Mr.. Childs and the "Ledger. /"

The Philadelphia Ledger makes public &C.
knowledgment in a leading editorial article
signed by L. Clarke Davis, the new managing
editor, of the good will and evidences OF esteem
exhibited by its contemporaries toward the
Lelyer and to Mr.. William V. Mexican. its late
editor, in making announcements of the retire
ment Of Mr.. Mexican from the editorship. This
change. the Ledger states, involves no other
changes in the staff Of the paper. Thus" the
article referred to concludes, ''the editorial
management will have and enjoy not only the
services of every member of its old staff, Mr.
Mexican continuing editorial writer, coun-
sellor and friend, but it will still haveHs its con-
trolling manager in all its several departments
its proprietor, Mr.. Childs, who from the day
thai it passed into his hands has been its direct
ing mind and governing hand, the shaper of its
fortunes, the builder Of its character aud the
maker Of its policy. What the Ledger was, as
originally remodeled by him, during his early
proprietOrship, and what it now is in useful
ness and popular estimation, it was and it is by
reason Of the continuous exercise Of Mr.. Childs'
sound Judgment, sedulous care, untiring en-
ergy and high purposes. Mr.. Childs will re-
main the chief editor of the Public LEDGER, and
In that Office will continue his efforts to in
crease its value to the public rs ., newspaper"

At the conclusion Of Mr.. Shillington's STIR
ring address Judge Goode stepped to the front
and, taking up his position before the jury,
plunged at once into the speech which was ex-
pected to be the principal one in behalf Of
Thornton j. Hams.
Referring to the solemnity OF the occasion
and the importance of jury trials in general he
decried the efforts that had been made to
PREJUDICE the case before the defendant had had
q chance to speak a word for himself. Every
breeze that had gone forth from Hampton since
the shooting had carried stories.Of the occur
renee that were anything but true and fair,
making out his client to be a hard hearted.
cruel young man. Judge Goode thanked God
that they had come into this house of refuge
where these proud waves OF calumny were bid
den to stop, and he was also thankful that the
case OF his client was now to be passed upon by
twelve good men and true, who had sworn on
the Bible that they had no prejudice against
the defendant at the bar.
REFERRINo TO Mr.. LIPscoMp.
As for the private part of she prosecution he
denied Mr.. Lipsconibs statement that he had

Of Mr.. Evans. He and Lincoln Smith are on q
level IN the witness stand MIR. Evans testified
that his doTy was between six and ten feet from
the water line and remained there for nearly
week. Mr. Ware measured il on the fol-
lowing Monday aud found the distance

and City feet, or about thi-ty-ive from moan

about 100 feet from him at the time of the snoot-
ing Smith and Gray say 1t was 300 feet Again,
Commander Evans w9s entirely Inaccurate as
to the length of the government wharf. Is it
natural that a man accustomed to measuring
distances with his eye should be so far out of
the way in estimating small distances of shore?
The POSITION OF Tue BOAT.
''tlr. Evans says that he recognized both of
the men in the boat when thew were coming
around the jetty. 800 or 400 yards distant from
him, and with their backs turned toward him.
Would you recognize people under such cir
eumStanees or would you say that you could
have recognized them? He says that the boat
was running toward shore instead Of away, as
Smith and GRAY testify. Now, think l shall be
able TO prove to you that Ii the boat was going
IN the direction lir. Evans says ii was, and with
the Fail as he says 1t was, he never could have
seen what he swore upon the rtand to having
seen. III you had seen all that Evans says he
saw and then had some one come up and told
you about it would you not have thought that
something bad occurred! Not till u servant
came in while he at dinner and told him
there had been murder did Mr.. Evans believe
the evidence OF his own eyes. If Capt Evans
saw what lac said he san he would have been 30
Impressed with the idea there had been u hon.
Icide that he would have told one hundred peo
pie before the boat had gone out 500 yards But
no; Commander Evans did not know there had
been "a shooting until lie was told about it.
Does 1t seem possible TO you that If you had
seen all lie says he saw in the boat. one and not
two emerge from the boat, one and not two
pass the house, tLat you would not have been
ll.prossed with the seriousness OF what you had
seen! Would you have waited TO be told what
you saw or what you believed you saw?

He VIII Arrive From Cape May Point at
3:15 This Evening.
A Cape May Point dispatch sent last night
says:
President Harrison and family will leave

O'Clock. They will go on q special as far as

The President has been at his cottage nearly
three months. During his stay here public
business has been transacted as usual. Every
thing has come to him from the White House
and from the several departments and been
taken care OF the same as if he had been at
Washington, the only difference being that in
stead OF being sent to him by messenger BUSH
ness has come 10 him by mail or express. All
necessary appointments have been made. 1t
was generally understood that the appellate
court appointments would not be made until
the meeting of Congress, and SO there has been
10 delay as to them. The appointments to the
vacancies on the interstate commerce commits
sion and to the federal bench of California are
the only important ones that are left to be
determined after his return to Washington

campaigning him will be Lieut.. and Mrs Par
ker, Gen. Kitchener aud daughter, Mr. Halford
