ONE THING THEY OUGHT oDo.

When the railroad troubles began in
the West last spring, the knights of
Labor had, in large measure, the
sympathy of people outside of that or
ganization, and, TO considerable ex.
tent, their confidence. At the end of
the contest they had almost wholly lost
public confidence and sympathy. This
change in popular feeling resulted
from acts which were unnecessary to
accomplish the purposes which the
Knights professed to have in view. 1t
was not needful for their success that
passenger trains should be thrown from
the track, and the lives imperilled of
those who had no part in the quarrel,
nor was 1t necessary to set fire to
house in which the wife and children
OF an offending engineer were sleeping.
1t Is thus that they forfeited sympathy
and aroused Indignation.
1t is true that the knights disclaim
having authorized the preparation of
such deeds, but it is equally true that
they took no effective means for their
prevention. All that Mr.. Powderly
could or would say, when appealed to,
was in substance: "If you will point
out the men who have done these
things we will expel them from the
order" People outside the order
thought something more was needed
than such a mild expression of Gisap-
proval. They regarded with appre-
hension the operations of an army
which was virtually Confessed to be
beyond the control of its leaders, an |
which had adopted the worst methods
known to guerrilla warfare, and it be-
came the common belief that acts such
as have been quoted were winked at
by those in authority, and their per-
petrators aided TO escape. punishment.
The congress of Knights at Rich
mond must make some declaration on
this subject, and in such positive terms
as to command public belief in its sin
cerity. Such action is necessary, both
from considerations of justice and of
policy. The knights of Labor can
never accomplish their aims without
the sympathy and moral support of II
large class which is and will continue
10 be non-members of the order,
Public opinion is even more power,
fnl than law, and it must array itself Ia
opposition to any cause which resorts
to train wrecking, with all It's horrors,
as means to enforce Its demands.
The Richmond Convention must go
beyond tame promise to expel Knights
after they have been proved guilty of
crime in a court Of law. 1t must give
assurances that the order will cooper.
ate with the legal authorities, and that
IL will assist In the detection and punish.

acts abhorrent to civilization, In this
matter nothing less than pledge radl-

IT is not at all probable that Henry
George will he elected Mayor of New
York, but he is unquestionably worry
ing the politicians. They need some.
thing of the kind to stir them up to the
importance OF abandoning their fac-
tious quarrels and uniting upon a
ticket which all good citizens can In
dorse. If Mr. George succeeds in do
ing this, his candidacy may prove a
blessing in disguise.

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER ., 1856.
THE PENALTY OF DEFAULT.

The case of William Il. Gould, the
defaulting cashier of the First National
Bank OF Portland, Maine, has been
disposed of with unusual and com.
mendable dispatch. II was only about
Ten days ago that Gould was arrested,
and yesterday the unfortunate man
was sentenced to ten years imprisol
ment in the States prison at Thomal
ton. To Mr.. Gould himself, however,
must be given due credit for having
contributed to the energetic course of
Justice in this case by entering
prompt plea of guilty to each of the
several indie tnenis and throwing him
self upon the mercy of the court.
1t is q melancholy downfall, and the
sentence is a severe one. The court
was only moderately merciful. Yet,
for man who had enjoyed the conf.
dence of his felow.ciiizens so many
years and been reputed worthy of i'm.
portant trusts, only to betray them at
last, the punishment is none too harsh
We have no doubt that the defaultcr
would gladly make reparation for the
losses which are chargeable to his
dishonesty, but that is out of the ques.
tion.
The only redress possible is that which
ly compulsion of the Law he renders
the State. He cannot restore the money
of others that he has spirited away; he
cannot rehabilitate the good name which
he has disgraced; but there is that in the
measure of his retribution which it is
TO be hoped will have an exemplary
effect in deterring others from entering
npon the same pathway of ruin. This
was undoubtedly the view of the court.
As between clemency to the prisoner,
even though frankly confessing his
own guilt and the protection which
society demands against species of
Criminalty far too common, the latter
was the weightier consideration, as 1t
should have been.
But better convict than fugitive
upon the face of the EARTH better in n
felons cell at Thomaston than a
branded exile at Montreal Better the
plight of Gould than the plight of
Bartholomew. 1t is the redeeming
feature Of Goulds case that he made
no effort to flee the country, but man
fully faced his punishment. 1t may
tend to his peace of mind to feel that
when all else was lost he hal himself
to offer as an expiatory sacrifice upon
ha a1t pf ,;n1a Ia I,
certainly tend to greater sense of
security on the part OF the community
TO know that the ends of justice have
not been forsworn or evaded and that
betrayals of financial trusts will become
less fashionable and frequent, the more
il is found they cannot be committed
with impuni,y.

tion called upon the President for
list Of all appointments to positions in
the Departments under the civil serv-
ice law. The object in asking for the
list is ITO see how near proper bal
ance has been established between
Democratic and Republican office hold
ers. The President gave Mr.. Dana,
not Colonel Charles A. Dana, by the
way, authority to call for the figures in
the various Departments. So far Mr..
Dana finds that in the Postoillco De
partment the offices appear to be
evenly divided between Republicans
and Democrats In the Department
of Justice some sixty per cent. of the
unclasslfed employees are Democrats,
while in all other departments the pro.
portion of Democrats is something less
than one.half, In one Department that
proportion being not more than ten per
cent. All of which may tickle the
civil service roformers a good deal, but
the rank and file Of the Democratic
party will not be apt to split their sides

was greatly respected by white and
black in Grant and Rapides par
ishes, died this week. He was the
pastor of Loyal Hill Baptist church
on bayou Rapides, which had over
three hundred members. His abil-
ity was far superior to the average
colored preacher, as was also his
morals and character. For two or
three years he has been totally de-
prived of sight, but has continued
to preach. With large number
of whites he was a great favorite,
and many of them testified their
respect for him by following his
remains to the grave.
