JUSTICE IN NEW JERSEY.
Nine public functionaries of Warren
county, N. J., have b en convicted of
malfeasance in office and Hentenced to
hard labor in the State Prison for per
iods of from one to sixteen years each.
Forty-five years is the aggregate of im
prisonment inflicted on all the corrupt
officials thus far found guilty. Conspi
racy to cheat .and defraud the town, and
forgery to help out the purposes of the
conspiracy, are the crimes of which all
1 he^e men have been found guilty. As
official thievery, more or less extensive,
is the vice of the times, and one to be
found everywhere, the news of these
verdicts will startle the country, and
many towns will be stirred up to emulate
within their own limit« the energetic
action of Phi lips burg. It may be a bad ^
year for thieves.—A'. Y. Herald.
The claim of a Pittsburg
widow's dower in the estate ot the late
Robert W. MacKey becam e of her mar
riage to him many years ago, elicits very
general discussion by public journals and
jioliticians who were well acquaint'd
with the great Republican leader. The
fact th «t the elaim is in the hands of at
torneys of high character, personally and
professionally, as Messrs. Hampton and
Dalzell, gives assurance that it is not one
manufactured by unscrupulous counsel,
but the general judgment of those who
have knowledge of the lasUs, habits and
purposes of Mr. Mackey's life, will be
decided by the fact that the claimant,
w illow , presents two children as hav
ing been left unprovided for by Mr.
Mackey, although their father and the
lawful husband of their mother.
Mr. Mackey was a social law un'o him
self, and it might not be regarded as in
consistent Jwitb his generally conceived
character, if shown that he had left a le
gally-wedded w ife behind him, but there
aie lew who will believe that he could
have left a wife uucared for, and fewer
still who will believe that lie could have
left bis own children unnamed in a will
that disposes his whole estate to others.
If he had children, whether the offspring
of a trusted or a discarded wife, it w ould
seem to be at variance with every known
attribute of his character to deny them
inheritance of his estate, and leave them
friendless and fortuneless iu the world.

Evert one will wish that the fugi
tive Cheyennes could have been subdued
by some other process than extermination,
but it must not be forgotten that these
partleu'ar savages had made themselves
out law s,plundering and murdering in the
purpose to have their own lawless ways.
It is not the fact that they were starved
or ill treated on their reservation. A friend
haste tiffed that they left the reservation
in the Indian Territory because they
would not work, and were determined
not to stay, or to give trouble if they were
compelled. They absconded, and left
their track of devastation along the line
of their raid across the State of Kausas
and Nebraska. They defied the law and
and the Government; they would not
surrender; nothing remained but force,
aud the tragic termination was Inevitable.
