ANpE2SoN'S SENTENCE case of the
people of Louisiana against Anderson has
not yet gone through all its legal phases,
though Anderson has been sentenced to hard
labor for two years, and that result of the
trial is not likely to be changed. Extreme
views are taken OF this case by partisans.
allegations are freely made that the ver-
diet was not lust, and that the crime WAS not
proven, and so forth. Ii does not seem TO us
desirable to enter into the consideration Of
such points. This man was tr ed i'll accor-
dance with the law and found guilty by a
regularly appointnd jury. That is the record,
aud that is sufficient. In regard to things
done III Louisiana ii is pretty well establish
Ell that You cannot - behind the returns
and Anderson is returned guilty. If lie is
not guilty then the jury is to blame, but
there Is no help for Anderson. L. is a great
pity il Jurors viii periure themselves to put
any man where he ought not To be, but If
they Will the man must go; for otherwise
We must give Up trial by jury, and it is bet
ter tha! an Individual should suffer than that
the whole system OF Jurisprudence should
be upset. language suspiciously analogous
t. tlis was in the mouths OF Anderson and
his merry men some time aoc, when, instead
of jury ct fault, It WAS returning board,
and, instead Of Anderson wronged, it was
the American people: and If that sort Of
language was inst toward the United States
then 1t cannot be unjust toward Anderson
now.-N. Y. Herald.

THE New TARIFF Perhaps no class
of persons have more cause for opposition
to the proposed new tariff than the print
ers of the country The bill increases the
duties on plain type 10 cents per pound,
and on job or fancy type 80 cents per
pound There are but twelve type found
ers in the country, employing, all told,
less than seven hundred persons 1t is
these dozen type founders who are to be
benefited by this increased duty on types
and it is the 10000 employing printers
and their hundreds of thousands of em-
ployees who are to be taxed in order that
these few founders shal! receive increased
prices ior what they have to sell, and ac-
cumulate wealth more rapidly than they
are now doing.

Wr.r 1T COSTS TO FIGHT 1SniANS--

/, TCIruyIR.TE.-A bill has been intr

4 TEIUMvIRATE-Ab bill has been intro
duced i'll the house of representatives to
abolish the office of president-HayeS has
gwen the place bad odor-and substitute
a triumvirate The substance OF the scheme
is to substitute, by an amendment OF the
constitution, I triple for single national
executive; or III other words, to exchange
the president for an executive board. The
three members of this board are to be dis
tributed among the three great sections Of
the country-one being assigned to the
Northeast, including the four Middle and
six New England states: one to the Western
states; the third to the Southern states. 1t
is proposed that the term of Office shall be
six years, and that one member shall 60 out
and his successor be elected every two years,
its organization being modelled i'll this re-
spect on that OF the senate. But each mem
Der of the executive board is to be elected
by the country at large and not by the people
of the section from which he is chosen and
whom he is to represent Aplural executive
is not such mere crochet or WhImsey as
people trained under most modern govern
ments incline to consider it. The most pow
erful of the ancient nations, the nation which
had the greatest political as well as military
genius, the nation whose power was more
solid and durable as well as more extensive
and commanding than that of any other
nation of antiquity, had dual executive
throughout the whole period when it was
rising to the control of the world. For sew
eral centuries, centuries which form the
most Respondent period of Roman history,
that master state of the ancient world was
governed not by one king, as in its earlier
and infant period; not 10y one emperor, as
in its later and declining period, but by two
consuls, elected annually and exercising
Jointly the executive authority. The test
of several hundred years steady progress
toward supreme national greatness proved
that this mode of government was, in that
instance, at least, wonderful success.

SETTLED. Half dollars are now worth
within about three per cent. of gold coin. A
few months ago the discount on half-dollars
was as high as six per cent. discount. We
regard the silver coin difficulty as about over
in the United States. The struggle has been
a hard one, but it is settled for all time, with
the exception of slight adjustments of the
weight of coins, which may be required here.

THE OLD FRAUp.-The question Is ofsen
asked, why democrats always refer to the
incumbent of the executive Office rs Mr..
HAYES? The answer Is at hand: The only
method of putting down fraud or wrong IS
by constantly battling it. The original
abolitionists taught us that. They never
even recognized a constitution that recognlZ-
ed slavery. For many years they existed
by a sutlerance. As they grew III numbers
they were despiscd, hated, opposed, and tin
ally were courted, and from auyiliaries here
and there In close political fights, became
the dictators Of party $ action. Mr.. Hayes
WAS net elected president, and We have no
doubt he knows it. The Office belongs to
another, provided our pretense OF self-gov-
er;ment is not 1 hollow sham. An electoral
commission, borne OF 4 nation fears, 4 body
unknown TO the constitution, and yet devls-
ell to listen to and examine evidence and
decide fairly, destroyed all respect tor itself
by refusing To hear any evidence at all 1t
closed an existence Of fraud and falsehood
by enae;mg a lie, Of which Mr. Hayes IS
the beneficiary. 70 call HIM Mr.. Presi-
dent Is to counteIance the lie. 10 call
Inn dc .frcto president, which he Is, eats
up too much type, and hence We call him
plainly Mr.. Hayes. There is no attempt at
sarcasm in such m appellation. 1t is simply
4 determination To be truthful.

TIE TREATY Of CoNsTASfISorLE.-i'us-
sa aud Turkey have concluded a treaty
wnichwill be known as the treatyof Constan-
tnople. The treaty was signed on the second
day of March. and twas announced that the
Grand Duke Nicholas would visit CONSTANT
nople. His headquarters are within two
Iaiies Of Pcra, where the principal foreign
ministers reside. The terms of peace are
not known II detail, bat there Is reason to
belicvc that the Russians do not insist upon
the surrender of the Turkish ileet or the IN
demnity which was to be secured by a
mortgage of the Egyptian and Bulgarian
tributes. IL is in the interests Of good morals
that the Gar should decline to accept securi-
ty which was already pledged.

THE FALSE PLEA OF TIE GOLD MEN,
The advocates OF gold as the sole standard
Of money contend that to pay the interest
or principal of the United States bonds In
silver is a violation of the national faith.
Let us examine the subject: When congress
first passed the act to provide for the issue
of the bonds they were made payable i'll gold
and silver-or. As Thad Stevens and other
leading radicals asserted, i'll currency, at par.
Under that act the bonds were sold. 1t was
the contract between the government and the
holders Of the bonds. Bat, not satisfied with
the enormous profits they realized by pur-
chasing bonds at fifty cents on the dollar,
getting double interest on their gold and sill
yer coin paid for the bonds, and being ex-
empt from taxation upon them, they sue
ceeded in smuggling bill through congress,
in 1874, to demOnetize silver, and thus to
have the principal and interest OF the bonds
paid in gold In doing So they broke from
the original contract and invoked the au-
thcrity of congress to pay them gold exclu-
siveiy, although, when they bought the
bonds, they virtually contracted to receive
the face and the interest in gold and silver,
in full payment for them. lnasmuch as they
OPENED the door to that departure from the
rfsiual contract terms, they deprived them
selves of the right TO protest in case congress
should at any subsequent time further change
the terms, even though it should be to their
discontinue. Daniel Webster declared that
a contract broken on one side is broken on
all sides, and it must apply IN the case OF the
bonus. But the government has not taken
undue advantage of the bad faith Of the bond
holders Instead Of doing so, it now pur-
poses, by means Of the silver bill, to wipe
out the base trickery of 1874, and to return
to the terms OF the original contract
payment of the bonds principal and interest,
III the constitutional moneyof the republic
gold and silver. In place OF violated faith, 1t
Iiisithe reaiiirmation that the national faith as
lit was at first pledged, must be maintained.
