An excellent beginning has been
made toward bringing 10 justice the par
ties responsible for the killing OF fifteen
people by tine collapse oi the grand
stand at the county fair at Adrian,
Mich, on the 2d instant The inquest
by the COrOner's jury was searchiugmd
thorough, and resulted in 4 verdict
against four perSOns-the architect who
prepared the plans, the two incompc-
tent mechanics who erected the faulty
structure, and, what is more unusual,
and at the same time particularly COM
mendable, the man who employed these
three mcompetentS, aud allowed them
Ia 90 on with the erection of the man
trap. BY virtue Of this vcr-
diet warrants have been issued
and three Of the four persons arrested
and placed under heavy hail for trial on
he charge Of manSlaughter, the fourth
having hidden for the time, but will
soon be apprehended. The Coroner's
jury did well in finding such a verdict.
and there il more than the customary
prospect that the persons under arrest
will receive some punishment. a YER
diet of guilty in criminal trial and a
sentence Of from one to five years inn
posed upon the perpetrators OF this ar
chitectural manslaughter would estab-
lish Il precedent most valuable for the
future benefit Of mankind; but it is
hardly TO be expected that public indig-
nation will endure long enough to in
sure so desirable a result.

After seeing the full vote Of their coun-
ties. we are very willing TO admit that nei-
the- PAUL, nor RIDDLEBERGER, nor MOI
.FETT, was elected by negro votes. This to
the Harrisonburg Valley. We may say the
same thing OF the First, Second, and Third
senatorial districts. But we are Just as GER
tain, on the other hand, that the Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Sixteenth, Elgh-
teentb, Twenty-frst, Twenty-ffth, Twenty
seventh. Twenty-eightb, Twen,y-ninth,
Thirtietb, Thlrty-6rst, Thirty-second, Thir-
ty-sixth, Thirty-eighth, and Thirty.ninth
districts were carried by the casting vote OF
the negroes, and in no other way. In other
words, majority of the white people in all
these districts voted to sustain the McCUL'
LoCH settlement. Now, il none but whites
had voted, these seventeen districts would
be represented by seventeen Conservatives,
and the number of Debt-Payers in the Sen
ate would be over thirty outo total mem
bership Of forty.

Row. it Is clear to three-quarlers OF the
white people md nine-tentlis OF the tax
PAYERS Of the State that the McCulloca bill!
was lust such settlement as the Conser-
vative Convention oil 1877 required to be
made by the party In the Legislature who
were to be elected for that purpose. When
this was done, such Conservatives as Mas.
sey. Barbour. Paul, Riddleberger, Malone,
Blair. and Fulkerson, inaugurated new
party in Mozart Hall, and Logan war on
the Conservative party, calling on the Rads-
Gals. bLnck and ,chite, to join them In the
attyck.
The V;ndicator is not, In our opinion,
entitled to any credit for advising the Con-
seryatiye party to surrender rather than
fght-for That was what its advice amount
ed to. Mozart-Hall speakers we're in the
field everywhere, and but for the action OF
the Conservative COMMITTEE, and the ac-
tivity and energy of the Executive Com
mittee, under General Logan, the Mozart
Hall-new-party would have had three
fourths Ct both houses OF the General AS
semby. and the McCulloch bill would have
been repealed. &

az" asks us why we decline to let the
Republicans speak for themselves. We
answer, we don't decline, but shall be
pleased to bear in few lines from each one
OF them who wishes to define his position.
Mr.. EARLY. DR.. SMITH, Mr.. BousH, and
HENRY WIcKHAM, were elected rs Debt
Payers, we know. Several other Repuoli-
cans were elected as Debt-Payers, SO we
have heard, but as we do not know them TO
be such we do not classify them as SUCH.
On the whole, we deem it best to classify
the Republicans as Republicans. We done
think one of them would have been defeat
ed il he had run on the other side OF the
question from that on which he did run.
and we have no doubt in the world that the
Republicans will have caucus OF their
own before they cast even their first vote in
tbeLegislature, and determine upon line
OF policy to be pursued by them.

1t is generally conceded that Horatio
Seymour stands first in the hearts OF bis
felow-citizeps OF New York. lie is said
to be slNty-nine years Of age, and in good,
firm health. He has for ten years led a
quiet life at his country home at "Deer-
field" near Utica. Ii any man has been
true to the principles which -un6erlie the
life of our Constitution, it is Horatio Sey-
mour. II any man has been faithful to
the traditions of the patriot fathers, it is
Horatio Seymour. II any man is enshrined
in the affections of the New York. people,
it is Horatio Seymour. No one can doubt
that with him as our leader we will sweep
New York as q wbirwind. The question
is not, is he worthy, or is he true, or is he
stroug, but would be accept proffered
nomination. We had understood not. We
had believed that his withdrawal from pub
lie affairs was final. But in view OF the
possibility Of bis acceptance, we think that
public opinion ought not to crystaliZe upon
any other possible candidate until his
views are ascertained.-Rdleigh Observer.
