A sPECK or WAR.

The Ohio newspaper war after brief
lull, under which permanent peace was
hoped for, has broken out again between the
Washington correspondents of the Cleveland
Leader and the Cincinnati Gasette, The
Leader man goes for General BoYNTos's
scalp with war-paint and feathers, REIN
forced by General SHERMAN, Of the army.
The Ledder correspondent proyOlies the

these:

by Democratic editors upon the reported illness of

this session TO raise an issue on which to take the
party into the Presidential campaign.
JOSHUA L. CHAMBERLAIN is Mslor.Ge OF

sons of guns TO stand still they must stand.
TILDEN says he Is in the hands of the Democratic
party, but the Cincinnati Enquirer gives vent to a
Democratic suspicion that the contrary Is the
truth.
THE Republicans IN Maine have doubtless
counted the cost, and having taken their stand
will hold the fort until the question of legality is
settled.

THE ADMINISTRATION or JUSTICE

THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.
The letter of Colonel CORKHILL, the new
United States District Attorney for this
District to the Superintendent of the
Police on the matter of the arrest and con-
viction of criminals seems to be step in
the right direction. 1t certainly opens n
field for reflection on n subject that holds a
very important relation to the public well
fare. Our government is based upon the
laws and their rigid enforcement, and with
out this what we term government is of
little value to society. The aim of Colonel
CoRKHILL's letter is quite apparent. 1t is
to impress upon the head of the police,
which is the incipient agent for ferretng
out crime and bringing criminals to justice,
the Importance of making arrests upon
apparent proofs of guilt, and then, if posi-
BILE, to make the links of evidence so perfect
that the prosecuting attorney will be enabled
to procure conviction before the courts. BY
strict adherence to this policy the chances
of escape from punishment under trial will
be largely diminished. 1t is the duty of
the District Attorney to bring all criminal
cases into the courts, first before the Grand
Jury for Indictment, and then to bring
these indictments before the courts for trial
and conviction when procured Just in
proportion, then, as arrests are made upon
doubtful proofs, tile case is jeopardized and
| the chances of escape are multiplied. The
failure to convict reflects unfavorably upon
the prosecuting officer, and his reputation
rs capable and vigilant prosecutor is
jeopardized.
For these reasons the admonitions con-
tanned in Colonel CoRKHILL's letter to the
Superintendent of the Police appear to be
timely and judicious. At this juncture the
earliest services of the prose cutting attor.
ney relate to diabolical crime which has
Mortified the sentiment of this community
That officer feels the importance of bring
ing conviction under the form 8 of law
and he well knows how difficult il is t.
procure such result when confront ed by
skillful and artful lawyers, even with posi-
tive proofs of guilt. Hence, his exirem,
anxiety now that the police shall fortify
their action with q chain of evidence alike
lucid and convincing, and under which
there can be no failure to convict We dc
not mean that the police should not b.
guided by circumstances and suspicious, tc
some extent, in making arrests, leaving thu
courts to try the cases and decide tn,
question Of innocence aud guilt, but it il
not unreasonable after arrest to expect thai
these officers shall work up and follow
every clue tOguilt and present to the prose
cutting officer Che best attainable evidene
under which conviction can be assured
This done, then, though the guilty ma.
possibly escape, the ministers Of the Law
will stand justified in the public judy
ment.

THE New York SIN is undoubtedly the
most successful hunter of mares nests in
the country. 1t is scarcely ever without its
hands in fresh one, under the process of
onumeTating the contents, and hence it is
never idle in that line. 1t now has its
hand in one Of unusual size and import
ance. 1t has discovered that the establish
ment of steamship lines and telegraphic
communications across the Atlantic ocean,
which has brought us into close relations
with the Old World is the source Of one
great influence working in favor Of GRANT
for third term. In referring to this re-
markable discovery, the Graphic comes to
the conclusion that GRANT for third term
would be the end Of our institutions. 1t
says: In order TO preserve them, we
SHOULD therefore cut our cables and burn
sour ships. No American should be per-
"mitted 20 20 abroad, and if any one es-
"caped in spite of the rigorous embargo, he
"should, on being caught, be summarily
" and capitally punished. In order to pre-
"serye our virtue, we must be immured

IT is said that General BUTLER has re-

IT is intimated that very considerable
proportion Of the present Congress are en-
gagged in stock speculations. If this allega-
tion be true, it accounts for the hardness
with which the public business proceeds.
1t is difficult to serve the country and

THE Democratic raid against the next or
coming Republican nominee is almost ex-
clusively upon General GRANT. Occa-
sionly an assault is made upon Senator
BLAINE or Secretary SHERMAN, but a con-
tinuous fire is kept up against the Third
Term project. Evidently our Bourbon fell
low-citizens fear GRANT more than any
other possible candidate.

CHARLES O'CoNNoR has an opinion,
which is very wrong ON his part. He has
expressed it in effect that the Democratic
party cannot elect any man President next
time. Now lie becomes target for every

to shy a boulder at. 1t is not safe in that
party to have and express an opinion.

CONGRESS has assumed a portion Of 1.-THE
burdens of debt and expense of the Dis
" trict," IL is true but not more than its
share, as the EcoiRg star has often argued
and insisted. And the restoration of suffrage
TO our people would neither decrease nor
increase that assumption nor the RESPONSE
bility, for the supervision of our affairs by
Congress. No one doubts or denies or at
tempts to nullity the power of that body to
do as it pleases in the District. But rca-
sonable men will incline to the belief that
the establishment and continuance of n
government here is in
the nature of u tyrannical defiance of the
spirit of our institutions by Congress itself.
The strict letter of the Constitution may
justify it, for the reason that the General
Government must necessarily and should
naturally have supreme control over the
surroundings of its executive habitation (;
but when that control 10 asserted to the ex-
tent ofdepriving citizens of every semblance
of individual independence it becomes OBJ
noxious and unbearable.

If Senator VOORHEES, is rea lly in earnest
about his so.called exodus investigation,
let him subpoena some of the North Carolina
refugees who are now in this city. The
figures show that, including those already
gone, those now on the way and those to
start within week, about 300 colored
emigrants from North Carolina will have
reached Indiana before the LIST of February.
Among all this number Mr.. VOORHEES, can

THE Pennsylvania Supreme court is
about to decide the question whether when
a street railway company works its drivers
eighteen hours day, it can be held liable
for an accident caused by a drivers going

THE Ecening star deliberately insists that
the exercise of the right of suffrage by tn
people of this District was aud would be
necessarily accompanied by "pickings and
"stealngs" Perhaps it is true that no form
of government is absolutely free from cor
ruption; but we emphatically assert that
the truth regarding our past experience,
either under the Mayoralty or the Terri
torial form of government, does not JUS
tify the Stars declaration. To accept this
fiippant charge as the truth, or to permit ii
to pass without contradiction, would be to
condone an infamous SANDER and an out
rageous insult upon the intelligence aud in
tegrty Of many Of our most highly honored
and respectable citizens, The real fact:
prove that our legislative assembly was
during its brief existence, an acceptable anC
honest agency in the control Of our mum
cipal affairs.

The Feather-Duster story was lie from
beginning TO end, so far as it related to the
members of our late legislative assembly.
The Star wisely omits all allusion to it in
its current assault upon the HomeRule
movement, but docs not confne itself so
strictly to the truth in other respects. For
example, its insinuatious regarding "pick-
"ings and stealings are all based upon un-
founded rumor or deliberate fall ehood
