Some Moie Conuplton In the State ot
New Jeisey.
W had almost grown to believe that to Albany
and HarrinburK alone was limited the power ot
corruption, but the case of the "Mountain Par
tridge," tn New Jersey, comppls us to count her
In, and thus complete the tro. Lately, how
ever, some more misdeeds have been unearthod,
and that "goodly frame" of Trenlon scorn's to be
"a foul and pestilent connrejratlon of vapors,"
abounding in every species of bribery and olli
c'al crime. It has been announced in all the
papers of the country that the Grand Jury of
the Btato Capital hud found true bill against
four members of the Legislature, and the item
thus furnished a themo for the moralist and edi
tors for several days. Much praise h is been
awarded to the eeutfenicn of the Jury for
their courage and diligence, and we are rapidly
drifting towards the day whon the larora of Jer
sey will be held up as models for our imitation
and admiration. It Is our duty, howover, to
withdraw the curtain and see what lays behind,
for there is something rotten in this modern
Denmark.
The facts as briefly stated are these. The
Grand Jury met on Saturday week, had a pro
tracted session, and found true bills ajaiust
thirteen members of the Legislature. They then
adjourned until Wednesday. Meanwhile, contrary
to law, the fact -that an Indictment was tound
against them was mysteriously communicuted
to the parties, and they all hurried to the capi
tal. When the 1ury reassembled on Wednesday,
without taking any iew evidence, and without
having any of the former testimony rofuted, they
quietly quashed nine out of the thirteen, and
return to the Court only the remaining four.
Now, to well-regulated mind, the question
naturally arises, why, if thetrue bills were found
in the first place, should they be crushed in the
second T why the parties should be relcH?ed, and
whether the influence they used was like she
arguments employed by Mr. Parker to secure
the votes of the disinterested citizens of Eatins
villef These questions are such as demand au
answer, and we hope that the next Grand Jury
wiQ examine into the action of thir predeces
sor, and thoroughly ventilate the mysterious
causes which conduced to - secure thQ disappear
ance of the indicted legislators.
Again, in the selection of the four scapegoats
who were to bear the sins of the session, we are
told that they were culded by lustice, but if it
was justice, then we bad better have some de.
finite formula given, as there is evidently a
method in it. The victims were two Democrats
and two Republicans. Of these one Democrat
was a member of the Legislature, and alio one
Republican; the remaining two were lobby mem
bers. It will be thus seen that an even distri
bution was made, and hence, whatever faults
the Jury may have, we urant they were impar
tial. The names of the indicted were G. II. Van
Waooneb, Barclay Haines, Charles M. Run,
and Daniel Holsman. But what were the
names of the nine whose bills were with
drawn? "There's the rub." We have a dread
ful fear that James M. Scovel was among them.
And we cannot but think that James thinks so
himself. What joy he muBt haye, felt when he
succeeded in suppressing his name! Did he not
strive to.do so, not for his own sake, but for the
sake of the Senate of Jersey? Did he
not hasten to Trenton and have the little
matter bushed up? Did be not tele
graph to his friend, "I have beaten die enemy
ar.ain tn Alas ! We fear that James is a back
slider. We had hoped that the prompt exposure
of bis that little villany would have acted as a
means to prevent his descending tbe path of the
ungodly. We were influenced by a desire to
prevent this rash young man's political suicide,
and we therefore have spoken feelingly to him.
He has beretofore merited our censure, but if it
is true, James, that you were among the select
thliteen, we heartily pity you. Before, you
hoped for office, but to be placed among the
common herd of tbe bribed and bribers is a fall
indeedl Under ordinary circumstances, people
aie supposed to be innocent until they are proved
guilty; but where a criminal is known to have
been guilty and is again suspected, it becomes
him, if innooent, to prove himself upright. With
that kindness we have ever displayed towards
the "Mountain Partridge," we again open our
columns to him for any contradiction or justifi
cation. But it is an act of simple equity that
the nino indicted be published and sent before
the incoming Grand Jury, to investigate why the
Fame facte on Wednesday do not warrant the
same conclusion as that unanimously drawn on
tbe preceding 8aturday T
Left-hand Penmanship ol Our Soldiers.
Oub readers will remember that a few months
ago, Mr. William Olano Uocrne, editor of the
Soiaiera'1 Friend, offered the sum of $500, which
vi as increased Dy other gentlemen and by the
feanitary Commission to $1000, to be distributed
a" prizes for left-hand penmanship, by our sol
diers who bad lost their right arms. In the ser
vice of tueir country. Nearly three hundred
competitors ontributed specimens of their pen
manship; and .be Committee, consisting ot
Governor Fentoh, qf New York, and other pro
minent gentlemen, attributed the amount in
twenty-eight different zeat The first prize
was awarded to Franklin n, Dubbah, of this
city, private, Company F, Situ Pennsylvania In
fantry. We have just enjoyed the ploaulrei through
the favor of Mr. Bourne, of looktu,' over tne
original manuscripts sent in to compete v,r these
prizes. They certatnly reflect the gxatest
credit upon our soldiers, both in the mechanic
execution ol tbe writing, and In the litem)
character of the productions, many of which
would be exceedingly Interesting in print.
We undeistand that it is contemplated to send
these specimens of left-hand writing by soldiers
of tbe United States lor exhibition atthegre it
Taibi Fair, to be held next year. We doubt if
amuuK mo --luuuBirv or an nations" anything
more interesting will be found.
la It a Crime to Punish tbe Ouiltf f
"There Is one ujrly feature about the death
penalty which none of its advocates can inod-iy
r hide. It is the fact that, tn order to icS.ct it,
we are forced to aegrsvnto everr clrcumstaace
that makes muider hideous. Leeal murder is
done in cold blood; it is loi premeditated; it is
deaf to every cry, however agonl-rins, f"r pity;
it is blind to everv 8iin of penitence, ho vcvor
sincere; it takes no ihoutrht ot tbe condemned
man's relatives, however innocent, whose peace
it mars and whose future it bllhts. Can any
thing be more cowardly or more bloodthirsty
than that a million of me'i should seize an un
armed fellow-creature and ' slowly strangle him
to death ?" If. Y. lribune.
The Tribute, In its blind hostility to capital
punishment, falls to perceive the one great
"circumstance" that makes murder "hideous
viz., tbe malicious killing of an innocent person.
Society, in executing a murderer, puts to death
a guilty wretch who deserves to die. The mur
Jerer kills the Innocent; society punishes the
guilt V.
8o, too, in bestowing its sympathy upon the
murderer's relatives, the Iriliune tails to bit the
point. It is not tbe fact of e xeoution that mars
the peace and blights the future of the mur
derer's relatives, but the feet of murder. Here is
where the essence of guilt and of disgrace lies.
We see nothing "cowardly" in the fact that "a
million of men" seize an "unarmed fellow-creature,"
provided said unarmed lellow-creature be
a criminal, who outht to be arrested; nor do we
sec anything "bloodthirsty" in executing a niur
durer who deserves to die.
The morbid sympathy with criminals which
seeks to confound guilt and innocence, and
which s es no ditlercnce between murdor and
the puni-hment of murder by law, deserves exe
cration almost as much as crime itself. Its
ostensible benevolence is a sham, f ts good will
is (or crime,, Its tender mercies toward murder
are cruel towards innocence. Tbe doctrine that
enme Is merely "mental disease" is a doctrine
ol licence and anarchy.
Pacific Railroad Route-Shall ths Rest be
Chosen ?
Wb trust that the amendment to the PaclSc
Railroad bill, reported a day or two since by
Senator Howard, authorizing the Union
Pacific Ruilroai Company to continue their road
westward by the best and most practicable route,
without reference to uniting with the Omaha
Branch on the lOOlb. meridian or longitude,
will be promptly passed by Congress. The road
is now completed neorly to Fort Riley, Kansas,
and if the company is allowed to tike the best
and most direct route, it can be completed to
Denver within the next eighteen months or two
years. The matter, however, should not be left
subject to the consent ana approval of the
Secretary of the Interior, as Mr. Harlan, being
an Iowa man, is Inclined to favor the Omaha
Branch, and to embarrass the Union Pacific line.
A matter ot such importance to the commer
cial interests of the whole country should not bo
left subject to the interested action of any man.
It is sufficient to authorize the company to
build the road upon the most direct and feasible
route.
Hon. Millard Fillmore, we noMce, has ar.
rived in Paris. The perfect oblivion into which
our ex-President has sunk will furnish the
moralist with, the subiect ot a thesis on popular
fickleness. The man who twelvj years ago was
in every one's thoughts, now quietly leaves tbe
country unnoticed, and the few who see his
uame among tbe registered Americans suggest
the propriety ot his making Europe bis perma
nent home. The case of Mr. Fillmore is not an
isolated one. All of those of our public men
whose popularity is founded rather On chance
than talent soon sink out of remembrance.
General McClellan is at Berlin, an 1 of him no
one thinks or speaks. Where G. H. Pendlbton
is no one knows or cares. Hannibal Hamlin is
playing the Cincinantus in Maine, whlle.also
Joseph Lane, or Donaldson, or John Bell, or
Kino has been lortcotten. Such Instances cer
tainly tend to dampen the ardor of a political
aspirant. If Buchanan, Pierce, Fillmore,
Hamlin, and Breckinridge, after attaining the
highest offices in tbe land, are thus forgotten,
what incentive to exertion is left?
A Strike Ended. The great strike of the
New York ship-carpenters and caulkers for the
"eight-hour principle" has come to an end, the
etrort to force that measure upon the ship
builders having failed. The method of hiring
by the hour instead of by the day is being urged
in some quarters. Tnat would do very well,
unless somebody should thereupon start a move
ment lor making forty minutes an hour.
Proposes to Secede. The Rev. Dr. Bollock,
of Baltimore, a brother-in-law to the traitor
John C. Breckinridge, proposes to secede from
the Old School Presbyterian Church, because of
its late action with reference to the Rebel Pres
bytery of Louisville.
Let him go. The Presbyterian Church can
well afford to lose all such in en.
Not Suited Our Democratic contemporary
is not pleased with the resolution; passed bv
the Soldiers' Convection at iU late session in
Pittsburg. This is naiuml. It was not pleased
when the "boys in blue" were fighting to put
down the Rebellion. It maintains its consist
encyand so do the soldiers.
Caught. It turns out that the Loyil Georgian
was not suppressed by General Tillotson after
all. Our Democrats contemporary, supposing
it bad been, was in great glee yesterday. It
exhibited its inconsistency, therefore, tor
nothing.
