The Exenntinn OF Radon,

The law has bad its way and James
Redden, shameless violator of the
law, and the sacredness of quiet hap
Py home, has paid the penalty of the
violation with the most important
thing he had to eive-his life. The
crime of which he is guilty was Of such
q dastardly and detestable character,
and so clearly proven upon him that no
attempt whatever was made to inter-
cede with the executive of the State for
a reprieve or in any manner to interfere
with the sentence of the law. A united
community approves the execution,
whatever regrets there may have been
that the depravity of human nature is
30 great as at times to require the ex.
treme enforcement of the law. We
have no regrets to offer that Redden was
executed, we have no defence to offer
for his dastardly crime.
But there is thought In connection
with the affair that should not he lost
sight of, even in the light OF the over
whelming guilt and just punishment of
Redden. We are told that he was a
man with good native talent-with
thoughts and ideas that indicated
mind that could have been improved by
education. Had this man been afforded
the opportunity of educating himself,
even in the commonest kind of a school,
his whole mind might have been turned
into different channel and lie might
have been good citis But so far
as education was concerned, we are told
that he was as ignorant as the brutes.
Living as a large number of people,
both black and white live, reared in
ignorance, with no moral guide, no ia.
Cilities for education for the blacks, can
We wonder that ignorance and vice pro-
dnce such monsters as Redden? Now
the question comes in appropriately,
how far is the State of Delaware NOR
ally responsible for this condition Of so

PATRIOTS, NOT INSURGENTS.

The telegraph insists on calling the peo-
pie of Herzegovina and Delmatia, who are
struggling against the Austrian tyranny,
insurgents" This is libel upon men
who deserve to rank among the bravest and
freest people on the earth. They are
patriots, not insurgents. They are fight.
ing to secure their exemption from con.
scription in the Austrian army q con-
scription which the Austrian Government
has no right whatever to enforce, save the
right of the strongest, and the enforcement
of which is virtually violation Of the
Treaty OF Berlin. That Treaty, however,
was in itself an outrage, in SO far as it
related to the occupation of the countries
which are now the scene of conflict The
European powers arrogated to themselves
right which none Of them possessed when
they undertook to hand over to Austria
these free peoples. The Dalmatiaus and
Herzegovinians are fighting for their free
dom and their ancient privileges, and they
ought TO command the heartiest sympathy
of the American people, and what is more
they ought to be made the objects of
something more substantial than mere
sympathy.

TIE SUNDAY LAW DECISION.

Four Justices of the Supreme Court have
decided the Sunday law constitutional,
and three Justices have expressed the
opinion that it is not constitutional. This
establishes the validity of the law so far as
the statute book is concerned, but SO far as
public opinion is concerned it leaves the
question pretty much where it was. The
Supreme Court, indeed, has managed to
contribute SO many diverse opinions on the
subject, that people of both sides can
equip themselves with arguments. Some
of the Judges think the religious question
does not enter into the decision at all.
Others hold that the religious question con-
stitutes the foundation of it. Some think
that the Legislature has perfect right to
make Sunday laws. Others maintain that
it has no such right. The strongest con.
sideration on this side of the question ap-
pears to US to have been advanced by the
dissenting Judges, and its clearest pre-
sentation is in the opinion of Justice
Sharpstein, who observes "If it be neces-
"sary that people should rest one day in
"seven, and unnecessary that they should
"rest two days in seven, and wholly imma-
"terial on what day they rest, it was

MINING sPooKs

A thrifty mining camp without liberal
supply of ghosts is . thing that cannot be
found, and the miner, however intelligent,
his makeup ought to own right away that
he is gold digging just for pastime and is
not in his "reg'lar business"
Speaking of spooks, the night shift EN-.
ployed awhile ago at the Eagle mine, on
the edge of Pine Grove Cemetery, got
shaken up badly. At first they didn't
hear anything worse than raps on the tim
bers midway in the incline shaft, which
passes under the burying- ground fence as
it descends, but after few nights of this
the sounds changed into shrieks of women,
groans of men, and cries of children, that
went echoing through the workings like
mad. Finally one of the employees actually
threw up his situation, telling the owner
of the mine confidentially that while he
was alone in a drift the night before he saw
woman right ahead Of him, leaning
against the side of the drift, and when he
asked what she was doing there the earth
opened and swallowed her up. He was
willing to swear that he saw all this, and
some of the other men offered to make aft.
davits as to the shrieks and groaas and
cries. The sounds were afterwards found
to be caused by the bellwire that went
down the shaft rubbing against spike, but
the mystery of the woman has not yet been
cleared up.
1t is whispered around in certain circles
that one of the big mines of the district
(some say the Wyoming), is sorely afflicted
now with visitants from the mysterious
bourne, who play all sorts of harmless
tricks on the workmen. For instance, the
other night lot of dinner buckets left in
the customary place were spirited away,
and after long search were found slowed
in deserted and lonely part of the work
ings. The miner that let this reporter into
the secret says that he doesn't believe in
ghosts and such like, but he knows mighty
well no human being did it, because every
man in the mine was right at his post all
the time before the discovery. The boys
say other equally blood curdling things
have happened in that locality lately, but
it's matter they don't like to, talk about,
and when inquisitive strangers breach 1t
they laughingly change the subject.
Perhaps the strangest case of all is the
one developed last week at certain mine,
where long time ago an employee met
with an accident that destroyed his eye.
sight. The workmen say that for several
days past, whenever they approach the
part OF the mine where the catastrophe &C.
CURED, their candles are suddenly extin-
guished by puff of wind from an unknown
quarter. The ventilation is 6rstrate, and
there is no chance for draft to exert
itself. The wind only blows while light
is trying to burn, and when the fame is
out Immediately subsidies. Some of the
miners who have talked it over are expect
ing to hear soon of the death of the blind
man, who moved away shortly after the ac-
cident and was alive when last heard from.
They don't tell on what grounds they con-
meet the two things, but simply do it.

BRITISH COLUMBIA.
AdyIces from Victoria.

VICTORIA, March 11th.-A scandal in the
best class of society is the talk Of the city. In
November last well. known citizen received
an appointment in Oregon, and left his wife
and three children behind him during his alb
sence His wife became acqusinted with a
minister of the Episcopal Church named Al
len, and a recent arrival from England. He
has been constant frequenter of her house
during the husbands absence, and it is re-
ported thst an improper intimacy existed be-
tween them. The husband returned suddenly
from Oregon, and OF once insisted upon sep
aration from his wife. There is much indig-
nation against Aliens conduct, as the hus-
band is a highly respectable citizen.
The case absorbing most interest in the
Circuit Court at Port Townsend is one in
which young man named McDermott
brought an action tc recover 50 600 damages
for bodily injury. About two months ago
McDermott undertook to abduct the daugh-
ter of minister. promising marriage. He
succeeded in taking the young lady short
distance from her parents residence. but was
overtaken and severely thrashed by friends

GARFIELD AND RosECRAGs.

The controversy which has suddenly
sprung up over an alleged letter of General
Garfeld's, depreciatory of General Rose
Grams, appears to have been deliberately
set on foot for the purpose of injuring the
memory of the dead President. In such a
case it is for the most part impossible for
the friends Of the deceased to give the true
explanation of the difficulty. Possibly
the circumstances under which this letter
was written may have been known only
to enc or tive persons. Possibly the letter
is a forgery. Unhappily forged letters are
no new infamy in our politics, and, equally
unfortunately, there are men high III poiiti-
cal position who can be thought capable of
ccnsenting to the employment OF even such
base means to compass their elds. In the
absence of all knowledge as to the genu-
ineness of the letter. or the facts alleged in
it, it is of course impossible to suggest any
explanation but it appears that outside Of
this letter all that can be brought forward
in evidence of the nature of GaIfield's
opinion concerning his old commander
fatty contradicts its alleged positions.
Now it is highly improbable that Garfield
was going about defending and prais:ng
General Rosecrans in all companies, at
the same time that he was writing
sccusatory letters to Judge Chase about
him. Indeed such a course would not
merely have been that of a hypocrite. but
that Of fool aud we do not think that
anything the world knows of Garfield will
justify it in suspecting him OF having
been either the one or the other. la a
comparison of eredibilities. in fact it
must be 5een at once to be far mere prob
able that Garfield did not write this letter.
than that having written it ne should have
maintained toward General Rosecrans the
attitude lie did. We do not credit General
Rosecrans with too much sagscity or good
Judgment, but we should have thought
that he would have possessed better sense
than to jump to the conclusion that this
letter was genuine, apparently for no
other reason than because it violated every
previous conception he had formed in re-
gard to the character OF General Garfield.
Such precipitation in forming an i'll opin-
ion on inadequate data indeed suggests the
rncomplimentary idea that if Garfield did
not write the letter, he would have been
fully justified in doing so.

SERGEANT MASON.

Sergeant Mason has been sentenced to
dishonorable discharge from the service,
and eight years imprisonment in a peni.
Tertiary. This is the military punishment
for missing Guiteau. We are somewhat
curious to know what the sentence would
have been if the Sergeant had not missed
him. No doubt it was extremely wrong of
this soldier to shoot at the assassin with
out hitting him, and we are well aware
that military law has no leniency for such
ofenses. When soldier fires he ought to
kill, since that is what he is for. We be.
lieve that the Court-martial also found
fault with the prisoner for having fred
upon a prisoner he was set to guard.
and possibly that offense was ostensibly
the basis of the judgment of the Court.
The general sentiment will be in favor OF

hanged, are facts which do not look well
when placed together.
