The 10Th MOLLY MAGUIRE.-It is worth
mentioning specially that nineteen Molly
Maguires have been hanged in Pennsylva.
MIA. Martin Bergen who died on the 10th
inst, was the last executed. There are
two still in jeopardy of their lives for crime
committed in 1875. This is an example of
the retribution which surely awaits the
murderer, or to put it in another way, of
the chances of impunity which he may
reasonably count upon. The Mollies were
banded together by oaths, and death was
the penalty of treason to the order; vet
this has not prevented the Government
from securing the testimony Of frightened
or repentant Maguires. Such conspiracies
can never be sure of the fidelity of all who
are engaged in them. The judicial pro
ceedinss in Pennsylvania greatly rebound
to the credit Of the officers of the law EN-.
ployed in the prosecutions, who have ex.
hibited tact, courage and thorough devo-
tion to public duty.

MURDER IN THE SECOND DEGREE-Tbero

saves her from the gallows by technicoIi,y
Substantially, the finding means that how.
ever worthy she may be of suffering the ex.
treme penalty of the law, it would not he
in accordance with the. law to hang her
upon the testimony of one witness. and
that witness, we may add, Wesley Bishon
The whole distinction, as we have init.
mated, Is technical. 1t is not a matter of
wiltul murder or of manslaughter. 1t does
not in the least relieve Mrs. Cobb from the
weight of moral odium under which for the
remainder of her wretched life she must
labor. 1t disregards all the nice points
made by her lawyers it is declaration
that Mr.. Cobb was foully dealt with; =; and it
suggests the curious conclusion that,
although the testimony of Bishop was
sufficient to prove Mrs. Cobb guilty of mur.
der, 1t was not sufficient to send her to the
gallows. With this we are not disposed to
find fault, and we understand the neces.
sity of caution in the inflicton of capital
punishment. But we think the verdict
settles the fact. so far as q verdict can, that
Mrs. Cobb poisoned her husband, or assisted
to poison him, and was the guilty accom-
pIice of her paramour. The trial has not
shown her to be a weak woman-we are.
therefore, compelled to believe that she
must be wicked one.

ton; and that is the best which we can say
OF it. She goes to the State prison for life
and no reasonable man will say that it is
not the best place for her.--N. Y. Tribune

tain events which they themselves are

David Dudley Field ON the New Code

David Dudley Field ON the New Code.
We call the attention OF lawyers to the
interview in another.column in which that
member Of their profession who has ac-
quired the greatest distinction in connec-
ton with the forms of procedure explains
his views of the new Code. Mr.. Field is as
emphatic as Governor Robinson himself in
condemning it as mess Of crudities. On
such subject no opinion of laymen will
have any weight either with lawyers
or the Legislature. Governor Rob-
inson's emphatic disapproval of the
Throop Code in his Message made it
worth while to seek the opinion of
the American lawyer who has long enjoyed,
both in this country and Europe, the
highest reputation in connection with this
class of subjects. His knowledge of the
question should naturally progresses the
profession in favor of his views; but, on the
other hand, he may be BIASED by pride of
authorship. Be this as it may, Mr.. Fields
suggestion of commission of five eminent
lawyers, to serve without pay, for revising
the new Code and rectifying its absurdi-
ties, deserves favorable consideration. Mr..
Field himself should of course be one men,
Der of such commission. If he has
crotchets or idiosyncrasies they would be
held in check by any four lawyers of equal
standing with himself

Praying for the Press.

Evidently it is an accepted opinion in the
clerical world that newspaper men are not
yet past praying for, inasmuch as some
reverend gentlemen have set apart an
especial season for the exercise In prayer
of their benevolent intentions toward the
press. It has been reported that a certain
divine said ip one of his eloquent prayers,
.sThou hast seen, o Lord, by the morning
papers, how the Sabbath is desecrated. and
perhaps, therefore, the immediate object
of the pious interest now taken in the press
is to make it worthier Of such attention,
and thereby to exhibit the activity if not
the names of some earnest laborers in the
vineyard. It will be pleasant to editors
everywhere to find the Church interested in
their welfare, for the welfare of the Church
is thing they have oil had at heart, and
exc the welfare of particular congregations
and particular parsons. In short, the press
has done it's utmost to make the Church not
merely what it is-that would be q poor
ideal-but what it should be. For our
enormous in the aggregate to the publica-
ton of lamentably poor sermons not that
we believed that poor sermons were great
in soul-saving power, but we had the conf
dent hope that the parsons generally would
try to improve their sermons when the in
exorable types came constantly to expose
their emptiness. In that and other ways
we have labored for the good of this sacred
service. We have constantly taken great
pains to admonish from time to time the
large numbers of preachers who are con-
stantly brought into court for the violation
of one or another of the Ten Command
ments. and all the newspaper press has
done the same. If now the pulpit will re-
ciprocate all these favors we shall all feel
extremely grateful.

Legal,uea Brutality and Torture.

The scenes at Camden yesterday incident
to the execution of the murderer Hunter
were fully as revolving as any OF the par
ticulars Of the dead criminals sin. No one
with a spark of humanity in him can help
believing the jeering crowd TO have been
fully as murderous at heart as the man they
tainted, while the particulars of the legal
lied life-taking were inexcusably horrible.
The murderers worst enemy will forever
abhor whoever was responsible for the
length of the rope that allowed the victims
feet to touch the ground, while the sight
of three men Juggling at one end OF rope at
the other end of which man was being
tortured to death has few parallels in the
history Of man killing under the law. The
custom of putting criminals to death by
hanging. which is the cruelest method in
vogue in civilized countries, has, in the
esteem of English and American jurists,
place which seems unaccountable when
we realize that many other nations execute
their criminals instantaneously and with.
out pain Even in semi-barbarous Utah,
in our own country, the condemned man
may be shot or beheaded, but elsewhere
executions are almost impossible with
out the infection of torture to de-
gree at which any heart not alb
solutely brutal revolts, while blunders
like that of yesterday add to the
agonies of the victim and to the disgrace Of
the community which is responsible for
such unnecessary brutality. No lobby is
likely to excite itself in behalf of persons
condemned to death and no legislator can
make political capital out of an attempt to
change the method of execution; but COM
munities claiming to be humane and
Christian should interest themselves in this
matter until the appearance of cruel vim
dictiveness does not accompany extreme
justice and all excuse for torture disappears
from our laws, as it already has done from
those of some heather nations and savage
frihaa

than the inviolability of the mails, because,
as business is now conducted, only minor
matters are confded to the slow vehicle
of the mails. Unless communications by
telegraph are as inviolable as letters sent
by post the telegraph service deserves in
dignant denuncation. Not only be-
tween various parts OF our own
country, but between this country and
Europe, thousands of messages are daily
sent in the expectation that their secrecy
is to be protected. 1t is gross and un-
pardonable breach of trust to violate this
confidence. 1t is limited that the president
of acertain telegraph company either gave
copies of the cipher kilograms or permitted
copies to be made. This seems incredible,
and we shall refuse to believe it unless the
investigation shall establish it as fact If
it be true it was as fragrant breach Of
trust as it would be for the Postmaster Gen.
eral to open private letters and permit them
to be copied for publication. The
business of spy. always odious and con-
temptible, is quite abominable when men
in positions Of trust lend themselves as ac-
completes The opening of letters in a
post Office or the putting of base ear to q
keyhole is not whit more despicable than
the betrayal of secrets by the officers and
agents of a telegraph company. The Pot
ter committee will be inexcusably derelict
if it fails to ascertain and declare
by whose breach Of trust the cipher
kilograms got out of their proper
custody. The guilt or innocence of the
senders is entirely subordinate to the ques-
ton whether kilograms are inviolable.
Had the mails been violated in the same
manner there would be no difference Of
opinion as to the enormity of the outrage.
The moral guilt, if not the legal guilt, is
precisely the same when spies get pos
session OF kilograms. The tremendous out
burst Of English indignation against Sir
James Graham when he violated Mazzinis
correspondence was foolish frenzy, unless
communications by mail and by telegraph
are equally sacred.
