A TRIPLE EXECUTION IN PRosPECr.-The
court OF Snyder county. Pa, yesterday pro-
nounced sentence OF death on Emanuel EtIin-
ger. Israel Erb and Jonathan Meyer, convicted
OF the murder Of Mrs. Gretchen Kintzler, Oh the
night OF December g. 1877. Ettnger was con-
victed In september, and Erb and Meyer in De-
cember. The evidence in all the cases showed
that all the condemned took an active part In
the killing OF Mrs. Ktntzler and her aged hus-
band who were brutally murdered and their
bedies burned to create the impression that
their death was the result OF an accidental fire.
The motive for the crime was money, the aged
couple having had several thousand dollars
secreted under the bed and partially buried in
the ground. The parties had been originally
INDICTED for the murder OF old kintzler, ard Erb
and an accomplice named Uriah Meyer were
tried for the crime. The only witness Of i'm
pOrtance against them was young girl, who
saw the murder committed and the house set
on fire. She did not enjoy good reputation
and, her testimony not being cOIroborated, the
jury acquitted the accused. After their liberation
the county commissioners engaged a detective,
who collected facts, by mingling with the mur
yiction Of three OF the participants in the
crime. Urtah Meyer, an accomplice, is at
large, having last been seen In Michigan.

True to Nature.

The Lancaster NeC EiG, Repub-
lican pap er gives the following graph
ic but faithful pen portrait of the
Honorable Benz. L. Hewitt, Republican
member of the legislature from Blair
county and Speaker of the House. 1t
shows plainly and painfully to what a
low moral grade the majority side
have reduced the status OF the legis-
lature of the good old Keystone. Will
the people of Pennsylvania continue TO
elect such blackguaIds for their law
makers?:
1t is not an easy task to speak a.
bout this man as he deserves. He
seems to have cast behind him all
sense of shame and every feeling of re
spect for the body of which he is Il
member ard to be doing his best to
merit the appelIation Of "an abettor Of
ringsters," which Wolfe, by universal
consent, pinned to his skirts. May we
not soon again see his like in the
Speakers chair at Harrisburg is the
heartfelt prayer Of every man who
has good name of the Commonwealth
at heart.

ADJOURNED.

To-day our stated Legislature ad.
journs, and the people will give q
sigh Of relief 1t is true that but
little good was expected from this body,
and in this view of tho case little tdis-
appointment is felt. Little Indeed
was done for the public good, although
the cry for reform legislation went up
from every county and from all par
ties. Some Of the laws Of Philadel-
phia especially are simply system of
legalized robbery that would haye dis
graced the Feudal age. The press Sand
the people of our fair metropolieS with
one voice plead and begged for relief
in the repeal of trese odious and op-
presSiYe laws, but their cries fell on
deaf ears. The rim gsters and Foosters
of both House and Senate, led by
Speaker Hewitt and President New
ell themselves, had everything their
own way and took 6 cd caro- to de-
feat every measure that had for its
ouject the public good But we ask
in all seriousness, are such vagabonds
and scoundrels as Hewitt and Newell
above all law? Are not their arbitra-
ry and disgraceful rulings subject to
appeals-tO the action Of the majority?
II blackguard speaker and minority
ring of rascally members can defeat
and defy an honorable and honest
majority under cover of a Sett of tradi-
tionary usages, called Parliamentary
rules, it is about time that such
''rulesn be most rigidly revised. The
Governor of the state, the Supreme
Judges, the Common Pleas Judges, in
fact all our public officers are amena-
ble to the law-any or all of them may
be impeached and removed for mis-
demeanor in Office. But why is it
tnat the dirty carcesses of a Hewitt
and Newell, who by falsehood,
trickerY and deceit have crept into
speake rs' chairs, should be above the
reach of law? Must the legislation Of
Pennsyl va nia-affecting as does over
four millions Of people-depend en-
tirely On the arbitrary will of two
wicked presiding officers ani a few
corrupt ringsterS? This is What the
people wish to know. Can such able
and honest Legislators as Senator Alex
auder and Representative Wolf throw
any light on the subject?

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington. ID. @. June 4. ),

Washington, d. c., June 4, 81.
The political sit uation in Virginia is
held to be hardly less important than
that In New York. | have seen no
one who believes the Republicans can
carry New Y ork for years to come, no
matter how the Senatorial fight may
be decided, but the immediate influence
of such 3 result on other Republican
states is not easily to be gauged. 1t
might be very great and it might be
very small. But Democratic defeat
in Virginia this fall could hardly fail
to effect the Democratic cause in other
Southern States very disastrously. The
disreputable combination which may
possibly bring about such a defeat
could not certainly maintain itself
long in Virginia, but it might in that
State and in others give place TO a
more respectable and more enduring
organization or alliance in opposition
to the Democratic party. Everything
that can be done should be done to win
a great Democratic victory in Virginia
this Fall.
The admins tration seems afraid to
begin new Investigations in the sever
al Departments here. The two which
were commenced early have shown
such a degree Of looseness in the trans
uctian of public business, and have
provoked so IN uch bitterness among
Republican poll ticians, that to go on
as was intended, alc inquire into all
the affairs Of all the Bureaus, would
be little less than to murder the party.
do not know how many prominent
Repu blicans will be indicted by reason
of alleged participation in the star
route business, but the names Of the
two who did most to carry Indiana in
October last-Brady and Dorsey-are
freely mentioned. Besides, there are
ugly stories ahoat, said to be endorsed
by Conkling and Platt, as to the al
legedpart icipation of both the Presi--
dent and his Secretary of State in
transact ions at least questionable. AS
these stories will soon be published in
full, we are likely to have lively sea-
son of accusation among the leaders,
rather than continuation of the in
quirY into the work Of the Depart
ments.
Mr.. Conkling's friends here have no
longer any hope of his election by this
Legislature, but they are equally pos
tive that no anti-Conkling man can
be chosen. Verify the Reput lican
party seems about 10 topple over and
fall into ruins. For years it has
tlourished on the misfortunates of one
section of our country, without prin-
ciple other than that of greed, it has
bought elections, grossly misrepresen-
ted the condition CT the government;
fed the people upon promises and the
shrewd distribution Of patronage, un-
til Gow IN the eleventh hour, after
years of crime and falsehood. internal
disscnsions are quietly but surely
doing the work it seemed impossible
for honest Democrats to do. In look
ing back over the past twenty years
and the parties which have struggled
for prominence, one cannot help be-
coming convinced that in his own
good time the great Ruler of the Uni.
verse does al things well, and though
villains may thrive for day, retribu-
tion comes, the more severe because
longer delayed.
