WEDNESDAY EVENING. DEC. %. 1881.
Cox and his Critics.


Judge Cox seems to be the Christmas
topic of the newspapers. Having eX-
hausted the vocabulary in denunciation
of Guiteau, the judge affords con-
venient object for the transfer Of the
flow of animadyersion. At this season
which teaches peace and good will among
men one would think that the most atra-
bilious editor would he able to check the
flow of his bile, at least against a judge
who at the very worst is only charged
with a Superabundance Of tolerance.
There are many worse failings even In
judges, and a respectable citizen ought
to hesitate good while before he damns
a Judge for his good nature. 1t is not
often that he has chance to do SO. The
despotic power placed in the hands of the
judiciary is far more subject to abuse
than to nOn-use: and we cannot
help feeling a. good deal of disgust
at the ungenerous and severe comment
visited by the press upon the modera-
tion shown by Judge Cox in the dis
charge of his duty. 1t may be ,as charged, ,
that Guiteau deserves to he violently
suppressed: but it is to be noted that
those who say so are confirmed in their
opinion of: his. zeal sanity and his simu-
latiOn of insanity. If that assumption
was conceded fact, then Judge Cox
might well he called upon to use all
his power 10 suppress the farce. But in
truth it is not admitted that Guiteau is
sane. That is the question which the
jury is considering and which the
country has considered with the result of
agreat diversity of opinion, most persons
probably believing that Guiteau is Of UNI
sound mind and only hesitating as to
whether the degree and character of his
insanity is such rs to free him from re-
sporsibility under the law. AS he says
repeatedly, the sole question of fact in
his case is whether OF no he WAS i'm
PEELED to his act irresistibly if that is
admitted then the question of law to he
settled is whether such irresistible pres
sure excuses the crime.
Judge Cox is giving him a fair trial.
The newspapers, unrepressed by the re-
spOnsibil!ty resting upon the judge, are
not fair. Just what sort of judges these
critics of Judge Cox would make we
may not know but it IS safe enough to
ay that they would not he III improve
ment upon him, and that no citizen can
burn with very sincere desire to have
such men as judges instead of the Cox
style, however little that may he to his
liking. Honesty. impartiality and mod
Grafton are invaluable qualities in a
Judge and to one who possesses them a
great deal may he excused. Nothing is
more unjudicial than violence of word
and manner, and Judge Cox's critics are
notably unfit TO fill his place.

> DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

A Large Barn Destroyed with its Contents.
. Last night at 8 o'clock the large barn
on the property Of DR.. Joseph Gibbons, in
Upper Leacock township, near Eirdin-
Hand, was totally destroyed by fire. The
structure was good sized one with large
straw shed attached. The contents were
the crops Of last season. large lot of hay
and straw and 80 bushels of wheat. Mrs
Loush had a quantity of tobacco in the
building which was not insured, The con
tents belonged to David Z. Smoker who
has been farmer on the premises. The
live stock was all saved with the exception
of three colts. A valuable Glare wa:
badly scorched !; the implements were all
destrOyed-in fact it was Il total destruc-
ton. There was 4 small insurance in the
Lancaster County mutual company Oh the
building and less Oh the contents. We
have heard that the frame of lantern
was seen in the building, suspended from
beam, with the globe broken. The sup
position now is that the fire originated d
from the explosion Of the lamp.

After the Woman With a Bailptece.
Chas. II. Engle, the Philadelphia scrap
iron dealer, is in town to-day. He is the
man whose relations with Miss Ida V.
Baight, Of Columbia, and whose matri-
mOniai infelicitics have occasioned so
much scandal. lie claims to be tho victim
of the biackmailer's wiles and of news
paper Misrepresentation. First the Baight
girl swOrc to his criminal assault upon
her and then, after some negotiations
between the parties and 4 few days alb
sence from the city, she came back and
swOre that her first affidavit was false and
that the case was put up by the police.
Englc was acquitted and then the police
had the girl arrested for perjury. Engle,
by his lawyers advice, he says. went bail
in $40, 900 for her appearance. She skipped.
Last evening Engle went to Columbia
with :: bailpiece to arrest her. lie made
inquiries for her, and says the officers
there refused to serve it, and one of them
informed her family of the search for her.
He then came Oh to Lancaster, and, under
advice of District Attorney Davis, took
Officers Cleaner, Leman and Elias with
him in q cab to Columbia last night. They
got to Baight's house at midnight, and the
girls father said, go, you're not smart. |

SO this morning Epgle, advised by the
district attorney, hc says, made complaint
before Alderman Barr against tho parents
of the girl, Mr.. William and Mrs. Jennie
Baight, of Columbia, for conspirins to aid
Ida V. Baight, criminal, to escape from
justice, and sued William Baight also
for surety of the peace in saying that he
would kill Engle. Officers Crcan,er and
Elias went up to arrest them.
The Baights, father and mother Of
Ensle's victim or prosecutor as the case
may be, were arrested and gave bail before
a justice there for hearing at Alderman

THE &R. COMPANY.
observations of . Small SIockhOlder.

observations of Small Srockholder.
MEssns. EDITORS know very little
about dealings in stock, although own
few shares OF Reading railroad stock, but
have often noticed that whenever it was
thought that Mr.. Gowen was going to win
the stock went up, aud whenever it was
thought that Mr.. Bond was going to win
the stock went down.
notice also that Mr.. Bond thinks that
the right way to make our stock more
valuable is to issue great deal more OF it
to the creditors of the company. But the
property cannot be made more valuable by
dividing it into more shares. If the credi-
tors who are to get the stock will take it
in payment of :heir debts it would be all
right, but l don't understand that they
are to do this. Another idea has occurred
to me, and that is that as Mr.. Bond
thinks that everything that Mr.. Gowen
did was wrong, that he ought not to have
leased the Schuylkill canal, or the Catawis
sa railroad, &C., or have bought the coal
lands or the MOntour iron works, he, Mr..
Bond, will not he very anxious to make
Mr.. Gowen's plans successful. 1t would
be quite disappointment to Mr.. Bond, l
should think, to find the coal lands
yielding large revenue, and if
the Danvillc works make money
Mr.. Bond will not be able to say 81 told
you So" never knew any man to make a
machine or tool that he did not like to
work we'll. We cannot alter the arrange
mcnts of the Reading railroad company;
and don't see how we can expect man
to run it's machinery who feels bound to
show that it is all wrong. On saying this
l do not mean to admit that think Mr..
Bond right in his objections. Take the
case OF the Schuylkill canal for instance.
He says that the railroad company does
not make the rent which it pays. That
may bet might pay storekeeper to rent
rival store and shut it up if he got all the
business, and don't see why the same
thing should not he true of railroad or
canal. l certainly should not be in favor
of giving the canal boats and cars back to
the canal company and letting them start
competition again with the railroad com

The Prairie Wait"

Last evening Buffalo Bill appeared be-
fore 4 big audience at Fulton opera house
with his retinuc Of real live Indians and
border celebrities, in the drama of the
"Prairic Waif." The piece was given
with the customary gusto, and tho cxcit-
ing passages in which it abounds and in
which the noted scout is made to perform
deeds of daring never surpassed and sci
dom cqualled, brought down the house in
the most approved manner. 1t was cheer
full to contemplate the way in which
virtue was rewarded and villainy punished.
and in the denoucment nothing was
wanting to complete the satisfaction of
right minded people nor to point the
moral with which this thrilling tale is
adorned.

At the beginning of new Congress
there arc two important committees who
loudly proclaim their virtuous intentions.
The appropriations committee will have all
the great appropriations bills ready very
carly" The committee on elections will
at once throw upon the House the re-
sponsibility of deciding the contested cleo
tion cases. Yet, such is tho frailty of
congressional human nature, no session of
the House was ever brought to close
since the world began without finding the
committee on appropriations and the
committee on elections engaged in a
breathless attempt to bring up in the rear
of the procession.
