An Upright Judge.

An upright and impartial Judge, where
any political issue whatever is involved is
so rare bird on the earth that when one
appears, he should he greeted with every
reverence and applause. When this up
right Judge is Democrat, put in Office by
Bourbon partisans and usurpers, his appear
auce is little short Of a miracle, which at
once overwhelms us with astonishment and
arouses us TO loud thanksgiving.
Such Judge is Judge Hancock, Of Vlr-
ginia whose recent Judgment at Peters
burg in the local election cases shows how
the judicial function should be, and can be,
held high above partisan considerations,
feelings, and influences, and exercised
nobly in behalf of truth aud right against
all the powers of wrong and falsehood. 1t
was but few months ago that the Bour-
bon usurpatlon at Richmond invested
Judge Hancock with the sacred trust he
guards and executes, but already he has
worthily illustrated the most exalted at
tributes that should attach TO his office,
and vindica.ed It from the reproach which
It's too frequent prostitution in unhallowed
hands has SC. shamefully exposed 1t. 1t is
his conspicuous and extraordinary merit,
in this age Of corruption, that he is pure
and brave enough, not only TO do justice
though the skies fall, but to do II though
hlssown party fall and curse him as It fall.
In the Petersburg election cases Judge
Hancock decided against his party. Though
Democrat he condemned Democratic
wrong and recognized Republican right
not because this was Republican aud that
| Democratic, but IN despite of these most
potent considerations. With his co.opera
tion, or even with his failure to act at all
Democratic fraud would have wrested tht
rule OF the city Of Petersburg from III.
people; yet he chose the better part o.
duty, and, crushing fraud, he upheld the
will and power Of the people to keep Pc
tersburg under Republican rule as long a.
II chooses TO do so. And the very mel
who elected him now curse him, and say
Gle is nothing but - Baptist exhorter.
Men and brethren II this be true, II
heavens name let US have more OF thes,
e. Baptist exhorters," who know how
to maintain popular government and Il
put down usurpation while they "exhort ;
us all to respect the truth so ably put fortl
in the opinion with which Judge Hancocl
fortified his decision.
Said he: "The right to vote is the mos
sacred right guaranteed to a citizen by tn
constitution and laws of our state. In thi
country the will OF the people is the su
preme law of the land. This will of tn
people can only be expressed by election
fairly and properly conducted" Not onl

Senator Hearst and His Critics.

EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: The New
York Sun and the New York World seem
TO be sorely exercised over the remarks
made by Senator Hearst on the Senate's reso.
luton expressive ofsorrow at the death of the
late Senator John f. Miller. In paying his
cessor, Senator Hearst ventured to express the
opinion that his career was as praiseworthy in
civil life as II had been renowned on the battle
ticld and instanced one fact that ho had been
instrumental by his able and honest mlnage-
ment In saving 100000 of the earnings of the
Indians of Alaska, which he might easily have
appropriated TO his own use
Eow, what there is in such statement 20
call forth the supercilous sneers and lofty anigl
adycfsion of the above;mentioned best POS.
sible instructors" 1t Is difficult to see. Wot IA
those papers wish their readers to believe that
1t would be more to his credit TO have put the
money into his own pocket That would Ger.
tainly be more In accordance with our usual
shameless and time.honored treatment of 1.-The
wards of the nalion," Notwithstanding our
hoasted justice aud humanity and civilization!
But Senator Miller did not deiraud them, and
another senator's statement to that effect Is
ridiculed us somewhat of reflection on the
memory of the deceased, and in derogation of
established precedent. The writer's referred to
seem to have the Impression that only bad
men can be allowed 10 claim credit for
tho evil they might have done, but did not do
that Cntiline's memory Is TO be venerated for
his not having slaughtered the Roman senate
and laid Rome in ashes, as well as that of
Cicero for having saved them, or that Claudius
was entitled to have his brow encircled with
garland for his magnanimity and clemenGy
when he might have nssaSsinated MILO but
spared him. This seems to be the system OF
ethics admired by the writers in question,
whose moral grandeur and exalted sentiments
compel them to regard forbearance in such
circumstances as a ptiable weakness, II not Il
wrong. They are Of those who pretend to think
that an Indian has no rights which white man Is
bound to respect and that only dead Indian
is n good one. But Gen Miller and his eulo-
gist do not seem to be of that opinion, but 10
be influenced by a higher code OF human ac-
tion. "BlesSed is the man that could have
trdnsgressed and hath not transgressed, and
could have done evil things and hath not done
them. Who is he, and we will praise him, for
he hath done marvellous things In his life"
The Sun and the World do not seem to agree
with Holy Writ that such man should be
praised. In the eyes Of these Immaculate and
incoruptible journals, such man has not
done wonderful things at all. Their wonder,
doubtless, Is that every man does not take ad-
vantage of his opportunities TO put money in
his pocket regardless of the means. But
whether they entertain this opinion or not,
their structures on the panegyric of Senator
Hearst over his deceased friend were in eX
ceedingly bad taste. unjust and undescrved.
FAIRNESS.

PUSHING TIE GAS INQUIRY.



Lobbyists.
Messrs. spooner and Blackburn, sub
committee Of the Senate District commit
tee held the last open session last Satur-
day in connection with the inquiry being
made by them in regard to the price charged
for gas In the District by the Washington
Gas Light Company. In response to the
inquiries Mr.. Mcllhenny stated that Mr..
Bartol, former president, once owned 1000
shares of stock, which had been reduced to
500, his present holding.
Mr.. Spooner said the statements fur
nished him by the company show that the
aggregate dividends paid by the company
amounted to $0,20l ,Sl2, and he wanted TO
know how much Of that was paid prior TO
1866, and how much since.
Mr.. Mcllhenny said he would submit the
best statement possible, and would en-
deavor to have II ready to-day.
Mr.. w. G. Dodge submitted a statement
to show that the average yield Of gas was
Hill feet per ton OF coal. lie also sub.
mitted an exhibit Of his gas bills for the
past ten years for the purpose Of showing
that as the price Of gas had diminished the
amount Of the bill increased.
Mr.. Van Wyck wanted to know l. the
company did not pay out money for "lob-
byist."
Mr. McIlhenny replied that he under
stood that $1,000 was so paid.
Mr.. Van Wyck wanted to know what
that expenditure was charged to, but the
gas president did not know. lie was or
dered to include In the written statement
to be furnished showing as to the payment
OF that 5000.
Mr.. Blackburn called Mr.. McIlhenny's
attention to a sworn statement Of Mr.. Bar
tol, president Of the company in 1881, to
the effect that the company had then q
surplus OF about $3.50, 900 which It had
accumulated for the purpose Of enlarging
and improving the works that It might re-
duce the price Of gas. lie wanted 10 know
II the fund was used for that purpose.
Mr.. McIlhenny said II was not; that In 1888
that surplus was distributed among the
stockholders.
II was announced that no more public
meetings Of the committee would be held
but written statements would be received
until tomorrow,

court last Saturday to complete the record
In their case. Special Prosecuting Attorney
II. Ross Perry asked for the passing of SEN
tence, and Justice Macarthur sentenced
each to the Albany penitentiary for period
Of five years.
Gen. Mussey asked for a suspension of
the execution of the sentence until the case
could be heard in general term.
Judge Macarthur said that on q consul
tation with the judges now In the general
term he learned that they could not hear
the cases before the adjournment for the
summer recess. He would therefore defer
the execution Of the sentence till after the
close Of the next general term.
Every effort Will be made, however, TO
secure the hearing within the next fort
