WE do not think even the opinions
ascribed to Judge Black and exc overnor
Curtin that the pardon of Kemble and
his associates was justifiable will reverse
the well-settled conviction of the people
of Pennsylvania that these guilty men
owed their escape from punishment to
the fact that their chief was a potent
and wealthy Republican politician.
Everything else apart they were shame
lessly guilty, they were gross offenders,
and if there was any technical over
straining of the law in their sentence,
there was technical defect to comply
with the rules of the pardon board in
their application for pardon. To punish
the guilty tcchnicality may pror arly be
interposed against technicality in, vked
in their favor, and no legal subtlety can
work reversal of the popular judgment
that kemble was duly sentenced and
that his pardon was a fragrant wrong
and enduring shame to the common
wealth.

Alf. SandersOn for Senator,

hhppcnsDarS News.
We don't know just now how affairs
stand in the Democratic ranks in this dis
trict i'll regard to state senator since the
death Of Mr.. Hereter, but We can con-
scientiousiy endorse every line which we
find in q recent issue of the Reading
Times, in regard to the affable gentleman
who controls SO intelligently the columns
of the Democratic Chronicle. The Demo
Gratis of this district can do no better than
indorse this recommendation, for it comes
from 4 journal that is pure, orthodox and
sincere. The article from the Times says !:
"The many friends OF Captain Sander
son in this city, as we'll rs in Lancaste, will
be pleased to learn that his friends in
and Adams counties arc urg-
ing him to become a candidate for state
senator in the Thirty second district, to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the death of
Senator Hereter. The captain is deserved
!y popular in Cumberland county, and his
friends hope to hear of his success in the
political world. He is at present editor of
,he Shippensburg CHr0uicle.''

Pittsburgh Correspondence OF the Times.
At the recent gathering of constitution
makers in this city discussion arose as tO
the workings Of various provisions of the
new constitution, and among others tho
section establishing board Of parions
was specially discussed, in view of tho
public criticisms relative to the pardon of
Tic Legislative bribcrs. Judge Black in
his remarks said {:

wealth in the case against kemble and felt
Il deep solicitudc as to what should be-
come of il. When his case was acted Oh
by the board was in Scotland, and when
heard of it thought of what Sydney
Smith said at the time Pennsylvania failed
to pay her bonds : that the proper thing
to do when any American came to London
would be to catch him, throw him down,
take away his pOcketbook and clothes and
London guide, sell the lot and apply the
proceeds to payment of interest OF Penn
sylvania bonds. felt that might happen
to me when went back to London. But
remembered that the attorney general
was on the board, and I had faith
in him and that he would not
do anything wrong OF allow the rest to
do it, and therefore az soon as got home

to remit kemble's punishment. When

II the new reform sheriff is not SLOW
to take a hint he will find broad one in
Judge Livingston s 'srecOmmendation that
the county pay for the blanks used i'm
the Office of the clerk of quarter
sessions. When Sheriff Strine went
in, we understand he paid his
predecessor some three hundred dol
lars for blanks in his office, and the
other day, upon an inventory taken.
Sheriff High paid Sheriff Strine even a
larger amount for blanks Which he turn
ed over to him. sNow, these are blanks,
nearly all of which ,phen flled o"t "be-
come public records" and the county is
no less liable to pay for them than for
those which DIR. Urban got paid for. If
Sheriff High has like enterprise, he will
speedily get Judge Livingston to mark
his bill and promptly demand its pay
ment from the commissioners under
threat of suing them in Judge Living
stol,'s court.

paired by Superintendent Kitch and Il
gang of half-a- dozen wOrkmen yesterday.
The water was shut off ut o'clock, a. m.
The broken main was excavated and re-
moved. 1t was found to have been broken
entirely through near the middle. A new
section, with q sleeve, was put in, and by
hard work on the part of the men, the re
pairs were finished by O'Clock, p. m.
When the water was shut OFF from the
broken 2O-inch main, the increased pres
sure and greater draft on tho smaller
mains sent the mud humming" through
them, and for some hours streams of yel-
low water flowed from the hydrants.
When late in the evening the water was
again turned into the 2O-inch main the
muddy dose was repeated but tho water
is all right now, and water-users have the
satisfaction of knowing that a great deal
of mud has been removed from the pipes.
