His Majesty.

AIS majesty.
In the United States Of America
there is but one real King and that is
Law! The prosperity and salvation
of the country depends upon the su.
premacy Of His Majesty Lex. Judge
Lynch, corrupt juries and sentimen:
tai executives are the Jack Cades,
the Jacobin clubs and the Pretenders
that pluck at his crown and would
interfere with his legitimate sway.
We have often Thought the people
are prone to pirate too much about
liberty and the rights of manhood,
when tile true conservative fact Is
due reverence 10 the law OF the land.
Our constitution is already made. 1t
may require some amending, but as
a whole it is finished and complete.
Our liberties, rights and privileges
are defined and secured by that in.
strument, and the law is the sword
that executes the principles OF that
grand foundation. When men, there
fore, go beyond, or fall below the
law, it is disastrous. The latter is a
common crime, and is visited cur
rently by common punishment. The
former is a sin against the principles
of u constitution; it is taiita-
mount to rebellion against the re-
publican crown, and is Of the nature
OF treason. When Mr.. Scoville late
ly, in a public lecture, declared that
he regarded his client, the infamous
Guiteau, a doomed man, doomed not
by the righteous proceedings of the
law-but doomed to death by the I'M
lawful and violent action of the mob
he uttered one of the gravest ac-
cuSatlons eve made against the
American people. Guiteau has COM
mitted q terrible crime; for this he
is on his trial before his peers az
oording to the principles of OUT re-
publican institutions, and is under
the authority and protection of the
most solemn and universal power in
Il land-that Of the law. Yet the
advocate Of this poor wretch-whose
fidelity to mis- trust all must admire
complains that he has no assur-
ance of his clients safety, in spite of
his thorough submission to the su-
preme power, and because OF the
threats of the sworn subjects of that
power! When men would endeavOr
to execute justice by trampling on
the neck of the law, the country is
both disgraced and in danger. Gui-
teau's murder would be as an afro
cious a crime as the murder Of Gar
field. The latter was the result of
individual malice-the former would
be the deliberate usurpation of su-
preme power. 1t is to be hoped that
the government will see to 1t that no
such infamous sequel shall add a still
darker stain to the black chronicle
of guilt. If ever it was required that
American law should be indicated
in its all solemn and commanding
forms, it is in the ease of Guiteau.
Let him be hanged with all possible
decency, OF immured for life inexor-
ably, according to the judgement of
his peers in obedience to the consti-
tuition.

An exposition in Baltimore is
talked of for 1S92-the four hun
dredth anniversary of the discovery
of America by Columbus. 1t is to
excel the London, Paris and Vienna
eXpositions, and even the Centen-

certainly has advantages over other
placesin this respect, and her people,
too, possess energy and means, prime
factors in the success of such an un.
dertaking. Above every other
requisite, she has a power in the
Sun that will give spirit to the move.

A shrewd swindle is reported from

about the State. It's m0dus Operandi

offers him the patent right of his

on Christmas Eve. He sent to the

from whom he usually buys his
papers at the Capitol and had the
youth entirely clothed from cap to
boots. Then after having his hair
cut the amiable Senator took the
boy to his room, gave him some
fatherly advice and sent him home

\ dispatch published Saturday
announced that the first train passed
through the st. Gothard tunnel last
week. The tunnel, which was begunin
the autumn of 1872, had in the three
succeeding years advanced 5,0S4 Of
the 1925 yards, or 81 miles of its
entire length. in 1876 it was calcu
lated that it would be finished dur
ing the summer of 1879, but it seems
that it has taken Rlne years to get it
ready, for use. The cost of the tun-
mel has probably been ten million
dollars. The railway of which it
forms a part cost seven millions. OF
the, whole cost, Italy has agreed to
pay nine millions and Germany and
Switzerland four millions each. The
st. Gothard Railway runs from Fleu.
rem, on the Lake of Uri, to Comeriata,
in Italy, and it completes a direct
railway route, following that which
has been used by the diligence lines,
from. Paris to Naples, by way
of important towns in Switzerland.
and through Milan, Florence and
Rome.
