A Poor Opinion of the Law.

Bill Chandler is of opinion that w.
ney General Garland is i'll acquainx
the law, and u sssa aaaoid o.
William declares that any Dlnfn can
see that Mr.. Roach had nothing to do with
the law of Congress authorizing the build
ing of the Dolphin, when he was required
to build her according to the plans of the
naval advisory board and the orders of the
secretary of the navy. Mr.. Chandler is
profoundly convinced that these two all-
thoritieS offer Mr.. Roach a perfect shield
against the fact that the Dolphin is not the
sort of boat that Congress ordered to he
built. The difference between ATTORNEY
General Garland and the eX-secretary of
the navy, whose board planned the Dolphin.
is simply as to whether the government
can be compelled to pay for fourteen knot
ship when Congress only authorized a Gf-
teen-knot ship to be built The attorney
general says that Us their was no authority
given to build anything less than fifteen
knot vessel nothing less can be paid for.
Mr.. Chandler says that is nonsense: that
the builder cannot lose his money because

Truly it is hard upon Roach that he suf
fers for the sins of the ship architects, if he
had nothing to do with the plan. But il is
to be remembered that many good men get
into very bad holes by not minding what
they are about. If it is good law, as the
attorney general declares, that We are not
liable to pay for Il vessel that does not come
up to the standard required by the law
which authorized its construction, then
Mr.. Roach needed TO keep his eye on the
law and understand that he must meet
its requirements and that he could not
build boat on anybody order that would
fail to do it.
Mr.. Roach erred in not watching the
plans of the naval advisory board and Ie-
quiring them TO be made so as to meet the
law of Congress. Mr.. Roach doubtless
profited by the laXness of the naval adyi.

Am Indiana sheriff. who had iH ms jail
and in hi, charg" a man accused @! a
very srrous ulrpnsc. was raidrd the other
night hv a mob, determined Ia smn'mIIy
execute what they called justice hy Iync!l-
ing the prisoner.
The sheriff seems to have been Il man
who had some conception of his duty, and
some regard for the law which lac was
elected and sworn 10 administer. lu-
stead of tamcly yielding to the demands
oC the mob, and making himself an
accessory to its lawIcssncss. he put
a secure gua:r' oyer the prisoner and, after
warning off the asSaIIanls, rrmIscd their
assault with vOllry that killed one of the
maraudrrs. wounded several others and
for the time at least yiudicatcd the strength
Of the law.
This commendablc attitude is in comspi-
cuous contrast with the craven cowardice
and weak submission Of 50 many shcrilts
and jaiIcrs in different parts of the coun-
try. who have been letting mohS take thcir
prisoners away from them and hang
them without law or ceremony.
The mobs who do this and the public
officers who permit it to be done. without
eXhauSting every possible means of resist
ancc. do not seem to realize what encour
agement they give to hwIessness and
crime. In fact doing the right thing
the wrong way is responsible for a vast
deal of evil in ourpublic affairs and any
thing that tends to it should I've rcprcSscd

Miss CLEVELAND'S advent into literature
has uneaTthod an alarming number of fools
and sharpcrS who are trying to travel into
reputation or fortune by clinging to the skirts
of her dress. The sharpcrs are republishing
old essays of Miss Cleveland as of the pres
ent date, while the fools are trying to con-
meet her opinions on temperance and other
public questions with that of her distin-
guished brother The latter have also en-
deavOred TO convict Miss Cleveland of pla-
giarsm. Since the publication of the recent
letter of Miss Cleveland read before the agri-
cultural convention on the subject of silk
culture in the United States, and suggesting
it rs means of employment for women,
some antiquarian has dug out a letter of
James Logan, secretary of the province of
Pennsylvania, written one hundred and
sixty years ago expressing very similar
views. OF course, Miss Cleveland had access
to this work! The fool-killer should not re-
lax his labOrs, even though the mercury
has of late been doing some tall climbing.

MRS. Abba Goold WooIsou.

Mrs. Abba Goold Woolson, has lately been
giving course of lectures in Concord, N. H.,
upon the Historical Plays of Shakespeare Z"
The Concord Monitor of the 23d inst. says that
her lecture on King Henry VIII held the
closest attention of the large audience for more
than an hour and half, while she narrated
the interesting events that are connected with
this play, and anayed its several acts and
portrayed its leading characters AT the cl ose
of the lecture Hon. e. II. Rollins read series
of resolutions, which were handed to him bv
Hon. Oliver Piilsbury, who was unable to be
present, and they were unanimously adopted
by rising vote. The audience then repaired
to the chapel parlor for social half hour with
Mrs. Woolson.
In connection with these Lectures we copy
the following notice of them which appeared
in the Manchester Mirror OF the 10Th inst.
under the head of "Mrs. Abba Goold Wool :
sons Lectures"
Concord has been greatly favored this winter in
having the privilege of listening to Mrs. Abba Gocld
Wools0n, who is giving series of eight lectures on
the Historical Plays of Shakespeare. Mrs. Wool
son has previously given this and other courses
with great success in Boston, Bangor, Newport,
New York and Washington. During the last year
while abroad, she viewed every scene connected
with these Great English dramas, making excur-
sions to many places hitherto unknown to Ameri-
cans. her lectures are notable not only for their
charming style and delivery (she never uses notes
but for her treatment of the subject She does not
coh1ne nerselI 70 criuclsms OF the play which has
been SO thoroughly done by commentators that but
little new can be said she considers rather the real
history OF the times, and the way in which SHAKES
peare adapted it to the requirements of dramatic
art. From the time of King John to the end of
Henry VIII. is rich period in Engish history. To
person unfamiliar with it these lectures would
convey more information than could be gained in
any other way, while the student of Shakespeare
would hear just the information which he had been
unable to find elsewhere. 1t is pleasant to know
that these lectures, fine result of years of study
are thoroughly appreciated in Mrs. Woolson's home
and that they have attracted the most elegant and
cultured people in Concord.

OTr9 REPORTS.
Chief Engineer's Report.

The Chief Engineer of the Fire Department
has filed his annual report in the office OF the
CITY Clerk. There have been more fires the
past year than in any year since 1866, but the
average loss for each fire is less than in previ-
GUS years. Three men and two children lost
their lives by fire the past year, the men being
burned on the steamer Falmouth and the 9TH
ers the Pancoast children on quebec street.
There were 100 alarms of fire last year, 1nclud-
ing telephone, still and bell alarms. The fire
boat did service at one fire, that on the steam
er Falmouth. -Four new horses were purchas-
ed last year. The department nov numbers
129 men and officers. The current expeD ses OF
the department for the past year were SlS,-
1853 .76. Salaries amounted to SIS 9S9, and wa
ter and bydrants S5.7l9 %, making the total
cost of the department 42,o2l.9S.
Gas Agents Report.
The amount Of gas sold in 1884 was 81, ,907, :
900 cubic feet, an increase OF 3653,OOO cubic
feet.
The gross cash receipts for the year 1884 were
$i26, ,02s.7I-- The gross expenditures includ-
ing only the two regular DIVIDENDS Sll4, ,45O.-
%. These facts indicate that the introduction
of electric lights on part of our streets has not
affected injuriously the earnings Of the CON-
pany.
On account of the introduction of electricity
it was expected that large number of gas
lights might be extinguished, but it was found
that only twenty.sx could be discontinued as
lights were required on the corners of all in
tefsecting streets and alleys where there was
no Electric light. On April LIST, there we're
468 street gas lamps. On July 1st, AL, and al
though 10 additional electric lights were add
ed Ia December lighting Congress street from
Grove to North streets and Middle street its
length, the number of gas lights January 1st,
1885, was 433
By order of the City Council, the gas lights
are not extinguished at four O'Clock, but at
DAYLIGHT.
