MAT 30, 1B04. TJie McCaullcyllcvcrlH I'ase Mr. Heverln'a nssallnnt, St. Clair Mc CRUlIey, 8 teen found te be Insane, and under the direction of Judge Elcock lie lias been sent te the Nerria- town asylum for care and treatment. In the event that such a condi tion should restore him te mental rectltude and a state of moral responsi bility, he will be returned te the mere drastic discipline of the penitentiary. In yielding te the petition for his removal te the asylum) which had "the con currence of Mr. lleverin and his nctlve participation in its prepara tion," Judge Elcock took occasion te Bay that by " the verdict of the jury the prisoner was sane as te the particu lar act at the tlme of its commission for which he was convicted. The finding cannot ba tee highly commended for its accuracy as te the facta and the law. The appeal new is for a merciful care and treatment of the prisoner during the tlme of his sentence." The iepular Judgment will be that if Mr. McCaulley is Insane new, he was insane at the time of the assault and that Ids counsel should have had the full est opportunity te show this fact Instead of having hts client railroaded through the quarter ecsalens te be convicted se lustily and sentenced be severely. It is net likely that the man had a lucid in terval en the particular subject of blackjacking lleverin aud at the special time he did it. Any Unit ing of a jury te this effect is se rldtc uletis that it gains nothing by the judge' present declaration that it " caunet bn tee highly commended for its accuracy as te tin f.iet and the law." The Xerth American in discussing tlit) case- in its present piuua and its for. mer aspects, says "the vi nil:; w.is thtre- fore as unjmt as the a-ntence which followed It was severe, aud the case is a proper one for the intervention of the brurd of pardons " As Attorney General Casaidy, who Is a member of the beard of pardons, was of ciii'is-'l for the preie cucten iu the cue, aud .u that beard has laid down the rule te grant no pardqns except for causes appearing subsequent te the trld, it H net likely McCaulley 's counsel will appeal with much confidence te that jurisdiction Taint hearted Democrats, who can net see uny hope of their party electing its president this fall, will de well te bear in miad that a change of one per cent. In the vote by which Garfield carried .New Yerk, Indiana, Cennectl cut and Oregon would be sufficient te give all these slates te the Democratic candidate this year. In view of this it is wise te rcilfCt if the Democracy has le3t any ground since then. At that time Ohie nnd Indiana had both been carried against us, anil the prestige of victory was with the opposition. Iu the face of it, Garfield's election was made by a plurality se light that a clmn.'t) of one vote in n hundred would have altered the result. What has occurred since te improve the situation for the Republi cans ? Xet the Garfield Cenkllng quar rel ; net Guiteau and his frantic avowal of Stalwartism ; net the retirement or MacVeagh and Blaine from the cabinet; net .the exposure of the Star Reute infamy aud aud the failure of the gov ernment's law department te punish tiie thieves ; net the tattooing of Blaine by the papers of his own party ; nor the acrimonious assaults en Edmunds and Arthur, and certainly net the threat of the New Yerk Times te belt the C.il cage nomination I Where is the Demec racy weaker than iu lbSO ? Net in Massachusetts, New Yerk, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in every one of which it has slnca then elected a governor. These are all doubtful state. Te carry them is an easy task of the Democrats if their convention acts with wisdom. The observance of Decoratieu day lias had u revival of popular favor, and the local interest in the exercises tills year is greater than usual ; t'.e same Is noticed elsewhere. This la in part be cause .the significance of the occasion has been broadened. The political asperities growing out of the war have b-'en softened ; tl iiui-aiens which led te it, and which grew out of it, nre substantially settled, and Dec oration day orators are no longer expected te nuku partisan stump spee hes. Indeed, the time is coming when they will sound the praises el peace and tell hew much mere bent ilcent is I'm away than the vaunted glory el martial strife and thepissien of anna. Net iilone the soldiers win fell in the war but the ten fold mere graves of theip whose death saddened homes and Hirrewcd hearts are. remembered with melancholy satisfaction at this season of mournful tribute and blissful hope. It would be werts fitting, we maintain, te plant 11 iwers than te lay the perishable aud fading bloom en the graves ; but in whatever feim affection nnd respect manifest theni&etvea they de the inns- geed te theso who cherish such feelings ; and the highest observance of Decoration day m in the refinement of the living, even m,relhan the honoring of the dead. Juuau Elcock puts himself in tt mesi leiiiRTkablopeQltloninfltiding St. Clair McCaulley Insaue within the week or thereabout in which he pronounced him tune, and get n jury te convict him ns aueh and sentenced him ns such te llve yeaia iu prison. He had but little of evidence before him te show McCaulley's present Insanity which he did net have te preve his Insanity when he tried and convicted and railroaded him le jail. The simple truth is that he put his Jmll. cial hoof en tills mun because lie had assaulted his friend ; and new seeks te ilmeud his error without confessing It as u equure man and honest judge should de. We have no patience with audi cowardly duplicity. Judge Elceck'a only decent way te correct his error was te award u new trial te the prisoner against whom he had allowed his feel Jugs te pervert his judgment. Judge Eicvtk c'culy hai uet the temperament" te adorn the bench nnd should be eager te get back te the bar, where impartial ity and consistency nre net looked for. The JYete Era thinks It must be gen erally admitted that the Maxim lights In this city have net fulfilled the public expectation ; their uncertainty during the winter was the chief objection te thorn nnd when tliey burned they burned tee irregularly ; and new that they have been bracketed and put en poles, their light Is insufficient where the foliage is dense. These exceptions te the present system are nil well taken. We have been disposed te treat this electric light company with entire fairness, nnd te glve it credit for occasional improvements in its service, liut at ue tlme has It fulfilled Its under taking ; nnd it lias shown a disposition te take advantage of a tee easily dis posed councils and n lamp committee biased In its favor. The electric light ing of cities, at a reasonable cost and with a regular and complete service, is as yet largely an experiment ; the Maxim may be as geed as any for the same money ; but Lancaster city is net iu such n financial condition as te warrant Its Indulgence in costly experl ments. What it most needs, however, is an improved order of councilmen ; then would fellow better streets, water facili ties and lighting. Mu, Fish, of the Grant and Ward firm, under the harrow of the crosr cresr examiner, dots net seem te hi the iuue cent and lamblike victim of his partners that he has been holding himself ou' te b?. He appears te have been in the inblt of charging ;0 er cent, ferdis c uiidlug Ins own notes, and then getting the bank of which lie was president te redife unt them at six per cent. He will net say what hedid with the profit, but admits that lie never told his partner, General Grant, ihn' he was thus shaving theii papr. Mr. Fili no doubt will be found in the end te have been m deep iu the mud as auy of his partners were in the mire. Asr.:ciAt from Washington reports that Iilum is net greatly concerned for the presidential nomination, becttue, iu his opinion, formed iu view of the recent exposures of financial rottenness iu New Yerk and political rottenness in Wash lugten."lhe Republican uenuue-.', who ever lie may be, cann3t possibly be elected this year.'' .
