DisrKIur ATTORNEY FEES.

An Issue B,tWetn rDsrIy aud DAVIS.
Ex District Attorney T. i. Davis has
presented to the county commissioners a
bill for fees IN CASES commenced by him in
the quarter gsslOus court but not tried
until after his term Of Office had expired.
The indictments were all drawn by Davis,
and, in acCOIdauCo with u custom which
has prevailed from time ImmemOTial, he
assisted if he did not take the lead in their
prosecution. His bill amounts to Si74, and
a ma )rlty of the commissioners are IN
favor Of paying II, as similar bills were
paid to ex District Attorneys Eshleman,
Johnson, Roseumiller and others. County
Solicitor Fry, however, declines to Rp
prove the bill, and IN this refusal he is
understood 70 be acting in consOuance
with the views Of District Attorney
Eberly. The trouble appears to arise out
OF the recently enacted law which requires
the new district attorney 80 earn fees TO at
least the amount Of e, 900 before ho shall
receive his salary, which is fixed at that
amount.
II the fees do not reach 81, 900 tho dis
triot attorney gets only the amount of the
fees Mr.. EJerly probably thinks II
would be safer to have the s4I4 credited
to his own account. II IS probable that a

We look to see shout of approval of
the verdict in the Rowell case, in Ba
tavia, n. Y, go up from the same
maudlin newspapers which so unstint.
edly commended the acquittal of James
Mutt on the ground OF emotional in
sanity. Rowell, who murdered his
wife's paramour, has been set free on
the ground of self defense, although 1t is
plain as MONDAY that it was mere pre-
text for the jury, who really meant to
justify his deed, There was no self
defense about it. He and his business
associate trapped the slain man in his
house, whittier the woman had invited
him. Armed with red pepper, q slung
shot and pistol, he crept softly in his
stocking feet to where the unsuspecting
victim lay, carefully distinguished him
from his wife and shot him in the most
cold blooded and cOwardly way. There
was nothing that makes murder in the
first degree lacking In the crime and
yet popular sentiment justifes the kill
ing, and the verdict of the jury sets the
avenger free.
Ii 1t is TO be written in the law tha
the adulterer, seducer or paramour shal
be shot on sight then let it be placed on
the statute books without delay, 50 that
the guiltier woman as in this Batavia
case, may be subject to the same fate as
her companion IL every man Is to be
come the judge and the avenger of his
own wrong, or fancied wrong, let that
doctrine be engrafted upon the statute
but in the name of all that is Chris
tian and law abiding let us have
done with this farce of having
laws and then applauding juries that
vindicate the violation OF them. The
spectacle Of Dan Sickles taking back tc
his home and bosom the woman whose
paramour he had killed, and of Theo
Tilton restoring to conjugal rights the
wife whose dishonor he had Haunted
before the country ought to have satiated
this generation with examples of free

ALLENTowN's hospitable Democracy
very promptly resent the idea that any
Change in the place of meeting of the
state convention need be made because
OF lack of accommodations there for
the delegates and visitors. Whatever
may be thought of the policy Of ever
holding a convention elsewhere than in
the state capital, we have never enter .
tanned any doubt that, after Allentown
was selected, the hospitality Of its citi.
zens would prove equal to any demand
made upon them. Besides, it is to be re
membered that for very large proper
tion of the delegates to the convention
Allentown is quite as conveniently cen
tral and accessible as any other place in
the state of equal size and with the same
facilities. Over 200 of the $50 delegates
tothe convention reside east of the Sus-
quehanna, aud fully half of the whole
number can reach Allentown as convent
