DISTRICT JUSTICE.

The removal of Judge Fisher from the
office of district attorney of The district of
Columbia came not one day too soon. In
deed, it was by far too long delayed. The
history of the administration of criminal
justice or rather the pretence of an at
tempt at its administration, has long been
u public scandal as well as shame and
disgrace to the nation. That The RESPONSE
bility for this prostitution OF the law, the
courts, and It's officers rests not alone on
Judge Fisher and his subordinates must be
evident to every one who has watched the
course of events in the national capitol
That responsibility must be shared by
others higher in authority than Fisher ever
was or ever hoped to be. Indeed without
the wilfull blindness, il not actual compl-
city, of the powers that be, such shame
less prostitution of the law and the officers
of the law would have been impossible
The public disclosures made at the time OF
the investigation of the affairs of the dis
trict by congress, and the scenes before, at
and after the celebrated conspiracy
trial, rendered it impossible for any one
to plead an honest ignorance of the course
of procedure in the courts of the district in
cases of notorious criminals who were sup
posed to be possessed of long purses or of
political influence. The Z" side shows" of
that trial, unfortunately, left the country
to infer that there wasno even the affecta-
ton of blindness, but such completely as
made it for the interest of certain high
officials that criminals of a certain class
should be protected not prosecuted, petted
not punished.
We refer to this conspiracy trial, because
the investigations instituted by District
Attorney Wells, Fishers successor, tend
to show, as the country has always believ-
ed, that the so called attempted ''safe
" burglary" was made with the direct con-.
nivance of that Office and that the rotten
ess which marked it was directly due to
the general corruption which permeated
the whole territorial government of the
district, to conceal which the conspiracy
was entered into. To illustrate. During
the past summer, a store, situated ON
Pennsylvania avenue, was robbed in the
daytime of a Sunday and large quantity
of goods taken thcrefrom. One Schneider
was arrested for the crime, and immediate
ly gave it to be understood that he could
make important disclosures relative TO the
conspiracy. Whereupon Harrington-hlm
who was tried for the conspiracy and dlned
with the president, by special invitation,
while on trlal--was sent for and, as the re-
suit of repeated conferences between Har-

The Haytien Difficulty.

Secretary Fish. according to Washing.
ton telegram, states that no trouble is ap-
pretended with the Government of Hayti.
in consequence of the hostile demonstration
recently made by mob in front of the
residence of the American Minister. The
trouble arose because Gen. Cannale, the
leader of the revolution, and few of his
followers, sought refuge in the house of
Minister Basseit, who declined to surren-
den the refugees. The action of Minister
Bassett was dictated by feelings of humanl-
~ rather than policy, IL being certain that
the refugees would have been summarily
executed had he surrendered them
In the Central and South American
States, where revolutions arc of frequent
occurrence, the right of asylum has long
been recognized by foreign governments as
well as the States themselves. Secretary
Fish thinks this doubtful policy, and long
ago instructed the American representa-
tives not to give it encouragement. In this
instance Cannale and his followers sought
refuge under the American Legation be-
cause it was convenient, and. having
gained it. Minister Bassett was reluctantly
compelled to shelter them.
Secretary Fish has succeeded IN persu-
aiding the Hayden government to grant
amnesty to Cannale and his followers, pro-
yided they leave the country, and the Uni
ted States steamer POwhatan has been or
dered to Haytl to take them off. Cannale
is still lodged at the American Legation.

The St. Adams Scandal.

The grand jury of Franklin county,
which closed their inquiries Tuesday, had
before it the scandal case of II ii. Hoyt
anu Mrs. Julian ii. Dewey, arising from
alleged improper advances by Hoyt to Mrs
Dewey, upon the discovery of which Hoyt
paid Mr.. Brigham, lawyer OF Boston and
brother and representatives of the lady, $lO,-
900 hush money. lie afterwards tried to
get Brigham indicted for blackmail, but the
grand jury have failed to find bill. The
failure OF the grand jury to indict Brigham,
and the payment of the hush money, has
created considerable excitement among the
community. What Mr.. Hoyt's next step
will be is yet to be seen.

Judge Redfeld has just rendered an inn
portant decision at the Washington county
court. One Levi II. Thomas, residing in
Michigan, was formerly a resident of
Waterbury and member of firm doing
business there. The firm, while he was
member, obtained a policy of insurance,
giving premium note, signed by the firm
name, on which there are assessments I'M
paid. Thomas, returning to Vermont on n
visit, was arrested on capias obtained
under our statute relating to absconding
debtors, and the justice who issued the
writ, ON healing, refused to discharge HIM.
A writ of habeas corpus was sued out, but
Judge Redfield refused to order his dis
charge, holding that the decision of JUS
tice of the peace, in such cases, could not
be reviewed or set aside on habeas corpus,
and that, although "they might seem some
what hard " on Thomas, as the proceed
ings were legal, so far as the record showed,
they must stand. The decision is undoubt-
eddy correct, but it affords another warning
that the people of Vermont are not sufii-
GENTLY careful in their selection of justices.
A capias may be sworn out, prejudiced
or ignorant justice may, as is often the
case, refuse to discharge the defendant,
and so he may be compelled to remain IN
jail for six or twelve months-the law af-
fords no relief, the justice has it all his own

An American Plimsoll Wanted.

The cry for an American Plimsoll, since
the disasters on the lakes. is gaining in
vigor, and the cry is backed up by some
ugly facts aud figures. Every year the
property destroyed on the lakes is counted
by millions and tbs lives lost by hundreds.
There are / .527 vessels Of all descriptions
registered on the lakes, Of which only ten
are rated as unseaworthy. Yet in 1868 the
vessels lost numbered 1l3. valued at $2,-
423, 800. with a loss of $50 people. The
losses of 1871 were double those of 1868,
and last year the destruction of property
was more than SO 600, 900, with hundreds
of lives last. The mischief Is in the prac-
tice Of insuring unseaworihy craft, thing
easy enough to accomplish in the condition
of our inspection service. After an old and
overloaded tub and her cargo are heavily
insured, the owners care little whether she
sinks or swims.-B Boston Transcript

has not been up to the general expectation
of the hard working managers of the affair,
much to the regret of the citizens Of Ches-

great pride in their model course. The
cause of the lack in the number of live

If Delano is.."whitewashed, " is authori-
