THE COMMISSION.

The Utah commission will prof. a.
bly, reach the city tonight, and
doubtless early take steps for put
ting the Edmunds act into opera
ton. The gentlemen, we undertake
to assert, will find the most quiet
and orderly community they have
seen since leaving their homes, and
wherever they may travel within
the five hundred miles of farms,
towns, vii ages and cities of Utah,
they will find tie same good order,
industry, thrift and evidence OF
prosperity, only i'll higher degree.
Salt Lake is the Gotham of tie ter
ritory, where all the hutbub is Gre
a;ed and the noise made; the head
quarters OF al the "Wickedness" of
which w hear so much, and tie
home e all those terrible "ab, NINA
tiOnS." 1t is hoped the commission
els will not suffer from enl III, but
they will certainly sometimes ask
themselves if Utah really is the
wicked region that she is painted: ! f
all this show of industry, sobrety,
honesty and peacefulness is put
on to deceive; if all are
cOnspiring under mask of
virtue to delude a world; if
all are keeping up the deception
during their lives, dying without
revealing their true characters. If
the commissioners are like other
men, they will sometimes wonder
why restrictive laws should be
made for these people, who seem to
have so little need for any laws ex-
cept those of nature, which send
the rain, make water run down hill, |
and cause corn and fruit and cattle |
and swine aid fowl to grow to serve
and feed man.
But the commissioners are not
for the Objectionable
statute which they come to put into
force. 1t is very unpleasant, and
must be an unsatisfactory duty that
las been assigned to these distin-
guished gentlemen. That they will
perform their labors with the view
o the least harm, with the aim to
isturb as little as possible the
eaceful and prosperous condition
f things, we are confident. Hence,
hey will be welcomed as friends
ather than received as enemies.

WHAT ARE the Washington police
doing? Jay Hubbell, the republi-
can blackmailer, has sent agents
through the various departments to
personally call on the clerks and
employees who have failed to "yol-
unfairly contribute" towards his
corruption fund. If this is not bold
robbery, then the Italian brigands
are not hipbwaVmen.

ers and several times suspended by
the neck in the hope OF forcing
from them a confession that they
were guilty of a most heinous
crime. The boys, standing on the
verge of an awful eternity,
with only a few moments-as
they believed-between them and
their God declared their
innocence. The mob was not salts
fed. and would certainly have
"strung up" the accused in earnest,
had it not been for the iniercessions
of one who had most cause to desire
their punishment had he been posi-
tive of their guilt. The conduct Of
the young men under the desperate
circumstances must have convinced
cool-headed men at least that there
is good cause to believe them inno-
cent. Besides being inexact in its
application, mOb punishment loses
the effects Of the moral example.
which is the real basis for the in
Fiction Of punishment by society.
The laws are not founded upon re-
yenge, but that is the sole incentive
to the mob. If revenge were the
object aimed at, the punishments
provided and the methods of apply
ing them would be entirely different
from what they are.
The frequency of lynchings de-
mands the correction of the evil,
which is growing more dangerous
than the violations Of law by those
recognized as the criminal classes.
To check this tendency to popular |
lawlessness some examples must be
made Of the mObs who assume the |
authority to regulate matters in
such a summary manner. Murder
ers must be treated as murderers

of the best citizens or the bloody
wretch who deliberately splits the

self outraged, as it sees Justice

JUDGE LYEGH.

The governor Of Louisiana has
done that which the executives of
many Of the American states and
territories could pattern after with
credit to themselves and honor to
their respective communities. Gov
eTnOr McEnery has offered reward
of $4,000 for information that will
lead to the conviction of a mob
that some time ago lynehed two
men. There are occasions when it
is necessary for society to hastily
form itself into a court of Justice
and assuming the functions of
judge, jury and executioner, pro-
coed to punish offenders in a sum-
mary manner. Such occasions are
rare, however, and must decrease in
number every year as society on the
frontier becomes organized and the
laws, methods and influences of
civilization extend themselves over
the land. People who have resided
any considerable length of time in
the western territories can probably
all recall instances where the au-
thority of Judge Lynch was wisely
exercised, and his DEGREES the only
ones that could be executed. The
little mining camp was a world unto
itself. It was necessarily without
law for the protection of individuals
or the guarding of property rights,
except such universal law as nature
has provided for man and beast and
bird, the law of might, by which
the stronger is protected and the
weaker suffers, Under these circum- !
stances the only protection for the
many was in banding together |
against the vicious. WilfuI murder |
could only be punished by Judge |
Lynch, who also was the only |
authority that could deal with the !
rebber, and he who disregarded the |
property rights of his fellows. |
Times have changed, however. |
With the settlement of the country
laws and means have been provided
for the punishment of the wicked |
and the protection of the innocent.
There are few spots in the broad
domain of the United States where
lynching can be justified. Yet
scarcely a week passes ia which the
wires do not bring news Of lynch
ings, and of mObs in search of
criminals, these items usually
closing with the significant as
seTtiOn: off found they viii IN
aOubtedly be lynched." These dis

frontier, but from the old-settIed
states of Kentucky, Missouri, Hi

Thomas Hughes ON Rusby,


The following is the reply of Mr.. Thomas
Hughes to the invitation to visit Rugby sent
him by resolution passed at meeting OF
the inhabitants OF the colony on February 9TH /:
EAsTBouRSE March TO- 1882
DEAR SRI have received your letter through
Mr. Farden, iurlosing copy of resolution
passed by public meeting held at Rngby
the 9TH instant, inviting me to visit the
settlement at once. It would not have needed
any invitation from the settlers to bring
take the journey. Indeed, before seeing my doc
tors had, unfortunately, written to my relations
on the spot my intention to do SO. which hear
may have already been communicated to you and
may have raised false hopes. regret to say that
far from allowing TO fulfill this intention. l
have been abso uIely forbidde to undertake the
journey by both the geHtlemen am in the habit
OF consulting. ! must ask you TO communicate
this to the settlers, and to express to them at
the SANE time my deep sympathy with them in all
the troubles and sorrows which have come upon
the settlement in the past year. do not think
that anyone can have felt them more keenly than
have done. or has risked more in the endeavor to
bring the settlement through them l trust that
better time is not far distant and that the mort
gees into whose hands the control has
passed will be more fortunate and successful in
their delicate and difficult task than the board has
been. am sure that they anxious that the
citizens should take control of the place them
selves, and that eve rything will be done by them
which can prom te tnat obi act. hope myself to
be still able to help on the prosperity of Rugby,
though at present unable to visit 1t. / must ask
you to thank the citizens very cordially from me
for their intention to give me kind welcome, not
the disappointment under which
they are suffering 80 keenly. am, desr SIR, al

John Quincy Adams as a Gambler.

But it was not altogether so'wIth his Flus-
trious father, John Quincy Adams, if he
story we once heard OF him be trIa,
Puritanic as the son of Abigail Adams was
in many respects. Its said that when Mr..
Adams, Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Gallatin were CO.
commissioners at Client, to negotiate a
treaty of peace with Great Britain, each OF
them purchased a fine painting to bring
home. Mr.. Gallatin had made choice of a
picture of the Virgin Mary, the work of an
eminent artist, which Mr.. Adams was ex-
ceedingly anxious to secure, and proposed to
Mr.. Gallatin some kind of a game Of cards
to decide the question. To this proposition
Mr. Gallatin is reported to have responded
in his broken English: q did not git de
Virgin in dat vey, aud 1 shall not part from
her in dat vey." That settled the matter,
and showed that the Swi was more
strongly opposed to games of chance than
even the Puritan-that is, if the story be
