Many of the citizens in that section
Of the city through which the Balti-
more q Philadelphia Railroad is being
built, are complaining, and not without
good cause, at the distractions placed
upon the streets, which render travel
dangerous. The greatest cause for
complaint Is found at the junction of
the railroad with Scott street. Here q
great embankment has been thrown up
which is difficult to cross, even by foot
passengers, and not unattended with
danger from the almost constant cross
ing Of tramway cars. 1t is with the
greatest difficulty school children can
cross either in muddy or icy weather.
This is serious inconvenience, Is
Scott street is really the most
Travelled street Of all in that section
that cross Delaware avenue. A petit
ton, we understand, is being largely
signed to be presented to the City Coun-
Gil, asking for its Intervention with the
railroad company for relief for these
citizens.
1t is well known that railroads can
not be built without trou BILE, and more
or less self-denial upon the part Of citi-
zens is required, but at the same time
where there il such a just cause for
as is found on Scott street,
there should be no hesitation on the
part of the company to remove such
cause, especially as it could be done at
little expense and trouble, by making
easy and passable plank approaches to
and over the track without being sub
jected to the danger of sticking in the
mud or of falling and breaking limb
on the Ice. We have no doubt the con.
tractors who are grading that part Of the
road, who are really the parties to ap-
ply to in the case, when apprised OF the
complaints, will at once remove the
cause. 1t at least will be to their in
terest to do 10.

AT LAST accounts the life Of James
Mutt, the slayer Of the murderer Of his
father and the traducer of his sisters
h mr., hang suspended in the balance.
The charge Of the Court, though no
doubt an impartial one, brought but
little encouragement to the accused. 1t
was evident that the public did not look
upon the killing Of Dukes a. an insane
act. Senator Voorhees, struck the popu-
lar keynote when he said that James
Mutt did right in shooting Dukes. The
delay Of the jury in rendering verdict
is evidence that they are celebrating
upon the plea of insanity, which, from
the first, seemed but a weak plea. II
that plea is too weak to clear him, there
is 10 other left by which he can escape
verdict Of guilty Of murder In the
first degree.
Nobody pretends to say that the muir
der Of Dukes was not deliberate, but
that Mutt, who fred the deadly shot
was laboring under tho uncomfortable
impulse of an underlined feeling tia,
impclled him tomurder him. 1t is cvi
dent that the feeling ofthe jury IL to cleal
Mutt, but in doing so it is also desired
that the law shall not be strained. 1r
all probability before this issue Of tbs
REPUBLICAN reaches its readers, tn
difficulty will be solved.

The ghost of the little Argus has not
only undertook to come up from Its
musty bed, but has taken . soar into
the exalted regions Of sublimity and
eloquence, very unusual in ghosts.
Listen, from tho tomb comes the fol-
lowing:
"What would art be without the
strong aid of its richness, its gorgeous
ness and impressiveness In true
aesthetic sense, were the rich coloring
of courtly pageantry absent from his
tory, can we deny that one of its chief
est attractions would be wanting? We
cannot, even in this century Of Demo-
cratic awakening, deny the soft i'm
parchment. Poor humanity We are
80 weak And like David Dudley
Field, we all do dearly love lord.
Akin to this come rumors from New
York that the Judges of the lower
courts following the lead Of the Superior
Court Judges are to have silk gowns.

But how successful Poor King
Charles was full of the divinity that
doth hedge IA king, but the purple did
not save his royal head from the out
ragged proletaire, who savagely drank
his blood at the foot Of the scaiiold. On
the bench, too, the traditional 'spotless
ermine' has, since the days of Jeffrey
and Bacon to our own joint electoral
commission in 1876, been dragged in
the filthy mirc."
Only think with what hungry avidity
the furnishing Democracy will feast
upon these golden gems Of thought. Sub

sunsets pale into insigniticance, com
pared to it. But look here, little ghost,
hadn't you better keep down to hard

THE stated cause Of the sickness OF
L. Harper Jtiiries, late Controller Of the
city of Philadelphia, was a cold caught
by standing in the draught Of an open
door while talking to a friend. Az the
custom Of standing, lingering and talk
ing to person in an open doorway is a
very common one, no doubt many per
sons are sent to untimely graves by
such action. There could hardly be- a
better plan invented by which person
could catch cold than the habit Of
leaving a warm room, and after accom-
panying visitors to the front door, stant
there and talk for several minutes, pos
sihly d half hour, until the system be
comes chilled all through. If f. Har
per Jet1ries had been more considerat'
If his own health than OF obliging hi
! friends, he might still have been Phila
delphia's City Controller.

The death Of an entire family from
diseases originating from sewer gas in
st. Louis is but another additional
argument against the introduction of
deep tunnel sewering that has been in
vogue in many of our older cities and
which an effort was but recently made
TO introduce into our city. First, the
youngest child of Michael O'Brien died
after exhibiting What looked like cholera
symptoms. Five days afterward
Mrs. O'Brien died under similar cir
cumstances. A few days afterward
the remaining two children were at
tackled and died, and but few days
after that Mr.. O'Brien, the only sur
vivor, died.
The doctor who attended the family,
raid that sewer gas was undoubtedly
the cause of the deaths. The rooms in
which the family slept, contained a
sink, which connected with the large
Compton avenue sewer, and which was
the medium through which the deadly
gas was introduced into the house.
1t seems a little strange that at this
late day when the poisonous and fatal
effects Of sewer gas are 10 well known
and understood, that there should still
be so many strong advocates of the old
sewer system of drainage without the
cOnvenienCes Of flushing the sewers.

objections, bub in seeking for system

mon reason tells us that the system
that Immediately carries off the sewer
age in Theoretically sealed pipes tina
admit of flushing is the safest. W.
are led to believe that the West system
meets the objections to the old and t.
every other system. 1t is said to no

S.sssr for 0ovsrssr Of Utah.

Tno fnllauelpnlA fTeSS means, II
anything, to be sarcastic, but it most
assuredly pays General Butler . high
compliment when 1t says: "If he
could BE- persuaded to accept the Cover
norship Of Utah, his appointment would
be cordially endorsed by pretty much
everybody" We believe the Press has
uttered the hard naked truth. General
Butler would just fill the bill. He was
just the man to shoulder arms and
march through Baltimore at the CON-
mencement of the rebellion, while other
Union Generals thought it the safest
policy to march around 1t. When the
whole nation was perplexed to know
what to do with the slaves of the rebels
that escaped into the Union lines, But
Ter with one single word, solved the
difficulty, "Contrabands y Yes, that
was it, call them contrabands and con-
hscate them ~ other property that
afforded aid and relief to the enemy.
There was no trouble with the negro
question after that. 1t will be remem-
bered, too, that Butler, although made
the butt Of ridicule, was just the man
to subdue and keep in subsection the
rebellious city Of New Orleans. Rebels
Of both sexes spit their most empoison-
ed venom at him, and covered him with
lying accusations, but Butler shook
them all off as the strong lion shook the
morning dew from his name, and, hold
ing New Orleans in . tight grip, he
taught tho rebels 20 respect the old flag
or take the consequences. They gladly
chose to respect the flag. 1t is true that
the Dutch Gap and Fort Fisher enter
prises rather turned out to be conspicuous
failures, but then ditching and blowing
up forts wasn't exactly in his line. And,
though since the war ended he has
boxed the political compass all around,
1t cannot be said that he was y failure.
That man possesses considerable vitali-
ty who could take Massachusetts by the
political heels, turn it upside down, and
elect himself Governor in spite of 10, 900
Republican majority, and second time
came within few thousand votes OF
electing hiruself on the largest vote ever
polled in the State. He has made
rather prominent affair Of the Tewks-
bury Aims House investigation, but it
cannot be denied that wholesome re-
forms have been the result. Yes, we
would heartily second the nomination
Of General Butler for Governor Of Utah.
He would b. just the man for the place.
His habit Of meeting emergencies with
strong measures pre-eminently qualify
him ~ q Governor of Utah's polyga,
nous domain. The meek saints and
their numerous wives would soon find
out that Butler was boss around there,
President Arthur might hesitate abou,
appointing Butler to such position on
account of his professed Democracy, but
we haveno doubt that could be arranged
very easily by Butler slipping on hi.
Republican coat, which he always keeps
handy for cases of emergencies, and
after he has subdued Mormonism he
could easily slip it off again in time tc
appear before the Democratic National
Convention = full-fedged Democratic
candidate for the Presidency. Yes, we
second the nomination of Benjamin f.
