General Grant would not make u strong

THE ARRASr KNAvE.-Aiter Schuy.
Ter ColfaS, there Is not more arrant
demagogue IN the West than that
Western Reserve--Garfeld. The Bal
timore Gd.ette, in alluding to this
bribed Congressman, says;
"Before leaving Washington to par
ticipate in the Pennsylvania canvass
the Rev James A. Garfield expressed
some views on the cipher telegram
sensation. He was indignant. He was
shocked. To the Tribune representa-.
tive, he SAID;
1t Won't hurt the Republican party as much as
tuch state OF facts could il have been possible,
would have burt ours. We are always infinitely
more seriously bur, by moral derslictiop than
they hut II must be that II will hurt even the
Demo and this, 90 far as I know, Is the uni
versal opinion among Republicans and among
the better class Of Democrats.
These views, it should be borne in
mind, are the views Of the pious mem
bcr of the House Committee on Ap-
preparations who took a $4,000 fee
from the Dc Golyer paving.ring knaves
of Washington city. We are glad that
Mr. Garfield has spoken bis mind.
The Congressman who takes a s5,-
900 fee IRON anybody, much from a
corrupt ring organized by the people
to press claim against the govern
ment, has earned the penitentiary far
more worthy than horsc.thief The
latter has robbed but one man, while
the former has plundercd the whole
people.

KgEPIS0 DARK.-One Of the largest
bank failures that has happened in
modern times occurred at Glasgow
Scotland, few weeks ago. and the
Glasgow Times, in alluding to the case,
says "The statement in the London
Times Of this morning, as telegraphed
to us, that the story is 'one of the most
disgraceful in the whole history Of
banking cannot be denied, and is, per.
haps, all the more disgracefnl because
of the fact that the scandal and crime
occurred in professedly the most re.
ligious country in the world" 1t is
doubtful if anything more will ever be
heard from this side about "wild cat

The Court refused TO hear the
nflldavits.
Mr. John II. Hampton, who was in
icrcsird in these Sunday suits, said
that it was Impossible to send a man
to Jail without levying on bis goods at
first for the amount OF the fine. Mr..
J. Slaglc said be, too, was interested in
their suit, ard that he wished to show
that the commitment was not regular.
1t merely said that Ennis was guilty
Of working on Sunday" without say
ing what he did. 1t does not show any
oiiense under the act of 1874. All
work on Sunday is not illegal, and in
order to send this man to Jail II must
be stated what be is guilty Of 1t
does not show that the magistrate at
tempted to collect the fine from the
defendants goods, although that Is
positively necessary. Mr.. c. c. Tay lor
also supported this view of the matter
and said there must be n return Of
"no goods"
The Court asked Mr. r. II. Davis
attorney for the Commonwealth, what
bud been done in regard to levyipg on
the goods of the defendant. The law
never intended 10 imprison anybody il
fine could be collected out of biz
goods.
Mr.. Davis said that a good deal Of
the act was surplusage.
Judge Kirkpatrick" That is an ex.
iraordinary remark sir Itis strange
thing to say that man must be sent
to Jail without giving him chance tc
pay his fine"
A half dozen different counsel al
began talking together at the same
time aud there was a wonderful ap
pealing to all kinds of Acts of Assem-
bly, and similar authorities.
The Court then read the fourth see
ton of the act Of 1894, and said tha
this section referred entirely 10 cursinl
and swearing on Sunday or getting in
toxicated.
Mr.. Davis" Wall yourhouor let nj
sec the aet2"
Court -" Yes, sir; and if you cal
get any comfort out Of it you arc wei

Mr.. Slagle read from the first claus
OF the act Of 1894, TO the effect that
levy on the defendants goods was nc
cessary before he could be sent TO jail
Court" Mr.. Davis, has not a ciiizel
a right to pay bis fine instead OF goini

] Mr.. Davis-"Yes, sir"
Court-"Mr. Davis, can you sa,
that the legal course has been taken il
this ease to collect ihe fine? ?"
Mr. Davis-"I don't think the ac
asks for such n course"
Court shall hold that a magistrat,
must satisfy every means to collect th,
fine before he imprisons a man. II
this case there is nothing to show tha
this course has hcen taken, and there
fore we order Mr.. Ennis to be released
