They were, however, Immediately

the Court House by the militia in
answer to a writ Of habeas corpus,

was at perfect liberty to 60 or stay
as he chose. The vast majority
chose to leave.
They were accordingly escorted
to the steamer and those who
wished to stay were escorted to their
homes. Up to this time there has
been no bloodshed although the
streets are crowded. At noon, how
ever, an attack vas made on the
home guards by few hot heads.
The guards were finally ordered to
fire and responded with a volley.
Four men fell. One was killed and
three were wounded.
The militia formed hollow square
and held the mob at ba. for fully an
hour. The crowd then slowly melt.

Popular street from the river this
morning, separated in the middle,

jumped the track, but still kept on
in their downward course, crushing
into the houses which line tile

took the advantage of the sleighing
last Sunday and made visit to He'd
gesville. Mr.. w. reports favorable,
but Jimmie, oh my! He always did
say there was more pleasure in antici-
patton than reality, yet he was open
to conviction and if there was a time
when the latter exceeded the former,
he thought this was the occasion and
was happy to know that he had the
privilege to this pleasure, but the re-
suit confirms his former belief as
the sequel proves. For as he was wend-
ing his way, in company with his lass,

the horse) made turn SO quick as to
cause complete profile made in the
snow bank. Jimmie's gallantry be-
ing equal to the occasion, after holler-
ing no, no, to Champ few times, soon
brought him to stand still. No serious
damage was done, so the disarranged
apparrels were soon made right and
once more they were on their way re-

THE DIGNITY OF THE LAW SUS-
TANNED.

Woe to the deprayity OF human
nature that causes the record ofsuch
crimes, of which an instance has
been entered in our courts Ghis week.
1t is to be deprecated and abborred,
first for it's Nervousness, second for
its notoriety in the disturbance of
the peoce and usual good order, and
last but not least for the excitement
it creates of passion and prejudice,
and the trouble and cost it entails
upon a community.
One such evil is enough and most
deplorable, and while we record it
with regret and indignation, we are
glad that necessity does not compel
us to add the unlawful righting of a
terrible wrong. AT such times when
righteous revenge almost overcomes
better thought, there are always
those who are carried away more by
love of excitement and curiosity
than by the shock of outraged NOR
atty, and all that is then wanting is
the chance to follow in work that
would bring the law into disgrace,
the town to shame and the people to
years of after regret. At such
times, too, eXaggeration runs riot
and everything in its course is taken
for granted. The true facts under
sach conditions cannot prevail, nor
could there be shadow OF justice in
such proceedings. What good is
reflection when it comes too late.
Happily for all, better Judgment
prevailed. The law is grand and
mighty in its enforcement, more
powerful of good than all the rash
work of titful frenzy that has ever
sullied the fair name of humanity.
The provisions Of the law cover the
crime to death itself. The records
of our Courts have been so fairly
and severely enforced that there is
no ground for the remotest suspi-
cion of miscarriage of Justice
We lend willing testimony to that,
and give Judge Faulkner great
credit for the firm stand taken in
holding the Sheriff responsible for
the maintenance OF the peace and
the protection of the prisoner at all
hazards. We have no fear for the
rest. A fair trial the laws of the
peoples own making guarantee to
every man under all circumstances.
What a blessing when it is so, and
none can complain. Every man is
innocent until proved guilty and
adjudged so by a jury ofhis country.
We dread the law so carried out,
while We revolt against the brute
force of numbers that would tear it's
victim to pieces like the lion it's
prey. The human law is based on
the divine. God does not punish us
by the might of His arm, but by the
power of His merciful justice. Why
should mortal man presume any
farther. Left to the strong arm of
the law, the man found guilty of
the crime we have given an account
Of elsewhere, will suffer the penalty.
1t behooves us weak mortals to i'm
plore rather mercy above than ven
geance below, and for ourselves
grace to keep us from all evil.

The Statesman charges that THE
HERALD has entered upon a bitter
crusade against Hon. w. L. Wilson.
Why such Il statement is made we
are unable to comprehend. That we
did say Mr.. Wilson is unfit to repre-
sent this District is true. Is this a
crusader A correspondent showed
through our columns that this gen.
tlcman has done nothing for this
district since he has been member
of Congress. Is this a crusade ?
If the Statesman can show one thing
Mr.. Wilson has done let it be pro-
duced. Calling names is no answer
to our assertions. We challenge
the Statesman to name one thing we
said against Mr.. Wilson that is not
true. Come to time or acknowledge
you are mistaken.
