LOST AND Found. The right Of property 10
articles found aslray, suggests til. New York
Journal OF Commerce, is one that needs bet
Ter defuiton than that which seems to DE COM
mouiy accepted 1t is not the thief alone who
asserts this title 4 rickpucket who Is not
taken in the act will always excuse his posses
sou Of the stolen property BY the stale plea
that be found it, But many very respectable
people acquire the assets OF aoother by means
almost a. questionable, and retain the acquisi-
ton without blush of shame. The finder of a
purse or other valuable ip the street will often
clutch it as eagerly as if it were really his by
right of original discovery, and will take 40
pains whatever to trace the owner. This is
little better than absolute theft; and yet the
retention oil such astrays is so common that to
have found" an article of value and to have
earned its equivalent oy houest enterprise or
labor are considered by many as equally honor
able, eutitog the holder to an undis,urbed en-
joyment of the benefit. The proper course is
always to promptly advertise such fudlDg.

SIGNING PETITIONS Que of the most learn
ed Of Virginia S sons once said that ANY fool
could give reference. We are very much TO-
cned to adopt his language and say, that any
fool can get petition signed. We fear people
do not give sufficient attention to the docu
ments they are almost daily requested to put
their names to, or think for moment Of the
probable effect of their signatures upon their
own interests. In this democratic country,
where the wishes Of the people are taken as
law, men should be very careful how they
throw the responsibility of their actions upon
those who are TO execute that law. Indeed,
we do not know but that petitions, under the
loose system 10 which they are gotten up,
should be entirely disregarded by the guardians
of the interests Of the people, even though it may
be apparent that majority of said people have
thus expressed their will. What means have
you of knowing that a, B, or G, read the paper
he was asked to sign or gave 1t one moment $
thought Noue whatever; and the experience of
every one is that they have frequently placed
their names to papers simply because they were
requested to do so, and III many instances have
had cause to regret it. This is serious evil,
aud we see no remedy except that the servants
of the people should disregard this form of
public expression, which, after all, is, in nine
cases out of ten, an individual making a cat 5
paw of the public. Let us drop this petition

The Beecher trial proper has now fairly
begun. The investigation by the committee
of Plymouth church WAS not trial in any
true sense of the word, it's result being prede-
termined but it served, at least, to present
much of the testimony to the public. The
trial by newspapers was somewhat more to the
purpose; but as they had no power to compel
witnesses to testify under oath, and as they
were divided in opinion, no decision could
be obtained. Thus, after all, we see that
regular courts OF law are Of some use, for
even if they do not always rightly settle cases
such as this they settle Them and that is q
blessing to society, even if it is hard on one
with able counsel on both Sides o wise judge
and a plain issue, the public has the right to
expect that the question will not only be set
tied permanently. but that it will be settled
justly.
The time of the Court yesterday was occu-
pied in selecting jurymen. Eight were
agreed to, but one of them has since been i'm
peached for having expressed decided opin-
ion. The examination of the various candi-
dates for the jury box is presented elsewhere
in full, aud Will be found interesting and in
structive reading We must admire, not only
the ingenuity Of the lawyers, but the ingenu-
business of the candidates. That eight men
have been found IN Brooklyn who are able to
give an impartial verdict as between Mr. Til
ton and MIR. Beecher is wonder only ex-
ceeded by the marvel that the counsel expect
to find four others who are equally impartial
or ignorant.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1875-01-07

The strongest point yet made in the Louis
lana discussion on behalf of the Kellogg gov
eminent and the extraordinary acts of General
Sheridan is tersely presented by Congressman
Phelps in an interview accorded to news
paper correspondent This organization, he
contends, was illegal for the reason that
Louisiana has statute, passed in 1872, which
in terms directs the manner in which the
House shall organize itself. "The Returning
Board" says Mr. Phelps, 'hands its returns
to the Secretary Of State. The Secretary OF
State takes these returns and from them makes
the roll of the House. This roll is gwen to
the Clerk OF the last House, and with this
roll the Clerk calls the House to order
and presdes at the organization. That
nothing may be taken by intendment
the statute says in 50 many words that
Representatives whose names are on this roll,
and they only, shall take part in the organiza-
ton Of the House, but yesterday the con-
servatives, forcibly supplying the place of the
Clerk by chairman pro ternpore, in defiance
of this express provision, swore in five men
as members whose names were not on the roll
and admitted them to participate in the cleo
ton of Speaker Mr.. Phelps had heard that
the republicans had organized their Legisla-
ture in the same fashion and thus set prece-
dent, but doubted the propriety of urging that
q democrat might break the law if he could
prove republican had broken it. Besides,
it was claimed that the republican Legislature
in question was organized previous to the pas
sage Of the statute referred to. This statute
was OF 1872; that Legislature was Of 1868.
We present this point because it is the only
one that has been advanced as an excuse for
the interference of the military There can
be no doubt, as Mr.. Phelps says, that the
conservatives violated an express law in their
action, o law as binding upon them as upon
their opponents. In doing this they threw
faint upon cause that would otherwise have
been irreproaohable. For, if this body was
not organized according to law, then the
point may be made that it was only mob.
But even if it was mob it did not justify the
acts of the soldiery. If the House was organ
lied illegally the remedy was in the courts.
We might as we'll have invited the interference
of the federal troops when Callicot was made
Speaker of our New York Assembly, or when
we have, as we do on so many occasions,
internal wrangles in State Legislatures.
The argument presented by MIR. Phelps in
no way excuses the military usurpation. If
this is the only ground upon which it can be
justified we cannot help feeling that the adj
ministration has committed an offence against
the constitution that should be severely con-
demned by Congress, even to the extent of
impeachment
