Ed. NoRTHwEsT:-0h the 7th inst. rare festivity
occurred here, one which there are very few who
celebrate, simply because they occur in the human
life 20 seldom. 1t was the golden wedding of Mr..
and Mrs. Jodocus Wagner. The patriarchal pair
were escorted to the Catholic church by number
of mounted young men fifty decorated in the nation
al colors. In getting out 81 the carriage salute
was fired in their honor. 1t was a grand sight to
this aged pair step up to the altar and receive
again the nuptial blessing which they had received
for the first time fifty years ago this day. They, as
well as others, moved to tears during the GER
emony by the touching and appropriate marks of
the minister, Rev. J. A. Mickcnfelter. After the
closing of the solemn high mass, the ancient couple
congratulated in the name of all invited guests
by Mr.. s. Schneider. The carriage which took them
home was again escorted as before and contained
the bride and groom their son John Wagner, their
nephew Jacob, Rev. j. A. Mickenfelter, and Mr.. p.
G. Schwab. Arriving at home sumptuous repast
was partaken of in the finely decorated dining room.
After dinner all were called to order by the minister
whereupon Mr. P. G. Schwab read an appropriate
poem expressly composed for the occasion, during
which the aged couple could not repress their tears
In the afternoon several songs were sung, inter.
mixed with "reminiscences of days gone by, the short
hours glided swiftly away. After hearty supper
the guests dispersed to their respective homes tax
ing with them the remembrance of day and its joys
they shall never forget. The guests were ell mar
red and elderly people, except the near relatives Of
the bride and groom. Among those bfe sent were
Mr. ana Mrs b Thome, Mrs SchwehlS, Mr. and Mrs
Thome, Mr. and Mrs P Schwab, Mr. and Mrs c
NJ Schwab, Mr. and Mrs BuIkhard, Mr. and Mrt
Deidrick, Mr. and Mfu Deidrich, Mr. and Mrs I
Smith, Mr. and Mrs Lesher, Mr. and Mrs NJ Lin
pach, Mrs sct,wab, Mr. and Mrs Schneider, ant
others whnfn we cannot now remember. The affai
was SO arranged by Mr. John Wagner, son of tn
aged pair, and few intimate friends, that it tool
them by surprise, hence their emotion at the mani
festations of filal affection displayed this, 70
them, 30 memorable day. Mr.. and Mrs. Wagne
came to this country in 1850 from Rhensh, Prussia
settling first at Avon, Lorain county, Ohio, fror
whence they removed to this place in 1868. The

could be present 1T their golden wedding, the otht
surviving son could not attend. One son lies at tn
bottom of Lake Erie, having been ship-wrecked as
sailor, and one rests on the memorable field

that proceeding being in accord with "the
sentiment Of the community" OF Nor
mons, was fully justified. under the new
light
fhe Bee "confesses an admiration for
the sentiment of well-known Common
Pleas Judge of Northwestern Ohio, who
had not read the evidence" in the Cole
Harmon case. but who 'burst out with,
"Why d--him; he (Harmon) ought to
have been shot on general principals, and
no Judge can charge otherwise" The
name Of this Judge is not given; but II
such declaration was made by a man
holding the positisn stated, his name
should be given to the public, in order
that his true character may be better
known" No man fit TO be trusted with
the administration of law, and could
make so shameless declaration, and the
probability is, that no Judge did 50.
The following extract from the able
charge of Judge Moore in that case. places
this, the point in question, on ground
which no Judge of Common Pleas or
other lawyer pretending TO character as
a jurist, will venture to dispute. The
Judge said:
Gentlemen, have said in your hear
ing, and now repeat to you that the de-
fendant had no right in law to take it on
himself to avenge his own wrongs,
whether real or imaginary, and what
ever improper relations may have existed
between the deceased and the wife of
the defendant, it furnishes no excuse or
justification to the defendant for the act
of killing for which he is charged. II he
was wronged the law furnishes him o
remedy. If such claim was permitted
lished there would be no protection to
society. The most atrocious criminals
would, under it, be permitted to escape,
by setting up the plea that they had been
first wronged."
In view of the vast importance of this
matter. and of having put into definite
shape as early as possible, why should
not Toledo lead off in that direction?
This City, some may remember, is
known in history as the birthplace of
the great National Greenback party of
the United States, of which the Toledo
Bee was a proud organ. Now inasmuch
as the 22d of this very month of Febru-
ary will be the fourth anniversary of the
birth of that stupendous movement for
upsetting all the laws of finance and
business intercourse between men here
tofore recognized among civilized nations,
by establishing the fiat" of sentiment"
in their place, why not select that day for
giving boom to this new dispensation
of justice right here, and let Toledo have
twin laurel for her brow? The Bee
should give it start. JUSTICE.

ttc-JOnu IN Dau FIX.
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY 9.-EX-Custo-
dian Pitney, Of the Treasury Department,
has revived the interest in the contin-
gent fund investigation by adding some
thing to his former testimony. Pitney
asked to be recalled and when he ap-
peared he stated that he had been IN
formed that Upton and Lamphere had
contradicted his testimony with regard
to employees of the Treasury having done
work for Secetary Sherman, for which
they were paid out of the contigent
fund. He asked that that portion of the
testimony of Upton and Lamphere re-
lating to his evidence be read 9to him.
This was done. 1t showed that Pitney
had been correctly informed. Upton
and Lamphere had contradicted him and
had testified positively that no employe
OF the Treasury had ever been paid out
of the contigent fund for work done for
Sherman. Pitney then reaffirmed his
testimony hat they had done such work
and had been paid for it ca of that fund,
and said he was prepared to 'ove it.
and alsoto prove that Secretary She. nan
and Mrs. fisherman knew that this VIC X
was SO paid for
Senator Hale sprang to his feet and
with some show of Indignation asked:
How dare you charge that Mrs. Sherman
knew this?'
Mr.. Pitney replied: because receiv-
ed notos from her asking me to osend
men to do certain work on different &C.
casione and have the notes here now."
He then produced certain notes prov
ing to hrve been written by Mrs. Sher-
man and requesting that workman be
sent to the Secetary's assistance. Pitney
added that he had received notes of the
same kind.from Secetary Sherman, and
also produced them. Pitney then enter
ed into details with regard to this work
and maintained that he could prove by
the books and records of the treasury
that the work was paid for out of the
contingent fund.
The committee finally decided to call
Upton and Lamphere and confront them
with Pitpey, also to have the books and
records of the contingent expenditures
present for examination in connection
with the testimony. Some of the lead
ing Stalwarts have quietly taken a great
deal of interest in this investigation
and great pressure was brought to bear
on Senator Logan to persuade him to
bring out all the calculated to embarrass
and injure Senator Sherman. Mr.. Logan
however resisted this pressure on the
ground that his personal relations with
Mr.. Sherman had not been very pleasant
and agreeable, and that it was known
they were not friendly and he did not
want to,do anything that would give
cover to the charge that he was actuated
by personal motives.

BROWNS BOLT.
The Georgia Senator Leaves the Demo-
Gratis In the Lurch-Au act OF Per-
Adv

fidy.
WASHINGTON, February 9.-Senator
Harris moved to-day to take up the reso-
luton to elect Neil S. Brown, Democrat,
Acting Chief Clerk. but it was defeated
by the vote of Senator Brown, OF Georgia,
Davis of Illinois voting for it. The
Democrats are very much incensed at
Brown because of his vote and say he is
endeavoring to get up reputation once
more as a non-partisan in order to obtain
certain federal appointments he wants.
Senator Brown has been quite active In
seeking federal appointments for Georgia
but the President has not been inclined
to grant his request; now, so say some
Democrats, Brown is indeavoring to
shape his course So as to make it appear
that he is hot averse to Independent poll
tics in hope that it may commend him to
the President. Another explanation OF
his vote offered by his critics is that he
has an idea that great independent
movement is developing which will carry
the country in 1884 and that he wants to
JON it.
