TIE recent decision in the matter
of the Churchill bond case, by winch
the state through mere technicalities
is made to lose about 100000, is
eliciting some bold, yet Just denun-
citation, because of the outrage, by
the press of the state. From the
high estimate placed upon his char
acter, as we'll as the supposed integ-
rity of his bondsmen, we had hoped
that Ex-Governor Churchill and his
securities would, at least, have had
the manliness to find out what was
actually due on this deficit, and as
manfully acknowledge it whether
able to pay it back or not. BY this
means the respect and esteem of the
people who put them in power,
would have been to some extent re-
tained. AS it is, the taking advant-
age Of a technicality, and under the
supposition that every man knows
the law, as starter, it would seem
that Churchill had entered into a
scheme to defraud the people, and
while doing so, protect his bonds
men. The Van Buren, Argus, an
ultra Democrat, in commenting on
this case, among other things, says:
"Whether Mr.. Churchill is a de-
faulter or not, is by legal techni-
cality shut off. Nothing could
have been more desirable th5n that
the question should have been fairly
and squarely met and answered.
To resort to a legal technicality is
no fault Of the attorneys in the case,
but how does it look to taxpayers
after a public official has been charg-
ed, and three investigations finds
him behind in his accounts? The
courts ought to have found-and
Mr.. Churchill ought to have insisted
upon the judicial finding of the
amount due 10 the state, if any such
amounts were due. AS it stands, a
mere legal fiction stands between
the laboring tax payers and the re-
covery of their money paid in for
public and common benefit. We
have no heart to abuse Republicans
guilty as they are, because of
their abuse OF public trust-whon
our own party resort to technicali-
ties to release themselves from the
penalty for the abuse Of equally inn
portant public trusts. No political
party can long hold power if subter-
fuges are tolerated. The people are
honest and right, and the people
give strength to parties. If parties
cannot control public or popular
opinion, their power is soon gone.
Parties are based on popular opin-
ion, and ii the officials of any party
propose to abuse the trust the people
have imposed upon them, the party
must soon 90 down and be driven
from power. This is the philosophy
of political party power. Can the
Democracy hope to escape the inev-
table consequences? Let no one
be so vain in his own conceit as to
suppose it any more possible for
democrats than for others. The re-
publican party has gone down under
the operations of the ineXorable
logic Of this philosophy. With the
result of the late election, can dem
ocrats be blind enough to suppose
that they can repeat the ofense and
not suffer the direful consequence"

WHEN a reasonable number of
men 90 on an official bond to secure
the state against loss, where is moral
honesty when the bondsmen refuse
to do what they agreed to do simply
because one of their number stealth
lily erased his name from the bond?
by such refusal they simply assist
in robbing the state instead of Sc
curing her against loss.- Benton

/ Lady Brassey Is the authoress of
work detailing the voyage of the sun
beam around the world, which has some
how obtained II most extraordinary popu-

OF 300, 600 copies. If any one had been
searching the hooks of Cowes for Il per-
son likely to answer to II preConccived
notion of q successful authoresS of Lady
Irassey's standing he would, / venture to
say, have completely failed to identify
that lady. OF all the loud, startling, cccen-
trio, vulgar-ycs, vulgar---costumcs the
fair sex nautical instincts are privileged
to don, Lady Brasscy's attire was the
acme--the extremity of excess. Imagine
a tall and rather masculine woman, with
Il complexion tanned and frccklcd to the
color of copper stOwpan. Clothc her in
frock of bright red. Shock the artistic
eye by loading the dress with yellow
trimmings, yellow gloves, and yellow
roses, and you at one discern that Lady
Brassey enjoys primary colors in rude
antagonSm. In that She somewhat re-
semblcS the Baroness Burdett Couts,
whose costumes suggest a rainbow on II

Lady Brasscy's chief garment however,
was of blue cloth, cut like an admiral's

with brass buttons. Such coat has never

TO attract observation, Lady Brassey is
followed by two black French poodlcs,
trimmed after the fashion of the
Parisians, and couple of spaniels
bring up the rear. Strange enough,
the two little Miss Brasseys,
nine and eleven years old, respectively,
were dressed Enthusiastically, but in
good taste. They wore short frocks of
white serge, cut II la pirate king, and
jackets, known here as Elton jackets,

however, were provided with the not Gus

hats had the word "Sunbcum" on the rib
