Tne Ca,awen Rribert case.


In the Senate, on the l4th inst Senator
ScHuRz delivered powerful speech on
the case of Senator CALDWELL, of Kan
sas, The following is an extract:
ale had followed the advice Of the
Senator from Wisconsin Carpenter and
read the testimony. He continued: Here
is what l find. Mr.. Caldwell was man
unknown in the political world; he had
performed no public service; he had no
fame; there was no evidence of urcom-
mon ability drawing upon him the eyes
of the people; but there was an abund-
ance of money. He appears as a candi-
date for high office; around him was a
band of political managers, whose whole
political wisdom consisted in the low
tricks of the trade and the appliances OF
corruption. Behind that group looms up
one of these great moneyed corpora
tions, whose power is SO fearfnlly spread
ing, and which exercise SO dangerous ar
influence in our public concerns. He has
already bought off with $4,000 cash
down. a competing candidate, who is te
transfer to him his following in the Leg
islature like so many head of cattle. Sc
armed and surrounded he steps upon the
scene the cry goes forth that there is
money, much money in the election. Th,
presence of the temptation stimulates al
once every vicious appetite. One mar
who has vote sees that another is paid
for his. The frequency of the practice
blunts the individual conscience. Ths
Legislature is transformed into market
where votes are hought and sold, and thus
Mr.. Caldwell is elected Senator That's
what read in this testimony. Not mer'
isolated case of indiscrction on the par
of an over Jealous friend and supporter
hut an organized system of bribery,
Bacchanalian riot of corruption. 1t il
clear to my mind that Mr.. Caldwell woul,
never have been elected but for the none,
used. The money elected him. tits
clear case of purchase by cash down ol
seat in the Senate. If juryman, thi
would be my verdict. The debate ba
only strengthened my conviction. / d
not ask to be believed upon my mere as
sertion. Read for yourselves. 1t is t
he feared that this case does not stan'
alone. 1t viii certainly not stand alon
if this passes with imfunity."
The whole story is contained in tn
above and it stamps the word bribery
all over CALDWELL

AnAdm,ni.,ra,lon view.

Here is the short and easy way with
which an Administration journal dispo-
ses of the Louisiana case. The Phila-
delphia American says:
We doubt if even the veliant Mem
cry will be able to nurse his wrath and
keep it warm" in the presence of cold
lead and remorseless steel. But if he
shall be able to do that,it is to be hoped
that blank cartridges will be reserved
until the matter of order shall have
been determined. There is no argu.
ment SO n,incing for madmen as sud-
den death.
OF course, then, "cold lead and re.
morseless steel' are to settle this quar-
rel. The right of four fitths of the peo-
pie Of Louisiana to choose their own
State Government is mere trife. We
have got past the old fashion of settling
things by legal means; even blank cart
ridges are not convincing enough for
the "madmen" Who have weakness foI
self-government.

The Death Pena,s. in Missouri.

The Legislature of Missouri is dis
cussing proposition to give juries, at
their discretion, power to commute the
death penalty in homicide cases to i'm
prisonment for not less than 20 years.
A bill making such provision has been
favorably reported in the House. The
St. Louis Globe makes these comments
1t is to be hoped that he bill will be-
come law. The almost irresistible
temptation to acqut when any other
possible verdict will be fatal is found to
virtually annul the law against murder.
Juries resolutely refuse to take life. 1t
will therefore, do no harm, at least, to
try the proposed change of the law as
an experiment. An additional reason
for it is the fact that the existing law Of
murder is simply preposterons i'll its
failure to discriminate between crimes
that differ vastly in magnitude 1t de
clares the passion-frenzied homicide to
have actaa with deliberateness and in
cool blood, and prescribes the same
verdict and fate for one who slays the
violator of his domestic peace as for
one who murders for gain This should
be remeaied, and the bill will be step
toward a mnch-needed reformation of
our penal code.

The Presiden,,s Horses.

Washington Cor. Springfield Republican,
The idea seems to have gone abroad
that the President was opposed to the
salary increase, and at one time rumors
were thick that he had vetoed the bill
The fact is he was anxious that the bill
should pass. A New England member
went up to see him, Friday, on some bu-
siness, and came back with the story that
the President could talk of nothing else
than the salary question. On the same
day Tom Murphy lunched with the Pres
ident, and be came down to the House
with the story that the President was de-
jected with the prospect that the PROPOSE
ton to increase his salary would fail. Nor
do lame him much. General Grant
has no faculty to economize; he will not
lay up any money on his present salary !;
he has not been able to live on $4,000
a year, and the prospect Of using up all
his property in the next four years was
not a pleasant one. He told member
that his horses cost him $500 month
1t is certain that he has spent consider
ably more than his salary during his
term just closed, and he was greatly re-
lieved and pleased when he found that
the increase was passed in the Appro-
priation Bill, where it would stick -
Very likely the President didn't favor
the grab of the Forty-second Congress
at back pay, but he knew very well that
the whole scheme was concocted by
General Butler to hang together as a
whole or fail together. If the members
had failed in increasing their own pay,
it was fixed that the President should
get more, and the one hundred members
retired from Congressional life were de
.er.nined that there should be no in
crease of pay unless it dated back to
the commencement of this Congress
They did as we'll as they could by the
President, for the Constitution would
not allow him to sign a bill increasing
his pay during his term, but, while the
increased pay of the Judges and the
Bureau officers begins with the new
fiscal year, that of the President com
mences March 4th, the very first mo-
ment it was possible to do it.

bill recently defeated in the British
House Of Commons:
ats central idea was the enlargement

College, and also the Queens Colleges,

other institutions, the University itself

governing body TO he free from the rep

ences. The money for the payment Of

ally, was 70 he taken partly from the
University funds Of Trinity College
partly from the consolidated fund; but
by far the greater part from the surplus
of the Disestshlished Church. The
theological faculty of Trinity College
was to be removed to the control of the
Episcopal Church. Galway College
was to he abolished This plan was re-
ceived at first with singular unanimity
of approval. Both Conservatives and
Catholics seemed at the outset to receive
it as on the whole moderate aud reason
able. 1t is said that Archbishop Man

of Commons when the bill was presen.

which might prove the harbinger of {

this promising state of things did moi
last long. A violent opposition grew
up in England among the Conservative
Church party on account of the con
cessions which it made to the Catholics
and still more fervid opposition de
veloped itself among the latter by rea
son of the concessions the bill did no
make. Trinity College, which was a
FIRST favorable, became rapidly hostile
The Queens University and every ON
Of the Queens Colleges showed q vic

The Catholics were not behind in the;
opposition. They pronounced the bill
fatal to Catholic education, and thei
professors and students gave an author
itstive voice to this declaration Th'
Clergy were virtually unanimous, fel
lowing the lead of the Cardinal Cullen
Dr.. MacHale, and other great lights o
the Church, in deuouncing the schem
as covert attack against the Catholi
religion. Magee College spoke in it
favor, but the voice of its twenty-fou
students was scarcely heard in tn

Any President who would re-appoint
10 Office such a man as Collector j. f.
Casey of New Orleans might be fairly
given over to blindness of heart MI.
Casey was Extensively active in the orig
inal Louisiana troubles: he lent the
Custom house service to the conspira
tors who attempted to break up the
Legislature; and all his acts were so no.
toriously at war with the principles of
common decency that the Congress
Committee OF Investigation could only
submit the facts and silently await the
result The result was that Casey was
retained in power; and now he has been
again appointed to the position which
he has SO openly and shametully
abused. There never was any pallia-
ton offered for Casey's conduct. The
only reason which can now be found for
his persistent. retention in office is either
that he is the Presidents brother-in-law,
Or else that the Presidents chivairy
compels him to stick by man for
whom nobody else has a good word.
