A PERJURY INDICTMENT.

The Grand Jury has indicted
Glen Berry for perjury in the Lind
say murder case. There is no ques-
ton that Berry swore falsely in the
case and his perjury calls for an in
dictment, trial and punishment.
The law regarding perjury is one
which is probably ignored rather
more frequently than any other On
the Statute book. Occasionally
Grand Jury takes cognizance OF the
matter and finds true bill. This
time Glen Berry, negro, is to be
made an example of. If his guilt
is established he will doubtless go
to the penitentiary where he de-
serves to go for number of years.
But while the Grand Jury werc in
dieting Glen Berry why did it not
90 right through with the work and
indict others in this city equally
culpable. There have been dozen
trials in the Justice court where the
perjury of this or that witness was
a matter of general comment. In
the Coombs case the perjury ct
some men whe were anxious to get
on the jury was SO open that the
District Judge called attention to
it. There is but one kind Of per-
Jury, false oath is as bad an1 as
deserving of punishment in a little
civil suit as in a murder case where
a life is sworn away. Men walk the
streets in this State carrying their
heads high iii air who ought to be
breaking rocks in the STATE Prison
gu AIRY along with their kind. Men
in high station give false returns to
the assessor and under solemn oath
hide their property. Men through
personal spite go on witness
stand and testify to fat, square lies
that they may injure some other
mans chances in getting justice.
No notice is taken of these fellows,
however, and they mingle with
their fellow men as before. There
should be a law passed that in any
case before a Justice of the Peace
or District Judge. where the court
believes that a perjury has been
committed By a witness, that it
shall be the duty of the court to
file complaint which shall be in
vestigated by the next Grand Jury.
Without truth in testimony the
law becomes dead letter.

PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
a Correspondent Gives the Law CONTROL
ing Them.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH AS the time is
approaching for the holding of the prim-
airy election of the Republican party for
the nomination Of supervisors and the
several ward officers, | ask that you give
this communication place in your col
umns, as it may tend to more enlighten
all as to who are entitled to vote at said
election
Section A of the act of June 8, 1881,
provides that eff any person not qualified
to vote at a general election shall vote at
nominating election held by any politi-
cal party he or they
shall be guilty of misdemeanor, and on
conviction shall be fined not exceeding
the sum of two hundred dollars and i'm
prisOned for term Of time not exceeding
three months.
1t will be seen from reading the above
section that person must possess all the
qualifications required of him to vote at
a general election before he can cast a
lawful ballot at primary election. The
act of June 90, 1881, provides further
that a person must also be qualified in &C
cordanCe with the rules adopted for the
government of primary elections by the
political party holding the same. The
rules adopted for the governing Of the
primary elections Of the Republican
party Of this city require among other
things, that person must have voted the
Republican ticket at the preceding
general election before he can vote at a
primary election. THE judge may adj
minister the oath to any elector offering
to vote as to his qualifications to vote at
such election"
The officers conducting primary cleo
ton shall, before entering upon the dis
charge Of their duties severally take and
subscribe to an oath or affirmation that
they will impartially and faithfully per
form their duties i'll accordance with the
laws and Constitution of the State and the
rules and regulation adopted for the gov
erning of said primary elections, meet
ings, &c. Any such officer presuming to
act in such capacity before the taking and
subscribing TO the oath or affirmation as
aforesaid, or shall willfully dis
regard the same by knowingly
rejecting the vote Of person entitled to
vote as aforesaid, or shall be guilty OF
of any wilfull fraud by destroying or de-
facing ballots, adding ballots other than
those lawfully voted, stufing the ballot
box, or by making false returns, shall be
guilty of misdemeanOr, and upon con-
viction shall be fined not exceeding two
hundred dollars for the first two of1enses
and not exceeding five hundred dollars
and Imprisonment not exceeding one year,
or both, at the discretion of the court, for
the last-named Offense.
1t will be seen from the above that the
law in relation to the holding of primary
elections is as stringent as the law in re
gard to the holding of general elections,
and there can be no good reason why it
cannot be conducted just as honestly. l
hope that all good citizens will see that
the law is strictly enforced, and that no
one will be allowed to vote unless he
possesses the necessary qualifications

Wendell Phillips.

With the death of Wendell Phll-
lips passes away one OF those glorious
lights along the line of life that tend
to penetrate and rend the clouds that
o'erhang our existence. Naturally
sympathetic and possessed with high
moral courage, he championed, In
telling eloquence, the cause Of the
down trodden and oppressed, and
this with no selfish end in view. His
character and attainments were OF the
highest. His time, means and voice
were ever enlisted in the interest OF
equity and right, erecting for himself
a monument imperishable. When
the announcement of the demise OF
such men reaches us, we look around
Us with anxious inquiry to find one
upon whom we can safely bestow the
honored but now empty mantle
Along with Gerrit Smith, Charles
Sumner and Lloyd Garrison, Wendell
Phillips sleeps the sleep that knows
no waking, but he, as they, still lives
in the memory Of his noble works
lett behind. He has fully merited
the esteem and the plaudits Of the
most exactiDg, and let us hope that
in his transition from his sphere Of
usefulness, he has risen to that ever
lasting peerage and happiness that
awaits the upright and just.

Better Turn the Tide.

The Philadelphia Press is making
the road very hard for Mayor King
by showing up the weakness Of his
police appointments. Mayer King
like every other long headed office
holder has taken up principle in APP
pointing colored men upon the police
force which makes it hard obliga.
ton for the colored voters Of Phila-
delphia to discharge They don't
want to appear ungrateful and unless
they vote for King they will be. We,
of course, believe in the event Of the
election of VIM. 3. Smith that col
ored men will be continued on the
force. Mr.. Smith could not afford to
do otherwise unless he wanted to
dig the grave Of the Republican
party. But this constant recognition
of colored men by Democrats in
Office and the vindication of their
rights by men who are not counted
as there friends, is a threatening
menace to the continuance of Repub
lican rule by the assistance Of col
ored votes, and we invite the atten-
ton ofthe Republican party through
out the state to the necessity Of turn
ing this tide in their own favor.
Too much undeserved credit has
has spoiled the disposition Of many
people, and when they are justly crit
cised upon overrated accomplishments,
they cannot stand the rub. People
who appear before the public in what
ever capacity it may be, are open TO
criticism. Whatever may be said by
this paper regarding the public actions
of our people, is not said out of malice
or partiality, but is done in all fair
ness, and if at any time we fail TO
criticise fairly we are willing to suffer
such condemnation as those deserve
who misrepresent facts.
