Wnshfnoton Post. 1871.

The expected action on the part of the
Treasury Department in regard to meet
ing the maturing obligations of the gov
ernment was made public late yesterday
afternoon by circular, which calls in
all the outstanding skies, and grants to
the holders the option of having the
bonds continued during the pleasure Of
the government at 81 per centum per
annum. The circular was prepared by
Secretary Window, and during the after
noon Attorney General MacVeagh and
Secretary; together they went over it
carefully. A number of alterations were
made in the language. and the slip as re-
vised was returned to the printer. The
following is

LAW or IIiCcnse2

There is a lawless spirit abroad that
bodies evil unless it shall be promptly
arrested by vigorous revival of
healthy public sentiment. While good
citizens in Washington are avowing SYM
pathy with an attempt at deliberate muir
der, equally respected citizens of other
localities, in almost every section of the
Union, are becoming actual murderers
by seizing and unlawfully putting to
nrath persons suspected or believed to
ha committed crimes for which the
pc atty is execution.
within the last ten days number of
IN Oldest and best ordered of the North
we .Crn States have been disgraced by
ly "hings, andsome ofthese have occurred
un 'cr circumstances calculated to destroy
all respect for law and the appliances
CO., justice, Asan illustration Of this take
the case of Ed. Williams, of Wisconsin,
one Of the alleged murderers of the Col
man brothers, A telegram of the 10Th
instant says:
Williams was caught in Hall County, Nebraska
last Saturday and conveyed 10 Durand, where
he arrived yesterday. In court this afternoon he
pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder The
courtroom was crowded and several men were
outside. Williams had scarcely entered his plea
and asked for time TO procure witnesses when u
moose was thrown over his neck. Those inside
the courtroom showed him TO a window, while
those outside pulled the rope, and he was dragged
some forty rods to a tree and hanged until he was
dead.
There is no excuse, no possible pallia-
tion of such outlawry. If organized So
Ciety is better than anarchy, if law is
better than license, if there is to be any
respect for the rights Of person and prop
erty, if we are not to plunge into chaos,
such proceedings as that murder ut Du-
rand must he stopped. The alleged out
law was sure of a fair trial if the mob had
spared him, aud he would undoubtedly
have been lawfully hanged in due course
Of time and justice
But Wisconsin has good company in
Ills disgrace, A telegram from Athens,
Ohio states that fact has come to light
in relation to the lynching of Davis, the
outragcr, there on Sunday night which
makes that affair all the more disgrace
ful. II seems that when Davis was taken
10 the bridge with a rope around his
neck he was asked TO confess. lie in
Ouired what would De done with him il

President Arthur and the Country.

Congress will meet under circumstances
peculiarly favorable for the dispatch Of
business. II is not easy TO recall the
time when, with no great questions TO dis
tract the public mind. SO much interest
was felt in the communication the Prcsi-
dent will make TO Congress. This is the
natural result of the favorable conception
which the country has obtained Of Arthur,
and is at once the best possible proof Of
the high place he has already come to
occupy in the public mind, especially
with the solid classes. The country in
stinctivcly feels when IL is to be in
structed, and when IL is 90 witness COM
monplacc performance. II need not be
inquired why, at time when all things
are running smoothly. and every man is
occupied for himself and contentod with
the outcome of his efforts, 50 much inter-
cstshould be felt in what President Arthur
will have to say. II is easy enough to
perceive how great a compliment this is
to him, for it doubtless proceeds from the
fact that the President is everywhere
understood TO be man Of practical views,
acquainted with affairs in their larger
application-a President. rs has been re-
marked, who has as little to learn con-
ccrning the great interests of the Nation
as any one of his predecessors.
The President is understood to be en-
gagged on his message. It may be pre-.
dictcd that the new Administration will
rest its claims to the good opinion Of the
country OH the way it manages its affairs,
rather than by expert use of power tc
gain popularity. In this manner will
President Arthur prove the possession oi
what his friends claim for him-ability
and tact of the higher order-and thi,
will be statesmanship.

man." Atthis there was an instant cry,
Throw him oft" The other end of the
rope W as made fast to the bridge, and
they gave him three minutes in which
to pray, but he did not attempt a prayer.
lie said he was ready to die, and when
the time expired he was hurled off the
bridge, aud his neck was broken by the
fall.
This, be it remembered, happened in
the State Of Ohio-tho Massachusetts of
the West--and in town named Athens
In that old community, where all the
means that the highest civilization has
provided for the administration of JUS
ticc are in their best estate, an alleged
criminal is seized by n mob, made TO con-
fCss the crime by means that would have
induced q similar confession from saint,
and then killed like n mad dog.
Il would not be difficult TO fill this
sheet with reCitals like those we have
given. North and South, East and West,
all over the land, the same reckless spirit
prevails. Itis not our present purpose to
discuss the causes that have produced
so deplorablc q result. We show the
danger that threatens society, and we call
on all who prefer law and order to the
reign of unrcstrained brute force to let
their influence be felt on the right side.

The Work Goes On.

Cook, Gibson, Woodward, Kinds & Co.,
since MacVeagh's flight, continue to do
business at the old stand. Cook gets 500
n day and the other members of the firm,
in addition to comfortable salaries, with
their. well-known habits ofthriGt, are lay
ing aside many an honest penny. At
present Woodward is on the affidavit
linc-his specially. Although what he
sweurs to seldom stands the test, it is all
the same. Salaries go on, and simple
people think the wheels of justice go
around. But intelligent persons are be-
ginning to inquire how long the mockery
is TO be kept UP.

Growth of the Country.

The recommendation by the Grangers
that new department be erected, to be
presided over by the Secretary of Agri-
culture, simply gives expression of very
generally accepted idea. 1t is to be qucs-
toned, however, whether expansion in
that is more needed than in other direc-
tions. Nearls every department of the
Government is overcrowded and should
be relieved, Especially is this true Of the
Treasury and Interior Departments. The
annexes, called bureaus, afford material
and create necessity for revision. Sew
eral of these outlying provinces, so to
speak, might with advantage to the SER
vice be brought together in separate de-
partments. The subject is one for prac-
tical consideration and ought to receive
it from the present Congress.

OHIO RIVER MAILS.
How Postinnster-GsnrraIJ James Crippled
Seryice-The Result.

TO the Editor Of THE REPUBLICAN:
The mail route from Cincinnati to Louis
Vile on the river was over hfly years old. 1t had
been discontinued for short periods but the people
always wished It continued. Since the present
Postmaster General came into office the Ohio
River mail route has been again abolished. There
are II few things about this matter that the people
Of the whole country should know. In the first
place, several counties on each side of the river
have no railroads, and those having railroads were
afforded much benefit by the river route In ad.
ditOn to that given them by the railroads. Vcvay
and Madison, both important trading and manu-.
iacluring cities, were, and are, greatly injured In
business by the reform that took away the river
mail. Madison has kind Ofa railroad controlled
by the Pennsylvania Company, aud run more for
roundabout way aud transfers of the mails over
this route from Cincinnati the Madison people do
not receive their mai ) Ms soon ns they did 10y the
river from Cincinnati and river towns. am re-.
linbly Informed that nm nEcnt OF the Cincinnati
t-Oilce condemned the river route without amy
knowledge of It, and certainly without the kn0w.

These people know too, that while their
| mail facilities are taken away from
them Eastern cities are given additional
| deliveries by mail-carriers, aud they will
not be slow to resent what they rightly consider
unjust discrimination. They say: New York can
have luxury in her mail delivery, but we cannot
have the bare nCccssarics." There are nearly
twenty counties in Indiana interested In aud Rf.
