THE TERRIBLE TRA GED 7 AT WEST
PITTSTON.
The terrible tragedy at West Pittston on
Saturday, resulting in the death of a number
of miners, and abounding with heart-rending
Boenes of agony, affords a painful new illus
tration of the necessity of adopting more
effective legal measures to prevent similar
calamities. It is stated that, under the exist
ing laws, only twenty men, at most, should
have been at work in the West Pittston mine,
and that the mine inspector of the distriot had
given an official notification of this fact; and
yet thirty-seven dead, dying, and fearfully
injured men have been raised out of this ter
rible shaft. It is bad enough that the aoci
dent occurred at all, that a single life was
jeopardized, but a fearful load of guilt at
taches to those who have nearly doubled the
proportions of the calamity by a direot de
fiance of a clear provision of existing statutes.
If this aot can be traced to those entrusted
with the management of the mine, no punish
ment of their fearful guilt will be too severe;
and even if the unfortunate miners wilfully
connived at an evasion of the law, that fact
should not shield those men who controlled
their operations. The Avondale disaster im
pressed even tardy legislators with the neces
sity of having a law passed for the protection
of life in the mining districts. The West
Pittston tragedy should teach courts and juries
that it might be rigidly enforced, even
if its enforcement requires reckless operators
of mines to be imprisoned for life or to be
bung as murderers. The mining question
has many sides, and though the miners, as a
body, have been guilty of numerous outrages,
the State cannot ignore its duty of shielding
them from the appalling dangers that un
scrupulous capitalists impose. One of the
surest ways to reform the miners, and to in
spire them with a proper feeling towards their
employers and to the community at large, is
to prove to them that the strong arm of the
Commonwealth is ever ready to shield them
from unnecessary dangers, and to avenge
such of their associates as are sacrificed by a
wanton neglect to provide proper precautions
for their safety.
ADJOURNMENT OF THE SENATE.
Tee Senate of the United States adjourned
, on Saturday, after having performed the
work for which it was called together, by
ratifying the treaty of Washington without
amendment, and after having afforded an
admiring world considerable entertainment
by a low comedy performance entitled Sus
taining the Dignity of the Senate, which, ap
parently, was more amusing to the public at
large than it was satisfactory to the prinoipal
actors. A large portion of the time of
the Senate which should nave been
passed in the discussion of the treaty was
devoted to a vain attempt to discover how
the document was made public, and, after an
infinite amount of bluster and violent threats,
which did not appear to have a very terrifying
effect upon the newspaper correspondents
who had insulted the dignity of the Senate,
the investigation ended about where it
began. . The correspondents, who had
the sympathies of the country with them
throughout, obstinately refused to tell what
the Senatorial inquisitors desired to know, and
the upshot of the whole matter was that their
release was ordered on Saturday, and the
Senate adjourned without sustaining its dig
nity. The moral of this whole affair is that
extra-judicial investigations of any kind are
intensely repugnant to the people of the
United States and to the genius of our repub
lican institutions, and the power whioh some
of the Senators claimed to punish contuma
cious witnesses by unlimited confinement, on
bread and water, in the common jail, is one
that ought not to be exercised in a free
country like this. In all cases of punishment
for contempt the sympathies of a very large
portion of the publio are always with the
sufferer, even in very extreme cases, where
punishment seems to be well deserved, for
the good and sufficient reason that there is a
proper feeling that no citizen ought
to be punished by fine or imprisonment
except after trial and conviction in open
court. This feeling has been intensified by
the multitude of investigations whioh have
been ordered by the Senate and House of
Representatives during the past few years,
many of which have evidently been prompted
by other motives than a desire to serve the
publio interests, while nearly all of them have
been conducted as if the desire was not to
elicit the truth, but to establish foregone
conclusions; witnesses have been brow-beaten
by Congressional ruffians, and have been re
quired to make categorical answers to ques
tions artfully prepared for concealing the
truth; and in a hundred ways the practioe of
conducting investigations by Congressional
committees has been abused and brought into
discredit. It is sincerely to be hoped that
the late perfotaaanoes of the Senate will have
i the effect of puvjng a check upon the desire
some members tt Congress are afflicted
with to demand investigations upon every
imaginable pretext, at the farce that has
just been played out ougt to convince some
of the "grave n reverew that the Senate
is not the omnipotent body tly imagine it to
be, and that newspaper men aow now to
keep secrets, even if Senators do not.
For the prompt manner in whioh the

sion has given satisfaction on bou
sides ' of the Atlantio to all but
a few lrreoonoilables, -who would not
have been satisfied with anything. It is
bonorable to both parties, and it provides for
a peaceable adjustment of differences that
were likely at any time to precipitate a con
flict of a most serious character, and as It
was not likely to be improved by being tin
kered at by the Senate, its ratification in the
shape in which it came from the commission
was the best thing that could have been done
with it. '
LEASE OF 2UB NE WJERSE Y ROADS.
Tub proposed lease of the New Jersey Rail
roads by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
continues to attraot a large share of publio
attention, and notwithstanding the approval
of the projeot by a majority of the direotors
of the united New Jersey companies, it is
evident that the ratification of the lease will
encounter considerable opposition from a por
tion of the New Jersey stockholders, as well
as from some of those who have hitherto been
actively concerned in the management of
their works. It remains to be seen
whether these opposing efforts will be suffi
cient to prevent the important consolidation
in questiyn. The published arguments treat
the matter in dispute mainly with reference
to its effect upon the welfare of New Jersey
and upon the pecuniary interests of the stock
holders of the united companies, and the de
cision apparently binges on the opinion that
may be ultimately formed on these subjects.
On the one hand the prospect is held
out of an assured revenue of ten
per cent, on a large capital stock,
and an avoidance of serious future expendi
tures, while on the other it is claimed that
even a larger profit than ten per cent, per
annum may frequently be realized, and that
the danger of a diminution of revenue will be
as great under the lease as it is under the
present system of management. Considera
tions of State pride and of a proper regard for
local development are also brought to bear
upon the controversy; and if the Pennsylva
nia Railroad had not been so uniformly suc
cessful in negotiations of a similar character
heretofore, there would be apparently grave
doubts of the triumph of its policy in the
present instance.
THE ADJOURNMENT OF TEE LEG IS.
LATURE.
The people of the State and the citizens of
Philadelphia can breathe freer now that the
Legislature has adjourned without having
perpetrated any very scandalous iniquities
at least comparatively speaking. On Satur
day the usual complimentary speeches were
made; the usual silver-mounted inkstands,
gold-headed canes, silver-plated tea sets, and
other trumpery presented, according to a
pleasant legislative custom; the usual compli
mentary resolutions passed, and then our law
makers, after shaking hands all around in
friendly fashion and declaring to each other
that their public and private conduct
had been irreproachable, separated to return
home and give an account of themselves to
their constituents. We cannot say that the
last session of the Legislature was absolutely
without guile, but its performances will com
pare favorably with those of former sessions.
Owing to peouliar combinations of circum
stances in some cases, and owing to a want of
nerve in others, a number of partionUrly out
rageous schemes were nipped in the bud; and
although there was an evident disposition to
make the publio suffer to a considerable ex
tent, we believe that the tax-payers of the
Commonwealth will have comparatively little
cause for complaint. The actual performances,
good or bad, of the Legislature cannot be
absolutely known for some time to come, but,
owing to the "dead-locks" which oc
curred every few weeks between the
two houses, the probabilties are that the ob
noxious enactments were comparatively few.
The session, although moderately free from
iniquities, was not a creditable one, and it
was prolonged at a great expense to the State,
and the neoessary publio business was delay
ed, solely on account of the wholly needless
disputes between the two houses, in which
we regret to say that one was about as muoh
to blame as the other. The Democrats of the
Senate displayed a disposition to rule or ruin,
but the Republicans of the House, who might
have thrown the entire blame on the Senate
by making a few not improper concessions,
were equally obstinate, and are deserving of
censure. The session is at an end, however,
for which we are thankful, and we can only
express the hope that an effort will be made
to send a better class of men to Harris burg
next winter.
ON-TO TUE INTERSECTION.
The Publio Building Commissioners have re
mained inactive all the spring, because it was
impossible to tell whether they might not at
any time be interfered with by the Legisla
ture, and their operations discontinued. Now
that the Legislature has adjourned, there is
no necessity whatever for further delay, and
it is sincerely to be hoped that the work of
excavating and laying the foundations will be
commenced immediately, and pushed forward
as much as possible before next winter. The
Washington Square ring have been defeated
at every point, and there is nothing whatever
to prevent the commissioners from carrying
out their grand design of placing a magnifi
cent city hall upon the intersection of Broad
and Market streets. This is the only proper
site for such a structure, and as all the talk
about the obstruction of the streets has pro
ceeded either from persons interested in
having the publio buildings plaoed
either upon Washington or Independence
Squares, or from old fogies who make a prac
tioe of protesting against all public improve
ments, no further attention need be paid to
any clamors on this point. Leaving every
thing else out of consideiation, architectural
effect and economy in heating, lighting,
warming, and ventilation demand that the
buildings shall be placed upon the intersec
tion; and if the commissioners commence
operations at once, there will be enough done
before the season closes to effectually prevent
any successful effort from being made in the
future to obatruot them in their work,
Kid there will be a reasonable chanoe that be
fox the centennial anniversary of 1870 Phila
delpUa will have a pile of municipal build
ings which her citizens may be proud to show
to their vUitors.
DOWNFALL OF THE COMMUNE.
Thx complete triumph ef France over the
Commune is atlast announced; and the fearful
cost of this success is Indicated by the state
ment that sixty thousand lives have been lost
during the late movements, and that one
third of the Frenoh capital has been de
stroyed. It is also said that there are fifty
thousand dead bodies in the houses and cel
lars of Paris. All the fearful engines of de
struction colleoted during a long siege to be
used againt the Prussians if they attempted
a direct assav.lt upon the French capital have
been employed with dreadful effect in inter
necine warfare; and the martial spirit of the
nation has found vent in the unpreoedentedly
barbarous destruction of its own citizens.
Henceforth Paris will be shorn of its greatest
glories, and instead of bewildering a giddy
world of fashion, or of exerting a command
ing influenoe over a people who, in spite of
their innumerable calamities, still possess
many elements of strength and greatness, it
will be an object of mingled dread and de
struction. THE COMMUNIST LEADERS.
The Death of Delescluze, Pyat, aud Cour
bet. Recent cable telegrams announce the death
of three prominent Communists, Delescluze,
Pyat, and Courbet, the two former of whom
especially have taken a very active part in the
infamous insurrection which has made desolate
a third part of Paris.
Louis Charles Delescluze.
M. Delescluze, who for a few days held the
position of Delegate Minister of War to the
Commune, and had taken a prominent part iu
the Socialist revolution from the start, was one
of the most remarkable of the revolutionary
leaders. He was born on the 2d of October,
ISO'J, and was educated in Paris at the College
Bourbon and the Ecole du Droit. While still a
student he joined the political societies of Paris,
after the Revolution of 1S30, and in 1334 was for
the first time arrested because of his revolution
ary associations. In the following year he was
seriously implicated in a conspiracy, and in con
sequence was obliged to seek an asylum in Bel
glum. Here he embraced the profession of a
journalist, and became editor of the Journal de
Charleroi. Returning to France subsequently,
he became chief editor of V Impartial du Nord,
a journal published at Valenciennes. Iu 1811
he Buttered his first condemnation for articles
published in this paper, being condemned to
one month's imprisonment and a fine of 2000
francs.
After the Revolution of February, 184S, by
which the House of Orleans was overthrown, he
was appointed Commissaire-General of the Re
public for the Departments of the Xord and
Pas de Calais, and in November following esta
blished two journals, La Revolution Femocra
tique el Sociale and La Liberie Republicaine.
In these journals he wrote recklessly, one article
costing him a year's imprisonment and 10,000
francs fine, and another an imprisonment of
three months and a fine of 10,000 fra'nes.
Finally, on June 13, 1849, La Revolution was
suppressed and Delescluze was condemned by
the High Court at Versailles to transportation
by default. For the second time he went
into exile, residing in England
until 1853, when he returned to France. But he
was at Anna raarroaBil, .vwl, u tMpri-
soned at Mayas, was, in 1854, condemned to four
years' imprisonment and a fine of 1000 francs as
a member of a secret society. lie was trans
ported fcuccesslvely to Belle Isle, Corte, Ajacclo,
Toulon, and Brest, at the two latter places being
associated with convicts, and often compelled to
labor in the chain-gangs. On September 1, 1853,
by a simple ministerial order, he was sent to
Cayenne, under sentence of ten years' transpor
tation, by the provisions of the decree of De
cember 8, 1851. At tbe end of a single year,
however, he was suffered to return to France by
an amnesty.
For some years thereafter, Delescluze kept out
of public life; but the old passion finally resumed
its sway, and In 1868 he established Le Reoeil,
which at first was published as a weekly. Within
a single year after he embarKed in this new
journalistic enterprise, he suffered three severe
condemnations three months' imprisonment
and 5000f. fine for his first article, six monthi'
imprisonment and fifty francs fine on account of
the Baudln subscription, and six months' im
prisonment and 2000f. fine by judgment pro
nounced 14th August, 1869. By the amnesty of
the following day, the Emperor's birthday, le
escaped the infliction of the last penalty.
A man with such a record as this must, of
course, come to the surface after the downfall
of the empire. At the election of the 8th of
February last for delegates to the Constituent
Assembly, Delescluze stood tbe eighth in order
on the poll of Paris, receiving 153,000 votes, tbe
list being headed by Louis Blanc with 210,000.
In the Assembly he soon gave evidence of his
extreme radical tendencies. On March 0, whet
Louis Blanc and Victor Hugo submit
ted a demand for the detention o!
the members of the Provisional
Republican Government until they should rendei
an account of their acts previous to the capitu
lation of Paris, Delescluze supplemented it by
demanding their arrest and impeachment on the
charge of high treason. At the municipal elec
tion held la Pails on Sunday, March 28, in the
early days of the revolution, Delescluze was
elected a member of the Communal Council,
and a few days thereafter reslgued his seat in
the Assembly. He became one of the most
active of the revolutionary leaders, and on May
10 was appointed Delegate Minister of War
to tbe Commune, us successor to
General Roseel. But in less than a week he fell
under the suspicion and displeasure of the Com
mune, and was displaced. The despatch an
nouncing tbe close of his stormy career states
that Lis body has been found In the streets and
Identified. He was probably killed during the
terrific encounters of last week; although, as his
arrest by tbe Versallllsts had been previously
announced, he may have been shot after a sum
mary trial.
Fell Pjat.
This revolutionary journalist, who is reported
to have been shot, was born at Vierzon, October
4, 1810. He received an excellent education,
studied law at Paris, and was admitted as an
advocate In 1831, He turned his attention to
literature, however, and was attached succes
sively to the Figaro, Charivari, and the Siecle.
He likewise wrote several plays, being best
known as an author by his dramas of Mathilde,
Fiogene, and Le Chiffonier de Farit, which
acquired considerable popularity on account of
their political allusions.
Tbe outbreak of the Revolution of 1843 led
him into politics, and he joined the ranks of
Ledru-Holllu, with whom he soon after went
I Into exile, publishing several political works
during his residence in England, and addressing
a letter on behalf of the "Jersey exiles" to the
Queen, after her return from a visit to the
French Emperor in 1855. Being permitted to
return to France subsequently, he became in
volved in political troubles in 1861, and was
sentenced to a fine and Imprisonment.
After the fall of the empire, Pyat established
In Paris a journal called J Combat, and it was
an article In this sheet which led to the serious
riots in the capital during the last three days of
October, 1870. Pyat stated that Marshal Ba
ilee's surrender of Metz to the Germans was
Jn the Interest of the ex-Emperor, to whose, for
tunes he still adhered, and that Bazaiae had
tendered peace to the enemy la the name of
Napoleon, on condition that he should be per
mitted to march to Paris at the
head of his army and taRe possession
of the Government, with the assistance
of the Germans, claiming that his Information
was received from Rochefort, then a member of
the Government of National Defense, through
Gustavo Flourens. Rochefort, however, repu
diated the statement, and bitter recriminations
between him and Pyat followed. The serious
disturbances which ensued were finally sup
pressed, Pyat and the other leaders being ar
rested and imprisoned, but Pyat was released
about two weeks afterwards.
After tbe capitulation of Paris Pyat was, on
February 8th, elected a member of the Con
stituent Assembly, receiving 141,000 votes, and
standing eleventh on the poll of Paris. After
the ratification of the treaty of peace by the
Assembly, Rochefort, Louis Blanc, and other
extremely radical deputies, resigned their scats
because of the cession of Alsace and Lorraine,
and Pyat, refusing to resign, declared that
he would never again enter the Assembly until
the cession of French territory was rescinded.
He joined the Communists at the outset, and
was elected a member ot the Communal Council
on Sunday, March 26, being one of the few
members of this body who were not unknown
to the world. Soon after he established Le
Vengeur, which became an official organ of the
Commune, and throughout the rebellion re
mained one of its most prominent leaders.
Gustave Courbet.
Gustave Courbet, who was shot on Friday by
the Versallllsts, for participation in the Com
munist revolt, had a record which was worthy
of a better termination. Courbet was an artist
of prominence, and with a well-earned reputa
tion. He was born at Omans, in the department
of Doubs, in the year 1819. He received his
early education under Abbe Gousset, who after
wards became a cardinal and Archbishop of
Rheims. Courbet was sent to study law in Paris
in 1S39, but did not make very much progress,
as his natural bent was in another direction.
After studying art for a number of years, he ex
hibited his works for the first time publicly in
the year 1844. His style was independent, and
his productions rather shocked the followers of
the then reigning pcheol of art, by his daring
methods and extravagant subjects. But this
opposition only made him cling the more closely
to his own ideas.
In 1843, duriag the revolution iu ideas as
well as governments, Courbet became suddenly
famous, and his style found ready favor. But
then bis theories underwent a change, and from
that time he was a devoted champion of
realism only. He exhibited a very intolerant
but indomitable disposition. At the Universal
Exposition of 1855, and, also, in 1867, he refused
tbe places for exhibition offered him by tbe
committee, and in both cases opened inde
pendent exhibitions of his own. In 1RIV7 thin
private exhibition was in a email wnue circular
building near the Arch of Triumph, and In this
was brought together a very fine though small
exhibition of the master's most characteristic
works.
He found that his works were more appre
ciated abroad than at home, for in the art exhi
bition in Munich in 1864 a special room had
been reserved for the exclusive reception of his
pictures. But few of his pictures are known In
America.
Courbet had great power as a draughtsman,
a cultivated taste for color, and a remarkable
command of light and shade. His imagina
tion, however, was uncurbed, and he was very
intolerant of the generally accepted laws of art.
