' A Fearless Judge. Our readers will doubtless remember the . horrible accident which occurred | som¢ months ago on thie Erie Railroad, at Mast THope, wherein so many lives were lost. Griffin, thie engineer of the% freight train, by whose sleepy negligence the horrible catastropbe occurred, was recently tried and acquitted by the jury. This extraordinary verdict has created great surlprise throughout the cou;ﬁiyx,é—- . Weare ﬁigg‘,_t,g&?,.,nmhn _Judge-—Rar rett DY name- -before whom the trial took . place, had the courage to tell this jury what he thought of them and their. ver dict. He told them that their: verdict _was ‘“‘against law, against justiee, and an ~oatrage against humanity. ' You violated the obligations of your oath,” he told them:; “a (Ylain.simp'le obligation toren _der a verdict according to the evidence. : " Instead of that, you rendered a 'vetdict against every particle of cvidence. Tam' astonished you“should in this way T s wdewm and violate - your ofiths; © and I trust.that the spirits of the dead, . dying, bl@dip?, .and_burnt victims of " Mast _Hope, will rebuke you as long as ~ you live.” " After admonishing them inthis wholesome '/way for' some time, - Judge I:f:r'rétt tol‘%themthat in fature he hoped' ‘they swould feel & proper regard for their oaths, and éisuharg’ed them ?r_oqg any farther duty, on the complimentary . ground that they were “not fit to sit as © Jurymen” I will fiot try causes,” lic _ kindly obsetved, “before sach a jury” b, %amfmmmmmm . withi the ‘conigressional. terms of treconi R '<' d: - w»'-z,_:v‘:' R e Dl ;‘.‘ R N Www ERr S iy . ol o e o 1o v A fi s, ?#3s#??*,»* Wi, b ’},n A iy ¥ ‘%‘% g;g{;‘,, Ry N 3 DAL AT ,J‘fwn «,\ Y I‘_"f’~' “r” ﬁﬁ{ P O g e LR

of certain radical presses that the administration has reduced the nationsl expenses as being a very nnfair, if.net dishoss ‘est representation. A contempofs a{ ‘referring to this practice, pointedly states ‘that its unfairness, and itg@eep “ : char.. ‘acter, may be understood Wwhen it is ‘reflected that’ the telegraphic announcements from Washington, on which these vaunting congratulatiofis aré based, make T e statrtiapey cponies of the last two years. They should do this in order to present an honest statement. They should deduct the extra’ bounties, and other costs growing out of the war, for: the Indian war, and for that costly imposition, the partisan political machine known as the Freedmen's Butreau, now alleged to be detunct. ' Again—neothing is deducted for the additional millions that have been wasted during gt)w last two years in mis-called Reconstruction.— ‘ When the present expenditures are compared wi*h the running cost of the Gov- ‘ ernment for the past two vears, minus ‘ these extraordinary expenses which no longer exist to any such extent, ‘the resalt ‘ will show that not a .dollar has been saved. !

Again;: the radical editors keep up the assertion that thq ezpenditures of 1868 amounted to over ten hundred millions! In order to make out this false case, they include among last year's erxpenditures over 8000;000,000 of United States bonds and certificates of debt that were simply EXCHAXGED for other bonds. One bond was merely substituted for another. In order to shaw a reduction, now, the radical journals not only refuse to deduet the extraordinary items we ‘have named, but include this enormous exchange of bonds in the amount of Government EXPENDITURES for 1868. = s - Such palpable dishonesty—-palpable to any persnn{ who remembers, or who will take the trouble to examine info the subject—ecan, of course, serve 1o other than & merely temporary purpose. Its exposure will inevitably come, sooner or later. It isa_'i broken reed that the radicals lean ‘upon, if they expect to cstablish a popular belief in - their financial wisdom by means of such a fraud ! B . Denth of Ex-President Pierce. Franklin Pierce, the fourteenth President of the United States, died at his residence, near Concord, New Hampshire, on 'Friday last, after’a prolonged illness.— Mr. Pierce was born in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, November 28, 1804, and had, therefore, nearly éompléted his six-ty-fifth year. In 1833 he was elected to the House of Representatives, and in 1837 -was chosen United States Senator, being the youngest member of - that body, when ‘such men as Olay, Webster, Calhoun, ‘Benton and Silas Wright held seats in the Chamber. In 1846 President Polk offered him the position of United'States: ‘Attorn¢y General, which he declined. In the Mexican war he hecame a Brigadier General. In the battle of Coutreras he was severely hurt by the falling of his ‘horse, and - in the succeeding engagement at Cherubusco, fainted from the severity of his injuries. This unfortunate episode of his military career was mercilussly used against him in the Presidential campaign of 1852, when-he was pitted dgainst Gen, Winfield Scott. In 1830 he was chusen President of the Constitutional Convessßosm SEBTC TFeapobios, wad vey 4300 of June, 1852, by the Democratic Convention which met at Baltimore, after forty-nine ballotings, he was nominated as the eandidate of the Democracy for President by avoteé of 282 to 11. He was brought forward by the Virginia delegation as a compromise candidate, after thirty-five ineffectual ballots had. been tiken. He was ‘elected over, General Scott by an overwhelming vote. = * His administration, if not marked by any brilliant act, is entitled to the praise of having been, probably, the most econ‘omical in the history of our government. His cabinet was composed of very able statesmen. ! .

Mr. Pierce was a gentleman of exceeding culture and more than ordinary ability. He. was noted for being .courtcous and dignified. When the occupant of the White House the' hnspim'l"ities, ot ‘the nation - were never dispensed by a more generons or graceful host. He was the last of the ek-Presidents made so by the will of the people, Mr: Fillmore and Mr. Jobhnson both having succeeded to the Presidency thm)igh the death of their aiißte TR gel o

1. Paying More Than ‘We Owe. The : distinctive feature of Mr. Bontwell’s administration of the treasury’ is the purchase of five-twenty bonds at their market value. Hitherto, says’ the St. Louis Republican, hie had g very rounidabout Way of doing it. 'He sold his gold for eurrency, and then paid curreney for the bonds—causing ‘the ' purchase to: involve two transactions.| Hewnow discovers that this circum‘;ocukio‘n‘ is absurd. to a political economist, Az*n‘d., it_is said, intends hereafter to buy the bonds for gold directly. b i ] i

But it looks as though Mr. Boutwell ‘ “was aiming to settle'a very important po- | litical question by his own ‘personal de- | cision, withont waiting ' for the sense of 1 the/people-on'it. " The ‘bonds he is purchasing are redeemable new, by their very | terms; Rede¢mable in what? The bold- 1 efs of them, say in gold., The late Thad. Stevens said in greenbacks ; Ben Butler says in greenbacks; Mr. Pendleton says in greenbacks; and many ether distinguished men of both parties say in green'backs; The law itself does not say gold, and thereéby anthorizes the plain infer- | ence that it ‘meds ordinary money of the eountry,"which is groenbacks: Bt Mr. Boutwell. represents a constituency | which holds a large share of these honds, i ~and wants them paid in-eoin ; and therefore, instead of redeeming these ‘bonds at par, he iB'buying them at 'a premiwm of 19p¢rmt. yane sl il PN RS T d ’}i‘;{: TIE i elaimed o thatighls policy I 8 ““strengthening. the credit, of the govern.. ment.”, ; Very . likely: , Any man who makks ¢ practioe of ;paying fo his creditors 19 per tent, more than he owes them, will build up o magnificent credit.” Bt Me. outwells planstrengthins’ the g Tk E YRy A AR T o éﬁ&"l‘g':p‘ ﬁ) %gg "axg Mk g o waleg, Tl o bl ‘?@,‘gim,i: s S IR AR s TR »:p A . > ﬂ':

{ . THEVOICE OF REASON. = |i o government in_ s country, | that would end for many g | favor ¢d the establishmeént of an empire as a protection to that interest, and if by some sudden stroke of boldness those per-. sons who owned government bonds could have converted the republic into an em-. AR O e ePSRLS TR A }pi;e, after the manner of Napoleon in France, they would have been satisfied, for this generation ut lexst, that their ‘monied interests were sccure. For the purpose of feeling the temper of the people the Imperialist was started, but its ‘existence aroused such opposition that its projectors became assured that the time bad not arrived for the accomplishment of their scheme. - The liberties of *the people had been encroached upon by the advance of ‘a centralized power as much as thie popular mind was willing to bear.? The mutterings of a popular upbeaval began to be heard, which wonld have culminated at the attempt to establish an empire in the total destruction of the very species of property which the empire wus designed to' foster and proteet. The bondholder: and. his bonds would have found a common grave, ‘ i The holders of the vast, untaxed wenlth -oof America would do well to heed the popiilai' voice, and quietly allow their _pr()l)ér;y ‘to bear its due proportion of the public burden. The security of the bondholdor will eonsios iu his willingness to share in the support of the burdens of the government that affords him : protection. “The spirit of repudiation will grow as the people become satisfied that the government protects the bondbolder at their expense, The passs “ion that enabled this glaring injustice to find birth is rapidly passing away, and reason by ro means sustains the theory that therich should be 'slflpport(‘d at the };expcnse of the poor. S We are, by no means, an advoeate of the repudiation of the national debt. We believe all the obligations of the govern‘ment should be sacredly maintained, and in' order. to secure those obligations from the Blight of repudiation, we would urge upon thie men wha hold the bonds of the nation the propriety of moving themselves in the direction of having them subjected to . taxation. In this way they can quiet all the chances, that may exist, of their wealth turning to ashes, and leaving tyhemv among the very poorest of the poor. If they are wisc they will pur sue such n poliey. =« .The changes in eventsare so rapid that the success of a party opposed to the interests of the capitalists, who now control the country, may at any time take place. Jlf 'éuch a change should soon eccur, the imeh who own the bonds will be protected, provided they deal justly, now in the “day of their power, with those who will then have the control of the government.

The treasury officials have been compelled to abandon the system of docking clerks who were absent a few hours from duty.

The bogus, carpet-bag, Radical Legisla | ture of North Carolina appropriated the enormots sum of twenty-seven million dollars, during the last Tegislature, most. of whieh- is given: to bogus railroads.— North Carolina has not got twenty seven cents in her t'réasu'ry,‘ and the twenty-seven ‘millions* are donated in bonds. ' These' bonds, of course, will be peddled out in Wall street for what they will bring, and’ faturc generatisng wi'l have to pay for them, dollar for dollar, or repudiate, Tt is thus that the Radical, negro, nnd eur pet-bag - legislators of -the South care for. the people’s interests.; =~ . .

| Swindling in Pious Circles. | The necessity for lay ¥epresentation in the conference of the Methodist “charch is clearly shown by the recent startling disclosures . of frand and pillage in' the book concern. The embezzlement is said to run‘away into the hundreds of thousand of dollars; and glthough the New York Herald—very bad anthority—bas denied the truth of the story, it is manifested that some‘body has grown rich at the expen:e ‘of the 'church. funds, or ‘the exposure would not have been made. When the ministry and officers of the church ~are g 0 largely composed of rogues, it ‘iB" high time for the laity to' have a voice in matters of control. In the days of the Savior one of his apostles _proved to be a scoundrel, and the lapse ‘of nineteen ' centuries ‘Seems ‘not to ‘have ' diminished * the " proportionate ‘number’ of bad men, who manage to’ control the christian church. © We suspect such a state of affairs is 'in'se'l)e:a-" gh‘f from the ‘concerns of lifé, and it alimost makes ‘us believe’ in ‘the doctrine :'Of"tofé} dﬁ?mﬁfyf*rﬁi i . ks AR ’ ":fii P »*}:‘-‘l;‘.;i‘u;.sig.i;' ;;A.w VM, The Lake Shore and Michigan Southem’ﬁaﬂmﬂ@ﬁfé':glm purchased the “Gardher Road,” Fﬁhﬂm& from ‘Wﬁité’Pi“z,'ff!ﬂ’fﬁ?ixﬁiﬁi@?ﬁ?c’# d conocling M Boliim ) OO Megﬁg?g%“ggim the'extension of that liné riorth from Kalama: 200 to Grand Rapids.

Cox began his speech, in re‘sponse to the welcome he received in' New York, after this fashion: ‘“Geuntlemen, I thought T was over sult water. but your warm welcome has filled my eyes with it.” L Andrew A.
