Al. This may seem

for dismissal. This may e to
some to be a harsh and unnecessary
restriction upon the liberties OF men.
They win say that, when on duty, the
men should be permitted 10 spend
their leisure time wherever they may
please: wherever they may find en-
joyment and congenial companions,
But In this the management OF the
great railroads would not concur.
They have agreed upon and adopted
this rule from a purely practical mo
tive and In a spirit of self-protecti0n,
They have been actuated by no de-
sire to enforce bigited and narrow
rules Of conduct upon their men. They
demand and they have a right 70 de-
mand that the men who hold In their
hands the safety Of the lives and
property 81 thousands upon thousands
of their fellow men shall regard the
welfare Of this trust above every con
siderntion OF personal qualification.

A AT HOME.

The Springfield Republican has col
lemted the following expressions from
the press of South Carolina which arc
interesting as showing the spiril in
which the acquital Of Tillman Is 70,
ceived at home.
From the Charleston. tS. CO News
sand Courier.
There Is no appeal from the verdict
Of the jury except TO public opinion,
and that tribunal while awaiting the
judgment OF the court at Lexington,
made up IFS own verdict upon the
evidence submitted to the jury In the
case and to the people through the
press. II Is so much the worse for
the law that the verdict Of public opin-
lon Is not the verdict 81 the jury. Mr..
Tillman has been released from the
custody Of the law, and Wake tie
earth d free man. and is entitled 10
the protection Of the law. We do not
envy him his freedom-the dead man
Is far happier than the living.
The trial Is moi ended. Of course.
There has been d change Of venue
from the court al Lexington to the
court OF conscience. There will be no
question now about who shall preside
in tho trial or this case The rules
will not permit very great latitude II

Thou shalt not kill"
From the CoIumb,( s.. CT State.
There is just n important piece
Of information possessed by the Lex
ington jury which has been withheld
from the great body OF citizens who
have heard the testimony. The Lex
ington jurors knew that before the
trial began the ~inclinatoins OF al
most every man on the panel had
been secured, and that when the case
was entered upon a majority Of the
twelve men, who swore they were i'm
partial and had nayer expressed an
opinion, were partisIans for the de-
tense, That The jury would not N
yict under any circumstances was q
foregone conclusion; II would not
have found the defendant guilty had
no testimony been offered or no argu-
msnts been made in his behalf. And
the county Of Lexington must forever
bear the shame of a monstrous crime
committed against our system Of gov
eminent.
From the Chariot IN. ca Chronicle.
The verdict has been expected since
tho tragedy occurred. but that fact
does not keep down a feeling Of con-
tempt for a system which makes ac-
q~uittals in such cases possible.
From the sparatnburg ( S, C)
Journal.
Even with the verdict or acquittal

The result of this case. we fear,
will mean increased ~bloodshed over

who have money Or influence fear to
kill when they know they Wi
