IL The Iolton Recorder calls our little item
relative to the death of Tweed, "wasted sympa-
thy" Call it what you may, we do not like
persecution. Justice is not persecution. II
Tweed had been convicted, and sent to the pen
itentiary, that would have been justice, and the
world would have said, Amen. But lie was kept
in Jail, and the hope held out to him, that if he
would make confession, he should be released
He made the confession; and then qubbles were
set up, and he was harassed, and kept between
hope and disappointment, until his health broke
down, and he died. And now, his confession
must be taken for what it is worth, and there is
no chance for restitution of the stolen property
Tweed was not benefited, and the community
has gained nothing. They simply kept him in
Jail, trying to worry something ont of him that
he could not or would not tell, instead of con-
victing him and furnishing him for what they
could prove; and now he is dead, and they have
got nothing. The health of even murderers is
carefully attended to, in prison. Tweed's health
evidently broke down in Jail, if the fact that he
died may be taken as evidence. We have never
heard that the laws of any of the United States
recognized torture as n legitimate mode of ex-
torting confession.

tS' President Hayes does not let his policy of
reconciliation stop with the promotion and hon.
oring of the worst rebels in the nation, but is
opening up the cases of officers who were dis
missed from the Federal army, during the war,
for acts of corruption and treason, and restoring
them to their former rank with back pay. Fitz-
John Porter was court-martialed and dismissed
for disobedience of ORDERS at the second battle
of Bull Run, in consequence of which the Union
army was defeated. 1t was considered, at the
time, to have been an act Of downright treason,
for which he should have been shot. He made
repeated attempts, during former administra-
tions, to have the case re-opened, but the facts
were clear that he failed. Now Hayes has
granted him re-hearing, upon his promise to
prove his innocence by the testimony of Rebel
officers, who were benefited by the act for which
he was dismissed. Now, We suppose that au
ofice.holder who has been dismissed by Hayes
for taking part in political campaign in favor
of the Republican party, could not begin to se-
cure q reconsideration of his case.

A TRUE LIKESEss.-We believe the editor of
the Wathena Adrance used to be painter by
profession. Whether he ever did anything on
portraits, we do not know; but the following
picture which he draws of the Bulletin editor, is
true to life:
PoPProoCK.-The editor of the Troy Bulletin is GER
tanly verdant, if he imagnes he can pull the wool
over the eyes of the people Of this County by con-
stant howl about his love and pity for the .poor tax
payers" He says he offered the herd law adver-
tsement to publish, but refused because would take
money ont of the pockets of the people, Now, every
body who knows the editor of the Bulletin, knows he
will reach just far after nickel any other man.
and that his profession of sympathy for the tax payer
is all bosh, brag and buster. If he could get the
County printing at legal rates. he would take it to-
morrow, and he would be fool if he didn't. Sensible
people are sick of the Bulletins hue and cry about
the dear Taxpayers and how the people are being
robbed by paving legal rates for the County printing
The truth is, Bridges is 9 sofehced. uiefin was
started for the express purpose of getting the County
printing Failing in this, its editor makes mouths Mt
the Commissioner and is trying stir up the preu-
dices of the people against them. We have Ak to
grind in saying this. We simply state what is true
and the people know il.

!B The st. Joseph Herald, which has hereto.
fore predicted the denomination of Gov. An.
thony without much opposition, has come ont
in bitter article against him, and favors the
nomination Of Col. John A. Martin. The Herald
being as much of Kansas as Missouri paper
wields a large influence in this State. Every
step that the Governor has taken, of late, has
seemed to be unlucky. His letter on the fnan-
cial question did him only damage; his raid on
Emporia greatly injured him in one of his strong
holds; and now he is getting the credit Of the
appointment of F. P. Baker as Commissioner to
the Paris Exposition, which meets with univer-
sal condemnation throughout the State. 1t is to
be hoped that the State Convention will not in :
sist upon nominating Anthony for re e-election.
He would be elected, if nominated, beyond q
doubt, but by much smaller majority than the
Republicans can poll in the State. The evil
consequences would he felt in other directions
1t would place the party at heavy disadvan-
tage in the campaign, and be the means of los
ing many members of the Legislature and Conn
ty officers. These things that should be
taken into consideration, as well rs the mere
election of State ticket by some sort of a ma

y Some twenty-eight members Of Congress
filed their protest against bill appropriating
money for the Improvement of rivers. Their
reason was the old Democratic argument against
the Constitutionality of the General Govern

ago. But the protesting members were not all
Democrats number of them were Republ-

II The Bulletin has an extraordinary lawyer
in it's employ. 1t is the opinion of this brilliant
lawyer that the herd law is not worth shucks,
but that worthless as it is, the Board had the
authority to enforce it; and now that they
have ordered its enforcement, to take place next
September, they have not the authority to re-

STILL Our OF LUCK The Congressional In
vestigating Committee, of which Glover, OF Mis-
souri,, Is Chairman, which was created for the
purpose of exposing Republican corruption, un-
earths about one Democratic rascal day, on an
average, with a number of precincts to hear
from, and has not yet caught Republican IN its
net. 1t is doing better work than the RepuJli-
cans could have done, for the Democracy cannot
go back on it. OF course, they are bowling
against it, like hungry hyenas, but they cannot
call its work Republican ISLANDERS.
The Democratic Legislature of Ohio is in equal
ly as bad fix. We recently spoke of one of its
members, named 0Connor, who was accused of
being deserter, bounty Jumper, a perjurer,
aud a penitentiary convict. O'Connor produced
letter from a Deputy Warden of the Michigan
Penitentiary, saying that, while O'Cohnor bore
the same name as the convict, and there was q
striking similarity in some of the features, still
there was wide difference in Others and he
was satisfied that the Legislative O'Connor was
not the "three fingered Jack" of the penitentiary.
0'Connor read this letter before the Legislature,
and convinced his Democratic colleagues that be
was all right. But Republicans kept at work
hunting up his record, and ascertained the fact
that the pretended Deputy Warden had never
been Deputy Warden at all, but had been
fellow-convict with O'Connor, who was the iden-
tical "three-fngered Jack" Then an investiga-
tion was ordered, and O'Connor sent in his rcsig-
nation. But the Democratic members could not
pass of the insult and outrage in that way. They
refused to accept the resignation, but propose to
ventilate him, and then kick him out, and send
him forth TO the world with character"

An "UNGRATEFUL WRETCH."-The last Balletia
gives q whine about its enemies inducing un-
grateful wretches to sue it. This is intended to
belly ache the public into the belief that some
person, who owes his very existence to the edit
or of the Bulletin, has been induced by the ene-
mics of that individual to sue him. 1t may sur
prise a sympathizing community, and induce
them to dry their tears, to learn the facts. This
ungrateful wretch is printer, who has family
to support. He worked on the Bulletin, early
and late, day and night, at the munifcent wages
of $40 per week. This uDgrateful wretch
thought he was getting rich too fast, SO he
threw up his situation. After waiting eight or
nine months for his pay, and failing to get it,
the ungrsteful wretch, not content with the
honor and condescension shown him, by permit
ting him to work on the Bulletin, actually saed
the editor for his wages, and there is no ex-
emption of property from execution against a
debt for labor, the editor was compelled to pay
him, after failing to get security on stay bond,
to keep the ungrateful wretch out of his money
for four to six months longer!
