DOES VINDICATION" VINDICATE t
SJoro than a wcek before the a :
rival in Omaha of Special Agci
Hawley , ihe Omaha postal corru ]
tionists openly boasted their abilit
to "box him up. " Mr. Hawley
M
now * herej and , much as wo jcgn
it , we arc , unfortunately , forced i
the conclusion that ho is effectual !
boxed. From the Very outset tb
pretended investigation condticte
by him in the interest of the Go\
ernment has proved a transparci
and' disgraceful sham. "While tL
party that preferred the gray
charges "against Messrs. Yost an
Furay was denied the privilege <
counsel in examining witnesses
f IivsHawley has throughout acte
* ns the attorney of the accused.
Instead of'nn impartial investigi
tor he assumed the role of vindicc
tor. In fact he openly sought to cs
culpatethe acctibcd by the most ir
C1 gemous sophistry.
"While conceding Mr. Hawley' '
merlt.as n vindicator of postal ras
cality , the BEn doubts .excecdingl
, , whether his .style of viudicatioi
f "will vindicate before an unprejudi
" ced populaf frlbunalL -
"In' order that our readers ma ;

establishnieiit into n bianch i > est
office by pbrmitting I'attec to putu ]
his owa. laail and cancel the stamps
Mrv Ycst acknowledged the fact
and Mr. Hawley promptly remark
ed that Ibis was somewhat irregula
but inasmuch as iPatlec was a libera
patron of the postoflico there could b
o harm iu letting him cancel hii
\ stamps Bince it saved the clerks ii
Cjethc postoflico much labor.
y. .Now" we defy Mr. Hawley to cit
- a single instance where -the Post
' office Department has ever grantc <
% a permit toany merchant , banke
; ? or journalist to put "up , stamp am
* fc1 ? uS'roail on his own premise
"
" land" without the persouol super
jjyisiou 'ofa sworn postal clerk
3Iuch less can Mr. Hawley cite ai
instance where the Postofllcc Department
-partment has granted such cxtraor
vdiiiary privileges to a lottery mana
'gen Again , the same witness tcs
Miffed that postmaster Yost had hr
* turned over all jnquirie
to him by mail conceniinj
reliability of Pat
lottery to Mr. Pattce , and Mr
Hawley declares there is noUiinj
wrong about that , "I might liavi
done the same thing. "
" \Vasnohsucliaii act-ait oinphall
endorsement of the lottery swindle' '
r rAngahi ; when -Yost aclnio\vlcdge <
" "tVat he had received anil accepted :
- * set of silver service from Patlcc , Mr
Hawley thought there was nothing
improper about Uiat. Taken in con
jiectioa v.ith the extraordinary
mailing facilities enjoyed by "Mr.
Pattee , does Mr. Hawley believe
this munificent gift was not well
earned' '
And now we come to Mr. 5per-
ry's testimony , which can. be .cor
roborated by the pay rolls Jnjhe
Omaha post office. .Sperry 'testifies
that he signed the pay roll for$125
each month , of which amount he
only received $100 and Yost retained
the balance. Mr. Sperry. served
ten months in the office and the
Government was thus deliberately
defrauded out of $250.
Mr. Hawley thinks that was also
somewhat irregular. In fact , he in
clines to the opinion that it would
have been sufficient cause to prevent
Yost's appointment , but inasmuch
as it was done during Griffin's administration -
ministration , it is questionable
whether Yost should now be held t
uccount for it. ,
"Under this code of morals the
promotion of a public thief would
debar the Government from dis-
misfeing him , providing the thefj
was committed before he was pro
raoted. This is a bold and'danger
ous declaration , that a public officei
known to be dishonest and odrrup
may still hold a responsible positior
of honor , profit and trust.
Against this monstrous and in
famous doctrine the BEE enters it
solemn protest , both as a publii
journal and a representative of th <
Republican party. That party can
not afford to invent or forge excuse
for public corruptionists , nor wil
the BEE lend itself to such a suicida
task. Jf Ur. TTawley is disposed t
make the postal Investigation i
farce , nobody can prevent bira , "bu
let him not attempt to vindicat
what cannot honorably be vindi

AN IHPOBTAHT DBOISIOIT ,
A decision involving very impoi
tant principles touching the right
of pubh'c carriers was rendered i
the U. S. Circuit Court of Illinois
on Tuesday , in the case of the AI
lantic & Pacific Telegraph Compc
ny against Chicago , Rock Island i
Pacific Railroad Company. Th
Telegraph Company accepting tb
act of Congress of July 34 , J88 < 5 , f
titled "an act to aid in erecting tel <
graph lines , aud to secure to th
government the use of the same fi
postal and military , and other pui
posei , ' ' commenced the constructio
of a line along the route (
the R.ock Island Rail Roac
between Chicago ami" Qah ? } } :
The railroad company ordered tli
telegraph company to desist after
IHW poles were set Therefore tl
telegraph cqrnpany appealed to tb
United States Circuit Court for a
injunction restraining the ralirpa
company from interfering with.tb
construction of their lines , clalmln
that , as the Rock Island road cai
ried the "United States mail , it wi
a post road and came under tb
provisions of the act of 1SGC.
It was claimed in bqhajf the raj
road company , that the aot in quo :
tion applied only to roads travesin
public domain. That the right
way which had been condemne
and purchased by the railroad undc
the State laws was the property t
the railroad company , and und <
the fifth amendment to the Const
tutlon , could not be taken withoi
compensation.
JudgeDrummond in ills dcclslo
held that the act of July 24,1861
limits the powers therein conferre
to such military and postal roads (
the United States as are owned c
exclusively controlled by the go\
ernment. That the act does nc
include railroads which have bee
designated as post routes by otlu
acts of Congress , over which th
government exercises no cor
trol , but simply contracts Ic
the carriage of the mail
of the United States. Tha
neither under the act of 18C6 nc
under any other act can Congres
take or authorize the. taking of th
private property of a railfoad' coi
poration for the purpose.of erectin
and maintaining a telegraph lin
without compensation for the frau
ebisc so sought to be granted.
The Hennonites at Castle Garden
Among the emigrants now a
Castld Garden , are about COO Men
jiouite ? . If these are a fair sampl
of those who are to follow , we ma ;
expect the great body of emigraii
Mcnuonite * about to come to th
United States from Russia , to , rivn
their brethren in Pennsylvania am
Maryland , and the States of th
Northwe t , whose ancestors cam
here before the Revolution Mos
readers will recall the , singular his
torical fact , that even Frank
lin opposed the emigratioi
of these people to the Province o
Pennsylvania , and yet they are to
day the bone and sinew of tha
'
great co'mmonwealth. The.so-callec
Scotch-Irish , though proverbially i
thrifty race , had no chance in eon
tending with the steady indusrn
and economy of the German rclig
ionisls , and to-uay many of thi
most mngnificenf farms in theStafi
are owned by the Meunonites. Oui
fact as .significant as it is remarkabli
is that such a , thing as poverty isam
always has been , unknown among
them. A poor Mennonite is harder t <
find than a rich gambler. Tin
reaMtJi of this is that they teacl
their children industry and frugality
as a rc-ligious duty , and laziness anc
Ihrlftkv&ness , are among them
vices to be particularly avoided
