JdTV 4ND LYNCHING,

The trial at Atlanta, Ga, of Samuel II. Hill for
the murder of john Il. Simmons. has resulted IN a
conviction Of Hill, who has been sentenced 10 the
penitentlary for life. The circumstances of the
case the locality of the events and the peculiar in
huences brought to bear upon the jury. make this
atfair noteworthy Hill shot Simmons for the al
legged seduction of his wife. Hrs appeal to the jury
was one of remarkable pathos. He spoke OF the
rI1in of his home of the cruel injury done to hs
domestic affections and of the peculiar vindicaton
of his honor TO which he had been compelled TO re-
sort Ordinarily such appeal, if substantated

oujttal Juries for long time have been too much
IN the habit of permitting hOmcldal husbands, who
take the law into their hands TO go scot free:
and the public has acquiesced in this disregard of

be the FIRST or among the first. TO insist upon
sterner consideration of such private reyenges As

came of this protest. There no attempt of any
importance on the part of the officers of the law to
prevent the murder. The Regulators" had their
own irregular way.

law as this will continue not in the South only but
in some other parts Of the country until the majesty
of the law shall have been properly yndcated by
the formal and authentic hanging of a Lynch Judge.

imply Ignorance, perverted sense of Justice. and
mistaken notion Of the true nature and purpose of
judicial punishmens.

THE null MYSTERY SOLVED.

The mystery surrounding the murder OF MIS-.
Hull has been solved at last. dispatch from
the Chief of Police in Boston announces 'hat
he has in custody the negro OF whOm
the police seem to have been really In
search all this time, but whose name
has not been mentioned before, the
negro Francis having monopolized pupnc
attention. The man arrested in Boston has III
his possession two of the missing articles OF
jewelry upon which most stress has been iaid
in the investigation, and he confesses the
crime. He was employed in house opposite
Mrs. Hull's residence which made 1t easy LOT
him. of course, to learn all about her habits
of life, her jewels, etc. The disclosure
is confirmed in all respects by the con-
fession of the man himself, and the po-
lice viii win great credit Tor what H.

ceived that they were carefully cOntrved by
some one within the house to turn suspl-
cion away from some inmate. In the
same way. the fact that only portion of Mrs.
Hull's valuables were stolen was explained,
rot on the natural and easy supposltion that
the robber found he had committed
murder and fed without caring If
there were diamonds to be had by
| the handful, but on the forced and unnat-
ural theory that the partial robbery was
committed to cover up the murder, aud that
all the binding and gagging of the unfor-
tunate woman was done after death-a hide
Gus masquerade to conceal the real crime. and

the ingenuity of those police officials who have
advanced this view, and of those newspapers
! which have gone out of their way to support It,
was bankrupt. But the theory had The counte-
nance Of reputable members of the medical
profession, and obtained universal currency
and much credit.
To-day il is blown into thin air by the
confession of the murderer himself, which Is
set forth in dispatch. from Boston. The
purpose of the man was robbery, and when be

fled The natural theory of the case
is sustained. The persistence with which
the unnatural theory was urged upon
the public is the more culpable be-
cause it has been the means of turn

had no conceivable motive for such an act,

sanctity of sorrow, deserve the lasting reproba-
tion of all good men and women.

were none of the sneers and jeers and scon-
ings with which former vetoes have been re-
ceived. Such manifestations OF feeling were
in the highest degree dscreditable TO the
House, which should always respect itself as
well rs the President of the United States, ana
it is to be hoped that they have come to an
end. Indeed this whole business of applause
and counter-appause in the House, to say
nothing Of less respectable demonstrations
might well come to an end 1t is apparently
of recent growth, and it has gone Tar enough.
II is only necessary for ore party to adopt
the policy of desisting; and this the hepuon-
cans may be said to have begun 10 90 yes'ci-
day, under General Garfields lead.

intention, or the design of doing anything
but take partisan advantage. The riders
on the Appropriation bills have no other
purpose than to increase their chances
and handicap their opponents in future
elections. There is not a Democrat III
Congress who will say, upon his honor
a man, that he believes the riders
on the Army and Judicial Expenses bills are
intended TO meet any actual danger, or serve
any other than partisan purpose Every
step in the proposed legislation has oeen WIFI
the intent 10 tie the hands of the Republicans
in coming elections, and leave to Democrats
the freest and most unrestricted opportunities
to resort to violence and fraud
In any other party the assurance ana Ell
froutery with which these schemes are pushed
the aggressive and dctatorial manner IN whlch
they demand the largest license for them
selves and deny the faintest show OF justice
OF fairness to their opponents, would be amaZ-
ing. When there is any talk of Federal SUI
peryislon in Congressional elections they say
Glands Olfr' and will have none OF 1t.
Nothing will content them but the removal OF
all safeguards, and The opening of the ballot-box
10 free frauds such as they resorted to to carry
New-York in 1868. Business they mean
business They must carry New York III
1880; that's the long and short OF 1t; ana
that is why there has been all this mischief
of an extra session and delay in business.
when, to their proposition to prohibit " bay
"onets at the polls" which no intelligent
person pretends to believe is an actual danger,
Senator Blaine proposes TO add prohibition,
under heavy penalties, of the carrying
10 ha
of wide extent and practical character,
which has already resulted IN bloody con-
sequences in many places, while there was
never known an instance of violence or
disorder from the presence of troops at the
polls-they cOOly put the proposition aside.
Whvf Because the Solid South is necessary
to Democratic success, intimidation at the
polls necessary to Solid South, and pistols
IN the hip-pocket are necessary to intimidation.
And the latest proposition is the one 80
warmly advocated by Mr.. McLane, OF Mary
land, the other day, prohibiting Federal ON
GERS, claimants and contractors from making
contributions for political purposes, under
heavy penalties-the object plainly enough De
ing to prevent Republicans holding Govern
ment Offices from making voluntary coDtrlDu-
lions for election expenses, while Democratic
ofiice-hoders are at liberty to contribute or
paw assessments as they please.
Every move of this Laundering and blunder-
ing majority in Congress has been with the
clear and unmistakable purpose of tying the
hands of their opponents, and taking every
possible partisan advantage for themselves.
However obscure their other objects may have
been-if they have any-or however blndiy
and gnorantly they have staggered toward
this, one thing is absolutely clear that the
single object to which the Democratic leaders
at Washington are directing all their ener-
GIGS. is success in 1850. And they are at
tending to it 50 closely that they are dong 1t
altogether too much.

Nothing could be more unpleasant in all its as
poets than the riotous proceedings at Chicago nor
does it make matters at all better that the trouble
occurred on Sunday. 1t will be argued in favor of
the Bohemians that they were nsulted and NAL
treated by intruders who were either Americans
or Irishmen. Nothing is 10 be said in extenuaton
of violent ill-behavior of that character. But on
the other hand what to be said of the presence of
a foreign military organization, invited ostensibly
as a guard of honor. but amply provided. as il
turned out, with ball caftridgesf Considering that
the festival was that of 4 Sunday school, and that
the principal amusement was that of dancing, il is
difficult to understand why the presence of twenty
armed men should have been considered necessary.
duct of the assailants, who should have been
marched of by the police and locked up but at the
same time il is far TO observe that the military dis
play must have been irritating to the ntruders. III
there had been intmaton that il ex-
pected there might have been assault. The
Bohemian sharpshooters are volunteer, and prOba-
bly, an unlawful organization, in no way recognized
by the authorities. Their parade with ball cart
ridges was as much violation of law the attack
made upon them by the rioters. There was a gen.
era and wholesale violation of the law, aud no bet
ter result was to be expected.

Tammany Hall has issued the usual invita-
ton TO the faithful to come up to that strong
hold Of the Democracy next Fourth OF July,
and to listen to the annual eloquence upon
that festive day. Ii must be admitted that the
call is a little in the funeral style. The friends
and relatives of the deceased are invited to
attend "At the end Of the civil war;" it says
"ouT enemies proclaimed the Democracy dead
"and only awaiting burial. The corpse soon
"arose and walked abroad once more" And
is walking still, il seems. Now, whether a
corpse walking is any more agreeable or en-
filled TO respect than corpse keeping quiet
is an open question; but corpse issuing IN
yitatons to a Fourth of July jOllitication
mustn't be surprised if sensitive people send
their regrets.
The letter from our staff correspondent at
Leadvile, which is printed on another page,
is designed to correct the grossly erroneous
notions which have been current respecting
the probable yield of the carbonate belt of
Colorado during the present year. very
careful, and yet liberal, estimate of the ont
nut for the Leadvile camp places 1t at S1O.-
OOO. 900 or 81 900, 900, instead of $50, 1000,
600 or 100000 as rumOr has had it; and
the output for The whole State Is placed at
probably $25,0OO,O 600, instead of the wild
figures which have been in circulation. While
the development of other silver fields. whose
existence is already known, will no doubt
much increase the Colorado yield, there is
every reason to believe that these figures will
cover the product of 1879.
One of the uses of Democratic adversely
has been, it seems, to improve the manners
Of the majority In the House. When the
