NO people were ever more WltluUJ /

who are forming White Leagues and TO-
menting strife with the freedmen Their
course is passing strange. All considera-

tircly different line Of action. The South |
is poor, its business is depressed its vast

fights upon the freedmen, these everlasting |
turmols and ccascless outbreaks, whore the |
negro always comes out second best, and
where the Trustworthy evidence shows that
he is far from being the aggressor, are
keeping out capital and designating labor.
Hundreds Of northern men have visited the

The lunacy Of this unfortunate young
parricide, has been recently established by
competent medical investigation to be real
and not feigned, as has been asserted, 10 or.
der to facilitate his removal from prison,
and in accordance herewith be has been
removed to the New York State Asylum at
Auburn. Last December, the State Com.
missioner Of Lunacy, DR.. Ordronaux, re-.
ported him as an epieptic patient, aud recon.
mended bis removal from the shop where
he bad been laboring to the hospital, where
light employment in nursing was assigned
him. For a time the change was beneficial,
but for the last few months he has become
very thin, and his epileptic symptoms in.
creased to such an extent that he was rap
idly falling into dementcd state bordering
on hiccy, and his removal TO the insane
asy lum was accordingly decided upon, after
a rigid examination by Doctors Ordronaux,
Button and Wilkic. II is therefore char.
tably to be supposed that whom he CON.
mitted the horrible crime Of numbering bis
father, his weak mind was already partially
diseased, aud that aggravated by his fathers
tl.trcatmont Of his mother, his moral iudg.
mcnt had become obscurcd, and be believed
himself called upon for the performanc Of q
heroic action, ia taking the life Of his pa
rent. The strong aud uncontrolled passion
Of both Of his parents, as demonstrated
upon bis trial, would naturally have tend.
ency to insanity in their offspring, particu
/ larry il efforts TO overcome the inherently
evil mental traits were unsuccessful, which
was the case with Frank Walwor,h, as with
both his father and mother, all three being
indeed miserable for life, from absence Of
proper discipline in youth, and from being
educated in the mistaken idea that, as they
were Of very aristocratic lineage, they were
not subject to the same moral law as ordiu
airy mortals Of plebian birth.
Some Of the Republican representative
from Pennsylvania voted during the las
session in favor Of initiation. But when til,
Republican Convention Of the State met OF
Wednesday, it declared in favor Of specie
payments as soon as practicable Thus W
have another illustration that though tn
representatives, Of the party may sometime
make mistakes, when the sentiment Of th
whole body is pronounced il is almost in
variably on the right side. And we d
not look to Pennsylvania for the best ex
pressons, either. In other words, the gen
oral tone Of the Republican party is highe
than its representation serving to presery
the latter at the true standard when
might otherwise fall, and to restore
, whore there has been derclictiou. Sue
; a party is worthy Of trust, because, thong
= it is liable to betrayal, as other partiC
have been, aud are, yet it has a sayin
0 force. Is this true Of the Democrat
party? Is its character higher than il
representation If its representatives, fai
g as they so often have done, can we turn t
4, the heart of the party and feel that it ha
the virtue aud the vitality to correct tn
{ evil ?

UNDER our City city charter the
City Marshal his deputies and
policemen are expressly prohibited
from receiving any fees for the ar
rest Of persons charged with viola
lions OF the city ordinances. This
provision was incorporated in the
charter for the purpose of prevent
ing indiscriminate arrests by the
police with the sole view of pocket
ing the fees. We are informed that
Marshal Snowden has originated an.
ingenious device for eyading this
wholesom law.
Instead of appointing Mr.. Charles
Simpson as his deputy, as per cleo
pioneering contract, the crafty Mar
shall has had him appointed as Con-
stable. In that official capacity he
is permitted to wait upon the police
court. Nothing binders him from
collecting a handsome dividend
through that court from the unfor-
tunate victims who happen to incur
the penalties and have the means to
pay up. ME -I
Now against this imposition the
BEE would respectfully protest. 1t
is an unmitigated piece of sculdug-
gerry that ought to be discounten-
anced, because it is in direct con-
aict with the spirit If not with the
letter of the charter.
Marshal Snowden needs a dep
uty, why hesitate about appointing
him? If a Deputy Marshal is not
needed, then Let the Marshal either
wait upon the Police Court in per-
son or detail a police officer for that
purpose. Under any circumstances
the present system of constabulary
fee grabbing should at once be dis
continued.
