The editor takes issue » ondent is to the importance of ‘hich he regards as the most un- certain of all kinds of expert testimony. He refers to a famous trial in which one of the mnst noted bankers in New York swore that he wrote hisown name‘on a paper submitted to his in- Spection in open court, when, in renlity, the ex- pert had written it, In defending a minister, against whom the strongest evidence was a let ter, the editor took four of his lotters to a writ- ing-master, and said, “ Write another letter in imitation of that handwritme.” Though the style was very peculiar, ho produced in ten minutes a letter which was submitted to the court with the four genuine, with this remark: “Gentlemen, here are five letters; four genui one spurious. Cau ypu select the spurious?’ No one succeeded. They were shown to others, aad a genuine letter was usually pointed out us the spurious. Tho editor is impressed with the critical acumen of Gen. Butler's summary of the case: “Oh, it is clear enough that he bit hisown: car off.” ———— James Rearwarp Nasu was a Cambridge undergraduate. Apri! 29he falsely swore that ; an undergraduate friend had not been in Jesus jane, when a carman complained of them aa pulling the covering off hiscart, which was pass- ing down the lane. He was tricd for perjury, found guilty, and sentenced to prison for one month, the jury recommending him to mercy. The Spectator criticises the sentence; not,asmay be supposed, because it wits too severe, but be- cause itwas not severe enough. “Supposing,” itéays,.*‘a young artisan bad done the same— would he be recommended to merey onthe ground that he had not sufficiently considered the sanctity of an oath?” {n this country con- victlons for perjury are very rare. Prosecutions are seldom brought, because they are known to be useless. In England thoy are common, and convictions are not unusual. In this respect, us in regard of criminal procedures generally, we have much to lenrn from England. a Tnx London. News has printed reports of the actual expenditures of candidates for Par- Hament, both successfu! and unsuccessful, in tho late general election, The amount published us oficially expended is £792,819 by 36 candidates. As there are 52 members of the House, and half as many candidates again ni‘‘members, it is probable that the expenses did not fall far short of 2 million and a half sterlmg. The olficial ox- penses of memovers of our Congress at any onc election is not nearly so large; but our elections come oftener, and we have to bear the added expense of State, municipal, and judicial elec- tions, to say nothing of the greut cost of Presi- dential clectidns every four years, which use mere money indirectly than directly. It 13 doubtful whether the British people are worse off than those of the United States in the matter of election expenses; but they have nothing to ‘boast of on the écore of purity.

Every accident costs the company, in loss of roliing-stock, damages to the injured and sur- vivors of the killed, and in reputation, more than it does the public at large.

Mr. Upjohn, the archi- tect, favors Union Square, and 13 quite indig- nant at. the selection that the Commissioners have made. “Obelisks,” he says, “have been accessories to architectural constructions. All that have been removed from Egypt have been placed in public squares, surrounded by build- ings, where the grandeur of the work is doubled by comparison with the more modern construc- ons. This rule is especially obtaining in Lon- don, Paris, and Rome.” Ithas been suggested that the question of the location of the obelisk should be put to a vote next November; and as the stone is a gift to the city, there would be some appropriateness in the idea. —————> Mr. Gorpwin Suirn, in his Bystander, considers the temperance question from the old point of view. He says: . If you say that the use of wine, however modérate, inust be moraliy criminal. beenuse the beverage, if taken in excess, will intoxicate, you will nave, if you are n Christixn, to expur- gate your Bible, striking out, among other pas- sages, the nurrative of the Marriage Feast at Cana, and to abolish the Lord's Supper. The theory that the wine of Scripture was the un- fermented juice of the grape is the must des~ perate of exegetical subterfuges. Whether his judgment of the temperanco question be right or not, it's clear his condemna- tion of “cxegetical subterfuges" is. Some of the expedients for explaining a new set of facts by the torturing of un old text are paltry and contemptible. Mantetra Renavr, of New York, re- Jected the improper advances of Amedee Bigot, a French tinner, who thereupon cut her throat and hisown. She died instantly, but he may recover. They are both French; and the Trib- une desires to know whether another great race question is to arisa from the trial and possible hanging of the murderer, us in the case of Chastine Cox, the negro, and Balbo, the Italian. The way justice is going in New York at pr ent, it will soon be possible to hang only Ameri: cans in this country. — Mr. TREVELYAN’s inquiry into the num- ber of honorary Colonelcies in the ‘British army was brought about, it appears, by the appoint- ment of the Duke of Cambridge's Private Secre- tary to one of these sinecures, worth £1,000 a year. The blindness of the old aristocracy to; the fate which, sooner or later, awaits thom, ig shown by the fact that this inquiry, though per/ feetiy lezitimate and desirable, bas given gregt offense, as if aby attempt to curtuil the perqui- sits of the old nobility were a small revolution of itself.

In reference to false census returns, the Ilt- nois Staats-Zeituay writes as follows: ‘*Ac- cording to tho preliminary footugs of the re- turns cf the census-tuker during: the summer, the total population of tho United Stutes amounts to about. 49,000,000 souls.

Whore and for what purfose these falsificatiéns of the census returns Have been perpetratci has been often enough dem- onstrated in t¥ese columns: The Southern States aro detel-mined to prevent 2.loas of thelr political power, which would be the fuevitaible result of an ,honest, enumeration.

For is ‘Toason alone. —to ay nothing about many others.—t 1g man should vote for the Hancockian ticket.” The NewYork Stadts-Zeitung published a few days ago a one-sided and very unjust criticism of the many spoeches Mr. Garfield’ made on his trip to New York and ‘back to Ohid again. It compared some of them witha few of the master speeches Garfield made in Congress, and begins its tirade with tho following sentence: “The euspicton les near that Garfield had his made in Congress, written for him.” In Milwau- kee there appears a German Democratic paper called Der Secbote.- Itis owned by Mr. Deuster, Democratic Member of Congress from the Cream City, who aspires to, a renomi- nation. Der Scebote reprints the abu- sive tirado of its Now York ink-swash- ing Democratic contemporary ‘with . the exception of the above italicized ‘sentence. Why tho shrewd editor of the Der Seebete lett it out, the Milwaukee Freie Presse explains ia a leader, giving tho Krotzer-Deuster company o, beautiful rap on their craniums, which will not contribute much towards 2 revlection of the Sechote’s owner. Tho Uress¢, after quoting the article of tho New York Slaats-Zeitung, says: “The organ of Mr, Deuster (Der ‘Secbotc) cannot refrnin from reprinting the above extract of the New York Stuats-Zeitung's article, and to add his own palaver.
