To A country person, not more. than
half way round the world from Boston,
q rustic couple went to be married, &C.
companied by the aunt of the bride, an
elderly female, with sharp eyes and
nose, and general air of intending
to see that everything was done duly
and in order. The aunt watched keenly
during the ceremony, nodding her head
vigorously at each emphatic word, and,
at the conclusion, she rose energetically
to her feet, saluted the newly-married
couple with business-like air, and then
turned briskly to the clergyman. "Mr.
NJ, she said, /" I never met you be-
fore, but I know who you are, and [
must say how beautiful and how gram

GUITEA!--S GUII.T

"A contemporary yesterday excused
Judge CON'S fOrbearance towards Guiteau
on the ground that Guiteau, under the law.
is presumed 20 be an innocent man until
he has been proved to be a guilty man.
Exactly the contrary OF this happens to be
the fact. GUiteau admits that he killed
the President, his counsel admit that this
killing was murder IL Gujtcal WAS sane.
and the law prr>uweS that all men are sane.
Judge Cox is therefore exposing the justice
of the Quilted States To public contempt
daily in the face alike OF all the admissions
and all the preSumptiOnS in the case. -
NClC York H0r!d.
There is more sophistry than lack of
wisdom perhaps, on the part of the
World in making the above statement.
1t is simply pandering to a well devel-
oped public prejudice against the aSSas-
sin. But it is not worth while to try to
peTvert principles of law in order to meet
out justice even to GUITEAU.
1.-THE Worlds position is correct, 1t
follows as logical sequence that the
whole trial was unnecessary and con-
trary to the spirit of our laws. 1t Is a
waste of time, and money, and per-
version of the uses of our courts to have
accorded GUITEAU trial. The right
thing to have done would have been,
when lie confessed the killing on the
morning Ofthe event, to have summoned
the mobandst strung himup. Orifnot this,
for Judge of the District Court, to
have summoned a jury, who under the
law must not have made up positive
opinion, and then without hearing a
witness or being informed of the char
acter or circumstances of the crime
otherwise than through the newspapers,
or street rumors, to have directed this
Jury to endorse q verdict of guilty of
murder, and thereupon the Judge
should have sentenced him to death.
Fortunately civilization in this coun-
try has advanced beyond mob law

even in the case of the monstrous
crime of assassinating our highest
official. The distinctions which the
law makes between the different
grades of crime even in such cases, are
TO be observed, even inthe case of the
vilest criminal.
sGUITAEU eonfesses he killed the Pres
ident, and he confesses at the same time
that he is sane.
That however, does not, nor would
not in any case, Justify Judge before
whom such criminal was brought for
trial, reversing the most sacred princi-
pie of the law, and treating him as q
murderer in the first degree and deserv-
ing only death, before chat fact was judi
cially ascertained under the forms OF
law. Judge Cox would have been boot
ed from the bench and received the just
condemnation Of the American people
if he had 50 far transcribed his province
and authority.
He must know nothing of the guilt or
innocence of the accused except what Is
case before him.
1t does not speak well for public jour-
mails of such standing and position as
the World occupies in America to be
taking such ground as that indicated
above, in order to pander to a depraved
and bloOd-thirsty spirit.
Nothing was ever lost by the main-
tenance of law and order. 1t may go
against the grain of the pOpu!ace IN
times of great public excitement, but in
the end it is better. 1t is when the
temptation to oyerstep law and order
becomes the greater that the virtue OF
maintaining them and the duty of the
press to stand by them, becomes the
greater also. Law and order involve no
! regrets and leave no stains.

WATER, MORE WATER,

The meeting Of citizens that is called
at the Court House tonight, on the wa
ter question, will come together unit
on the point that the supply of water
furnished by the eity's works is made
quate and unreliable. !.
That much is conceded in advance,
and need not be discussed.
The questions, therefore, which the
meeting should consider are these, viz:
l. Are the works inadequate and I'M
reliable for want Of capacity or for want
of management?
in the works, can the city now afford to
bald new and improved works; and
what is the plan?
3. 1.-THE trouble is in the manage
ment, in what particulars, and how can
il be reformed?
The correct reply to the first question
can be made in one word-bOth.
The works are inadequate because
both as respects the machinery, the
size Of the reservoir and the capacity of
the mains, the volume Of the water
furnished Is not suited to the needs of
the population and especially the manu-
factories depending upon them.
They are unreliable because they are
in a tumble-down condition; rotten
with age; the machinery unprotected
and sucking up the debris from the river
to clog and destroy it; and there is no
provision whatever against accident or
any resources against delays in making
repairs which must, in the natural
course Ofevents, sometimes be necessary.
The conclusion must be therefore,
either that We have,
% New works, or;
~ New management.
We can have new works; adequate
works; reliable works; in fact, the finest
works of any city ofthe size in the coun-
try, simply by applying the water rents
now collected from this city for the pur-
pose of supporting the water works,
faithfully and honestly to that object,
and ceasing to divert them to- illegiti-
mate uses. There need be no increase
IN taxation; there need be no loan;
there need be not one days delay-the
contract for new works on the most
improved plan can now be made, and
BY the time they are completed,
the surplus which is collected from the
CITY on water account, amounting to
SIS, 600 per annum, if withdrawn from
its illegitimate use and abuse, will be
ample to meet the expense of such Wa
ter works as will meet not only the de-
mands of the city but the highest ambi-
ton Of the city. This is fact and not
speculation.
1.-THE proposition is simply to improve
the condition and management OF the
old works, the field of operations is so
wide and suggestive, that we forbear to
particularize and gladly leave the sub
iect TO the consideration of the meeting,
wishing them much happiness in its dis
cUssion and signal success in solving the

Aftnr the Convention.

In view of the result of the Second District
convention held on Wednesday, and in view,
also, of the fact that the course of THE PuGNIx,
in publishing an announcement early in the
canvass that Mr.. Tyler would not enter the
lists for a third Congressional term, has been
adversely criticised as having 'gyen Mr..
Tyler away" and made it impossible for his
friends to move for his reelection, it is prop
er that we should briefly restate the facts in
the case, adding such comments as seem
proper.
Early in April last, when it had become
evident that there would be several candidates
in the field for the congressional nomination
in this district, we received letters from Tyler
in which he stated that he should abide by
the two-term rule and not ask for third cleo
ton. Reasons were given by him why, as a
matter of personal choice, he preferred to re-
turn to private life, and why, even could he
have a denomination without a contest, he
might not choose to remain in Congress.
There was no declaration that he would not
in any case or under any circumstances accept
a denomination, but from the general tone of
the letters We had no discretion, in justice TO
Mr.. Tyler, except to make the announcement

The DI.trict Con,ention.

The work of the Second District convention
on Wednesday was performed without friction
or unseemly contest and its result meets the
popular approval, except in the case of such
of Gen. CIRCUITS friends as feel that he has
not been rightly used in being denied sec
ond election. The convention was emphati-
cally one of the older men of the district II
was a matter of common remark at Montpe-
lier that SO many gray heads and venerable
forms had rarely or never been seen at SIM
liar political gathering. To these older men
Judge Poland represents the ideal of what a
man in public life should be and their sup
port of him came warm and enthusiastic
from the heart. We mako no attempt to
conceal our own belief that a wiser choice
would have been that of some one of the
young and able men of the district, who
would thus have been put in training for a
public career which at no distant day must
come to some of them. This consideration,
however, does not obscure the fact that in
the eyes of the country at large, the return
of Judge Poland to Congress will give Yer
mont large degree of prominence in mat
tiers of national legislation. He is at an age
when, of necessity, oil earlier ambitions are
in the background, and in his coming term
in Congress this district and the country at
large will have the benefit of his best gifts of
intellect, his ripest experience and his matur-
est judgment. His nomination gives an ele-
ment of positive strength to the state ticket
and his support by the Republicans of the
district should be and will be cordial and un-
Divided
