The object of these Ir.uuN, If frauds there wcie, was to large ; ly enhanei' the republican majority, l'or , a time the f.ict wn petsUlently denied, but i finally, nil men came to believe therein. ! The linlh of Ihe mailer was that 11 corrupt j ring mled thecilyof Philadelphia, as did a i similar one New Yoik. Neither of them eaied for polities, except so far as it might , pcipetuato themselves in power and enrich their favorite. The good, honest lepubll cans of IVniKslt.inla were powcilcss he roic them. They strove to nominate honest men and have hone-t elections, hut the ring was too much for them. It I'm mod a combination with the democrats ami lode on the tide.

The fact that Immense frauds have been coin lliltted 1:1 the l'lrd.idelphl.i eleetlons lias been demonstrated, and it M'enis strange that such stupid blumlcieis should have succeeded so long In imposing themselves on I In city. Tlie law lequhcs tint tlie Votes shall be counted eveiy hour, and some of the statements of these counts are published ill tlie Philadelphia l.alger. In the nineteenth ward, the aggregate vote, it says against the constitution, undei its various manipulation, was reported as foliowb: At 10 a.

Tlie vote reported for the constitution presents slmi laily man clous phenomena." The explan ation is that the managers became fright ened, or concluded it would do no good, and, theicforc, changed the lesults so as to approximate to what an honest count would I ave been. We do tint pioposo to comment on tins sintemem. nccause it is unnecessary.

The i iirie-nt of e'onviclions in the "ring trial"-lias been checked by the acquittal ol A. Oakley Hall. The i haigo against him, as stated by .fudge Daniels, was "for will fully neglecting the pcifoiniance of an official duly." That duty was to "audit" claims against the city or ceainty of New Veirk. There is no claim lli.it he actually audited' Iho claims, iuthetiuo meaning ot the word, or in Ihe meaning of the law, hut the verdict of tlie juiy seems to have turned upon Hie won! "willful." We do not propose, now or ever, lo discuss the verdict of a juiy or the decision of a court except In so fur as it may affect pub lic policy and the general wi'lfare of the community. To this extent and no fur tlie.', in our judgment, aie they proper subjects of criticisms and comment.

If wo re member the rule conectly, vetdict aro of no weight, so far as the trial and decision of oilier cause.! aie eoncenied, oxe ept when other cases iii o dependent upon the bamo stale of facts, and where substantially the same parties an; involved. In some of these cases where a court nnd jury have pa'seil upon a given state of facts, and the relations of nil the panics me btought out and considered .although, they may not all be actual pailies to that particular ease -the judgment and veiitlet Is held lo de cide the other cases ; It is cuisldetctl, us It is technically called, m iii)iul!eata, a matter determined. Wo may he mistaken as to iho extiuit to which Iho doctrine U carried, but wo believe thu principle to lie correctly stated. Although this case of Mayor Hall cannot be strictly taken as a pi eeedent, yet there is great danger Hint the matter dctciniiued thereby may bu followed hereafter in siml lar eases. If Ihe verdict of tlie jury i.s to lio taken as a proper construction of the word "willful," there will bo no trouble, hereafter, in obtaining payment of fraudu lent bills i in fact, thcro will he no neces sity for auditing, Tlio statutes of New Yen k required that certain persons should "audit" certain hills, and lint, upon their certificate, they should ho paid by the prop, cr olllcer. As stated by Judge Daniels, It was required that these claims should bo "audited, examined and reported," and that they "hould bo only paid after Ihey were " inado the subject of examination, so as " to ascertain that they weie falily and " legally due." Thciervviisnopictenselhat Mayor JIall examined these claims. U is conceded that they were in4 ' fairly and legally due," but were, e n the contrary, false nnd fraudulent, It Is, moreover, evi dent that if Mayor Hall hod "audited and ernmlnei" (h 1 , iM cred. It was not clalnvd, on the part of the pi execution, that ho lecclvcd any money ' from these fraudulent claims. Wo believe that he did not, and that If he lnd known the extent to which the cltv was being rob- bed, he would have cndenvoied to put n . m pt0vliled by law tome method for their stop thereto. Here 1? the point upon whHi distribution ( documents have been printed his liability to conviction and punishment ' t g,-cnt cost to the Government, which In rests. lie should have known it. Ho was i many Instances are useless ; those to whom granted Ids powers for the express purpose tlicy are sent do not lead them ; no docu of guarding the ticatury. It was his duty i mcnls, unless a small number for public to examine thee claims. He utterly neg- libraries, should be pilntcd until those who lectcd and failed so lo do. As we; under, stand the meaning of Ihe wend' "crime'' and criminal," It may be, and douhtlc" is, line that he was nol the '.tie and had not e;ommltted the oilier. He was appointed to do ccitaln acts and neglected lodothiau. The statute makes the peison "willfully" neglecting to do these acts guilty of a nils demeanor. If "willfully" means nn thing It means "knowingly," and the jury have Mild that he did not knowingly neglect (Id duly. If Mayor Hall was half-wilted or stolidly ignorant, liieie might have been some sense1 In tlio verdict It'll he Is an educated man and an nble lawyer, mid niusi i have known his dnlies.

On this thiesholil of silence wo nru knocking at tho (loots of voting discovery. Since the railroad lias been opened success has been established for thu future ami It will bo maintained by every new discovery. Those mountains contain tho nilghtytio.asurcswhlch willlift tho burden of debt from this nation, and now hi silence they await thu lamp-rub of some Yankee Alladin to people those val leys with cities mightier thauTyio or Sldon of old, Cotnstock I.cdye, In Nevada, alone has yielded fifteen millions of dollars in silver to tho San Francisco Stock Hx. change. Tlieso nro powers that make and unmake governors and United States Sen ators on tho Pacific coast. Tho speaker then told somo Interesting experiences of miners who had corno to Hint legion to make their fortunes. News paper conespondents, ho continued, had long been In the habit of writing up the glories of tho lllustrlal future of the far west from n car window. Tho speaker then suggest d tho taking his hearers a hrlf trfo hron li H Pacific at Klko, wo take our Journey south, word. We biealhe in the nromallc odors of the country and strike out from the patli to tlio silent mountains, whose bold nnd ghastly heights have In them the look of nu earthquake. We cross iicseits whoso silence is so ilccp It seems to cry out nt nut approach alone with Hie feathered song steis of tlio air. So journeying southward wo pass the mining towns nndln tin ee days enter the Cathedral Canyon, whoso lime stone walls tower two thousand feet above us, and amid some of whose cliffs the sun never shines. Wo soon strike the "Death Valley," whoso buiulshed suifuce shines under the heat of a liopical sun. Its soil is one vat quaking morass which ten min utes of ram will change Into a bed of mental-over whtch a tabblt could not nui with out being draw n to death.

They must ho looked upon witli ' J little hatred and with much compx'sinn as I sen u.inioi.iteii victims ot a cruel oiriiir- ; liu. The altar of conlugal love never I burns in their home. The tiros have for- I ever gone out. Tho wife hears no music In the husband's footstep, no sweet solace hi the Icngthlng chain of nolvgamv. while cm the cold hearth of buried hopes thu owl forever sits and jabbers of tho joyless pas sion, lis social life is in brazen antag onism to lepubllcan civilization. .Much of missioiruy work is yet to lie done in Utah, llungling politicians make not the best of husbandmen, while the last inlhix of Gentiles Inil to incicase the stock of piety in Salt Lake City.

Tho railroad has stri '-u it a mental blow, and isolation no li.iu.- -r guards it ns of old.

Those gallant men who have explored tlio trackless wilderness ot the west? They have gone forth from your farms, your factories and your shop, slicing nnd energetic of putpos'c, tiiu best of your boys and gill, to plant thu seeds ot the coming empire. In their behalf the speaker would nsk a iccognitiou of their enterprise. Most of Iho men ate bache lors and vagabonds inanv as bachelors usu ally aie: reckless of gold, and icadicr with rille than seriptme quotations ; not unac customed, pcihaps, to good society, but reeking it not : always icady to relate won dcrful experiences lo tourists which mo prepared for their especial edification.

The dpeaker then lecounted several anec dotes Illustrating Iho peculiarities of thu miners, each of which were told lu Hie fpeakcr'a Inimitable, way and convulsed the audience eveiy one. Ot a deacon lu Nevada who Introduced a now minister to thu con gregatlon as "aneiiilneiit gospel-sharp from Massachusetts," Of n distnct judge in n land case who spoko of n construction Jeticc) as "a placo wheie theie ought to bo a fence, but tlio evidence failed lo "'pan' one out."

The lot fell lo a miner unused to 1 .les' society. He put tho box on to a o licelh.it row and trundled It olf to the cot tage of the late lamented Mr. Ilagley. He knocked nt tlie door ami asked Mr. II. as she came to his call, "Does the wulder Ilagley live here?" "No, sir, there's no widow lives here." "I'll bet you two do, larsnnd nhnlf she does.
