Tho Committeo which las under cousideration tho reduction of tho foos of the City Sealor has not boen able to como to auy conclusion. As tho offico is ono roquiring no speelal slill, oducation, or ability, tho feos, amounting to 910,000 or 16,000 o year, aro copspicuously excessive, and st should wot require say very great dolibera- tion ou tho part of tho Committeo to recommond thele reduction, Tho best substituto would be to pay the inoumbent 20 per cont of all feos o collects and require him to poy over the balanca into the City Treasury.

His foeble condition of body scems not to have affected his mental vizor, but be goes back to the days of his former promincnce andig- nores tho lapea of time and march of events that have intervoned. Because, fouctcen yoars ago, he advacated a acalo of salarios which would pay £10,(00 o yoar to mambora of the House, $16,000 to Sonntors, 950,010 to the Chiaf Justice, 26~ to tha Aesociate Juatices, and £100,000 to tho Presidont, bo still adheres to his position, aud opposcs the repeal Dbl on that score. I is mnoodless to point out how iucousistont the position is. 3Mr. Crossland, of Ken- tucky, wee more honest {n his expreesions than other Congressmen who aro inthe condi~ tion he ia, when he says that *“ he could not pay Lok if he would, and would notif he ocould.” At last the previous question was moved, and, boing defoxtod by & vois of 100 to 145, the ques- tion passod to the control of Mr. Kasson, of the winority in the Committeo. 3r.

Although all tho members of tho Comt signed a recommondation for moroy, which the Duc d'Aumalo—probably remem- boriug lis own troachory to Abd-ol-Kador in Algiors—conveyod in porson o Presidont Macdlakon, tho seutenco is o torriblo rotribution for the offonso of which Marshal Bazaino was found guilty. Thoronl erimo which ho committed wag hia porsistoutadhicaion to Napoloou after tho downfall nud oxilo of tho lattar, and his studied ignoting of the Committco of Dofonse. That Cowmitteo, howevor, was tho enly Govornment which Frasce had nftor the overthrow of Napoteon aud during tho sioge of Metz. It was tho only sourco of authority, and the ouly body competont to give orders regarding tho conduct of tho war. A rofussl to rocognize it waa a rofusal to recognize thoe onlyoxisting Gov- ernmont of Franco, aud was therefore treason. “Technfcalty, tharofore, from tho irrefutablo evi- dence boforo it, tho Court was obligad to find him guilty, and doclaro tho sentonco proscribod by I, Tho recommendation for meroy was probably bosod upon two roasons, In tho flrst place, Marshal Daznino was o voteran. Io had seen forty-live yonrs of activo sorvico, and lind dong Franco good sorvice in Algiors, Turkey, Austrin, Italy, and Mexico, Ilo lind boon a skillful Gon- oral and o brave soldior, and hohad done nothing dograding in tho oyes of tho world, up to the time of the surrender of Metz, oxcopt Lis abau- donmont of Maximilion to uis fate, and mm doing thia Lo waa only oboying tho orders of his suporlor, the Emperor. Thesa sorvicos wero evidently credited to him 5o far s to constituto an spponl for merey. In tho sccond place, It is probablo that tha Court, while it was compolled to pass tho technical sentence, stood rendy to ask for mercy in view of tho uncortain throads upon which political affalrs hang in that country, whera the Revolu- tion is not only an accepted theory {n all contingoncies, but a palpablo fact, which may manifest iteelf any day. Bo long as the Revolu- tion is supacior to law, nnd 80 long as all socinl and politieal poseibilitios aro labls to bo refer- red to the Rovolution for solution, thero is no doflnitive form of government in France, The Duc d'Aumale is o Monarchist, sud may be to- morsow a Ropublican. Presidont MucMabon is ostensibly tho Ropublicsn Dresidont of Franco for five yeurs to comg, 8 Monarchist in bis sympathies, and may bo Emporor at the ond of his term. The Aesembly itself is a combination of Communists, Radicals, Ropublicans, Bonspartiets, and Monarolists, all struggling and plottiog for power, and, pending theso plots and strugglos, Frauco is a Ropublic by sufforance and without a Coustitu~ tion, All dofinite plana for tho future arc necos- sarily reforred to that indefinito time when con- atitutional law will be ostablished. In this un- gottled stato of affalis, tho uncertainty of politi- cal contingoncios must have excrcised somo in- flnenco upon tho minds of the members of the Court, ond helped to induce them to appeal for mercy. Thore is good roason to bellove that thismorey will be shown, and that Marehal Bazaine's life will be apared by Gon. MacMahoun, his aseocinte inso mony campaigns, and himsolf an ardont admirar of tho Iate Louls Napoloon, in whoso gervico ho nttained his most glorlous distinctions. Bat what is lifo to Marshal Bazaine, even if this mercy shall bo oxtended? Ho will probably be on exilo from Traucs; ‘‘a man without o country;" an old soldier, who, after nearly half a contury of active gorvice, in which he hns won houor aud reputation, suddenly finds him- solf dograded from his rank, strippod of hishonors, Lis wholo record expunged, and Limeolt ignominiously branded s & traitor, To n saldior like Marsbal Bazaiue, wbo, in his own language 88 lio loft the court, only carries two words, *honor and country,” In his broast, such & punishmont as this s influitely worsoe than death. Upon this account, if no other, the ap- ponl for mercy will probably be granted, and his lite will bo spared to Lo dragged out in the slow tortures of a disgraco to cscapo which ovon doath would bo a welconie rolief. e — TCE CRONENBOLD MURDER, Wo have ravely beon called upon to record & more sickénlug and cold-blooded murder than that which was committed on Tucsday lnst, in 8t, Louls, by Bonjzmin .
