Not Good Architects of Law.

report Of the proceedings Of the American
Institute Of Architects in this city on We'd
nesday:

These men may be- good architects Of
buildings. but they are evidently very bad
architects Of law. They have overlooked
the little constitutional difficulty which lies
in their way. What becomes of such law
before the right OF trial by jury?
A retail dealer in dry goods once got

The Charges Of Extortlon.

The county officers against whom charges
Of extortlon have been preferred, are en-
titled to the same fair trial which the Con-
stitutlon guarantees to every accused per
son. 1t has been intimated that they might
be made the victims Of political persecution.
We trust nothing will occur In the proceed
ings against them to give the least color 10
such a suspicion.
They should enjoy the amplest opportu-
nifty 10 defend themselves, and they are as
fully entitled as others TO the presumption
Of innocence in their favor
But II. upon clear. irrefragable proof, they
are found guilty OF wilful extortion, they
ought to be removed. There is no reason
why they, more than others. should escape
the lawful penalty Of their offence. 1t Is
said they are men of intelligence and char
acter. The less cxcusable are they. II was
their business and their duty 10 ascertain
the law regulating the fees Of their respec-
tive Offices. and 10 obey II. And "a 70 char
acter. men who make q practice Of officially
extorting Illegal fees. though they may
wear good clothes, are certainly not men ol
irreproachable character.

Cham erlaIn,s Indictment.

We are assured by q well informed cor
respondent OF THE sun in South Carolina
that the tardy Indictment Of DANIEL II.
CHAMBERLAIN for completely in the He'll
Hole Swamp swindle is brought in good
faith by the authorities under HAMPTON,
and will be pushed to a trial. There has
been so great a disproportion between the
promises and performances Of the HAMPTON
administration in the matter Of bringing to
Justice the men who pundered South Caro-
lima in the days OF SCOTT, MOSES, and CHAM
BERLAIS, that the public are naturally dis
inclined to be sanguine Of the prospect Of
justice in this case. There have been in-
vestigations, committee reports, indict-
ments, acquisitions, and other preliminary
movements in plenty, but nobody is in jail
yet. 1t must /" said however that the de-
lay In publishing the fact OF CHAMBERLAIN' s
indictment until after election is rather
encouraging. Hitherto the HAMPTON ad-
minlstraton has been accustomed 10 set the
machinery Of justice in motion just before
somebody was TO be elected or defeated.
The frauds in connection with the Land
Commission, the bribery OF LESLIE, and the
purchase for nearly 100000 OF the famous
He'll Hole Swamp, q tract then and now alb.
solutely worthless, were first exposed years
ago In The sun The facts have beer
printed time and again in the columns of thi;
newspaper

lima record Is spotess that this indictment
Is the revival OF threadbare charges agGlns

Massachusetts, almost alone Of the thirty
States that held elections this month polled
anything like full vote, The animated
contest for Governor there called out show
OF strength that was not expected when the
canvass commenced. KEARNEy's rawlings
alarmed Beacon street. and contributed to
the defeat OF Gen BUTLER, who, In spite OF
this dead weight which he was in a manner
forced to carry, got more votes than Mr..
TILDEN did IN 1876, and actually exceeded
the vote which elected Gov. RICE last year
by nearly twenty thousand All things con-
sidered. this is a marvellous result.
The stumping, and shouting, and drum

Taking into consideration the hardness Of

very well. To be- sure. there Is decrease in
the grand tax list of the State last year the re-
ported total t2s5 $50 $50. or so 1874 800 less
than in 1876; but this is explained by the
shrinkage Of values. In live stock Georgia
was t970.606 richer In 1877 than in 1876; in
farming and mechanical tools, t43s s5l and in
bonds and stocks. 81 .i5i062 Population has
slightly increased. in spite Of the steady drain
of the Texas emigration fever; whereas In 1876
there were in the State 204. 507 men who paid
