IN the rowing mateh between HANLAN and Boyp, on the Tyne this morning, the in- vincible Canadian was as usual victorious. Mr. FILLEY doesn’t seem to be able to swing all the post-offices injthis State. Two of his especial favorites were crushed in the Senate the other day. ~~ — THE removal of JESSK JAMES will prove a big card for the CRITTENDEN administration, but it will hardly cover the blunder of the called session of the Legislature. SINCE the defeat of the Republican: ticket in Cincinnati the Conwnercial feels called up- on to printan immense cut of King Gambri- nus, with afoaming mug of beer in band. He is modestly referred to as *‘The Boss.” WESTERN river steamers that carry jute should not be allowed to carry passengers. Or perhaps a better way to put it would be to say that Western steamers that carry pas- sengers should be prohibited from carrying jute cargoes. IF it will please the chivalric gentleman in the Republican office any better we- will speak of the late Missouri bandit as Colonel” JAMES. This will mingle beautifully with the picturesque names of Colonel GEORGE and Colone! JOHN. ONE of OAKES AMES’ son+ has purchased an interestin the Boston Adrertiscr. If the old man had invested more money in news- papers and less in loose Congressmen during his life, his reputation would be in a better state of preservation now. It will be observed that when the mother of JESSE JAMES gazed upon the body of her son yesterday, she cried outin her anguish: ‘“*My poor boy, my dear son, my darling good boy.’? ‘The mother, as usua!, does not agree with the verdict ofthe public touching the waywardness of the deceased. _ THE public censor in Russia has solemnly disapproved of the revised New Testament. . Even the unrevised edition is lovked upon in the Czar’s dominions a3 a dangerous and in- cendiary work because it has a tendency to instill the doctrine of the equalitv of men. oe eee THE Republicans are running a man named Ross for the Board of Public Works in Cin- cinnat to-day, and the Commercial intimates that if Ross is defeated the Republican Lec- islature will wipe out the Board completely. This is a novel style of electioneering, and it ought to be paten‘ed. It is said that President ARTHUR has made up his mind to recsll Minister LOWELL from the Court of St. James on accountof his luke- warmness in the cauge of Irish-American citi- zens imprisoned in British jails. If he does this at once he will overtake and upset some of the prejudicccreated by his vetoof the anti-Chinese bi!). A NUMBER of capitalists in Philadelphia, who have advanced money to KERLY,. the Motor man, have commenced proceedings against the inventor to compel him “to sur- render his secret to the shareholders.” It is suspected that Mr. KEELY has not yet suc- ceeded in persuading Nature to surrender her little secret to him. — MR. REUBEN SPRINGER, the Cincinnati MACANAS, has just given $40,000 more to the Cincinnati College cf Music, the money to be used for an additional building. If Mr. SPRINGER could only hire Col. GrorGre WARD NICHOLS to couple freight cars fora few months, he would render his pet music school a great and lasting benefit. Is it nota little humiliating tnat, although Governor CRITTENDEN knew for weeks and months that JESSE JAMES was located en famille in St. Joseph, he dared not employ the great power at his command to effect his cap- ture? He had all the militia and all the civil power of the State at his back, and yet he conspired to have the man shot to death like a mad dog by two hired murderers. UNLESs the State of Missouri is re-appor- tioned in such a way as toexactly suit the five thousand Democratic gentlemen who Czar is trying to frighten his enemies by the seem to tnderstand thatthey are doing avery fair business when they cin trade two lives for a big Russian General. Our readers will be pleased to learn that our second HoePerfecting Press—an improved duplicate of the one now in use in our office— is now completed and is being tested in the shop in New York.

MR, BREWSTER, the Nubob lawyer who furnishes legal opinions for Mr. ARTHUR'S aristocratic Cabinet, is urging the veto of the anti-Chinese bill on hieh constitutional! ground. What connection is there between the gaudy yetlow wheels of Mr. BREWSTER’S heraldic carriage and the great yellow dragon of the Celestial Empire? Can it be that BREWSTER is a Mongolian nobleman dis- guised in !ace rufiles? Yellow is the imperial color in China. PLAIN ENGLISH, In an interview with Goy. CRITTENDEN the latter expressed himself as follows: ‘*‘What were vour instructions to the Ford brothers? Did you instruct them to cupture Jesse Jamesif possible before attempting to shoot him, or dia you give them to understand thati¢c was wholly discretionary with them whether they killed him or captured him alive?’’ ‘‘T will answer youinthis wav: lam satis- fied with the result of their action, and I teel confident thatit wili meet with the sanction of every law-abiding citizen, not only of this State, but throuchout the United States, who has a proper understanding of the surround. ings of the case and a due appreciation of the entorcementofthelaw, even if the instru- mentalities bear not upon their face a true exhibit ot justice. Still, time will develop that the end justifies the means.’’ Time bas already developed that Gov. CRITTENDEN and all the authorities of St. Joseph and Kansas City knew that JAMES was living in St. Joseph ever since last Christ- mas; that every one of his movements was carefully reported to and known by them; that nevertheless they did not arrest him to vindicate the law, but deliberately hired two scoundrels to cowardly asssssinate JAMES, pledging themselves to complete immunity and heavy blood pay. Is thisa nice business for a Governor of this State to beengaged in? Is this the boasted vindication of law and justice? Is this much glory tothe honor and power of a great State like Missouri? Is this the spirit of modern civilization’ Or is it assassination for pay—assassination as a regular paying business—assassination made to order—as- sassination by order of the Governor, precise- ly in the style of the rulers of the Dark Ages? Assassination by order of the Governor is as dangerous, 2s demoralizing, as disgusting and-as abhorrent a principle and practice as assassination by order of any low criminal in the State, The end dogs not justifv the means,’ The means do not justify the end. it is ashame and disgrace tothe State of Missouri that in this age and eraits Chief Magistrate should openly avow that justice could not be secured by law and courts, that an outlaw known to quietly live in a certain city could not be otherwise secured than by hired, brutal, mis- erable murder—by the order of the Governor. promptness of his severity, but the Nihilists | ‘another chance to talk about her. It is a most singular wedding, accomplished in a most peculiar way. Nobody ever heard of the DaMaTA before, who seems to be a Greek actor. Nobody was warned that wed- lock was in the wind. The twain quietly walked into church and were made one, but the very quietness which attended the cere- mony makes it remarkable. Decidedly this is the BERNHARDT’S greatest and last covp. There are no other worlds for her to con- quer. LS THE VANDERBILTS. If old Commodore VANDERBILT can look down, or up, from the other world, he must be more strongly convinced than ever that Wealth does not always insure a respectable life or an enviable death. And he may be puzzled to decide which son to pity most: the one who blew his brains out Sunday, or brother’s mangled corpse without emotion, gave afew directions about the funeral, and then entered his cariiage and drove away to ‘ook after his stocks and bonds. If change of spheres has produced a proper change in the old man’s ideas on stich sublunary mat- ters, he must, in view of all that has transpired in his family since his death, be pretty thoroughly con- vinced that in devoting every energy of soul and body to the accumulation of money for such heirs he wasin very poor business. To what extent the alleged constitutional epilepsy affected the mind and morals of Cor: NELIUS JEREMIAH, it is impossible to say; but there seems to ve no doubt that his fifty- two years were sadly wasted and misspent, and that he succeeded in getting through more than the average term of human ex- istence without doing any good for himself or anybody else. The father may or may not have been justified in turning the worthless son outof doors and leaving him only the smallest slice of a vast fortune; but the son thus treated cannot be severely blamed for resenting and resisting the latter performance and demanding from his brother a more liberal share of ,the paternal riches. On a certain occasion, the story goes, the rough Commodore was waited apon forasubscription to some eharitable object. He promptly and profanely declined, and when urged to reconsider remarked:. ‘‘Thaye this satisfaction, gentlemen, that when Il die I shall leave my money to a damned sight meaner man than Iam.’’ The general opinion is that his diagnosis was em- inently correct. WILLIAM H.,it is said, in- a wealth of Missouri, and, having run the outlaw to cover, it would untarily follow the pursuitof crime should be taught that there is no confidence to be placed in those whom they choose to tegard as confederates when there are alluring re- wards flying in the air; but thereis net one manly man in Missouri to-day who does not his father’s name and fame was done that could be, gave the brother and sister some- thing handsome to quit. He is now reported completed a palace for his own resi- dence costing, with contents, perhaps balf as much as royal Windsor. Such 4 man is not likely to have his dreams disturbed by the paternal or fraternal ghost,or his digestion upset by the pangs of a troubled conscience. THE JAMES PRAGEDY. However much we may feel inclined to rejoice over the removal of the desperado J¥ssE JAMES from the warm precincts of eternal day, every sentiment of manhbood and humanity must revolt egainst the mia- ner of his taking off. He was an outlaw, an enemy of society, and the bleed of innocent men fairly reeked on his hands, and yet there is no evidence that he ever took a human li‘e through methods that were either cowardiy There must be a feel- the inner heart of midst of hisown family, by two boys who were bound to him by ties of relationship and They sat at his tabie, ate his The history of the worid scaree furnishes a parallel in mendacity and treach- with all its vast power, dignitv and force, was behind these youthful detectives, have been an easy matter for them to cap- But that would have involved a They chose itis sad ing pride for a share of the VANDERBILT name and treasure. THE Coroner’s Jury at St. Joseph, called to sit upon the corpse of Colonel JESSE JAMEs, returned a verdict vesterday to the effect that the outiaw came to his death at the hands of the Forp boys. This finding commits the young men as murderers. Of course they have the assurance of the State authorities that they will not be held answerable to law. Nevertheless it seems to us that it will be nee- essary to try them on the charge of murder. If convicted the Governor can pardon them, and this is probably the process to be carried out. We must repeat emphatically what we said yesterday touching this affair. The kill- ing of JAMES—outlaw, miscreant and scoun- dre] that he was—was a treacherous, cowardly act and a disgrace to the State authorities who connived at it. The Forp boys took the creature’s life in cold blood and for gain. It would bave been an easy matter for them to secure a posse and capture the bandit alive, but this would have involved a distribution of the reward and some personal risk. There is nothing to show that they could not have bound the desperado in his sleep or lassoed himin an unguarded moment and turned him over to the authorities alive. They preferred to take no chances and so they blew out the brains of their friend when his back was turned, and entered their claim for the $10,000 reward while the bouy was stillwarm. Speaking of this bloody, eruel and mercenary act, the Chicago Jnter: Ocean says: sutshould the Fords not betried for mur- der and punished like other assassins are? They were not officers of the State enforeing the law; they were simply cowardly assassins. Sergt. Mason is sent to the penitentiary for eight years for firing a random shot ata mis- erabie eur of ae cae and his offense may be excusable by arguments of prejadice and passion, while there is no excuse for the method used to rid the world of Jesse James. This is the sentiment, we believe, of every manly, honest person who reads the details of this sickening crime. Morally there is nota particle of difference between JES&E JAMES shooting an express messenger for money and Bos ForD shooting Jesse James for the reward set upon his head. Tuk big Republican brewers and distillers of Cincinnati will testify their disapproba- tion of the Pond bill by voting against the tepublicans intoe municipal election hetd to-day. Ohio has not been fortunate with her temperance legislation. For many years past there has been a law forbidding the sale of liquer to be drunk on the premises, but this law became a dead letter almost as soon as it passed. The Pond bill provides a heavy license Which each saloon will have to pay, and requires a bond to be given by the dram- shop keeper that the law will be observed. In Cincinnati the license is $300 and the bond $1,000, and consequently a great many of the grog-shops wiil bave to close up. The lead- ing brewers have declared that, in conse- quence of this legislation, they and their employes, numbering over 2,500, will vote the Democratic ticket—a move which almost in- sures a Democratic vietory in Porkopoiis. ———— WE are not at all surprised to find that the back ailey warriors of the epublican heartily tiated themselves as confederates, lived in his house as friends and thea shot him frem be- hind when he was wsthetically engaged in dusting a picture. This style of warfare is much admired by the Republican Cossacks and peace Colonels. When a hired rvffian steals up behind a gentleman on the street ner and then runs away, the stalwart fighters of the Republican applaud his act and virtual- ly make a hero out ofhim. The only editor- ial gladiator connected with the paper who has given battle for several years should have adopted the plan so successfully carried out by the young man who killed JESSE JAMES. They have a theory down at the Re- publican Office that itis a merciful act to as- sault a man from bebind when he is compos-. ing a poem, contemplating a picture or trim- miog bis nails. It saves the victim & vast amount of mental horror. Tue Rev. Mr. MILN, the agnostic gentle- man who recently kicked himself out of a paying pulpit in Chicago because he couldn’t reconcile himself any longer to the theory of hell, delivered a lecture to a $50 audience in the Grand Opera-house in this city yesterday. Mr. MILN is an eloquent man, with asmooth face, avortly presence and an excellent ap- petite, but he will discover that there is no money just now in infidel lectures. Bos IN- GERSOLL was the first to enter that fleld and the harvest belongs to him. There is nothing new or strange in what Mr. MILN has to say on the subject of religion., People have been talking after his style ever since the cruci- fixion, but the difference ia that two hundred years ago heretics were burned and whipped and now people listen tothem and even pay for the privilege in a small way. The world has grown too loose and too tolerantto make war On a man who doesn’t know how to take care of his own valuable soul. — a aa ae SPEAKING of the coming special session of the Legislature, one of our highly respected and revered weekly contemporaries says: “This is a victory for the St. Louis Republican and the Rural Roosters.””’ Was it a great vic- tory for JEFF. Davis when he induced the people of the South to embark in rebellion? Was ita proud triumph for NAPOLEON when he secured the consent of the French people to go up into Belgium and fight the battle of Waterloo? Not exactly. It is well always to wait for results before measuring the length’ breadth and thickness of victories. If this special gerrymandering session should result n breaking up Democratic control in the State of Missouri perhaps the Rural Roosters who now crow so lustily, and their able donkey leader, the /?epudlican, might feel disposed to retire for a few weeks to the cavernous re- cesses of the Hepsidam Mountains, “where the lion roareth aad the whangdoodle mourn- eth for her first-born.” a AFTER the ForD boys had located JESSE JAMES in a domicile in St. Joseph there was nothing to do but wait for a favorable oppor- tunity and then shoot the desperado. They were in confidential communication with the authorities and Gov. CRITTENDEN knew of their scheme. When everything was report- ed in readiness, the Governor should have gone down, poked a double-barreled shot- gun through a window and bagged the bandit himself. He could have turned the reward over to the State, accepting simply a United States Senatorship for histrouble. The Gov- ernor missed the great opportunity of bis life. a ee ee ne THE Mayor of Boston has created a sensa - tion in that inteliectual city by quietly decap- itating three Police Commissioners for not doing their duty in suppressing the houses of ill-fame ana the gambling dens of the town. It is said that the Mayor’s acfion was due to the fact that the law-abiding element of Boston, disgusted at the conduct of these Commissioners, were press- ing for legislation, vesting the appointment of the Police Board in the hands of the Gov- ernor, as in St. Louis and other cities, There seems to be eomething about police boards which makes people yearn for some other kind of a commission, no matter what they have. CONGRESS hag very kindly appropriated +100,000 for the relief of the flood sufferers in the South. A few years ago the Supreme Court decided the special cotton tax uncen- etitutional. The Government had colleeted several million dollars from this source. The money ought to bave been returned to the Soutbern p'anters, but not a doliar of it was ever refunded. The Mississippi Valley is en- titled to a large percentage of this rebate and now is the time to turnit loose in the dis- tressed section.
