THE CRIMINAL CASES

Disposed of this term of Court resulted
in conviction of the accused in every in
stance except in the Moonshower case,
and in this the jury was divided 1t is
but Justice to Prosecutor Shields to say
that he prepares his cases well, and la
bors faithfully as an indefatigable law
yer to substantiate and prove the bills of
indictment, and bring criminals to JUS
tice. The safety of the public depend
much upon the rigid enforcement of the
law against transgressors. The certainty
of arrest, conviction and punishment de.
ters evil doers. The Ramie gang, of
which Murphy was one, are now dispos'
ed Of, and relieves this neighborhood Of
bad set of plunderers. The conviction
of Thompson and Mccoy will dispose Of
two more who were given to burglarious
ways. We merely commenced this ar.
ticle to mention the success attending
the prosecutions this term, and the same
has been the rdle generally for some
years. All this shows to the lawless that
Jordan is hard road to travel when the
law is vigorously and vigilantly enforced.
1t is relief to good people to know that
the lawless, burglars, &C., are secured.
Canton and vicinity had been infested
for years by the Ramie gang of night
plunderers. Many granary, hen roost,
spring house, smoke house, &C., suffered
from their inCursions for years. The
prompt and certain enforcement of the
law deters the lawless, and this shows the
Importance of an efficient prosecuting at
torney. 1t is but proper to say that Mr..
Shields has been remarkably successful
in his career as Prosecutor.

SENATOR HANNIBAL HAMLIN of Maine
is served right for voting against
Hayess New York appointments. 1t ap'
pears that the Collector of the Port OF
Bangor, Maine, Ebenezer E. Fox, is a
personal friend of Senator Hamlin, and
was appointed to the Office by Presi-
dent Grant. The commission expired a
week or go ago, and upon the recommen-
dation of nearly all the business men in
Bangor, Mr.. Hayes reappointed him.
Last week, however he sent a message
to the Senate Withdrawing the nomina-
ton, and will appoint an anti-Hamlin
man. It would seem, also, that the New
York end of the line was paying up
scores. Among the appointments made
last week to an important clerkship was
Mr.. Merceare, a nephew Of Senator Ran
dolph, of New Jersey. Hayes would
again seem to be paying for the goods.

The anti Chinese bill before Congress
brings up again the question of race,
previous condition, &c. In this country
these questions will not down, notwith-
standing the XV' amendment. The Chi
nese labor element coming in contact
with the American laborer, raises all
these questions with terrible force. To
the American laboriDg man it pregnant
with danger, and hence causes alarm
The "previous condition" of the Chinese
is not changed when they come to this
country-they are still the serfs'of their
superiors, and have nothing in common
with our civilization. As we understand
it, negro slavery was better. How comes
it that the "Protection" and old anti
slavery organs are generally Chinese Or
gansP Do these organs desire to bring
the American laborer to the condition Of
the Chinese? Their policy looks in that
direction,

A FAMILY quarrel has broken out in
the Massachusetts delegation in Con-
gress. Ever since the present Admins
tration came in, Senator Hoar and Con-
gresham Clahin have bsgged all the
patronage, and the other Republican
members have been getting more and
more disgruntled. Last week they seiz-
ed chance to get even. The Assistant
Treasurership at Boston has been vacant
for month. Clafin and Hoar couldn't
find man who could file the requisite
bonds. Morse, the Democratic member,
found one, and the delegation jumped to
his support, and he was nominated. Claf-
lin and Hoar are very much mad.

CHARLES ETHERIDeE of St.. Paul, Min,
defrauded q bank there of $4,000 and
fed. He was overtaken by remorse, and
has fully reimbursed the swiAdled insti.
tuition by turning over to it the bulk OF
his real and personal property, and he
now asks to be reinstated in the church
of which he was a member. In letter
to his former pastor he says of his crime,
that "the step was one born of despera-
ton, leading blindly as it were off the
high ground of integrity into the deep
and to me unknown abyss Of crime, "and
he adds that "atonement for weakness
in Welding to temptation and prayer to
be sustained in that object, and to keep
me from temptation will be a daily and
hourly imposed duty" Etheridge, ap'
pears really to be penitent man, show
ing works in that direction.

on Naval Affairs, read the report last
week prepared by him for the signatures
OF the majority of the committee, rela-

ex-Secretary Robeson, which has just
been concluded. The report charges that
under Mr.. Robeson's administration the

procedure in the affair to his discretion.

The REPOSITORY is a Chinese organ,
opposing and derouncing the anti. Chi

Major Mckinley Of course voted against
the anti. Chinese bill to show his pro-

considerable straddle, for he was support

Mr.. TILDEN wiped out the cipher dis
patches, so far as duplicating him was
concerned, as will be seen by reference
to his examination before the Potter
Subcommittee in New York. The testi-
mony of Weed, Mayor Cooper, Pelton
and others, corroborate Mr.. Tilden, and
show that at all times he repudiated the
idea Of bartering for the Presidency. He
wanted no fraud in his dish, no bribery
for him. See the testimony in this issue
of the DEMOCRAT.

JOHN BRKGHT ON PRorEcrloN'
The following note from the great
British free trade leader on the applica'
tion Of his views of political economy to
our country, has just been received by
Cyrus W. Field
ONE ASH, RooHDALE Jan. 2l, 1879.
My DEAR Mr.. FIGLD--I never write
for reviews or periodicals. II is 30 long
since l have written that my hand has
lost its cunning, if it ever had it.
l do not think anything an English
man could say would have any effect on
an American protectionist. The man
who possesses monopoly by which he
thinks he gains, is not open to argument
1t was 80 in this country forty years ago,
and it is so with you now. 1t ia strange
that a people who put down slavery at
An immense sacrifice are not able to sup
press monopoly, which is but mllder
form of the same evil Under slavery
the man was seized and his labor stolen
from him, and its profit enjoyed by his
master and owner, Under protection
the man is apparently free, but he is de-
MED the right to exchange the produce
of his labor, except with his country
men, who offer him much less for it than
the foreigner would give Some portion
of his labor 10 thus conhscated'
In our protection days our weayers and
artisans could not exchange with Amer
lean -four. They exchanged with an
Eoglish farmer, whogave him sometimes
only half the quantity the American
would have given him, Now your iar'
mer is forbidden to trade with the Eng
lishman, and must give to an American
double the quantity OF grain and flour
for many articles he is constantly requlr,
ing, that he would give if your laws did
not forbid his trade with England.
A country may have democratic instl-
tutions its government may be repubi.
can. and based on wide suffrage, and
VET Gner6 may U6 uO llOOuOh w HiOA AN'
that which is the source of life and com
fort. Ifa mans labor is not free, if its
exchange is not free, the man is not free
And whether the law which enaCts this
restriction be the offspring of republican
or autocratic government and power, it
is equally evil and to be condemned and
withstood by all who love freedom and
understand what it is.
Nations learn slowly-'but they do
learn and therefore l do not doubt that
the time will come when trade will be
as free as the winds, and when freedom
of industry will do much to put down
great armies and the peril and suffering
of war
But am writing you almost an article
instead of a short note-as if | would
teach you, which would be an imperti'
nence. If you could teach your farmers,
and ask the "solid South" to help them
and you, you might soon succeed. Be-
lieve me always sincerely your friend,
JOHN BRIGHT.

THE Tilden income tax case was on
Tuesdays calendar in the United States
District Court. Counsel for defense was
ready. District Attorney Woodford said
he deemed it fair that under the deposit
ton of defendant a bill of discovery
should be filed. Tilden's counsel said:
eff the District Attorney thought he
could make his case stronger they would
give him every opportunity to do so, and
the case went over pro tenn. A bill of
discovery is an equity proceeding, and
propounds questions which he may or
may not answer. Its object is to avoid
the taking over again of dispositions ta-
ken at Marqette, owing to possible er-
rors made by the Commissioner in his
report,

The Legislatures of Georgia and Ala
bama have found it necessary to protect
themselves against farmers from Texas
coming to their States in search of color
ed labor. For some time past there has
been heavy colored emigration from
these States to Texas, to the great inCon-
venienCe of Georgia and Alabama plant
ers and farmers. To prevent this license
tax of 500 has been placed on every one
soliciting people to emigrate. A farmer,
therefore, who goes to either of these
States to secure labor is liable to this tax
as an emigration agent. The result has
been to very nearly destroy this colored
emigration.

EDMUNDs AND MoRGAN.-Mr. Edmunds
is an able, and we believe, an upright
Senator. In debate on Constitutional
questions he has no superior in the Sem
ate unless in Mr.. Thurman, but when
the irritation of his punishment has sub.
sided, the Senator from Vermont him
SELF we are sure, must confess that he
found the Senator from Alabama more
than a match for him in this tussle over
a topic which has 80 long been his own
specially. The qualities now displayed
by Mr.. Morgan are not wholly revela-
ton to those who have watched his
short career in the Senate. But it is to
be put to his credit that for the first time
the Vermont leader has been forced by
a relentless Democratic grip not only to
succumb in two days debate, but in
the end virtually to throw up the sponge

THE failures in business life in this
country are far more numerous than the
exceptions. In. Boston, for example, no.
ted for being prudent and prosperous,
out of 100 firms on Long Wharf, in forty
years, only five escaped failure. Out Of
1000 accounts in leading bank, but six
remained good during forty years. In
the Probate Court for the same period,
out of one hundred estates, ninety were
insolvent In fifty years only three
mercantile houses out of one hundred
acquired independence. Failure then,
in trade is the rule, success the excep-
ton. "All is vanityp "The love of
money is the root of all evil" Success
is rarely permanent, for folly accompa'
MES, and sooner or later, gets the upper
hand, and controls to ruin and

The sum of all is this Returning
boards in three Southern States tried to
sell the Presidency to Mr.. Tilden and
the Democratic party. This is what Re-
publican decipherers maintain that the
ciphers prove. The Democratic party
and Mr.. Tilden did not buy the Presi-
dency from these Returning boards, nor
the Electoral Commission. Why did
they not? Because, said Mr. Tilden on
Saturday, "the Democratic candidate was
determined to meet such degraded
Condition of affairs, not by sharing in it
"in any degree, not by acquiescence, not
"by toleration, but by an unqualified and
perpetual protest, appealing to the peo'
"ple to reassert and re-estabish their
great right-the greatest of their rights
the right without which all others are
"worthless-the right to elective self
government" Let the people reassert
and re establish this great right.

GENERAL DEFICIENCY BILL

The amount appro priated by the Gem
eral Deficiency Bill, offered by Mr.. Alex.
ander, in the House of Representatives
at Columbus, last Thursday, to meet the
deficiencies in last years appropriations,
is but $l6,274,13. A year ago the def.
cheney left by the Republican Sixty-sec-
ond General Assembly was over $4,000
which the present General Assembly was
forced to make good. The present defc'
iency is the smallest for at least thirty
years. This is the more remarkable
since the entire appropriations last year
we're much smaller than those of 1877,
and it was charged on all sides that there
would be enormous deficiencies to make
up this year. OF the total appropriated
$4,000 was tor deficiencies in the Adju-
tant Generals Office, and for keeping the
Capitol and grounds; $S2S,S6 was for the
Auditor of State, $l2 for the Commis-
sioner of Common Schools, $SS "a for the
Secretary Of State, and S. 300 for the Su'
pervision Of Public Printing.
