is afraid that it will be taken at that
price before the federal government
can secure it. The first commission
of Mr.. Jefferson as secretary of state
is the paper in the collection most
desired by the department, but it

South and Central American Republics.

South and Central American Republics.
1t would seem as if the condition
of affairs among the nations ofSouth
and Central America, is even wgfse
than usual. A rebellion agaffe-st.
Barrios, the President of Guatemala,
is being fomented and an outbreak
is expected in the fall. A govern
ment official has made the Nicara
guam treasury something worse
than bankrupt by carrying offs1OO,-
600, considerably more than the
amount of smart money the govern
ment recently paid England. Great
Britain threatens to forcibly collect
large debt which the government
of Honduras owes London bankers
and the republic is anticipating a
repetition of the recent Nicaraguan
affair. Yenezuela's boundary dis
ppte with England has not yet been
settled, nor have there appeared
any indications that peaceable ad
justment is any more probable than
at the beginning ofthe controversy.
The Brazilian government, which
has never fully recovered from the
shock of the Da Cana revolution of
last year, has become so unstable
that it is said President Moraes con-
templates resigning.
In addition to these domestic dis
sension, collision between French
marines and Brazilian civil author
tiles recently occurred in a seaport
town, that was of more Importance
than many an incident which has
thrown two nations into war. All
of which leads us to observe that
while the United States may not
have an ideal government, in com
parison with those of the Southern
nations, it is good enough to make
many of its own imperfections ap-
pear as positive virtues.-Kanawha

AN EASY PREY.

Asa matter of fact it would seem that
New York bank has been shown to be as
easy prey to sharper, as the ''hayseeds"
who are such an object Of ridicule in the
metropolis of the North. 1t was but very
recently that German barber in New
York left his business, studied law for a
short space, and wound up by swindling
the Shoe and Leather National Bank out
of 1884 900. Again, last week, it was dis
covered that fashy broker Of Wall street
who had commenced depositing city bonds
as collateral with the Mercantile National
Bank OF that city some time ago, had
swindled it out of $3.50, 900. He had had
the bonds engraved in fine style, but in half
of the cases had the wrong names OF the
Mayors and Treasurers Of the cities, some
with names of city officers who had been
dead previous to the date OF the bonds.
Those where the right names were used. OF
course had the signatures forged. and yet
the clever New York bank had received
them. Bogus bonds of Cleveland, Ohio, Har-
risburg, Pa, and GAINESVILLE, Ohio. had been
I1lEked off on the bank as collateral for
ms. s1sthout any investigation into their
genuineness. It was by the merest acct
dent the fraud was discovered. The bank
has surplus fund Of 81 100000 and is in
one sense Of the word safe from harm, but
the whole transaction, taken with others
late date, constitute vigorous commentary
on the astuteness OF metropolitan bank
methods.

Loop-HoIes in the Law

From the Richmond Dispatch, Jan. 18TH
The Danville Register is told that there are
''more loop-holes in the law in Virginia than
in any other State''
We do not know as to this. but we do know
that there are more loop-holes in our crimi-
nal procedure than there should be. Take
the case of Goodman. He was tried in the
county court and convicted. Then he appeal
ed to the circuit court and got new trial.
For the new trial his case is removed from
Allegheny to Albemarle. If convicted in
Albemarle he can appeal to new circuit
judge, and thence, if necessary, to the SUI
preme Court of Appeals.
And, by the way, we should like to know
if the County Judge of Albemarle will con-
slider himself bound by the rulings of Judge
McLaughlin-the Judge of a circuit in which
Albemarle is not included?
We venture to say that no other State in the
Union requires its trial courts to run so many
gauntlets of appellate courts. It is as if the
Legislature thought the county courts incapa-
BILE of deciding questions of law and had to
put at least two courts above them to hold
them in check and correct their rulings
This sort of thing ought not to be allowed
to continue. 1t makes conviction in many
clear cases well-nigh impossible 1t gives
the people poor opinion of the law-of the
administration of criminal justice. certainly
1t encourages lynchlaw. 1t is wrong, point
blank.
1t is in the power OF our General Assembly
to correct the the evil of which we complain,
but it has several times refused to do so. We
may be sure. however, that when we have a
constitutional convention, the convention
will cure this grievous ill. 1t is one about
which the people are complaining nightly.
1t is all right that an accused person should
be ensured fair trial, but the public have
rights as we'll as criminals.
