We are gratincd to learn that the an
nouncement that Mr.. LOUIS ]. JENNINGS is
about to return to England is not merely prema-
ture, but entirely erroneous. He has proved
such an acquisition to American journalism that
his loss would with Justice be universally de-
pored. As true a patriot as any born on our
soil, lie has at II times held principles above
party.
We should regret not only TO see Mr. JENNINGS
retire from the country, but 20 see him sepa-
rated from the partner In conjunction with
whom he has achieved 30 much. We do not
say that II would be disastrous to tho Times; an
established journal can endure great deal but
II would be very unfortunate. 1t would greatly
inIure the Times: and whatever Injuries one
leading journal Is misfortune to journalism In

The great, prevailing force in the MOODY

spiritual songs and fervent prayers, Brother
MOODY would have a SIN II chance OF stirring w

We do not see why Judge PRATT refused
70 assent to the request made In the name Of
many influential Jews, in regard to the sentenc-
Ing OF RuBENsTEIH. They hold that man who
Is their co-relirionist should not be sentenced to
death on their Sabbath, and hence desired that
the announcement Of the legal penalty should
be postponed from Saturday last to anv OF tho
secular days Of this week. Such request was
in no wise improper, and the granting oft, which
was within the power Of the Court, would have
shown a commendable readiness to respect the
religious feelings of a class Of our citizens who
are more law abiding than any other portion Of
the community. The 1sraentes .among us have
rarely any occasion TO ask the legal considera-
tinn which they have sought In the case OF RU-

derine Jewess and we are not surprised to
hear that they feel disappointed at the course OF

The full report of MIR. HEwITT's speech

reader TO piace upon them. IL Is true that Nc.
HEWITT casually remarked that the salaries OF
these Minister are inadequate to meet their le-
ultimate expenses In the style In which they nre

an argument for increasing them. be urged upon
the attention Of the House the fact that these
Offices offer collateral advantages OF such de
sirable nature that they are always sought after
By competent men who are eager 10 Nil them,
even at considerable cost to themselves. Fur
Their Mr.. HEWITT distinctly disavowed any dis
agreement with the committee in regard to re-
ducine the salaries OF ministers abroad but, on
the contrary, said that n they had gone furthe
and abolished or consolidated several OF these
missions, they would have had his hearty con
curehce, while u they had seen 1t "to with
hold appropriations for the payment Of the sal
aries of other ministers whose names have been
connected with unpleasant scandals" he should
have felt that a patriotic citizen might visit for

We have been waiting for some light
upon the extraordinary official letter
which Mr.. PIERRrroNr recently sent out
in the interest Of the whiskey fraud con-
spirators, and at Inst we have it in the sub
Joined statement furnished to n Washing
ton reporter of the Herald:
1.-THE Interpretation so generally put upon the
letter Of Attorney General PIERHEPONT to the
Western District Attorneys IN regard to the pun
ishmcnt OF tnfOfmers In the whiskey cases has
ANNOYED Mr.. PIERRrPoNT very much, especially
his legal friends. who have not hesitate ed to eX
| press their astonishment to him at the positions
| taken In the letter HIS explanation to them -
| that he did not in fact originate the letter, but
| that II was written bv special direction OF the
| Preaident who sent for him for that purpose.
| Mr.. P1ERREPONT Is reported to have added that
| lie softeped the terms OF the letter as much as
| President saw It he expressed himself as dissat-
isned that II was not stronger. Those with whom
he has talked say that Mr.. rfERREpoNT appears
to think that he did public service m so man
aging az to prevent ~ ore decided letter from
gong to the District Attorneys"
This does not relieve Mr.. PIERRrroNT
from the Indignation which his letter has
| so universally excited. What If he was re-
| qured by the President to write n circular
calculated TO defeat the ends Of justice
and to save pack OF scoundres from the
punishment they deserve Would an
honorable man submit TO make himself
the tool of such a purpose ms GRANr'si
Would any one OF the renowned lawyers
who have filled the Office of Attorney
| General have consented TO perform so de-
grading a servicef Would HENRY STAN
Berry have written such a letter, or Will
LIAM NJ. EvARTsi
There was only one proper course for
MIR. PIERREPoNT when the President made
such n revolving demand and that was 70
tender ms resignation, and inform the
public frankly and fully Of the reason why
| IL was rendered. For this, however, he
had not the stomach; and now, forsooth,
he tells us that he did n public service in
so managing as to prevent a more decided
letter from going TO the District Attor-
neys." Thus he tries to carry water on
both shoulders, and claims credit for hav-
ing deluded GRANT in the business His
| claim is no better than that of HAMILTON
| FISH, who proposes to run for President
on the platform of having ounningly and
| pertinsciously defeated GRANTS plan for
| bringing on war with Spain about Cuba.
They are pretty set, all of them.

How q Practical Young FsnaIe Set
tied a Family Difficulty.

The Bellew family, on Twentieth
Street, have settled their disputes, and
consequently there will be no more rev.
enue derived by the Ciiy from semi
occasional fines from the p~aternal head
Of the family The difficulties have been
as follows: David Il. Below, a teacher
of languages and telegraph operator,
married the widow OF an aged but re-
spectacle merchant Of Terrc Hute,
Ind, about three years ago. Beilew
had been tutor Of Miss Dora Below, the
eldest, and Miss Nettie G., the youngest
OF old man Glassner's family. Soon
after his marriage he removed with his
wife 70 this city, where he engaged in
the dairying and. market garden bust
ness. Considerable property is said to
have been purchased, but as To this
nothing definite Is known. But this
much is known. Bellew proved TO be a
worthless, lazy character and a nuisance
TO the southern end Of the city. About
three weeks ago Mrs. Bellew went back
10 Terre Hautc an invalid, leaving her
eldest daughter, Dora, in charge OF the
family affairs. This young lady it ap-
pears held a right and title to the Seven
teenth Street property. 1t was her own
by her W individual right, having
been purchased with her W money
in the name of n trustee and held
for her use. Her drunken step
father has been a source Of great
annoyance and aggravation for
two or three years past. He has
insulted the young man who has been
paying attention TO his step-daughter.
and in fact prevented his visits TO the
house. Tuesday night, however, the
young ladies invited a half dozen or
more young friends to the house, among
them Mr.. Joe g. l., the aforesaid
young sui.or from Seneca, Kansas, a
former friend of the family in Indiana.
The "old man. came home about 10
O'Clock with n friend, but finding some
strangers present went out again to ..the
avenue," andycamc back about an hour
afterwards and broke up the party.
Not satisfied with this, Below attacked
his step-daughter in a violent manner,
and was seconded by his drunken guest,
who, II Is to.bc regretted, stands high
As a citizen. The dilemma of the young
ladies was q painful one, but Miss Dora
was equal to the emergency. She re-
quested the young gentleman visiting
her to expel the two drunken men. 1t
V done simultaneously and effective
ly, both parties rolling promiscuously
out into the street. Early on Friday
morning the courageous young lady
was married to her choice, and within
three hours afterwards accompanied
her husband to court to answer to a
charge Of assault. The old man il left
out high and dry now. The home which
knew him ono will know him no more.
