Murder win Out.

This little declaration is a succinct state
ment Of theory as to murder in which
the world once had robust and i'm
shaken in the later times. 1t is supposed
that there have been several cases in which
the crime of murder has been committed
without the fact becoming known even that
murder was done, and other cases in which
with the crime known the murderers have
remained undiscovered. People have paid
the less attention to this subject because it
has become matter of very little conse-
quence with us whether murder will out"
or not, inasmuch as the result is the same
the murderer commonly going free in either
case Indeed, it might be laid down as
convenient for the murderer that his crime
should become known ut once, inasmuch as
he is then tried and discharged and hos no
further trouble while in the other event he
is for years tortured with anxiety, inasmuch
as he always believes justice to be severer
quaintance But the verdict against Lee
in regard to the Mountain Meadow massa-
ere seems like case of the real old fashioned
sort, and may in some degree revive the old
fashioned faith. His crime has been brought
home to him after twenty years, and it seems
highly probable that the punishment will
follow. 1t may be remembered that whole
train of emigrants-men, women and chill
dren-were murdered on that occasion by
the Mormons, who had some Indians with
them to give color to the report they spread
that the murders were committed by the
savaQeS

Yesterday's Rine Match.

We think that the general feeling among
our citizens regarding the result of yester-
days contest at Creedmoor will be tinged
with regret that our gallant visitors,
the Irish rifemen, did not carry
off the victory. "'Tis not in mortals
to command success" but surely no
number of gentlemen more fully
deserved it. If it has fallen to our marks
men to defeat them in four successive con-
tests the Irish rifemen have not undergone
the ordeal without gaining the admiration Of
their opponents and the esteem of Americans
all over the Union. We are fully aware
of the difficulties of getting together
team "sure to win" in country where the
possession Of q rifle by private person is a
matter of direct governmental grace and
special license; but narrow as this, restric-
ton makes the choice, Major Leech
must at least be congratulated on the
character of the marksmen he has found
himself called on to lead at Creedmoor
and Dollymount. AS Miner and johnson
found their way with such unerring pre-
cision to the bull's-eye, SO the whole team
has made a mark upon the affections of
America which will not soon be effaced.
In the course of the matches the
HERALD, by publishing its diagrams
of the shooting, has endeavored, and
with flattering success, to second the
efforts of tho rifemen to bring beautiful
and manly sport into merited prominence.
1t is gratifying to know that while subserv-
ing this good end we have contributed
to swell the chorus of appreciation which
has greeted the efforts of such excellent
gentlemen and fine shots. The international
communion in manly sports will do more to
preserve the peace and good nature of the
world than all the treaties that the most
careful diplomatist could draw. The puff
of the rifle has become among us the calumet
of peace. We must smoke yet another such
as yesterdays with our Irish friends.

Aoxs In 1las.

The boys in blue are making hne demon
stration at Indianapolis. They muster IN
goodly numbers in the Western city and
their meetings and marches are full OF On.
thusiasm. A great number of generals ara
there but many of them are more famousin
civil than they have ever been in military
contests. The gathering of these heroes haa
q political object. 1t is intended to aid the
republican cause, and their songs, with the
wornout burdens of "Oh! have you heard
the news from Maine?" and 'Carry the news
to Tilden," would sound more becoming
in purely political meeting than in
q reunion of the soldiers who fought
in the war; After oil, these conventions Of
the ''Boys in Blue" called always about
election time could be very we'll dispensed
with. They are at bottom neither more nor
less than Northern white leagues. The
Southerners commenced the foolish policy
of organizing such combinations, but that is
no reason why the Northerners should fol-
low the example. The war is over. If we
are to have political organizations of boys in
blue ut the. North there is no reason why
there should not be political organizations
of boys in gray at the South. Yet any
gathering of the latter would be regarded as
q reopening of the rebellion and an unpatri-
otic movement. On the Union side demo-
Gratis and republicans fought shoulder to
shoulder. The politicians who affect so
much affection for the boy in blue love him
only on condition that he will vote on their
side, and not because he risked his life on
the field of battle to preserve the Union. The
sooner the blue uniforms and the gray dis
appear from our national politics the better
will it be for the country.

FIavoring Extracts.

In the case of the man Roach and his
daughter, both of whom died suddenly
and as was thought from poison, it is
now reported that on autopsy has demon
strated that the cause of death was
cholera morbus and that no trace OF
poison was found. That no trace of poison
was found does not prove that the persons
did not die from poison, and cholera morbua
is rather name for group of symptoms
than for distinct pathological condition.
and the one fact in it's pathology is as likely
to be the consequence of poison as of any
other cause. All the family ate of meal and
two of them drank of beer with some drops
in it, and these two died, while no one else
was ill. 1t is not the meal. therefore, but
the beer or the drops that are indicated as
the sources of mischief, and there should be
further inquiry in regard to them. They
were either some favoring extract or some
one of the many cordials used by people who
compound. Only few days since dose Of
prussic acid was given to woman in the
form of one of these cordials in q liquor shop
in the city, and they are commonly virulent
poisons. In this case, if the drops were not
themselves poisonous, they probably COM
bined with some substance present in tho,
beer and thus made poisonous compound

Lord Beaconsfield's Answer.

"Superfuous lags the veteran on the
stage" Lord Beaconsfelds speech at
Aylesbury will induce his friends to regret
that he did not several years ago come to
that conclusion to retire from public life
which he reports himself as having reached
this year, and which was the immediate
cause of his elevation to the peerage. His
speech is great blunder. 1t is querulous
in tone, feeble as to its logic and wild as to
his government because ''there never was
an English government which had greater
difficulties to deal with than the present one
has," yet these difficulties are of his own
making, the results of his policy or want of
policy. 1t is scarcely permissible Tor min
whose very existence is main ground of re-
proach against him. This is like the culprit
who killed his father and mother and appealed
to the Judge mot to be hard on q poor
orphan" There is a sad want of tact in the
Premiers complaint that his policy is not
'backed by the country" If policy is, in
England, not "backed by the country" it
will in oil likelihood not be backed in Par
lament; and in that case it would be wise
for the Minister to get another policy or re-
sign-unless, indeed, the Premier has dis
covered some plan for conducting the gov
eminent OF England in defiance of Parlia-
ment. There have been premiers who
would face the Parliament and the country
slike where they believed themselves right,
ana 60 grandly out of Office on point of
principle; but the world would laugh out
right to see Lord Beaconsield assuming
such an attitude at the end of his career.
In the higher political atmosphere the want
of courtesy and justice in the reference to
Mr.. Gladstone will hardly add to the
Premier's fame.
The New York herald., 1876-09-22

In other parts Of tho country, where tho
mass of voters are desirous of sound cur
rency as necessary preliminary to a re-
vival of industry and business. The fol-
lowers of the political veteran who is affec-
tionately called 'Olebillallen" may carry
Ohio for the democrats, but in doing SO they
may disgust and alarm the rest of the coun-
try SO greatly as to seriously damage Cover
nor Tilden's prospects in November. The
democratic party is more apt to lose than to
gain from tho turning of the Communistic
element to it's support
The New York herald., 1876-09-22
au..r Polite. 4. m....eh-..t...

1t cannot be agreeable to Mr.. Charles
Francis Adams to know that he was not NOM
mated for Governor of Massachus by the
enthusiasm of the democrats, but by an in
trigue of Mr.. Tilden and John Kelly. The
pride of the statesman must be humiliated
by the revelations in our Boston correspond
ence to-day. MI Tilden, to use his own
celebrated metaphor, appears resolved that
there shall be human hand and human
will at the helm of the democracy, and that
hand is his own. The power of his will is
felt in every State, and it is paramount in
Massachusetts.
The election of Mr.. Adams seems to have
been considered secondary to the usefulness
Of his nomination. He is not as popular at
home, we are told, as he is abroad. Mr..
CASTOR would have been O stronger candi-
date with the democrats in Massachusetts,
for he never offended the Irish vote, as Mr..
Adams did by his course in England at the
time of the Fenian trials. But Mr. Gaston's
influence is thought to end just where that
OF Mr.. Adams begins-at the boundary line
of the State. Governor Tilden wanted a
candidate in Massachusetts, whose command
ing reputation as On independent republican
would make independent republicans in all
parts Of the Union rejoice at democratic lib
erality. He was apparently ready to risk q
complete defeat of the State ticket, by the de-
fection of the Irish vote, in order to use Mr..
Adams influence to help his own
election. Whether this was wise plan
is much to be doubted, but it is
now to be shrewdly supplemented. Mr..
Tilden, having gained his first point,
the nomination of Mr.. Adams, will
election. To effect this Mr.. John
Kelly is to be sent to Massachusetts, to con-
vince the Irish democrats that Mr.. Adams,
though not in the least Fenian, will have
the Fenian support. Mr.. Kelly will sup
port Mr. Adams John Kelly will rally
Irish voters to the cause of the late Minister
to England. This is q wonderful combine
ton, but it is probably too deep to succeed.
We do not know whether Governor Tilden
is as great whist player as Commodore
Vanderbilt, but he ought to remember that
when o player risks fnesse twice on single
suit that on the third round his best card is
likely to fall useless on the board. Neither
are we aware whether Mr.. Adams is chess
player but if he is, we should like to know
how he likes to be tho Kings pawn, pushed
forward in the great Presidential game.
