HypOCriteS All.

A certain Republican journal re- bukes the New York World fol what it terms it's "sneers at the pie, ty" of John Wannamaker, Elliott F Shepard, and other leaders ot the Republican party, who parade their virtues and sanctimonious hy- pocrisy from the house-tops, as a cloak for corrupt political chican- cry. The World scores these hyp- ocrites in the following language:
 "The founder of the Christian re- ligion did something more than sheer at the Pharisees of his time. He drove the money-changers from the temple with scourge, and pro- nounced a woe upon the Scribes and Pharisees, "lovers of money" who "cleanse the outside of the cup and the platter" while their inward part is full of extortion and wick edness."
 The World holds every mans re- ligious belief in respect. But when a man who makes a parade of his religion admits that he raised an enormous campaign fund for a mo- torious corruptionist and turned it over to him, mot wanting to know" how it was used so long as it pro- noted the success of his party, The World holds that he is a greater enemy of society and of the state than is man who makes no pro- fessions of virtue. He obtains mon ey for corrupt uses which a noto- riously bad man could not secure.
 In thus making a cloak of his professcd piety plutocratic Phar- isee not only brings reproach upon religion but becomes an enemy of the Republic. As such The World will continue to expose and de- nounce all of his class, of whatever party or creed.

Justice for the Black Men.

Governor Richardson of South Carolina, says the late telegrams, has granted full and free pardon to William c. Williams and Harri- son Haywood, two negroes who were convicted of murder in the Pickens County Court and sentenc- ed to be hanged for the lynchiny of a white man named Waldrop, who had committed an assault upon a thirteen-year-o colored girl, from the effect of which she died.
 In the exercise of executive elem ency in this case Governor Rich ardson says that he was influenced because of his desire to do full jus tice to the colored people. This was the first time any one had been convicted in South Carolina for lynching, and it was also the first time that negroes had lynched any one, and he would not have them made an example of when white men had not been punished for like offences. If these two men had been whites, he says he would have

THE Board of Supervisors met in special session on the 27th ult., pur. suant to Sec. 4 of an "Act to regu- late laful fences and trespass with in the same," and established fence district No. 1, which includes the county of Apache. The following section gives the particulars of what Is deemed lawful fence un- der this act:
 Section 1. Every enclosure shall be deemed under a lawful fence when the said fence is constructed as follows : All fences not less than ffty-four inches high, consisting of boards firmly fastened to posts we'll set not more than nine feet apart, the space between the ground and bottom board and each space be- tween the boards, not more than eight inches, shall be considered lawful and sufficient fence, and all fences flty-four inches high con sisting of four barbed wires firmly fastened to posts well set, not more than thirty feet apart, with good stays extending from the top wire to the ground, placed every eight feet between the posts, each wire being firmly fastened to such stays, the bottom wire being placed not less than eighteen inches from the ground and the other three wires about equi-distant apart from the bottom wire to the top of the fence, shall be deemed a legal and suffi- cient fence. When barbed wire is used for a fence, board or pole may be used in place of the top wire, when properly and securely fastened anc staved and all fences consisting. of rails, timbers, hedge, stone walls, brush, adobe, or other which shall be equivalent to the board or barbed wire fence herein described shall be deemed a legal and sufficient fence.

When we succeed in electing a
 President who rises to broad views
 of civil-service reform, we shall find
 him informing members of Con- gross that he shall not call on them
 for any recommendations to of flee, and he shall treat their recom- mendations just as he will others that is, hold them subject to in quiry; ard a President who will take this ground will place the law maker under greater obligations to him than any President does who lets the lawmakers ladle out the pap. No man with an ambition above that of a district leader ever went to Congress who did not find the demands of the place hunters one of the afflictions of his life. A reversal of President Harrison's rules would not only save a Presi- dent from much censure for mak- ing bad appointments, and shield him from a large part of the "pres- sure" to which a new President is now subjected, but it would tend to improve the character of the men elected to Congress. When votes for that office can no longer be paid for in Government positions, there will be an opportunity to elect to it men whose ambition is above that of patronage distributors. Just as soon as "heelers" find out that the peoples representatives in Congress

IT WOULD seem from our foreign dispatches giving recent election re- turns, that MT. John Albert Bright, son of the late John Bright, the candidate of the Liberal Unionists, now steps into the political shoes ot his late lamented father. The younger Bright was elected to suc- ceed his father, by a vote of 5,610 as against a vote of 2.560, cast for Mir William c. Beale, the Glad stonian candidate. If MT. Bright proves himself to be a "chip off of the same block" all Americans will

A telegram to the New York Herald, from Columbia, South Car olina, of April 16th, says :-"Geo. McCraven and John Harrison, two White county ruffians, went to the little town of Kershaw, Lancaster county on Sunday morning and they got drunk. They then pro- ceeded to paint the town red after the traditional Western style. Draw ing their pistols they ran through the street yelling like infuriated de- mons, shooting holes through the glass windows of the closed stores and threatening to "clean out the whole town"
 Policeman Hilton determined to arrest them, but as he approached them they both opened fire on him, one shot taking offect in his neck producing fatal wound. The policeman then returned the fire, killing McCraven at the first shot and breaking Harrison right arm at the second and compelling him to drop his pistol.

There seems to have been no excuse what
ever for the railroad accident which occurred
on the cit. > edge last night and which mar
nowly escaped being one Of the most frightful
disasters of recent times. freight train
bound north was shifted from its proper track
To the sOuth-bOund track TO avoid an obstruc-
ton. and passenger train bound south ran
into 1t. Who was to blame for allowing a
north-bound train to take the south-bound
track without using every means to signal or
block the s0uth-bound tram which was known
to be overdue? Why indeed, was any north
bound train allowed to take the south bound
track until it was known to be clear of south
bound trains? These are the questions which
the managers of the Baltimore and Potomac
road owe it to themselves to answer, and when
the guilty person is found he should be treated
TO the full penalty of the law. Human life is
too precious to be put at the mercy Of such
carelessness

The decision Of Chief Justice Bingham in tn

The decision Of Chief Justice Bingham in the
gas-incandescent light controversy is tenn
porary victory for gas. So far as the current
year is concerned the decision can probably be
made to prevent any change in the method Of
lighting, since the hearing upon the appeal to
the full court may easily be delayed. The
opinion of the Chief Justice is based upon
doubts which he entertains concerning the al
legged grant of authority to the Commissioners
by last sessions legislation to permit tearing
up of the streets for the purpose of making "a
change in the public lighting, and while he is
in doubt and until the full court can pass upon
the matter he prefers to keep the streets I'M
touched The comparative merits Of the two
forms Of lighting are not considered. The
effect Of final decision against the power of
the Commissioners in the matter will be to
nullify the privilege given to them by the act
of substituting other Illuminating material" for
gas. 1t does not seem necessary to indorse the
view that the Commissioners, as such, have
authority to tear up the streets of the capital,
the title to which is in the United States, in
order to find authority for the particular tear
ing proposed in this case. Congress gave the
Commissioners the right to change the form
of public hghting and unless, by so doing, it
also gave them the power 10 tear up the stfeets
as a necessary step in effecting this change,
the people generally will consider that the
Commissioners cannot touch the streets in the
manner proposed. Until the legal question Of
the construction of last sessions legislation is
finally decided by the proper tribunal the
public will be content to leave matters as they
are. Not even the prospect of decided i'm
provement in street-ligh;ing will justify
breaking of the streets of the legality Of which
there is doubt.

tricity is swift and sure, men continue to be
killed In twinkling by accidental contact with
electric wires. In recent case that attracted
wide attention, the victim received current of
l,5OO volts Yesterday man who had slipped
on an iron awning-rail in a New York city
street, and caught at the overhead wires for
support, received about $50 volts and seems to
have been killed instantly. 1t is calculated
that anything above 500 volts is perilous, the
degree differing with the physical condition of
the object of experiment, the state Of the at
mosphere, and other variable incidents. II

dnced from everyday life, whether the testi-

ample Of what peaceful, law-abiding methods
will accomplish. Had the strikers, frenzied by
hunger and other privations, resorted to riot
they might have been struggling still. As it
was, their cool, sensible behavior won for them
the sympathy of the leading men Of liberal
mind in London. The lord mayor, Cardinal
Manning and other dignitaries of influence
became the advocates of the poor, under-paid
workmen and helped to conduct their negotia-
tons with the dock companies. To the
