A Failure in Justice. One of the grossest and most glaring fail- ures 1n the .cul‘rying out of justice that has ever occurred in Ontario is the case of And- rews the murderer. tried at assizes in Toron- to last week. before Justice Gait. The cir- cumstances of the case ard too fresh in the minds or our readers for us to repeat them here. The evidence conclusively showed that Andrew, after picking a. quarrel with Muroney, who threw the former down, de- liberately drew a revolver and shot Meroney. The jury. after hearing all the evidence, re- turned a verdict of murder, Judge Gult re- fused to accept the verdict, and ordered them back to reconsider their verdict charg- ing them to bring in a verdict of manslaught- er, and after an absence of half an hour brought in u Verdict. of manslaughter NOW both judge and jury were satisfied that he had shot Maroney, but because malice More thought was not shown Judge Galt compels a. jury to render a verdict contrary to their own convictions. Were one man to meet another for the first time upon the street and deliberately draw up and shoot him would it be manslaughter or murder? Murd- er most assuredly, though malice afore- thought could not be shown. More truly was Andrews guilty of murder. His previous good record could be no palliation for such he had not. He was also found guilty of shooting at P. C. Cuddy with intent to kill, and for the former he is sentenced to five years in penitentiary, and for the letter four years, the terms to run concurrently. which is only equal to five years in nll.. A more outrageous failure in justice could not well be imagined. That a judge should refuse to iiccept the verdict of an intelligent jury and send them back, and that they should change their verdict to suit the ideas of a justice who is in his dotuge is simply a caricature on justice. This is how the Lennox case strikes the New York World, a disinterested on100kerzâ€" " Sir John A. LIuchnilid, the Canadian statesman, has been unseated for the county of Lennox, which he was chosen to represent in the Canadian Parliament, for bribery. This is a good thing. Sir John Macdonald has been in the Ministry. When a man of 'much influence is unsented for corruption: it speaks well for Canadian laws and the manner in which they are enforced. But when we read that Sir John is also elected for Carleton, having a. double seat, as it were, in the Dominion House of Commons, and that he will still represent that county, though unseated for Lennox, our admiration i-x not great. The law ought to work dis- qualification for any seat on the conviction of a member." The new “ Hour ” standard adopted by the Time Convention which met in Chicago lately will be a. blessing to all trmellers. ‘There will be three “ times,” eastern, central and mountain. Trains from New Bruns- wick us far as the meridian of Detroit will run on “ eastern " time; those from the Detroit line to nearly the western line 0 Kansas on “ central ” time, while those mm the last point to a line between Nevada and Utha will be run on “ mountain ” time. The full measure of the value of such an arrangement can he appreciated when it is remembered that hitherto in places like Fuffalo for example, some trains run on Buffalo time, others on New York. others on Philadelphia, others on Columbia, others on Detroit and others on Hamilton time. 'l‘o Subscribers and Patrons. By another column of this issue it will be seen by our readers that since our last ap- pearance we have had the misfortune to meet With a very heavy loss. ' few minutes after the forms of our last edition were off press a fire burst forth in the building en- tailing a loss of seven or eight hundred d01- lars. Of this amount less than three hund- red dollars worth was covered by insurance, the building alone being insured. The re- mainder is total loss. Our subscribers and patrons will therefore see the necessity of our urgently requesting that all parties 111‘ debted to this office for subscription or job work would remit at once. Let there be a. hearty response to this request, and every subscriber not already paid up will oblige us by remitting the amount of their subscrip- tion by return mail. Come along. Sir John was not vet) voluminous, but he was exceedingly intense, in expressing him- self regarding Lennox. " D~â€"â€"Roe,” was all he said. But he said it with a vim. We are afraid that his attendance at the meeting of the Salvation Army in Kingston has not improved his morals to any great extentâ€"1f we may judge from his utterances. Judgment was glven in the West Slmcoe Election Appeal in the court of appeal Sat- urdzw. Chief Justice Spragg and Judge Osler delivered judgments, dismissing the appenlof Mr. Phelps, the liberal member, agninat the decision of the election court. Juage Burton dissented in an elaborate judgment. Judge Morrison was not on the bench, but it was announced that he con- curred with the chief justice.‘ RICHMOND HILL. FQBXQ," Nov. 2. ’83. ’iillw fiiheml. Hundreds nf letters from those using Ayer’s Hmr Vigor attest its value as a restorer of gray hmr to its natural color. As a. stimulant and tonic, preventing and ofgen curing baldness, and cleansing and soothing thn scalp, its use cannot be too sh‘ungly recommended. Trial provea that honesty is the best. policy in medicine as well as in other things: Ayer’s Sarsuparilla. is a genuine preparation, an unequalled blood purifier, decidedly superior to all others. Hard and soft corns cannot withstand Hollowav’s Corn Cure; it is effectual every time. (From our own Correspondent.) A Lacrosse Match was played on Friday 19th ult., between the “ Echos,” of Woodbridge and the “ Canada Firsts ” of Kleinbnrg on the ground of the latter. which resulted in a Victory for the Echos, who took three straight games in 45, 17, and 1] minutes respectively. The match was played in a friendly spirit, without any disyuting or exhibitions of temperâ€" a matter for congratulation, as the oppo- site is becoming too frequent in such conâ€" tests. Supper was provided at Mr. O’- Neill’s for the players, who, after doing ample justice to the good things provided separated with mutual expressions of good-will. The “ Canada First ” take their defeat complacently, as they have been organized but a few months, and have nut had more than half a dozen practices. The Peterboro’ Enaminer says Sir John Macdonald was Roe~d out of his seat in Lennox. It forgot to state that the Roe-lock was made of $2 and $520 bills and that he was honored with his Ro(w)e(r) having M. P. P. to his name. The Bothwell iniquity is at last to come to trial. The Judges have decided to con. sider the preliminary objections to the pe- tition against Hawkins on the 23rd inst., and it is probable that the main trial will come off not much later. The Napunee Expressfsays‘thut had the Lennox election trial not been brought to a speedy termination by the admission of the respondent of the guilt of his agents the de- velopments to follow would have even sur- passed in flagranoy of corruption those brought out. Mr. McCarthy, counsel for Sir John, knew this, hence the haste with which he threw up the sponge. “ The half has not been told.” A Toyy exchange which is somewhat down in the mouth because of the unseating of Sir John Macdonald, says :â€"It must be re- membered that Sir John was not personally responsible for the acts which brought about the result.” This sort of apology is not very satisfactory to the public, which regards it at least as a very improbable thing that Sir John should spend the whole of his time from before nomination until election with those bosom friends who were handing a- round those $20 bills so freely without his having some knowledge of it. It is a terribly degrading spectacle to see the Prime Minist- er a party to such barefeced corruption that the courts must declare his election void. AYER’S SARSAPARILLA cures Scrotum and all Scrofulous Complaints, Erysipâ€" elas, Eczema, Ringworm, Blotches, Sores, Balls, Tumors, and Eruptions of the Skin. It clears the blood of all impuâ€" rities, aids digestion, stimulates the action of the bowels, and thus restores vitality and strengthens the whole system. Six months ago I was completely covered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an incessant and intolerable itching, and the skin cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a burden. I commenced the use of the SARSAPARILLA in April last, and have used it; regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The sores have all healed, and I feel perfectly well in every respectâ€"being now able to do a good day’s work. although 73 years of age. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my case, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYER’S SARSAPARILLA. Glover, Vt., Oct. 21, 1882. Yours gratefully, HIRAM PHILLIPS.” has had in his case. I think his blood must have contained the humor for at least ten years ; but it did not show, except in the form of a scrofulous sore on the wrist, until about five years ago. From a few spots which ap- pearad at that time, it gradually spread so as to cover his entire body. I assure you he was terribly afliicted, and an object of pity, when he began using your medicine. Now, there are few men of his age who enjoy as good health as he has. I could easily name flfty persons Who would testify to the facts in his case. Yours truly, W. M.
