ooNvIcr1oS AND PARDON FoR WOODWARD

CONVICTION AND PARDON FOR WOODWARD.
To he Editor Of the Commercial
The Ecery Eoening is apenny paper, but judg-
ing from some OF its editorials penny is cer-
tainly an enormous price for such reading mat
ter. Since the Woodward trial, it has spoken in
plain and decided terms against the verdict of
that jury, but its dose on Friday, labelled ''The
Plain and Simple Duty Of Juries," is certainly
worth t.co cents. II ia plain from this to see
that II Ecery Ecentng had been tine jury in this
case, the verdict would have been gully. And
then, right in the midst of this article, It says
"We would have urged such considerations in
public and in private to secure his pardon"
Now 1t very naturally arises to our mind and
must also occur 10 every mind, that Woodward
was either guilty or not guilty That is certain
ly fair conclusion, isn't It'll Very well. Now the
Ecery EUening wanted him found guilty. What
for? just to have him pardoned, suppose. Is
not such reasoning worth two cents Now if
EUay Eoening wanted him found gully what on
earth did it want him pardoned for2 In pre-
vions article 1t pronounced the rerdict fdlse
Reasoning from this a verdict OF guilty would
have been just. Then If this was Just, Wood
ward was guilty and if guilty he should have
suffered the penalty.
But Epery Erening says we would have
urged &c. DC, to secure his pardon. What
Pardon man who is guilty Of murder? Worse
and worse II wanted the Jury to find him guilty,
and then have the Governor to pardon him.
Wonderful foresight certainly belongs to this
Euef-y EueninJ. Its reasoning reminds me of
the old woman who said she always liked to talk
/ reason when she had anything to talk about but
when she had nothing she would say anything,
whittier to the point or not JusTIoE.

The State Superintendent OF Insurance
has been Ill the city for the last three
DAYS, ut the Office of the Alliance Mutu-
al, giving his whole attention to the in
vestigation of its condition, and making
i personal examination Of lis affairs his
conclusion is that the law has been fully
complied with by the new Company in
every particular, letter and spirit. and it
has therefore been duly authorized to
proceed and enter upon its mission. No
new enterprise was ever inausurated in
Kansas. which started out under more
flstterius auspices, than those which
surround the Alliance Mutual, and as an
INDEX to the light in which the new
Company Is regarded by those who are
best acquainted with the men engaged
in it, we would call attention to the
single fact that applications for over
hundred thousand dollars of insurance
were on fle for the first days business.
No insurance company could carry
among strangers better recommenda-

tempt was made this morning to wreck and
rob- the pay-car of the New York Central

some $4,000 aud force OF six men.
The would-be robbers had placed obstruc-
tons on the track at o secluded place, We'll
chosen for such crime, near piece OF
woods. The work-train came along and dis
covered the Instructions in time to tlss the
nay.car. Litter information states that the
w0rk.train, after removing the distractions
left man secreted to watch the track. Soon
he saw two men come out OF the bushes and
place huge tie across the up track. HI
started after them and they ran. The super
lDtendent was soon on the spot, and the pay
car was stopped. The men gave chase, bu
failed to catch the rascals.

sion which some Of the press have received
from the report in the Herald of u converse.
ton with myself.
Personal considerations would not induce
me to speak; but, lest the comments which
| have seen in some OF the Democratic papers
should cause damage to the Democratic
party, beg to say that whoever inter-
prets me as advocating any other than
purely Democratic canvass, with Demo-
cratic platform, and the truest of Demo-
cratic candidates upon it, or as doubling the
probability OF Democratic success, misin-
terprets me.
1t is not necessary, hope, for me to say
that have not claimed any intimacy with
General Grant, nor 10 know anything what
ever of bis views or purposes from anything
that be has ever said 10 me for l have never
talked with him upon any party issues or
party programme of the past, the present. or

stood me. All I BOW say, or have said, is
that General Grant is cordial and courteous
to southern gentlemen, and my ideas of bis
purposes are based entirely upon observa-
ton.
With my thanks for the justice you have
sought to do me,

SENATOR JOHN f. LEWIS" Hon. John +.
Lewis, of Virginia, voted against the civil
rights bill last winter, yet his name is signed
to the address upon which we commented
yesterday. What says Mr.. Lewis, is this a
forgery, or has he changed ground !"-Dis-
patch.
The Dispatch should do Senator Lewis the
Justice to carefully read the address as it
came from the hands Of the committee, and
then, if it can, charge him with changing
ground. In canGor and justice, it cannot.
The committee do not, as they cannot, pledge
the Republican party to the passage OF the
civil-rights. bill (whatever may be its merits
or demerits) that IL now on the calendar of
the House. That Senator Lewis or any other
man who supported the Walker platform of
1869 should object to the sentiments Of the
committee on the question of civil rights
would be a just occasion for comment and
render him subject to ccnsure for having
"changed ground" 10 advocate and
defend the broad principles of civil
rights is one thing, to narrow them
down by final definition under statutory
enactments is quite another; and The Dis
patch cannot fail to see an equal difference
between the address of the committee and
the cNll"rlSnts plil. 1ue pIIucipies eu'
braced in the policy of civil rights are about
as ambiguous as those contained in the de-
cIarution that all men are born possessing
"the inalienabIe right to life, liberty, aud
the pursuit of happiness" But in either
case their exercise and their security have to
be provided for by the statutory law, which
cannot be obtained and would be without
value unless public sentiment sustained it
and had power to enforce 1t. The Dispatch
will see that Senator Lewis Is still true to q
principle, and has not changed ground. -
Eoening Journal.
So, then. we are to understand that not
only is Senator LEWIS still opposed to the
ciyil-rights bill, but tho Republican National
Executive Committee did not mean 10 pledge
