TIM fact that Governor Cleveland is
bachelor has suggested the question Of
who will be the lady of the White House
during his Presidency. A correspond
ent of the New York World announces
that Mrs. IIoyt, his sister, will probably
live with him in Washington as she has
done in Albany. The correspondent
further says: "She has never been what
is called society woman, but she is
blessed with good common sense. She
dresses quietly but in good taste, talks
with ease and makes favorable i'm
preston on everybody she meets. She
is good Christian, goes to church ev-
cry Sunday, and prefers the Presbyter-
ian fold. She has face that is as hon
est as the daylight itself, and kind,
good heart. She is Democrat by ma
ture, just as the Governor is, and the
only arstocracy she adheies to is the
aristocracy of doing right

The practice of letting perpetrators
of capital crimes loose upon society af-
ter conviction, though the hiring out
system will be questioned by the public
at large. This is n law. it is true, that
is at the discretion of the Judge, and
he, no doubt. has to meet many inllu-
ences in deciding the question, and the
circumstances under which the law can
operate and not prejudice justice. 1t is
true there are many cases where ii can
be applied without manifest injustice,
but in others it works simply on the
principle of bail in partial payments,
The prompt and vigorous enforcement
of the law is what keeps the wicked and
vicious in subsection. The fulfllment
of the penalty is the safeguard from the
dangerous classes, and where it is light
ly enacted and ignored it becomes a
mOckery against justice. This is illus
trated in the case Of Delsite, the lecher-
GUS hickman who was arrested Thurs
day on the charge of seduction and
adultery. lie had to answer to almost
elullluI ohdISc III lne court some time
ago, and after conviction and sentence
to the county Jail, was hired out by a
relative, and thereby was allowed to
prosecute his business, and as was
shown, repeat his outrages against a
wife and his children and the sociei at
large. This is where the law failed OF
Its intent, and where the payment of Q
pitiable fine made this man believe he
could outrage all justice and all decency
The line should be drawn, and the pow
ers Of the Judge If confined to thos,
where the ofienses were OF petty
character, would profit society and re
lieve the authorities from the response
r bility of the repetition of such crimes a
, that committed by Delsite. Capita
0 crimes should meet with capital punish
4 ment, and then society would be NOR
safe and more pure.

Notes and Comments.

New YORK EVENING Posi-: "Mr. Ed
munds draws no parallel between his own
record and that of Mr.. Blaine, but the
public can readily supply the omission.
In order to put Mr.. Edmunds in similar
predicament, he ought to have written to
the Burlington & Missouri people, point.
ing out the great service he had rendered
them in his official character as senator
as reason for being let in on the ground
floor, and telling them that he would not
be dead-head in the enterprise because
he could make himself useful in various
channels and that he would like to have
definite proposition To make the paral-
lei complete, he ought to have said after
ward in public debate that the Burling-
ton & Missouri road derived no benefit
whatever from the legislation of congress
or from his vote, and when his letters
proving the contrary were about to be
laid before an investigating committee, he
should have been thrown into state of
extreme agitation and terror, and have
gone to the holder of the letters and i'm
plored him to spare him (Edmunds) from
exposure aud ruin. Failing to move the
stonY.hearted man by such appeals, he
should have borrowed the letters on
promise to return them, and then he
should have violated his promise and kept
them till some of them were dragged
from him by an imperious public opinion.
We trust that Mr.. Phelps in his reply will
trace the parallel to the end, and not stop
halfway"
New YORK TIMES " If the defense
of Mr.. Blaine is continued with the
weapons brought into play during the
present week, nothing can prevent the
nomination of Senator Edmunds at the
Chicago convention. A few more analo-
gies from the maladroit Mr.. William
Walter Phelps, few more false and Ca
Illuminating articles from Jealous newspaper
organs, and even the most strongly mag
netized of the instructed Blaine dele
gates will desert him. The American
people love smartness, Of course. They
are captivated by dash and they
greatly admire pluck. We are willing to
admit that many of them approve wig
orous foreign policy though probably
without knowing very we'll what foreign
policy is. But the American people love
justice and fairness above all things, and
they have no feeling but contempt and
anger for man who, failing in a race,
meanly stabs winning rival. The
Straightforward and manly letter which
Senator Edmunds has done Mr.. Phelps
the honor to send him, is an excellent cam
paign document for the supporters of Mr..

WE expressed the belief recently that
public sentiment in every part of the state
turns naturally and spontaneously to MIR.
Billings, and with an enthusiastic warmth
and confidence to which few men-if, in
deed, any other man in the state-are heirs.
The proceedings at the state convention
last week strikingly confirmed this belief.
When Mr.. Billings was nominated for
third delegate-at-large, the cheers with
which his name was greeted came with
significant quickness, unanimity and fer
vor from the assembled representatives of
the republicans of the state. There was
nothing conventional in such demon
stration. Even Mr.. Edmunds' name failed
to evoke so much hearty enthusiasm and
spontaneous good will. The applause
rolled up in repeated waves which impa.
tiently brooked the supplementary speech
in which his nomination was seconded.
1t was genuine ovation, and his election
was made by a stalwart and according
"yea," into which delegates put their
hearts with the full strength of their
lungs. 1t was the distinguishing episode
of the session.

WE have learned with surprise that DIR.
Nichols is now candidate for reelection
to the Office of secretary of state. We
regret that he should allow himself to be
placed in position, under all the circum.
stances, so inconsistent with self-respect,
or that he should voluntarily place himself
in such position. In announcing DR..
Nichols candidacy for the governorship,
last winter, his newspaper sponsor, the
Free Press, said: "We could as
cheerfully support Colonel Pingree, who
is one of Vermont's worthiest citizens,
if il were possible to retain DR.. Mich
OILS in his present office. But he has,
as we understand, definitely decided to
retire from that matter of course
wholly within his own discretion to deter
mine" The Free Press spoke by ap-
thority. 1t was the recognized mouth
piece of DR.. Nichols in this matter. He
aspired to the governorship and in the
assurance of the hour, or in view of the
fact that the election of secretary of state
had passed out of the hands of the legis-
lature, he quit-clsimed his official holding
back to the people. He has held his pres.
emit Office nineteen years and has grown
rich out of its ever-increasing emoluments.
Its retention by him is no longer ga mat
ter of course wholly within his discretion
to determine" The people, we believe,
feel disposed to enforce their claim to
proprietorship in the office, and to control
its bestowsl. 1t is quite certain that he
who has the secretaryship will have to
win it. At all events, of the candidates
already announced, we are assured that
G. w. Porter, Esq., the present deputy
secretary, will continue to be candidate,
and that he will make no trades nor write
any letters of withdrawal. Our impress
sion is that if DIR. Nichols would escape
renewed disappointment, he will forbear
to press his suit for an office the title to
which he has once formally and publicly
relinquished.

broad charge that 'Mr. Edmunds had
voted while in the senate in favor of
land grant to a railroad in which he was
Interested and for Mr.. Phelps to declare
that 1 made no such representation, either
directly or by implication shows that
he lies or the New York Tribune lies"
HENRY WARD BEEoHER: "I cannot
reiterate my sentiments on the subject of
Mr.. Blaine's candidacy too strongly. His
nomination would be public calamity
and his election national disgrace. You
will, however, understand that personally
believe Mr.. Blaine to be an excellent
man but as politician his sun has set,
and he may now devote himself entirely
to the literary labor in which he so much
delights"

never transferred to Mr.. Fisher and the
money was returned. Mr.. Phelps, ignoring
entirely the evidence taken in the case,
undertakes to explain and justify Mr..
Blaine's official and railway transactions,
claiming that he bought the Little Rock
& Fort Smith securities at precisely the
same rate as others paid, and that there is
no evidence that he was appointed agent
to sell the bonds. The Post cites sufficient
evidence to prove all its charges, and re-
fers Mr.. Blaine's defender to floods of
additional evidence taken before the judici.
airy committee of the house in May, 1876.
The most surprising feature of the
whole matter is Mr.. Phelps attempt to
protect Mr.. Blaine by charging that Mr..
Edmunds, while holding the stock and
securities of that company, voted to con-
firm land grant to the Burlington &
Missouri railway. In the "analogy"
which Mr.. Phelps protested to discover in
the conduct of the two men he builds up
VluulCdtiOu VI hI' Didiuo' Vui' IIu-
munds' letter, published in another COL
umn, effectually disposes of Mr.. Phelps
charge and its author. The New York
Tribune made Mr.. Phelps letter the &C.
casion of a vicious attack upon Mr.. Ed
munds, and when that paper discovered
that it was all wrong in its facts it pro.
protested to find in Mr.. Edmunds' course
in the matter of the Burlington & Mis-.
souri, securities an exact parallel to that of
Mr.. Blaine in the matter of the Little Rock
& Fort Smith stock and bonds. The
extracts from the press which we publish,
and particularly that from the New York
Evening Post, completing the Tribune's
"parallel," will further explain this mat
ter, and will make "mighty interesting
reading"

vERMoNr's delegation to Chicago is

vERMoNr's delegation to Chicago is
now complete. The delegation-at-large
is strong in every respect. The exigencies
of this year of signal import to Vermont
demanded an equally strong district dele
cation. The list has the name of one
man who ranks with the state delegates.
1t has the names of three men who are
nobody in particular, and whose selection
is due more to personal desire to be thus
distinguished, and to successful manipu-
lation of the agencies by which such dis
tinction is won, than to any wish or pur-
pose of the people to send them to Chi
cago. Five-eighths of the delegation fully
realizes public expectations and embodies
a previously expressed purpose; three
eighths ia disappointment, except to the
delegates themselves and the little lotteries
of busy workers who comprised their
election.
