Fable of the Man-Slaver.

A man who had committed dreadful mur-
der, says the Galveston News. fed, and was
pursued by the officers of the law and the rel
atives of the murdered victim. On reaching
the river Nile, he saw lion on the bank, and,
being dreadfHlly afraid, climbed up tree.
He. however, discovered serpent in the
upper branches of the tree, and being greatly
alarmed, threw himself into the river,
where he was carried off and eaten by
crocodile. Thus the earth, the air aud wator
alike refused shelter to murderer. The
foregoing fable was written fully 1000 years
ago, and teaches us how true it is that tim es
change and we change with them, also that
not every change is for the better. If the
murder referred to had been committed now,
instead Of 1000 years ago, the murderer-un-
less he were povertystricken, friendless
wretch, a mere superhuous human quantity
instead of fleeing from the sheriff, would have
hunted him up and given bail, in order to be-
better able to assist his attorneys in procuring
continuance from term to term aud tamper-
ing with the States witnesses, stealing
or quashing the original Indictment, procur-
ing changes OF venue, appeals, reversals, re-
mandments, and otherwise securing his COM
plete vindication when, in the course Of time
or eternity his trial came off, if it ever did.
This fable teaches US that there was once a
period when the murderer was regarded with
such adherence that even the wild beasts and
the elements refused him protection. 1t is
comforting to know that there was such a
period.

The plaintiff purchased of the defendant, a

purporting to enttle him to accommodations in
designated sleeping-car, in berth to be
pointed out by the conductor, thence to New
York City. A certain berth was accordingly
assigned him and designated on the ticket, but
at Pittsburg the car was detached, and diff
ferent and less safe and comfortable berth was
offered him in another car, which he declined
In an action, for damages for breach of con-
tract held lin an Indiana case) that he was en-
titled to continuous passage in the same car
and berth, or in one equally safe, comfortable
aud convenient and that it was no defense that
the defendant simply rented the cars to the
railway companies for the use of passengers A
passenger on defendants railway, finding no
vacant seats in the ordinary coaches the seats
being occupied either by passengers or their
baggage, proceeded to a drawing-room car
owned by private individual, but forming
part OF the train, and regularly run with it by
contract with the defendant and there took
seat. When called on for extra fare for that
seat he refused, announcing his readiness to 90

The Governorship.

The correspondent who, in our local col
umns, discusses the Governorship question,
is troubled by difficulties of his own devils
ing, and entertans apprehensions which
have no warrant in reason or precedent.
The er post fdcto obstacle has been argued
away during the long and animated discus
sion which followed upon the September
election. Repeatedly in the history of States
other than the original Thirteen, commu-
mites have chosen State officers on the same
day on which they adopted their State con
stitution, and chosen them under the provi-
sions of that instrument-and their action
has OF been questioned. The engrossing
on parchment of constitutional amend
ment is merely matter of record. The
amendment goes into effect when adopted.
unless otherwise specified.
Our correspondent deprecates an appeal
to the Court, but sees no way to avoid it ex-
cept through an election of Governor by the
Legislature. That is not an avoidance.
He fears that the acts of de ,fdcto Govern
or would not be good in law, and that legis-
lative measures which need the Gubernato-
rial approval to become laws, would, if
signed by a de fdcto Governor, be disputed,
and become the source of great annoyance
and much litigation. But how would it be
were his plan followed? Many people hold,
among them many able lawyers, that the
plurality amendment governs the Septem-
Der election, that Gen. Plasted has been
chosen Governor, and that the Legislature
has no right to make a choice. If that body
should proceed to a choice its action
would be as open to question as though
it acknowledged the government of the
September ballot by the amendment then
adopted. If the Legislature cannot declare
Plaisted elected without deciding that the
plurality amendment applies to the late
election, it cannot declare that no choice
was made without deciding that the amend
ment did not apply TO that election.
The anxiety of our correspondent con-
cerning ''a Constitutional Governor would
not be diminished in the least.
The fact is the troubles he anticipates
from the administration of a de facto Gov
ernor are entirely imaginary. 1t has been
decided again and again by the highest
tribunals, and is one of the oldest and best
established principles of English jurispru
dence that the acts of an officer de .fdcto are
valid as far as they affect third parties and
cannot be inquired into collaterally. An
officer de facto, says an ancient English de-

'Whom will you have first?" asked the
young lady, admiringly.
"You might call Mrs. Snooks."
The young lady called, got an answer, and
turned the wire over to the caller.
GOOD morning. Mrs. Snooks," yelled the
young man, with the tube at his ear, and bow
ing and igging round at the mouth piece.
"Happy New Year. Many returns. Eh? Oil
yes, charming. Been we'll? Can't stay long,
thanks Lots Of calls to make. What's that?
Yes, she's well. Had many calls? Indeed!
Glad to hear it. Goodbye and he laid down
the tube. 'Now you may call Mrs. Spooks"
The young lady did so, and the caller went
to work again.
Couldn't pass without seeing you, Mrs
Spooks. Cold weather we're having? Saw
you at the opera. Been out much this season?
Don't hear you. Oh, yes! I'm reading 'Ouida.
don't say So! You're fortunate. Happy New
Year. Good-bye" as he dropped the tube,
he bowed elaborately. "You may call Mrs.
Stocks"
Mrs. Stocks finally responded, and the young
man threw off his negligent attitude, and went
at the call with renewed vigor.
"Happy New Year, Mrs. Stocks; hope hear
you WELL ma'am. Strange weather we're hay-
ing. You sound charming. Mrs Stocks
congratulate you. How's that? Want to in
troduce the young ladies? Delighted, assure
you. All! Miss Shocks, charmed, yes, and
Miss Arabella Shocks, you fiatter me, and Miss
Nettie Shocks, I'm overwhelmed with the
honor" and the young man bowed deeply as
each name was signalled to him. pleasant
weather ladies' would like to stay longer, but
am awfully driven. Hope to see you soon
again. ladies. Well? hello, hello! All, yes!
so do Goodbye! Goodbye Miss Shocks!
Goodbye all!'
Miss .Thompkins, Miss Hidebrandt, Mrs.
Whiffchowski, Miss Semiramis Smith, Mrs.
Cobalt Sepia and fifty other ladies were Iung
up, and the calls were made, secundem drten.
The young man, very much fatigued, finally
took his leave, but in few minutes returned
with gloomy visage.
did you notice anything wrong with those
calls?'' he asked the young lady.
II thiIk not" she responded.
81 didn't get anything to eat,' said he, ''I
thought was doing big thing, but L lost the
best of the call"
But can't you go to some houses you have
not telepaoned and do yourself JUSTICE" in
quired the young lady.
II say, you must have been brought up in
good society,"" suggested the young man. 81
never thought of that. You're perfect lady,
you are; here's quarter" and the young man
and the coin went out simultaneously.
