constitutions of Maine and the United States i37
majority would have elected Governor Dlngley
just as surely as One Of 5000 And so, too in the
San Francisco case majority Of $40 would have
done Just as well as one of 5000. This shows n

The End in View.

When Lincoln was practicing in the old
Sangamon court house a tall, slim lawyer, wearing
very short coat, slid along on the scat to be
nearer the advocate addressing the jury A pro-
truding nail tore the seat of the lawyers panta-
looms. Obliged to follow hisopponent Immediately,
there was no time to sew up the rent In the gar
ment. A legal wag present wrote a subscription
paper: 1--WE, the undersigned, agree TO pay the
sums set opposite our several names for the pur-
pose Of purchasing Brother Brown new pair of
pantaloons,' Several of the lawyers put down
sums ranging from fifty cents to ten cents. The
paper was presented to Lincoln, who sat opposite
the advocate who, bending over in gesticulating,
made quite an exposure. Lincoln took out his
pencil and wrote upon the paper 81 have moth

Not n Hero.

Unthinking people in Washington, and
possibly elsewhere are disposed to make hero Of
Sergeant Mason, who attempted to kill Guiteau. 1t
is proposed to prepare petitions asking for the pro-
motion Of this would.be murderer This indi-
Gates an unwholesome state OF public sentiment.
Guiteau is miscreant who deserves the severcst
punishment which the law can infict upon him.
But until society resolves itself into condition Of
moral chnos and lawlessuess he must be punished
only by legal authority. That man, and cs
pecially u soldier Of the army fthe United States
should be permitted to consider himself the self
appointed cXccutioner of an imprisoned assassin
would be indeed monstrous When any man
takes the law into his own hands he deals blow
at the foundations of social order and nicts great
damage. This is what Mason has done. By dc.
lDcracly attempting TO murder Guitcau he has
only employed the means which that infamous
creature had already used. TO make a hero of
Mason is to justify mob law and to offer reward
for the assassination Of notorious criminals.-Neg

Payment OF the Eighth Quarterly INSTALL
ment-Erroneous InipreasIon.

The War Department has issued n re-
QUESTION TO pay Captain James d. Eads $4,000,
which is for the eighth quarterly installment OF
this amount S2j, 900 Is for the maintenance OF the
jctty channel at the mouth Of the Mississippi
River aud the balance is the fourth semi. annual
payment Of S2j,OJO for interest on 100000 re.
tnined as security by the Government to insure the
channel being Kept clear during the time specl
fled in the contract. III the past quarter there
were four days during which the channel was not
maintained between the jctty works aud the Gulf
of Mexico. The required width of 800 feet at the
bottom was not preserved, but was contracted to
40 feet between two Jumps, which were 200 feet
seaward Of the end Of the cast jctty, The def:
cheney was discovered in June aud the channel
was restored four days nfterwnrd to the width OF
2l0 feet. In reference to deficiencies reported by
masters Of vessels. as their statements have been
copied in the press, nm error is made in asserting
that Captain Eads Is required TO maintain n chan.

The law has been ironically described
as being something boldly asserted and
plausibly maintained" and it is in the
same spirit that it has been declared to be
" the last guess of the Supreme. Court"
Let us hope that the happy recovery of
the President, of which the auguries are
now so auspicious, will relieve the Su-
prcme Court Of New Jersey of the neces-
sity of making another guess" on the
subject of their statute.
The plain letter of the law in New Jer-
sey clearly gives the courts of that State
jurisdiction in case where a wound in
ficted outside of the State results fatally
there. Should the occasion unhappily
arise the lawyers and judges in the Dis
trict may be able to find some change in
the law here by which the abominable
rule of the common law has been abol-
ished. Perhaps no living man knows
just what law is applicable to this COM
munity. Congress, having exclusive juris-
diction, has left old, musty, and obsolete
laws for our use, just as it has left us in
