A HOPEFUL SIGN.

Alderman Jaehne, of the city of
New York, is lying in the Tombs
prison for accepting a bride and cor
ruption in Office. At one time his word
was a power in the Board and his Gin
fioonce" was very great among corrupt
classes. He had the encouraging
smiles Of preachers and prelates, for
he never forgot the contribution
box. Notwithstanding all these
facts, it is quite likely he
will soon be clothed in stripes as a
penalty to the laws he has vio-
lated, 1t is worthy Of careful note and
hopeful reflection, that many official
and private thieves are punished IN
the North. Ward and Fish and others
have been promptly punished and even
those, who Incorporated the money
of others are so afraid of punishment
they fies to Canada to escape it.
This is a hopeful sign, for it shows
that popular sentiment is growing
more exacting. IL is to be hoped that
it is extending even into the South,
and the hanging of Ford and Murphy
in New Orleans, and valuable
convictions in other localities indicate
that the people are beginning to APP
p~reciate the necessity Of Furnishing law
breakers, as the only sure method of
preserving society.
That the South has much room for
Improvement in this respect, we
frankly admit, but that the reform
movement can be made successful, we
are quite confident. A few convic-
tions Of brazen thieves, men who have
grown so insolent and shameless in
official theft, as not to appreciate the
enormity of their crimes, will be
worth millions to Southern progress,
A few penitentiary receptions
Of such cretures, will give the rising
generation Of young men examples
sorely needed. Something must be
done to prevent the people from taking
it for granted that if an official will
only steal a large enough sum. it is moi
only impossible to punish him, it IL
actually deprecated that be be called a
thief, branded as a scOundrel and said
to be 6t only to hold a reception among
convicts.

CURE FOE PILES.

Piles are frequently proceeded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part Of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some af-
lection Of the kidneys or n~eighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms Of
Indigestion are present, as tlatuIency,
~uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A
moisture, like persriration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get

Il is quite common with the press Of
this State and CT the South, in com
mentng on acts Of violence that occur
IN cur section, to refer TO the ~Impres-
slOns that these acts Of violence create
abroad, especially at the North They
seem to have q holy horror Of what
other people will have to say about
us, and lose sight of the grand idea
that the condemnation of laWlesness
and outrages is a duty that intelligent,
christian and humane people owe to
themselves and society Of which they
are a part.
Murder is terrible, no matter where
or how committed, and is limited in its
commitment to no special section. 1t
is committed, and foully committed in
all the sections Of these United States
and the world over; therefore, the CON
demnation Of any one section for muir
der and other crimes committed with
in its borders is unjust. The condem-
nation should be universal. No sec
ton should be arraigned as a Sec
ton, and its people be condemned
because Of murders and outrages in
that special section. Crime should be
condemned because it is crime, and
should not escape condemnation be.
cause, forsooth, the North or the Re-
publican party, or everybody else will
raise a howl over its preparation. 1t
matters very little what is thought or
said, but it matters much that there is
a cause for the thinking and the say
ing. We should avoid all occasions
for such, by creating a sentiment
and intoxicating the idea that the sin
is in the crime itself and not in what
people say about it.
If 1t turns out, when all the evidence
Is in and both sides Of the matter have
been fairly and dispassionately heard,
that the recent killing in Carroll
county was willful, outrageous muir
der, the press Of the State and of the
South and of the whole coun'
try should denounce it in i'm
measurable terms and should
demand that the law be indicated
and the offenders punished. But sin
should not be set down against a State
or a section, but should stand as a sin
against the laws Of God and Of man
everywhere.
All honest, fair-minded people will

mon with us, it is a part of the logic

THE NEW BOARD OF RAILROAD
COMMISSIONERS.

In a recent number Of the State
Ledger we learn that after the new
board of railroad commissioners bad
organized by electing Major J. Y.
Sessions, of Lincoln county, president,
"a general discussion of railroad tariffs
followed"
THE members" the Ledger says
"realize that they ara entrusted with a
peculiar charge"
That's just what the average citisen
and taxpayer knows +; it is indeed a
very peculiar charge.
Our Jackson contemporary con-
%tinues, "and are disposed to proceed
cautiously and avoid mistakes"
proceed cautiously and avoid mis-
takes p Well they may wish to pro-
coed in such a line so as to avoid an
other injunction and find themselves
"functus oficio," pro tenn, as the old
board found themselves for nearly
twenty months. But with all their
p%recaution they Immediately jumped
into an error, similar to that of their
predecessors; they elected clerk, when
the law makes no provision, al we
have before shown, for a clerk,
except IcontiDgently. They mag,
not shall, is the language of
law, conveying the idea that they
may employ q clerk should a necessity
arise for such employment. Would it
not have been well to have waited just
a little while to ascertain If there
would be a necessity for a clerk, for it
is not yet recorded that they will not
be and the chances are ten to one that
they will be, enjoined the moment they
undertake to put the provisions of the
law in operation? II we understand
the decisions Of the Supreme Courts,
and we believe we do, the constitu-
tionality of the law, as an enactment,
is all that has been decided and not the
constitutionality of the provisions of
the act. In truth the United States
Supreme Court intimates in its decision
that the provisions of the bill have not
yet been brought before it; only the
fact that the State through its Legisla-
ture had enacted the law, otherwise,
why the remark to the railroads that
"they had kicked before they were
spurred," and the advice to them "to
wait until the Commissioners had at
tempted to operate the law, and then
1t might be developed that there were
unconstitutional provisions in the
BILL"
Well, the new board must have a
clerk, and to crown their act the Senate
actually confirmed the selection Of
an officer unknown to the law, and
with which it had nothing to do. In
doing this the Senate has taken
from the creator. the Board Of

SHERMAN's INC0NsTSTENCY.

During the debate a few days ago,
in the United States Senate, Senator
Kenna produced a letter showing how
circumstances changed the views of
Senator Sherman on the right of the
Senate to demand papers and informa-
ton in regard to suspensions and re-
movals.
Mr.. Sherman being a Republican
and presiding over a Republican SEN
ate, and the demand for the papers
and information being upon
a Democratic administration, has
changed his ideas somewhat since he
was Secretary Of the Treasury, when
the call was made on a Republican ad.
ministration for papers and informa.
ton in regard to the suspension of
Chester A. Arthur, Collector Of the
Port of New York. The letter was
written to Hon. Roscoe Conkling,
Chairman Of the Senate Committee on
Commerce, and in 1t MI. Sherman took
ground exactly opposite to the position
he now maintains.
In commenting on that letter and
the present position of Mr.. Sherman.
the Post Dispatch says:
"Mr. Shermsn fatty refused to an.
swer the Senate Committees questions
because such answers would violate
the trust and confidence reposed in
him by the President. He fatty re.
fused to disclose to the Senate Com.
mittee the papers called for by Its chair
man in regard to the suspension Of
Arthur, and gave a his reason thai
they were "papers Of a confidential
character filed in the Department
He also plainly intimated that he con
sidered it a piece of presumptuous i'm
pertinence for the Senate to ask ques
tons about removals or suspensions
Questions totally immaterial to tn,
nominations submitted to the Senate,
and he proceeded to inform Mr.. Conk
ling that the power of the Senate t,
review or question the President
reasons for a suspension under tn
Tenure.of- ONCE Act had been re
pealed."
