigham Young-s recep-

damning to Smiths character az
that portrait 'rhe face is large,

are unpleasantly prominent; the

brown hair, straight. and Jumped at
the ears He wears a high color,
with redundant white neckcloth.
The whole appearance of the head
bulky, awkward. ill-set, with bull
bous eyes and horribly retreating
fOrehcad-is abnormal, and repul-

seizes irresistibly on the spectator
that it must be the head of & crimi-

EDITOR PALLADTUM:-Two years
have passed since our last city cleo
ton took place, and but few of our
people, I fear, understand what has
been done towards the prosecution
Of crime and the due enforcement
Of our city laws. Fault hAs been
found Of Mayor Poe and Major
Lyle, as Prosecutor, for failing to
prosecute crime on the one hand,
and on the other that they prose-
cuted too much. That men should
err is to be expected. None are in
fallible. As an evidence Of due en-
ioreement Of the laws under Poe's
and Lyle's administration for the
past two years, Poe has paid into
the city treasury as much money
u. Mayor Young and Bennett both
in the same length of time, each
Great injustice has been done Poe
and Lyle in charging them with de-
reelection Of duty as officers in this
respect, and I do hope no one hal
been unjustly prosecuted. tn.
records compare well with the NOR
els Of our goodly city. OBsrRyxR.

They have been known TO our

in Southern Oregon, and were en-
tirely friendly.
