at least for an honest prosecution.
We must warn our readers however not 10
be too sang1iine of q better result from inc
second trial than followed from the first. Inc
influences of the District Ring in Washington
are strong and far reaching. 1t will not be
easy to find jury which the Ring cannot ma
nipulate, even if it should be possible to be
sure of the independence of the prosecution
There is moreover no doubt that the consplr-
ators have diligently employed the past two
years in destroying all tho evidence they couid
reach. The witnesses now available, 80 far az
we know anything about them, will need a
great deal of confederation before it will be
possible to convict anybody on their tesu-
mony, although they may satisfy the puDilc
that they tell the truth. Nevertheless an ear
nest and ntrammeled prosecution will vlndi-
cate the outraged majesty of justice whatever
the fate of the prisoners. That after all is the
main thing needed. Tie moral effect OF iair
trial is worth more to us than the punishment
of two or three miserable criminals.

TIE CHARITIES or THE MERCHANT
DPI\TE


Mr.. A. II. Stewart, popularity supposed to be
one of the three wealthiest men In the Western
Hemisphere, and the wcathiest merchant in
the United States if not in the world, died on
last Monday, the 10th inst. He was buried on
last Thursday, the 18th inst. On last Friday
afternoon his Will was filed in the Office
Of the Surrogate. Its essential provisions
were two. First, it left his estate to his wife.
Secondly, it appointed Judge Henry Hilton to
act for him Gin managing, closing, and wind
." ing up his partnership business and affairs"
directing the Judge "wilc SO acting to exercise
"a sound discretion in bringing his partnership
affairs to a termination, and dscharging all
"ObligatiOns connected herewith" For
(which service" he gave to Judge Hilton one
million of dollars. While the late merchant
prince still lay robed for tho grave in
his house on Fifth-ave., an inyen-
tory of his property, and especially
of the goods in his stores, was taken, the
amount, according to current but perhaps in
accurate report, being found to be something
like twenty five millions of dollars. On Good
Friday, the day after the funeral, his widow
sold the ent re property, only excepting the real
estate in Ncw-York City, to Judge Hilton him
self. receiving in payment the million of dol
llrs which the dead man had left the Judge
for his service Sin managing, closing, and
"winding up the partnership business and
Affairs
This is rapid succession of important
events The business transactions are of n
gigantic magnitude, and on their face, seem
of so extraordinary nature that it is impos-
sible to accept them rs cmb0dying the whole
case, or as a possible finality. They arc OBJ
served by the people OF New-YOrk with the
keen interest of lcgatees.
For there was given to the public, with the
will, and by the authority of tie widow and
heir, letter from Mr.. Stewart to his
wife, renewing his oft repeated declaration
of his purpose to provide for various
public charities, intmating that he had
been engaged in celebrating several plans
for the welfare of his fellow beings, had
already begun some Of them, and in tie event
of his sudden death, should depend upon his
widow to carry them out. He added, that their
friend Judge Hilton would give any assistance in
his power, and referred her to him for details.
There was no intimatiOn that Judge Hilton
was to bestow these charities. Nj. Stewards
letter informed his wife that he must dcpeRd
upon her to carry out the plans he had de
vised For the consideration of the million
dollars which no gave to Judge Hill
ton, in order to secure and re-
ward his interest in this matter, the
widow has now, under the Judges advice,
sold all the property. excepting the NewYork
real estate, to the Judge himself. In other
words, the Judge seems to have traded his
own legacy for the rest of the property.
Under these circumstances. Judge Hilton

The call for free conference of independent
citizens, to prevent the Presidential cleo
ton from becoming, in the Centennial
year, a mere choice of evils, derives
dignity from its signcrs, and deserves
the warmest sympathy with its purpose. 1t
will be popularity interpreted as a movement
primarily in favor of Mr. BristOw, and next in
hostility to Mr.. Blame. But it is doubt
full if oil the sgners have ut heart
either purpose; and it may be added
that, if the people interpret the
language of this circular as plainly pointing to
Mr. Bristow, then the popular compli-
ment to the Secretary thus conveyed
is only less conspicuously honorable
than an actual election to the Presidency.
The real significance of this movement is that
it becomes an organized threat, held over
both the National Conventions, warning each
to put up men whom the country can trust,
and to advocate principles not incom-
Datible with the national honor. II may
also form the nucleus for a representative
assembly, to meet after both the others,
which might prove ratification meeting
for the nominations of one or the other, or
a convention to put forward nominations
of its own. In any respect, 1t is wise
step, and deserves the heariicst encourage
ment and support from all indepcnd-
ent men, who value the country
more than mere party ties, who
wish to see both parties lifted to higher
plane. and who are resolved that the Centen-
NAL election shall not be a national disgrace

The reasons given in our Washington cor
respondence for regarding the nomination OF
judge Davis as not improbable, indicate a
healthy condition OF political sentiment among
the people. If Judge Davis should be Sc
lected by the Democrats it will be because
they perceive that the masses can no Longer
be depended upon to follow the dictates OF
caucus and convention. Both sides already
admit that the Presidential candidate who will
have the best chance of winning, is ne that
shall offer the sureSt promise of genuine re-
form.

we deprecate the spirit in which very
well-knowu and responsible writer discusses
Gov. William Beach Lawrence's mistake in
aiixing the title of formerly United States
minister to London to his own name on
the titlo-page of work published i'll Paris.
But Gov. Lawren"e must not be surprised
to find Mr.. Dana's friends retaliating saw
agely for the one-sided contest waged Ill
the Foreign Relations Committee. The real
trouble between Gov. Lawrence and the
Wheaton family (rather than Mr.. Dana) grew
out of certain constitutional views held by
Gov. Lawrence, and more or less distinctly
expressed in his notes. which the United States
Government in time of war regarded as
verging too closely upon Calhounism to make
it longer safe to have the work accepted
as an authority by the foreign service. The
family of Mr. Wheaton changed the editor
The exigency out of which the controversy
sprang has long since passed. The points at
issue between Gov. Lawrence and the new ed
itor whom the family selected were mainly
technical, and certainly never would have
been raised but for the political bitterness
that lay beneath. 1t would have been vastly
better if Gov. Lawrence had not insisted on
lighting the fight over again. AS he did, he
must not be surprised at finding the country,
which sympathized with Mr. Dana's views fiji
teen years ago, and after five years. war en-
forced them. disposed still to take lis side.

wish to carry out the measure, since the same
end could he reached by cutting down the ap-

veto the appropriation bill but by that time

parently awakening from the deep
lethargy in which she has lain for
some time past, andmade an appropri-
alton of S1,650.G0 to build a new
school house, and organize a free high
School under the late laws. At one
time Avoca boasted the best schools
In Iowa County, and our citizens are
ambitious of again deserving that
appelation.
Several members of the Centennial

clubs of Dodgeville and Linden, and
from the skill (!) manifested in that
game they are prepared to establish
their claims to the championship of
the county.
There has been some talk of pub
