JUSTICE ORIINANT.

On the ID inst,, the Supreme. Court of the
State of New York affirmed the judgment Of
the lower court In the case OF .sthe State VS..
Foster" convicted of the murder of Nj.
Putnam by striking him with a car-hook, OH
board u street car In New York City. The
answer of the culprit, to the usual question,
"what have you to say, etc., WAS, II did
not intend to kill him." The jury, however.
thought otherwise. and he will, unless exc
cutivc e!emency enterfere, be executed on
the 9TH day OF March next. 1t 10 not prcba-
bic that the present Governor CT the great
State of New i ork, tGen. Dix,) where crime
has been rampant for years past, M,ill ignore
the verdict Of a jury and the Judgment OF the
Supreme Court. That gentleman has passed
too long period of his advanced age in the
oppression Of crime, to look with indifference
upon case calling aloud for exemplary pun
ishment.
The late Mr.. Putnam, victim of the con-
demned, entered the car where two ladies of
his acquaintance were seated. He, a gentle
man of character. position. and years Ia life,
vas recognized by the ladies, who were iray-
cling alone, and acted with courtesy as their
escort until the man Foster entered, when
he, unacqua.nted w.:th the ladies sought to
enter into sociai converse with one Of them,
as with an I'D and Me.l-knoNa friend. This
impertirence was calmly, coolly and with
lady-like dccorum resented by the lady thus
addressed. The intruder persisted un.st ey-
cry sense of decency and consciousness q
duty as the friend OF the lady 50 insnlted and
for the time being her companion, suggested
that the intrusion was renrehensible and
must be stopped. The bastard poltroanthsn
ceased his impotence, not With regret for his
wrong. ror prompted with manly thought
to quit an ffansc, which, II continued might
cost him his life. with comparative impunily
to his slayer. The brutal man retired from
the body of the car, and awaited OH the
drivers stand the coming Of his unconscious
victim. Then as the latter assisted the lady
out, the former picked up car-hook, and
striking him a heavy blow on the head killed
him. Tie excuse made, ii such we may call
it, for The crime committed, was that the
striking with the car-hook. weapon then
found showed no intention tc'ksl. But may
we suppose that il Foster had any
more efectual weapon within his control
than the one used, he would not hare resort

right had he to strike the deceased Mt all

Hon. James Wright. the successor Of Col.
Wall as Superintendent OF Indian Affairs,
arrived in Helena on the 9th. ard formally
assumed the duties CT his office on he 2Sth.
The Herald represents Mr.. Wright as s'a
gentleman of some fifty years, Intelligent,
, sociable, quick in movement. aad eyidca.ly
possessed Of vigorous constitution
These are things the people care but litsle
about. The main questions arc" IL Ae hon
est; is lie eapable:" He has filed many po-
sitioEs of trslss in his State, among which
was that Of Secrctary. s.
We do not question the houesty of Ills
predecessor, Col, Wall, but tlaf he did s.ot
90 right by the people, Of Montana IN the
discharge Of his official duties we are con-
WINGED. The patronage Of his Office, amount
ing to some $2OO, 200, which legitimately be-
longed to Montana, was thrown into the
hands of ring composed of geatlemen lis-
ing in that section Of Iowa from which Col.
Wall halls.
We do not wish to make war upon Col.
Wall, now that he is out of Office, but we
are of opinion that he is responsible in a
measure tor the hnrd tines now pressing our
people. on account of not having . market
for the products Of Montana the past season.
Had the Indian supplies been drawn from
the graneries and stock herds Of the Terri
tory, instead of from Iowa and elsewhere, it
would have relieved oar people to a great
extent from their present embarrassment.
Dir. Wright comes from the same section
as his Rrelcefsor, but we trust he will keep
out of tue n1eShes of the iowa Indian Ring.
