Total Depravity.

Judge LindemanI, after hearing the
testimony in the case of j. W. Edwards,
boatman, who lives with his wife on one
OF those little foating houses SO common
on the river, and who, some days ago,
was arrested on the charge of attempt-
ing to commit rape upon the person Of
Bertha Walters, aged twelve years,
remarked that he has had before
him all kinds of criminal cases known
to the calendar; but this one. from its
disgusting details, and the exhibition OF
human passion run mad, as disclosed BY
the testimony, would exceed any thing
that ever came to his NOTICE. Since the
original charge was made against Ed
wards by the little girls friends, there
have been other cases brought to the at.
tention ofthe officers. ,
Three other little girls came forward
and testified on oath ofhis improper conf
duct towards them, and one Of them,
Maggie Fitzgerald, charges him With
rape, committed while she was occupy
ing bed with Edwards and his wife.
The testimony .elicited in the examin'
alton are too disgusting for detail. The
villain has been bound over to the Com;
mon Pleas and placed under $500
bonds.

Report of the Secretary of War,

The Secretary OF War opens his re-
port by announcing marked improve.
ment in the morale of the service.
The desertions for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1874. were 1905; Of re-en-
listments, 900; the number of sergeants
re-enlisted, 149. The desertions for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1875, were q
b12; establishments, 1885; sergeants re-
enlisted, BAT. No better evidence can be
furnished of the improved condition Of
the service than by presentation of the
foregoing figures.
he then regrets the presence of mar
ried men in the service, as 1t is both in
furious to military discipline and to their
families.
The work on new buildings and Gov
ernment Cemeteries is then reviewed,
/ and o statement made of the aid fur
nished by this Department..
He next says: l again call the atten-
ton of Congress to the recommendation
contained In my last annual report for
the enactment of a system of annuities
for the families of deceased officers, by
voluntary deductions from the monthly
pay Of those holding commissions In the
army. Certainly II private companies

Treasury. Itis argued that the money

the proposed scheme Is worth to the
Government certain per centage of in

of probabilities has reached great preci-

life insurance, but after certain tables
had been used twenty years, more or

were found deficient, which would more
perfectly accomplish the object OF the
scheme, viz the rendering ,0fsubstantial
assistance to the families of deceased
officers OF the army, without actual ex-
pense to the Government. ~

Death ON Lodge Alley.

A colored woman by the name Of Mar
tina Fore, who has been suffering for a
long time with the consumption, was
found dead in her bed this morning, at
her home on Lodge alley, near Sixth
street. The neighbors and acquaint-
ances of Martha have taken up the idea,
from some reason or other, that her
death was brought about by medicines
administered by some quaek, whose
name they refuse to give until the in-
quest is held. The Coroner was notified,
and will probably hold an inquest this
afternoon.

THE New York Herald double loaded
arn-yard organ Of the Central Park wild
beasts, and Tom Allen, the prize-fghter,
refers to the latter as statesman, and ex-
tolls him as an "ex-pounder of the consti-
tuition" The wit which is dimly discov-
cred in this allusion is borrowed. and the
pun is as old as the hills. The circum-
stances when the Herald will discover that
the reading public is simply disguised with
its attempts to be funny over the imaginary
or real acts of wild beasts, are not likely to
arise. MIR" Allen, as it calls him, retires
from the ring with better reputation as
regards respectability than many of the
writers for the Herald ever will enjoy. He
may be a rough, as the public estimates
such man, but he has had independence

National Republican., 1875-06-23

BY SOME strange error, Nordhot, the
Southern correspondent Of the barn-yard
organ of the Central Park wild beasts, ad-
mitted bit of truth into one of his Ala
bama letters. He affirms that the debt of
that State has increased faster under Demo
cratic than Republican administrations.
This fact has frequently been demonstrated
in these columns; but the Opposition press
has ignored it just as they do now that it
appears in Mr.. Nordhof's letters. The
truth is that, regardless of truth or de-
cency, the Detective press seeks only to
defame the Republicans Of the South, and
persistently refuses to give them credit
when credit is due to them. The especial
wonder is that the Herald allowed its
Wandering Jew" to make this tardy &C
knowledgment of well-established fact.
