VILLARD VANISHED. Pernars one of the grandest junketing feats within the memory of man, was Mr. Villard’s great excursion over the completed lines of the Northern Pacific Railroad. | There were dukes, counts, barons and mil- lionaires figuring as guests of the princely hospitality of the president of the line. Now Mr. Villard has eclipsed even that feat. He has resigned the presidency of the Oregon and Transcontinental; thrown Wall street ar is dying, let it die.” | entered | ed mem- | > furnish a | into a ferment, and retired into some one ef the many little snugly feathered nests whigh he owns to await developments. O. and P. is in a bad fix now, and nobody ought to know this better than Mr. Villard. He cer- tainly does not propose to be dragged down with the inevitable wreck when it comes, so he just steps ashore, severs his connection with the company, and lets it go to perdition | in its own way. Wise Villard! Far-secing Villard! Tue JupGe congratulates you and will send you a copy weekly to amuse your mighty brain and keep it from stagnating, till you find some other enterprise to pilot | and forsake. EXIT O'DONNELL, O'Don SELL, the Irish-. | of the informer Care: American murderer has been safely, suc- cessfully and expeditiously hanged, and let So perish all assassins!” It is difficult to sce what other fate could have been his, in spite of the outery that was raised about his trial. It appears to Tue JupGE that a certain ection of the American people regard a man who shoots down a criminal in cold blood, not only to be pardoned, d for the deed; not only praised, Mason, who fired at Guiteau, a prisoner he was detailed to guard, has been pardoned by President Arthur, and a subscription was raised for his family. O'Donnell, who shot Carey, ought to have his requiem be as one section of the American people, | was raised for his defence. Why t had either of these men to take the into their own hands? Had Mason killed Guiteau he would have merited death, Indeed, in any other country, he would probably have been condemned under mili- tary laws for the gross breach of trust and | discipline of which he was guilty, As for O'Donnell, a more premeditated murder than that for which he suffered it would be impossible to conceive. An attempt was made to impugn the justice of his sentence, on the ground that he was an American | citizen, but we cannot exactly see what that had to do with the point at issue. If an | American citizen commits a murder under | the British flag, he is as amenable to British ja as would be a Frenchman, or a Ger- man, ora Russian under the same circum- stances; or as an Englishman would be here, were the cases reversed. No civilized nation dreams of interfering to protect its criminals | abroad, and the appeal of the United States on behalf of O'Donnell was alike undigni- fied and ridiculous, What attention would the United States pay to an appeal from the Italian government on behalf of some rag | picker who stabbed a countryman in some political squabble in Mulberry street? And yet Italy would have just as much right to interfere in such a case (which is constantly happening) as the United States had to in- law | comicbooks.com
