THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DEOEMBER 29. 1808. vetting Stltgvityli MUSHED EKE Rl AFTERNOON (BtTWDAYl HClrtWl, AT THE XVXNISa TELEGRAPH BUILDING. NO. 108 a. THIRD BTSKXT. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1868. Even-banded Jnstlee. It requires so small stretch of fanoy to deteot the reeemblanoe between Jastloe as adminis tered In these modern days and her allegorical representative, the blindfoldad goddess with soales, who dealt evenly with all. It ma hare been that In the days when Cioero prac tised law the analogy was apparent, but oer tain It is that the scales at present mast be nloely balanoed with gold in order that the same exertions should be made by certain lawyers for a olient. The trial of the man Twitohell is the best evidenoe of how money can secure a defense whieh poverty could not attempt. We feel no hesitation in speaking frankly of this case, as there is no danger of anything we may say influencing in the least the final result. The twelve men on whom the decision of the question depends are closely looked np and guarded from the sight of any newspaper, and their judgment or their prejudice cannot be changed by any word of ours. The defense has been a despe rate one. No pettifogging motion, no objeo tlon, technical or material, no effort to bin the jury's mind, has been spared by the prl Boner's counsel. Those who hare read the trial cannot fail to note that an entirely differ ent objeot has been had in view than the seouring of a true statement of the guilt or innocence of the prisoner. That seems to have been lost sight of by the defendant's counsel. They have sought to clear their olient by fair means or through the conceal ment of truth. Instead of acting as though they were convinced of the innocence of their client, they have betrayed a constant desire to cover up olnu instances, and not to give the whole truth to the court. Now, if the theory be correot that the object of a lawyer is to suoceed, and that he owes no duty to tin court or the community, then is he justified in resorting to every arti&oe to cheat Justioe of her due, provided he receives a suflioienWy large fee. Bat we cannot believe that suoh is the real attitude which the mem ber of the bar Bhould bear to the court. lie is its sworn officer. lie takes an oath to do what f To merely be faithful to his olient ? No. To be faithful to both the court and his client. And further, "Not to delay the ends Of justioe for luore or malice." U it in con formity with that oath that he resorts to every means to secure delay, to exolude facts, and to prejudloe the jury? We think sot; and believe that, whatever may be the opinion of some, the great ma of lawyer unite in holding that the ends of justice are the first which call him, as a sworn offljer of the law, to seek to find. Yet, with all the re sorts to desperate efforts, the defense of Twitthell has not succeeded in breaking the fearful link of circumstantial evidence with whioh he la surrounded. It stands there, each liok a trill a, but all united in a chain whioh Her cules could not free himself from with all hU strength. Whatever doubt may have been felt over the question of guilt or innouenoe of the aconsed, it received a destructive shock in the testimony of Dr. Levis. The blood upon the shirt, even had he been wearing it at tun time he carried the body in, could not huce come from contact with the corpse. It was sprinkled blood, which must have stained the linen when it spurted out from some objot. When t did so, and what was the objeot from whioh t oame, and what caused it to come in that manner, cause fearful inferences to be drawn Yet with all this, the defense seeks an ac quittal by proving good character previous to the murder. What does general reputation amount to in contradiction to crime perpe trated f Did nit Dr. Webster of Boston stand irreproaohable in the eyes of the world, and did bis character save him, or was he unjustly treated f No, against one such event out ward appearances avail not a straw's weight. It has been argued that a man cannot be hung on circumstantial evidence. It is a usual thing in our Oyer and Terminer. It seems to us, not many months since, with a haste admitting of no delay, a oripple and a fanatio were led to the gallows for murdering two old women. What was the charaoter of the evi dence on which Winnemore and Qottleib Wil liams were hung f Did any one see them do the deed t Did any motive adequate to it ap " pear at the trial f Was the absence of motive a good defense f No. One was hung for mur dering a woman who had always treated him kindly, and by whose death he oould only be a loser; the other for killing another old woman to get possession of two dollars. These were all the motives assigned. No one saw either do the deed. The door of the house was opened by Winnemore, and he was found alone with the murdered woman. On that evidence he was hung. Is there no similarity between the two cases? The door of the house oorner of Tenth and Pine is opened by Twitohell, and he found alone in the house with his wife and the murdered woman. An objeot in her death Is plainly shown. The possession of $20,000 worth of property Is the goal sought to be arrived at. Yet one was hung through the exertions of the rery oonosel who now deelares that olroumstautlal evidenoe Bhould not hang the other. We do not say that Winnemore was not guilty, although we always had serious doubts on the subject; but certainly, by a parity of reason. log, if olroumstantial evidenoe be sufficient to bang the one, the same kind of evidenoe should hold against the other in the same pro portion of responsibility. Why is it that Winnemore went to his death without a tithe el the straining of law and hunting np of ob jections whioh Twitohell secured by his gold f The one was not worth $10 in the world, the other Is baoked by $20,000 at least. Shall justice be dealt to them differently f We hope, we believe not. If the proof already given to oonneot Twitohell with the crime b not rebutted, an acquittal would be but a stimulus to other wealthy orimlnals, and would expose, not unjustly, the courts of jus tice to the remark that "money can murder with Impunity, while poverty must swing for it." We favor the meting out to every one, be he a beggar or a millionaire, the same exaot punishment or reward as the fabled goddess measured to all the world. Monument Untitling;. Tub Idea of perpetuating the fame of our great men by means of "monumental brass and storied urn" has never found much favor in this country. When a prominent statesman or soldier dies and sometimes before he is dead there are always a number of enthusi asts admirers who rush before the public with their subscription papers for raising funds for a monument upon whioh may be reoorded the story of his deeds of valor or patriotlo servloes for the benefit of posterity. At first there is considerable enthusiasm manifested, and money comes In from all quarters with the most gratifying rapidity, but before the neces sary amount is raised the interest in the scheme dies out, and the whole matter would be entirely forgotten if discontented sub scribers who are anxious to hare some return for their money did not write fretful letters to the newspapers inquiring what had beoome of the funds. In faot, we are very muoh die posed to think that monument building is a pursuit for which the Amerioan people have no particular taste or inclination, and we also have our doubts with regard to the utility of monuments in this age of the printing press and telegraph. If our great men cannot say with Horaoe, "Exegi monumentum are perennial," they will scarcely be held in loving remembranos by their countrymen although marbles innume rable were insoribed with their names and achievements. Monuments are the devices of a past and very different age from ours, and it is no sign that we do not reverence our heroic dead that we hesitate and delay over the various monumental projeots that hare bseu started for the purpose of doing them honor. It is in the highest degree discreditable, how ever, that so many half-finished work3 of this kind should be scattered all over the country, and before any new monuments are oom. menced, it is worth while to consider whether it would not be better to complete some of those that we have on hand. Opposite to the President's House, in Wash ington, there is a square pillar, whioh a stranger might easily imagine was a ouriouj ruin which we had inherited from a pre-hlstorlo sge, but which a resident of the oapital will inform ns is the first half of a stupendous national monument to the Father of his Country. The oorner-stone of this struoture was laid some twenty years ago, and the work upon it progressed by slow de grees until the funds ran out, and nothing has been done upon it for half a soore of years at least, and it now stands an unfinished ruin, an eyesore to everybody, and a dlsgraoe to the nation. Washington Monument Associations have been formed In nearly every city of the Union, but with one or two exceptions none of them have suoceeded in aooomplishing any thing. The Amerioan people revere the name of Washington to-day as muoh as they ever did, although if a stranger was to judge, of our esteem for his memory by our monuments, he ' would easily imagine that we held it but lightly in our regards. A national monument to Mr. Linooln has been talked about aud talked about, but whether it will ever advanoe so far even as the oorner-stone laying appears to be a matter of considerable doubt. That suoh a struoture would do anything to advanoe the fame of Mr. Lincoln we do net believe, and unless there is sufficient money in hand to finish it in a proper manner, it had muoh better never be com menced. As for the monument to Mr. Linooln in this city, whioh was muoh talked of at the time of his death, and for whioh considerable money was oolleoted, nothing has been heard for so long a time that we feel almost justified in concluding that we shall scarcely see it completed in our day. The monumental works whioh adorn most of the European cities have been erected under government ausploeB, and we think that, on the whole, it would be better that this should be the case in this oountry. Why not make the capitol a Valhalla wherein to enshrine our illustrious dead? Let Green hough's statue of Washington be removed from its open air position opposite to the east ern front of the Capitol to the centre of the rotunda, where it belongs, and let the statues of the other Presidents, when they pass away from earth, surround it. There are nlohes throughout the Capitol building whioh might be appropriately filled by statues of other great men; and if the rule was adopted that no man should be entitled to a place among the ohosen heroes of the nation until a lapse of twenty ye us had assured us that his fame rested on a sure and permanent basis, and that a solemn rote of the Senate and Hon se of Representatives should be neoessary to place his statue in a niche of the Capitol, we would be able to have a monumental gal lery that we oould point to with pride, and whioh would supersede the ill-oonsldered structures, like the National .Washington Monument, which ill-advised enthusiasm has oommenoed, but has never been able to.fialaa. A I'aeleae Speculation. . Wi publish elsewhere the particulars of the recent suicide in Chloago of a lady who was reported to hare been a widowed sister-in-law of Charles Dickens. When the telegraphlo paragraph announcing the nnhappy end of Mrs. Dickens first appeared, it gave rise to a great deal of comment, which, In the main, was anything but flattering to the humanity of the great noreltet. James Oordon Bennett, who never forgives an injury especially suoh an injury as he imagined himself to sustain by figuring as the editor of the New York Rowdy Journal yrtg, as a matter of course, the most bitter in his saroastlo remarks upon the sub jeot, among whioh we find the following: "Considering the abounding benevolence o' Mr. Dickens as a writer of Christmas Carols, and otLer sentimental stories, is not the death of this poor widow on Christmas Eve a theme for the most touching Christmas Carol ever produced!" The New York Times whose editor appears to have forgotten all about hi former associa tions with the New York Rowdy Journal, nnder the guise of Mr. Jefferson Brick took a diffe rent view of the subject, based on the follow ing paragraph: "We believe that tbe wife of Mr. Augustus Dickens is atll living in Knaland.and has been supported by Charles Dickon ever since her buanand caoie lo this country In company wlin tbe lady whose decease U now announoed." If there is any trnth in this assertion of the Times, Mr. Dickens is oertainly relieved from all the odium that would have attaohed itself to his name in connection with the melan choly affair. Until it is proved beyond all doubt that the Chioago suicide was the lawful sister-in-law of Mr. Dickens, all speculation upon his lack of benevolenoe aud oommon humanity is held in abeyanoe. But if the assertion of the Times should prove true, the name of the great novelist is relieved from reproach only at the expense of his deal bro ther's reputation. Altogether, the subjeot is one with a very nnhappy bearing.
