some of the prisoners, and l think It
would be unreasonable 10 expect such
heavy bail think one thousand dol.
lars each should be enough, and l fix 1t,
therefore, ut that amount. Now I desire
to say one word more before we part. You
have submitted yourselves to the trial
of but one question, and that Is, whether
YOU are entitled to bail. You have not
decided your guilt or innocence, and what
I desire Is. that you will make no tri-
umph of the matter, but give your bail
and 60 quietly to your homes.
Gen. Butler assured the Judge that
his request would be strictly obeyed. He
knew the men well enough to say that
they looked upon the matter as no tri.
umph, and that they would give bail and
go quietly home.
The prisoners then each entered into
81 900 bond to answer at the next term
of the court such charges rs the grand
jury might prefer against them. Every
thing passed of quietly and peaceably,

OF decorum and dignity dispersed toward

denounced as a murderous brute, Judge

The shooting of these men was certainly
quite as lawless an act as the killing OF
the Thielburg brothers at Newark, n. j.,
not long ago, without due process of
law. That act was commended by The

ALTHOUGH the killing Of landlord,
the Chicago school teacher. by Mr.. Sulli-
van, clerk OF the board of water works,
finds no justification in the minds OF
right thinking men, there are connected
with the case, many and strong pallia-
ting circumstances. landlord wrote an
anonymous letter, preterring serious and
damaging charges against Mrs. Sullivan
as leader OF the "school board ring"
and then not only did not sign the letter,
(which he caused to be read before the
city council) but exacted from the alder
man to whose hands he consigned it, a
distinct pledge " not to betray him " by
revealing his responsibility in the premi-
ses. The husband, Sullivan, ascertained
the name of the cowardly defamer of his
wife's good name, and, with a rashness
no good man can applaud, killed him.
Deal as the law may, with homicides
of this character, the public will
stubbornly insist that there is altogether
too much OF the anonymous calumny in
which Hanford INDUCED and If no
other lesson is learned from his death,
cowardly slanderers will learn that they
cannot always wag their envenomed
tongues with perfect safety. danford's
defamation OF good woman's character
did not justify Sullivan's precipitancy;
but it will teach defamers of personal
reputation that il may be better for them
to pause and consider whether they are
ready and willing to be held responsible.

the ISLANDERS they create. A reckoning
comes, sooner or later; and whatever
may be the result, the public will feel but
little sympathy for the slanderer.
