Moral Heroisan.

We witnessed a scene q few days
ago which forcibly illustrates how
much depcnds upon each individu.
al paying his debts. Jones saw an.
other man pay Smith ten dollars;
Jones reminded Smith that he,
Smith, owed him, Jones, just that
amount. The happy face Of Smith
instantly changed; the beams Of
joy disappeared, and with look of
settled and incurable grief, he hand
ed the greenbacks to Jones. "Sbort
settlements makes long friends"
said Jones, with . sardonic grin on
his face. "Them's my sentiments
to a scribe" exclaimed Brown, who
stepped up just IN time to see the
payment, and to hear the business
aphorism uttered by Jones. "Here
Jones, is my account against you I;
it comes to just exactly ten dollars.
A short settlement Of this, will
make us long friends" The express
sion on Jones' face was ghastly, and
indicated violent pains in his gastric
regions. "Yaas, Brown, 1t is doc,
that's fact, but, ah, ,-er, ,.oh, HI!
here's your money" Brown took
it, stealthily put it IN his vest pock.

ing, L" None but the righteous, none
but the righteow," etc. The moral
heroism and the mental suffering of
Smith and Jones can only find a
parallel in the boy that stood on the
burning deck. We feel that we
would bc wanting in a proper ap.
preciation of human integrity, if
the honesty of Smith and Jones
were not thus publicly recognized,
and herslded abroad. We left them
together, and both declaring that
whatever else might be said against
them, no man could accuse them of
not paying their debts, and that If

were, thcre'd be q business boom

THE White County Beacon is so
terribly IN earnest in it's advocacy
of Col. J. W. House, for congress,
that We fear that neither the press
of the first district nor the people
will be able to snatch a bit of fun
or indulge in any side play during
the coming campaign, without be-
ing brought to account by this
youthful journal. 1t accepts as in.
fallibls truth every compliment
paid to its idol, and requires the
solution of every passing remark
as fit were 3 problem IN Euclid.
After hacking and whacking away
At the jocular comments made by
US on copying an item from the
Jacksonport Herald, favoring our
proposition to defer county conven.
tions until Mr.. Dunn gets home,
and advocating fair play it sayo: ::
ave were not little surprised
to sec this paragraph in the TINES
after having espoused the cause of
Col. Dunn, who, 1t claimed, has
made a faithful and energetic rep
resentative," &c.
"Now fair play is all it desires
to see,' "and when that is secured"
it does not care fig, who is nomi-
mated, as after his election, 1t ex-
poets only 90 regular supply Of
newspaper Wrappers &c. 1t does
appear to US, that 20 faithful and
energetic representative" should
have by this time inspired the Tn,ss
with confidence enough "to prom.
ise" itself more than "a regular
weekly supply of newspaper wrap.
pers," &c. As it does not require
very "large legislative experience
to furnish such "supply Of wrap
pers,' the Times may yet conclude,
that ait would" nor be impolitic
to make q change in our represen-
tative just at this particular juno
ture."
There Isn't that perfectly re.
freshingY Innocent simplicity, and
sweet verdure of childish credulity
Now, we shall wait itawhile, at least,
until the head light Of the Beacon
and its candidate can be seen in the
rear and sort o catch up in the race.
Col. Dunn, we know, would feel
hurt, If when he came out at the
end of the track, the House bearing
Beacon train was nowhere in sight.
Come, whoop ur, go'lang! and
don't delude yourself with the idea
that we arc short.winded, because
VIC sometimes stop and look back
to see how you are coming on, and
to keep the track clear for you;
that's oil. So come along, you shall
have a fair show.

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar. 8, 1880.

Senator John A. Logan talked
four days last week about the Fitz
John Porter case. Senator Carpen.
ter spoke on Saturday on the same
subject. Carpenter is man ofomi-
nent common sense, besides being
an excellent lawyer, and pleasing
speaker. lie is always worth lis.
tening to, because he never.speaks
without having something to say.
The basis Of his argument in the
Porter case was that, Porter having
been tried and convicted, nothing
Dut:the pardonlng power could at
feet his case. He ld..beIrardon-
cd by the Executive 're-appointed
to the army by the Executive, and
confirmed by the Senate, and no
legislation was necessary or consti-
tutionally possible. That is q sub.
Ject the Senate will dispose of as it
sees fit, but Senator Carpenter,
IN the course oiShis speech bravely
denounced bis own party for I'M
numbered violations'ot the constr.
tuition in the course Of years since
tho war, and that is the point wor-
thy of SPECIAL recognition in his
speech. he did not attempt to
cover over any of ITS numerous
tran.gressions in that respect, and
did not say, or leave his hearers TO
believe that be thought the Court
martial a more sacred~s tribunal
than the civil Courts. He spoke
for the constitutional authority and
dignity of sll constitutional courts.
The Senator's speech will hurt
Porter very little if any, for the
people care very little for courts
martial, but 1t should be read by
everybody, because of the sound
doctrine 1t contains on the subject
OF constitutional authority.
What shall be done with the In
dams citizenship is generally COW
eted, and is on undeniable advan-
tage generally, but would it benefit
the Indians? Senator Morgan pro
poses that Congress shall declare,
by joint resolution that all Indians
are made citizens by the Fourteenth
amendment 10 the Constitution, and
will speak on that subject as soon
as an opportunity offers. The con-
sequences, to the Indians, of estab.
fishing their citizenship, would be
most important. Their tribal rela.
tons would all be broken up. We
could not make treaties with them.
We could not furnish them with
supplies. They would be subject
to the same legal responsibilities,
and trlable by the same courts, as
other citizens. The Indian Terri
tory, as a space devoted to the ex.
elusive use of Indians, would be
obliterated. Now, whether the'po.
sitlon taken by Senator Morgan is
or is not legally sound, everybody
knows that the present relations
between the Whites and the Indians
generally cannot continue long, and
that the Indianl Territory as now
governed will..soon cease to exist.

The safe return of the United States
steamer Pensacola to this port after be-
coming disabled on her late cruise to the
North, is doubtless due to the ingenuity of
her Past Assistant Engineer, G. w. Sti-
vers. AT the time of the accident, near
the mouth of the Columbia river, and when
the ship was in imminent danger of being
lost, that officer suggested wrapping the
broken crank with wire-cable that would
stand a strain of sixty tons. This was
done under his supervision, and the vessel
steamed in that condition for forty-eight
hours, and on her arrival in port every
thing was found to be perfectly solid. Had
this not been done, the ship would in all
probability have drifted on the rocks and
been lost, as she was completely disabled,
and as there was a perfect calm, the sails
could not have been used.

FALLING OUT ALREADY.

The Democratic managers are falling out
already. A Massachusetts, paper remarks :
What with Butlerism in this State,
" Vandalism in Pennsylvania, Tildenism
Gin New York, Hendricksism in Indiana,
"and a shade of Thurmanism in Ohio, the
" drawbacks to an overwhelming enthusi-
"asm for Hancock are numerous" The
truth is that the Northern Democratic
leaders have no love for Hancock, or for
the influences that nominated him. They
see i'll it the latest assertion of Southern
obstinacy and arrogance. They are offended
at the failure of their own aspirations, and
they are likely to be lukewarm when en-
thusiasm is most needed. As the cam
paign proceeds this will become more ap-
parent.

AIurder AVID Suicide.

VIsALIA, June 3Gth.-Last night about
11:30 o'clock a man by the name of Charles
CeIler, in dance-house, shot Miss Nelly
Brady and then killed himself in the same
manner According to the girls story, as
told to her companions, she had accompanied
hip, her seducer, from her home in San Fran
cisco to Tuiare county, where they had lived
for about a month, he forcing her to follow a
life of shame to support him. She wished to
go back to her parents, but he would not let
her. At last her condition became unbeara-
bic, and she left him, and notwithstanding his
appeals she refused to return. Last night he
approached the dance, house where they had
been stopping and fred through the open
window at her, the ball taking effect in her
left ear. She fell to the floor and died in q
few moments. He then placed the pistol to
his right temple and fired, falling dead. In
his memorandum book was written the name
and address of both Charles Celler, 16S Perry
street, and Nelly Brady, 800 Ritch street,
San Francisco. A Coroner's inquest was
held this afternoon and q verdict rendered ia
accordance with the foregoing facts.
