A Sound Verdict.

The Jonas-Gold conspiracy case
which occupied the ate ntion Of the
=. S. Court in Milwaukee for nearly
month, terminated last week in a
verdict Of not guilty. The defend
ants were charged with having con-
spired with certain members Of the
whisky ring to steal important papers
from the office of the prosecuting at
torney. 1t was deemed essential to
get possession of these documents in
order to save the indicted mem bers of
the ring from conviction, and hence
negotiations were entered into wit
Jonas aud Goldberg to do the JOB, hut
they fell through on account of dis
agreement as to the price to be paid.
This is what was charged in the indict-
ment. Louis Rindskorf, Leopold
Wirth and numerous other witnesses of
that character swore to the truth of
the allegations, and large number of
letters which passed between the par
ties was offered in evidence in corrob-
Grafton of their statements. But the
jury instead Of convicting Jonas and
Goldberg of conspiracy, found Kinds
kopf, With, ct. al. guilty Of perjury,
for such was their verdict by implica-
tion We believe the decision meets
fully with the appreciation of the pub
lie. Honest men may we'll tremble
when the testimony of Rindskopf aud
Wirth is accepted as sufficient to con-
Wet of crime, tor in the attitude which
they are placed by their own confess
ions as "squealers," they advertise
their own infamy as thieves. who have
been Systematically detrauding the
Government for years, and as men who
are entirely unworthy of belief. II is
a hopeful sign that juries are begin
ming to appreciate that kind Of evil
dence at its true value, and that while
they will and should adhere to the
doctrine Of letting no guilty man es-
cape, they viii insist upon better and
more conclusive proof than that Of self
confessed thieves and perjurers.

THE Naval Investigating Committee
which has been engaged for some time
in overhauling Secretary Robson,
caught Tartar the other day in the
person of Mr.. Swift, "a witness, who
was called to sive his testimony. TIE
committee had in some way become
impressed with the idea that Swift had
expended large amounts of money in
elections, and likewise supposed that
he was Republican, and had furnish
ed aid to that party. To the great
CONSERVATION of the committee, how
ever, Swift, after considerable hesitancy
and wriggling, admitted the fact of
having paid assessments for political
purposes, but said that they were in
the interest of the democratic party;
to-wit, $1,000 for the election of
James Buchanan, $500 for the Tilden
campaign in New York, and $500 to
help along Gov. English in Connect
cut. AS that was not the kind of
game the committee was in pursuit of,
the chase was abandoned.

Republican National Convention.

The next Union Republican National
Convention, for tbs nomination of candi-
dates for President and Vice-President of
the United States, will be held in the city
of Cincinnati on Wednesday, the 14th day
of June, 1876, at IL o'clock noon, and will
consist of delegates from each state equal
to twice the number of itssenators and rep
resentatives in Congress, and of two dele
gates from each organized territory and the
District of Columbia,
In calling the conventions for election of
delegates, the committees of the several
states are recommended to invite all Repub
licau electors and all other voters, without
regard to past political differences or prev
ieus party affiliations, who are opposed to
factional issues, and desire to promote
friendly feeling ana permanent harmony
throughout the country, by maintaining
and enforcing all the constitutional rights
of every citizen, including full and free ex-
ercise Of the right of suffrage, without in
timidation and without fraud, who are in
favor of continued prosecution and punish
ment of all official dishonesty, and of an
economical administration of the govern
men. by honest. faithful and capable OIL
GERS; who are in favor of making such re-
forms In the government as experience may
from time to time suggest; who are opposed
to impairing the credit of the nation by de-
preciating any of its obligations, and in
favor of sustaining in every way the ma
tional faith and financial honor; who hold
that the common school system is the nur-
sery OF American liberty, and should be
maintained absolutely free from sectarian
control; who believe that for the promotion
of these ends, the direction of the Govern
ment should continue to be confided to
those who adhere to principle of 1776 to
support them as incorporated in the Cohs.i-
tuition and laws, and who are in favor of
recognizing and Strengthening the funda-
mental principle of national unity in this
centennial anniversary of the the birth of
the republic. Ell. MORGAN.

The Trial Of ID. w. Mnnn.

D' W. NA unu, iotC SupOistooi VI
Internal Revenue, who was indicted in
Chicago for conspiring with the whis-
key ring to defraud the government,
has been tried and acquitted. There
was an abundance Of evidence, such
as it was, to convict him, if the jury
had believed in its credibility. The
most damaging testimony against
Mum, was given by Jacob Rehm and
S. j. Conklin, but the jury evidently
did not believe in its truthfulness, and
accordingly found a verdict of acquit
tai Rehm is a self-confessed liar and
perjurer, and according to his own 3D.
missions, was the head and front Of the
ring, making the assessments aud COL
lections, and was the greatest scoundrel
in the business. Under a promise of
immunity, however, from the govern
ment, he turned states evide nee, and
has undertaken to keep himself out Of
prison by swearing to enough to send
some one in his place. The same is
true Of S. j. Conklin. He has been
under indictment for several months
for completely in the whiskey frauds
in Milwaukee, and sought refuge in
Canada, to avoid trial and conviction.
In the Mum trial he swore that he
had been promised immunity by the
government, if he would return and
make certain exposures which are nee
essary to smirch, if not convict, some
parties whom the prosecuting attorney
desires to reach, Mum among the
number. Conklin demanded and re-
ceived his promised immunity in black
and white, or his attorney did for him,
and in return he was required to sub
NIT his statement in writing, all OF
which would seem to indicate that tLere
was lack of confidence on either side
between the contracting parties, each
being distrustful Of the other. TWAS
under this arrangement that Conklin
returned and appeared upon the wit
ness stand in the trial of Mum. All
The facts noted above were called out
in his examination, and the jury evil
IDENTIFY were Of the opinion, and we
think correctly SO, that evidence OBJ
tanned by such means, was not worthv
of belief. And this view of the case,
we apprehend, will be sustained by the
public. Conklin's story may have been
ever SO truthful. but the temptation to
swear falsely under such circumstances,
when the alternative is presented to a
witness of swearing to all that is de-
handed OF him, or go to prison him
self, is SO strong, that no fair minded
man will convict another upon testimony
Of such doubtful value. Hence we saw
that the acouittal of Mum was eminent
ly proper, and that his conviction upon
the evidence of Rehm and Conklin
would. have been one of the greatest out
RACES ever perpetrated ia the name of
law and justice.

PRESIDENT GRANTS appointment
OF Don Cameron, as Secretary of War,
IS looked upon in some quarters as a
movement in the interest of Senator
CoEkliDg, Of New York, and intended
to aid that gentleman's prospects for
Presidential nomination. 1t is lust as
seriously maintained by others, how
ever, that no significance of this kind
attaches to the elevation of Cameron
to the position named. It looks un-
reasonable that there should be any
bargain and sale in the matter, simply
because Cameron does not own the
Republican party in Pennsylvania,
and we do not believe that he and his
venerable papa can control the dele
cation when it shall have done voting
for Hartrantt. It Is understo cd that
aportion of the Pennsylvania delegates
are in favor of Blaine as a second
choice, and we shall be surprised if,
when tn break comes, a majority of
them do not rally under the Blaine
standard. The talk that Conkling is
to have the vote of that state in con-
siGe.ation of Cameron's appointment
may be set down as the merest non
sense.

AN official statement has just been
prepared by the commissioner of Gus
toms, by direction of the secretary of
the treasury, showing the balances
standing against custom officers and
disbursing agents since January LIST
1880. The statement shows a defc-
iency in receipts from customs for
thirty years before 1860 at the rate
of s25 in $40, 900, and for the follow
ing fifteen years of only $40 in $780,
600. On disbursements the defcie ncy
for thirty years previous to 1860 was
$26 in $4,000, while for the next
fifteen years it was only S54 in $780,
600. According to this showing, the
correctness of which cannot be doubted,
it appears there is no real cause for
complaint over the losses sustained by
the government. It were better of
course, that there should be no defal-
cations and embellishments, but this is
simply impossible in any government
and under any administration in which
so many officers are employed as in
this. No private business in the
country, no matter how closely
watched. is conducted with any smaller
percentage OF losses than that shown
shove.

Not For Tilden.

There is case of INSTRUMENTATION
at Fond du Lac which requires the
immediate attention of the Tilden man
ayers in this state. 1t has been sup
posed that everything was lovely for
the New York Governor among the
leading democrats and papers of that
stripe in Wisconsin. There seems to
be little friction, however, in the
machinery Of one of the organs at
Fond du Lac, and some lubricating
agency must be employed at once if
the trouble is to be remedied. The
contract having been duly ratified to
deliver to Tilden the delegation from
Wisconsin to the St. Louis convention,
it behooves the parties of the first
part TO the trade to see that there is
no rebellion In the camp, nor failure
to deliver as agreed. Articles such
as the following which we copy from
the Fond du Lac Journal bpde dis
aster to the plan of the Tilden fugle-
men unless measures are taken to
countcract their influence:
A great effort is being made by GER
tain professional blowers and strikers
to commit the public sentiment
of the reformers of this state
in favor of Gov. Tilden as their pres
identlal candidate. Against Govern
nor Tllden, personally, we have
naught to say. He has made good
record as governor of New York. But
the men who are manipulating the
Tilden movement in this state are not
such as have the confidence of genu-
inc reformers. The headquarters of
this clique are in Chicago, where
Perry FL. Smith. of the Northwestern
railroad, controls the wires, and is in
constant communication with a prom
inent nursery of Tildenism at Milwau-
kee. Henry l.. Palmer, of Milwau-
kee, is pronounced Tilden man.
This is the same Palmer who is Pres
ldent of the Northwestern Life Insur-
ance Company, the corporation which
sent money into this direction last fail
to secure the election of Republican
nominees for senator and representa-
tives. He was formerly a prominent
railroad attorney. John W. Cary, of
Milwaukee, the legal champion OF or
ganlzed monopoly in this state, is also
a Tllden man. In fact the organizers
and controllers of the Tilden move
ment in Wisconsin, are the men who
have habituaIly conducted the demo-
cratic reform party to defeat. They
are played out political fossils, who
for years have assumed to control,
from their Milwaukee stronghold, the
democratic party of Wisconsin. And
under their management the party has
aim ost invariably, suffered defeat It
is time tor those men to be sent to the
rear. Younger men, of purer politi
cal morals and more progressive po-
lltical ideas, are coming to the front
The reformers of Wisconsin are not
willing to be led by the nose to the
unquestloned support of presidential
candidate who is the very head centre
of the railroad combinations of the
country, and who is Endorsed by rail-
road and monopoly ring attorneys.
And we declare that any man or news
paper which is loud in praise of Til
den, has record which does not re-
commend him or it to the confidence
of the reformers of Wisconsin.

THE effect of the various onslaughts
which have been made upon Mr..
Blaine, is seen in the result of the diff
ferent Republican State Conventions
which were held last week. In Kan
sas. Minnesota, Nebraska and Illinois.
solid Blaine delegations were elected
to the Cincinnati Convention. Mr..
Dlaine's enemies have overshot the
mark, or in other words stopped over"
They have preferred charges against
him, having not semblance of truth
to give color to them, which has re-
suited in creating sympathy for him
and Juror in his behalf that it would
otherwise have been difficult to create.
While his star has been, and is in the
ascendant, that of Mr.. Bristow seems
to be on the wane. That gathering of
those emine ntly respectable gentlemen
in New York week before last in the
interest of Bristow, did not seem to &C.
complish much in that direction. It
cannot be expected that men whose
second choice is Samuel j. Tilden.
should exercise very great influence
over Republican minds, for it indicates
that their Republicanism is too thin
skinned to be of much account.

THE manner in which public senti-
ment in favor of Gov. Tilden is man
ufactured by his managers is explain
ed by the La Crosse Liberal Democrat.
That paper publishes a letter it re-
,ceived from newspaper advert Using
agency in New York, covering five
articles Iaudatory of Tilden, and d.
recting their insertion in the paper,
one each week, and an order to charge
for the same the sum of six dollars.
The Democrat is highly indignant and
says it hopes Tilden has no personal
knowledge of any connection with such
contemplate business. It is safe to
say, however, that Tilden's money
foots the bills.

A Baby's Way

The st. Louis Republican says: SIT
was just about sunset, the street had
been sprinkled, and the residents of the
neighborhood were grouped on piazzas
and doorsteps enjoying themselves in
chat and in watching the motions of the
children playing on the sidewalk. Along
the walk came a man who looked as tho
he might be connected with the river; he
had the general indescrible air of q boat
man, and additionally, it must be con-
fessed that he may have been drinking.
As he approached the children, they at
tracted his attention, and he stopped to
look at them. Then he began muttering
to himself, and unmindful of the people
on an adjacent doorstep, who could hear
his words distinctly: "There's pretty
children. / haven't any, now. l Won
der if they'd be scared if 1 should speak
to them" He went up to the children
and took one of them, little boy, by
the hand. Noting by instinct the rather
disreputable appearance of the man, the
boy caught away his hand and ran, the
other children, in terror, initiating his
example. Disappointed and hurt, the
man turned away to go, when q wee
white-clad bit of baby girl, not yet big
enough to talk, turned about suddenly
from the escaping covey, and toddied
laughingly back towards the man, hoId-
ing out her hands. The disreputahIe fel-
low caught her up in his arms, ana tnen
she laid her chubby pink cheek against
his grimmy 1nsha1en one, and eGddled
and cOoed as onIy baby knows how to
cuddle and coo. The baby's mother,
watching all close by, did not interfere.
The man held the child for moment, ,and
then put her down gently and hurried
off with tears in his eyes. There wal
nothing very striking about the incident
but it did one rough fellow great deal o
good, and didn't hurt the baby"
