You talk of the dangers tha,

few days ago ! read the story of
where a bandof murderers invad.
ed a court room in Virginia, and
where they shot down the Judge
on the bench, and we recall if
with horror; and yet, what did
1t amount to after all? 1t was but
the death of a man. There Law a
butchered hero prone upon the
bench he had adorned, like a vic
tim upon the altar. But above
that piece of mangled earth, wrap

Ike a TRANSPORTATION the dread
and immortal chancellor, his er-
mlne purified by the blood that
dappled it. Before the outraged
majesty Of the law these crude

CRIMINALS fled in terror, hiding in
the passes of the mountains. or
covering in a felon's cell await
ing an ignominious death.
Suppose that instead of this
wild resort to insane futile viol-
ence they had approached this
Judge with fair promise of wealth
and power. Suppose they had
said, Judge, if you will permit
us to make counterfeit money. if
you will permit US to make moon

and place and power shall beyours
we will support your administra-
ton; it will be strengthened. our
friends will stand by you and
make you all-powerful in politics.
If you attempt to enforce the law
against these friendly and puis-
SAINT influences, we will fight-pos- |

Judge had been seduced by this
secret attempt to debauch the !
clean and fearless execution of
the law. All, then would that
court have been stained and de-

been no violence, but it is the sill
ent prostitution of high officials,
without noise or notice, that is
most deadly, more to be feared /
and abhorred that all the tumuIt
and brutal murders of a hundred
oands of mountain marauders.

Justice itself have been polluted,
