LANCASTEK DAILY INTELLIGENCER TUESDAY MlY 30 1882. fr Ilanrastci iUrlUfienccr. TUESDAY EVENING. MAY 30, 1882. Is Justice Here a " Farce J" The Xew Era, in commenting upon the strange instruction of District At torney Davis te the chief of police that he must make complaint against the mayor's special fire-bug detective as well as against the fire-bug he caught, pro ceeds te remark very significantly that, The public is in no mood te be trifled with concerning the administration of justice. .Public opinion and we are sorry te have te put it en lecerd ; fast settling down te the conviction that Lancaster county justice is a farce. The common talk is that if a man has influential friends or money enough te avail himself of the exhaustless delays and technicalties 'of the law, be can fire buildings or perpetrate red-handed murder itself with impunity, finally -escaping, if no ether avenue is open, through influences thrown into the jury box by " ways that are dark," but! i by tricks that are by no means " vain " in the estima tion of lawyers whose chief claim te dis tinction is their ability te secure a jury te suit the case in hand. That such things should be talked about and believed is a sad commentary upon the administration. of justice. Where there is much smoke there must be some fire, and the smoke which new ascends from our temple of justice has become almost suffocating. It is about time the judicial detectives should leek after the legal fire-bugs who furnish the oil and matches. That is a severe arraignment of the administration of justice in Lancaster county. The Intellkjkxceu has heretofore found occasion te challenge the methods of our courts ; hut we de net think it has ever said anything mere denunciatory than this utterance from a journal that has lately presented the presiding judge of this court te the Re publicans of the state as their fittest can didate for the supreme bench. " Lan caster county justice," as administered by litis court, we are new told " is a farce."' " The common talk " is that a man with money or influential frieuds " can lire buildings or perpetrate red handt'd murder itself with impunity," and escape finally, " if no ether avenue is open," through tampering with the jury box. The Intei.liukm 1:1:. for n.aking some intimation of this kind in a much mere guarded way, fell under the anath ema of "this here court" and its editeis were disbarred. Probably tiic very severe way in which our benign and benighted judges burned their judicial fingers en that occasion may se inspire them with the discretion that is se much better than ia:h valor, that they will net un dertake te send the AW Era editor te jail for contempt. But if they knew what their own dignity requires, and what is demanded te preserve the re spect in winch their court should Le held, they will at once request the editor of the JVcc Era te say upon what evi dence he charges that Lancaster county justice is a farce, and that money or in fluence releases prisoners, and that the jury box is tampered with. These are tee serious charges te be parsed by un heeded by the judges. They demand in vestigation. There is common talk such as the jYiie Era. repeats. "We understand that it has been inspired te its utterance by what is said concerning the result of the Miller homicide trial just concluded, and in which a verdict was rendered that un doubtedly is net sustained by the public judgment. Judge Livingston presided ever the trial. The jury panel was ex hausted, as it always is in murder cases. The sheriff summoned jurymen from the bystanders. The lawyers put in their weik, the judge had little te say te the jury beyond defining for them the de grees of murder, and Miller was ac quitted. Miller is a man of means and influence in his section and an active politician of the Republican persuasion. Possibly the thing was fairly done ; and possibly net ; the Xew Era seems te think net ; it says the people think net ; and we think very likely net. Yeu see hew the thing could have been done, with a court none tee sharp, lawyers none tee scrupulous, an easy clerk and a benign sheriff. The lawyers would exhaust the panel; among the by. standers would be plenty of the prison er's friends ; the lawyers would net knew it, the sheriff would net recognize them and the court would net see it ; and yet they would get en the jury. It is a geed thing for a prisoner te have his friends or Ids lawyer's friends en the jury. Rut it is net a geed thing for a court of justice that the thing should be done se easily ; and perhaps se hon estly. The court officers need net ne cessarily be corrupt te make the game successful ; they had only te be stupidly geed natural ; from the bench down. But such things would net happen in a court where justice was administered by alert and acute as well as honest ministers ; even under our present sys tern of drawing jurors, which se sadly seeds amendment. Talesmen ought te be drawn from the bystanders only en rare and unexpected occasions ; it should never happen, as it new does, that the defendant in a murder case should knew that it was in his power te exhaust the panel and compel a resort te the bystand ers te fill the jury. When such cases areen the list a panel of jurors should be pro vided large enough te resist exhaustion from the defendant's challenges ; and when that mischance does occur the court should see te it that the sheriff does net pick up jurors put right under his nose for the purpose. Business and Politics. Tiie proposed nomination of Jehn Wanamaker, for congressman at-large en the Republican state ticket, has led te the sajingef some very foolish things in the public prints and by the Republi cm politicians with regard te such a nomination. Oue of these is that the newspapers which he patronizes se liber ally with his advertisements would net dare te oppose him lest he withdraw his patronage. W.hile we have no sort of doubt that, as a candidate, Mr. Wana maker's high enterprise as a business man, and his geed personal character would exempt him from the scurrilous warfare which is tee often waged in the heat of a campaign, he would very seen discover that the honest newspapers of Pennsylvania de net sell their principles with their advertising columns, and that as a representative of the Cameren power in state politics he would encounter just as vigorous imposition as that power merits. .Anether suggestion is that Mr. Wanamaker's nomination would force all the small storekeepers in the city and in the state te vote against him, and maybe against the whole ticket. Te which the answer is made, "and if it does all the ministers will be with him in their congregations and in preaching from their pulpits." Equally narrow-minded and senseless is each of these suggestions. The "small storekeepers" will de well te stick te their business and the preachers te their text. The kind of men who would be influenced by such considera tions for or against Mr. Wanamaker are net potential. The day for that sort of thing is past. Mr. Cameren may play the feel with the "business interests" of the state, but it is the privilege of a United States senator te be the biggest feel in the commonwealth. The memory of the war is tee fresh, the sentiments which it awakened are tee strong and tee many of the survivors of it are still among us, te enable us te fairly determine as yet whether or net the observance of Decoration day is te be a permanent national festival. Fer a time its held upon popular interest seemed te be weakening, and that there is a revival of interest in it is due te the fact that it has lest much of the former narrowness and sometimes sectional and party spirit which marred its celebration. The cus tom of strewing flowers en the soldiers' graves originated in the Seuth, and since its adoption by the Union people the as perities of war have been softened, and where the ceremony is observed new it is generally made an occasion for the expression of sentiments of fra ternity aud charity. Indeed the custom of decorating the graves has extended far beyond these of the soldiers and if Dec ration day is te have a permanent inter est it will be in this enlarged scope of its observance. We have noue tee many holidays, aud one at this season, when nature is in her fairest garb, and especi ally since the increasing lateness of the spring has almost robbed us of " May Day," will be altogether timely. There can be no mere graceful occasion for it than the remembrance of the dead, by the decoration of their graves, but we venture te suggest that a greatly im proved style of decoration would be the planting of choice flowers aud shrubbery instead of the present mode of laying cut flowers and bouquets en the tombs ; they wither and suggest forgetfulness of ilif occasion which inspired them. Le ! the peer African. Is he net a man and a brother te be considered in connection with this vacancy en the Re publican state ticket ? GriTEAr be hanged. It is the Penn sylvania " Stalwart of Stalwarts" who new commands public attention.

Stephen's refusal te run for governor en the Independent ticket- that it exultantly says : "The roller-chair of the veuerable Georgia statcsmau is as heavy as the trucks of a coal car. It has crushed out the coalition and mangled in dependeutism." Ix accordance with Cameren's direction te Cameren's chairman, Cameren's state convention will re-assemble at Harrisburg en Wednesday, June 21, at 10 a. m., te nominate Camcien's candidate for Cen-gressmau-at-large ou the Cameren ticket, who may or net be Jehn Wanamaker. He hasn't decided and maybe Cameren hasn't. Toe many sentimental "pioneers" aud farmers went out te the Rugby colony in Tennessee, and, notwithstanding the ad vantages of the place itself, the colony has proved a failure.

In February last during the session of the Legislature, the Hagerstown, Md., Herald and I'ercldight charged Senater Farrew with having voted for the Demo cratic candidate at the electien of state treasurer and with being influence I in his vete by improper considerations. Mr. Farrew brought suit for malicious libel against the owner of the paper, Deputy U. S. Treasurer Negley, of the Baltimore custom house, and has lecevcred $2,000 damages. Pennsylvania Republicans who accuse the Independents of Democratic affiliations had better take care. Tnn Press bases a report " that General Winfleld Scott Hancock, of Pennsylvania, the Democratic candidate for president iu 1880, is te be nominated for governor of Pennsylvania by the Democrats," en the fact that Gen. Hancock spent last Sunday at Yerk and iu part in the company of Judge Black. Far mere unlikely things than Gen. Hancock's nomination have happened, but se far as it ii conjectured from his social visit te Yerk there is no foundation for the report. His visit was made in pursuance of a long contemplated purpose te go te Mr. Small's whose guest he was and bad no political significance whatever. Whitelaw Reid'b rich father-in-law has enabled him te redeem the Tribune stock which was formerly hypothecated with Jay Gould, and, new that he .has a controlling interest in that paper, he can de with it what he pleases. One of h is fancies is his quarrel with Appletens, the publishers. It arises out of the fact that Chas. A. Dana, of the Sun, whom Rcid hates se cordially, edits Appleteu's Cyclo Cycle paedia, hence the Tribune could net notice it ; theu the Appletens refused te adver tise in the Tribune, theu it excluded them from every part of the paper aud its readers may search in vain for a review of even Bancroft's last work in its columns. The Tribune is also shut off from Lecky, Darwin, Huxley and Tyndall. This is small business all around, especially 'as Gee. Ripley, one of the Tribune staff, is associated with Dana in the editing of the Cyclepaedia. -m fc PERSONAL. Simen Cameuex says " thumbs up." Rawi.i: will net withdraw under fiiv.

The Terrible EUcct of Carleteu's 1'eetrj-. The elopement of Mrs. J. E. Harris with E. H. Sleaper,the United Statesman agent at Charlette, Mich., causes a great seusa tien. Mrs. Harris is younger than her husband and was much admired. Last week Mr. Sleaper bought a quantity of farm implements at Charlette and after ward sold them together with a costly wagon aud carriage. Wheu Mr. Harris leturucd home en Saturday night he missed the carriage and was told by Mr. Sleaper, who was ou intimate terms with the family, that he had borrowed it. The trusting husband left home yesterday morning as usual. When he returned at night he says a volume of Will Carleteu's poems lay open en the kitchen table, aud a little note called his attention te the poem, " Gene With a Handsomer Mau," aud concluded by saying he need never hope te see her, as she was following the dictations of the gentle passion of love, which she deemed mere biuding thau her marriage vows, and that the "handsome man " was Mr. Sleaper. The husband immediately applied te the police for assistance iu ap prehending the recreant couple. Cattle Lewer at Chicago. There was a big decline in the price of cattle at the Union stock yards in Chicago en Monday. It averaged about i cent per pound, live weight, which corresponds te a reduction of much mere than that in the price of dressed beef. ' The direct reason was the fact of much larger receipts. The arrivals were about deuble these of any day iu last week, including nearly 5,000 head of Texans alone. There was no large increase in the receipts of fat cattle, but that grade declined sharply, as a result of the greater supply of poorer stock. The New Yerk market remained firm, from which it is inferred by some that there will probably be no further decline here unless the arrivals of the future should much exceed present expectation. Prices have been se high, however, that there is plenty of room for a reaction if the cause of that fortitude be partly removed. The cause was a greater plenty of grass feed ought te make a material difference te the market in this important respect. m A Kcgular Hear of a ITellew. One of the trains arriving from the West at the Bread street station, Phila delphia, yesterday, had among its passen gers a curious creature, who seems te he only half human, lie has a head that rises peculiarly at the crown, and, low down en either side, are cars that are very small and delicate. His legs turn iu at the kuccsand his feet are bread ami flat aud have six teed each, and he .shambles in walking just as a bear does. A bright red line circles his threat. The muscles and joints of all lour of his limbs are mere like these of a bear than like theso of a human being, and he snaps occasionally with his jaws after the manner of the for mer nimal. The mau who accompanied him states that he was captured ucarly a year ase iu a wild state. The Attire or Knglish Walters. A new departure has been made in the atthe of ballroom waiters in Londen. An association has been started, all the mem bers of which adept an extremely neat livery of black with gilt buttons, and kuee breeches with silk stockings. This precludes the gratification of their receiv ing hearty greetings as honored guests of the house ; but it improves the appearance of a supper room, and, moreover, the liveried attendants exact a larger fee thau is paid te them when they appear iu the ordinary evening array of English gentle men and their butlers. A Jailer's CuuragceuH Wile. In Wcutwerth, N.C, four negre pris oners broke out of their cells in the jail and called the jailer from the main en trance. When he left this pest they knocked him down and made a dash for liberty. Three of them escaped. The jailer's wife seized the fourth man by the threat and leveling a revolver at his head threatened te kill him if he attempted te move another step. He surrendered and walked back te his cell. He is known as a desperate robber. BEAVER'S TCEAKXKSS. " Wanting la Hec KMentUl guallii guallii catles." American. Concerning Gen. Beaver's relationship te the wasteful and; worthless " state college " of Pennsylvania, the question first asked by many persons is whether he maybe fairly charged with auy moral de linquency as te the expenditure of the money given by the general and state governments. Ne doubt is expressed, as far as the facts are known, that a just answer te this inquiry would be in the negative. What is te be said is that Gen. Beaver and these whom he has influenced te secure the continued expenditure of the state endowment are fairly chargeable with net setting a geed example or show ing themselves true te a high standard of public duty. They well knew that, as the legislative committee unanimously re ported in 1879, "the institution is very badly mauaged," that " the state has never lcccivcd benefits at all commensurate with the amount of money" appropriated by it te the college, and that "the trustees have signally failed te carry out the objects for which the mag nificent land-grant was given by the United States." General Beaver is far tee intelligent a man net te understand this perfectly, and yet he ha?, for sev eral years, ompleycd his personal and po litical influence at Harrisburg te prevent the Legislature from cutting off the pub lic fund, as the Heuse twice, by large ma jorities, voted te de. It is impossible te say that this shows such an appreciation of public duty as befits a candidate for governor of Pennsylvania ; whoever, in the face of knowledge, urecures a misuse of the public interests for the advantage or private ones, must be deemed wanting in a most essential qualification for high office. - - CUUKCII CONVENTIONS.

It is te be hoped that iu return for this compliment he will get the frank assur ance for " my ticket" that was accorded Senater Den by a senatorial delogate at the convention, that "we are for your ticket as slated, but would rather net vote for Wolfe."

SALISBURY NHVS. Happenings In and Around the Gap. Petate plants are beginning te make their appeal ance and it is evident that the fact has heen promptly recognized by the Colerado bcetle by its representation here. On Thursday night, betwecu twenty and thirty fancy chickens were stolen from the premises of Daniel Webster in Salisbury township. They tracked the thieves about a mile in the direction of Christiana. On Saturday morning at the Gap Rebert Knox left his herse hitched te' a new buggy tied while he went into Bailey X. Martin's store. The animal took fright at a passing train, hroke loose and'dashed off at a terrific rate. He was seen caught, but net before the vehicle was somewhat damaged. II. A. Wise, esq., of the Gap, has iu his possession a water lily that undoubtedly takes the championship for both size and beauty ; it is the largest specimen that we have ever seen. It measures four feet in height, sixteen inches in circumference at the but, bears sixteen leaves which aver age forty inches iu length, and has been in bloom nine different times this year. If any of our florist friends can beat this specimen or can even match it, let w hear from them. Scheel Appointments.

R. was passing cast of Sheck's Mills at midnight last night the rigging of one of the car brakes became detached and fell, causiug a very serious wreck. Of cloven cars -leaded with gro ceries, fish in barrels, dry goods and ether merchandise, eight wcre totally wrecked and their contents scattered about ; and three mere were badly broken. The front brakeman, Jehu Funsten, was caught between two cars and instantly killed He had been jammed against eue of the cars se tightly that when they were separated his body stuck fast te the end of it. His mangled body was taken te his home at Harrisburg en engine Ne. 332, of his own train. lie was 28 years old, married, and had only been ou the read since Feb. 20. The track was tern up for 200 feet, aud the Columbia wreckers aud repairmen were summoned te put things into shape. Harry 31. Upp, railroad telegraph operator at Marietta, found au iron rail, eight feet long, tied en the track 25 feet east of Marietta; he saw it just iu time te save the Columbia wieck train from beiug wrecked by it, and from this circumstance it is surmised that some such iiendishness as this occasioned the wreck at Sheck's Mills. Vandalism. Seme unprincipled persons have dese crated the grave" of a little daughter of Captain E. McMelleu in Woodward Hill cemetery. Ou the flat tombstone there was a small block of mAible shaped like a Bible and having the inscription "Ellie's Bible" upon it. It was fastened te the tombstone with screws, and en Saturday last when members of Mr. McMclIcn's family visited the child's grave they discovered that seme one lest te all sense el decency aud without a spark of the ordinary .sentiment that is supposed te pervade the hu man breast, had wrenched the block" from the tombstone and carried it off. If the perpetrator of an act of such unmiti gated meanness could he discovered he would be treated, and justly tee, with the utmost rigor of the law. Complaint is made that there are continual evidences of vandalism in this and ether cemeteries. Rese hushes are tern up by the roots and carried off, and similar acts worse than annoying arc committed that call for special vigilance en the pait of tho.'e who guard the silent cities of the jlead.

Shertz was the first te he knocked out of time, but being reinforced by a young man named Heek, he made a rally, advanced again te the charge and succeeded in driving For Fer rest off and getting possession of both streams.

One of the last nainau is a young man who seemed te forget that the days of the volunteer fire department are ever, and attempted te interfere with the firemen and lido en the machine as in " the geed old days of old."
