SrERN LrNIlCE AGALN.

R,1bo the Italian wige-murderer, whose fate has
now, after so much delay, been definitely settled
and who will presently eXpiate his crime, has
aroused good deal Of inconsderate sympathy.
His nationality has awakened active excrtIons in
his behalf by his countrymen in New-loIk. aud the
Communication of his sentence has been pressed al
most as q matter Of public comfy lie has been
represented az a goodhearted man driven to do5pe-
ration by the infdelitY Of his wife. In prison be
has been not only amiabe, bat exceedingly
pIous. and the priests who have attended bin speak
highly of his spiritual condition. The horrible cir
cum.ances Of his felony seem to have been forgot
ten. # has been taken for granted that he was
Justly suspicious of Mrs Bllbo's fidelity but it Is
no more than proper to remember that there has
been no judicial investigation OF her alleged wrong
against her husband. Presumably she was inuo-
cent She was not swiftly slain by Hmm at the mo-
mcnt of discovering his injury II she had been,
the crime would doubtless have been manslaughter
i'm nearly the lowest degree So far therefore, as
,he officers of the law can determine the
cave, the killing was peTpetrated in cold blood
with malice prepeuse, and so does not differ from
OF her murders Of like enormIty.
There were some statements made by the neigh
bors of this unfortunate pair, when the murder was
discovered, which may now be pro6Jably recalled.
Bllbo and his wife had not lived happily together
Each was Jealous OF inc OlucIi Out Mis-. DdlJO 3
reputation was good IN the neighborhood. Some
times SAID one, he would treat his wife shame
fully, and she would leave him and go to her
parents for several days. H. abused her about all
the tlmeD Whether Balbo thought himself to be
an injured husband not, Is nothing in the eye of
the Iaw. Allowance must be made tor the in.irmty
of human nature upon tue instant OF discovery but
.t cannot 90 further.
There has been good deal of criticism of the
course of the Executive in retaining so long his
final determination, and this has been thought an
Injustice to the wretched man, who has been kept

will be remembered has continually declared HIM
self prepared for either fortune; and he Is reported
to have acquesced III his fate, with the remark that
If would DO better to die now than to lmger tor
wears IN prison There is probably some hope always
lett in the bosom of every condemned man until the
last moment. Balbo had no right to expect a COM
mutation of his sentence and in fact, he has gone
on preparing for death precisely if lie felt that he
had no chance OF living.
Whoever will look over this case judcially will adj
init that there was no room whatever for the eXer-
else of clemency-nO more than IN the CAGE of Cox
The Itahan and the African both fed from the con-
SEQUENCES of their crimes, which shows that both
knew well enough the character Of the deeds which
they had committed.

IL Is TILE CIT.

For one day, at least, let no one speak
icstingly Of the NewYork Board Of Aldermen.
The service to suffering humanity, which
they rendered yesterday, should long he

Angel dips his pen down deep i'll the bowl to
write the doom Of those unfortunate characters
let Us hope that ne may reflect upon this char
itv which should cover a multitude Of sins.
The anti-cat ordinance has passed by a vote OF

been attached 1t will be unlawful for cats TO

that the Law does not reach the back fences

HANCOCK IND THE CIVIL LAW.

In publishing in another column an account
of General HancOck's course in connection
with the execution of Mrs. Surratt we do not
wish to cast any blame upon him for his action
IN that affair. Washington was full OF reoel
eympathizers at the time OF the murder %
Lincoln, and no jury could have been lmpan-
cllcd by a civil court that would not nave
defeated the ends Of justice and set free the
criminals who cOnspred to bring about
his death. Years afterward jury ac-
quilted John II. Surrat on evidence
which plainly showed his connection with
the conspiracy. A military commission
was the oLly tribunal tbat could be depended
upon for just verdict When the sentence
OF the commission in the case Of Mrs. Surratt
was sought to be set aside by Judge wye
and a writ Of habcas corpus was served upon
General Hancock, he did right III consulting
his superior, the President, before obeylhg the
writ. President Johnson suspended the ma
beas corpus in the District Of Columbia, the
writ of Judge Wyle was disregarded, and
Mrs. Surratt was hanged. Thus far no just
blame could attach to General Hancock. lie
did his duty as a soldier and military com
mandcr
Il is the Inconsistency Of his subsequent
course that is made conspicuous by TINS bli OF
history Two years later when subjected to
the social Establishments Of the late rebels ~
Louisiana, and when Judge Black had con-
tqyed TO let a Presidential bee loose in his
bonnet. General Hancock changed his views
about the relations of the civil and military
authority. in Washington, in 1865, where the
civil courts had been supreme throughout the
entire war. he advised tie suspension OF the
writ of habcls corpus IN order that he might
carry ont the sentence OF a military commits
sion undisturhcd by the courts. In NcW-Or-
leans i'm 1867, when all civil authority
WAS eubordinatcd to the military power by ex-
nress acts of Congress pending the process OF
reconstruction, he issued his Order No. 40, In
which he said "When inSuTecGonay force
"is ovcrthrowu, peace established, and the
civil authorities are ready and willing to
"pcrform their duties, The military power
should cease to lead. and the civil admins

Hancock in NeW-Orcans, dreaming OF a Presl-

Convention, was not the same man as the

Can it be true that the rule which requires
colored Republican to submit meekly to any
indignity from a white Democrat holds good
even in the Library of COngresSY
There is some talk in New-IIampShire of
composing certain differences in the Rcpub-
lican party by nominating William E.
Chandler for Congress The Republicans
of the lid New-HampslIire District would be
fortunate in having so able and energetic
a representative as Mr. Chandler would
surely be.
1t is evident that the traditional pitfalls
of the Coney Island beach, which in old times
made away with the watches and money
of the untutOred rural visitor, have not been
wholly removed. An article on another page
presents some details on this head The
owners of The great beaches should see to ii
that these abuses are suppressed.
The rumOr about the marriage of the
Baroness Burdett-COu is revived, with a
wealth of detail which does credit to the in
ventive powers of the writer, if the report is
still false. The disparity between the ages
of the Baroness and the bridegroom whom
common fame has selected for her is a little
remarkable.
The Irish Compensation bill was defeated
I'm the House of Lords last night by
an overwhelming majority, Lord Beacons-
field leading the attack upon it, and
many prominent Liberals voting against
it. These were headed by Viscount Sher-
brooke, better known as Robert Lowe. and
numbered in all sixty or seventy. leaving only
a small minority in favor of the bill, all Of
whom were Liberals.
The Pension Office is only twelve years be-
hind its work in acting upon pension applica-
tons. This is one of the results of the states
manship of the Democratic Congress, and its
lazy indifference to the suggestions of the
Commissioner, ceaselessly repeated for three
years, for a reorganization of the Bureau.
The imagination refuses to conceive where the

HOSTILITY no NATIONAL AUTHORITY.

HOSTILITY TO NATIONAL AUTHORI7Y
Even at this late day, more than fifteen
wears after the rebellion ceased, it is difficult
for the people of the South to realize that
thev are citizens of the United States and
lust rs amenabIe to the National authority as
the people of the North. They are still dis
posed to look upon the Federal Government
as no affair OF theirs, but as foreign power
which has conquered them and persists in
meddling with their concerns. This DISPOSE
ton is particularly shown in the popular senti-
ment manifested in many parts of the
South toward the officers OF the revenue. In
the North such officers are regarded as the
peoples police, enforcing the peoples laws for
fine common good At the South they are
looked upon as emssarieS OF a tyrannical
mower and the fellow who hides in ambush
and shoots at them as they pass along a
road Is usually regarded by his neighbOrs as
q brave and worthy citizen. If the officers re-
turn the fire and kill the bushwhacker, public
indignation is aroused, and the local prints
denOunce them as murderers.
A case in point occurred i'll Georgia lately.
Red Oak neighborhood, in Campbell County,
had n bad reputation for illicit distilling, aad
for violent behavior toward revenue officers.
Last April party Of officers destroyed two
stills. and then had to fly before an armed
mob of forty men. In May a deputy collector
was fired on while Selling Il still, by men con-
ceaIed in the woods. Early in June the same
officer after standing as target for six shots
from n "Moonshiner's repeating rife, fell
into an ambush and narrowly escaped with
his life. Later III June a posse of thir-
teen officers was sent to Red Oak to
90 ON with the work of breaking up the stills.
While proceeding along a high road they en-
conntered a suspicious fellow, armed with a
repeating rifle and well supplied with am
munition. They took this man into custody.
Soon afterward they were twice fired upon
from the bushes by the roadside. They re-
turned the fire, aiming at the points in the
tbicket where they saw the smoke Of their as
soilants' guns. Their fire wounded one of the
bushwhackers slightly and another fatally.
Soon afterward the officers were arrested on a
charge of murder, and might have been tried
and hanged had it not been for Federal statute
authorizing the transfer of such cases to the
United States Courts.
Judge Woods, of the United States Circuit
Court, before whom the case recently came,
reviewed the evidence with thorough
ness and impartiality, and discharged the ac-
cused on the ground that they only acted In
self-defence when assailed in the performance

Alabama is solid on a free count.

If Wade Hampton will come North and repeat
from the stump here his remark that Hancock rep
PRESENTS the principles which Lee and Jackson fought
for fer four years, the Republicans Will pay his ex-
penses.
The funniest Democratic excuse for the emptiness
of uancocks letter Is that he was hampered In ex-
pressing his views by the fact that President Hayes
is his commanderin-chiefl 1t will be pretty hard
work to stretch that excuse over his silence on the
tarh aud currency.
Watterson says Hancock deserves to be the next
President "and, by the grace of God and the will
Of the American people, he shall be-" Oh no,
neither of those influences will have ANYTHING 10 do
with his election. II he wins It, it will be by the
grace of tho bulldozcr, and the ability of the same
