probably on Tuesday evening. If Mr.
Burt should not be here on that evening
Prof. Hyde will lecture.
The highest expectations of those inter.

been fully realized.
The attendance is larger than was an.

The Starving Burglar.

One of those romantic incidents of which
we read in novels has just happened in real
life, and people who accept the Jean VAL
jean of Victor Hugo as natural event seem
to doubt the repentance Of Christian Hanson.
Jean Vatican is one of the noblest person.
ages in fiction, and why should not Han
son initiate his example? Jean stole loaf
of bread and was sentenced to the GAL
leys, and after years of labor escaped and
attempted another burglary. His con-
science was aroused and he became good
man in the sight of God, while he remained
only convict in the opinion OF the law
Hanson served for ten years in prison as
burglar and when he was pardoned tried to
get honest work, and failing in that at
tempted q burglary in daylight, ex-
pressly to obtain admission to Jail
once more, and thus to avert starvation.
Is the fiction of the novelist stranger than
the fact of the Tombs? The novelty Of
Hanson's case attracted the attention of the
public, and he has been offered employment
by gentlemen who believe that his profess
sions of reformation are sincere. 1t is
true that many persons who act as
Hanson has arc impostors, but all
are not, and society is usually so severe
with the offender that it should give the
sinner who repenteth the opportunity of
proving his sincerity. Hanson is free, is
well dressed, and has honest and lucrative
employment We trust that his future
career will be reward to his benefactors
and proof that a man who is sternly deter
mined to reform will not find society re-
solved to resist and crush his aspirations.

A Veto Message.

Governor Robinson's veto of tho bill di-
recting the Comptroller of tho city of New
York to pay the salaries Of the clerks and
assistants of the district courts who were
illegally appointed in 1876 will meet with
general approval. 1t is clear and concise in
it's statement of the constitutional objections
to the bill and unanswerable in its refuta-
ton of the plea of equity by which the
measure was pushed through the two houses.
The District Court justices who took office
in 1876 removed the existing clerks and as
sistants and appointed others in their
places in the face of protest against
the legality of tho act. The courts restored
the old employees and gave them the full
pay. Judge Robinson shows that to pay
the clerks who have no legal claim on the
city second salary is in direct conflict
with the provisions of the State constitu-

Tho Troy strike.

The receipt of a mysterious letter of a
kind that sometimes proves worthy Of
attention caused the HERALD to send and
obtain accurate information about the
strike of the Troy iron moulders. 1t is
creditable to the unemployed moulders
and assuring to the public that the main
charge made by our informant seems
without better foundation than bad scare.
The explanations of the propretors as to
the method Of work in the foundries make
it practically impossible that explosives can
be secreted in moulders' boxes or the loose
sand with which they are filed Besides,
single explosion of any such guam
tity of dynamite as that alluded to
would effectually blast the hopes of the
strikers by running the foundries near which
they remain. Those who know the strikers
to believe any such terrible charges against
them. That the feeling between the old
hands and the new is very bitter is not
denied, but it is not easy to imagine how it
could be better With each party the
struggle is one for bread, and the SUCCESS
That actual violence has so seldom been in
dulged in speaks we'll for both sides.
That there has been great deal of ugly
talk is natural enough for, as tho
President of the Mouldcrs' Union said to
our reporter "When men are out of work
and starving they are not likely to be over
nice in their language or conduct when they
meet in the streets those whom they fancy
are the means Of taking the bread out of
their mouths" A similar defence might be
made for the non-union men, who arc cursed
and abused for tho sole fault OF earning
bread for themselves. The situation is bad
enough at best hundreds of men are idle,
angry, penniless and hungry, and there IS
too little work for tho hands that can do it.
There is but little danger, however, that the
troubled workmen will develop into MUIR
derous villains and deprive themselves Of

.n.a for tn. coo,.r

Our lively neighbor, the Graphic, gives
pithy pictorial application to the horse rail-
roads and rapid transit of the old joke about
bovine opposition to the railroad. One Of
the first objections made in England to the
iron horse was that he might occasionally
meet in his path some obstinate cattle, and
in such an event the country gentlemen
could see only calamity to the train; for
they were not yet in possession of any stand
ard by which they could form conception
of its tremendous momentum. One of
them, therefore, put the case to Stephenson
as to what would happen if a cow should
get in the way, and he answered quietly,
1T would be vera bad-for the coo'." This
story should be remembered by the people
who are snorting and believing around and
throwing up dirt in their antics of OBJ
lection to that great enterprise which now
moves with all the momentum of popular
determination. All the hostility of horse
railroad companies or private owners will
not avail to defeat the purpose of the people
to have an easy means to traverse the dis
tances between their homes and their places
of daily occupation. An injunction was
placed yesterday on the operations of the
New York Elevated Railroad Company; but
that farce will come to an end il the legisla-
ton proposed with regard to injunctions of
this class shall, as we trust it may, get safely
through at Albany.

constitutfen.l Turkey.

An Ottoman Parliament was actually
opened yesterday by the Sultan in person,
which is one of the queer facts of contem-
given elsewhere, is at least successful imi-
tation of similar efforts in really constitu-
tional countries. 1t is not yet fully
certain whether Parliament will give
play to any real political vitality Of
the Turkish nation, or whether its
acts will more resemble the grimaces
and contortions of corpse moved by a
galvanic battery. In its original theory, and
at times in practice, the Turkish system was
an absolute democracy, in which all men
were equal, and the Sultan welded the
sword in the general interest; but in fact it
has grown into system of privilege SO OPP
pressive to all but the few that the mere
piled in the existence of parlia-
ment, seems like a mockery. 1t is
Characteristic popularity of the situa-
ton in Constantinople that it seems impos-
sible for Turkey to go on for any time as she
is, and equally impossible to make any
change that will certainly be for the better
The Sultan, helpless by natural incapacity
will not permit the existence near him of
any man whose talents might meet
the occasions to which he himself is M
equal; and the constitution comes in to
cripple the endeavors of IN executive in
nation where there is no popular will to
stand in the place of that sovereign will that
the law limits. In these conditions ruin
impends, and the great neighbor with half a
million men under arms stands by and
waits his opportunity.
The New York herald., 1877-03-20
Police BrutaIittcs.

The frequent recurrence Of atrocious out
RACES by police officers on the persons Of
helpless prisoners and inoffending citizens
is grave cause for alarm. 1t would seem
that the brutal instincts Of these uniformed
thugs are under no restraint, that they
deem themselves above the law, and rely,
when an outcry is raised against them by an
indignant public, for countenance and pro-
lection on the authorities who should be
most ready to punish them. Witness the
case of Thompson, the brutal bully who ar
rogated to himself lately the powers of
policeman, judge, jury and executioner in
dealing with half intoxicated but harm
less man on Park row. Has this model
officer been punished as he deserves? Not
at ALL His witnesses come forward in
crowds and proclaim his virtues and eff
ciency He is said by them to be man of
extremely gentle disposition. He is tried,
but the jury, remembering the possibilities
before them in the public streets in case he
is convicted, agree to disagree, and so "the
mildest hammered man that ever scuttled
ship or cut throat" goes scot free in all
probability. He is again turned loose on the
public streets, and, doubtless, feels quite
proud of the notoriety he has achieved.
Another case has now come up for
investigation. Policeman Nevin, while
calmly doing at the station house, dreams
dream of glory and blood. He arises,
arms himself with piece of brass, and sal
lies forth in search of somebody to mutilate.
He remembers that boy charged with burg
larry is lying, half drunk, in neighboring
cell. Then Nevin, seeing his opportunity
and procuring the keys, proceeds to investi-
gate the case against the prisoner after his
own fashion. As the boy Bronner did not
Immediately plead guilty to the charge the
judicial Nevin hacks his eye out with the
piece of BRASS Fortunately in this instance
Inspector Thorne has taken the matter up
and brings charges against Nevin. There is
some little prospect that the rufian will be
punished. If all our inspectors would only
act as promptly as Inspector Thorne the
zeal for murderous assaults which seems to
fill the hearts Of some Of 'the finest police
in the world" would be moderated, and the
courts would once more resume their pre-
rogative as the dispensers Of punishment in
the name of justice.

awaiting execution for that awful crime
Twenty years have rolled away since the
tragedy was enacted in that smiling little
valley, wherein over one hundred and
twenty men, women and children were
ruthlessly and treacherously slaughtered
in cold blood by the men in whom they
trusted for protection. For twenty years
the bones of the victims have bleached
and mouldered in the Wilderness, and
the fell deed has remained unavenged.
Now, however, the hand of Justice
has grasped the guilty monster who
is responsible for this hideous crime,
and civilization awaits with impatience
the sound of the volley that is to
complete the stern work of retribution
Rumors of an appeal to the Territorial Ex-
ecutive for the exercise of clemency reach
us. Time is regarded by some as
mitigation of the enormity of the
crime-that is, because Lee escaped
for twenty years and managed to attain
prominence in his Church he should not
suffer the extreme penalty. Perhaps the
fact that Lee has many sons and grandsons
to revenge his death may influence the de-
cision of the Governor, and render Mormon
