a impriement led him to contra- poss Becta of ‘whether he is crazy or idiotic — = fot ~~ the thorough investigation to bie case is to be subjected. Probably, 9 uearly every other self-styled, imaginary p ror, he is as much knaveas fool. There getting to be too many Nathan murderers, the best way to stop the nuisance will be for phe newspapers to refrain from giviag to their ames the publicity which they morbidly crave for the courts to convict and severely pun- ish them for perjury. ' A Penitential Voice from France. Amid all the vauntings with which France nd the noisier part of the French people began their war against Germany the voice of eason and humanity was, here and there, puplifted to plead for peace, But it was, in- eed, like ‘‘the voice of one crying in the lerness.” Not only did it pass unheeded yy the crowd, but, when it arrested the atten- {ton ofa few it was denounced as’ the utter- nce of treason. The prowess ef the grande pation as @ military Power had become a atter of fanatical belief with the million, and ny man who presumed to doubt its complete winoibility was treated by the public with outempt, The ex-Emperor, in his pamphlet f self-vindication, claims to have foreseen wble by the light of facts that went to throw loubt on the actual availability of the French y organization against the tremendous nginery of destruction whieh Prussia had long been gilently and steadily preparing; uit we must remember that this confession omes after complete defeat and is dated frem Place of captivity. Every one distinctly remembers that the outcry ‘Oa to Berlin!” ‘as echoed by nearly the whole mation, with he crown and the Court leading the chorus. ‘ation and Court alike are, therefore, respon- ible, Y At last, however, when the truth hag been prado manifest by repeated and everwhelming Press a large and enlightened mass of the rench people are calling aloud for an honor- ble effort fer peace to save the national xistence, even at the expense of a false ational pride, Of these sentiments the eglise Libre, an organ of French Pretestant- m, makes itself the mouthpiece. Its vowal is frank and manly, and the peni- ential accents of its appeal te God’s grace nd corrected public opinion is both eloquent nd touching, ‘‘And yet,” it says, after numerating the many errors committed, ‘‘the lows that have fallen so thick and fast upon is have not opened our eyes to the sins that re destroying use. We are blaming each one is neighbor and not ourselves, and we mur- ur against the judgments of God as though ‘@ were entirely innocent. Open our eyes, Lord, and give our afflicted country ace |” This sad acknowledgment is undoubtedly he secret cry of millions of bereaved, im- overished and stricken people in France -day; and, as the confession of error and he commencement of humility are usually he beginning of wisdom and a better life, in ations as in individuals, we may sincercly ope that, thus conscious of her chastisement, ‘rance may now emerge upon a sounder and oftier career. Wooden Paver There was a great cry raised some time ago poout wooden pavements, anda diversity of ppinion was expressed as to the merits of the arious kinds adopted, Some of them pro- bly did not quite come up to the highest ex- ctations; but the wooden pavement gene- ‘ally has been proved by long experience in jome of the Western cities to have been very uccessful, In Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, where it was tried before we adopted it ere, it was @ most acceptable improvement pon the old stone pavements. We have found it to work very well here, but it is un- loubtediy best where the wooden blocks are aid presenting a narrow surface. There is ess likelihood to yleld, while, at the same ime, there is a much safer surface obtained for the grip of the horse's foot by laying the locks with a narrow edge. A good pavement, constructed upon this rinciple, would be a great blessing to all our ide streets and avenues, It has already een laid upon some of the uptewn avenues. it should certainly supersede the old styles f Russ and Belgium and cobble stene— \ retty good as they all were in theirday, oaly hat they killed too many horses and rendered a ‘ociety for ‘the Prevention of Cruelty te Ani- nals” an absolute necessity. Hew fine it ould be to see our grand avenues, which run way up into the verdure-clad suburbs on Man- attan Island, paved with this smooth wooden avement! The saving in horseflesh and in agons would be immense, Even on the orse railroad tracks a pavement of this kind vould obviate the necessity ef gridironing the ity with iron rails, which do more than any- hing else to smash up the wheels and axles of ight wagons which have to cross them in Imost every quarter of the city. The horse ars might easily run upon the woeden pave- ent without any iron track, by constructing wheel suitable for the purpose—something hat would offer very little resistance to the avement and would prevent the herrible jar- ing to which passengers are new subjected at very curve, We do not see why street cars ould not be constructed with this view. ooden pavements must become popular, herever they have been laid upon the right rinciple they have so far proved a great preree. We should not be surprised to see he whole of Fifth avenue paved in this manner ithin avery short time, and are confident hat such an improvement would add very largely to the value of property along that puagnificent highway. A Goop Movemenr.—We learn that the Brennan Society, Bloomingdale, is about ke lishing a free library for the benefit of all Wlasses residing in that part of the city. Suit- ble quarters have already been selected, and ‘an application will be made to the next Legis- ature for an act of incorporation, under the pile of the “Brennan Society Library of the ity of New York.” A number of public ‘epirited gontlemen have taken the matter in ‘hand, and there is every prospect that the ‘underlaking will prove eminently successful. fChis is a movement in the right direction. ‘ts beneficial effects in diffusing useful know- } of her lovely v Jodge among the people cannot be too highly appreciated, NEW YORK HERALD, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1870.—TRIPLE SHEET: The Two “I'ribuncs.” There is a newspaper in Chicago called the Tribune, and, a8 our readers are probably pretty well aware, there is another called the Tribune published in this city. They are supposed te be republican in politics and make 4 pretence of supporting republican measures. The Chicago paper is just now pitching into its New York namesake and the ‘‘retort courte- eus” follows from the other side. The contest abeut the ‘almighty nigger” being over these rival champions ef black republicanism go at owe another tooth aad nail—one in favor of free trade and the other im favor of a high protective tariff. Hence there is clashing all over the republican family, with indications of a general smash up all round. Like the political earthquake in France, to which Napoleon ascribes the less of his threne, beth a moral and political earthquake seems to await the republican party in this country. It has withia itself the seeds of dismember- ment and dissolution, and unless the organs of the party cease their bickerings and persenali- ties it will inevitably ge te the dogs before the next Presidential election. General Grant may save it by some signal stroke ef pelicy, and he should begin by knocking the heads of these two belligerent Z'ribuncs together se that the concussion may be heard and felt throughout the party. How Our Mail Service is Purformed. We have before us the copy of an official communication from Postmaster General Cres- well to the editor of the Observer, explaining the causes of the very frequent interruption and delays in the transmission of the Western bound newspaper mail. Mr, Creswell frankly admits that the mails are not sent forward as rapidly and regularly as they should be, and lays the blame on the management of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad Company. The trouble occurs at Harrisburg, where the trains of the New Jersey Central connect with those of the Pennsylvania Central, and where, ac- cording to the report of the local post office agent, the newspaper mail was allowed to lie over thirty-four times in four months, because the Pennsylvania company had not room for it in the baggage car of the connecting train. The Post Office Department has failed in ob- taining a remedy for the evil, and confesses its want of power to control it, because the maxi- mum lega! allowance to the railroads—$375 per mile—is not satisfactery to the Pennsyl- vania Central, which refuses to enter intoa contract at that rate, but carries the mail or leaves it behind just at ite owa sweet will, This is a remarkable state of thiags, and we hope that the Postmaster General will call the attention of Congress to it atthe approach- ing session. Tue REALL oF Minister Motiey.—'The enly deplorable thing connected with the peremp- tory recall of Minister Motley from London is the fact that he could not be budged from the office by any gentler hint than a peremptory re- call, The patience of the President—and General Grant is a man of remarkable patience—was exhausted with this cool per- sistence of Mr. Motley in holding on to his place when he was expected to let go and come home. Now, however, that he must come away, we would suggest Secretary Fish as his successor. Mr. Fish is well posted on the Alabama claims, and is familiar with the views of the President on this and on all other sub- jects connected with our foreign relations ; and we know that he would not commit him- self or his government to any proposition upen any question without full authority from Washington, and would promptly meet his in- structions or resign. “Seek ’Em, Bozx.”—It is amusing to wit- ness the way in which the democratic papers are egging on the republican journals iv the existing conflict among themselves, The democrats talk to them as if they were engaged in a bulldog fight, and, as the woman said when her husband was fighting with the bear, they ‘don’t care which whips.” Tue Next Prestpenoy.—The Johnstown (N. Y.) Democrat announces that ‘in 1872 the entire Union will give one unanimous rebuke to radicalism and elevate John T. Hoffman to the Presidency.” The Presiden- tial caldron begins te boi Personal Intelligence. Ton. F.

Bavaria has refused to enter the North German Confederation, and claimed special favors because of her military successes.
