THE GREAT PEACE-MAKER.

One of the most remarkable and
significant features connected with
the sad event of last week, is the
manifestation of profound grief
throughout foreign countries, over
the untimely death of President Gar
field There is nothing like it in the
history of the world Presidents
and Kings have died before, beloved
and respected by their countrymen,
and their death has been mourned
by thousands, but the sorrow over
Garfelds death is not confined to
his own land. Leading news papers
in England have appeared in deep
mourning, and everywhere, from
the Queen down to her lowest sub
iect, all appear to sympathize pro
foundly with us in our national
bereavement
While services were held in thou
sands of American churches last
Sabbath, in relation to this sad event,
the same was true in England. At
Westminster Abbey, Canon Duck
worth made reference to it. and at a
large number of the leading churches
in London and Liverpool, the music

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1881.
THE ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.

In his discourse at the First Pres
byterian Church on Monday, Rev.
James Park, D. D., uttered some
very plain and eminently practical
truths. We give the concluding por-
ton of his discourse in our issue
this morning, it having been crowded
out yesterday. He gives logical,
Scriptural and common sense reasons
why the laws against murder should
be more vigorously enforced. We
indulge in no fanciful figure Of speech
when we say that the enforcement Of
laws providing for capital punishment
has been too often ridiculous farce.
Our readers well know that we
have always condemned mob law
as dangerous and never iustifable.
One Of the strongest reasons against
mobs is that they tend to diminish q
proper regard and respect for law.
Bnt we very much doubt if mob VIC
lence has done so much to rob the
law OF the respect due from the
people, as the ridiculous farces which
have been enacted III the name OF
law. Hundreds of red handed,
guilty musderers have escaped the
punishment their crimes have merited
on the false plea of insanity
Hundreds more have escaped
because of their superiority Of
social position, over that O.
their victims. We are not blood,
minded, and have horror for taking
the life of a fellow-man under an,
circumstances, but the law provides
that the murderer shall be punished
with death, and we believe that i
should be enforced. It's vigorous
enforcement is the most mercifu
even to the criminal classes, VIII,
should, at any event, be taught t
respect the sacreduess of human life
The remarks of DR.. Park may b
read with profit by all, and especial
~ do we commend them to the at
tention of those whose business it i
so enforce the criminal laws.

used was selected with special refer
ence to the occasion, and the sorrow
of universal mankind was the theme
dwelt upon from the pulpits. It is
said that Queen Victoria will raise a
subscription for the purpose OF
placing statue of the dead Presi-
dent in the Capitol at Washington.
1t seems very remarkable that the
assassination of one man should SO
arouse and unite public sympathy
until it is concentrated around his
sick bed, as If coming from one great
heart, and that his death so com
pletely obliterates, for the time be-
ing, at least, oil sectional and party
feeling. BUTT is even more remarka
bic that this sympathy should seize
hold of the hearts of the people in
| foreign lands, and unite the whole
world around his grave. His brief
career as Chief Magistrate had exer
cised a wonderful influence in wipine
out the sectional animosities which
have existed for more than 6
third of century, and his
death appears to have sealed this
bond of frienship and brotherly love
in bond that cannot be broken
But more than that has been accom-
plished His life and death have So
impressed the people of Europe tina
the bond of friendship between thu
United States and the nations across
the waters is stronger than ever be
fore, and in the years to come Gar
field will be known as the Grea

"WhO Then Can Be Sared!"

If 'honest John Sherman" is proved to
be thief also, who will the Republicans
have left to point to as an exemplary
patriot of "the greatest government the
world ever saw7" Somehow their judg
ment is very defective in this particular,
and their specially chosen honest men
turn out to be their most unconscion-
able rogues. Now honest John" might
have gone scot free if Mr..
Window had not found that
nonsensical reference to his omitted
national bank correspondence neces-
sary-but fate would have it so, and lol
the said suppressed correspondence had
gone out Of office along with "honest
John" 1t would not remain there to
cast reproach upon an honest apostle of
patriotic Republicanism-to entangle
him with national bank stealings in tine
public debt manipulations, not bit Of
it-and who blames the correspondence,
or honest John2 Who is it that will
stand and see himself proved a rogue,
when he can so easily spirit away the
evidence?

Each day adds new features to the
gravity of the situation in Ireland. The
resistance to the authorities, both civil
and military. by the Irish peasantry can
hardly be called by any milder name
than instruction. The priesthood i'm
plore the authorities in vain to suspend
the evictions. The government goes
on, Notwithstanding the excited and des-
perate ferment of the people, to coldly
turn the poor peasant, the aged and the
sick out of their homes, and the tenants
resist with sticks and stones. OF course,
as soon as it comes to battle, they will
be scattered like chaff by the well-armed
and disciplined soldiers. But, says the
Baltimore Gazette, those who resist unto
death will not die in vain. They are
fighting for rights that cannot fail to
triumph at last, though the horizon just
now looks dark indeed. The naughty
blindness with which England has acted
throughout this movement viii surely
meet with rebuke. The Irish tenants
cannot be exterminated, and it will cost
more to hold Ireland down with armies
OF occupation than it is worth to Eng
land Justice would have been so cheap,
and injustice and oppression are so costly
in the long run.

The Last Dodge Of the SfaIWart
R0Iferz.

A dispatch from Albany says leading
stalwart of that city gives the following
as the opinion of Conkling, Arthur and
Sharpe, as expressed by them in letter
from New York, received in Albany
Sunday morning:
There will be no election. Both Sec
tons of the Republican party are deter
mined upon this, and the Democratic
members are powerless in the matter.
They have only ffty-four votes. and it
takes eighty-one 10 elect. The Demo
Gratis cannot get even one Republican
vote for their candidate, nor will they
give one Of their votes for either of the
Republican candidates. There will be
no election, and why should there BET
Why should not Conkling and Platt be
forced to 60 back TO their seatsI They
have rendered their designations, it is
true, but their designations have not
been accepted and cannot be accepted I'M
til their successors are elected. Ii the
Legislature fails to elect successors, it
will be equivalent to refusing to accept
their designations, and they will be re-
qulred to resume their places In the
United States Senate. They rendered
their designations expecting, Of course.
that the Legislature would pass upon the
question whether they should be accept
ed or not. The only way to accept such
designations is by voting for successors
to those resigning. The resigning Sena-
tors became candidates for re election in
order TO give the Legislature, or rather
a majority of the Legislature, an oppor-
tunitY to say whether they should return
or not, and what is the resultI They
find that the majority will not elect sue
cessors to them, and they are thus forced
to resume their places. This they will
do next December, and New York viii
be represented in the Uuited States
Senate again by COnkling and Platt."
1t is difficult to conceive more utterly
absurd proposition for the solution of
the Republican middle in New York,
though 1t is really scarcely more lridicu-
lous than Conkling S whole course, from
his arrogant defiance of the administra-
ton to the resignation of his seat in the
Senate, which he is now so anxious to
regain. If Conkling and Platt are still
United States Senators, despite their
designations. why are they candidates
before the Legislature for re election7
And why are other persons being
voted for to fill the vacancies oc-
casioned by their designations?
If the acceptance of their
designations depends upon the vote of the
Legislature, then they have been accept
ed, as fully two-thirds of that body have
voted against their reelection. If it re-
quires majority of the Legislature to
elect United States Senator, surely it
should require more than one-third of
the same body to reject Senator's resig-
nation and force him to serve the State
against his will
By reference to the ballot yesterday it
will be seen that of the one hundred and
forty-o one votes cast. Conkling received
only thirty-four. So it would seem that
his resignation is accepted by the Legis
lature of New York by what Hon.
Bardwell Slote would call ga large ma
iority,"

The Investigation Fever.

A Washington special to the Baltimore
Sun says: "Rumors are afoat that the
investigations In the Post Office and the
Treasury Departments are to be followed
by investigations into the management
of affairs in several of the other depart
ments, and predictions are made that
this summer will be the most lively
Washington has experienced since the
war. That there is plenty of material in
the other departments to keep number
of red hot investigations going is very
well known; indeed, if the corruption
and fraud which it is alleged has perme
ated the rami6cations of that immense
establishment, the Interior Department,
should ever be uprooted, it would
create a sensation before which any
developments which have occurred
since the war would pail. Many OF
the officials here, who have been so long
in snug places that they have grown to
them, are much chagrined and distressed
that Republican administration should
be engaged in the work of overturning
the house of its friends. They would
not have been so enthusiastic in collect
ing campaign funds last summer and
fall had they anticipated it. The admin
istration in its proposed Investigations
need only to scratch the surface to bring
out something, and probably the chances
are against any very deep digging under
auspices which necessarily must be more
or less friendly. But if an opposition
administration ever comes into power,
there will be richness in investigation
then "

The Virginia Campaign.

A Washington dispatch says: 'There
is some comment here, but no alarming
excitement, over the proceedings of the
Readjuster Convention just adjourned
at Richmond The experienced and
sagacious politicians of both parties ex-
press no doubt whatever of the over
whelming defeat of the State ticket
which has been put in nomination. Col.
Cameron, the nominee for Governor. is
man of marked ability, but it is
not believed that he will get any
more votes than any other gentleman
who might have been put in nomi-
nation. If the administration throws
its influence and its patronage
on the side of the ticket it will, of
course, give it many votes which it
could not otherwise obtain, but not
enough by many thousands to secure its
success. A gentleman who talked with
the President on this subject on Friday
represents him as speaking decidedly in
favor of the ticket, and expressing the
hope that it would be elected. But
unless thePresident has lost his good iudg-
ment he will hesitate before giving his
official sanction and countenance to an
organization which is looked upon with
disfavor almost without exception by
the reputable and influential elements of
his own party throughout the country.
Mr.. Blair, the candidate for Attorney
General, is on record as in favor of
'readjusting' the national debt after
they get through with the work of repu.
diation in Virginia, and it would look
rather strange for the President of the
United States and the head of the Re
publican party to be the advocate of a
man with such sentiments. Representa-
tive Jorgensen, of Virginia, expressed
the opinion yesterday that the Republi-
cans would hold convention and nomi-
nate ticket, which is the view he has
always entertained. He thinks the best
policy, however, is to wait until the
Democrats make their nominations. He
says Malone will get some of TIE colored
vote, of course, but not near S. much as
he imagines. He says Malone will be
mashed finer than powder before Vir-
ginia gets through with him this fall,
and will never again be heard of as fac
tor of consequence in politics"
