THE Police JUSTICE LAW. 1t is rumored
that Judge Rapallo is writing the opinion on
the decision OF the Court OF Appeals on the
Police Justice law of 1873, by which the old
Justices were turned out of Office and the
present Justices appointed as their successors.
From this it is coniectured that the decision
will be adverse to the constitutionality of the
new law We must confess that we are una
BILE to see how the writing OF the opinion by
Judge Rapallo, if the rumor be really well
founded, can be regarded as an indication of
what the decision will be. Judge Rapallo is
from this city, and it is natural enough that
he should deliver the opinion, whether it de-
stroys or maintains the law. The case will, nc
doubt, be decided as soon as the Court of APP
peals reassembles, and from the importance
Of the interests involved it is desirable that
the question should be settled as soon as pos,
sible.

Pennsylvania Repubiican Conventfon.

Pcnnsylvania Republican convcntton.
The Pennsylvania republicans have met in
convention at Harrisburg and sounded the
first war-note of the opening campaign. Not
that the proceedings were marked b. any very
striking originally but because they fur
nrsn Indications Of what the action
of the party is likely to be on the
question which has so long occupied public
attention Grants third term 1t interests
the public very little to be informed that the
Convention voted in favor of protection, de-
manded civil rights in order to please tho
colored people and charged all the villany Of
the republican pet-baggers on the demo-
cratic party. All this and more was expected.
but people were anxious to know whether
C@sarism has really taken deep root among
the rank and file. That question Pennsylvania
has answered in way not to be misunder-
stood. Whatever Custom House officials
and Post Office employees may think
about subverting the constitutional tradi-
tions handed down to us the rank
and file will stand no tampering with
them. They will not have Cesar-they
prefer any other man, and as if to mark the
extent of their opposition, they nominate for
our next President Governor Hartranft.
There is something sublime in this
nomination; at another time it would
be ridiculous but as exhibiting the
willingness Of Pennsylvania to accept
any one rather than Grant this nomination
is sterling exhibition of political good sense.

THE FoRMosA WAR.-China and Japan, if
the cable despatch is based on fact
seem likely to come to blows over the For
mosan expedition Under the impression
that Japan had no serious intention Of under
taking the war to punish the savage tribes
China gave her consent to the expedi-
ton but since it has been under
taken she has grown jealous and the
telegraph informs us demands that the Japan
ese will of once evacuate the island Our cor
respondence from the japanese camp will be
read with interest. 1t shows that the islanders
are as good-heerted as they are brave and in
telligent. There is ye. bright future in re-
serye for Japan.

The STORY comes from Montgomery, Ala,
that United States District Judge Dick Bus
teed, while passenger on the Western
Railroad, in that State, ''incited negro riot
on the cars. The conductor ordered negro
out of the ladies' car, in which he had no
right to seat, when the gallant Busted took
the side of the "cullud pusson," insisted on
civil rights. and, with pistol drawn, at the head
of fifteen or twenty blacks gathered on the
train, invaded the ladies' car in defiance of
one white man and three or four terrified
females. We can scarcely credit the story
The idea of Dick Busted, with q loaded re-
volver, leading anything, sounds absurd to
New Workers. When Busted was made a
political General during the war he in
quired of friend what the people Of New
York said about his military promotion.
'says" was the reply. i.. "they don't say
anything. They laughl busted with ar
,pistol but a s.noGket pistol in a huge Joke.

and restrain Tilton, and that Tilton had un-
limited power to procure confessions from his
wife, Mr. Beecher should have Indignantly
deied Moulton and driven him from his house
the moment he displayed the pistol. If Tilton
had then publicly accused him he had Mrs.
Tilton's written statement to show. If her
husband had induced her to recant i she
could have 5sen examined before the church
in the presence of Mr.. Beecher, and would
probably have told the truth. But high
toned man would not have stopped to weigh
consequences. His indignant resistance to q
false and infamous charge would have precipi-
tated the matter to a crisis at once, leaving
consequences to take care of themselves.
. The most surprising part of this strange
history consists in the fact that all Mr..
Beecber's letters of remorse, contrition,
humiliation, despondency aud despair were
written subsequent to Tilton's accusation that
he had made indecent and infamous proposals
to his wife. 1t seems inconceivable that in the
face of charges so infamous and ruinous
a sane and innocent man should have
written letters to his accusers deploring
his guilt and abjectly suing for forgiveness,
without explicitly discriminating between
what he meant to acknowledge and what he
meant to deny. The fact that a false and in
famous charge had been made, infinitely ex-
ceeding in turpitude anything he had ever
done, should have caused indignant denial
and denunciation to take the place OF so
much self-abasing confession and remorse in
those very remarkable letters, which are all
the more extraordinary as having been written
subsequent to and to the very persons max
ing the most atrocious charges against Mr.
Beecher's moral character. A man of spirit,
strong in conscious innocence, should have
Indignantly refused to make any kind of con-
fession at all to those parties until the in-
famous false accusation had been with
drawn.

as they could carry away. The manner In
which the war is carried on renders repeti-
ton of the ST. Domingo horrors almost in
evitable. Spanish pride will continue the
struggle until the people of the country are
wholly demoralized and ruined. The Quix-
otes will then retire, having wasted their last
dollar and tattegel their last coat They will
have the satisfaction Of leaving behind them

treasure they have wasted has besn wasted in

live with her husband There was nothing in
either to justify an agony Of terror, remorse
and despair. What made Mr. Beecher SO
supremely miserable was Mrs. Tilton's con-
fesson to her husband of an assault on her
virtue. His exaggeration of the other topics
can make no impression on discriminating
readers But what he says of the graver
charge has an air of reality y:-"From the
anger and fury Of Mr.. Tilton I apprehended
that this charge, made by him and supported
by the accusation of his wife, was to be
at once publicly pressed against me,
and if it was I had nothing but my simple
word of denial to interpose against it. This
was doubtless an ugly situation for an inno-
cent man to be placed in, for the confession
of a wife would be pretty apt to be believed,
even against clergyman.
But the helpless abjectness Of Mr.. Beecher
| in this trying situation is miracle of mental
and moral imbecility. Accused Of disgrace
full offence, of which he knew himself inno-
cent, and having obtained from Mrs. Tilton O
written statement indicating him from the
charge, he allowed himself to be bullied and
frightened by a display of firearms in his bed
chamber into giving it up. And the man who
thus enforced his demand by laying pistol
ON the bureau near which he stood was soon
after taken into Mr.. Beecher's confidence aa
his closest and most trusted friend What
utter scorn any man of spirit would have fell
for bully who had come to his sleeping
apartment on such an errand And this bully
practised this violence to fasten upon Mr..
Beecher an infamous charge OF which he was
innocent; ; yet he not only forgave him th'
outrage but made him his bosom coun
sellor and put his reputation in tina
miscreant's keeping! A man OF courag
and spirit would have died a thousan'
deaths sooner than call such man his frlent
and put himself in his power. Mr.. Beecher'
unmanly fears and craven conduct can be ex
planned, though never justified. He was mad
