Governor Hartr:lnft, Of Pennsylvania, is a
striking instance of the injustice so often ntlic-
ted by the indiscriminate attacks of partisan
newspapers upon public men. When he was
nominated for the Office which he now holds he
was abused AMI DETAINED to an extent that had
no limit inside of decency OF truth. He was
accused of being the mere creature of Il ring, of
having acted dishonesty in the position of
Auditor of the State. which he then held, and
as being put ior1'arl as the instrument of those
who contemplated further frauds upon the State.
Notwithstanding all this he was elected and has
been so upright, faithful and able in the dis
charge of his official luties that even his oppo-
nents now join in declaring him to be All ex-
cellent Governor and a model official. As for
his political fiends their estimate is expressed
in a unanimous intention to renominate him,
and firm belief that he cannot be beaten.-
And they are probably right, for notwithstan-
ding he decentralization of politics really
hopcst and able public officer finds that the
people remember his good deeds when they
render their verdict at the polls.

REMARKABLE TRIAL.-A murderer has just
been tried and sentenced under the new law OF
Connecticut, which allows ma,i to elect whetil-
err lie will be tried by a Jury or by two judges,
The accused, who was charged with the muir
der of young girl to whom he was engaged to
be married, elected to be tried by judges, and
by them was found to be guilty of murder in
the second degree, anil sentenced to imprison-
ment for life. The new law seems to be just,
and appears to work well. Where two judges
act as the jury, there is little opportunity for
trckery or evasion, and a general certainty OF
securing justice. In such cases, too, an appeal
Is improbable, and case may be regarded as
definitely settled. The working Of the new
law may prove so beneficial as to deserve imi-
tation in our own State. 1t certainly will pro-
tect an innocent man from the unthinking
clamor of the popu'ace.
The introduction of this novel way of attain
ing the ends OF justice would, of course. alol
ish the jury system, which, for over one thous-
and years, has been considered the most eql,it
able and impartial mode Of procedure, and
which, in the semi-barbaric days Of its origin,
wrought such a reform in the morals OF the
people that robberies were almost unknown,
and other vioations OF law few and far be-
t.een. BY lis introduction, Alfred the Great,
purified tie corruptions of his day, and since
then it has descended down through the long
valley of ages and in all time has been recog-
nized as the most impartial manner for the adj
mnistration Of justice. But this is a country
of progress, and precedent has been held in
little reverence since the dawn Of its discov-
cry.

All doubts as to the future policy of Spain
toward Cuba may be considered settled by the
arrival at Havana OF Valmaseda, the new Cap
tain General Of the island. The course OF this
brutal soldier during his former term OF office
in Cuba, was characterized by every form of
cruelty and indebtedness. His infamous de-
crees were designed to eradicate the rebellion
by extirpating the rebels, their relatives. asso-
ciates, and friends. At the close OF his Adj
ministration, in 1872 the Spanish Government
admitted that 43, so: prisoners had been put to
death. Valnlaseda demanded, as condition
of his acceptance Of the govern ment OF Cuba
for second lime, that he should have another
army for the suppression OF the rebellion. 4
reinforcement of one thousand men arrived at
Havana with him. We must suppose that his re
quests to be fully granted.

CONFLICT WITH A PANTHER Friday
night Mr.. John K. Markill, Of Norfolk, St.
Lawrence county, New York, returned home
late, having been detained by STERN, and 60
ing out some time after to care for his team was
just in the act of opening his stable door when
he was seized from behind by panther, which
attempted to grapple his throat, and he was
carried to the ground, falling on his back. So
sudden was the attack that for moment Mr.
MARKELL was partly stunned, but quickly reali-
zing his danger he attempted to draw his jack
knife, at The same time calling loudly for help.
In the meantime the animal had fastened his
jaws OH the side of his victims neck, but ow~
ing to the heavy collar of Mr.. Markill's coat,
which was fortunately turned mp, and fur
collar around his neck, the animals teeth did
not penetrate the flesh, although the pressure,
as described by Mr.. Markill, was such as to al
most entirely prevent his breathing. His alarm
brought to his assistance very soon large and
ferocious d. g, which at once fastened on the
threat Of the formidable foe. The animal then
turned on his new antagonist, and for a mo-
merit a terrific battle ensued After proong-
ed struggle, Mr.. Markill succeeded in conquer
ing the animal with Il pitcllfork and the dogs
help. The panther measured from tip to tip

The Woes Of a Sewing Machine Man.
[From the New Orleans Times, Feb. ss.l

He looked detected, that man, just about as
happy as if he had stuck a nail in his foot, or
had a good-szed bone in his threat. mex
pressable misery was depicted on every Inca
ment OF his face, yet his words We're cheerful,
when lie entered Central station last evening
and inquired for detective. Then he had lost
something of value was evident, but the full
extent of his bereavement was not then appar-
ent. In reply to the business-like interrogato-
ries Of the officer, he spoke thus; ''Once was
happy, but now am not so much so as was.
But 4 few short months ago | married. and
with what ccstacy did contemplate the joys
OF matrimony! but also found it was only a
wbitened sepulchre. My business is, or was,
that of sewing machine man, but commani-
ty of creditors and Justices court now stare
me in the face. am a bankrupt, a moneyless
man. Woe is me!''
Here his voice was suppressed, and he chok-
ed with emotion on quid of tobacco, which he
accidentally swallowed.

but old in the ways of this wicked world
She said she loved me and believed her.
Trustingly contided to her all my money and

when she became cold and stern. My tender
carresses were repealed. and l was plunged in

Proper instructions were given him, his case
taken in hand, and ere long news may be ex-
pected from the Grant wife and the 1aiicenied
goods and chattels. Who knows but like the
prodigal sun of a gun, decended in Il straight
line from good Stock, his wife may fly to his
arms, expecting him to assassinate a fatted
porker. But he says he won't and that settles
it.

We give up considerable space in
to-day's issue of the LEADER, to mat
tiers relating to railroad connection
with Montana. We are interested in
the subject, and, as it seems to us, a
connection from this point north west
erly to Helena, will be of more value
to that Territory than with Bismarck
or the Central Pacific, the people up
there should keep this important fact
in mind. The route would be through
an excellent country, and wonld not
be interfered with by snow storms in
Winter. Two competing railroads
from the East meet here, and this fact
will prevent exorbitant fares and
freights. One or the other of these
roads will, most likely, take an active
part in pushing a branch or extension
through into Montana if properly en-
outraged. Either of these roads has
the necessary rolling stock, to operate
such7a road us soon as it may be COM
pleted.
