Desperate Means to Get Rid of Hus.
band.

THERE are many people who fret
against the laws delays; but very few,
it is to be hoped, would resort to such a
summary mode of obtaining justice as
has been taken by Mime. Robyns, the
wife of Belgian officer, who has for
two or three years been-pleading for a
separation from her husband. Finding
that there was no prospect OF an early
decision in her favor, she induced one of
her friends to put himself in communi-
cation with a fencing-master at Lille,
who advertised in the newspapers, and
arrange with him TO seek aquarrel with
her husband and run him through.
The fencing-master, who appears TO
have been ready to champion any cause
for which he was well paid, was given
800 francs on account, and dispatched
to Ypres, where the husband was quar-
tered, having received minute instruc-
tions how to identify him and pick a
quarrel. Unfortunately he began by
fortifying his courage with strong waters
at cafe in the town, and imbibed them
so freely that he lost all command over
his tongue, confding to a friend of the
officer the errand upon which he had
come. The officer was at once informed
of what was in store for him, and had
his wOuld-be adversary arrested, His
avowal led to the further arrest of Nine.
Robyns and her friend, who have been
sentenced to a months imprisonment,
while the fencing-master, having de
clared that he meant all along to accept
the reward and not to fight, was acquit-
ted by the tribunal before which the
case was tried.

AN VULNERABLE RECORD.

Gen. UancOck'haS now been in nOmi-
nation long enough to develop every Oh
lection 10 him If any there hal been.
Thus far the cfIUr. to discover blemish
on his record, or Il weakness in his can
didaCy, has proved an utter failure.
There was at first a dismal attempt to
raise a cry against him as mere soldier,
but it came with an i'll grace from
party which availed itSelfOf Gen. Grant S
military achievements to fasten upon
the country two administrations whose
ignorance and shameless disregard of
constitutional law were only equalled
by their reckless cOTTuptiOns. More
over Gen. Hancock is not running upon
his military record. But for his able
exposition of constitutional principles,
and his prompt and generous recogni-
tiOn Of the civil authority as superior TO
the military. All Il moment when every
temptation was extended to him to as
sumo absolute power, his name would
never have been heard of a. Cincinnati.
The people honor him for the same rea-
son that our fOrefathers hOnOred Wash
ingtOn-hiS sword was never drawn
against the constitution. but has been
ever ready in its defense. II certainly
cannot, however, be urged as a fair OBJ
lection to his candidacy that he was a
Union soldier; that he conquered at
Gettysburg, and tha5 his blood marks
the most desperate fields of the war.
We are very sure that no portion of the
American people are prepared to strike
down a man otherwise eminently enti-
tied TO their confidence, because he has
done his duty in war as well as, in peace.
And the attempt of tie Republican
press to make capital against Hancock
out of the execution OF Mrs. SurratJ has
turned out very badly. She was charg-
ed with cOuSpiIing 10 murder Nj. Lin
coin; was tried 10y a military commits
sion, before that class OF tribunals had
been declared unconstitutional by the
supreme Court Was found guilty, con
demned and executed. Mr.. Stanton is-
sued the order President Johnson sci

. Scnal, the scene of her death. Genera
Hancock had nothing whatever to dC
with it, except that he was in command
Of the district in which it took place
and did what in him lay to bring the
. case of the unfortunate woman to Tho
favorable attention Of the President
who was then completely under the in
flUence Of MeSsTS. stanton and Seward

lion. lie waves the bloody shirt with

WE accept as true the statement Of
the editor Johnstown Tribune that he
had no connection with that journal in
1865. when Mrs. Surratt was hung, as we
thoughtIessly said he had. He now fall
SITES the facts, however, by. denying that
she was pronounced guilty by a Repub-
Iicm Commission, and insists that Joe
Holt, who was Judge Advocate of the
Commission. and Stanton, Secretary of
War, both of whom he says We're Demo-
Gratis, were the men who were response
ble for the ''deep damnatiOn of her TAX
ing off. - The military commission
that tried Mrs Surratt was composed
of the following officers of the army
Hunter, Wallace, KautZ, Howe, Foster,
EaNin, Harris, Sampkins, and CIenden-
in, with John +. Hartranft as Provost
Marshal General These officers were
all Republicans, Stanton became a Re
publican from the moment he entered
Mr.. LincOln's cabinet, and Holt shed
his Democratic skin when he became
Chief of Bureau of Military Justice.
These things, however, are not Of much
Importance for any bearing they have
on the low partisan purposes of the Irj-
b19e in its effort to injure Gen. Hancock
with Catholic Irish voters. Why does
the Tribune in referring to Mrs. Surratt
always designate her as ''a poor Irish
, Catholic woman - If she had been an
/ Irish-Presbyterian, or an IIish-Episco-
palian, would you have been so rernarka-
bly, particularin emphasizing the church
to which she belonged ? Was it crime
to hang her merely because she was {

TIE election of Governor will take
place in Indiana on the second Tuesday
of October, and the Garfield organs are
predicting the success of their ticket in
the State. based entirely on the assump-
tiOn that the Democrats are quaTreling
among themselves over GOV. Hendricks
defeat at Cincinnati. There is not one
and it is only another instance of the
wish being father to the thought. There
exists no dissension whatever in the
Democratic ranks in Indiana, and when
Gov. Hendricks, Senator Mcdonald,
Dan Voorhees,, General Manson. General
Love, eX-COngTessmen Holman and Nj
black, as well as other leaders of like
prominence, are unitedIy and enthusias-
ticaliy supporting Hancock, the story Of
disseusiOn i'm the Democratic household
i'm Indiana yanishes into thin air. ThOs.
y. Hendricks. who is a prudent man
and not given to idle bOastiug, says in
letter to a friend in Washington of so
late a date as las. Friday: Il want you
to be assured that I viii most cheerfully
and earnestly do my part to secure sue
cess, as will all my friends in this State.
1 have no doubt Of the success Of the
ticket; When Hendricks talks in this
way he means business, and when he
goes into a campaign in Indiana with
his coat off and his sleeves rolled up the
"hOUsier5' of his State, who idoliZe him,
always see him safely through.
