SPEEDY JUSTICE.

1t is so rare an incident to find justice so
speedily administered by the courts as was
in the HewARD-CooPER case in Baltimore
we feel inclined to make commendatory
mention of the fact and to congratulate the
people of Maryland upon possessing AUDI
cial system that is a credit to the state. A
little over month ago COOPER, a big burly
negro. committed criminal assault upon
Miss KATIE GRAY, young white lady llv-
ing in the suburbs of Baltimore. 1t was a
most shocking crime, perpetrated in open
daylight, about the middle of the afternoon,
as the young lady was returning from the
railway station to her home half mile dis
tant. Miss GRAY'S screams attracted the
attention of he; faithful dog, ''BancO," who
was stunning himself OH the porch OF her
fathers cottage, and, bounding off i'll the
direction of where he heard the cries of his
Young mistress, ''Banco" arrived upon the
scene in time to save her life and brighten
away the villain. Although but little over
a month has elapsed since the oc-
currence the criminal has been hunted
down, captured, indicted, tried and con-
victed, and is to be hung. 1t is one of the
most speedy executions of justice on rec
ord. That the wretch deserved lynching is
beyond controversy, but the prompt vindi-
cation of the law, and'of the worthy young
lady and her respected family, by Balti-
more jury, is vastly more ereditable to the
state Of Maryland than if he had been
mobbed. The prisoner was well and care
fully defended in all his rights during the
trial, but the young lady,. who had the
courage to resist to the death his assaults
upon her person, also had the courage to
come into court and undergo the painful or
deal of recital of her wrongs, and her
story made such an impression upon the
jury that it returned a verdict of guilty
without leaving its box. Subsequently
the prisoner confessed to the truthfulneSs
of all of Miss GRAY's statements. For
prompt vindication OF the law and swift ex-
ecution of justice it must be conceded that
maryland, My Maryland" deserves the
palm"

Private letters from Posen and Silecia
describe the present expulsion by Germany,
at The request of Russian Poles, from those
provinces as being attended by the most
cruel and heartrending incidents. Many
OF the POLES, who are now being driven
out, have been settlers iu German
territory for many years and had thoroughly
ldentlned themselves with the local inter-
ests. Most OF them went to Posen and
S1lecia to escape from the intOlerable
despotism at home. The DEGREES of expul-
sion, issued by Herr Won Puttkamer, Ger
man minister OF the interior, affected about
thirty thousand Poles, resident in Germany.
Eight thousand of these have already been
arrested without warning and conducted to
the German frontier by Prussian troops.
The remainder Of the 10000 ordered out of
the empire consist of those who had
obtained permits of settlement. The decree
of expulsion gives these short respite, in
order to allow them time to settle up their
affairs, dispose of their property, and other
wise prepare for extraditiOn. Whole vii
lagos have been depopulated, and their
refugee inhabitants turned over to the Rus
sian authorities at the German frontier.
Numbers of the poor Poles are fleeing into
Austria, to escaped the enforced return to
the land of their birth. The news of all
this cruelty has cast the chill of despair
throughout the Russian-P Poland. 1t is all
interpreted by Viennese as fresh evil
dence of the binding nature of the present
connection between Germany and Russia,
and of their united policy to entirely sup
press the Polish nationality.
THE DEAD POET.
PARIS, May 90. = President Grevy has
sent to M. LockrOy, son-in-law 'of Victor
Hugo, letter of coincidence. NJ. Olin
large, minister of the interior, has author
lied the friends of Victor Hugo to allow
the poets remains to lie in state for three
days in Arc de Triomphe. The body will
be conveyed thither tomorrow and placed
on catafalque. M. Hugo be-
queathed $4,000 to the poor. He
left request that his body should
be conveyed to the grave in ''pauper
hearse" without any religious rites. In the
document containing this request Hugo af-
firms his belief in God. A fund for ma
tional monument for the dead poet has al
ready been opened.

WASHINGTON, May 23.-'T have one or
the most peculiar postoffice contests in my
district you ever heard Of said Congress-
man Ward of Indiana to a GLOBE repre-
sentative tonight. ''I'll bet there is not
another one like it in the United States"
''What is the nature of it?" he was

can incumbent, and all of the Republicans

that the appointee will be a Democrat if
MI. Ward can control it, and it is good
opportunity for dark horse to enter the
field for the prize.

REGINA, May 23. The train conveying
Riel, the captured rebel chief, arrived here
at 11:SO to-day, with Capt. G. H. Young OF
the Winnipeg field battery in charge. Riel
was at once taken to the barracks. From
the time of Riel's capture tooh all hour
ago he was under the control Of Capt.
Young and was by him brought from
Gnardupuys Crossing to Saskatoon on the
steamer Northcote and thence by teams 154
miles in two and half days. The trip
was a very rapid one but was made with
out Incident. The escort consisted of nine
men of the Ninetieth battalion and seven
men of the Midland. The original desti-
nation was Winnipeg, but orders by tele-
gram met Capt. Young at Moose Jaw to
hand his prisoners over to the police
authorities at Regina and await orders. He
was consequently placed, in the barracks
here. Riel is well, but showed solhe ner-
vOusness at being handed over to the police.

NAsHv1LE's GREAT REVIVAL.

NASHVILLE'S GREAT REVIVAL.
An abrupt, uncultured preacher is MAX
ing new map for the social and religious
life of Nashville. Tenn. He is known as
the Rev. SAM JONES, and must be very
earnest man from the great religious re-
vival which lie has stirred up within that
city lie has been preaching for over two
weeks and stirred up wonderful state of
feeling not only among emotional people
but has set the business men to thinking
and praying. The people of the whole city
are given over to the consideration of the
moncnious question, what shall they do to
be saved The Nashville Union says:
This strange preacher wicked into our city
and attacked the vices and immoralities of
social life and the evil practices of church
memhers like a frontierslnan would fight a
fire that threatened his fences and barns. He
spares nobody; he paliiates nothing because
respectable people do it. Social amenities
ana q growing friendship between the church
and people with doubtful practices are held
up and exposed It's the DEVILS handiwork. In
less than one week he has brought all the
churches together and for the time at least,
made the preachers forget their creeds; he
has made bankers and merchants and lawyers
and doctors talk religion; the infidels and
atheists have retired. He has SO impressed
the value OF Il good life on the community
that the moral tone OF public sentiment and
business life has been stimulated.
A tabernacle tent has been pitched In the
heart of the city which day and night is
crowded to overlooking BY crowds anxious
to listen to the foicible sermons of the un-
letteied evangelist. 1t is said that nothing
similar to the scenes enacted there have
been witnessed since PETER preached his
famous sermon at Jerusalem on the day of
PentecOSt.

WASHINGTON, May 25.-The president
takes ON himself more work than any one
master general said, the other day, that the
postoffice appointment. He has taken upon
himself the burden of this enormous work,
so as to be sure in his own mind that he has
found the best possible man. 1t is pretty
evident that he has undertaken more than
he can accomplish, as it is beyond the ply
steal capacity of any one man to supervise
the details of the federal department. He
shows no signs, however, of changing his
policy. He is quoted as saying that he ex-
poets to be in his office up to the very last
hour of the final day of his term passing
upon the merits of appointments.
