The Interest Accounts.

Mr.. EDITOR: Governor Chamberlain
has written his messages in public
spirit. He has Won the heart of tho
people. He is supported everywhere
by them. In his message after the re-
cess. he called especial attention to O
violation Of the Act of March II, 1874,
in the affairs of the peniseptiary. and
to something very like it in the affairs
Of another institution. The Governor
seems determined to impress upon his
administration the gravo importance
OF specific appropriation of specific
levies. He deplores and denounces
any variance from this principle. The
joint committee charge in their report
that Mr.. Cnrdozo has directly aud in
directly diverted very large amounts
of the fund devoted to pay interest on
the public debt. They do not agree
with the Treasurer, that he had right
to temporarily divert specific fund,
and the report says:
1.-The committee submit that the
construction put upon the Act by the
State Treasurer as justification for
his violation of it is as monstrous as
the violation ITSELF" and makes "a
IhoohoAy Va tho hCts WulCu pLOVlQ6H
that any diversion of the fund, whe-
ther directly or indirectly, shall be
felony" And in another place it says:
"As if his fragrant violation of the.law
in regard to the other funds justified
his fragrant violation of the law in re-
gard to the interest fund also"
This strong language leaves no mid
dle.ground between the Joint Com
mittee and Mr.. Oardozo. We sincerely
regret that such responsible commit.
toe should have found it necessary to
nse snoh language. rhey leave no
middle-ground for us to stand upon.
The Conservatives and the Republicans
will be glad TO sustain Mr.. Oardozo, if
the Joint Committee fell to make good
these assertions. We cannot allow
our sympathies to interfere with our
judgment. when hundreds OF thou
sands Of dollars belonging to the State
are involved. This committee declare,
efse. nenoh Investigation, that the
public saHias hase sbesh misapplied,
and the law, which the Governor
thinks isg the eoAhees-nnohor of our
prosperity. haa 'been Ifiqgsantly VIC.
lated. We earnestly hope that the
Treasuyer will be able to show that
the committee is' fsgrantly mistaken. !.

The proper punishment of Jesse
Pomeroy, the Boston ohild-mnrderer,
presents problem for which it is hard
to find satisfactory solution. He has
been convicted of murder in the first
degree aud sentenced to be hung, but
humanity will revolt at the execution
OF such mere child, and this feeling
will be strengthened by the doubt
whether his atrooious acts wers not
committed under uncomfortable i'm.
pulses. Still. he has been pronounced
wholly sane. and undoubtedly is not O
safe person to allow to live. As pri-
soner, he will always be regarded as
dangerous, and sooner or later will, in
all probability. force society to put him
to death as the only way OF keeping
him from fresh deeds of murder. Still,
there is aomething 40 revolving in the
idea Of hanging boy, that the expe-
riment. OF endeavoring to subject him
to 80 close confinement as TO render
the residue OF his life harmless will
probably be tried. .5+
