VIZ may all have to fight number Of
duels before We die, and it will be we'll to
remember some Of the nice points in the
code as exemplifed by Mr.. Benefits posi-,
ton in the recent frncas. His friends in
the clubs Of New York sum up the carC
as follows:
"lf Bennett at any time actually did or
said anything ungentlemanly and ior
which an apology should be offered, he
could not make that apology after the
assault by May until he fought with him
in the interval between the assault and
the duel his lips were closed; an apology
then would have stamped him, accord
ing to conventional principles Of
honor, as n coward. But when he had
once confronted his antagonist, and
received his fire, he was placed precisely
where he was before he received the pub
lie insult, and he could then make an OK
PLANTATION Of his conduct. This, Bennett
friends surmiscd, was what he actually
did on the ground. That the explanation
was accepted is certain, and Bennett hai
thus purged himself, according to III,
code, OF the charge Of ungGnllemanl,
conduct His friends are said to b,
highlygratiliCd at this view OF the affair
But was ii bullets or wads? The les
son OF Mr.. Bennett'a situation is not 3,
apparent as it ought to be until the pub
lie knows what those pistols had in them
We're any COWS or mules killed on III,

not think it quite compares with the

In regard to the qualifications OF Capt.
Ripley, ] do think that there has never
been nomination made since l can re.

order more perfect satisfaction than the
nomination Of Capt, Steve Ripley. He
was born in our midst, has lived among us
some thirty years, and has always led an

HIS whole career through life has been
beyond reproach. He is cool, brave,
honest and temperate, and II the

ONE of the duties of the approaching
Democratic county convention, as set forth
i'll the call, is ito make change, if
thought advisable, in the present system of
electing delegates and nominating candi-
dates" While we admit that there is a
strong feeling of opposition to the iuequal-
tiles and injustice of the present delegate
system, we do not suppose that the con
vention will feel itself fully prepared for the
important duty of making a change. If
the present system is to give way, it will
require good deal of time and labor to
frame substitute, and il can only be well
done by county convention specially
elected to lake the matter into considera-
tion, discuss it, and, if a majority so decide,
make the change. In our judgment, the
convention should pass a resolution direct
ing the chairman of the next county com
mittee to issne a call, after the November
election, for the election of delegates 10 "A
county convention TO meet and consider the
question, and if change should be deter
mined upon, then to adopt substitute.
IL this way the advocates of the present
system, and those in favor of apportioning
the delegates in each district according to
the vote, as well as all who favor the Craw-
ford county system, will all be represented
and conclusion can thus be arrived at
which will meet with the approval of the
entire Democracy of the county. ANY
change hastily decided upon now and with
out full and mature reflection will fail to
give that general satisfaction which is de-
sirable, and whioh, we believe, can be at
tained by the method we have suggested.

IL 1887 Brigham Young was an Indian
agent in Utah. The statement is nov
MADE that among his accounts in the proper
department at Washington is a voucher for
tain Meadows, September 80, 1857. The
bloody massacre OF the emigraut party
from Arkansas to California had taken
place at the Meadows only fourteen days
before the date of this voucher. Among
the articles delivered to the Indians, ac =
cording to the voucher, was a very large
number of coats, pantaloous, hats, shirts,
lcggings, blankets and tobacco, all of
which would form part Of an emigrant' $
outfit. The total value represented by the
voucher is 50, 500. In addition TO this, one
Of the witnesses to the voucher as to the
delivery of the goods 5y Young to the In
dians, is John ID. Lee, who was lately ex-
ecuted at Mountain Meadows for his par
ticipation in the massacre. Lee made n
long confession before he was shot, in
which he implicated Young as an accessory
to the slaughter of the emigrants, but he
made no mention of the delivery TO the In
dians by Young of the articles specified in
the voucher. We have very strong doubts
that any such voucher is in existence, but
if there IS such paper Brigham Young
ought to be called upon for a satisfactory
explanation Of it.

THURSDAYS Although the
hanging of six persons in one iail-yard and
-four in another greatly multiplied the risks
of the unhecOmne and sometimes shocking
scenes far too often witnessed at hangings,
nothing of the kind occurred on this oc-
casion. There was nothing to mar the
solemnity of the execution of the most
dreadful Judgment known to the law and
nothing to jar the sense of propriety and
morality of those who do not believe that
the reckless career of the outlaw and muir
derer is a qualification for immediate en-
trance into heavenly bliss. These doomed
men behaved with decorum, and generally
with humility remarkable in men of their
coarse natures and wicked lives. Two of
them, in very quiet words and tones, as
serted their innocence three of them adj
mitted their guilt; two others declined to
say anything and the remaining three
neither denied nor confessed. None OF
them INDUCED in bravado and noLe OF
them profeSsed that loud and boisterouS
piety and ostentatious confidence of for
civeness and blssful Immortality, the re-
ports of which are so often made to shock
the sense of common decency and rever-
ence for religion, after capital executions.
1t is something to be spared from this,
where the risks were multiplied tenfOld
upon one day. These atrociously bad men,
who led such bad lives, did not behave
badly when they came to suffer death for
their crimes. They had enough of physical
courage to have made them most useful
cJizeus in times of peril to society, but
they unhappily for themselves and fer all,
debased that great gift i'll way to add to
the perils of society, instead of defending
and protecting it. 1t was observable, too,
that the only one among them who be-
trayed anything like fear and the entire
loss of self-possession in the hour of direct
trial, vas the only one who, during the
long imprisonment, showed no signs of
real contrition. He was reckless and shame
less down to the last day, and then his
simulated indifference deserted him and he
broke down utterly.
Law and justice have been vindicated.
There have been severity of punishment
and a terrible example to lawless and god
less men, and TO that spirit which is salts
fed 10y nothing but asserting its own way
through violence and blood. May the time
be long, even to the end of time, until our
State shall have to be the scene of another
such event !-Ledger.

AFTER his inauguration Mr.. Hayes con-
ceived the brilliant idea that by judcious
use of the patronage of the general gov.
ernment in the Southern States he c0uld
detach the old Henry Clay Wings in Fir
ginia North Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee
and Kentucky from the Democratic organ
ization with which they are now identified
and thus destroy the ascendancy of the
conservatives in the nation. Richard w.
Thompson. of Indiana, one of the most an
cient specimens of the old Whig party now
extant, cherished the same singular delu-
sions and on frequent occasions gave ex-
preston to his views to reporters of prom
inent newspapers. There is no evidence
thus far ;hat the old line Wings in the
South intend to change their present po-
litical connections, nor will there be any
in the future. While they give Mr. Hayes
fIll credit for relieving the Southern States
from all military interference in their po-
litical affairs, they do not propose to be-
come part and parcel Of the Republican
party, which would uproot and destroy all
that Hayes has done if its leaders were in
3 PoSitich W uO 81. Sdl peI-DdS Gule III the
Southern States, one after another, was
destroyed by negro votes, the very element

The present political situation in the
Southern States is briefly but correctly de-
scribed by Mr.. Smalley, of the New York
Tribune, who has been travelling exten-
sively through that section, and who has
this to say i'll letter written from Will

HANGING BY WHOLEsAIE.-Eleven men
were hanged on Thursday last for murder.
Ten of them were members of the Molly
Maguire organization, which beyond queS-
tiun instgated their crimes. At Pottsville
six were eXecuted-tw % at a time-namely ::
Thomas Duffy, James Carol, James Rora-
ty, James Boyle, and Hugh Mcclellan, con-
vcied of completely in the murder of B. +.
Gost, the Tamaqua policeman, aud Thomas
Munley, one of the muTdereTs Of Thomas
Sanger and William Ureu at Raven Run.
At Mauch Chunk, Michael Doyle and Ed
ward Kelly were hanged for the murder Of
the mine boss, John =. Jones, at Lansford :;
Also Alexander Campbell and John Dona-
hue for the murder OF Morgan Powell, an
other mine boss, at Summit Hill, Can bon
county, Dec 2, 1871. These four we're ex-
ecuted at the same time. At " ilkesbarTe
Andrew Lanahan was hanged for the muir
der of John Riley, in September, 1874
Speeches were made on the scaffold by four
of the doomed men, two of whom, Carroll
and Roarty, asserted their Innocence
There was no disorder, though the crowds
weie very large.
Gov. Hartranft sent his private secretary
Webster \. Farr, to PoJtsville with n re-
prieve for Duffy. The reprieve, however,
vas to be used only upon ihe happening of
the contingency that one or more Of Duffy S
gallows' companions should, in the shape
of statement or confession, exculpate Duffy,
OF az least throw sufficient doubt OIL his
absolute guilt as to make a further in
vestigatiOn, in the light of the statement
of dying man, advisable. Mr.. Fairs in
structions did not permit him to use the
reprieve until he had communicated with
the Governor by telegraph as to the char
acter of any confession that might be made,
and by return telegraph had received his
orders to use it. The Governor, therefore,
awaited any such despatch from Farr for
several hours, and at lis o'clock Farr
finally telegrapbed to him that Duffy and
Munley bad been hanged, and that nothing
had occurred which gave cause for the in
terposition of executive clemency.

greater enterprise than any journal in Eu

Russian in its sympathies, and this crops
ont all the time. The English press is
rather Turkish. but it enjoys no such ad-
vantages as the Herdld i'll newsgathering
