Just where B lrrett is now is not very clear,
though he is believed TO be prowling around
in this city, hiding fFom the police, noiwith-
standing he has in hl pocket an appointment
from Attorney General Pienepont
We understand that there nay be occasions
when the employment of rogue to catch
rogue is excusahle, but this sort OF business
is generally relocated to the police authorities,
and that the highest law officer IN the United
States should not only coudescend to employ
this fellow Barrett, but attempt TO screen him
from tile officers Of the law, is, we take it,
simpIy shameful. The following frst-ciass
notice OF the scamp is from the Courier

Col. John r. Barrett who was commissioned
The other day by Attorney General Plerfepont
to 90 to New Orleans and investigate the
whisky and cotton frauds, seems to be an
other brilliant specimen of what IS now known
as the "Grant group" The Superintendent
Of Police at New Orleans, on Barrett's arrival,
gave orders to his force to watch him as
dangerous and suspicious character, and the
Attorney General learning of this sent Word
that he should be projected by the federaI
authorities The appointment OF barrett on
such responsible mission is disgrace to the
Administration, but it is in keeping with
President Grants singular prediction for
disreputable characters The Albany n. y. }

such an appointment, and thus tells what
it knows about Barrett:
Col John T. Barrett figured somewhat no.
toriously in this city few years ago. lie was
discharged from the Department of Public
instruction, where he was for some time en-
ployed as clerk, for theft THEREAFTER he
victimized several Of our citizens, and, things
becoming too hot for him here, he went
West and swindled people in Rochester,
Buffalo and elsewhere. Then he went to New
York and for some time lived by matchmaking
and swindling operations. Finally he brought
up in New Orleans, where, from having been
q vehement Democrat, he suddenly became a
violent Republican, obtained the confidence
Of one Of Loui7iana's carpet-bag Governors,
and swelled out into good deal Of seeming
importance.

Senator 1Iorton's attempt to unfurl the
bloody shirt again and to get the crank back
on the dilapidated old outrage mill does not
create much of "a sensation. He ges very little
support from any quarter. Even SO firm a
Republican journal as the Boston Advertiser
demonstrates with him as follows: 1.-The Sem
ate is threatened with a long debate on the
politics of Mississippi, if Senator Morton
presses his motion to a vote. 1t seems as if
the time had GENE when Congress could afford
to leave the States to settle their internal
affairs in their own way. If there was fraudu-
lent voting in Mississippi, of which there is
strong presumptive proof the courts in that
State are the proper tribunals to hear and pass
upon the evidence
Senator Morton appeals to the rrecedents,
OF which there are, unhappny, too many.
For at least eight years Congress has assumed
authority to interfere, upon one pretext or
another, so that parties have been kept in a
wholly unnatural condition, taking under
handed advantage of one another, assn ed
that if any mischief resulted the General
Government would get them out of difficulty.
Setting the constitutional bearings Of the sub
iect altogether aside, the practice is bad fol-
the government and demoraiz ng to the peo
pie. Let us hope the new Congress will re-
form it altogether. N y. Iribtme

ly killed on Saturday afternoon by falling from
wood pile and breaking his neck, appeared at the
breakfast table Of his boarding house. the Farm
er's Hotel, at Worcester Mass, Tuesday morn
ing, apparently in his usual health. The wood
pile from which Bates fell was but about four feet
high. He had just picked up handful of wood
and was turning to throw it into the locomotive

TWEEU.S RELEASE.

The decision of the Court of Appeals il
the case of Tweed, the great public rob
Der of New York, releases him from the
penitentiary. The point made hy hi;
counsel was that he had been tried only
on one indictment and could be sentenced
only for single term, that the sentences
subsequent to the first were illegal ans
void, and as he had served out the tern
of the first sentence ne was Illegally con
fined in prison. In this view OF the cast
the Judges unanimously agreed, and thei
opinion appears to be sustained by thu
best legal wisdom of the State. While
therefore the public feeling is that Tweed
deserves to be kept in prison the full
length of time required by the united SEN
fences, there is yet acquescence in the de-
cision Of the court because it is undoubt
eddy in accordance with the law.
But the release of Tweed from prison
does not insure him absolute release from
confinement lie will be at once arrested
again on a civil suit and only exchange
the penitentiary for the Jail. $50 Tar as
Tweed himself is concerned" says the
Tribune, "there is perhaps less reason to
lament the issue of the case than might at
first sight be supposed. His discharge
from the penitentiary does not imply his
restoration to freedom. He will be re-
arrested on civil process before he leaves
the Island, and as there is not the slightest
probability of his obtaining the $4,000
bail that will be demanded, he must 60 to
Jail to await the suits of the State for the
recovery of the stolen money. There are
other indictments against him which per-
haps may still be tried. After all, though
release from the degradation of Black
wells Island is great boon for the
wretched old man, the prospect Of liberty
and ease is long way off. For the pres
ent at any rate he merely steps from one
cell to another, and pays good round
price for the change and if he is ever re-
stored to the free air and sunshine he will
probably find himself a beggar, his home
despoied, his old associates scattered, and
his friends ashamed 10 own him."
