THE LLANGIBBY TRAGEDY. !
THE LLANGIBBY TRAGEDY. IT is an extraordinary circumstance that in < spite of the most rigid search by the police authorities at the time the terrible tragedy at Llangibby was committed, the knife by which the foul deed was done should, as it has turned out, be found by the agency of a dog. The fact only goes to show how mys- teriously the links in the chain of evidence of crime are brought together one by one. The serenity of the cottage where the ill-fated family residdwas, a little while back, disturbed by the hammer of the auctioneer, who disposed of the garden crop to# person named DAY. Well, last week the latter was engaged in the garden, when he noticed his dog scratching at the hedc^e • and on going to the spot he found a black- handled knife, which was at once handed C over to the police. If, indeed, the knife is the weapon used m the murder, it must be 1 gratifying to the authorities to know that one = missing link has been found. The next < phase Of this fearful drama will be the trial ot the Spanish sailor who is charged with the crime. We believe the trial will take place in the course of a few weeks.
SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY AT…
SWINDLING EXTRAORDINARY AT NEWPORT. THANKS to the activity of our detective police, swindling on such an extraordinary scale as that practised at Newport last week, by two women from Cardiff, is but little known in South Wales. It sets people won- dering, when they read of the audacious tempt of the members of the weaker sex in question to dtfr.ud Newport tradesmen. Proceeding from Cardiff, the women, who are sisters, seem to have taken a house, and then visited a number of shops ordering a quantity of goods, which were forwarded to 11, Herbert-street, Newport, on the re- presentation that they were being purchased by Mrs Captain WADE, of Weston," who, unfortunately, at the time of making the orders found she had not sufficient money in her purse to pay for them, but faithfully promised to settle accounts on the following day. To the astonishment of the victimised trades- men, however, it was afterwards discovered that in the dead of night Sirs Captain WADE, of Weston," and her sister, who previously passed as servant to the captain's wife, had packed the goods in a wagon and conveyed them to Cardiff, where they were found in a house known as Norah Villa, at Splotlands. The police, who were on the track of tho swindlers, also ascertained that "Mrs Captain WADE" was no other a person than ELVIRAH TUTTON, the wife of a shipwright, living in Peel-street, Cardiff her sister being the wife of a sailor named BAUB. When charged with obtaining the goods under false pretences, the woman TUTTON pleaded that she did it through poverty, but if the many thousands of peo- ple who are now suflering from dire poverty were to follow her example, the police would have their hands more full, and the con- ditions of things would be much worse, than they are now. It is stated that there were other wmen, who have not been arrested, concerned in the swindling transactions of Mrs Captain WADE."
------THE PENARTH VOLUNTEERS…
THE PENARTH VOLUNTEERS AND DELICATE PRESENTS. LAST week the Volunteers of Penarth had certainly a good choice of the prizes given the good tradespeople of their town for the best shooting'scores. The presents were conspicuous for their variety, and some of them positively appealed to the softer feel- ings of the gallant winners. For instance there was a powder box and puff, presented, no doubt, by someone either familiar, or anxious to be familiar, with it3 use, and to initiate the successful volunteer into at least one of the mysteries, if it might be so termed, of married life. Then a baby's hood was presented by a miss." Perhaps the presentation of the baby's hood will be the signal to one of the Penarth defenders of our hearths and homes to set his cap at the fair donor, who, we imagine, would accept him forthwith. In all probability these suggestive presents referred to were sent to create fun and laughter, and with such an intention no fault can be found, for the Volunteers, one and all, look upon such incidents as those which make their military life run along so smoothly and en joy ably.
UNITED STATES POLITICS, ROBBERY,…
UNITED STATES POLITICS, ROB- BERY, AND JOBBERY. OUR Transatlantic cousins are having a lively time of it, and with characteristic frankness they are speaking their mind all round. There are three parties to be con- sidered instead of two, as in the past— namely, the Republicans, tho Democrats, and the Labour party. The Republicans are the equivalent of the Liberal party in Eng- land. One of the foremost Republican orators (Mr CONKLING) has just felicitously defined its past glories and its future plat- form. It has put down, he says, a vast re- bellion, freed 4,000,000 slaves, made a free Constitution, united the fragments of a shat- tered empire, managed war and finances to the amazement of mankind it has carried railways over deserts and mountains to the Pacific Sea, it has made harbours, built breakwaters and lighthouses, and established life-saving stations on perilous coasts; it has stretched out a network of signal service to give warning of storms on land and on sea; it has cheapened foreign and domestic post- age, founded a postal money order system, put post-offices on wheels, and doubled the cheapness and swiftness of transmitting in- telligence it has secured to every man who will have it a homestead of 160 acres of fertile land; it has stood for free speech, free labour, and free men always it has up- held the public credit, and its aims have been those of humanity and right. This is a magnificent picture of party usefulness, but the Democrats and the new Labour Party say that Mr CONKLING has reflected the sun without the shadow. The Repub- licans, they allege, have monopolised office for the best part of a lifetime, and as the party in possession, have plundered and stolen from every public department, winked at, because sharing, the plunder of every ring and element in the administration, from the Whiskey Ring to the Indian Bureau. Mr CONKLING, it is true, makes admissions, but they are very plastic. Like every human agency, he says, the Republi- can organisation, has, no doubt, sometimes fallen into error but its record is filled with great and useful achievement. Not only do urgent works and duties remain for the future, but work and duty which summon us all to concord, harmony, and earnestness. Putting away side issues and all bickering and strife, the plain duty of every sincere Republican is to stand for the Republic. There are matters about which Republicans differ-differ widely and earnestly. These differences do not concern the issues which deserve attention now. n is not the right of any man, nor any group of men, to divert the Republicans of New York from the questions which urge themselves upon us. Let all men, of whatever party, see the dangers around and before us, and make common, whole-hearted cause to avert them. Let our motto be—" In essentials, unity in non- essentials, liberty; in all things, charity." While the Liberal party in England have kept their hands clean in dealing with the public moneys, they have differed, without closing up their ranks in the hour of danger, as the.Republicans of the United States have done, and to this extent a hint from across the water is valuable. The Republicans of each State, we understand, have an or- ganised Electoral Commission, to which all disputes are settled, and by the decision of which all parties are bound, so that the full strength of the party is utilised when an election comes round. Whether the Re- publicans are to retain their strength and office is the crucial question of the hour. The Democrats declare, we believe cor- rectly, that President HAYES was elected to the highest position in the Republic by fraud, and that Mr TILDEN, the Democratic candidate, should hive been President. The great object of the Republicans is to discredit. TILDEN, and one of the methods adopted is to carry home a charge of fraud, so far as his income-tax returns are con- cerned. If this charga could be sustained, of course TILDEN'S prospects in the future Presidential election would be mateiially damaged. Iu order to prove the indictment against TILDEN, it has been found necessary to examine the books of the New York Iron Mine Company, of which the Demo- cratic Presidental candidate was the active head-it being supposed that TILDEN'S in- come from this source was 225,000 dollars, which he returned at 16,000dollars—thereby defrauchng the State of the income-tax per- centage CIl 209,000 dollars annually. When things were looking grave, it is seriously asserted that parties in TILDEN'S interest deliberately carried away the books of the New York Iron Mine Company, so As to prevent detection of the alleged TILDEN fraud. Mr II ARLAND, the counsel for TILDEN, has been charged with complicity in the audacious act of stealing the books, with a fraudulent intent, and his statement is:—I had nearly fhushed my examination, and as I used the books one by one I placed them on the floor against my chair. Suddenly the door of the office c; a man whom I had never seen before came in, grabbed up the books and was gone before I could turn around. Mr WETMORE and Mr MAYNARD both left the office, and when the latter returned he said :—1 That is a strange proceediag; they have replevined those books and served the I writ on WETMORE.' Next moSiing the officer who took the books told Bid that ho =- entered the office a certified copy of thl writ in his hands? > that he picked up the books, anct as WETMORI followed him out he read the writ." To imagine a state of things akin to this, wd must suppose a case of fraud being prose" cuted by our Inland Revenue Department in one of the superior courts, and the boold on which the proof of guilt depended, beinij abstracted from court on a fictitious ::j8 ot the power of a writ. The probability ia, that by this ingenious trick th, fraudulent charge against Mr TILDE will fall through, and he will re-appear in th, Presidential campaign with the halo oi martyrdom on his brow. While the Repub- lican leaders bandy charges of robbery, job- bery, and maladministration against each other, the third party—the Greenback ot LToour Party—set up a now platform, of » Socialist character. They wish gold and silver to be abolished as a legal tender I they desire to see the national debt paid in a manner which involves partial repu- diation; they seek to establish a sys. tern of national workshops, after th. I Louis BLANC system, and to regulate things generally, after the Socialist modeL The large number of foreign workmen in th< United States — Germans, Frenchmen ► Italians, Poles, and Hungarians—help U give political vitality to this new faith, which has achieved the dignity of getting th. famous General- BUTLER as one of ita sympathisers. The probability is, that il the Greenback Labour party came oui well in the S:atc elections, that General BUTLER will run as the Greenbaal candidate for the presidency. Thus politics, across the water, have become much mixedf while the charges and countercharges of jobbery, robbery, and maladministration which are to be heard all round, remind one of the scene between the monkey and tltf parrot when the family had gone to church- plenty of hair and feathers. This is no nevl characteristic of American politics, but on the principle that men grow wiser it was hoped that the Yankees had got mora prudent in their political squabbles. Taken at their own estimate they have only got more addicted to malpractices. Perhaps they would object to outsiders repeating their own estimate of themselves.
THE AFGHAN TROUBLE.
THE AFGHAN TROUBLE. DURING the early part of the week, a hope. ful feeling was experienced in reference to Afghan affairs. A rumour found general: credence that the AMEER had somewhat re- lented—that he had sent on to the Governor- General of India a conciliatory letter, which might possibly be taken as the basis for a solution short of war. Then it was dis- covered that the scene between Colonel CAVARGANI, our representative, and the head of the Afghan troops in the Khybe, Pass, had been considerably over-coloured. The English and Afghan emissaries art now j stated to have been friendly, and that the strongest thing said by the Afghan was that, if he had done his duty, he would have fired on General CHAMBERLAIN* and his escort of a thousand men. It was necessary, above all things, to have put a matter of this sort right. The impression that the AMEER of Afghan had caused the QUEEN'S representative to be unnecessarily insulted, roused the whol< English people to the pitch of giving blows for supposed insults. We should be, con. sequently, in a better frame of mind—mora equitably disposed to look our responsibili- ties and our future course calml, in the face, presuming that till ruling personage at Cabul refuses to receive our emissary, while not only receiving, but making all manner of ostentatious displaj in connection with the ambassador of th< CZAR. Individual opinion goes for little. What the country desires to know is th. mind of the Cabinet. Their recent sitting was believed to have had a pacific tendency, while acting on the policy of getting readj against emergencies. No movement has bees J made by the Anglo-Indian troops, al- j- though it is rumoured that the Khyber Pass has received large additions in the shape of SHERE An's soldiers. So menacing has this become, that fears of an Afghan 1 invasion are becoming rife at Peshawur. If SHERE ALl could rely on the fidelity and fighting strength of the frontier tribes, there is no doubt but he could make war one of great difficulty-and of ultimate danger, if semi-independent rulers, like SCINDIAH and HOLKAR, are anxiously awaiting the oppor- tune moment to strike against the English power in India. The Russian semi-official papers have told us plainly that this is the sheet-anchor on which the AMEER of Cabul relies. If he is mistaken, the easier and more thorough will be his defeat. If he is right, the probable war in Afghan will be but the preliminary shot in the struggle for empire. That the future of India may depend, more or less, on the character and disposition of the ruler of Afghan makes » permanent solution of the Afghan question of the first importance. The Standard- supposed to represent the opinion of the BEACONSFIELD Cabinet-says" the time has gone by for any further concessions to what is supposed to be Afghan opinion. For forty years and more—ever since the Com- mercial Mission of BURNEs-we have striven, by means often foolish, and always ineffec- tual, to propitiate the unknown god who sways the bosoms of the Afghan race, and we are now compelled by the clearest evi- dence to recognise that Russia has sup- planted us where we should have been §j supreme. The old alliance with Dosf MAHOMED has departed, and it is not capable of being revived. 1.1 its place we have to construct the more delicate, yet also more assured, fabric of a complete English domination in Cabul. We certainly shall not accomplish this task if we gCJ into Cabul with a profound dislike for the whole affair, and with a resolve to get out of it again as soon as possible. Neithef | shall we succeed if wo place before us as the summit of our ambition such. half measurosjas many woull have There is no little commou-sen;ie in this view, for we have twice tinkered with the matter without permanently mending and so long as the Afghan Passes commanc and leal into the most fertile parts of India, we cannot be free froai anxiety. Standard reflects at least the -Con- servative sentiment of the country when it affirms that we must deal with this Afghan question in a thorough and complete man- ner. We do not take steps," says our con- temporary, "for the mobilisation of largo bodies of troops merely to punish a mountain despot who, in a fit of frenzy, indulges in unseemly language and acts of discourtesy towards us. But when it becomes clear that that despot is only acting in collision with, or at the instigation of, another Power which has far deeper and less friendly motives, then we have no choice but to employ the utmost of our strength in placing the mattesf in a less equivocal position. It is for theso reasons that when an English army crosses the frontier it must do so with no sfter- < thought. There must be no looking back, no vain regret and the rcsuit-beneûcial as future ages will testify—of the valour of our soldiers, and of the skill of our Generals, will be the attainment of an almost perfect frontier line in the Hindoo Koosh, and the removal of all danger from a hostile Afghan State acting under Russian influence." While the Liberal party are united as to tho necessity of a semi-barbarian iiico SHERB ALl being punished for insolllcC or for re- fusing to exchange the courtesies of nations, there is nothing like union on two impor- 4 tant points—What is the best method ot breaking down the military strength of SHERE ÅLI, and what is tho kind of perma- nent settlement we should have with the Afghans—admittedly a brave peoplo, and not individually responsible for Ui8
. ITHE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
THE MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. CORPORATE towns in South Wales are par- ticipating, in a more or Jess degree, in the excitement now being experienced in all the towns of the country, consequent on the municipal elections. So far as we can gather, the towns which display the liveliest interest in the contests are Newport and Swansea, though the latter takes the palm for bolder action and direct personalities 1 between some of the candidates. Swansea has peculiarities of its own, and thus it is { ,that the municipal elections there are being ( watched with-no small amount of curiosity by South Waliaus in all parts of the Princi- pality. It is a matter of regret, however, that personal feeling should have been intro- duced, and it is to be devoutly hoped that ] immediately the result of the election is < known the candidates will shake hands, and agree to let bygones be bygones. Car- 3 dity, on the other hand, is unusually dull respecting the election, and the only active body in connection therewith, so far as we have noticed, is the Good Templars, who < have prepared a lengthy list of questions for the consideration of the candidates, 0:1 who;e < answers the Good Templars will decide to whom their votes shall be given. But apart from the municipal election, the burgesses of f Cardiff have the purchase of the waterworks 1 and the selection of the site for the new Free < Library to contemplate, and these subjects, no doubt, afford ample food for reflection. (
