THE LOGICAL DISPATCH.

1t may be, and probably is the case,
that the Dispatch has a thorough con-
tempt for logic. We are at O. loss to un-
derstand upon what other principle II
persists in arguing that 1t is very
strange The Times had no reason TO
suppose our elections were dishonest In
many of the negro counties four months
ago. We have said we had not supposed
It, and. while not challenging the truth
of this statement, the Dispatch hangs
on to the plea that this is very strange
and goes into a long recitation OF the
alleged fraudulent election of Fitz. Lee
Governor Mckinney. etc. is it strange
that we did not and do not, believe that
Fitz. Lee beat John Wise by fraud. or
that McKinney's election over Malone
was only due to negro county MAORI
ties, etc. etc.?
But has that anything TO do with our
present belief that frauds exist, and our
wish to stop them? II we were more
ignorant year ago than we are to-day, or
II proof OF fraud has been made more
glazing. what Inconsistency is there IN our
pursuing the course now which is
pointed out by a conviction OF the real
state OF the case as 1t is at present?
The Dispatch seems Jealous TO mako
us ''particeps criminis" in some wav or
other, talks sneeringly OF our newborn
zeal" refuses 10 say that 1t is in favor
a frl atI In. n
tents itself with the declaration that
whenever a person is proved guilty of
violation OF our election laws he must
take the consequences"
We can tell the Dispatch that unless
public sentiment condemns fraud the
consequences 10 those who are proved
guilty will be very triiing. while tho
chances are manifold that no proof Will
he sufficient TO secure conviction
II 10 hardly probably that a 1urv win
find a man guilty and punish him for
fraudulent practices in elections II the
leaders OF his party and the pillars OF
society" say such practices are not only
5ustinablc. but necessary. When we see
fraudulent officers OF election convicted
and punished the Dispatch viii possibly
change Its attitude, and become a bold
denouncer OF frauds.
AZ We have not yet obtained a fair
and square answer to our question we
again ask the Dispatch. Are you In
favor OF stopping frauds in eIections?"
For the life OF us we cannot now tell |
where the Dispatch stands. and IT could |
greatly aid. II 1t pleased to do so. in
forming strong public opinion against
frauds In elections.

HOW TO MAKE LYNCHINGs LESS
FREQUENT.

The course which the authorities Of
the law have been pursuing at Manassas
with the two negroes that have been on
trial there is worth many lynchings as
a preventive OF the crime committed by
them. For the law to afford perfect pro-
lection to the accused whilst his trial IS
In progress, but to proceed with 1t prompt
ly and in due order up TO the exc
ton Of the condemned men in the face OF
the whole public is the course to pursue
popular mind. II is not the severity OF
punishment which deters from the COM
mission of crime, but the promptness and
certainty Of II. The promptness with
which the French tried and executed
Havachol and Valiant is worth hundreds
of lynchings for suppressiug the violent
outbreaks Of the Anarchists. If the Leg
islature would make two amendments 10
our laws we believe that they would 20
long way toward causing the disgrace
of lynchings to be less frequent with our
people. Make the accused submit to trial
in the County Court, and then allow
him an appeal 10 only one court
the Circuit or Court Of Appeals, as he
might prefer. and require the appellate
court TO try the case as soon as il is
placed on its docket If the people had
the assurance Of prompt justice, which
these amendments Of the law would give
them, they would leave criminals to the

our city Judge whom her bar has unan-
imously selected as the member Oh
itself most suited 10 It's wishes.
The meeting OF the Bar yesterday was
n spectacle such as. we believe. mas
never been witnessed here before. one
hundred ana forty-nine members OF IL
were present, and we do not think that
as many as five were absent. They pre-
scented some very noticeable incidents.
The names Of five candidates were pre-
scented, and five ballots. viva voce, were
taken. resulting In the selection Of Judge
Minor. and yet there were not hye
speeches made. and not one OF min
ute's length. Thus a profession sup
posed by the world to be given up TO
speech-making assembled all Its members,
transacted a most important matter OF
business with speed. but not unbecoming
haste. and was silent throughout. what
an example was here set TO the SANDER
ers of the legal profession.
Another most notable fact was that
in almost every instance of a legal part
nershIp one member voted for one can
didate and the other for another. In
what other business would such a fact
have occurred? This fact speaks more
for the independence OF thought of the
legal profession than volumes could. The
palladium of our liberties is the lawyers.
Their life is given up TO reading, medita-
ton, and reflection, which begets an
and independence of char
acter that can find soil to grow in so
rood nowhere else. The world, unfortu
lately for the profession, judges it TO
100 great an extent by its unworthy
members. But those unworthy members
constitute but small proportion Of the
whole body. AS a rule the lawyer is a
just man. high in his conceptions Of duty,
keenly alive to whatever might stain
his honor, conservative. patriotic, and
lover of his kind, and nowhere is the
lawyer seen in his best form to better
advantage than right here in this old
Dominion.

sentiment expressed was of such char.

The question OF the selection OF a
route to Pittsburgh was the next matter
under consideration, and led to consid-
cradle discussion, and several members
spoke in regard to the railroad to be
taken. Messrs. Richards and Pollack,
OF the Escort Club, arrived at this time
and notified the club that the Escort
Club was going to have a special train
over the Baltimore 4 Ohio, and asked
the Eighth ward club to join them:
They spoke OF the excellence OF the
train service guaranteed, and that q

could do so the same night.
