Governor Geary’s veto of the great railroad .bill, which was sent to the Legislature ve-ster day, is a carefully prepared document. How ever desirable it maybe that tlie proposed rail jnails should be made,inasmuch as they would develop a vast and rich territory, still there have been doubts as: to the propriety of this particular mode of making them. The Gov ernor’s reasoning on the constitutionality of the bill is strong. His views as to the expe diency of substituting the bonds of new cor porations, for those of well established and secure ones already in the Sinking Fund, are also very forcible. There ought to be capital' enough to build these roads without the State aid’ The people of Pennsylvania are sub-; scribing largely to the stock of new railroad projects in the far West, and they ought to be urged to employ their money in equally pro. arising, or more promising projects of the kind nearer home. THE NEXT BITY. With a long breath of grateful relief, the people of Pennsylvania have read the good news of the adjournment of the worst’ Legisla tive body that ever disgraced the Capitol of , the Stale. With a record of the most shame less and corrupt disregard of ’ their duty, the majority of the Legislature return to give ac counts of their stewardships to their constitu- ents. Some of them who have been most deeply responsible for- the villainouß legislation of’the past session will be the loudest in their professions of purity ; and some whose con sciences have had all vitality seared out of them, will be the most eloquent in their blas phemous appeals to high Heaven to attest their innocence of all wrong. It is so easy for men who have lost their own moral sense, to play upon the-credulity of honest and unsuspecting then, that we shall expect to hear and see and read a large amount of hypocritical self-justifi- cation from those who feel the necessity of averting the storm of indignation that they have invoked by their miserable misconduct during the past winter. ■ ' Aifew of the'newspapers of this city,—and the people should note, the fact that the work has been done by a few only,—have labored Steadily and fearlessly to expose, if they coulcl not control, the wretched. system of reckless and corrupt legislation of the past session. It is noio for the people to apply the efficient ' 'remedy. How is this to be done ? Most of these men calculated upon re-elections. There ie more money to be made in corrupt legislating than by any ordinary, honest business, and very few men are fit to settle down in any of the legitimate channels of trade, after plunging themselves into the foul stream of such legisla tion as that which has been practiced during the late session. They will work hard for re nominations. They will peijure themselves to dean their records. They will cheat, and in trigue and bribe to secure the control of Con ventions. They will succeed, in many cases. But they must have votes, and the duty of the -people is to see that they do not yet them. Floating all through this community is - a deep feeling of disgust which desires to repu diate this, whole crew of disreputable. politi cians. . .But this feeling needs to be organized, xiystallized into definite lorm, to make it effi -1 dent. If this can be done, it is strong enough t to sweep the .balls of .the Capitol with a besom :Mf destruction, and to fill their dishonored seats with dtizens who can be trusted to frame our laws. This great social reform can best be done through the agency of the Union League of Philadelphia ill is a most proper work for that great organization to undertake, and there is nb good reason why the League should not take it up. Its membership represents the flower of every profession, and of every de partment of industry, commerce, education and public enterprise in Philadelphia. It enjoys the confidence of the people to the highest extent. Its past record of patriotic devotion has earned tor it the respect of the decent, upright, intelligent voters of this com munity, and the Union League owes it to itself to preserve its past honors by adding to them these new ones, which it cannot fail to win if it will bring its great moral power to bear directly upon this great question of Legislative reform. The Union League has continued most essentially, toward conquering a glorious peace, and it w ould be a public calamity .if it should divest itself of all its significance as a great political anti moral force, and sink down to the low level of a mere luxurious private social club. It stands before the people, symbolizing the .patriotism, the integrity, the public virtue of 4heCommunity. The people have gladly fol T lowed wherever it has carried its honored ban- kers, and they will follow again, and to isimilar victories. In another month or two the politi- cal machinery will all be at work to “set up,'’ as the phrase is, the nominating conventions. If the Union League will now come forward, and give tone and direction to public sentiment, we may hope to see a very different class of men at Harrisburg next winter. Mr. Elliott, will be not left to battle, in a hopeless minority, against the cor rupt rings and cliques that have baffled all his honest efforts. Messrs. Johnson and Miller have sympathized with Mr. Elliott, and aided him, at least by their votes; but even these gentlemen seem, with all their honesty of pur pose, to lack the courage to stand up with «qual boldness, and.maiulain an open fight on the floor of the House. Another winter’s ex perience would probably give these gentlemen more confidence and nerve, and we trust that they will be returned. . If Pennsylvania and Philadelphia are ever again disgraced with such a Legislature as the last one, it will be because the people have not been furnished with such a rallying point, such hhase of concentrated action, as, the Union League can easily supply. Will not the U uion J-eagiie accept the responsibility? THE ( PNJMAN BUSINESS. vv ' It fs-as casy: fqr theh/ejical humanitarians ty the East to condemn the assaults made by our troops;’ itpouv ;fbe -Indians; and; to criUdm harshly'the° operations of military men upop the plains, as it was, for ..editors, seated, com fortably, in their sanctunis,..to insist, daring the war, upon the immediate advance of the army uponiticbmoqd. In the latter ckse, the .parior Strategists knew nothing of the practical obsta cles to such a movementin the former therp is riot such'keen appreciation of the ferocity ot the savages, of,the horyors of.their methods dl: warfare, or of the necessity for application of. brute force, as there would be if tlie fault-fina ers had’siifl’ered’tbe butcbeiy of their . rind lived themselves in momentary expeCtaj ”tidn of’losing their scalps. Perhaps, at this safe distance, we are able to consider this sub ject more dispassionately than who live upon the frontiers ;' butlt lS' jifst 'possible that our want of practical familiarity , with thp dangers to which they are exposed. may make us incline.to sympathy with the Indians, as Western experience of .savage brutality prejudices the people of that section against them. It is rather absurd to assnme, as some of our philanthropists do, that the citizens of Montana,, for instance, are wholly deficient' ip moral sensibility,’ or that they are so and villainous as to make haste to shed inno cent blood, merely to gratify their appetite for slaughter. We respectfully decline to believe that these people hate Indians simply because they'are Indians, and are willing to murder them for pastime,, without having received any provocation whatever. The probabilities are that there is just as much genuine humanity and philanthropy,and as keen a love of justice, in Montana as there is Philadelphia; and when the citizens of that territory—men of all classes, ages and professions—approve with enthusiasm the, action of an army officer in an Indian cam paign, of which they are deeply interested ob servers, we may take for granted that there is at least a-“reasonable amount of propriety in that action. The frenzied friends of: peace insist that the outrages committed by the Indians are provoked and incited by injuries inflicted upon the savages by white men; and doubtless this is, in a-measure, true. But Indians,in seeking revenge, are not apt to offer retaliation in kind, or to be choice in selecting their victims. If a grocer sands a man’s sugar, the offence hardly justifies the man in waylaying him some dark night and butchering him ; and if a reckless trader merely cheats an Indian in a. bargain, our ideas of propriety are outraged if the Indian kills the trader and hacks ;up his relations. If, again, A affronts B, the demands of justice are hardly fulfilled if B goes to C; burns his bouse, roasts him in a camp fire, and drives stakes through the stomachs of his children that they may die by slow tortured And yet these are precisely the theories upon which the Indians act. It may be urged that the savages cannot obtain redress, generally, from the guilty parties; but we cannot blame citizens of Montana or of, any other place, if they object to being tortured and murdered be-. cause some other men, in some indefinite way', chose to kill or cheat an Indian. The coldest blooded member of the Peace Society woulc) find his amiable soul blazing with wrath and his pacific heart thirsting for blood, if he suffered from practical application of such a doctrine. The Western people choose to defend their lives and property from the horrible assaults of the savages to whose cruelty they are exposed. They must do this or leave the country. They must strike hiowS that will hurt. It is useless to wage war of any kind upon philanthropic principles; and particularly is the quality of mercy objectionable in conducting warfare against the Indians. We have tried pow-wow ing and pipe-smoking and councils until we are sick of them. The Indians bury the hatchet in theory in the council; and then they adjourn to bury it in the brains of the settlers. They do not appreciate kindness, generosity or the binding force of oaths. < They, will swear friendship in the winter, when they cannot fight, and so secure immunity until the grass grows, when they take to the war-path and begin their marauding and murdering raids. The example of William Penn does not suit this emergency. The Indians were simple then; they are wiser and wickeder now; and, even Penn would find it as difficult at present to induce them to keep faith, as to make many of us believe his bargain with thenj a fair one. Our first duty just now is to ptoj tect the white settlers nponourfrontiers at any sacrifice; and it seems as if this can only be done by pitiless, relentless warfare. When we have made the savages feel ourpower, and have subdued them and disarmed them, then we can begin to talk to them <?f peace and civilization. We cannot defeat their schemes of massacre with soft words, or Christian sentiments. The mild philanthropist who ventured among the Pier gan’s upon such .an errand would have lost bi 3 hair and his lifo. In the abusive comments that Lave beetj made upon the Piegan fight, great stress has been laid upon the fact that several women antj children were massacred. Unquestionably this seems horrible, and is horriblebut it is not quite so bad as would have been the butchery of non-combatant women, in the late civil war, for instance. The Indian woman ol poetry has no existence. Hiawatha, Minne haha, “Bright Alfarata” and the like, are creatures as fabulous as fairies or furies. The leal Indian squaw is a prosaic being,who turns out and fights with her husband, and childrefi and dogs whenever there is a chance. If a prisoner is captured, slie finds unalloyed bliss iu mutilating his person, in crucifying him, or in building a fire upon his prostrate form, so that her male relatives may indulge in a wai; dance. That nice respect which civilization pays to her sex, might protect her from assault even under these circumstances; but we are not going to condemn with bitterness the ’ trooper who kills a squaw who is trying to blow out his brains or to drag him from, his horse, so that she may prepare him for a savage military ball in the evening. The soldier may vitiate the laws [of polite society, or even of modern civilization, hut he obeys the higher law of self-preservation. If the people who howl against the soldiers frir committing these alleged offences, would give a little of the sympathy extended to the to their white victims, we might re spect their philanthropy more. But there are seme humanitarians who can only peroeive wrong and injustice when the offence is com- Tut: tiAJft itiitted against the special objects of their soli citude ; as, ,for ii)Strince, when was fined and Imprisoned in Trenton, the other day, by certain members of the Society for tlie Preven tion of Cruelly-to Animals, because Ibe killed a dog which was tearing him to pieces. Doubt less a squaw can be agreeable enough if she . behaves hergelf; and in that event we advocate tende'rest regard for her-womanhood; - but. when she bites aid tears arid stats and. makes bonfires of the bodies of inriocerit people, she ought' to hie. punished like any Other demonia cal being. “ The blnme for all these Indian troubles rests prifnhriiy with Congress. In the first place it lias filled the Indian bureau and the Indian agencies for years scoundrels Who have plundered the savages and the country alike, and who, in manjp instances have stirred the Indiarfs to strife that they, the agents, might reap profit from the campaigns. Congress has caused treaty after treaty to bri negotiated with thri Indians, and then has refused to make apprppriation.6. to fulfil the contracts entered into by the government. There are treaties now awaiting the action of Congress iri this respect. But the members of that body are too busy with jobs, with schemes for personal’ aggrandizement and enrichment, and with plans for the annexation of territory which wijl give us more unruly people. than the Indians to control, to care properly for the savages or for the defenceless people of the frontier. What we want above everything else in this business is tlie rejection of oil the poetry, in our Indian policy; an end to the “calumet of peace” rind the “ Great White Father” non sense, and the organization of a scheme which will provide for the treatment of the Indians as prosaic and dangerous human beings, who need to be redeemed from nomadic life, civil ized, educated and forced to understand Their individual responsibility to the Government, and the positive necessity for their obedience of the laws. As long as the present loose, care less and wicked treatment of these savages by the civil authorities is persisted in, so long will there be fighting and murder, and all the long train of horrors which follow the old reckless system, «rid> so long will a necessity exist for the infliction of such terrible blows as that struck by Colonel Baker against the Piegans. FERNANDO WOOD. The assault upon Gen. Howard, a day or two ago, by Fernando Wood, can only be re ceived by those who have auy knowledge of Mr. Wood’s antecedents and character with the utmost disgust. That a brave and accom plished soldier, who has rendered his country the most valuable services in many hard fought fields, and has given hie right arm in defence of its life, arid who, in all capacities, has shown himself to be a gentleman, a philanthropist and a Christian, should be assailed in the Con. gress of the United States by such a. inati •as Wood, must fill every one with indignation, as well as loathing and disgust for the insuflef able impudence and insolence of the base ac cuser. It is really a marvel how this thing can be — how the House of Repiesentatives can tole rate the assumption of integrity and virtue that we have several times noticed has been ex hibited by this man. We presume that the pamphlet—or paper hook as the lawyers call it —giving the case of Mervine vs. Wood, has been laid on the table of every member of the former, if hot of the present Congress. That book contains a statement of transactions that, should debar this man from ever again making pretensions to honesty- or respectability, and much more from making charges with an air of superiority against others. Let the mem bers of Congress look at it, arid say whether such a man, in rising to matters of ex planation and accusations against such a man as General Howard, and ex cusing himself for his irregularity by charging the Speaker of the House with par tiality and injustice, ought not to be frowned down for such insufferable insolence. By thik paper book it will be seen that the civil actieh of Merylhe vs. Wood was only prevented from growing into a criminal one by reason of the long delay in the case, giving Wood the bene fit of the statute of limitations in respect to the time of commencing it; and, therefore saved him, perhaps, from a doom that would have. prevented him from making charges against others in Congress. We look for an exhibition of Wood’s record one of these days, by General Butler, that will make, spicy reading. The United States Senate has construed the Income Tax law so as to cover another year of taxes. Such a construetion is so totally op posed to the whole sentiment of', the country on the subject, tliat it is to be hoped that tbi- House will take a , view of the law more in accordance with the universal demand' to btj relieved from a burden, cheerfully borne dur ing the war, but now held to be as unnecessary as it is oppressive. j Airr Sale To-night.— One-half of the paint ings now-'; on exhibition' at' the well-known Galleries No. 1125 Chestnut street, will be sokj this evening by Mr. Scott; tlie art-auctioneeri The collection is of the first class, comprising choice paintings, generally of cabinet size] by the most celebrated French and 'German artists.

April B.—Jack Reynolds; the murderer of William Townsend, was hung at the Tombs here, this morning, shortly after nine o'clock. . / The gallows was erected at the south side of the court-yard, directly in iront of the female prison, the inmates having been removed to a distant part of. the building. The gallons is the same on which were executed Frank Fer ris in October, 1868; George Wagner,m March, 1807; Bernard Friery, in the same year, and Jeremiah O’Brien, also in the same year. The gallows consists simply of two upright posts and a transverse beam, depending from the centre of the iatter. To the east of the gallows there was a box two feet wide and five feet long. A two hundred and fifty poand weight is suspended here from a rope securely fastened to a cat-bead. This box was occupied by the executioner. The weight was dropped by quickly cutting the rope' fastened to the cat-head, thus jerking the culprit up, instead of dropping him by the trap, as was formerly the custom. Reynolds walked unassisted from his cell to the scaffold, followed by a .priest. On reach ing the gallows he immediately knelt in prayer, and, upon regaining his feet, the black cap was drawn down over .. his face, the fatal signal was given, and the spirit of the accused took its flight into eternity. While in bis cell, and being prepared for execution, be complained that the noosewas too tight. It was loosened, and trying it on again, be-seemed to be better satisfied with it. In consequence of this, at the execution the noose slipped and failed to break the neck of the criminal. After, tie body had remained suspended for thirty minutes, the surgeons examined it aud pronounced it inanimate,and it was taken down and prepared for burial. Reynolds walked'wilh a find step to the scaffold, seemingly not realizing his position. Be kept up the “insane dodge” to the close.: He spoke to no one, as he was not allowed aDy time to talk. Sheriff O’Brien was. present, with* about three hundred other persons. Tbnx.Gtd. 1033 00 176 00 5.06 00 370 00 Farther Particulars* Beynolds slept soundly all night, and was awakened at half-past five o'clock for mass. He stated that. he - wanted something to eat. Being told that it was improper to eat before receiving the Eucharist, be grumbled thereat. He was accompanied to mass by Heal, who is now waiting trial for -murdering a police officer. • After mass Mr. McFarland came down and bade Beynolds farewell. Beynolds then refused to.tak’e any food. Before Beynolds passed ont, a number of women with children in arms passed over the “ Bridge of Sighs,” the noose brushing against them as they went along. This fact Seemed to render Jack somewhat uneasy. Outside the crowd was very dense. The police drove the people from the housetops wherever they could reach them. At half-past eight o’clock the Sheriff, his assistants and the police tiled into the jail yard. . Before leaving the- prison. Reynolds said to his counsel that ho knew he had been very wicked, but he had prayed to God to forgive him, and he hoped he had done so. He was rather Unshed, and smiled at the spectators. He carried the crucifix. Beynolds prayed and wept for somo minutes on the scaffold, but did not speak a word audibly. The trap-rope was cut at a given signal and the body snot Into the air, For several minutes, there was a slight move ment of the muscles, and the body bent in a semicircle backwards. The i)ody remained hanging for thirty-three - minutes, when it waS cut down, enaoflined.antl given to the brother of Reynolds ; for interment.

Even Mr. McFarland and his.littleson had great,difficulty in forcing their, ,way iato the overcrowded coiirt-Toom; Mr. Spencer, 1 the prisoner’s counsel, opened for the defence; and appealed to -the jury, as 1 husbands and fathers, to acquit the accused; Mr. McFarland was a greatly wronged-and injured man, he,said. ;; He; called attention to the fact that no/witness had heard the prisoner say a word at the time of the tragedy. Mis out raged feelings had impelled him to turn upon the enemy of his household, home and family. Mr. Spencer said the prisoner was in-Mio Tribunt office scribbling upon a piece of pa per ; that paper probably would be a great advantage to the defence, but could nol be found. One piece of the testimony when Richardson met McFarland in Sinclair’s houßß was to the effect that ho glanced at Mc- Farland insultingly. The deceased always went armed., Months before the tragedy Mr. Richardson insured his life for the benefit of Mrs. McFarland. She is now revelling upon , the proceedsof that insurance. , ' The defence was that when McFarland fired the fatal shot he was not i» a state of mind to make him responsible for the act. He then glanced at the principal events of Mr. McFarland's life", showing his delicate and nervous temperament. ’• He' married Abbie Sage—she but; fifteen years of age—a poor factory girl, without education. He educated her, and her present position as an, authoress is due'to him. They lived many years together happily. In that time three children blessed the union. One has died. Oneis now beside the father. The other he-has not seen for some years. Any attempts to attack the habits of the prisoner his counsel were fully prepared tel meet. Mrs. McFarland had said that the only thing needed to admit her to elite society was money. The prisoner had been wealthy, but be was.very poor when "his wife said this. The prisoner obtained nothing with his wife save those priceless jewels—beauty and virtue. She was his idol. At her. feet he dashed all his wealth of iucie, love and, lore. ’To break this idol before his eyes and clothe the rem nants with the hideous garments of infidelity was sufli cient to sap the reason of any man. ■ In the summer of 1866 Mr. McFarland sent; his wife to the White Mountains. In an evil! 'hour she fell in with the FoUriferites and Free- Eovers, among whom every “Jack has his; Jill.” While sne was there, a new actress ap peared upon the scene—Mrs. Calhoun; plot ter, procurer, panderer. This • woman poured' into the mind of Mrs. McFarland the seeds of an infernal plant, that would sprout and ripen; into an abandonment of home, husband and; children—nay, as you well know, culminated in the terrible tragedy we are reviewing. j Counsel then reviewed the events of Mr. Richardson’s life, and referred to the.com-'- mencement of his acquaintance with Mrs/ McFarland. He obtained for her a theatrical engagement,and then went to the theatre and escorted her home, when both were together' locked in a rooin for houm at a time. He robbed Mr. McFarland of one of his sons by haring him sent/away—God knows where;; and hired rooms in theisame house with Mrs. McFarland, tempting; her to do evil until she; was suspected, and then she-absconded,taking; with her the other son. It was at this time that Mr, McFarland’s mind began to show signs of distraction.; About th&time he began'to visit the Tribune office to see Mr. Sinclair. While.-he was there one day, a boy came; and tosseda letter downuponthe counter, ad- : dressed tp Airs. McFarland. Mr. McFarland; opened it. That letter.told the whole story of his misery. It told his darling wife that' another man. had been waiting for years to possess her who belonged to him.- If I was to get such a letter addressed to my wife I Would shoot the writer on’ the spot! [Tremendous applause, which (lasted nearly a minute, and was checked with great difficulty by the tipstaves.] That letter was'proof posi tive of adulterous intercourse between the; parties. • Almost, immediately after this we find that Richardson and Mrs". McFarland were living; together in Washington - street, without even' a doer between. their apartments. The pri soner then breaks open his wife’s trunk and finds. Riebardson’s photographs, and letters,; aiding and abetting her in her crime,, irom; Mrs. Sinclair, Mrs. Calhoun, and others. ! Mr. McFarland then commenced suit to get possession of his childreh. It is doubted whether he was wholly sane at that time. The next step of Mrs. McFarland was to, procure a divorce, and Mr. McFarland heard that a fraudulent divorce had been obtained.; This was the last straw that broke the back of bis sanity; A week before the tragedy he was! wild.. He said he did not know whire he had! been the day before. He was determined to obtain his child, as he heard that Richardson - and Mrs. McFarland intended to move to the West and.be married, taking bis child with 1 them.; This seemed to unman Mr. McFarland and he became furiously insane at times. ’ Then followed the scene in the Tribune office. He remembers but little of it. He was arrested and told that Richardson was shot, When he exclaimed, as if awaking from a dream: “My God! It must have been me!’} , There-was one more event that crowned this everlasting infamy. It- was Mr, Froth, ingham, wh6 thanked God, “for what these two had been to .each other” nt the death-bed - marriage. ' i *• Mr. Spencer then closed with an eloquent appeal to the jury. , . . | The Court then tobk a recess, during which Mr. Sinclair held Mr. McFarland by the baud in conversation for some'minutfes. 1 j James McFarland,-brother of'the prisoner, was then sworn for the defence.
