qulry which the Senate, in January, 1873,
ordered. Although the law Of 1870 expressly
limits this fund to accounts not settled
within two years, it was interpreted by
JOHN SHERMAN TO cover five years. and all
the back pay was handed over to RUNKLE
The Senate judiciary Committee has OIL
cially spoken Of HAYEss restoration Of
RUNKLE in the following language:
1t follows that his restoration was not warranted by
law and that the public moneys paid TO him salary
Of salary have been paid without authority Of
law and that said RuSKLE has not become by force o.
said order Of restoration lawful officer IN the army
and that he has valid. legal claim pay eompen
saton as SUCH
To attempt TO recover from RUNKLE him
self the amounts thus unlawfully paid is
probably useless. To seek to recover them
from the mere paying clerks and others,
obeying orders, would be unjust. The real
culprit in the matter is HAYES, and he will
make no restitution.

the Marine Court Judges, though some OF
them may not be unexeeptionabe, are apt
to be superior to those OF the district courts,
and in cases in which the possession OF
property OF great value is involved, rs hap
pens in many disposscss suits, n little better
judicial material than is often found in the
Civil District Judges Is desirable
1t is serious evil that the right TO the
possession OF property worth hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars may be determined by
one OF these District Judges, whose juris-
dicton in other cases has not been per-
mitted to exceed two hundred and fifty
dollars. One explapation for the proposed
bill may be found in the circumstance that
the district courts are now deprived OF some
of the fees that they have been receiving
from landlords, who in the Marine Court.
are put to no expense whatever, but in the
district courts must pay at every step.

Landlord and Tenant Cases.

To deprive the Marine Court OF its juris-
diction in landlord and tenant cases is the
purpose OF bill before the State Legisla-
ture. Some years ago house owners who
found it necessary 10 go TO law 10 GUST their
lessees had the privilege OF bringing their
proceedings in any district In the city. II
the Civil Justice in their own district was in
the habit OF currying favor with tenants
who were workers in politics, or II he was
in any other way obnoxious, the landlords
had the right to select some other Justice,
against whom such objections could not be
urged. This privilege they were deprived
Of by an act passed by the procurement OF
some OF the Justices, combining dispossess
proceedings to the district in which the
property is situated, and that statute is in
operation to-day. Its immediate effect was
TO drive landlords TO take advantage Of long
unused statutes, which give the power to
take cognizance Of these cases to the Ma
rlne and other local courts. They found it
insuferahle TO DO compelled TO 90 before
some Of the District Justices, and many law
yers refused TO appear for them IN those
tribunals.
Now comes the bin TO shut them out Of the
Marine Court and force them into the dis
trict courts. If the statute combining them
in their choice Of districts We're at the same
time repealed, this till might not be as OBJ
jectionable as il is; but without such re-
peal it ought never TO pass.
To make no change at all would be the
best thing. The argument in favor of com
polling dispossess proceedings to be brought
in the districts where the property Is
situated is that the tenant is thereby OK
posed TO the least Inconvenience and loss OF
time; and II the local Justices We're always
fit for their places, that would probably be
the best practice. But where that is not the
case, and it is necessary 10 go outside of the
district to lind a Justice, 1t Is better for both
the tenant and the landlord TO go to the
neighborhood Of the City Hall. whore all the
street car lines and the elevated roads
centre, than TO cross the town 10 the district
courts on the east and west sides, or to go to
| the distant uptown districts. Besides this,

The Scandal in the Senate.

The election OF BURcH TO be Secretary and
BRIGHT to be Sergeant at Arms Of the Sem
ate was a scandal and blunder. The DEM
ocratic Senators from Tennessee and Indi-
ana who vouched for the character Of their
respective candidates, may be the only per-
sons who are responsible for the scandal,
but the consequences OF the blunder rest
upon the whole party.
There are serious charges against the per-
eBnal character Of both these men. Against
each there is evidence enough 10 make a
strong &c pa te case. Neither BURCH nor
BRIGHT has yet explained in n satisfactory
manner the damaging facts brought out by
the Republican press. They may be able to
do So or they may not. We do not believe
in convicting men upon or pGrie testimony.
We do not believe in putting indicted men
into high offices and then calling upon them
70 make their defence.
1t is not conceivable that, when the SEN
Rtors from Tennessee vouched for BuRcH in
the Democratic caucus, they were ignorant
OF the existence of the testimony against
him contained in the official report OF an in
vestigating committee OF the Legislature Of
their own State. 1t is not possible to be-
lieve that when Senator VOORHEES, urged
the claims OF BRIGHT he had forgotten the
circumstances OF BRIGHT's indictment for
perjury, or that those circumstances had
escaped the memory OF Senator MCDONALD,
who was one OF the counsel at the trial.
Innocent or guilty, BURcH and BRIGHT
were not proper candidates for the Demo
cratic majority TO select

A Sensible Man and n Sensible Cor
porntion.

1t was very sensible thing in the County
Register to yield at once, gracefully and en-
tircly, TO the clearly manifested public senti-
ment which demanded that an end should
be put TO extortion in his Office, and that
hereafter only the strictly legal fees should
be charged. Had he stood out against this.
and stubbornly resisted such reasonable
requirement. his official head would now
have lain bleeding in the large basket in
tended as "A receptacle for such heads, under
Gov RoBINsoN's table AS it is, his tenure
Of Office is now secure.
1t was sensible thing in the New York
Elevated Railroad Company after the
warning OF n startling accident, to comply
promptly with the universal demand for a
change in the mode of operating the road
which should be- protection against the re-
currencc Of such disaster. This was much
wiser than to have undertaken TO browbeat
public opinion. and thus have rendered this
road one Of the most odious Of corporations.
An example Of a different course and its
consequences is TO be seen In the case OF the
County Clerk. Personally gentleman and
one Of the most popular OF public officers, by
being stubborn aud std-necked in resisting
lawful and proper demands he has lost an
Office which he was every way qualified to
administer successfully.
