S3- The Evening Telkgraph, from
Its original establishment, lias been in the
receipt of telegraphic news from the New
York Associated Press, which consists ot
the Tribune, Times, Herald, World,
Sun, Journal of Commerce, Evening Tost,
Commercial Advertiser, and Evening Ex--press.
The success which has attended
our enterprise is, in itself, a sufficient evi
dence of the freshness, fullness, and relia
bility of the news which wc have received
from this source. Last March we entered
Into a special contract by which The
Evening Telegraph has the exclusive
use of the news furnished in the afternoon
by the Associated Press to its own members,
the North American, Inquirer, Ledger,
Press, Age, Record, and German Democrat,
of this city, and the leading journals of the
East, North, West and South; and hereafter
The Telegraph will be the only evening
paper published in this city in which the
afternoon despatches of the Associated
Press will appear.
aT The earliest regular edition of Toe
Evening Telegraph goes to presa at
o'clock, and the subsequent regular editions
at 2 J, 3 J, and A . Whenever there is im
portant news of the progress of the Euro
pean war, extra editions will be issued aftor
this hoar, and before the regular time for the
early edition.
1UR CONSTITUTIONAL CONVEN
110N. We are glad to notice that the proposed Con
vention continues to attract the favorable
attention of a number of journals in the in
terior, and that the necessity for a radical
revision of the fundamental law of the Com
monwealth is generally acknowledged. The '
ultimate success of this movement will de
pend in a large degree upon the spirit in
which it is conducted and the char
acter of the delegate chosen by
the people. It is possible that the Constitu
tion might in some respects be injured in
stead of being improved, and weak or bad
men would affect a Convention as injuriously
as they affect the Legislature. What is
needed is that the best members of both
parlies should make an earnest endeavor to
promote the interests of the people, and if
the voters of Pennsylvania improve the op
portunity likely to be presented, this great
end can be secured. But already hints are
thrown out that some of the Democrats will
make a desperate effort to have the Registry
law abrogated by the convention, that attempts
will be made to overthrow some of the existing
restrictions upon corporations, and in various
other ways private axes will be ground. It is
far better, ho svever, to incur the risk of such
dangers, against which the people have the
sure safeguard afford I by an opportunity to
vote down an obnoxious new Constitution,
than to suffer the present Constitution to re
main unamended. It is vitally important
that deliverance from the existing evils should
e energetically sought, and in addition to
the various reform propositions to which we
have heretofore referred, it is perhaps desir
able that provision should be made for the
election by popular vote of a Lieutenant
Governor, as well as for a restraint of the
pardoning power, which has been sadly
abused by our Executives. The most import
ant object to be obtained, however, is the
reformation of the Legislature. If a plan
ran be devised whereby good men can be
sent to Harrisburg to pass good general laws,
they will correct evils as they are developed
from time to time. We know of no consti
tutional change which seems so likely to
effect this end as an increase in the number
of members. Practically this system works
well in New England, many of her best citi
zen being every year chosen as legislators.
The objection is made in some quarters that
an increase of the number of members would
convert the Legislature into a mere mob;
but the proceedings of the National
House of Uepresentatives, containing nearly
two hundred and fifty members,
of the British House of Commons,
which oontains more than sii hundred and
fifty members, and of the National Conven
tions of the Republican and Democratio par
ties, prove the fallacy of this objection. In
large deliberative bodies men of real talent
generally attain leadership, donkeys and im
beciles are coughed down, and comprehen
sive measures of general importance are much
more apt to be considered than petty private
bilk. In our present Legislature the real
leaders are notorious mainly for their ve
nality; useful publio laws never receive atten
tive consideration; the publio interests are
habitually neglected; and the bodies now an
nually assembled in the Capitol at Hairiabarg
thus lack the very characteristics which en
larged membership seems to give to national
conventions, the House of Representatives,
po.1 tUc Jloast of Coauaoas.
HIE DEMOCRA TIG PROGRAMME.
The Democratic politicians of New York
have made up their minds to claim not merely
the leadership of the party, in a general
sense, but the next Presidential nominee.
To answer the objections likely to arise from
Seymour'B candidacy in 18M, with its disas
trous consequences, the World alleges that
that nomination was forced upon the last
National Convention by the Western Demo
cracy despite Seymour's protests and the
oppobition of the New York delegation. Tam
many and Tweed havo set their virtuous
hearts upon the nomination of John T.
Hoffman. lie has been the serviceable tool
of the rascals of his party in New York city
and in Albany, and millions of money will be
wrung from the New York tax-payers to pro
mote the present intrigue for enthroning him
nt Washington. The Democracy of the future
is to be embodied in Hoffman, Tree-trade,
and Tammany thievery. By the revenue
reform movement, which has already weak
ened Republican strength in several im
portant quarters, the Twoeditos hope
to promote the additional Northern de
fections which are necessary to secure
Democratic ascendancy, while in the
South selfish and wrangling Republican
leaders are rapidly paving the way for the
complete overthrow of the Republican party.
Uinler this programme Pennsylvania is
marked out as a victim from the out set.
Her industrial interests are to be sacrificed
for the benefit of the New York importing
houses and European manufacturers, and the
influence of her Democracy, in Democratic
councils, is to be overshadowed by
the commanding decrees of their tri
umphant New York brethren. Those
circumstances, however, fortunately iucrease
the chances for continuing Republican as
cendancy in Pennsylvania at the moment
when the necessity for securing her aid in
the next Presidential election becomes im
perative. If the late Congressional contests
are to be regarded as a test of publio senti
ment, the loss of the Keystone State in 1872
would bo fatal to the Republican party. If she
follows New Y'ork, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri,
Tennessee, Virginia, Florida, and Alabama
into the Democratic camp, the Dmo:ritio
party will regain control of the National Gov
ernment; and the great political necessity of
the hour is to strengthen Republicanism in
this Commonwealth. Since the attempt to
redeem New Y'ork has proved a dead failure,
there is no more important field for patriot
ism, prudence, and partisan efforts than this
neglected Cinderella of the Atnorioan sis
terhood. A BUREAU OF NAVAL JUSTICE.
Plato wrote a rather extensive work for the
purpose of defining justice, but, the impossi
ble commonwealth by means of which alone
he concluded that abstract justice could be
realized, presented a good many peculiar fea
tures that we Americans, who live under a
lepublio that is some degrees removed from
ideal perfection, would consider manifestly
unjust. There is a good deal of injustice
under our system, undoubtedly, and if ab
stract justice cannot be realized under either
an ideal or a practical republic, the advocates
for fair play and no favors may well conclude
that they have a task before them as endless
as that of Sisyphus. By a reasonable amount
of vigilance in looking out for our own inte
rests, we in civil life can, however, as a rule,
manage to pass through the world without
being called upon to seriously specu
late upon Plato's problem; but there
are a good many evidences to prove
that in our military service, and especially in
the naval branch of it, a clear and definite
understanding of what the word justice means
is sadly needed. It is therefore with a cor
tain amount of satisfaction that we note the
fact that the first steps have been taken for
the organization of a Bureau of Justice-!
the Navy Department, and we sincerely hope
that the results it will achieve will be com-'
mensurate with the importance of the subject '
over which it will have jurisdiction. Can
didly, we have no very great iaea that this
Bureau will immediately, at least, accomplish
a great deal in the way of convincing officers
who nit upon courts-martial that certain
clearly defined laws of Congress, no less than
the abstract principles of justice, ought to
guide their deoisioos, and not their own
individual or class prejudices. The whole pre
sent organization of the navy, its traditions
and its system of training, which commences
from the first hour that a midshipman sets
his foot in the Acadeny at Annapolis, forbid
us to hope that any average naval court-martial
will be able to judge the offenses of an Ad
miral according to the same standard as those
of a common sailor. A bureau presided over
by old line officers, hardened in the traditions
and prejudices of their class, is not exactly
the place where a court-martial finding and
sentence will be likely to receive impartial
revision. But while our expectations of good
to be accomplished by the proposed
bureau 'are not particularly exalted,
we do expect considerable edification
from the report which the Secretary of the
Navy has ordered Rear-Admiral A. A. II ar
wood and Captain W. G. Temple to make for
the information of Congress and the country.
These officers have just been named Judge
Advocate and Assistant Judge-Advocate of
the Navy, and their appointment is considered
the first step towards the organization of a
Bureau of Justioe in the Navy Department.
In order te provide them with employment
the Secretary has directed that they shall re
view all the records of triaU in the navy,
whether by general or summary courts, and
advise the Secretary in regard to the proceed
ings and sentence in each case.
If Admiral Harwood and Captain Temple
do their work thoroughly, their report will be
interesting if not agreeable reading, and it
will prove to an astonished comntry that the
proceedings, the findings, and the sentences
of naval courts-martial in innumerable in
stances have beea marked by the most fla
grant injustice and violation of the rights of
peucxs ec;ecl of omcuv3 against military
law. To go no further baok than the war
for the suppression of the Rebellion, the
records of the Navy Department will show how
SecretaryWelles repeatedly set aside sentences
of naval courts-martial because they were con
trary to law, and how the stinging rebukes
that he administered time and again to the
officers comprising such courts were unable
to produce any decided reform in the admin
istration of naval justice.
As specimen nuggets from the mine in
which the new naval Judge Advooate and his
assistant have been directed to work, we may
mention the case of Surgeon Greene, who
was convicted and sentenced for the high
crime and misdemeanor of refusing to de
clare a sick mnn well at tbe bidding of his
commanding officer; the case of Lieutenant-.
Commander Seely, who was convicted of out
rageous cruelty to seamen under his com
mand, and who was merely sentenced to a
reprimand from the Secretary end to suspen
sion for a few months; this sentence was
essiLtinlly the same as that in Dr. Greene's
ense, and it was only procured by the Secre
tary sending the findings of the court back
for revision several times. It is worthy of
note also that Seely's commjnding officer,
who was responsible to a great extent
for his performances, was never
put on trial at all; and the case of
Second Assistant Engineer William Pol
lard, who was expelled from the service not
withstanding the fact that not a single tech
nical offense was proven against him. He
was cashiered by a court-martial upon
"general principles," because some of his
superior officers considered him a nuisance in
persistently sticking for his legal rights, and
refusing to allow himself to be overriden.
The injustice of the sentence in Mr. Pollard's
case was recognized clearly by Congress,
which passed a law at its last session au
thorizing his reinstatement.
The two first cases we have mentioned are
tolerably familiar to the public, and they are
excellent examples of the manner in which
naval justice is administered in the different
cases of line and staff officers, and an im
partial public may well inquire, if such a dis
crepancy exists in the application of the rules
of law and equity to line and staff officers of
about equal rank, what must be the difference
between the treatment that an Admiral and a
common sailor are likely to receive from a
court of naval gentlemen sworn to judge im
partially according to the law and
the evidence ? That a Bureau of
Justice in the Navy Department
will accomplish much towards reforming the
state of affairs we have indicated we do not
believe, but if the report of Admiral Harwood
and Captain Temple is properly prepared, it
may call the attention of Congress aud the
country to a great wrong that ought to be reme
died, and may prevent the passage of a law
that will do away with some of the obsolete
features of courts-martial that are disgraceful
to the civilization of tho age, and that will
provide some system of trying persons ac
cused of military offenses under which they
may have reasonable expectations of receiv
ing justice with as much certainty as they
would receive it in the civil courts.
If anything can add to the satisfaction felt
by the citizens of Philadelphia in paying that
portion of their tax bills which goes to the
support of the police, it will be the redaction
that some of these gentlemen are so full of
patriotism that the confines of the city and
State are too narrow for its exhibition. To
what better use can we put our munioipal
funds than the payment of men who foment
riots at a Camden election ?
