THE trial of Jacob Sharp for bribery
will remain one of the celebrated cases
of the country. After holly contested
legal battle verdict of guilty was re-
turned by the jury for the bribery of
New York aldermen of the board
of 1880 to secure the passage
of the Broadway surface railway fran
chise. The turning of states evidence
by ex-Alderman Jaehne and the con-
viction of Alderman Cleary and others
turned the tide against the venerable
defendant, who had defied the law I'M
der the impression the that there was
no punishment for bribery. The able
prosecution of District Attorney Mar
time before Judge Barrett and a jury
and the stubborn defense made by
Sharp attached extra prominence to the
trial. Sentence was deferred, through
the efforts to obtain new trial, until
July IA, 1887, when Jacob Sharp, &C
companied by his wife and son-in-law,
appeared before Judge Barrett. He
was sentenced to four years in the PEN
itentiary at hard labor and a fine of
S., OOO-the maximum punishment al
lowed by law for the crime of bribery
in New York. Sharp was taken to
Sing Sing, from where he was recently
released through the strenuous efforts
| of his counsel, Mr.. Bourke Cochran,
who secured from the court of appeals
an order for new trial.

NOT SUCH sNoBS.

From an article signed GA. B." which
appeared in the afternoon paper, we
make the following extract:
About two months ago the Imperial
Government appointed Sir Henry Blake as
Governor of Queensland: and Sir Thomas
McIlwraith, the Premier of that colony,
objected to the appointment with the con-
currence of his colleagues. The text of the
objections has not been published, but the
appointment of Sir Henry Blake was I'M
mediately cancelled. The Australians
have as much generation for lord as have
the most lingo" Englishmen; and when
that Sir Henry Blake was formerly a
Diapers assistant in Dublin, Ireland, the
lingo" bile rose upon their stOmachS. 1t
would never do, they thought, that a
diapers assistant should govern so i'm
portant commonwealth as Queensland,
and hence the protest of their Premier.
The writer of the above appears to
have a very poor opinion of the good
sense of the Queensland people, as we'll
as peculiar ideas of the considerations
which control such matters under the
British Colonial system. F'The text of
the objections" we are told, "has not
been published" and then this writer
proceeds to give his own explanation,
which makes out the Queenslanders to be
lot of ridiculous snobs. The men of
the British Colonies are conspicuously
independent and free spirited. Most of
their public men have carved out their
own careers, and risen in the world by
their own energy and talents, and not
by means of aristocratic birth or other
adventitious circumstance. That such
men should consider the possession of
''blue blood" to be a more essential
qualification for a governor than did the
authorities at home is an assumption too
improbable to be accepted. That they
should kick, and officially protest against
the appointment of Sir Henry Blake, for
no better reason than his having risen
from humble station in life, is simply
incredible. Even if the full text of the
objections has not been published, the
information already before the public
shows that the action of the Queensland
people, SO far from being due to an out
break of lingo bile, was the manifesto
ton OF disposition to have some regard
paid to their wishes IN the selection of
those who were to be set over them. It
is not the appointment of a governor
who has risen from humble life to which
they object, but to the making of such
appointments by the Home Government
as a matter of personal favoritism, or
because the appointee needed the salary,
or from some other personal considera-
ton, regardless of any special qualifica-
tons, or of the interests and feelings of
the colonists. The Australians may
have an immense veneration for lord,
though we are inclined to doubt it, but
such feeling is not likely to obscure their
application of their own rights, or of
what they regard as due them from the
mother country.
