CASE OF CAPTAIN CARTER
Chicaifo, Sept. 2^. Capt. Oberliu M. Carter
wus released from the Leavenworth peniten
tiary after having served five years for em
bezzlement committed while urmy engineer
at Savannah, (Ja. Me now promises the gov
ernment to secure the return of the stolen
funds which lie claims are in the hands of
other parties.
Captain Carter emliez/.led— it \v«n»M
he wronu' t«» suy he stol -a million
dollars. He win tin* engineer in charge
of harlw»r improvement at Savannah.
Ile ileliU-rately ro|»l»ed the government

enjoy hi'* traitor’s profit.
It is not so remarkahle that this man
ehosc the eourse he did. To him money
was the chief aim of life: and lie saw
what he Udicved was an o|»|n»itilllitv to
achieve his end. The strange part of
til** case is the amount of syni|*tthy that
wun vouchsafed this criminal when his
plans miscarried

Apparently the only logical reasoning
that can make out this man’s punish
ment commensurate to his crime is to
assert that man, living naturally a thief,
is pardonable ^>r stealing when he steals
largely; and the culpable party is the
one who affords the opportunity.
If the scheme of S. R. Hudson to
secure a vote of the people of the dis
trict as to whether or not they favor the
removal of the present commissioner is
correctly understood by this pajier, it
was not very far out of the way. Of
course it would lie manifestly unfair
for Mr. Hudson to collect the votes: not
that he would or could falsify the bal
lots, Imt [l would leave all the election
eering to one side, which would lie a
disadvantage hard for any man to over
come. Hut it can truthfully lie said that
Mr. Hudson has at least made a stagger
in the right direction; for if a full and
impartial i«>U of the district should
show that the people want the commis
sioner to Is- deprived of otlice, then their
wishes ought to he resjiectod, no matter
how worthy a man the ofticia! incum
bent may be.

Outsiile of the |>ernicious mining reg

which prevailed they cite the Anglo
