RESPONSIBILITY FOR EXCURSION
ACCIDENTS.

When u New York grand jury few days
ago indicted the officers and owners OF an
excursion steamer as Well as the officials
who were supposed to have neglected their
duties in the matter of inspection, the act
met with approval all over the country.
series OF accidents had occurred and many
lives had been lost 1t was time 10 call a
halt. When the case is brought To trial
there should be the most searching inquiry,
and all the punishment that the law permits
TO be inflicted should be meted out without
reference 10 the business OT social position OF
the guilty. If all the steamboat regulations
for the security of the lives OF passengers
have not been complied with, the response
bility should be fixed, and such examples
made as will compel obedience to the law in
the future. But while thus condemning the
officials the fact should not be lost sight OF
that the public are themselves very frc-
quently 10 blame. This is especially the
case in the matter of overcrowding the yes
sells in defiance of law, and at times in deh-
ance of the steamboat officers. An eNcur-
sionist who sets his mind upon going to a
certain point hates 10 be disappointed, and
will take his chances by oyercrowding the
steamer. The company, nothing 10th to
make more money, accepts the fare and the
passenger. In such case We hold that both
are responsible. A case in point occurred
here only last week. An excursion was ad-
yertised 10 start at acertain time. Too many
tickets were sold, and all who applied for
passage could not be safely accommodated.
The officers of the boat desired to conform to
the regulations aud rejected many who pre-

Wade Ila,npton's Speech.

The adape that falsehood will travel a
league while truth is getting its boots on has
again, and for the inillionth time, been veri-
fled in the ease of n speech recently deliv-
cred by Gen. Wade Hampton at Staunton.
A false report, from a radical or some other
inimical source, of his language was at once
tclegraphrd North, in which he was
represented as saying that the po-
litical principles of Gen. Hancock and
the Democratic party were the same
for which Lee and Stonewall Jackson
fought in the late war. This was caught up
with avidity by the Republican press and en-
larged upon to prove to simple. minded and
timid people OF the North that the South was
again on the eve of rebellion, and only
waited the election of Hancock to renew
hostilities. But Gen. Hampton was not con-
tent to rest quiet under this malicious mis-
representation of his words and thoughts,
and has taken the matter up himself and
sent to the Hrrdid full report of his speech,
in which these radical editors will he greatly
disappointed at not being able TO discover
anything that could possibly he tortured
into the meaning they have sought TO give
his language. Still we doubt if any, or
very many, of them will have the fairness to
make the proper explanation and undo the
wrong they have inflicted upon this gentle
man and his section, even If they do not in
sist that the original report was the true one
and this but an aiierthousht. Perhaps ii
would have been just as well had the Gen
eral remained silent and let the matter pass,
as it had already done its share in their set
tied policy of distraction and misrepresen Ia
ton, and while it served their purpose they
would not have deemed il necessary to in
vent any new ISLANDERS TO cover the same
ground .-R,chuond .Stute.

ARcnnhIicnn prnnhccy.

One of the ablcst of our Republican jour
nails is the Commercial of Buffalo. Its ability
sometimes rises to the prophetic degree.
Speaking of James A. Garfield and the
other Congressman who with him took the
Credit Mobilier bribe, the Commercial, on
March l, 1873, used language belltting a
newspaper of eminence and Character.
"When," said the Commercial, respecting
Gen. Garfield aud his associates in guilt,
"whcn those who have betrayed the conf
dence reposed in them come up for trial-if
they ever dare to do it-thcy will he rejected
as wicked and improbable public servants"
Now the people have to pass upon the
most conspicuous of these betrayers of their
confidence. OF all the Credit Moblier bribe-
takers Garfield was the worst-except, per-
haps, Schuyler Coltax.
Is it possible that the Judgment should he
other than the Commercial predicted at the
time Can it be anything else than the re-
lection of James A. Garfield as a wicked
and Improbable public servant i"-k. y.

one of the arguments used in favor of Mr..
Garfield is that his long experience in civil
trusts gives an assurance to the country that
he would make an ADLER President than Han
cock. In the light of experience this is
very violent presumption. Ther" was no
comparison between the civil training Of
Jackson and the two Adamses, and yet will
any one pretend to say that the adlninistra-
ton of the soldier, Jackson was not more
successful than those of the Adamses, who
were trained statesmen Buchanan, who
had vast experience in legislation, in the
Cabinet, and in diplomacy, retired from office
with discredt, while Mr.. Lincoln, who had
very little training, is regarded as one Of our
most illustrious Presidents. Parliamentary
talents and skill in oratory do not give assur-
ance OF successful administrative ability.
Washington, Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln
We're the greatest of our Presidents and none
OF them were orators. But they had common
sense honesty, force of character, courage of
conviction, love for constitutional law and
order, and patriotic purpose. That is what
the people want, and that is what they will
get when they promote Winfield $. Hancock
to the Presidential chair.

NEARLY n score of murderers are at this
moment confined in the New York Tombs
awaiting trial. Two or three have been
committed since the execution of Cox and
Balbo. This affords 4 splendid opportunity
for the opponents of capital punishment to
argue again that the execution Of the mur
derer does not prevent murder. The senti-
mentalists will now have n fine time of it and
they will shout with glee, See, the gallows
has no terrors for the criminal classes" We
agree with the New York Grdph,c that the
fault is with those who make so much of the
assassin. He is treated like a hero instead
of like the despicable wretch that he is.
" Let him be kept" says the Grdphic, " in
solitary confinement until the day of his
"doom, and when he is dead let him be buried
Sin silence and without honor in quicklime at
"the foot of the gallows, and his kind will
"rapidly decrease. Take the glamour out OF
"murder and let it become the horrible
"ghastly thing it is."

Tue Republican tide of misrepre sentation

I,HE REPUBLICAN, MASS MEETING.
Political mass meetings are supposed To be
gotten up to mean something. They are not
for the mere purpose of spending surplus
dollars, giving several hundred people an
opportunity to parade, carry torches and EN-
blems and hurrah, and to enable orators to
air their eloquence. Their true purpose is
to demonstrate the strength of the party in
whose in tcrest they originate, and by argu-
| ment to convince the doubtful and wavering.
Viewed from this standpoint, the mass meet
ing of the Republicans on Thursday night
| last was n failure. In the first place it was
not as large as there was good reason to cX-
pect it would be- Where We're all the en-
ployts under Republican administration,
who, it is claimed, will vote for Garfield and
Arthur The majority in the procession
were colored people, and we venture to say
that not half dozen of them are entitled to
a vote in any State. OF the white
men who We're active, not half can
vote for n President, and the meeting
could not have influenced one of them, for
they were Republican ofice-holders. There
was unquestionably large crowd about the
City Hall but there too the vast ina iority were
people who have no vote. Many were old
men and ladies attracted by curiosity. There
We're SO many nurses there trundling baby

But it did prove that the boast of extraordi
nary enthusiasm for Garfield and Arthur has
no foundation in fact. II the party can't get

there are thousands of people naturally anx
ions to retain Office, where can one be gOtteI
