TUESDAY, MARCH 9, 1869.
Tbe Receiver of for the Twmty
third Ward..
Sbratob Conkell's fcill to provide ft nice,
pleasant, and highly profitable office for some
particular friend In the Twenty-third ward
has passed to ft third readlDg In the State
House of Representatives, and the next we
wM probably hear of It will be In the shape
of ft law rushed throngh both houses with
that peonliar faoility for whioh the Legislature
Is noted in cases of this kind, and signed
without delay by the Governor. Senator
Connell's scheme Is that a Receiver of Tares
shall be elected speotally for the Twenty
third ward, to hold office for three years, and
to receive about $10,000 or more per annum
in the shape of salary, perquisites, etc. The
work of the offioe whioh it is proposed to
create for Senator Connell's friend how do
we know that it is not for Senator
Connellhimself T has hitherto been very satis
factorily performed under the existing ar
rangement, by whioh the regular Receiver
appoints a deputy for the Twenty-third ward,
who is responsible to him and for whom he is
responsible. There is not the shadow of a
necessity for the creation of a new offioe, and
if there was, it would be an ontrage on the
citizens of Philadelphia, and the taxpayers of
the Twenty-third ward in particular, for tha
Legislature to pass or for the Governor to
sign such a bill as that of Senator Con
nell. Mr. Connell proposes to give
his friend two and a half per cent, on all the
taxes paid in, and he is further to receive five
per oent. for the collection of all delinquent
taxes and seventy-five cents on each bill, and
lnoaseof destralnt, the same costs thatoon
Stables reoeive and three cents a mile circular
in addition. To the other perquisites is added
the sum of fifty cents, which the Receiver of
Taxes Is to pay out of the city treasury when
ever the Twenty-third ward offlolal shall far
nish him with proof that a tax has been paid
and discharged by judioial sale, and which
has not been entered upon the Receiver's
books or the registry ef taxes as having been
paid.
Under these clronmstances, the office of Re
ceiver of Taxes for the Twenty-third ward is
likely to prove a very profitable and muoh-to-be-deaired
office. A competent business man
could, in the course of his three years' term,
afford to retire and enjoy the fruits of his
labor. Senator Connell, or the friend for
whom he is exerting himself in the Legisla
ture, will have a very nioe thing of it if this
bill gets through, and that it will
get through, unless some very decided
opposition is made to it, the fact that it has
passed to ft third reading, and the whole
course ef the Legislature during the present
Bession, sufficiently indicate. The proposed
creation of this new office U an outrage on the
oitisens of Philadelphia, and we hope that the
voioe of publio opinion will restrain the mem
bers of the Legislature from obliging Senator
Connell in this matter, if nothing else wilt.
Some of them hope to visit Uarrisburg again,
and a tolerably decent record will be as much
in their favor on election day as their partisan
affiliations.
Hftwklah Sensibility for murderer
TVh understand that a movement U on foo'
among the clergymen of Philadelphia to
petition the Governor for the paid n o
Twitohell, or, if not for his pirdon, at least
for an indefinite delay of the warrant of execu
tion. We are not aware who these Christian
gentlemen are, nor do we propose to reflect
on the motives which actuate them In their
coarse. We are ready even to go so far as to
aay that they believe they are doing a good
jeed in seeking to save the life of the unfortu
nate young man. But, after making all these
o once salons, we cannot hesitate to denounce
their action as unwarranted by reason and
oppose! to justice and the publio peace. It
may be the misfortune only, or it may bs the
fault, of the cloth, that Its members are con
tinually being led, by a mistaken notion of
Christian duty, into interfering In a most re
markably silly manner; and of all their mis
judged actions, this is certainly preeminent.
Let u look at ' the state of the
criminal and of Philadelphia. The heinous
charaoter of the offense cannot be denied;
neither can ft dozen men who ate conversan
with the testimony be found to believe that
Twitohell was not guilty. Yet his pardon is
asked. Do either the records of the case or
the state of society authorize executive
clemency in his case f The whole of the de
tails of the murder were patiently examined
by twelve Jurymen. They were investigated
at great length, and by the aid of learned
counsel, and the unanimous and almost In
stantaneous result was the convlotion of the
prisoner. One Judge, impartial and able, lis
tened to all the evidence, and thought him
guilty. Four judges reviewed the law in the
entire case, and were al of the opinion that
both the law and the faots authorized the ver
dlot. Fire more Judges, the full Bano of the
Supreme Court of the State, again went over
the ground, and refused to interfere. We
need not go behind the opinion of the
twelve sworn men as to the faots and
nine able and Impartial judges as
to the law. There is nothing, therefore,
In the case Itself to call for its being set aside
j the lcutlve. Does the state of Phila
delphia warrant the exeroise of clemency at
the present time t The voioe of the whole
law-abiding people of the olty answers no.
Never before has or line been so prevalent.
Never before have so great a number of mr
ders been committed. Truly, it eeems as
though we lived in London one hundred years
ago, and were about to rHinaot the highway
adventures related in "The Tale of Two
Cities." If there continues to be suoh auda
city on the part of criminals, it will be neces
sary for each oar to have watoh armed
with ft blunderbuss to protest the travellers.
The highest crimes are oommitted without
hesitation. One oitizen is stoned to death at
4 o'olock in the afternoon by a party of boys.
Another is shot down in the streets. Another
Is assassinated in his bed-room because he was
abusing his murderer with his words. All
these show at what small value human life
is estimated. And as to leBser crimes, they
have lost all their terrors. Now,
what is the remedy for this evil condition
of affairs. Mawkish sensibility for the crimi
nal f No 1 the stern exeoutlon of the utmost
rigors of the law. There are two oonvioted
murderers in jail now. Let them both be
hung by the neck until they are dead. We
say this not as a revenge for their own orimes,
but as a means of preventing a repetition ef
the crimes in the future. It is for the safety
of society, of the innooent, of the old and de
fenseless, that we call for an exeoutlon of these
murderers. Yet all this is forgotten In the
false sympathy excited by their fate, and the
most interested class of the community the
gentle and harmless are asking for the re
spite of their own enemies. There is no
reason, no Christianity, no justice, in this.
The old Mosaic doctrine, that "whoso
sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood
be shed," is not obsolete, but its praotioal ne
cessity is daily felt. Any relaxation of it at
the present time would be a weak display of
ill-timed sympathy, and would endanger the
innocent. We trust that our clerioal friends
will confine themselves to the pulpit, and
not weaken their denunciation of sin by be
coming abettors of the sinners.
tju-kly at la Espitirnole.
More than once in the past have we bidden
farewell to Binckley, and yet in some myste
rious way this irrepressible eooentricity would
eontrive to belie our words. Now, however,
we confidently assure the world that Binokiey
has received a quietus, that he has been put
to sleep so soundly that he will know no
waking. Yesterday afternoon he received
from Mr. J. F. Hartley, the aoting Secretary
of the Treasury, a note running in this wise:
"Jobu M. Binckley, Kq., Solicitor of Intern l
llevtniif : Sir 1 am requested by the Presi
dent to Inform yon tbal your services as 8
llcltor oi Internal Revenue are no longer re
quired by ibe Government. Yon are, therefore,
hereby removed from the office."
Ttis heartless action on the part of Presi
dent Grant was in oonsequenoe of the receipt
by him of a communication from Commis
sioner RolUiu1, in whioh it was set forth that
in his estimation Binckley 1b "ft wilful per
jurer, or 60 weak and credulous as to make
him the convenient tool of. corrupt and
malicious men." In consequence of this not
very flatteiing opinion, Commissioner Rollins
states that he has not felt justified in assign
ing Binckley to any duty, and has repeatedly
requested his removal. It is further deolared
by Mr. Rollins that Binckley cannot even
claim to be a lawyer, that he never under
took to practice, and that he has not failed
to draw his monthly salary, at the rate
of $4000 per annum. In view of all these
faots, President Grant disposed of Binckley in
the manner already alluded to.
The question now arises, What will Binokiey
do about it f Will he refuse to vacate the
desk in the Treasury building in front of
which he has been so long engaged in the
highly Intellectual exeroise of dangling his
legs in idleness ? If so, it may become neces
sary for Mr. Hartley to put him through the
motions vulgarly known as walking after the
fashion prevalent in Spain. The operation is
painful when the subject is an unwilling one;
and as Binckley has displayed in a rare degree
the talent of obstinacy, we anticipate a con
siderable amount of fleshly mortification on
his part, when he starts from his desk with
an unmentionable portion of his unmention
ble garment in the firm and merciless grasp of
Mr. Hartley. When Binckley has once
reached the steps of the Treasury, another
perplexing question arises. Will he follow
Andrew Johnson to Tennessee, and be swal
lowed up " with him in the
gulf of oblivion f or will he encase
his lacerated nether limbs in a pair of seven
league boots, and go strutting through the
length and breadth of the land breathing
vengeance against the giants by whom he has
been at last discomfited f If any other living
soul save Binckley were to be subjected to
such ignominious treatment, his chivalrous
soul would rise in arms against the outrage, as
it did abont a month ago when he belched
forth such blazing words as these: "I de
clare, by the Lord, I will avenge every injured
hair of McHenry's head !" Bat in the very
epistle in which this flaming sentence ocours,
we find the following display of saintly for.
givenese: 1 J hate no man, and am destitute of
personal resentment for anything which has
been aimed at myeelfl" This, we think.
settles the whole question, and disposes us to
anticipate the emigration of the ex Solicitor
to some retired locality in the wilds of Ten
sessee. So
"Fare thee wel ! and If forever,
bill! forever fare thee well !"
Tbe City Trusts.
In another column will be found the full text
of a bill introduced yesterday In the
State Senate, to constitute a board of Directors
of City Trusts, whioh appears to be in every
way ft sensible and proper measure. The bill
provides that "all and every the duties, rights.
and powers of the city of Philadelphia in
all property and estate whatever, dedioated
to charitable uses or trusty, the charge or ad-
minktratien of whioh are now, or shall
hereafter beoome, vested In or confided to the
oity of Philadelphia," shall be dis
charged by the city through the In
strumentality of a board of fifteen oltizena, of
which the Mayor and Presidents of 8leot and
Common Counolls shall be ex officio mem
bers. The Judges of the Supreme Court, with
the Judges of the District Court and the Court
of Common Pleas, are to form a B ard of Ap
pointment, and the twelve ottlxens to be
selected by them are to serve during good
behavior.
This measure Is one that has long been
needed, for it is oertain that the oity trusts
have not been administered ai they should
be. We believe that th'e bill provides the
right means for seourinir a capable, honest,
and Intelligent board of officers, and it should
meet with no opposition In the Lfglslatnre.
