recent decision of the supreme court of Viz
gina has revived the saying Of a former dis
fnguiShed law professor of that state that
''the courts almost always decide i'm favor of
the state" The Richmond Dispatch saws
upon this point:

courts both in England and i'm this country

This may he true in regard TO England
where the crown l. supreme and loyalty toitS

with our present Supreme Court or its pre-
deceSSOrs. The only bias we NAV accord Tn
them is that which is necessary to the carry

The late railroad accident suggests a very
pertinent question for a juror upon an inquest
in case of fatality. A neglected switch is the
cause of the accident: the switchnnan Is sup
posed to be "a very reliable and responsible
person .'HOw much do you pay your
switchman:" might Well and properly be
asked. lily paid employees are as a rule
irresponsible, and TO place such in a position
where their vigilance, knowledge of their
duties, and unremitting attention to them,
involve the lives OF many persons would be
criminal on the part Of the corporation plac-
ing them there; almost as much 80 as on the
part OF the negligent emplOye. a man should
b. paid according TO the measure OF his re-
spOnSibiity and then held strictly up to il.

IL seems hard that Irwin. who was the
agent of the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany. should be sent to Jail for not telling all
he knows. while other fellows who were the
agents Of Irwin, or Ofthe company direct, and
whose fingers are smirched with the same
pitch, should be at liberty under the thin
plea that they are lawyers. That plea may
have It's technical effect with Congressman,
who don't want all the facts to come out, but
ii has no weight in the mind OF the public
The "fee>" were out Of all proportion to the
''services" rendered. The people have made
up their mind on this point, and the disguise
of relation existing between counsel and
client don't deceive them.

4 LTNdTTC CAMPAIGN.

The present campaign in Ohio is in many
respects different from any ever before seen In
our history. In every previous contest there
has been some pretense at least on e3ch side
that the principles it protested and the ,bjects
for which it was stirring were IN accordance
with law and common sense, and that its suc-
cess would be for the general welfare. Hitherto
there have always been two sides to qucs-
ton, and men of sense and character have
been able to sustain their party platform III
debate with some appearance of logic and
self-respect. But there is no pretense of such
a state of things in Ohio at this moment
The Republican speakers talk to great
crowds of the principles of finance and
of common honesty established for CEN
turtles by tho universal consent of the
civilized world. They deal in axiOms rs inds-
putable as any elementary rule of arithmetic
They are driven by the lunacy of their Oppo
nents to deliberately proving that two and two
make four On the other side these demon
STATIONS are treated with contempt. They
cannot be answered, and there is no effort
to answer them. The initiation spouters do not
waste time in discussing principles. Gov.
Allen, with that frank and cOnceied ignorance
of his which has made him the favOrite of the
most stupid section of the Democratic party,
does not even care to consider an argument
addressed to bis intelligence. He roars out,
Don't talk to me about principles or
"theOries. The times are too hard for
chat. Theories won't fill a working
"man's bely.r And his crowds answer
with rapturOus plaudits. In this absurd old
mans progress through the State he has made
nearly fifty speeches-a prodigiOus proof of
physical strength in one of his age, which is
enough to set at rest the fears of the Repub-
leans That he may not live through his term.
All these speeches have been exactly alike
there Is not an argument, not an appeal to
honesty or intelligence in one of them. They
all resemble the rollicking roaring talk Of an
ignorant lOafer before a bar-roOm fire, who
gives his opinion between drinks on science,
religion, and government, from the point of
view of his own momentary within, without
the slightest regard for law for fact, or for
moral sense. As long as he hears an occasional
"That's so, jake or :" Go for 'em, Billy" his
vOlublc tiIdde goes on, without gmmcr of
Conference or responsibility. Yet this sort of
gable made Mr.. Allen Governor of one of the
greatest Commonwealth Of the Union, and he
fully expects to be reelected by it.
All the talking on his side is of the same
amazing kind. 1t is humiliating to have to
mention such n mountebank as Cary, but as
he is the principal speaker in this campaign
il becomes serious matter to consider what
possible depth Of ignorance and dishonesty he
represents. In his speech in Cleveland the
other day he said the Government should issue
money enough to give every man and woman
in the country all the work they wanted at
good prices Nothing SO crazy this was ever
uttered in the national ateliers of Paris during
til, midsummer madness Of the days Of
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1875-09-20
TIE THO PLATFORMS.

The Republican and Democratic platforms of
this State agree so nearly in all their most I'M
poltant points that a stranger to our politics
would hardly imagine them to be the declara-
tons of two rival parties. So far as any prin-
ciple is concerned there is really no contradic-
lion whatever between them. Both condemn
imitation of the currency and declare against q
third term. Both approve the campaign against
The Canal thieves. Both demand administrative
reform, economy and equal taxation. The Re-
pnblicans recommend new departure in their
Southern policy; the Democrats Offset this by
insisting upon home rule and limitation of
the Federal powers. In the Syracuse platform
we find repetition of the Democratic cry
for revenue tariff, which nobody just
now thinks of framing, and ut Saratoga on
the other hand there was vigorous defense
OF the common school system which nobody is
attacking If there is nothing in the Rcpubli-
can platform corresponding TO the sensible
Democratic utteranccs on the subjects of q
free press official accOuntab ilty, the superviS-
ion OF corporations, and party responsibility,
there is no direct conflict On these points, and
there are perhaps one or two resolutions such
as that relating TO reform il the Legislature,
which the Republicans have made stronger
than their opponents. In several particulars
however the Syracuse document is the more
satisfactory of the two:
/. First IN regard to the finances. The Re
publicans declare further initiation of the cur
"Icncy under any circumstances whatever
-. . a public calamity" and demand :" the
&" spoediest possible return to specie payments
This is very good, so far as it goes. But il
does not commit the party to any measure OF
currency reform; it leaves us to infer an ap-
prevail Of the currency juggle of the last Con
grces. and TO drift fuI Their and further away
from resumption simply by doing nothing. The
Democrats, driven by the rascality of their party
in Pennsylvania and Ohio TO "a more emphatic
mode Of speech. denounce Reputation in
"evcry form and gtIise" with refreshing vehe-
mence, propose to take "steady steps towards
"spcclc payments" and to make gold and
"silver the only legal tender" and moreover
put forth the very important declaration of
belief that the volume Of the currency is
already excessive. On the financial question,
