Will Justice Be Cheateae

The effort to secure new trial for Robert
L. Case the convicted insurance president,
on the ground that new evidence has been
discovered in his favor, may or may not
succeed. This evidence can only be on one
point namely, that instead of going to the
notary public, who certifes to having taken
the required affidavit and making oath to
the correctness of the statement, the prisoner
simply signed the same and induced the
notary public to commit q misdemeanor by
affxing false certificate. The notary, how
over, testified on the trial that he believed
the affidavit was made before him in regu-
lar form. II the act of swearing was evaded
by the prisoner it is fair conclusion that it
was done because he knew that he was
signing false and fraudulent statement Of
the company's affairs. In that case he es-
capes the State Prison on n conviction for
perjury to 60 to the Penitentiary on q GER
tain conviction for misdemeanor. H. is a
mere trihing with justice to suppose that
the ex-president did not know within half
q million dollars the true condition of his
own company. 1t would be IN outrage on
the very name Of justice If criminal who
has robbed thousands Of widows and or
phans should be permitted to escape pun
ishment on a fnlse, unhealthy sympathy for
his own wealthy family.

sons facts in a manner which made them
more telling; showed that Patterson had
declared his intention to vote tor
Butler even before he was indicted,
and turned the tables on the repub-
licans by showing that in face OF the
known intentions of both Patterson and
Conover to vote for Butler the Senate had
at this very session given them more impor-
tant and honorable places on its committees
than they had ever held before. AS we
have said, the republican Senators gain
nothing but time at the expense of repeated
demonstrations of the superior strength OF
their opponents. They were steadily voted
down in all their dilatory motions, and
they ought to perceive that every separate
triumph of this kind only renders the new
alliance more united and compact.

Disaster. by Storm and Flood.

It will be impossible for several days to
estimate the full extent of the losses by the
late storm. The story OF the destruction on
land is far from complete, while, with the
exception of tho unfortunate Huron, we
have heard little or nothing from the
sen. 1t is to be hoped that the
ships on the coast q. the time succeeded in
weathering the gale and that the record OF
wrecks will be limited to the small number
already reported. The storm which has
caused such widespread destruction, 1t will
be seen by reference to our weather
reports during the past four or five days. was
first apparent in the Southern Indian Terri
tory and Texas. 1t gradually worked along
over the Southern States and through
Northern Florida, thence into Georgia and
the Carolnas crossing the Allegheny Noun
tains into the Ohio Valley south Of Philadel-
phia, where it became SO extended as to tenn
porarily lose its organized force. The heavy
rainfall began when it passed to the East
ern Gulf and increased as it advanced
northward. Along the eastern slope of the
Alleghanies the fall was very heavy; the
thousands of streams that feed the Po-
tomac, the James and the Rappahannock
were swollen, with the results described in
our dispatches yesterday and to-day.
Richmond, Lynchburg, Norfolk and
Georgetown appear to hive been the Sc
vcrest sufferers. The Potomac channel
above the latter city is very narrow, and the
waters swept down with terrific force, caus-
ing heavy destruction to different shipping
interests. In Washington the damage seems
to have been slight and was confined entirely
to the lower portions of the CITY, The
losses at Richmond are set down at nearly
half million dollars, and at Manchester.
on the opposite side Of the river, at over one
hundred thousand dollars. Fortunately
only one bridge was destroyed In
Lynchburg the railroad companies are the
principal sufferers. The Amherst Bridge,
nine hundred feet long, has been
swept away, and several others have
road bridge at Weldon, N. c., has been
blotted out and a large amount of private
property lost Communication with the
South is still difficult, and it is to be feared
that when full reports OF the extent of the
storm are received the losses will be found
to be very heavy, particularly in the coun-
try districts At Richmond and other
points the terrific easterly gale drove the tide
up channel, so that the downcoming flood
was met by one almost equally strong coming
up The disasters strongly emphasize the
necessity OF attending to the weather obser-
vations and Of extending the service in every
way possible.

Mr.. A. Oakley Halls lecture in Boston
last night probably disappointed, and it
may be in some instances agreeably disap-
pointed, his audience. The ex-Mayor has
gained SO remarkable reputation for eccen-
tricity Of late, and SO many unpleasant
public events occurred during his official
career in New York, that his reap
pearance in the lecture field may have
led to the supposition that his theme
would be of subjects better forgotten than
revived. It is possible that even in the
staid and decorous city Of Boston some few
may have SO far misunderstood Mr. Halls
character as to have attended his lecture in
the expectation Of enjoying some toothsome
ISLANDERS but if SO, they must certainly
have departed from the entertainment dis
satisfied Mr.. Halls lecture was an
amusing and novel experiment, combining
instruction with some keen political
points, and arraying all in a garb Of pleas
ant wit. Mr.. Hall lacked fitness for the
stage, There was something wanting
which precluded the idea that he could
ever be an actor, yet he possesses the cool
ness and sense Of humor which are essen
tials of successful theatrical career,
and which avail him in the lec-
ture room. He created picture
of a trial by jury to decide the
respective merits of the several Presidents
Of the Republic, concluding with drawn
verdict of the centuries, dividing the hon.
ors of prominence between Washington and
Lincoln. The attendance was good and the
lecture q success.

force of waves developed at sea the motion
becomes one of violent translation as soon
as the bottom meets the lowest level of dis
turbance caused by the waves Hence vast
bodies Of water weighing thousands
of tons are hurled up along an
inclined plane and strike any fixed
object such as a stranded ship with
incalculable force Therefore the HUI
ron may have been built with all the care
possible and in the strongest manner, but
that would not have guaranteed her against
the force of the waves when ashore near
Kitty Hawk.
We publish this morning a very full ac-
count of the disaster and also maps Of the
coast where it occurred. We cannot but
feel that this calamity was due, not
directly to the storm. but to avoidable
conditions that made the storm the instru-
ment of the ships destruction. Onr
special weather reports from the Atlantic
show that the City Of Vera Cruz, on her
homeward voyage from Vera Cruz and Ha-
vann, passed the scene of the wreck
of the Huron on the Oath, and ex-
perienced variable winds and high
cross seas" This merchant steamer did
not suffer more than the ordinary rolling
and pitching, and safely weathered Cape
Hatteras during the same gale that prevailed
when United States man-of-war with full
crew and experienced officers, went ashore
and broke up like an oyster sloop. We hope,
for the sake Of the regulations OF the gallant
dead, that the official investigation will be
jus. and searching one, and that the fate Of
the Huron will serve AS a warning to officers
who forget that the seaman who hugs the
land always courts death.

Tootsey wootseys ON show.

Two hundred little "tootsey wootseys"
and "popsey wopseys" mustered at Mid
get Hall yesterday morning, despite the
rain, to grace the opening Of the baby
show, which is to delight the mothers and
fathers Of New York, actual and prospec-
tive, for the next week or two. Two hun
dred mites Of humanity, ranging from five
the arms of proud mothers or pa
tient nurses, some in cradles, some
in baby wagons, some in miniature
chairs, some on oil tours, some toddling
unsteadily on two tiny, unreliable feet, and
others capable of running about to the
terror Of their owners and the discomfort Of
the nervous visitor-appeared in all the frills
and fnery their anxious parents could mus
ter to contend for the prizes offered by the
managers of the exhibition; two hundred
specimens Of what the Industrious mothers
OF New York are capable of accomplishing,
with fair prospect of the number being
doubled to-day, and of goodly regiment of
the future mothers and fathers Of the me-
tropols being placed under review.
1t is difficult matter to decide whether q
baby show is a desirable or undesirable en-
terprise. The idea originated in Cincinnati,
n city famous for it's fat hogs, and where any
kind of an exhibition is at premium. 1t
found its way to Eastern cities, but has not
rs yet succeeded in taking very firm hold
Of the public mind. There is probably no
great objection to such display, and if
properly managed it may be very
charming sight, even more beautiful
than any exhibition Of paintings or
statuary, as Nature is always more
attractive than art. Nothing can be
more delightful than collection of young
children, whose cunning ways and pretty
prattle add piquancy to their beauty and
keep the heart warm while the eye is
pleased. But as positive condition of the
acceptability and success OF such a show
it should contain only children fair to look
upon. II would, OF course, be idle to say
only pretty children; for where is the

Herald Storm Warnings In England.
The special cable despatch from London
which we publish elsewhere this morning
furnishes IN account of another remarkable
fulfilment of our storm warnings for the
European coast. We use the word remark
able in connection with this success be-
cause it is regarded as such in England,
where the warnings are received and the
storms they refer to cause such extraordi-
nary devastation. To us there is nothing
remarkable in the fulflment of our pre-
dictions, because we regard them at
the outset us certain of an exact
verifcation-that is, when we send
cable warming to Europe; we believe that,
in all human probability, it will be fulfilled
on the day and in the manner predicted.
The British people, who, as general rule,
are slow to accept new ideas presented in q
manner foreign to their everyday expert
ence, are beginning to sec that the HERALD
storm warnings are to be absolutely relied
upon, because in every case in which they
have been sent they have been verified. The
leading London morning journals, as
we'll rs the provincial press, have
had conviction forced upon them by
our repeated successes, and now ac-
cept our storm warnings with the best
possible grace. This is highly gratifying
to us, because it constitutes the reward we
seek for our services to international COM
merce. If possible the qualification we feel
is increased by the knowledge that the
farmers of the British Islands, and, indeed,
those of France, reap the benefit OF our
labors in the safety Of their property from
destruction by the storms. This good is the
legitimate fruit of the HEnALDs undertake
ing, and while we are called on to record
the dismal stories of wreck and disaster that
follow the veriication of our warnings it il
pleasant to note that the tale is not one of
nnmiy ed evil

What Does IL Meant

The despatch which we published yester-
day from our regular correspondent at
Washington, communicating copies Of some
remarkable statements in writing which
were left at the Washington Office of the
HERALD so TALES with n remark by Mr..
Tilden in the recent interview with one of
our reporters as to awaken curiosity as to
what Mr.. Tilden is doing or attempting to
do Is he really trying, at this late day. to
fortify his claim to the Presidency? 1t is
stated in one Of the documents referred to
that "it is known that Mr.. Tilden has con-
ferred with the South Carolina authorities
relative to this and other matters pertaining
formation thus obtained that he determined
to test the question as TO the Presidential
title in the courts"
Taken in connection with the recent in
terview this is very suggestive. Is it pos
sible that Mr.. Tilden 'lays the fattering
JUNCTION to his SOUL that he may displace
and replace Mr.. Hayes? With our high
opinion of Mr.. Tilden's practical sagacity
we cannot credit it and yet if he were n
Eighty man it is easy to see how he might
delude himself in the present condition Of
Affairs Mt Washington. If it should SO hap
pen that the democrats gain control Of the
Senate, sanguine, brain-sick man, a
''clond-weaver Of phantasmal hopes" might
imagine great possibilities. The demo-
cratic party believes, or processes
to believe. that Mr.. Tilden was
truly elected, and was cheated out of the
Presidency by fraud and perjury. We sup
pose nobody doubts that, had the Senate as
we'll rs the House been democratic in Feb
ruary last, Mr.. Tilden would have been de-
clared elected and would be to-day acting
as President of the United States. Is it
possible that he is cherishing the hope that,
if the Senate becomes democratic now, the
action of last February may be reversed !?
II we could imagine him SO supremely
egotistical and Eighty it would not be
difficult to trace his reasoning. If
both houses of Congress should repudiate
Mr.. Hayes and recognize Mr.. Tilden it
would become impossible for Mr.. Hayes to
administer the government. In that event
the Senate would confirm Mr.. Tildens ap-
pointments and enable him 10 turn out all
the republican officers. Such an attempt
would be the sure forerunner Of civil war,
and even if it were in their characters to
wade through slaughter to the Presidency
the sounder part of the democratic Senators
would not support him in SO mad an
attemNt.

No progress was made yesterday in the
Senate on the question which has engrossed
it's attention and that of the country since
Mr.. Butler could be brought to a vote on
its merits there is no doubt on either side
that it would result in his admission by a
majority of two. The republican Senators
became convinced of this last Thursday,
when the casting vote of the Vice President
enabled them to adjourn over until Monday
and they have ever since been taxing their
ingenuity to invent pretexts for delay. The
effect Of the proceedings yesterday has been
to confirm and fix the two accused republican
Senators in their purpose to stand by But
Ter. The majority for his admission has
expedients OF the republican Senators are a
sheer waste Of time which only postpones
a result which is inevitable. The principal
speakers in the warm debate yesterday were
Senators Davis, Edmunds, Patterson and
Thurman, the most effective speech de-
livered being that of Mr.. Thurman.
The brief speech Of Judge Davis, with
which the debate opened, was remarkable
only for the first distinct statement he has
yet made in public of his disapproval Of the
treatment bestowed on the South since the
war and of his belief that the Southern
States ought to be represented by citizens
who are identified with the interests, share
the sentiments and possess the confidence
of the people among whom they reside.
This explicit declaration enables us to pre-
dict the course of this Senator on most of
the questions which have suddenly become
OF such absorbing interest.
The remarks Of Senator Edmunds were
bitterly partisan, and his charge of corrupt
bargain led to great deal OF sparring be-
tween him and other Senators. But no facts
were disclosed in support Of his accusations,
nor did he succeed in giving them even
such color of probability as would justify
an investigation. Senator Patterson made
q speech of some length, which, though
rambling in arrangement, was a conclusive
reply to the charge that he had made cor
rupt bargain with democrats. He proved
by convincing evidence that long before
ILLS SeSSlOu COulLcuCeu, lOHR DciOIc
either party had any thought of such
a crisis as has arisen in the Senate, even
before the call for the extra session was
issued, he had publicly and repeatedly de-
clared his belief that Butler was legally
elected and his intention to vote tor his adj
mission. This intention has been well
known to the whole country since last
spring, and the proofs which Mr.. Patterson
gave of this fact were SO circumstantial and
abundant that they can leave no doubt on
any candid mind. But neither this speech
nor the defensive remarks of Senator Con-
over had any effect on the other repnb-
lican Senators, who had determined to
wave this charge as persistently and unrea-
sonably as they ever did the bloody shirt.
Mr.. Edmunds, who followed Patterson and
Conover, reiterated with aggravaton and q
more acrid exhibition of i'll temper all that
he had said before Mr.. Thurman then
came into the debate with his wonted Co
gency and force. He repeated Mr.. Pattcr-
