A Dangerous Kind of Innocent Young
Man.

ROBERT J. WHEELAN robbed his employer,
Mr.. YEoMANs, Of large amount Of bonds
and other property. and fled to Canada.
The principal part of the day before his
flight, and 1t was Thanksgiving Day, he
spent in Mr.. YEoMANs's office, making his
preparations. An acquaintance Of WHEE-
LAN's, a young man. was there with him.
When WHEELAN went away he left with this
young man q package which he was ire
quested to keep until he should receive
further orders. The young man accepted
the package, and in order TO keep 1t &C.
curely he hid 1t under pile Of coal in the
cellar Of house near the Police Head
quarters in Jersey CITY, The young man,
under an assumed name, received letters
from WHEELAN discussing the crimes
which he had committed. These letters
were written in Canada, and when their
author was arrested he was in the act Of
sending telegram to WHEEIAN, under an
assumed name. Yet we are told that the
detectives, who are not given TO being over
credulous, sincerely believe this young man
to be perfectly innocentl

innocent young men whose companionship

Justice at Washington.

The administration OF criminal justice In
che Dietrlct Of Columbia has long been q
standing reproach to the Court and to the
officers who have the selection OF juries.
Tho safe burglary and other atrocious con-
fpiracies Of the Washington Ring are ex-
amples not only OF the gross pervorsion Of
law but OF collision between the officials
OF the United States and the criminals,
by which the latter have constantly escaped
the penalties Of outraged justice.
Two years ago formal complaint was made
before the Judiciary Committee of the House
OF Representatives, by many respectable
members Of the bar. against Judge ID. C.
Humphreys, whom Gen. GRANT had i'm
ported from Alabama to ornament the Dis
trict Court, with a view to his impeachment
The testimony was abundant TO convict him,
but he was permitted TO go unpublished be-
cause the time required for trial was con
eidered too valuable to be expended on such
q subject.
Encouraged by that immunity, his con-
duct since then has been scandalous In the
last degree by almost constant drunken
ness on the bench. Mr.. RIDDLE, the District
Attorney, has officially charged him with
this offence, and the press OF the District
has denounced II. There is no remedy but
Impeachment, and that Is a tedious process
70 which Congress is rather disinclined.
The bar and the community who are sub
iected to this inniction OF Grantism, must
bear the evil patiently for time, in the hope
OF relief through reorganization OF the
Court after 1851. Even Impeachment should
be voted and conviction ensue, as 1t certainly
would do, there is no confidence that HAYES
would improve the actual condition by a
better appointment He would probably
nominate Returning Board rascal who has

thieves who put him in Office they prefer t.
endure the former rather than to trust the

Keeping Faith with Tom Scott.

Mr.. Ton SCOTT goes about his business
this year early and eagerly. But the other
day he had a subsidy convention in session at
Chicago. and now he has another in auto
matte motion at New Orleans. And he Is just
as busy at Washington. On the second day of
the session. he set Mr.. STANLEY MATTHEWS
on end in the Senate, and shot out of his
mouth the old familiar speech in favor Of
the job, which has done duty in such a va
rety of shapes for the last half dozen years
There is nothing in it, and MATTHEWS was
evidently aware Of the fact. But he and
Mr.. SCoTT, together with some friends of the
latter, having had some rather momentous
dealings about the time of the consumma-
tion of the Great Fraud Of 1876 Mr.. MAT
THEws was doubtless compelled, by circum-
stances over which he has no control, TO
pronounce this ancient and musty speech
once more. BRADLEY's vote having been
faithfully delivered in tho Electoral Com
mission, and tho subsidy squad having come
up to the work manfuly in the completion OF
the fraudulent count, Mr.. MATTHEWS could
scarcely venture TO withhold the consldera-
ton, when required
1t is hardly necessary to say that Mr..
MATTHEWS does not regard the proposed
guarantee OF interest" that is to say, the
grant Of public credit, as a subsidy. But,
having left his book Of synonymos at home,
he unfortunately neglects to tell us what it
reallyis We had always supposed, until this
joint attorney OF Mr.. HAYES and the Texas
Pacific came TO judgment, that grant of
the credit OF the United States to Tom SCOTT
would be a subsidy to him TO the extent OF

required TO pay the interest and when 1t

imagine that he would be compelled to agree
with the rest Of the world that 1t was not
only subsidy, but something worse. We

what il the Rule of Temperance for
.Judgcsl

The disgusting details Of intemporance
and drunkenness brought to light by the
trial Of Mr.. Justice PINCKNEYs case serve TO
suggest the broader question, To what ex-
tent is it allowable and proper for Judge
to 40 in the use Of alcoholic liquors
The strict temperance men would answer
at once, no Judge should drink drop Of
liquor or OF wine.
On the other hand, the broadest latitude
narians contend that Judge may get
drunk over night, 80 long rs he IL sober
when he makes his appearance on the bench
the next morning.
But Judge may be perfectly sober and
yet show. in a very disagreeable way, the
effects Of the previous nights dcbauch. 1t
may have brought on an acute attack OF
govt. II he Is liable to that painful disease
in which event he goes through the days
session, swapping and snarling at the law
yers as II they were all constantly running
against his sore toes.
On the other hand, the very meanest
Judges we have in the State are men against
whom We have never heard the charge Of
intemperance made.
Between moderate drinking and delirium
tremcns such a. has been sworn to in Jus
tice PINCKNEY's case, there is wide space
and yet from the one the tendency is always
toward the other.
