The Evglish Government hos received dis- patches from Bir Samuel Baker, datod May 29. Ho reports thet the Upper Nilo rogion, as far south as tho oquator, has boon annexed to Egypt, and that the inhabitants aro orderly. The slavo trado haa beon suppressod. o doems his mission & completo succass, Tho abolition of the franking privilege takes offect to~dny. Ioroafter, overything that goes turough tho mails Is expected to puy its own pasango. This is only figuratively truo, how- aover, for, so long a8 nowspaper postage is not collectea in advance, & largo proportion of such pastages will continue to bo loat to the Govern- ment, Tho carthquake of day beforo yostorday in Northern Ilaly was a eorious nffair. Nearly evory villago north of Venico counts its killed and woundod, numbers of chprches are pros- trated or ehaken boyond further usofulnoas, hundredsof houses have boen destroyed, and the peoplo aro oncamped by thousands in tho fields, having lost thoir homes, or boing afraid to trust thomselves within their uncertain walls, Tha first robel gun was not fired'at Fort Sum- ter. Au insignificant four-pounder that bo- longad to tho City of Vieksburg Lns the ques- tionable honor of having fired the first shot of tho civil war, which it huried against o Missis- sippl stonmor passing Vicksburg and supposed to bo carrying United Statos arms to Now Or- leans. This happoned scveral daya boforo tho guns in Charleston Marbor startled the country. The War Dopurtiaent has sout this forward pioce of artillory to Wost Doint a8 o trophy of war. From the tostimony wlich is offered and ad- mitted in tho Walworth caso, it would scom thiat B, T, Walworth was on rial for cruclty to his wifo snd hor rolatives, Tho evidouce yes- terdsy wos almost sltogether diracted to shorwing hiow bratully tho murdored man had bit- ten his wife's fingors and frightoned hor into fointing s, and bow inconsidorately ho Led broken into hor invalid brother's bed-chambor, The only indication that Frauk Walworth was on trial for murdor wasin the introduction of | soino triviel tostimony to support tho plea of emotional insauity, Bome of the Champaign County Grangers have run foulof the new Railrond law. Desiring to attend the Farmers' Couvontion at Bpriugflold, ou tho Fourth, they asked tho Tolodo, Wabash & Westorn Road for spocial rates for tho trip from Toledo to Springficld snd roturn, To thelr disgust they woro told that, although tho price, they offered would b romuncrative to the Company, considaring tho * number that wero going, tho law foybade any such discrimination eftor July 1, and consoquently thoy must pay full faro both ways. This interprotation of tho 1w docs not accord with that which Springflold Fumor aseribes to tho Railroad Commissioners, who are said to hold that under the third soction of tho law spocial rates may bo given to excur- sion partios as to other large shippers. e e Honry Ward Beochor knows botter than any one clse how truo or foldo are tho storics told nbout bim, and yesterday, for tho first {imo siuce thay woro sot afloat, ho taok public natico of them. Iis long silonco has been trylng nuough to his' friends, for even thoso who believed wholly in his innocence have longod to hear him declare himsolf. free from stain, In a lotter to tho Brooklyn Daily Eagle, hie makes a olean, squure denial of tho charges, They are grosely untrue, ho says, and uttorly falso in particular aud (n generel. o givos MMrs. Woodhull, and any other porsona who have lottors of bis, full permission to publish thom, This mey bo construed a4 an indircet admission that o has beon corrosponding with her ou the tubjeet. Senator Carpentor must be convinced, by this *ime, of tho unwisdom of drawing upon onecsolf tho concentrated fire of n battory which would othorwise havo beon diffuged over onoe or two huudred Congressmon, Gon.

Averill, M, Jaspor Packard, and #omo othors who lied valisntly ruslied in to dofond tho #al axy-grab, hod alroady loarned this losson, Bub wo are seldom eatisied with tho exporlonce of othors. We want to seo Low it is oursolyos. Attontion has beon drawn to iho fact that Gon, John A. Logan, of Tlliuos, was ons of tho sal- ary-grubbers, Nobody would ever have learned it from Logan himsolf, Thoe moderty ho has cxhibitad on thin subect is truly delightful, It utauds in fine contrast with tho eagerncss of oo poopla to maka profort of themaolves, e The arrival of the Great Eastern at Hoarl's Ooutent, Nowfoundiand, and the success of tho cablo of 1878, are formally snnounced, This is tho fourth succossful cablo, but the fifth that bas boon laid in this course, #ha aabla of 1858 having given out after trans. nitting n fow sigunls, Tho first cablo was lald by the Grent Eastern in 1805, It broke, and wad not rocoverod and put in working order 41 1860, at the samo tme tho Gront Enstorn Inid hor accond eablo. o third or Fronch At- Inntio cablo, from Brost to 8t.

Tho Ciront Eastorn will now roturn to mid-ocenn and grapple for the cable of 1665, which broko o fow montha ago and now lles parted in 1,000 fath- oms of water.

Dann, of New York. The Justice issuod o warrant, which was cortificd to the somowhat notorious United States Com- missionor Davenport, of New York, who issued n warrant by which Dana wos arrosted, The Waehington poople wero anxiows to have Dana gont on to Washington, to be dealt with summariiy by the Police Court; but when Davenport camo to writo out the warranb for commitmont ho socms to have broken down, and tho wholo matter waa laid bofore Judgo Blatchford, of tho United States Court, Thut Judge postponed tho further hoaring of it until July 16, and dischurged Dana on hisown rocogniz- afco. Binco thon Dana has beon indictod by the Grand Jury ot Washington for libel; and ng, un- dor the lnw of tho District, o can offor tho truth in evidenco, it ia possiblo that tho fnancial his- tory of tho District Govornment will bo uncos- erod, and tho trial lnst six monthe. - The lynching of the murderor Ifofron, at Balom, Ind., is to bo doprecaicd, of courso, as attonded with all tho dangers and ovils of mob Iaw. Xtianoloss a murdor for tweuty masked men to scizo an unconvicted oriminal and put Lim to doath than it was for Hoffron singlo- Dbanded to Lill bis man. But tha ovont shows that the dilatory ndministration of tho law in murder cases is largoly auswerablo for the ncts of a Vigilance Committeo. Iloffron, tho victim in this caso, was dangorous charactor. Mo had proviously committed a murder and been ne- quitted bys packed jury., The Coust, it scoms, in this socond murder, had unnccassnrily post- ponod tho trinl, and therewas an impression that tho man would egain escapo (ho punishment of his crime. Neithor of theso circumstancos, nor any other doloy or maladnsinistration of justico, Justify or oxtonuato tho crimo committed by tho | self-constituted oxecntionors who firod on Hol~ fronin his coll until thoy had overcomo him, nnd then hanged him ; but thoy nceount for it. In o thickly-gettled and civilized community liko that of Salem, it is not probable that lynch law would everbo callod inlo roquisition if thoro woro o tolorably certain and prompt punishment of crimo in the regular way. poied s : ‘The subject of "Mr. Charles Francis Adams’ addresa to the Thi Bota Kappa Socloty, of Har- vard Colloge, a few days inco, was * Education +in Public Affairs." It was o timely themo, and one fliich Mr. Adams is peculiorly fitted to dis- cuss. Tho uecossily for introducing tho ela- ments of learning aud culture as o qualification for etatesmanship was tho burdon of thg dis- courso. If thoy could bo mado to take tho placo of the shrowd cunning which s now attondad by the groatost success in tho profession of poli~ tics, tho country would suffer loss from the cor- ruption and disgracs that are now, visited upon it. Political life would not bo so distastoful to men of oducation, and thoro would bo o highor rango of ambition than that which is ' now estisfied with ofiice. Mr. Adams doos not boliove that the pormancuco of Roprosontative Government has yot boen domonstrated, though o oshibits & untural prido in tho fact that our country has accomplished more in tls ‘direction than las over boforo been accomplished. Ho foresces new probloms, howover, In the sggrogation of 80 mouy races, the divorsity of interosts, and the various characterlsticas of soctions, which cannot bo avoided in go large an oxpanse of territory and such o rapidly-incroasing and con- glomorate population a4 ours, and ho boliovos that tho infusion of greator eulture Into public life may do more to grapplo with thoso difficnl- tios thian anything else. It was vory woll tlat such an addroas should bo dolivored in Masea- chusotis nbout this timo, ¥ e ————— & A Washington dispatch sont by tho Assoolated Dress, and boaring Lho ovidence of authoriza- tion from the State Dopartmont, snys that tho Govarnmont will not investignto the cnse of Gen, Van Buren, Tho ground is takon that no chargos wore mado againat him, but that he was suspondod and his successor appointed, just as other Governmont ofiicials aro rowmoved and tholr placos filled whon tho publio welfaro do- mands this action, It is thon addod that * Noih- ing bas appearad to show that Gen, Van Buron is guilty of any dishonorable procoedings, but rathor that ho did nob powsoss tho req- ulsite oxocutive ability to conduct tho buginess intrusted to Bim It is rathor Iate in tho day for the GQovermmont to asaumo this position with raforgnce to Gon, Van Buren, and it will not hold, When Cen. Van Buren was suddenly suependod in tho midst of his work as Chlet Commissioner, it wau put forth as a praisoworthy act of the Administra- tion In robuking him for corrupt practices, and rolfoving tho uation from all responsibility for the alleged frauds, If Gon, Van Buron way gullty of tho corruption insinuatod agalnst him, tho action of tho Qovornment was timoly and propor. But it he was not guilty ot thouo olurges, then bis romoval “on the ground of in- competonce was not :juullflnbhl under the olroumstances, Is branded him boforoall tho world as o thiof, and brought tho American namo in disgrace, It was dogradation from which nofther he nor his family can over fully rocover. IInd thoro boon no othor ohprgo than thnt of incompotoncy, and if the romoval had beon made publicly on this ground, thero would, porhiaps, havo boon no call-for o upocial Invonti- gollon. But now that tho Administration has blackoned Gon.

Like Cliof Justico Ohaso, he turned in his early doys from tho alluromionts of political ambition to ally himsolf with the young and focbls anti- slavery party. Had Col.

For tho lnst weok or moro thoro hag Deen o rusly for pnssos by thoso who are always ready to travol at somobody else's cost, and who rought to nccomplish as much doadhondiam as poseibio while it was tolerated. During tho last wook, aud all dey yosterday, thero was o vig- orous pressuro, which will bo renowed to-day and for sevoral days, to havo the rules dis- rogarded and paseos irwucd. It would bo o curioun exhibition to give tho namos and occu- rations of tho applicants, who refuse to under- stand thnt thoy have been cut off from tho privilego of travoliug ut tho public cxpanso. Tho portinacity of thoso long-timo; if nob profog- slonal, dendhoads is remarkable, and the enorgy with which thoy insist that tho railrond compa- nics aronot in carnest, and if in oarnost, did not maan to stop the fssuo of passos to them, is peculiar to the dead-bent. His solfishnoss isa disenso; his tasto for gratuities is insatiablo; liko tho inmato of tho alms-house, ho claims what lio wants a8 a right, and in dofonso of his right bo is vohoment. The man who stops his paper whon 1b diffors from him, and wondors how it can live without his support, is roproduced and oxnggorated in tho man who wondors how & ruilrond compeuy can hopo to mako monoy after refusing Lim o pass, and theroby losing his *“influence.” The public who pay faro have no concoption of tho abuso of this railway-pass syatom. It includes, gonor- ally, ovory man Lolding an offico of any kind undor tho Federal Government, aud overy man in ovory dop:#tmont of the ity and County Gov- ornment. It includes, fo n largo extont, the rolativos aud familics of all theso. It in- cludes & large percontage of hotel subor- divates, and “the “army of oficials * be- longing to railroads, transportation, oxpross, aud other kindred corporations. It includom algo, & lnrgo percontngo of tho newspapor pro- fesaion, including the publishers of- countless ephiomeral shoots, pamphiots, and magazines. It extouds to tho cmployos of tho telograph system, ministors of churches, maungers of charitios, and .to various other occupations which by somo tortuous logic are supposed tobo 80 conneeled with railroads that they aro en- titlod to uso thom froe. Of courso, tho great munjority of theso porsons have accoptod tho docision of the railroads and submit ; but thero ia o Iargo aud fmpudent’ proportion who will not submit, aud may bo scon banging around tho railrond oftices to-day bogging and imploring.for & continuanco’ of their particular variety of dondhoadism, Wo trust the railronds will make no excop- tlons, and that thoy will rosist all spponls and all prossuro to violato thorulo that goos into oporation to-day, If therailrond companies will stand flrm now, thoy will have no difficulty in maintalning tho rule, Now is the doad point of dunger. Weaknoss now means an abandonment of thorule. Mo ylold oven in n singlo Instance is togivo up tho battlo. Thoso mon must bo dilvon off now, and, if that be done, thore will bo no troublo horoaftor. ; The editorial profession in all parts of the Wost have, asa rulo, accopted the docision of the rallronds with satisfaction, The imputation of doadheadism has becomo disgraceful, and thoy aro glad to eacapa it. feroafter they forogo the “privilege™ of riding froo, and proposo to oxorciso the right of paying their fares, Upon this point tho following lettor of the editor of the Cincinnati Commercial is portinent, Ie wrltes undor dato of June 8¢ W, 8.

Wiy should & nowspaper bo sny more priviloged with passos on o railrond company than for or- dors on a type-foundry or a paper-mill? The publisher pays for his type and his papor; why not for bis railrosd travel?

Why should he not be oqually indepondont of tho oftice-holders aod ofico-seckers of his locality, and equally indopondont of all othor persons or parties who aro proying or warring upon the goneral public? Why lmit thio power of his paper to tho fow who confor speolal priviloges uponhim?

When the Ottaws, Oswogo & Fox River Valloy Railroad was pro- jected, tho Company sought and obtained from countios, towns, nud villages along tho routo a donation of bonds, boariug 10 per cent intorest, Tho subseriptions from municipal corporations nmountod to nearly 8600,000. ‘Fhe wholo longth of tho rond wag lcas than sixty miles.

TIn theracital of precodonts for raising tho pay ‘of Congressmon, Mr. Bonator Carpentor strangoly omitted o vory important one. In 1816, aftor tho cioso of tho war, the Congress changed the com- ponsation of members from €8 por day to $1,500 por annum, But that Congress had the doconcy to pass this act bofore the olection, and not after tho olection, Tho passage of that law attracted universal'attontion- throughout the country, and tho people at tho onsuing olection punished thosg who had voted for it-so soveroly that, whon tho mow Congross mot, it wes €0 nearly composed of ontirely new members that it wau. coneiderod s practical revolution. Not ono of the membors who voted for it waa ever sgain taken into publio confidence byeither partyor the peoplo, That precedent, overlooked by Mr, Oarpenter, is likely to bo followed by the pooplo at tho next cloction. Tho punishmont inflicted upon the salary-grabbers of 1810 was sovero cuough to provent any ropatition of the offonsa for forty yeurs, and it is likoly tha$ the gonoral sweop that will bo mado of the back-pay-recoiv- ora ut tho next oloction will probably sorvo g o sufliciont warning for future Congressmen for a century Lo come. i Tho recalving of prosonts by ofiicials Lias long boon an sbugo in tho Courts of Europe On the oceasion of tho visit of tho Sultan to England e was lavish in tho distribution of costly prosenta among tho titled ofticars of tho British Coutt. Ono Lord, holding somo oflico at tho Royal Palnce, was overlookod, but kLo did not hositalo to #ond word to the Sultan, and ‘wag oventunlly rowarded. In view of tho vimb of the Shah of Pergis, it hes boon proposed in England that all porsona recolving & salery from the Governmont bo prohibited by law from ac- conting eny prosont, or, In othor words, to levy Dblackmail on the Shah or any'olher national guost. Theso presonta aro bestowed fa gratui- tios to sorvants, and yot tho titled couriiors of England not only aceopt thom, but industriously gook thom, Buoch a thing, however, as an ofticor of the Government—a Cabinet Minlster, for in- stanco—accepting & chock from o railroad or other corporation, {s somothing which is not tol- eratod in England.
