THE DRILL rARDON.
The more the pardon of Brill by Governor
Geary is considered the more indefensible does
it appear, and it is astonishing to find Re
publican journals that profess to have a re
gard for decency and virtue attempting to
extenuate the Governor's action. It is alleged
that Brill is an old man, that he has a family
depending upon him, and that his pardon was
asked for by a large number of "influential"
citizens, whose importunities his Ezoellency
John W. Geary could not possibly refuse to
listen to all of which reasons for pardon
would be equally as forcible if urged in
behalf of any burglar or murderer now con
fined in the penitentiary. If Brill is not too
old to commit crime he is not too old
to suffer the full penalty, and he
should have thought of his family
befere committing the deed for whioh
he was tried, convicted, and sentenced.
If Brill had been a Democrat, and Geary the
chosen representative of the "unterrified"
instead of being a shining light of Republi
canism, we can well imagine the howl of in
dignation that would have gone up from the
journals which are now endeavoring to repre
sent this last abuse of the pardoning power
as a commendable action. It is because Brill
is a hanger-on of the Republican party, and
because he allowed himself to be made use of
by certain trading politicians of the Republi
can party to defeat the wishes of the people
in their favor, that the attempt is now being
made to apologize for the action of the Gov
ernor. The principle in a matter of this kind
is the seme, however, whether the offenders
profess to call tnemselves .Republicans or
Democrats; and it certainly does not look
very well for Republicans to abuse
the Democrats for fraudulent prao
tices at elections wnen tney exoase
the same kind of performances if their own
party is benefited. If the Republican party
cannot maintain its asoendanoy without bal
lot-box stuffing, repeating, and the falsifies.
tion ef election returns, the sooner it gives
way to the Democracy the better, and the
surest wav to brine the party to destruction
is to countenance the commission of just
such crimes. There are attached to every
party hosts of unprincipled political trick'
sters, whose only principles are to be on the
winning side and to fill their own pockets
at all hazards. Brill was the pliant instru
ment of an unscrupulous ring of men who
have disgraced the Republican party of this
city ever since its organization, and it was
at their dictation that Geary granted the
pardon. That the Governor is conscious of
the fact that this transaction will not bear
inspection is demonstrated, to our satisfao
tion at least, by the peremptory refusal of the
State Department to permit the papers in the
Brill case to be published. If this pardon
was a proper one, and if it had been prooared
by proper means, there not only would not be
any necessity for concealment, but the Gov
ernor would only be too glad to vindic ite
himself by showing upon what grounds, and
at whose solicitation, the pardon was granted
Election frauds should be punished to the full
extent of the law, no matter who commits
them or to what party he may profess to
belong. It is the duty of decent men of all
parties to aid in bringing to punishment
Buch offenders as Brill, and it is disgraceful
that the Governor of this Commonwealth, at
the bidding of a few party hacks, who will
throw him overboard without mercy when
they are done with him, should, for the Bake
of an insincere compliment at the hands of a
Dartv convention, abuse the prerogative of
pardon and practically make himself an apolo
gist for such a crime as that for which Brill
was convicted.
AMENDMENT OF THE LIDBL LAW.
A bill was introdu ce 1 in the State Senate
yesterday which proposed to bo amend the
law of libel that in all prosecutions it Bhall be
competent for the defense to produce testi
mony to prove the truthf olness of the alleged
libel, and tht its publication was not
prompted by malice, but was for the publio
benefit. Such a change of the law would
apparent'y still leave to courts and juries the
power to determine whether the offending
publibher could thoroughly justify his ob
noxious publication; and the spirit
of the age, as well as the important
public duties performed by news
papers ,demands some such modification. For
wanton, malicious, unnecessary, and inju
rious newspaper attacks upon private cha
racter it is right that private citizens should
have a speedy and certain remedy; and it is
right that a tolerably severe libel law Bhould
be left upon the statute books to furnish the
means of redress against such wrongs. On
the other band, the freedom of newspaper
comment on publio events, publio questions,
public officials, and aspirants for offi.e U the
vital eaaonoe of a genuine republic n
system of government, because it is
folly to talk of a people governing a nation,
State, or city, if all the facta affeotlng snob.
government are not freely and clearly dis
closed through the agency of the press. Th
existing laws and constitutional guarantees
provide for free comment on officials, offioe-
hunters, and governmental affairs. But
there is a large, legitimate domain of news
paper comment in which the press is not so
well protected as it should be. It has beoome
one of its accepted duties to expose frauds of
various descriptions, and to aid
in the detection of crime. In
assisting the officers of justice to track down
a fugitive murderer, in unearthing dens of
iniquity, in calling the attention of Courts
and juries, as well as Legislatures and Con
gresses, to crying evils, it is forever laboring
to promote the best interests of the body
politic. Sometimes, however, in discharging
these duties, mistakes are inadvertently made
and injuries are inflicted upon innocent pri
vate individuals; but it seems only fair and
just that where the publisher can prove that
his statements were true, or that they were
made for an unquestionably good purpose,
such considerations should be allowed to
have due weight with a jury. The
control of newspapers sometimes passes
into the hands of utterly reckless men, who
do not hesitate to wantonly assail pi irate
character or to publish unblushing false
hoods; and it is to the interest of all properly
conducted newspapers, as well as the publio,
that the courts should furnish a speedy
remedy for such journalistic outrages. Even
the truth, so far as it is applicable to private
character, should not be published, unless
some important pubiio purpose is to be
served thereby. But if an expert pickpocket
visits a country town for the express
purpose of plying bis nefarious
vocation, surely an editor should
not be punished as a libeller for putting his
readers on their guard against such a rascal.
and denied an opportunity alike of proving
the guilt of the pickpocket and the good mo
tive which induced the publication. So, in a
hunt for a murderer. The whole country was
excited over the Nathan murder. Various in
dividuals were suspected, and the supplied
proofs of their guilt were freely discussed.
As the law now stands several of these sus
pected persons can institute a series of libel
suits, with a fair prospect of success; but it is
not just, after the newspapers aid in tracking
down many real criminals, that they should
be continually liable to punishment for their
occasional mistakes.
Fortunately for the press, its most import
ant rights are guaranteed by constitutional
provisions. But in the details and forms of
legal proceedings against it, there is still re
tained some of the worst machinery of the
common law of England, which was devised
for the express purpose of destroying the
liberty of journalism.. All such antiquated,
arbitrary, and iniquitous relics of English
despotism should be destroyed.
THE PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
Tee bill introduced yesterday by Mr. Nagle,
and promptly passed by the Senate, will not
answer, and the Washington Square property-
holders and the members of the Legislature
may as well make up their minds to the fact
that all the publio buildings must and will be
put up on Fenn Square. Mr. Nagle's bill,
by authorizing the construction of the muni
cipal offices on the four Fenn Squares,
and by retaining the courts and their
offices in their present locality, praotically
surrenders to the Washington Square ring
most of what they ask for; and it is, like all
the other bills introduced at the present
session of the Legislature, a disgraceful trick
to defeat the expressed wishes of the people
of this city. Property must be very valuable
in the neighborhood of Washington and lade
pendence Squares, or the holders of it could
not be able to pay in the manner they are
doing to carry their point.
But, after all, money cannot do everything,
and although the Senate is willing to do the
bidding of the anti-Penn Square ring, the
House is not yet captured, nor is it likely to
be. There is some force yet in publio opinion,
and certain Philadelphia members of the
Legislature have too much regard for their
future political prospects to dare to upset the
verdict of the people of this city as expressed
at the October election.
Apart from every other consideration, it
would be a piece of utter folly to attempt to
divide the publio offices in the manner pro
posed by the Nagle bill. If the publio build
irjes are to be put up with a regard for
economy; if they are to be heated, lighted,
ventilated, and cared for economically; and if
they are to be architectully ornamental to
the city, they must be together, and the only
proper site for them is at the intersec
tion of Broad and Market streets, just
where the commissioners have proposed
to put them, with the approbation
of all the citizens of Philadelphia exoept cer
tain property-holders who are interested in
other localities and certain old fog e who
make it a point to protest against every pub
lio improvement that may be proposed. The
Negle bill is nothing but the mean trick of
men who are determined to rule or ruin, and
. 1 1 A Of i
it is tne last aesperaie en on oi an unscrupu
lous ring of interested persons who are
determined to leave nothing undone to carry
their point and to prevent the publio buildings
from being plaoed where the people of Phila
delphia have decided that they should be
The only proper disposition that can be made
of this bill is for the House to squelch it in
the same manner that it did its predecessors.
This we are certain will be done, and with the
failure of their last attempt to upset the
popular verdict of last October, it is to be
hoped that the antl-renn Bqnaritea will be
foroed to come to the conclusion that it is no
use for them longer to kick against the
pricks, and that they bad better give up their
project for placing any of the publio build
ings upon either Washington or Independence
Square as a bad job.
It is announced tbe-t the aocennts of the-
United States Navy Department in England
have been transferred from the house of
Baring Brothers k Co. to the recently-eRtab-
lished house of Jy Cooke, MoCulloch Js
Co., at London. Baring Brothers have had
the management of these funds for over thirty
years, and the change is a very flattering
recognition of the new firm. The other
United States accounts, held for a lon$ time
by English bouses, will tAao at no distant
period be placed in the hands of Amorican
brokers. The house of Jay Cooke, McCnl
loch k Co., although but recently established,
has already won for itself a first-class reputa
tion among the great English financial firms.
HP. DEMOCRACY.
Captalu Jmn II. Cooper, tfc Candldnte
lor survcyor-ucneraJ.
Captain James u. Cooper, of Lawrence county,
who received the nomination for Surveyor-General
at the recent Democratic State convention, is a
native of Allegheny county. Losing both h!J
parents In early life, he had something of a struggle
with the world, and is what la known as a "self-made-man."
At the outbreak of the Kebelllon he enlisted'
as a private in a company which was recruited in
Lawrence county, and afterwards became well
known as Battery B, of the 1st Artillery, Tennsyl
van! a Reserves. Mr. Cooper was chosen orderly
sergeant at the start, and was chosen' captain on
the reorganization of the regiment to which it was
attached. Captain Cooper participated with his bat
tery in all the campaigns of the Army of the Po
tomac from the beginning of the war until August,
1884, when he returned home, on the expiration of
his term of enlistment. On being musterel out the
officers of the other batteries of the regiment joined
in recommending him for the colonelcy, this recom
mendation being endorsed by General Meade and
other officers of high rank.
Captain Cooper has never held any civil office. At
the organization of the present Legislature, he was
made the Democratic candidate for Sergeant-at-
Arms of the House of Representatives, bat the Re
publicans having a fair majority, was defeated, as
a matter of course. At the same time, the Republi
can Senators cast their votes for him for Sergeant-at-Arms
of the upper branch of the Legislature,
hoping to attract one or two Democratic votes, and
thus defeat the caucus nominee of the Majority.
Captain Cooper, however, was too true a party man
to attempt to slip into office in this flanking fashion,
and his Involuntary candidacy in the Senate was a
failure. Ills friends claim for him unquestioned in
tegrity and fine business qualifications. Being hap
pily unknown to the people of the (state In civil life,
this claim must be allowed to pass for the present.
OBITUARY.
Mgr. Darboy, Archbishop of Pnols.
A cable telegram from Versailles states that on
Tuesday night the Archbishop or Paris, ten hos
tages, and nearly fifty priests, were murdered in
cold blood by the Communists at Mazas prison. As
this announcement comes in the shape of a
special despatch to the New York World,
which Is exceedingly given to sensationalism
In Its European specials, there is some probability
that It is nothing more than a street rumor, aud that
the wretches who have laid the Quest buildings of
rarls in ashes have not been guilty of this crowning
infamy. If it should prove true that Archbishop
Darboy and his companions in prl-on have been
murdered, as stated, the Communal revolt of 1370
will deserve to outrank the Reign of Terror of the
First Revolution In downright infamy.
Georges Darboy, D. D., was born at Fayl-BUlot, lu
the Department of Haut-Marne, on the 16th of
January, U13, being a fellow-countryman of Mgr.
Morlot. He was lor some time Professor of Philo
sophy and Dogmatic Theology in the Ecclesiastical
Seminary of LaDgres. In 1S40 he went to Paris,
where he was appointed by Mgr. Affre chaplain to
the College Henri IV. Mgr. Slbour made him hono
rary vicar, with the mission of inspecting the rell
glous instruction in the colleges of the diocese
These different functions brought him in relation
with a very large number of families, and procured
him friends in various quarters. In 1804 he accom
panied Mgr. Slbour to Rome to take part in the defi
nition of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception ;
was named by the Emperor to the Episcopal See of
Nancy in 1669; and was promoted to the Archepis-
copateof Paris In January, 1S63. He is known as
the author of "Lea Fein rues de la Bible," "L'Intro.
ductien a l imitation de Jesus Christ," and other
works. Mgr. Darboy received the Cross of the Le-
gioa of Honor, August 11, isco, and was promoted
Grand Officer, August 14, 1SC3.
Archbishop Darboy has long enjoyed the reputa
tion of being a man of extremely liberal views,
both as the head of the see of Piris and as a mem
ber of the French Senate under the Empire, which
position he held by virtue oi ins arcniepiscopai or
flee. In November, 1867, he made
a speech on the Roman question
which created a profound sensation and served to
alienate him from the Pope and the favor of the
Roman hierarchy. The liberal position taken by
him In the Hyaelnthe troubles, last year, tended but
little to restore him to Papal favor.
Since then the Archbishop had not appeared pro
minently In public affairs nntu the outbreak of the
Communal revolt. On the 7th of April ho was ar
rested by the Communal authorities, In company
with his sister and the cures of several Paris
churches. Every article of value in their habitations
was carried off, their resideuces being literally
sacked. The Archbishop was conducted to Mazas
prison, where he was Immured in a cell about six
feet bj ten in dimensions, and lighted by one small
window. He was allowed to receive his food from
his friends outside the prison, but that was about
the only privilege accorded hlui. He was not per
mitred to see any newspapers or to receive in any
way intelligence of passing events. Mr.Washourne,
the American Minister, who was permitted to visit
him on April S3, was the llrst person from outside
the prison that he was suffered to see. Mr. Wash'
burne on that day Interceded In his behalf, but
could extract no concessions from the Communal
leaders, who declared that the Archbishop
was held simply as a hostage, save the permission to
visit blm freely at any time. Previous to the visit of
Mr. Washburne, the Archbishop made an appeal to
President Thiers to s'.op the cruelties with the per
petratlon of which the Commune accused the Ver
sailles Government. His appeal was couched in
touching terms. "This requett," he wrote, 'comes
from the heart of a man who of late has seen much
misery. It comes from a French heart which bleeds
at the misfortunes of our own country.
comes from a religious heart, ready to sac
rifice everything, even life, to save those whom God
has made his flock and fellow-citizen." In re
spouse to this appeal, M. Thiers wrote a letter to the
Archbishop, characterizing the allegations of era
elty on the part of the legitimate government as
absolutely faise.
Subsequent to Mr. Washburne's intercession
behalf of the Archbishop, the German authorities
made an effort to save him from the fate which
hung over him as long as he was In the power of the
Communists, threatening to interfere In the struggle
between the Government and the Commune In case
of any iuUhap to the Archbishop. Mgr. Darboy re
malned seenre until the entrance of the VersalUists
into the city, on the 8ltt instant, and the whole
civilized world will await with anxiety the confirm
atlon or denial of the report of bis brutal murder,
It la a noteworthy fact that Archbishop Darboy,
he has been murdered, will be the third Archbishop
of Paris who has met a violent death within a quar
ter of a century. Ills predecessor, Mgr. Affre, was
brutally shot during the troubles of June, 1343, after
he had taken his stand on a barricade, armed outy
with hli golden cross and an olive branch, to plead
for peace between the combatants; and still later,
another Archbishop ot Paris was aisassluated
church.
