BECKaAN VS.. s6AG Us.

On the 18th of last March the RECORD
UNION published an article reviewing Judge
Denson's decisionin the case of Beckman vs.
Skaggs, in which issue was taken with the
Court The suit was one to recover for
moneys expended for taxes upon certain
property which had been mortgaged under
the old Constitution, with the express pro-
vision that all charges upon the estate in
the way of taxes should be paid by the
mortgagor. Judge benson ruled that un.
der the new Constitution this stipulation
did not hold good, though he did not ig-
more the provision of the United States
Constitution which prohibits the impair
ment of the obligations of contracts. This
journal in the article referred to pointed
out the fallacy of the Courts position,
and observed that notwithstanding all he
had said the Judge had, as matter of
fact, so construed the new Constitution
as to give it retroactive force.
The case was appealed to the Supreme
Court, and on Saturday the decision of
that Court was filed, reversing the ruling
OF the Superior Court. The Supreme Court
says: "The agreement to pay the whole
taxes was valid when made, and so TO
s'construe the provision of the Constitution
"as that the agreement may not be
'enforced according to its terms, would be
' to impair the obligation of the contract.
"+ Section of Article XIII. of the
present State Constitution applies to
contracts made after its adoption" This
is very important decision. for it settles
the status of ali mortgages made under
the old Constitution, and it settles them
IN accordance with a strictly rational inter.
probation of the law. Had Judge Densen's
construction been sustained it would have
had most mischievous consequences. as we
pointed out at the time it was rendered.
but it was 80 plainly and unmistakably in
contravention of the United States Consti.
tuition that no appellate Court could have
been expected to sustain it.

he will remove no office-holder with.
out cause, or merely to make place
for another. If indeed he means to adopt
and stand by that principle, he may be
sure of the cordial support and approval of
the best elements in the country. But also
If he does he must lay his account with
being deserted and denounced by the Grant
faction, all of whom entertain the most
undisguised and hearty contempt and
hatred for civil service reform, and all CT
whom believe most profoundly in the virtues
and excellencies of the spoils system. And
since there is no foe so bitter as an estranged
friend, it must be expected that if the
stalwarts turn against President Arthur
they will be fierce and implacable enemies.
If he can stand such opposition, however,
there is nothing possible for him to do
which will repay him half so well as this.

Is THE TIDE TURNING ?

There are certain indications that the
political tide at Washington may be turn
ing. When President Arthur went into
Office the Grant faction seems to have
jumped to the conclusion that his admins
tration would be nothing if not "stal.
"wart !" and it must be admitted that
the Garfield faction entertained very much
the same opinion. But by little and little
it has been suggested rather than demon
strated that President Arthur intends to
be very different man from vice-Presi-
dent Arthur, aud that with lower respon-
sibility has come to him. The latest
report concerning his tendencies is to the
effect that he ha, declared his intention
to put the principles of civil service
reform in operation practically, and that

THE LoEDoH ROBBERY.

The London robbery of the registered
letter bags was evidently planned with
great care and deliberation. The robbers
had clearly found out that certain ship
ments of diamonds of great value were to
be made on this day and by this mail, and
it seems probable that they may have had
accomplices in the Postofice. The plum
der they have obtained is OF kind very
hard to trace, moreover, and so the proba-
bility is that the police will fail to recover
IL, even if they should succeed in tracking
out the thieves. In this country the de-
tectives would offer to compromise on the
return of part of the stolen goods, but
that kind of bargain is looked upon with
disfavor in Europe, and so the chances are
that the whole of the property will be

ANOTHER SHOT AT The ASSASSIN.

Another attempt has been made to assas-
sinate the assassin, and again it has failed,
and the perpetrator is in custody. There
is nothing astonishing in the fact that he
should be shot at, for notwithstanding all
that can be said Of his rights before the law,
and of the necessity of regarding him pre-
cisely as a common murderer would be re-
garded, it is quite impossible that any
such philosophical view of his position
should be taken by everybody, and perfectly
certain that great many people will re-
fuse to take any kind of a philosophical
position, but will insist on regarding him
as a monster of crime, and deserving of
dogs death. OF course it is the more
necessary that he should be guarded
effectively, and it may easily be believed
that the authorities supposed him to be
safe within an iron lined box. But the
iron lining of the box has proved to be in
capable of keeping out bullet of very
moderate caliber, and by this last
attempt he came nearer death than at
any former time. 1t is pity that
these lawless attempts should be made,
though it is impossible to feel any SYM
pathy with or compassion for the subject
of them. And it must be understood that
the country is in this matter suffering for
past transgressions, for it cannot be doubted
that prevalent distrust of the law has
arisen through the many disgraceful and
outrageous failures of justice which have
occurred of late years. 1t is this doubt of
the issue of the trial which prompts men
to resort to swifter if not more certain
methods of punishment. No doubt it
would be unfortunate if Guiteau should be
killed while on trial, but such an ending
to his case would assuredly not dscredit
American justice half as much as failure
to convict him of murder in the first de-
gree. It was very wrong for Jones, if that
be his name, to have fred at the assassin
but since he did so, we are sorry that his
aim was not better, and we are not at all
glad to learn that he has been arrested.
Perhaps these are lawless sentiments, but
we shall never pretend to be ashamed of
any sentiments the tendency of which is
to exterminate, by whatever methods, such
men as this.

Tho Great DIamond Robbery.

LONDON, November 26.h.-The great dia.
mond robbery at Hatton Garden Postotfice
has filed the diamond merchants and jewel
ers with CONSERVATION. 1t is now seen that
they have to reckon with foes u.ore dangerous
than the old.fashioned burglar armed with
his crowbar and jimmy. London jewellers
keep an enormous amount OF property In their
shops, and only one or two superannuated
watchmen are about the place. Sixteen years
ago they were startled by great robbery at
Walkers, on Cornhill, where &c, 600 worth OF
watches were carried off right under the noses
of the city police by a gang that had the
shop under surveillance for two months.
OF course there was q woman In it,
and she "gave it away" otherwise
the thieves would have gone scot free. Citi-
zens and others formed mutual protection
society, and for while the jewellers shops
looked at night like some garrison towns
but this vigilance did nothing. The Hatton
Garden affair has led to a great cry against
leaving the Postoffices in charge of girls, but
the plan of the robbers was 50 well laid out
that it must have succeeded.
A man here has Cape Diamond almost as
large as the Koh-i-noor. 1t has been on ex-
hibition in Bond-street window, but the
owner prudently withdrew it after the Hat
ton Garden robbery, and it is said that to be
absolutely safe lie has left the country.
