The Second Eeprieye OF PhaIr,

Gov. Fairbanks is a careful as well as a
humane man and in the further reprieve Of
John p. Phair be has doubtless consulted
the demands of justice as well as of human
ity. lie has had sources of more reliable
information than could be made available to
the general public, and he has judicious ad
visers. We have been content that the case
should be left to him for decision, and we
have crowded no advice upon him. If he
says, as he does by his action in the case,
that he has facts in his possession which
afford basis for a well-grOunded belief that
the verdict which consigned Phair to the
gallOws nav have been erroneous, it is
enough for us. On him rested the respon-
sibility, and he has exercised it.
The case has been a very strange one-one
that cannot fail to be noted one in the an
mails of criminal jurisprudence and one
which, especially if Phair secures a new trial
from the Legislature, cannot fail hereafter

of criminal justice.
We must expect. hereafter, to see in he
case Of every condemned murderer. who does
not confess his guilt, an effort to revive the
issue Of his guilt or innocence after it has
passed beyond all the ordinary and regular
tribunals. OF course every such convict can
not expect to bring to bear in his case
an incident 50 striking and dramatic
as the Downing episode, which secured the
first repricve Of Phair but he will be dull
fellow. if he cannot persuade somebody to
believe his protestations of innocence, in
spite of courts and juries and with the aid
of newspaper or two, and Of an active cor
respondent, who, unhampered by any oath
and unembarrassed by cross examinations,
shall devote himself for a month or two to
writing up new or formerly exploded theo-
ries of the murder, and casting fresh suspi-
cion on any and every one, other than the
convict, who was ever suspected of any con-
nection with the crime. it will be easy to
unsettle the public confidence in the result
legally reached, and to place the public
mind in state of apprehension lest some
terrible mistake may have been made, which
will have its influence on governors and
legislature.
John ?. Phair has secured at least two
years more Of life, unless he dies in prison
from natural causes. lie will next be viz
tually tried by the Legislature, which will be
likely, under all the circumstances, to grant
him new trial before the courts. This will
take place some five years after the murder,
and Of course with abundant chances for the
death of witnesses and disappearance of evil
dence. What its result will lie, of course
cannot he Trcgnosticated If it is able to
establish clearly either his guilt or inno-
cence, there will be cause for general con-
graduation.

FOREIGN NOTES.

A cable despatch of May 9Th, says that
Thomas Carlyle, in a letter to the London
Times of that date, thinks the present policy
of England is drifting the nation warwards.
lie emphatically declares that no British in
tcrest whatever needs protecting except the
Suez route. lie speaks of the ignominy OF
England in being connected with Turkey at
all, and asserts that the only hope for the
Turks lies in Russia'S gradually drilling
them into a knowledge and experience fitting
them to govern themselves. Mr.. Carlyle
adds that the newspaper cutlery against the
part taken by Russia proceeds from ignor-
ancc, egotism and paltry national jealousy,
which is no mere respectable than the howl
ings of bedlam.
A rumor prevails in London that Disraeii,
despite the Queens neutrality proclamation
intends to send the English fleet to the Bal
tie. or do something which shall compel
Russia to declare war against England
The English declaration of neutrality has
plunged the Greeks in despair. They say ii
Turkey is victorious they will gain nothing,
and il Russia conquers they lose all chance
of gaining Macedonia and Thrace.
Count Andrnssy has assured the Turkish
Ambassador Of the pacific intentions of Aus
tria and declared that Austria Is not mobiliz-
ing her troops. Several Austrian superior
officers, including some commanders of brig

The second reprieve of Phair by the Gov
ernor does not settle the question Of his
guilt or innocence. nor will 1t satisfy only
portion of the public. We have no means
OF knowing how public sentiment is diyi-
ded, but have an impression that only a
small portion of those who know the man
and the circumstances OF the crime believe
that he can be innocent. Nevertheless, if
there is shadow of doubt in the case, the
public generally will be very willing to have
the courts try him again. But, so far as
We can learn, they are disgus ted with this
trial by newspapers which has been going
on for some five or six weeks. Two or three
men have been securing the State, sending
dispatches from Rutland. St. Adams and
St. Johnsbury. which purpOrted to be the
sentiment OF the community, but which in
reality were only the desires OF these BOhe-
mians themselves. The public generally
will be glad to have so important case
transferred 10 the courts.-N. JOhRsbury
CdiedOnldH.
There seems to be some misapprehension
over the power of the legislature to grant
new trials. Down to within fifty years the
legislature was in the frequent practice OF
granting new trials in civil as well as in
criminal casss. but the practice was re-
peatedly denounced by the council of cen
sors on the reports of such men as Nathaniel
Chapman. Elijah Paine. Daniel Farrand,
Nicholas Baylles, Charles Marsh, Asa Adds,
Daniel Kellogg. Bates Turner, Samuel S.
Phelps and others, as being an undue inter
ference with tn 'S0wers Of the Judiciary
such laws were finally pronounced uncon-
stitutional by til Judges, and the practice
abandoned. The legislature has no power
to grant Phsir new trial, and If any
relief is afforded him it will. undOubted-
| ~, be in the FIRM of some legislation
by which he can apply to the supreme
ceurt of this county, in February,
1879, for new trial. 1t Is, at least, ques-
tionable whether the legislature has the
constitutional power to pass an act special
| ly for Phair's case, but the whole object
will be reached by a general law, also re-
troactiye, which shall allow person con
victed of a capital offence to petition the
proper court for a new trial at any time.
Whatever shape the legislation may take,
! the application for new trial will be made
at the term of the Supreme Court to be
holden in Rutland, in February, 1873. the
