( hie il' tlic ri'iisonsliir the wcllgrininikil I'liinpluintK nl tli pul ilio, ;uiil a strong priiuioU'r ot' the sentiments which i tisti- lies lvnoli law, lire the delays in which persons charged with crime are brought to justice, ami the laeilities with which continuances or removals are obtained. And to this may lie added the Irivolity apparently, of the reasons upon which appeals arc taken up to the supreme court. True, this may '.ic regarded a: sacred and inalienable riht, but one it is reasonable to be supposed is designed It be based upon jjoml and substantial rea sons, not be granted ro t'nrnui merely, as it almost invariably is. The rii;ht ol removal of trials to other counties lia been much abridged byreeeut legislation perhaps to an exlcul of limitation that may not wisely or justly be curtailed, be cause it will occur to every experience that, from prejudices for or against the accused, or the imnrcssivc character ol the crime which makes the furniation or expression of opinion inevitable, except to such as, with all information of fact developed on trial, are still so devoid ol iutcllinenee as to disable them from form injj an opinion, a just and fair trial can not be had. The most tlaiant abuse and the source of most of the delays complained of arc the continuances which have so many reasons assigned for the askini.r and the irrnntin'', that it is dllllcult to draw the line between pretext anil truth. It may be safely suspected that collusion and procurement have much to do with an evil so j;reat as to have created the ex isting distrust in the execution of the law. I lie public Have riijlits m tneduceourse ol law, because upon it hans the security ot'lilcand property. The accused has rights also in the full measure of the curitics guaranteed by the law. As tile riht to speedy trial is guaranteed to the accused, so that he be not unduly strained, if innocent, of his riiihtsand lib erties, so should the rii;ht be reciprocal so that society be not restrained, delayed or defeated in its claim to impose the penalties authorized by the laws upon the assailant of its safety. The following from the Maltiniore Sun, extracts from comments upon the recommendation of a recent raud jury of Haltimorc, have wide application: To defer trial for mouths is to consult the convenience and interest of criminals The existing custom ol dclav is so favor able to the escape of the truilty that it nuhi seem to be the product of then perverse inm'nuitv, or of that ot'thcii lawyers. When a case is tried irnmedia tcly alter the occurrence which is the basis of indictment the conditions favor a just verdict the aeouiltal of the inn cent, the conviction of the tinillv. The witnesses arc then at hand; thcirnicmor is fresh ; they state the lads. The court is alert, anil the trial, no matter bow it ends, appeals to the moral sense of the community. Some mouths later the situation is perhaps wholly changed. The most important witnesses may be dead or spirited away, or their memories may have failed them to such an extent that they are unable tiimake a clear and consistent narrative of facts. They have really forgotten them," says the j;raiil jury, coming to their defense against the charge of perjury now so freely made against them. Few persons care to assert positively, after the lapse of several months, what occurred at a particular moment, or in what order. several ditVerent events may have hap- ieneil. .Not many are able to tell what theydidata particular hour five (lavs before, or even yesterday. This uncer tamty, which increases with the length of the interval between the commission of a crime and the trial, disposes wit nesses to minimize their evidence as much as possible. Sometimes, it is, perha in fear ol the cross-examination, tor which the defendant's lawyer has made he knows, very thorough preparation. At other tunes the lonij interval, liesid impairing the witness's recollection, has lessened his reprobation of evil deed and tonehiiif; him with pity forthedetendaut as a man who has already "suffered enough." He the cause what it ni.'iv. it is notorious that delay is the favorite device of the shrewd criminal lawyer wlui has an exceptionally had case. A KOW IK THE INTKRNA- TIONAI, C()MiHi:.SN. We suggested the other day. that in the representation of the American States to lie assembled in international congress, ti possible cause of discord might arise from the fidgety vanity of the proud and prosperous republic of Chili. This has been verified already, but from circumstances which justifies Chili in her ill humor. The congress, without much consideration of the question of rights and proprieties, elected Mr. Hlaine, Secre tary of State of the I'nited States, as its president, probably with purpose to do honor to the head of all the Anieric.'i governments by placing at the head of its delilicrations the officer in dignity next highest to the Chief Kxecutive; and pos sibly also to signalize the appreciation of the hospitalities of that government. Mr. Blaine was neither by delegation nor cx omcioaniembcrof thatcongrcss. But Mr. Blaine is never the man to decline any honor, great or small, appropriate or otherwise, always stretching out his hands after them, and adding them, like the honorary insignia of the European nobility, to his innumerable titles to dis tinction ; reminding us in that particular of an old acquaintance and official in Raleigh, whose rapacity for titles and honors was so great that it is said he offered himself on one occasion as a candidate for the .secretaryship of a lady's sewing society. Mr. Blaine did not sec the impropriety; but the Chilian representative did, and resented it, he and the Argentine repre sentative, by abstaining not only from the sessions of the congress, but also from the President's reception and luncheon ; nnd will also refuse to join the grand ex cursion, winch .Mr. Maine has restricted to the Northern and Western States, un less Mr. Maine has previously "s.tcpied down and out." It may be that the Chili-I'cruvinn trou ble of some years ago, m which Mr. Hlaine figured ostentatiously and offen sively as tile osiensinie cnaminon 01 American rights and dignity, but in icality as the backer of sonic discredita ble private adventurers, is the motive for the discontent of the Chilian representa tive. Possibly it is so; but the alleged grievance is one so substantial that we cannot lie surprised at resent ment at a gross breach of parlia mentary etiiiuctte in calling in an utsidcr to preside over a ilelilicrativc body of such peculiar composition, the feet in this case licing apparently toeni- phasize the sujierior claims of the leading North American republic over those of the Southern hemisphere, a claim pecu liarly offensive to Chili, the head of all the Southern republics, and saturated to the full with inherited Spanish pride, and inflated with a very pardonable national vanity. The old systems practiced for the liene tit of creditors had little consid eration for the comfort or con venience of debtors. The last was al ways a wrong doer, a sinner, pur sued, caught and held until he had paid the uttermost farthing, imprisoned after he had given up everything and then sipicczcd on the principle of getting blood out of a turnip, and after death his body held anil the right of possession contested with the worms. The brutality of the officers of the law and the hard hcarted ness of the creditor over-acted, and react cd; and common humanity rose in relx'l- lion. The laws arc now so humane nnd indulgent that it is often the case that it is the creditor and not the debtor that is the oppressed man. Sometimes the old rule works in its original ofl'ensiveness, as where, the other day, a man engaged in worship in a synagogue in New York, was dragged from the horns of the al tar to have his body held as security in a breach of promise suit. The Massachusetts I emoerats and Re publicans by recent action and declara tion of policy and priuciplesgive a happy assurance ot having toiuiil a common field in which to frame a political millcu iutn. The lion and the lamb incline to lie down peacefully together in the tariff re form told. Until of them may. and seem inclined to march under the same banner, upon which they may emblazon the pic ture of' Mary ami her Utile lamb, whose dainty snowy llcece is not to lieclipped by larilf reform.
