National Republican. (Washington City (D.C.)) 1872-1888, 1874-02-03

THE elections which occurred last Thursday
in the Dominion of Canada resulted in the de-
feat of the Conservatives and the triumph of
the Liberals. The question now uppermost in
TIE minds Of careful observers is: What will
tie Hacksnxie Goyernmeut DO with thslr VIC
tosya Ths Conservatives did not hssltate to
charge during the campaign that many of the
.s-tiss and leading Liberals were United statss
sidils sstonisss, Vine Others were Or svvern-
menf of tneh own suEirsly indepeniest Of
Great Britain. These views may now be kept
in the background, but it is alleged that they
have never been either repudiated or changed.
1t is most likely, however, that they were sim
ply electioneering devices, and that the Mac
kenzie Government win be as loyal to the
Crown as any other party. One Of the issues
Of the campaign was that of the abandonment
of the independent Canadian Pacific railroad
for cooperation with tho Northern Pacific
Company. The triumph of the Liberals may
therefore be justly considered of considerable
advantage to the latter project. The Liberals
are the party Of progress in the Dominion, and
will probably be found to comprise the energy,
pluck and enterprise which are necessary TO
carry out those projects for the full develop
ment of her resources which have long been
foreshadowed. - .

against him. The Herald says: :" 1T Is

young girl named Mary Pomeroy, who
recently died at Jersey City Heights, made
deposition just before her death, charging
that the Rev. John s. Glendenning, promi-
nent Presbyterian minister, had been the
cause Of her downfall from virtue Mr.. Glen
denning says he has documents that will
clear him from the charge, but IT is claimed
these documents were obtained by force and
threats from Miss Pomeroy.
Mr. Moulton has given To the public his fun
statement, originally prepared to be read be-
fore the Beecher Investigating Committee. A
synopsis Of and extracts from this statement

The Brooklyn Eagle Of the 22d publishes the
evidence given by Tilton's adopted daughter
Bessie before the Investigating Committee,
In which she accuses Tilton with attempting
her ruin She also speaks Of Mrs. Tilton as
being lovely Christian woman and devoted
wife and mother. In the course of her state
ment she says she once caught Susan b..
Anthony on Mr. Tilton's lap. Miss Anthony
has since Indignantly denied the truth OF the
story, regarding it as too absurd TO be worthy
OF further notice.
Henry Ward Beecber was at Concord, N.

by a person trained to the business, on a
sheet of thin paper, divided into col

between the two pages are written the
title of the work and the number of
chapter and page; when the sheet has
been printed it is folded down through
this space, SO as to bring the title, etc,

on account Of some supposed wrong done
them, and had manifested a strong intention
to kill two or three citizens and fire and sack
the town On the 25th sixteen OF the ring

Jail for safe keeping. On the morning OF the
26th from seventy-fse TO one hundred
masked men entered Trenton, rode up To the

KEYS to them. They then took the sixteen
negroes and killed six Of them at the edge OF

A Washington dispatch OF the Goth says
that Secretary Fish bad denied a report that
the Spanish Government had agreed to cede
to Germany the island OF Porto Rico, In con-
sideration for the recognition by that power
OF the Republic Of Spain. The Secretary de-
clares that the dispatches which led TO this
report are forgeries.
The Commissioner Of the General Land
Office at Washington has directed that regu-
lations respecting the final proof OF home
stead settlements In the grasshopper region
OF Iowa and Minnesota viii be so modified as
TO permit settlers TO go before their County
Court to make their dispositions instead OF
before the local land officers. This order Ii
made on representations Of reliable parties
that many settlers can III afford the expense
OF a long journey, especially in their present
impoverished condition.
A Washington dispatch Of the oath states
that I, had been asccrtained from reliable
source that Spain, instead OF investigating
the conduct Of those Of It's authorities who
had infringed ON Spanish laws or treaty obi
cations, with view TO the Furnishing OF those
who may have offended had made demand
Of indemnity In the affair Of the Virginius
and for other alleged wrongs suffered by
Spain owing TO flibustering expedi-
tions fitted out In this country and

dence which it is impossible to doubt
Among the thousands who have borne
testimony to its excellence there is not
one dissentient voice. In very many
phases of inorganic disease it seems to

remittent and intermittent fevers, rheu-
matism and dyspepsia. 1t purges the
body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone
to the system, and where the vital pow

to vigorous and healthy action All this
it does the more effectually because its
operation is not interfered with by the
presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR BIT

TEE C0sT or PETTY PROsECU.
TU0EE

We publish elsewhere an article on
this subject from the Dresden Demo-
cTGt' The heavy costs spoken Of, re-
sulting in no profit to the COMMUNITY,
are not. occasioned altogether by Attor-
neys General. In many counties these
officials find more serious work to hand
than they can do, and the small fry
escape. In less populous districts the
public attorneys can save the State a
great deal in the way suggested by the
Democrat, and men ought to be elected
who will do so. But the root of the
trouble lies deeper, and must be looked
for in the laws that allow such fruit
less expenditures. Our criminal code
is relic of ante-bellum times.
1t was made for a higher
state of society than the present.
A lower stratum has since been placed
under its operation for which il was
never intended. The negroes consti-
tute our lower classes. Before the war
their petty quarrels, thefts, ETC., were
left to their masters for punishment,
and did not come within the purview of
the law. The criminal code has been
extended vastly in its operation, with
out being accommodated to its new
work. The old laws that were enforced
against white Migrants cannot be en-
forced against negroes. If they were,
half the negroes of our towns and
cities would be called on to show some
visible means of support. The law
was made for a higher state of society
and we doubt the natural Justice
of enforcing such law on
negroes with rigor, because, after
all is said, they are Migrants by nature.
So all misdemeanors are graded too
high, and call for Judicial machinery
more cumbrous and costly than is nee
essary. The jurisdiction of magistrates
ought to be enlarged, and other means
devised to accommodate the criminal
to this new material that now comes
under it. The reform needed is a deli
cate one and will require elaboration to
mature it. In urging it, we must urge
caution also against going too fast or
making changes of sweeping charac--
We seek not mere change, but improve
ment. The judicial department is no
field for experimental legislation. The
safer plan is to remove evils as they be-
come obvious. The proftless expenses
now attending petty prosecutions is
such an evil.

amusement of the people.

In connection with the nomination
of Boss Shepherd, the Toledo BLADE
truly loyal makes bold to say that
the President "has, on different Occa-
sions, volunteered certificates of char
acter to public men who were resting
under popular condemnation, and he
has nominated such publicly condemned
persons to responsible positions against
the Judgment of the people. Two
such cases have occurred very recently.
We refer, of course, to ex-Secretary
Richardson and ex-Gov. Shepherd .
\ number of Republican journals have
been equally emphatic in cOndemning
this act of Grant. But it does not meet
the universal condemnation of the
party that it should. 1t was a great
outrage upon honesty and decency,
such as no other President would have
attempted.

The Mill River disaster, sweeping
one hundred and fifty mortals into
eternity at one gulp, may, after all,
be regarded as blessing In disguise.
1t has led to discovering the dangerous
weakness of a large number of other
dams. There is a dam near Worcester,
combining a body of water twice the
size of the Williamsburg reservoir,
which has been in a dangerous condi-
ton for eight years. 1t was condemned
six years ago and its removal ordered
by the county commissioners. The or
der is now likely to be enforced, for if
that dam bursts, the city of Worcester
will vanish.

THE Boston Journal, an exponent of
New England Republicanism, declares
that under no circumstances will the
Republicans of that section, either in
convention or at the polls, vote in favor
of Grant for a third term. The Nelo
York Herald expresses the opinion that
If Grant should be nominated for a
third term in 1876 the traditions of the
republic will become a more potent en-
envy to his election than all the corrup-
tions of the Republican party. in the
centennial year of American Independ-

be quoted by his antagonists with dead
