We nro assured by some of orr contem-
porarics that "thc majesty of the law was
vindicntcd," whatever that may moan, in
the execution OF JONI DoLAN. II seems
TO us that the majesty Of the law mast have
been in a vciy bad way if II needed so poor
a vinlication. DOLNN's trial was anything
but satisfactory for the trial of capital
case; ami we are Mt u loss to understand
how the respect for the law can be iu-
creased and rendered moro general by n
CONVICTION on insufficient evidence, fol-
lowed by an execution.

cratic Journal. that II ia well 10 hang any
man merely because he belongs to II par

When the H'orh comes to discuss the
trial of DoLAN, however, it justly remarks;
"Tbe only evidence doservlng the name at the
tri was that which he furnished against him-

Webcnevc DoLAN was guilty. The story
hetold of having received MI. NoE's watch
from another man was plausible. Itsecmed
more probable than that the murderer
himself should have exposed the watch for
sale. But when ne gave the name of the
man. AMI no such person was to be found
or heard Of, there remained very little
ground for belief IN his statement. Never
thelcss, there still remained somo posi-
bihty that he was not the murderer; aud
If hanging is jus,inable at all, 1t can only
he on the clearest proof, such as leaves no
room for doubt.
The public respect for foRATro SEYMOUR
will be increased by the disinterestel kind
ness which he showed toward DOLAN, in
going before the Governor aud taxing
pains that every just consideration in favor
of the prisoner should be pressed upon AIS
attention.

Riches and Death-A short Sermon

A rich old man lay dying. The full num-
Der of years allotted to man had passed
away since first his eyes opened 10 the light
OF day, and father aud "A mother rcjoiced
that son was born unto them. The full
number of years allotted to man-t Is q
long time; aud yet 1t had not seemed long
10 him, 50 stealthily do the days glide by.
But 1t is long enough to incur grave re-
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES which, if the
preachers preach truth, stretch out, in
their consequences, through all eternity.
The longest life has its close, and his hour
had come. The physicians who had healed
him heretofore, could not heal him now.
He was possessed Of untold millions. BY
night aud by day his riches had increased;
was 1t, alasl that, in the moment of his
dire necessity, they might press, with
mountain weight, upon his own soul? His
| gold, which had availed him so often,
would not avail him now. All his vast
| wealth, If he were willing to give 1t, would
not purchase for him one day more Of
| life. lie must diet
Failing in all efforts for physical relief,
he turns to seek for spiritual consolation.
| He had lived a life quite blameless in the
estimation of men, fair life, but hvers of
| the farest lives grow anxious when they
stand face to face with Death, and realize
that they are about to enter into the dark
ness which human vision cannot penetrate
| Could he find comfort in tue word of GOD
He opens the Bible ana reads;
"How hardly shan they that have riches enter into
| the Kingdom OF God"
"Itls easier tor camel to go through the eye OF a
needle, than for " enter into the Kingdom
| Of God"
And he thought of his millions of money.
Aud he wondered what JESUS CHRIST
meant when he spake these words.

Formerly it was the practice in Virginia
to afford ordinary criminals an opportu-
nifty TO escape, after indictment, 1t being
considered that If they fed, the State was
well nd of them. II Is within our mem
DRY that even murderer was pardoned
in Rhode Island on condition that he

Silence, under its original eNpounders and

douhly interesting in its relations to the

Mr.. CAMERON, il appears. has the Repub-

similar control over the Democratic dele
cation, is bent upon Presidential ticket

izing the Democratic House Of Represen-
tativ,s in that interest may be pointed TO
with PRIDE" What with CAMERON nj GIN

Rristow.s Einnicr.

Mr.. BRf~rOw's advertisement for the sale
of s5.sSiOOO five per cent. gold bonds 20
pny the judgments of the Commissioners
OF the Alabama Claims Is the cause of
much adverse comment in financial and
political circles. In limiting the bids to
"lots of not lcss than onc-half million Of
dollars" the Secretary has committed IA
serious error, because it plays into the
hands of II combination of foreign capital-
lists, and excludes all competition at home
except in limited circle.
The great success of the French loans
was due to the fact that they were taken
among the people Of France in small sums.
The whole nation thus became Interested
in preserving the public credit, anu it was
hardly affected even by a change in the
dynasty, or revolution that upturned
society.
Mr.. BRIsrow has entire discretion, under
che law, to regulate the method of dispos-
ing of the loan, ana he has exercised II
against the judgment OF many Of the most
enlightened bankers and business men, in
a way to do harm to the very object he
seeks to serve. The drain on gold or its
equivalent to pay interest on bonds of the
United States held abroad. is one of the
hardest TO bear. because this money is ali
spent cut of the country.
TO exclude the people Of small means
from subscribing for national loan, or to
turn them over to Il syndicate Of large
Spectators, who have no interest 10 pro-
mote but their own profits, Is indefensiblo
on grounds of public policy; aud this J.:
exactly what Mr.. BRIsrow has done in the
present case.
