HA WING DONE WITH THEM THEY
THROW THEM OVERHEARD.

The neutrality-suspicious. ofthe South
have had their day. Opportunities were
given them such as come to mo- man twice
in lifetime, A most glorious and most
solemn trust was committed to them
when the task of reconstruction was
placed in their hands and all the power
of the United States put forth to sustain
them. How have they met that trust
For years their power has been absolute;
where have they produced good govern
ment? They have been tried. With
rare exceptions they have failed disgrace
fully. Even the few who have tried to
do their best have been swept away by
the current, have allied themselves with
known plumbers in order to secure party
success, and have no chance whatever to
hold place or influence save by connec-
ton with political combination which
has made itself curse to the State in
which it exists and disgrace to the Re-
publican name. The Republican leaders
of the South can not complain that twelve
years of unrestrained power have not
been enough. Majorities of forty thou
sand in South Carolina and Louisiana
have been thrown away. Delegations of
earnest Republicans, who own property,
pray for the success of State tickets for
which they did not vote. The Repub-
lican leaders of the South have been tri-
ed, fully and faithfully, and they have
failed.
The duty of the President is not to sus-
tain or abandon individuals or parties,
but to promote the best interest of the
country. "He serves his party best who
serves his country best" So believing.
the President finds that the Republican
politicians at the South have failed, that
the policy of force is utterly powerless to
protect the Republican voters or to give
peace and prosperity to the country. But
one other. mode is left The Southern
whites have claimed that local misrule
has made them hostile to Republicanism
and that, once rid of local corruption and
tyranny, they are ready to protect all
citizens in all their rights. 1t is possible
to put them to the test That they have
the power to do what they promise no
one doubts. 1t is easy to learn by trial
whether they have the will. How could
a President conscientiously seeking the
peace and prosperity of the whole coun-
try, pursue any other course2 The South
ern whites have power to protect all citi-
zens. The Southern Republicans have
been tried, and have failed. At last the
politicians ofthat kind are abandoned"

SEVENTEEN CONVICTED MURDER
Frs.

Jack Kehoe, noted Mollie Mcguire
conspirator and murderer was sentenced
to be hung at Pottsville, on Monday the
10, by Judge Pershing, for the murder of
Langdon, committed in 1873. Kehoe Is
the seventeenth of this order now under
sentence of death in the counties Of CO.
lumbia, Carbon and Schuylkill. No day
ofexecution has been appointed as yet
for any of them, and in some cases APP
peals are pending in the Supreme Court
while in others the appeals Lave been
dismissed Kehoe has been an infuen-
tial and INSCRIPTIONS politician in the
anthracite region for a number of years,
and, it is said, made merchandise of the
Mollie Mcguire vote. He it was who,
according to the confession of his associ-
ate, Slatterly, entered into negotiations
in 1875, with prominent Republican po-
liticians of the State Ring, for the trans.
fer of the "Molly vote" to Hartranft, the
conditions being the payment ofa thou
sand dollars each to Slattery and Kehoe,
and the pardon of certain of the order
then in the State prison. The money
was paid, and the convict duly pardoned.
This whole matter was brought unCom-
fortably home to the Harrisburg politi-
clans and Office holders. The agents who
did their work were two trusted Schuyl
kill county politicians; after the exposure
they shouldered the responsibility, and
said the money came out of their own
pockets. No one credited the statement
however, and if the money did certainly
the pardons did not. 1t is remarkable
coincidence rather that the duty
should fall to Judge Pershing of sentenc-
ing Kehoe to death, for it was Kehoe who
was largely instrumental in throwing the
purchase Mollie Mcguire vote, and de-
feating the Judge for the Governorship
and electing Hartranft in 1875.
The fate of the seventeen "MolIies"
under sentence of death in the three
counties is a serious question. The pro.
scouting officers, the Courts and the ju-
ries, in the face of extraordinary obstacles
and in defiance of threats of personal
danger, have done their duty. The crimes
for which the condemned men have been
found guilty, in Cowardice, treachery
and brutality, could hardly have been ex-
ceeded by the ApaChes. A strong effort
is to be made to secure the pardon of the
criminals. The demand is likely to take
political shape, for their friends boast
they have enough ofvotes in their secret
societies to control the politics of the State
A paper has been started in the anthra-
cite region expressly to advocate their
pardon or a commutation of sentence.
Whether pardons shall be granted or not
is hardly subject for newspaper discus
sion. The power is placed by the Con-
stitution in the hand of big officials of the
State Government. Every inducement,
political and personal, will be pressed on
the Board of Pardons, but the people will
hold its members to a rigid accountable
ty for their action in these cases. The
grounds for clemenCy must he made as
clear as day light.-PW. Post.

DEFENDING HIS CASTLE.
The Son of o Former Governor Of Mary
land DlspOssessed Of His Home by the
Law, and Shot by Constable for Re-
sistlng His Election.
Hannibal (Mo.J clipper, April 2Oth,l


Hiram II. Clark, son of the late Ex.
Governor Clark of Maryland, lived with
his family near Madison, Monroe county.
He had contracted for a piece of land
from man named Alexander, on which
he had established his home. He had
made several payments on his farm, but
notwithstanding he had striven hard, he
had failed to make the others when they
became due. Alexander brought suit for
the possession Of his land, and it was
awarded to him by the law. 1t is report
ed that Clark said he would sooner die
than give up his home.
Constable Cliff Wade was sent with a
posse of men to dispossess Clark. He ar.
rived at Clark's house Friday evening
late. Clark and his family refused to
move. The Constable and his men NOV
ed his goods and Chattles out into the
yard. Meantime Clark sat in a chair
with revolver, cooked, lying on the ta-
BILE before him. II was very late when
the Constable finished moving the goods
from the house, and Clark's family, which
consisted of his wife, two grown.up sons
and several small children, had nowhere
to lay their heads They were permitted
to remove some beds back into the house
on which they slept during the night.
And until the hour Of daylight, while the
Constable and his men kept watch, Clark
still sat with his revolver cooked before
him.
With the dawn of day the crisis came.
All the family had left the room. Every
article of furniture except the chair on
which Clark sat and the table on which
his revolver lay, had again been moved
out.
"Old man." said the Constable, "every.
thing has been moved out. 1t is now
time for you to CO." The Constable and
one of his men, Mont Riley, moved to-
ward Clark as if they would eject him.
Clark quickly covered the body of the
Constable with his revolver, which he
snapped. Before he could cock his pis-
tol again the Constable and his man had
fred three shots, and the stubborn man
fell dead upon his hearthstone pierced by
three bullets, one of which entered his
head, another his neck, and the third his
heart, and either of which must have
proved fatal.
The tragedy occasioned great excitment
in Madison and vicinity. There was con-
siderable discussion as to the cause which
led to the death of Clark, portion of the
community claiming that the conduct of
the Constable had been irreproachable,
while others charged that his treatment
of Clark and his family had been such as
to drive Clark to desperation.
