O'DONNELL'S COUNSEL.

The $500 raised by the Irish
Americans of New York to procure
counsel for O'Donnell, charged wi. b
the murder Of Carey the infOrmer,
has been wisely spent; Gen. Roger
A. Pryor, one of the ablest criminal
lawyers in New York has, been en-
| ployed for the purpose, and he will
soon take, if he has not already
taken, his departure for England to
enter upon his duties as defender
of the man whom one class of
people call a murderer, another an
avenger and patriot. That the at
tOrneys' duties will be arduOus,
those who arc familiar with the
trials of Irish offenders before En-
glish courts well know, and more
particularly will this be hard case
from the tact that O'Donuell, real
izing that posing as an avenger is
not peaceful or commanding posi-
ton before the courts and in the
presence Of the law, has Invested
himself of the heroic attachments
with which he was at first invested
by his admirers, and will put in
the plea of self-defense. If this is
a real justification, ali that is her.
ole, even among strict Irish senti-
mentalists, departs like the misty
shadows of dream, and O'Donnell
is entitled to acquittal on mere COM

LOTTERIES

The Postmaster-general is de
serving of the hearty commentator
that good people are bestowing upon
him for his effort to suppress lot
teries by refusing the use Of the
mails to those swindlipg CONCERNS
It is true, the gentleman is straining
his power and authority to the ut
most limit in this matter. There is
some doubt as to his right to go to
the extent that he has gone, but if
he remains within the bounds Of
reasonable construction Of the law,
moral people will and should APP
plaud and encourage him. 1t is
not a little strange that the lotteries
as conducted in the south can be
maintained, or that it should be ne
cessary for the law to interfere for
their suppression. 1t is strange
there are enough fools in the world
with money, to keep up these rob-
bing concerns. IF conducted upon
the most upright and honorable prin.
ciples, the drawings being absolutely
fair, and the awards promptly paid,
the chances would still be largely
against the ticket buyer winning.
If one person should buy all the
tickets and receive all the prizes in
al honest drawing, he would get
back less than half the money that |
he invested, the balance having
been spent for advertising, pay
ment of salaries, fees. and for other
general expenses. Then, when the
other fact is taken into considera-
tion-namely, that lotteries are
rarely if ever conducted honestly, it
seems marvellous that enough dupes
can be found to make it necessary
for the law to step in for their pro-
lection. 1t is to the credit of the
Northern States that without excep-
ton, they have laws making the
holding Of lotteries criminal, and it
is to the discredit of several Of the
Southern States that, if lotteries are
not directly and openly authorized
and encouraged by the Legislatures,
hey are certainly not discouraged,
and no attempt is made to prevent
them. We hope nobody in Utah is
so yerdant as to send money to any
of the swindling schemes that prom
Use so much and perform so little.

THE MINING INSTITUTION.

THE HERALD is in full sympathy
with the Salt Lake Mining Institu-
ton which was organized last even
ing, and we believe fair start has
been made. It hiss been surprising
to citizens and strangers alike that
some such movement was not in
augurated long ago, and that we
have not to-day thriving and use
full exchange, where buyers and
sellers might be brought together,
and the wonderful mineral resources
of the Territory shown TO the
world. Sending samples and speci-
mems to the expositions elsewhere is
we'll and proper. 1t is a good ad-
vertisement and results in more or
less benefit to Utah as well as to the
exhibitors. 1t is to be hoped this
practice will not be discontinued
but carried on even more extern
sively than heretofore. At the
same time here at home is the best
place for exhibiting what we have
to show in the;way Of mineral re-
sources. Here is where we can
make the only complete display
ard impart the required informa-
ton. Here is where we want and
need the investors, and is
where they expect to find
what they ale looking for.
The scheme proposed by Colonel
Hollister, and which was adopted
at the Walker House meeting last
week, is as good plan as could be
suggested, and will undoubtedly
commend itself to the miners and
business men generally who are
interested in the growth and devel-
opment of the Territory, and in
letting capitalists know upon what
firm foundation they can build out
here in Utah. It will require be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 to
perfect the exchange and
maintain it the first year.
Colonel HOLSTERS plan is to raise
the money by subscription by the
mining men, merchants, bankers

safe man, as good . one for the bust
ness in hand as could be found in
the whole country.
Pryor, personally, is one of the
most uncouth and homely persons
in existence, but what he lacks in
appearance he makes up for in
sterling qualities. and We wish him
the best kind of success continually,
such success in fact as he has lately
enjoyed.

A CHANGE NECESSARY.

Nothing shows more perfectly the
prodigality of Republicanism than the
management of the internal revenue
bureau under the several Republican
presidents. From June 80, 1862, to
June 3d. 1868, under Abraham Lin
coin, to collect $37, $4,000 of internal
revenue cost the country $108,685, or
0.29 per cent. From 1863 to 1854, be-
tween the same dates, 10 collect $780,
TAI, 600 cost S25S.S72, or O.23 per cent.
From 1864 to 1855 the collection of
$2O9, 464 900 of revenue cost 1886. 239.
or O.1S per cent. From June
80, 1869, to June 30, 1870, the
first year of Grantism, the collection
of 1884, $685. 900 cost 1902 per cent. From
1870 to 1871 the expense of collecting
was $50 per cent; from 1871 to 1872,
436 per cent; from 1872 to 1873, 1859
per cent; to 1874, 440 per cent, and to
1876, 3.S9 per cent. For the four years
under Hayes the average annual cost
of collecting the internal revenue was
3O7 per cent, while under Lincoln the
average had been fraction over 0.23
per cent. In 1881 to collect $135, 1884,
600 of revenue cost $4,327,O 600, or 800
per cent. In 1882 to collect $146, 49,
600 of revenue, under the present
administration, cost (estimateO $4,-
100000, while, we have said, to
collect $2O9, $4,000 under Abraham
Lincoln cost only 1886 ,239. The
profligate extravaganza seen in this
ranch of the public service may be
found in every department of the
federal government. The Republican
party is no longer the party it was
under Abraham Lincoln. 1t has
grown extravagant and corrupt
through the long exercise of power,
and the safety of the federal govern
ment depends upon the change of po-
litical heads in the administration of
its affairs.

THE Georgia democrats give the
colored people substantial proof that
new and better era awaits the ne
gro whenever he can summon reSo-
luton enough to shake off the shackles
OF the Republican party. When a
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS unseats white
member and admits negro to his
place, it is quite evident that there
need be no fear about the democracy
infringing upon the political rights
guaranteed the negro by the war
amendments. There is no good rea-
son why a race division should for
ever array the whites and the negroes
of the south in two antagonistic divi-
sionS, and this significant action of
the Georgia legislature should con-
vince the colored people all over the
country that they have everything to
gain and nothing to lose by culti-
waiting political independence. They
have placed themselves in voluntary
bondage to the Republican party, and
their emancipation from this self
assumed Servitude rests wholly in
their own hands. Whenever they
resolve to be their own masters in
politics they will find their imp0r-
lance and influence vastly greater
than it is now.-St. Louis Republican.
The unseating of white man to
put a negro in his place is no new
thing in theSouth. Over four years ago
the House of the Sixteenth Legisla-
ture, an almost solid Democratic
body, unseated Col. Dennis, Demo-
crat, returned from Wharton. Fort
Bend and Waller counties, and gave
his seat to a republican negro, and that,
too. when the record was in favor of
Col. Dennis, because of informality in
returns. The negro was of no earthly
value as member, and THE STATES
MAN and other Democratic papers
condemned the disregarding of the
record. But the legislature acted ON
the supposed intent of voters and did
as we have said. Such facts show that
there is no purpose among Democrats
in the South to politica ly ignore the
rights of negroes. even though they
be blind Republicans.

The History of a Sniff of Armor.

A suit of armor that originally be-
longed to King Francis L, of France,
has had strange history in modern
times. 1t was bought, says CORE
spondent of the st. James Gazette,
by the late Sir Anthony Rothschild
for e100, and sold by him to the late
Lord Ashburnham for $1,000. Some
years afterward it was sold by Lord
Ashburnham for $4,000 to dealer in
curiosities, who resold it within
twenty-four hours to a wealthy Gus
toner for no less sum than Ell, 600.
The subsequent history of the armor
is even more remarkable. 1t was de-
posted by its purchasers in the Bel
grave square Pantechnicon, and when
that unfortunate building was de-
stroyed by fire the armor was buried
beneath the ruins. Dug out of the
debris, it was sold for few pounds
as old iron. It survived, however,
even this degradation; for, after un-
dergoing a process of renovation, it
was subsequently sold for G12,O00 to
Mr.. Splitter. of Paris, where it is said
to be now on sale for 10000.

REcODIFY THE LAW.


Comment upon the verdict in the
Costley case was freely INDUCED in
yesterday. and, except where friend
ship, sympathy or interest was at the
bottom of an opinion, it WAS against
the finding of the jury. THE STATES
MAN has no motive to subserve in
condemning the verdict, except one,
in which every man, woman and
child in the state is interested.
A mans life was taken, and
it appears from the evidence
that the deadly shots which
took away from him precious life
were fired without such immediate
provocation as would warrant any
violent act of self-defense. A careful
search of the dead mans
body aud its surroundings
showed that when he came into
Costley's presence he had no weapon
with which to attack or to defend
himself. That difficulties had occurred
between the two men, and that they
were unfriendly, was no reason for the
use of the deadly pistol. 1t was prov
en- that Persons errand, when he
came upon Costley the day of his
death, was one of humanity. He had
no thought of renewing any difficulty,
but was seeking medical aid for an
afflicted relative. True, Costley did
not know the nature of his errand,
but it was his duty to
see and know that it was not one of
hostility, before deadly weapon was
called into requisition. What appears
to be the true theory of this case is,
that when Pierson came to where
Costley was the latter assumed that
the meeting was intended as inimical
and thereupon, seized with
terror at what he regarded
as a coming pesonal encounter
he acted without thought, in an eager
desire to save himself. Pierson was
shot at sight, and when shot he had
made no demonstration that could
warrant Costley in concluding his
purpose was to attack him yet

of murder in any degree. Penal SEN
fences have been instituted for the
protection ofsociety, the primary OBJ
ject not being punishment but the
effect of such finding as this is cal
culated to license instead of to pre-
vent crime. We do not pretend to say
that the charge of the eminent and
just judge who presided was not based
upon the very letter of law, but how
the evidence could be construed to
warrant acquittal cannot be under.
stood If the law and the evidence
require such finding recodiication
of at least portion of our criminal
law is necessary. The motives OF
jurymen are not impugned
but if this decision be
made precedent, then the murderer
may kill at will, and successfully de-
fend himself on the ground that a
bare attitude, innocent though it may
be, may be interpreted to suit his
will, and thus to warrant the shed.

MOnsigneur CapeI on the Round.

NEW YORK, July 3O.-Monsigneur
Capel, after resting. called upon Card
inal McCloskey and Archbishop Car
rigan and had brief interview with
each. He left the city at o'clock
for Burlington, Ia, where he will
make short visit to some friends.
Monsigneur Capel proposes to give a
course of lectures in the principal
cities. Among other things he will
lecture on art, painting. travel, educa-
ton, Catholicism and kindred sub
jects. One of the principal objects of
his visit is to study American insti-
buttons and observe the effect of their
influence upon the growth and de-
velopment of the Roman Catholic
religion. He will travel much in the
west, going probably to San Francis
co, and during his journeying he in
tends to make careful study of the
American educational system, of
which he says he has high opinion.
He will preach frequently.

The following article from the Buff
falo express Republican) explains
itself:
"The statement that comes from
Washington to the effect that PreSi-
dent Arthur would be glad TO be nomi-
mated for his present office next year
is easily credited. The further state
ments that his d, sire for a nomina-
ton proceeds from a natural desire
to occupy the office upon direct ver-
dict of the people, and that he has
keenly felt some of the criticisms upon
him which were the result of COM
plications' existing when he succeeded
Garfield, are also probable. Indeed,
this state of things might easily have
been inferred by anybody. The
man wlo would not rather like to
be nominated and elected presi-
dent of the United States, if it could
be done IN a tidy way, probably does
not live. The fact that Mr.. Arthur
occupies the Office now is all the more
reason why he wants it again. The
peculiar circumstances by which he
is surrounded naturally increase the
desire. Almost every. man has spe-
clal, as well as general reasons for
wanting to be president. But be
cause man would like to be presi-
dent is no reason for giving it to him.
The question is not what Mr.. Arthur
wants, but what do the people want ?
However kindly they may feel toward
him for some creditable acts, there is
no reason to suppose they want him
continued, and considerable reason to
suppose they do not want any such
thing"
