jBE THAGEDIB9 KEStESO,IV.
Sad and awful as were the tragedies ofyes
Hiday, lUs community experienced a sense
of relief when it was known that two mur
derers, one by his own guilty hand, the other
the minister of the law, ere put to death.
It was felt that these were in some degree
test eases, the result of which would deter
miae whether murder could he committed
With impunity under certain conditions U
alt city. One criminal had wealth; the
other powerful political influence; and both
of these were brought to bear with extraor
dinaiy skill and pertinacity to secure the
safety of the condemned. It is a triumph for
justice, and a fresh guarantee of the sanctity
ofhnban life that both failed utterly, and that
stern retribution was meted out to the guilty
men. Any other result would have been
disastrous to the peace and security of honest
people. Unless it iB known that punishmeu
•will follow swiftly and surely upon commis
sion of crime, there might as well be n >
penalty affixed by the law. It is only the
knowledge of the inevitability of retribu.ion
(hat restrains lawless men from violence and
miqnity. The chances of escape
axe too great already, and to this
j, to be attributed the frequency of
crime. Men perceive the uncertainty of the
law, and are willing often to take the risk 9 oi
detection,conviction and punishment There
ought to be no risks if guilt is evident "Law
la instituted by society for the protection oi
honest people from the systematic warfare
waged against them by wicked men. But i'
has been so perverted that in many case?
it operates entirely in the interest or offenders
•(lording them protection in their neftri >us
deeds. What with the quibbles of lawyers,
the imperfect judgment ol Jurors, the fanati
cal seal of sentimental lets whose distorted
humanity expends itself, in behalf of offenders,
forgetting the crime and the sufferers, and the
endangered community,and with the chaises
of Executive pardon,the probability always is
that the assassin will be made a hero of, In
stead of yielding bis life as the penalty of his
»in. Cruelty and disproportionate punish
xnent defeat the purpose of law; but just and
equal retribution is the only safeguard of s>-
ciety. It will be better for us, if, instead o
iclaxine the penalty, we stop up
some of the chinks and crannies by which
criminals escape. The pardoniag power oi
the Executive, for instance,might perhaps b
circumscribed so that it could be exercise!
only in certain defiued cases. N >w,the G>v
ernor is left with the fearful responsibility o!
unlimited exercise of his prerogative, and i
he be iDfirm of purpose, or of a too teadar
heart, it is sure to be abused to the injury o‘
the community. The pardmiog power was
not designed to release criminals ; It was iu
tended for the benefit of innocent men only
It was to correct the mistakes of the law, n ji
to defeat its just operation. Tue pressure
brought to bear upon Gjv. Geary iu favji
oi the two murderers who die 1 yesterday was
enormous and almost irresistible. The criin
Inals hoped for much from this,and from tbe
Act that tbe Governor had it In hi 9 pawer to
forgive them absolutely. It was well for him
and for ns that he forbore to turn these men
loose upon the community again ; but it is
donbt'nl if he should have had ability to d >
so where the certainty of guilt was so pUi i.
We hope that the result of the appeal to tbe
Governor, and the death of Eaton and
Twltchell, will have their legitimate effect io
checking the murder mania. The Increase ot
crime in this city has been frightful within
foe last few months; and, unless the law is
administered sternly and mercilessly, we
shall have a succession of tragedies such a
(hose for which Eaton and T wiicbell suffered
We need the co-operation of the Governor,
the DistrictrAttorney, the Grand Jury, and
fhc law-abiding men of the oommnnity, to
obtain thorough administration of justice
This is our only seourity. Prompt prosecu
lion, conviction by the jury, and refusal by
the Governor to pardon in any case where
Vanocence doeß not plainly appear, will stop
(his tide of murder and robbery, and give t'>
life and property that promotion which they
should have in a civilized community like
this.
DIAHOKD cur DIAHOKD.
The vexed question of the tracks on Broad
street came to a sudden solution yesterday,
thanks to the bungling at Harrisburg and the
prompt practice of our Councils. The track*
were down yesterday; they are np to-day
The clever people who planned a stolen march
upon (he city authorities by means of a bit of
snap legislation at Harrisburg, ought to have
been too smart to choose a day for the expl >-
■lon of their little mine, when Councils were
in session and ready to “hoist them with their
own petard. ” There be reporters in these days,
and there be telegraphic wires which oarry
quick news from the Legislative halls to the
Chambers of Council. And so it came to
pass, or ever this bit of strategy could be
rushed through the second house, the counter
plot was planned and executed; and while the
oonnlDgfellows were chuckling in the lob
bies of Harrisburg over their uncommon
smartness In manipulating the fa rile legisla
tors, bold Master Bosler was practidne
the Grecian bend along the Broad stree
tracks, to the tune of crowbar and pick,
shovel and sledge.
“Tbeie was a sound of revelry, by night
and sb belated pedestrians passed the usually
deserted precincts of Broad street, they cam *
open Milesian bands, working with tha
hearty good-will that men always bring to the
destruction of things, in the quick execution
Of the just order oi Councils.
“They rend a righteous Bcntenee bv the dim and
flaring lamps,"
and.BBthe newß spread that Councils hal
flanked the Harrisburg plotters by ihW mis
terly nolivily, there was a universal chorus of
'Bully for yotrl” and other poetic commin
ditione.
Of ooores there is b hubbub to-day in the
reglone of Broad Streep aod there will bo
ter laments tlonsamoog the beleaguered and
blockaded warehousemen. Bat Connells j
have not been fairly dealt with,and they have .
done right in resenting the piece of trickery j
attempted upon them at Harrisburg. Who j
has broken faith with them we do not pro- ,
tend to say. It is very probable that the j
scheme for perpetuating the Broad street
nuisance was entirely unknown to many, of
the bneineßß men along that street. But there
was a prompt remedy needed against sash le
gislation, and Councils, this time, have the
town at their back, in hearty indorsement ot
their course. We trust this effectual removal ot
the tracks will be Followed by an equally
t ffectual removal of some of the legislators
that lend themselves to suoh unworthy tricks-
It is time that this snap legislation at H »r
-risburg against the interests of Pailadelphia
was abolished. It is an Insult to this com
muoity for anybody to go to the Legislature
and ask for the passage of such bills as that
with which Councils have dealt so sum
maiily. .
Now that our authorities have got their
band in, we trust that they will keep an eye
on Twelfth and Sixteenth streets. Tney have
forbidden the removal of the pavement there
for the purpose of laying a railway; but that
proposed monopoly is in the hands of men
who will not stop at trifles, and who wUI
ride over any ordinary obstacles where there
is money to be made. The Broad street les
son will be a timely warning to them, and
' he cordial approbation everywhere expressed
10-day, for tbe prompt aotion of Councils last
! tight, is a sufficient guarantee that if they
have occasion to remove similar obstructions
; from neighboring streets, the people will be
’. a ith them, as they undoubtedly are now.
unsißDcrioss.
A case has just been tried, for the seoond
time, before Judge Btroud, in which the
Building Inspectors were made plaintiff
against tbe lessees of Concert Hal), for alleged
violations of the law regulating p'aces o
public amusement The suit was a frivolous
one oiiginally, and became a ridiculous one,
finally. The first jury disagreed, anl i'
would have been wise for the real prosecu
tors to have taken their case out of 0 >ur
tbeo; but they chose to press it to a second
trial, and alter consuming one whole d i>
with the evidence and arguments, and keep
ingthe jury looked up another whde diy.
the verdict ha 9 been given, wher.
all common-sense gave it, long ago
to the defendants. The prosecutim
which started off with great bravery.
at the first trial, dwindled away, in th
second, step by step, until the wnole case
was whittled down to the solemn and mo
meDtouß question of tbe right of wayoftae
public through a lady's private dressing
room! Here the counsel for the plnatitl
made their last stand and dug their last ditch
They thought the public had a right to craw
under tbe stage into a rubbish hole; but the;
were willing to concede that point, and even
10 admit that an open hatchway was not, in
ihe eyes of the law,a regular door of exit. But
the right to walk iDto a. lady's dressing
room was so evidently the privilege of th
public, that it was blasphemy to deny
“Goosev, goosey, gander.
Wnitbcr dost inoa wander?
Up Btuirß, and down stairs,
And lo my ludy’o chamber.”
Judge Stroud heartily sustained thts view.
To be sure, he admitted, when the jury, be
wildered by his ruliogs and his genera
management of the case, came back fo
instructions,that although he had twice hear i I
the case tried, he did not understand the mai
question, to wit, the methrda of enteriug and
leaving Concert Hall. But the venerable
,udge was very certain of one thing. Tuere
are two ways, and two only, acordiog to
his high authority, by which the publio have
no legal right to leave an auditorium. Tuey
have no right to get out of the windows |
qnd they have no right to jump or fal
down a hatchway. With these solitary
exceptions, they have a right to hive
all doors leading from an auditorium
open at all limes. This ruling was abs »
ute, unequivocal and unqualified. If a dro'
eadsinto a lady’s dressing room, tha public
have a right to it. If It is a trap-d >or in s
stage, they have a right to it. If it leads to a
blind closet, they have a right to it If it
leads anywhere or nowhere, it matters not
Stroud being judge, the public have a right to
it Absurd as this sounds, and absurd as i’
undoubtedly is. It is Bhe reiterated ruling of
Judge Stroud, without a pirticlo of exag
geration. The jury knew bettor, of course; foi
they were practical, sensible business men.
The doors of exit and entrance a
Concert Hall are as well understood by tht
tbonsands and thousands of our citizens wb
frequent it as any simple thing can be under
stood by ordinary intelligences. Taey need
no explanations, no diagrams, no tiresome
examinations of witnesses. The law, in it*
language and in its intent, is eoually plain;
and yet several days of the lime of buuaess
men have been wasted in the absurd effort to
ciam iato the naiads of twelve sensible men
the ridiculous idea that the public, who have
large, convenient, well-known doors of exit
provided for them at Concert Hall, have a
legal right to force themselves upon the
privacy of a lady’s dressing-room, or
to wedge themselves into any out ds sao,
whither they may bo tempted by p jkiog into
private doors never intended for their use.
We have no desire to be disrespectful to
any member of the bench In Philadelphia,
but we are forced to the conclusion, alter
witnessing the oonduct of this case and the
lutings of the Court, that the only real “ob
struction” connected with it was produced,
not by the chair or the Pugh, but by the
bench.
It is said that President Grant has tele
graphed to Revetdy Johnson stating that hie
resignation will be accepted up>n presenta
tion. This is somewhat rough upon Riverdy.
He has aeceptid invitations to dinner, iu tue
capacity ol American minister, up to the las
of Juue, and no doubt has his aole remark*
for each occasion all arranged. To hj onn
pel.id to atleud these repasts merely as a silly
old mao, without ofll dal position, or else to
break his engagements and pa.k up ani
tome home, will be very mortifying. Bit
he vs ill not be likely to obtain muoa sym

by the name of Johnson, he is a failure, and

The Republican victories in Rhode Island
and Connecticut dispel nearly all d oubt of the
ratification of the Constitutional Amendment.
Rhode Island had been counted upon as oer
tain to ratify, but Connecticut was placed
among the doubtful States, and it was though’
that there would be enough without her. Toe
accession of these two State? increases t>
twenty-six the number of those that are f*
i vorable to ratification. Two more will be
necessary to make, the required three-fourths.
Ohio elects a Legislature in October, and win
be pretty sure to give a handsome Republican
msjority. For the twenty-eighth and last we
look either to Cal forni ior Oregon. Perhaps,
however, there may be early reconstruction
..of.'Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi and Texts
ait\then we can rely upon any one of these
States to ratify. ' ■ -

TWIN BROTHERS
Are good things to have In a family 01 boy*.
They generally take aboat twice as much clothes
n« a boy does who Isn’t twins. Eor the most part
ibiv look very much alike. It used to be es
teemed a great calamity to a family when twins
wore introdnet d, but of lato years, sloce R jckbill
& VViifon bavo so powerfully reduced the ex
penfe of clothing boyp, It costs about as much to
elolbe two boys os it used to to clothe one.
Then fore, It is quite au object to have a pair or
s o of twiuß Id the family.
Twins can wear each other's clothes, or their
own, as they prefer. Bomelimes it happens tb u
«ben one twin's clothes are getting somewbn
worn, the other twin rises a little earlier In ih"
mortine and gete the btst clolbis.
Twins can say each other’s lessons at school,
which is also a great convenience, as one lesson
«ill do for a whole pair.
No more at present on the subject of twins
except this one thought:—
BriDg on your twins! Present them at the
door of the Great Brown Hill, and they wi 1 be
courteously eutreated, well fitted, and in ever'
rerpect made to enjoy complete satisfaction

THE DANISH ISLANDS:
Ate we Bonnd to Honor to Pay for Them!
JAMES PARTON.
Bvo. Paper. 25 cenlfl.
In this pamphlet Mr. Parton sets forth clearly
and graphically, the facts in regard to the pur
chase of the Danish Islands by Secretary Seward
and shows conclusively that good faith and the
best Interests of onr nation require ua to com
plete the purchase of these Islands immediately
by paying for them.
An able wiiter says: “Let America do what She
will In botldiDg iron-clads and casting cannon,
she can never become a first-class naval power
until she acquires ports abroad; Indeed, she is
but bi lping forward a change which puts her at
relative disadvantage. It was la View of these
facts that Mr. Seward cast ahout to see where wo
could oblolD defensible and well-placed harbors
in other land*. He fixed upon Bt. Thomas, and
we coLnot b. )p thinking lhat lo this he showed
tbe Judgment of a statesman. It bos tha best har
bor In the West Indies, eavo that of Havana,
which is not perhaps superior. It can be made a
rgcond Gibraltar at comparatively smaltexpeuse.
It is situated at a kind of four corners on the
ocean high ways-Just far enough away from our
own shores,and within striking distance of South
Amcilca and ol the opposllo Continent - • ■ • •
It ecems to us that a right sense of honor and a
r due appreciation of national Interest should lead
this country to complete the purchase of St.
Thonias with the loast possible delay."

Wasiiisgtow, April 9.— When ibe Senile met,
Mr. Colfax being absent, Mr. Anthony wasagain

Mr. Morion offeree as an amendment his pro
viso toot before being admitted the uarecou
siinclcd States mast ratify the Fifteenth Ameod
-111 J?r Trumbull earnestlv hoped this amendment
would not be adopted. It would be imposing a
new condition and breaking the Ullh of the gov
irtmtDt. wblcb was solemnly pledged that upon
compliance with certain conditions, the rebel
lious Stales should be restored.
Mr. Morion replied that It was not a breach or
faitb. iDnooiherway could the vexed ques
tion of suffrage,{which tbe Democrats wanted to
keep open for nse In fainre campaigns, be dually
Mr. Conkliog opposed Mr. Morton’s amend

In no manner failed to comply wltn tbe condi

Forty-first contjress—First Session*
Washington, April 9 t
Senate.— Mr. Anthony was agiin elected Pre- !
sidenl j>io lem. In the abaenceol Mr. Co'fax. |
On motion of Ur. Trumbull, the Haase bill ;
authorizing the submission of the coastiintioo
of Virginia, Mississippi and Texas to a vote of
the people was taken 1 up.
Mr. Morton offered as an additional section the
jntal resolution < ffered by him tbe otner day,
providing that before Virginia, Mississippi ood
Texas shall be admitted to reprerent ulon lo Con
grits, tbelr several Legislatures shall ratify the
Fif'eenth Aon ndmeul to the Coostilallon. |
Mr. Trumbull did not think it wise to add this \
si ctlon to the bill. Corgress bad already, with |
grtot deliberation, passed several acls prescribing
ibe conditions of reconstruction, and Reveral
Slates had complied with these conditions aud
be« n admitli d to representation; and for Congress
now to in pose additional cooaitlons woald be
a breach oi fallh wilh those people. He had no
doubt that those States would ratify the Fifteenth
ami rdroert without its being made a condition
ol reconstruction. ~ , . .
Mr. Mor oo denied that it would be a breach
of fai.b. The agreement had been made between
C< ogress aid ihe nnreconstrncted Slates. Con
gress bad offered these States recoastroctiou
upon ci rtaln coßsiderntions, but they bad re
fused to accept tbe offer, and hid stood out
in bosiiliiv to the government; and now it
wee the right of Congriss to impose whatever
c'Ocidiili ns it pleased, provided that they were
rivht and just in themselves. He wonld rather
see ihe pending bill fail than pass without this
amendment. Tbe desire of tbe Democratic parly
was to keep this question of negro suffrage open
as an element of success in the election of 1872.
The Democrats calculated that without the voles
ol Virginia, Mississippi, Texas and ludiana, the
Fifteenth amendment mußt fail of ratification,
and tbe only way to defeat that result was by
making its ratification a condition of the re-ad
mission ol these States.
Bouse On motion of Mr. Schenck, the Ssd
ate amendments to tbe wblskj and tobacco bill
we re taken from the Speaker’s table and noD
concurrcd in, and a committee of conference re
, quested. .... „
1 Mr. Butler (Mass ), from the Judiciary Can
i mittce. asked leave to report back the bill per
! milling defendants ta criminal cases in the United
Slates courts to testify, and to make the State
laws govern in the Uuited Btates coarts in the
respi ctive Slates on questions of the competency
of witnesses.
Mr. Bird objected.
Mr. Butler moved to suspend the rules.
The rales were not suspended.

M'. Tinnier, of Westmoreliud, as a member of tbo
General Judiciary Committee, took exception to cer.
tnip common's in a Harrisburg paper upon the action
of tbat commliiee. He wa> understood to argue tb*t
new:pa[ ers bad no badness to investigate tho acts of
