has tried, 1t was shown that on one route
which was the outcome OF the consplra

judges not being able to agree upon de
cree or disposition Of this case, in the
several phases, as very plainly appears by
their respective opinions, filed December

Difference to the opinion of the court and

the supreme court in their opinion in the
case delivered June A, 1888.

WEDNESDAY, EVENING. APR. .. iee
C,.e,rns,I,s Law ana Order.

We are telegraphed from Cincinnati
an editorial article In the Commercial
Gazette OF that town, which Is described
as ian accurate and powerful present
ment OF the situation here !" but the ex-
pressions of the article are of kind to
satisfy us Of the very little sense of the
Gazette editor and the men who find In IL
either power and accuracy or any other
good quality, Its idea is expressed In its
complaint that Jail full Of murderers Is
all Cincinnati has saved In quelling Its
riot. The Gazette does not regard that
AZ sufficient salvage. It believes 1t has
paid too dear for its whistle. 1t finds
that the reign of law and order is re
stored in Cincinnati-that law and
order which makes murder the safest
trade"
The Gazette talks for the sounds sake
of It's rhetoric, and with small regard for
sober sense. 1t is the misfortune of this
country that it is cursed with prominent
journals of this character f; whose edi'
tors, knowing the truth, speak what is
false, because they think it will tickle
the popular ear and gain them
friends. 1t may be that we dc
the Gazette editor too much credit
in believing that he is not the fool thai
he writes himself down, when he com
plains that the upholding of the govern
ment Of the law, which was done IL
preserving from mob violence the prison
ers in the Cincinnati Jail, was not al
achievement worthy of the most suprem,
effort of the authorities, and cheapl,
purchased at its cost of blood ant
money. The destruction of life at Gin
cinnati, great as it was, might hav,
been q thousand times greater, and ye
have been cheap, il by 1t alone could
the supremacy Of the law be maintained
The Gazette, we trust, maliciously mis-
states the fact when it says the Law
and "order which have been restored
make murder the safest trade" That |:
not the promise of law and order in the
civilized community ; and il it is the re
suit of the establishment Of law and
order in Cincinnati the city should be
disorganized and organized again. We
are sure that no citizen of the country
will be content to know that anywhere
within its limits community exists
where law and order worl
to make murder the safest trade
We do not believe it is so iu Cincinnati
and it is evident that an editor, who in
time like this can so far forget becomin
words of truth aud soberness, is not on
whose statements may be trusted.
murderers too readily escaped in Cincil
natl, it was through the fault of II
ministers OK the law, not Of Il
law itself. But the blood she
at Cincinnati was shed for the law
sake, not for It's evil ministers. 1t is Il
duty of Cincinnati to reform her minis
tiers when they need reforming but NJ
by overturning the law and suffering
greater evil TO remedy less. If Il
people OF Cincinnati have as little SEN
as their newspapers it would be goo
thing if the country troops would sho
them all, and supply their place.

REV. J. S. KEEPER in a paper in the
Reformed Church Quarterly on the
Demosthenic oath " makes this reference
to tho study Of Creek:
IL will be long before tho world shall
have ceased to go TO school TO Greece !;
before men can be persuaded TO desst
from tho study of that language which, as
sonc one has said, may be called "dead
language" only because it has ''put off flesh
and blood and put on Immortality" The
place, power and persistence OF the Greek
language aud literature depend chiefly
upon the fact that to them belongs so
large portion of " the best that has been
thought aud said in the world" Nonoisy
newspaper debate as TO the " utility" Of
the study of the dead languages can do
away with the pursuit of them. That
can be- done only by superseding them and
rendering them obsolete, through the
showing of /" a more excellent way" and
the bringing in Of o glory that excels their
glory. That day, however, has evidently
not yet dawned ; in all probability it is
still good way OFF.

THE NeW Era did itself no credit by
trying to conceal from its readers the
fact that its candidate for Congress, Hon.
A. Herr Smith, voted for the Fitz John
Porter bill, after its own intemperate
and bitter partisan opposition to that
measure and denunciation of those who
supported that measure. The Eromi
ner, however-now that its editor is a
candidate for Congress against Mr.
Smith-belies itself still worse in con-
demning Mr.. Smith for this vote when
at the time the vote was cast it rather
commended him for it. That cock

The New York Failures.

The panic III W All shSVt s0SVVi"NJ w"
naturally the subject OF much comment
upon the streets OF Richmond, and, as usual
people were not lacking who had foreseen
the whole thing and INDUCED in the gloom
lest forebodings a. to the final outcome oil
the situation. All this is causeless and
sepseless, and at this writing il would seem
that the final outcome had been realized.
few New York brokers who have bitten
off more than they can chaw have been
forced TO suspend, and two or three New
York banks have gone to the wall. AT the
close of business in New York yesterday
evening IL was thought that the worst was
over. and the public had the assurance OF
the Secretary of the Treasury that he would
do all in bis power TO prevent stringency
in the money market.
In any event, however, there is no occa-
sion for the people Of Richmond or OF any
other city to lie alarmed. There is not the
slightest reason for any pressure upon our
banks, or for allowing the situation to al
feet our business interests. We are per-
fectiy Salc III thhi1S tbhSS HN'NN''
and going about our business in the usual
way. We have the best authority Tor the
statement. that our banks have not been in
better condition since the war than they
are now, and that not one OF them is cor
respondent OF an institution in New York
that is in trouble. 1t so happens that at
this particular time the balance OF exchange
is against Richmond, consequently, il their
correspondents should fail the loss OF the
Richmond banks would be very small
But even were this not so, the conditions
which in great degree brought on the
Wall-street panic do not exist in Rich
mond. The stock operations in Richmond
are comparatively small and our banks
carry few, il any. securities OF fiuctuatlng
value. Their loans are principally upon
number one commercial paper and first
class collateral. There is no reason grow
Ing out OF the stock transactions in Rich
mond why they should take large risks in
fiuctuating securities. even were they in
clined to do so. This is the long and the
short OF the whole matter as far as Rich
mond is concerned, as any sensible man
must recognize upon calm reflection.

We published few days ago graphic
description of convict life and the convict
system in New Caledonia. This penal
settlement has been brought prominently
into notice recently by the indignation OF
the Australians at the deportation to it of
French convicts. Although several protests
on the part of tine British Government
have met with rebuff from France, the
Australians continue to urge the Home Gov
ernment to make fresh representations on
the subject. Technically speaking it may be,
as the French claim, that English cogni-
zance of the matter is an interference with
French domestic policy; but the fact re-
mains that the Australians have 4 great
grievance in the vicinage OF the penal set
Element. Large numbers Of convicts es-
cape and make their way to the Australian
colonies. This is a source OF constant irri'
tation to the colonists, and tits thought not
improbable that II diplomacy fails they
will resort to summary methods OF re-
dress. In fact, the situation has already
assumed the proportions OF little war
cloud, which may burst on very little ad.
ditional provocation, and involve the home
Government in very serious complications
with France

ThaCnnvantion.

Well, the Convention has met and done
It's work. II did It well. There was no
sympathy among Its members with the
policy Of raising the tariff to the dignity OF
an issue so great as to be worthy OF the
first place in the presidential election.
Mr.. JErrERsox's remark, I'VE are all Re-
publcans, we are all Federalists," may be
anplied TO the two sections OF the Demo-
cratic party Of Virginia. We are all Rev
cnue Rcformers, and we are all anti-tar'ii
agitators. The resolutions adopted by
the Convention bear testimony to this fact.
The delegates elected to the Chicago
Convention will go uninstructed, but not
without full knowledge OF what their
constituents expect OF them. We are
more than satisfied. We bad not expected
to be so well pleased with the results.
