To day.

Today cleses one of the most I'M
por,ant political campaigns ever
known in the history OF the country.
The eyes of the whole United States
are fixed npon New York, and the
people will await with trembling
anxiety the intelligence over the
wires. 1t is impossible TO more than
conjecture the result. Democrats
have good cause 10 fear de;eat but it
will be not on account OF principle
but the personal unpopularity of
Robinson, IL however the people
prove true 10 their party, subscribing
personal dislikes then victory and
glory win follow.

Buford's lawyers have taken occa-
sion to to differ with the Court OF APP
peals and the Governor, as 10 the lat
ter's power TO appoint special Appel
late Judges TO try Buford's appeal.
These attorneys have published their
opinions OH the subject. They in
sist that the Court of Appeals, as at
present constituted, can not try the
case, and that the Governor has no
authority 10 appoint others, there
fore, they insist, that as Buiord has q
right to appeal, and rs no one can
try il, that he can never be punished.
How these lawyers expect this
difference OF opinion 10 be settled is
not exactly clear. The special APP
pellate Judges will hardly undertake
10 decide that their appointment was
made without authority. A court
will judge Of the nature and extent
of its Jurisdiction. But il will not
stop 10 consider or pass upon lis own
existence. Not only would II violate
the principle that no one should aci
as judge in his own case, butt would
assume 10 determine that which
others have already authoritatively
decided.
The Court of Appeals seem 10 have
given the subject most careful con
sideration, and their opinion has me-
general approval. They have acted
and the Governor hos acted. 1t il
rather late TO expect any retraction
If those appointed by the Governor
shall accept their appointments, WI
imagine Beford's appeal will be tried
and decided fairly and justly on III
merits. If he has not had a fair trial
according 10 the laws of the land, le
him haveit II innocent, let him q
free. Ifguilty, let him suffer. TIL,
present constitution is not all W,
would have il, but it seems entirel,
adequate in tho present emergency

Fault Finding.

Napoleon said that the man who
never makes mistake never makes
war. Those who content themselves
with standing aloof from revival and
temperance work, and devote their
energies to pointing out the mistakes
and blunders of those who are in the
struggle, are making themselves the
greatest OF all blunders. Nothing is
easier than fault fin ling. No talent,
no self denial, no brains, no clarac-
ter, arc required TO set up in the
grumbling business, '..
