ties and their witnesses, has over
bourne the nnanimous verdict of the
twelve resident Jurors and the jndg-
anent Of two Supreme Judges. These
circumstances alone arc sufficient to
detract from the public confidence in
the jiistl,ess Of the judgment.
We do not wish to he understood
MS meaning to impngn the motives of
the majority Of the court, but we think
their Judgment was not in accord with
the facts. We believe that minority
Of the people Of this parish, including
snany who supported Mr.. Dnson at
the laat election for the Office Of Sler-
if, will remain in the firm conviction
tl,at the court has given to linn an
office to which the people elected
Thompson. The Courier has taken
no part in the controversy, and has
scrupulonsly abstained from any ref
erence to the case while before the
courts. Since. however, the matter
is irrevocably settled, We feel free to
express our opinion. We hold that
it is the right and duty If the press
to criticise the judgments of courts,
within proper limits and when a
proper occasion calls for it, just as the
official acts Of other public servants
are made tho subject Of public COM
meDt; and in our Judgment no occa-
sion more strongly calls for snch crit
icism, that when great public right
like that IF the people to choose their
own officers ID abridged or defeated
by the decision ofsa court. We make
no apology for hcre recording our
opinion, that such has been done by
the final jud g,nent in this case.

that G. NJ. Thompson was elected to

in the selection of which both con-

JUSTICE IN PRNNsYLvANIA

At Harrisburgh, Pa, on the 10Th inst,
Judge Pearson will pronounce sentence
on Representative PetrOff, convicted,
and one ex.S State Treasurer Kemble, Rep
resentative Rumberger, ex"Representa'
tive Salter and Jesse Crawford, an ex.of-
fCeholder about the State Capital, who
plead guilty to the charge of attempted
bribery. The judgment of the Court
will vindCate the laws so that the lesson
will sink deep. The Judge said in his
charge to the jury that Pennsylvania
had beOn degraded by these corrupt
practices, and rendered a by.word in
other States, and that the State Capital
had become known throughout the land
as sink of corruption.
If there lisa state in the Union which
is in the grasp of the Republican lead
ers, it is Pennsylvania. Corruption and
rottenness seem to be the rule, and this
fact is known of men Republican lead.
ers generally admitting the status with.
out even exhibiting sense of shame.
There is even fippsnt talk already about
what the Board of Pardons will DO. We
shall see whether the Board of Pardons
will dare to excuse crime and protect
criminals. This Board is organized, or
should be, to enforce and execute the
laws-not to excuse crime and shield
criminals.

The editor of Harper's Weekly was re-
Gently interviewed OF the political situa'
ton. What he said is briefly set forth
in the following paragraph from the
Boston Herald
George William Curtis asserts that
from intelligence that comes to him from
all parts Of the country, he is assured
that the popular opposition to the third
term scheme is growing stronger every
day. But, while recognizing this, he is
by no means sure that the display of re-
sistance has been made in time. If the
political clique who are running the ex-
President can secure their tail of dele
gates, it will be of very slight conse-
quenCe to them what the wishes Of the
rank and file of the party may be. Mr.
Curtis believes such men as Cameron
and Conkling would prefer to have the
Republican party defeated in the next
election, than have it succeed in the
election of man over whom they could
not exercise control, and thus, though
he is confident Grant would be defeated
if he were nominated, and that the Re-
publican party would be fatally disinte-
grated, he does not believe these risks
will be sufficient to deter the Grant COM
bination from carrying out their plan, if
they can secure the state delegations
they are now working to capture.

"THE recent decisions Of the Supreme
Court" says the New York Sun, "have
gone beyond all former experience in
invading the loca ! authority OF the
States, and in asserting monstrous doc
trines that, carried to their logical con-
sequence, would destroy the constitution
al system under which we live, and erect
centralized despotism at Washington.
1t is no longer question Of States rights
in political sense that is to be consid-
cred, but whether the autonomy and in
dependence of the States are to be pre-
served in their recognized spheres of &C
tion at home. Partisan decisions of the
Supreme Court have constantly struck
at the States since the civil war, all aim
ing to subordinate them to Consolidat'
ed power, wholly unknown to the char
ter of liberty" The Sun continues:
Among the momentous questions de-
pending on the Presidential election
next November, none is more important
than the reconstruction of the Supreme
Court. The new President will probably
have the appointment of FIVE, Judges
during the first two years Of his term
and they will constitute a majority oi
the tribunal of last resort. The country
knows by bitter cost what sort Of Judges
Grant would appoint had he the power
He put Bradley and Strong on the bench
two railroad attorneys, to reverse the
| Judgment of the court that would have
secured specie payments ten years ago
and have prevented panic of 1873. They
we're appointed solely to protect the in
terests of corporations that wanted tc
pay their debts in cheap money. This
is one of the gravest perils of the neal
future, and demands the most Thoughts
ful attention.

The Newark Advocate, edited since
1866, except for brief period, by Hon.
VIM. D. Morgan, formerly Auditor Of
State, has been sold to Newton & Cald-
we'll. We regret to learn that Mr.. Nor
gan's failing health is the reason for the
change. In 1S48. when we became con-
nected with the Stark County DEMOCRAT,
Mr.. Morgan was editing the Ohio Patriot
at New Lisbon. About 1852 being elect
ed Auditor of State, he disposed of the
Patriot and afterwards bought the AduO.
cate, andAoCated at Newark. While we
wish we'll to the new incumbents, we re-
gret to lose Mr.. Morgan, for we know Of
no Democrat in the State more safe, gift
ed and reliable as newspaper man.

from Columbus on Saturday evening, for
a short visit with Mrs. A., and his con.
