Rubenstein's Case.

The action of Judge Brady in granting q
stay of proceedings in the case the Hebrew
Rubenstein, under sentence of death in
Brooklyn, in order that there may be a re-
view of his case before General Term of
the Supreme Court and the Court of APP
peals, will be viewed with qualification by
every right-minded person. There is a
strong feeling against Rubenstein over in
Brooklyn, arising, naturally enough. out of
the horror excited by his crime and an i'm
patience for the sentence of death to be car
ried into effect. This feeling is consistent
with the popular desire for swift and sure
justice. We do not question for moment
the guilt of Rubenstein or the fairness of his
trial. But the point we have made all along
is that the right to so to the Court of Ap-
peals in all capital cases is one that should
be respected by every judge. If such
right is granted to the citizen when question
of property is at stake how much more is it
due to him when the question is life2 1t
happens that the wretched Rubenstein be-
longs to peculiar sect, which has suffered
great prosecutions. Had this right been
denied to him at the very time when il is
granted to another under sentence of death,
not only as murderer, but as one who COM
mitted murder in an attempt to rob, there
would have been q feeling that in our
Christian land there is one law for the jew
and another for the Gentle. No such as
persicn should for a moment be allowed to
rest upon the law, and we honor Judge
Brady for the courageous and manly way in
which he has vindicated justice.
But there should be ON amendment Of our
law in regard to capital punishment. 1t
should be made imperative upon the Court
of Appeals to review every capital case
within month after the verdict of the jury.
Should this review confirm the sentence.

MIR. KiIlian's Conduct in tho ASSEM-

The remarkable conduct of Mr.. Worth in
the Assembly on Friday, by which recon-
sideration of the action of that body in agree
ing with the adverse report of the Railroad
Committee on the Killian ''No Seat No
Fare bill, was rendered impossible,
was only supplementary shame to
the disgrace which is likely to over
take the author of the measure. Killian
showed great presumption and oficiousness
in making himself the champion of the bill,
and his forwardness i'll the matter led to
some suspicion of his fairness. His mystic
rious disappearance from his place in the
House when the report was made, and his
continued absence while it was possible to
reverse the action of the Assembly, renewed
and quickened the distrust with which he
was regarded i'll the beginning And now
comes what is not only n serious charge but
one which, if true is full explanation of
Mr. killian's astounding course in regard to
his own bill. We have received the follow
ing letter, and we print it that Mr.. Killian
may have an opportunity to reiute it if the
charge is unfounded:-
To EDITOR HERALp-
Killian, OF ''No Seat No Fare" fame made a good
thing out OF tho HERALD sensation. II is amatcr OF
common rumor that he is TO have the supcrntendency
OF OF the street railroads, TO hc appointed imme.
diately on the adjournment of the Legislature.
New YoRK, March Is, 1876 WALK INTO HIM.
Can it be possible that this singular story
is true? Plainly it is the duty of the AS
sembly to find out, and. if the charge is sus-
tanned, to purge itself of member who so
degrades himself and his Office. The story
is plausible one, and if it finds believers
Mr.. Killian has only himself 10 thank. His
own conduct in regard to this bill is on the
side of the accusation, and not only justifes
us in printing tho charge, but requires him
to exculpate himself if he can. The time
has gone by when men in public life can be
false to their duty and escape condemnation.
Even if this accusation was not made against
Mr. Killian, he could not escape public
odium unless he makes satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION Of his course.

A Suggestion worth Considering.

Among the many plans for adding interest
and value to our Centennial celebration is
one from the Hon. Jesse E. Peyton, the
special agent of the Centennial Board. Mr..
Peyton proposes that the descendants of the
signers should be invited to meet in the
Legislative chamber of Independence Hall at
noon on the Fourth of July. GAS the Fourth
of July" says Mr.. Peyton. approaches,
public interest in the day manifests itself
strongly, and the old Hall of Freedom will
necessarily be the great central point in the
commemoration. hundred years of free
dom will then be reviewed. no merely idle
pageant, but great homage will fill the
hour history will repeat that matchless
trust given to people has been faithfully
guarded and maintained. The lineage Of
the signers within the hall will ftly recall
the ancestry there, and fitly represent the
people as they declare anew Independence
now and independence forever.
This is novel suggestion. and worthy of
consideration. But who are the>descend-
ants of the signers? 1t is important to
know the names of the gentlemen entitled
with the ladies who are descendants of the
signers and who have as much right to
assemble in convention as the gentlemen
whose presence is desired by Mr.. Peyton?
Some of the signers, Jefferson and Franklin
among the number, left no male descend
ants. No doubt there were others in the
same category. The first thing to do is to
resolve what branch of the descendants Of
the signers shall be invited. Then decide
whether the ladies shall be welcome. Then
see if the room is large enough to hold them
all. For the day may be rainy, and it would
be dismal thing to turn any of ths
signer blood out into bleak Independence
square Then, having determined all Of
these points, it will be time to consider
what the descendants shall do when they
meet That question opens a world Of
speculation. into which we do not dare to
venture.

10 approve all the PRESIDENT dld, PROVIDED
they had their share of the public offices. So,
from step TO step, the President and the
party fell away, until the third term rose
dark, menacing, moral treason TO the con-
stitution, throwing its shadow over the land.
But for the extraordinary disclosure OF
Belknap the third term would now be the
coming issue before the republican con-
ventions. We have paid fearful price to
escape the third term, if. indeed, we have
escaped it, which New Hampshire bids us
question. The party which in intelligent
New Hampshire indorses the administration
Of Belknap may, especially by the aid OF
Estates" like Alabama and Louisiana, not
run away from third term. We have seen
in Staten Island no less a man than George
William Curtis arraigned, assailed and al
most defeated in primary convention for
''treachery" to his party, because he declared
his opposition 10 a third term. So that the
question may be asked with gravity, "What
shall we sec when these clouds pass away r
Has the republican party learned wisdom
because of Belknap, or the democratic
party peCuuSt Oh ItnQIelOn@ ullo NcM
Hampshire sustains the President who gave
Belknap his opportunities and protected
him in their enjoyment until he fell on his
knees and confessed his crimes, no repre-
sentative democratic body has said word
in condemnation Of the trusted leader who
did not hesitate to unite with Belknap in en-
riching himself out of the Treasury.
These are reflections sad enough even for
this Lenten season. What is the remedy?
Shall we so into sackcloth and ashes when
the season of penance is over to return to the
old ways? 1t seems so. We have no conf
dence in the leadership of either of the par
ties. They fight for plunder and not for
principle The gathering columns which
are soon to push into the fray fight only
for spoils. We look in vain fof
that awakening of public indignation,
that quickening Of the public heart
without which there will be no reform. So
long as ''infuence" sits on the bench and
tampers with the scales of justice so long as
personal devotion takes the place of merit
and experience in the mind of Speaker like
Mr.. Kerr so long as bosom friendship gov
erns q reform Governor like Iilden in
putting on the bench gentleman who was
defeated for the same Office by twenty
thousand majority few weeks ago; SO long
as we have o degraded Senate gorged with
patronage, dumbly recording the will of the
President so long as we have President
who sees in this supreme Office only gift
so long as republicanism bears fruit in Del
ano and Belknap, and democracy in
Pendleton and Tweed, we do not see that
awakening of the people without which
there can be no true reform.

The DISPATCHES FROM EUROPE tell fear
ful tale of storm and desolation all over that
Continent. From Havre to the eastern limits
of Savonia Europe has been scourged by
series of furious tempests, accompanied by
such torrents of rain that the great rivers are
swollen, and many villages have been swept
put Of existence. Ruin and death have
left their dreadful marks on populous
districts The storm in tho west of
Europe was markedly cyclonic in char
Acter The centre was evidently on the
northeastern frontier of France, because the
wind in the central portions Of that country
was northerly, while in Belgium it blew from
the southwark. In Germany telegraph lines
were torn down and railroad tracks torn up,
showing wind force but rarely experienced
in such high letitudes. Along the coasts
the wind moving centripetally with such
an immense velocity left very little chance
for ships involved in the aerial vortex, espe-
cially in the narrow northern seas Conse-
qucntly many have been lost, with their
crews Altogether, such o period of wide
spread storm in Europe has not been known
within the memory of living men, Our
centennial year will awaken melancholy
memories in the survivors of these terrible
catastrophes,

THERE Is GREAT DEAL OF HUBDUB about
the investigations into the Indian agencies
out in the Sioux country in which Brother
Orville was so largely interested. 1t would
seem from the avidity with which these reve-
lations are devoured by the scandal eaterx
that the thing is novelty. Now, the whole
business was shown up in the HERALD six
months ago by correspondent sent out to
this very country by the HERALD to inves-
tigate. These revelations were the beginning
of the developments which have ended with
the impeachment of Belknap and the down.
fall of the third term. The moral of it all il
that, if the democrats in Congress had read
the HERALD, they would not have had to
wait for the meeting of Congress to expose
the War Department corruption.

Reform Needed i'm the Proof of Claims
r A special from Washington to the Cincin'
natl Times says:
Attorney General Perrepont has drawn
M a bill which will be introduced in the
House or Senate after the holiday recess,
providing for different mode of taking tes-
timony for use in the Court OF Claims, and
to guard against improper testimony;
The bill also provides that all the Old
cases pending before the court, and not
brought up by the plaintiffs for argument
and decision shall come to an early trial or
be dismissed by the cour: without the
power Of restoration.
1t has been found that in certain cotton
cases involving large sums OF money, which
have been pending before the court tor
many years and never called up tor action,
because the proof of seizure was known to
be insufficient to make out 8 case, recent
proofs have been filed in court of the takin
Of the cotton by the Union army, when in
fact it was never taken by the troops at ell.
The long time which has elapsed since the
war and the scattering OF the soldiers rem
ders the obtaining of evidence to show that
the cotton was never taken, exceedingly
difficult, and this difficulty becomes greater
every year, while the chances Of recovery
by the claimant of the amount Of his claim
are greatly increased.
II the many cases which are now pending
can be forced to trial or dismissed without
the power Of being restored, there can be
NO doubt the government will be the gamer
thereby to the extent of hundreds OF thou
sands OF dollars.
