Mayor Collinss argument in the Su-
preme Court last week in behalf of ex
County Collector Farrier shows him to be
one of the most fertile lawyers in the
State. He made shrewd and more than
plausible plea for his client, and presented
his points in an insinuating address that
captivated, if it did not convince. Judga
McDermott made an unusually bright
speech in response. His suggestion that
Mr.. Farrier might as well have wiped out
the whole County government with sweep
of his constitutional Imagination, as
have robbed it of its functions in the mat
ter of his removal, was especially good.

TIL e trial of a wife for abusing and NAL
treating her husband-and especially a
crippled husband, for whom the tenderest
of wifely sympathies should be aroused
is not an edifying spectacle. Newark fur
nishes the last story of the kind. John
Chosen had been man of substance in his
day. He had wife and daughter and
little property. The two women fattered
and cajoled him till in moment of over
confidence he made over all his property to
them. Then, their object having been at
tanned, they begun to show the cloven foot.
They shut the best part of the house off
from him; made him on one occasion buy
his way to the outside of the house so that
he might go to work, with dollar bill at
each of half dozen doors that they locked
npon him; and when he was crippled by
paralysis, left him in the garnet unattended,
to suffer from the cold, then gave him the
option of going to the cellar to warm him
self at the furnace, and fed him on cold
crusts and kept him in rags, and finally
took advantage of his helplessness to beat
him with barrel hoops. The neighbors
went to the rescue, took him out of the
hands of his unnatural prosecutors and had
the wife indicted for assault. At her trial
on Friday, the daughter sat by her side.
with diamonds in her ears, to hear her
abused old father reluctantly tell how the
neighbors had to supply him with clothing
to cover his nakedness. And. in spite of it
all, the old man, crippled in spirit and in
tellect by the abuse of years as he was Grip
pied in body, begged the Court to stop the
proceedings and save his wife from punish
ment. The Court turned a deaf ear to the
entreaty and the woman was very properly
coveted.

Henry Brehm, the murderer of segar
maker Schaublin of Greenville, deemed
prudence the better part Of valor, and
chose the certainty of ten years term in
State prison to the unpleasant alternative
of a chance of losing his head. Ex-Judge
Hoffman, his counsel, saw the elabor-
ate preparations the State had made to
convince the jury that he had done the
murder in cold blood. and shrewdly adj
vised him to enter a plea of manslaughter.
Brehm stood mighty good show of being
convicted of the highest crime known to
the law if he went to trial, and the TATTLER
is surprised at the readiness with which
the States officers accepted the plea to the
lower grade of crime.

For this the county pays out annually owe,

There is no doubt vast deal of dissatis-
faction in the County over the course Con-
gresham McAdoo is pursuing. 1t does not
grow entirely out of the fact that he is Sc
curing nothing for his constituency. That
might be set down to his inability to do any
thing for them. AS no one can expect q
man to do more than he can, no fault can
be found with him, if, finding himself I'M
able to secure share of the Offices in the
new distribution, he fails to get any Of
them. But he could at least show himself
among his people, and that he has not
done. He was in New York few days
ago to make a speech before Tammany.
He did not think it worth while to cross
the river to see his constituents; and the
Democracy of the County feel the slight.
His friend say that the Congressman deems
it wise and proper to stay in Washington to
watch his opportunities. He may be right
in doing that, but, outside of that, if he
can come to New York for day or two, be
certainly ought to be able to spare an hour
or two in this city. His attention to other
constituencies at the expense of his own
has given rise to the report that he is cult
waiting the Tammany crowd with view Of
settling in New York, and seeking return
to Congress from one of the districts there,
and to the very much less likely fiction
that he is too busy in bespeaking ''posi-
ton" for himself at the close of his Con-
gressional term, to attend to the needs Of
any one else. We do not take much stock
in either speculation; but we are convinced
that Mr.. McAdoo should, at least. honor
the voters who made him what he is, by
shaking hands with them.

that man who is hanged shall be denied
a public burial, but isn't that pursuing a
man after death? What difference does it
make what kind of funeral Sisco had or
whether he had funeral or not? Sisco
was besotted murderer and no one is
likely to be effected by any services held
over his body--indeed, SO far as we are
able to judge, the more public the services
were the more contempt would secure for
themselves and the dead murderer.

Ben Vail, whom one of those unaccount-
able chances that once in while fall under
the eye, made President of the State SEN
ate, pretends that the acquittal of the men
who charged him, on the eve of the last
State election, with having defrauded q
client, is an acquittal of himself. One of
the defendants whom he charged with hav-
ing lbeled him by making the story public,
reiterates the charge in letter, more than
a column in length, published last Friday
in the Railway Democrat. He says that the
best evidence of the truth of his charge
against the accidental Senator from Union
County is the fact that the courts of this
State compelled him to deed back to his
client the farm out of which he had chiseled
him. The fact that Vail had been elected
to the Assembly and Senate each, twice,
because the truth of the disreputable trans
action had never been ventilated. Mr..
Gibby, the writer referred to, says that he
did not know of the transaction until three
years ago. when Vail was looking for his
second Second Senatorial term. He wrote
at once to the courts for copies of the doc
uments in the case. He did not receive
them till the election was over, and SO the
proofs were of no use at that time. They
were in time for Benny's next canvass,
however, and that mythical appendage of
Bennys, described by the Newark Daily
Advertiser as his " high character" did not
save him from being knocked out. The fact
is, the people hadn't discovered any rem
nant of Benny's high personal character :"
lying around within reach. 1t was SO awful
high as to be entirely out of sight,
