They are now engaged in the coufereaces which Gea. Kost CBANS went for. ‘The purpose of Gen, Rosecrans is polith tal. He is a Democrat. He is opposed to the Radical party for patriotic reasons, and alwo to Gen. Grant. Without secking or desir. ing to do #0, GRANT crossed his track two or three times in the course of the war, and, though he isa pious Christiar, Rosecrans bears that sort of thing in mind.

He states the purpose of his journey to the Springs in the most agreeable manner, It is to effect a reconciliation of the South and North, or rather of their people. He would have the Boys in Blue and the Confederate Graybacks unite once again in a cordial hug of fraternal friendship, and he asks Gen. Lee, Gen. Beauregard, Gen. Ewell, Gov. Pick- ens, and Gov. Walker to tell him how to do it, and open their own mighty arms and help the good work along. One of the subjects on which Gen.

We think thore isa pros. pect that things in our courts have about reached their worst. We hear rumore that an effort will be made to impeach at least one Judge—not in this judicial district—at the next eession of the Legislature, This, if successful, will have an eifeet something like that of a thunderbolt in purifying the at- mosphere, It will be a good and wholesome beginning, to be followed, we trust, by great, radical, permanent reforma, Equal and exact justice to all men; no po- litical judges, and no biassed, partisan judg. ments; these are mottos which should be inseribed upon the banners of the true De- mocracy. anisms A Terrible Suspici Tho excitement about the Spicer case has died out of the public mind; but there are learts—memories—on which the shadow of that terrible suspicion must rest forever, We must presumo the family to be per- feetly innocent.

He sees that the specches of those heroes are playing the very devil with the chances of the Democracy, and that unless something is done, Gnranr will be President in spite of every desire of his heart. So he will get dis. claimers of the revolutioniste, professions of fraternal love, protestations of reverence for the Constitution, especially the Fourteenth Amendment, from all the distinguished men at the Springs. We trust that he will promptly forward copics of these documents to Tue SUN for publication. We shall print them with a great deal of pleasure, When he has got through atthe Springs, we would advise our military diplomatist to bet out on a journey to sce Gen. Bhai Blair's letter to Col, Broadhead is doing « great deal of mirchief; itis as bad for the Democracy as all the speeches of all the fire ating rebels of the South. If a new letter, explaining, repudiating, or even withdrawin, that to Broadhead, could now be obtained from its gallant author, it would be a good thing Tt is too Inte for it to be of use in Vermont and Maine, but it might save some votes in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, We trust that as soon as the hero of Cheat Mountain and Stone River feels that he has been sue cesefal in his present Iabor of love, he will loge no time in undertaking the new mission which we have proposed, Sieeeenieaialiiies Murphy Men before the Judges—Politie cal Influence in the Courts. Just see a lawyer from the country, who is supposed to have some local influence in the Democratic party, before a Murphy Judg on the bench, about this time; watch the pro ceedings closely ; see whether the motion of the country politician is not granted every time, without regard to law or right! It is thus that the corrupt pool of poli ties mingles its polluted waters with th judicial current, which is no longer kept clear and pure. The elective judi clary is a most pernicious device, @o far as the rights of the people are concerned, A man at the present time who has politica!

The acquisition of Sonora and Chihuahua by the United States will give us a railroad route from Brunswick bay, on the coast of Georgia, to Guaymas, on the gulf of California, 800 miles shorter than any other, and over @ snowless re- gion and through North Texas. Mr. Seward would wipe out many ugly figures against him by such an acquisition, — The Select Committee of the House of Commons on the Married Women's Property bill had not sufficient time to conclude their labors at the last session of Parliament; but itis evident, from a special report whieh they made, that the legislation which has taken place in this country on the subject of married woweu's rights to property is to be substantially adopted in Eng- land, And the British statesmen base their ar- guments for the proposed change entirely on the example of the United States and of Canada, where, they think, the alteration has worked beneficially, ‘Thus we sce the mother taking lessons from the daughter in principles of legislation ; and, in process of time, who knows that our republican institutions may uot be adopted by Great Britain? ‘The proceedings against Mr. George Fran- cis Train under which he has been imprisoned in Dublin, for five months past, promise to bring out some facts not at all creditable to Mr, James McHenry. The debt for which Mr, Train is sued is one of £750, said to be owing to the Ebbw Vale Iron Coinpany, Mr. Train alleges, and sup ports his allegation by the affidavits of his lawyer and his father-in-law, that Mr, McHenry, in 1865, received the £750 on behalf of the Ebbw Vale Company from Mrs. Train, and agreed to settle the claim with the Company, He wow denies this point-blank, and as Mr, Train's lawyer is tra- velling on the Continent, and the necessary docu- | ments are here in America, some delay must yet | be submiticd to befure Mr. Train can be released, ‘The Court seems to be excessively teehnical in dealing with his case, rejecting, in one instance an affidavit in his favor, bec | ten on the pr ase it Was not writ | The Pra The ramors com between Euvope nite shape, It aj | obtained from the French | D'Krlonger and Reuter to lay raphe ment by MM and Work submarine ween France and the United States, the French Government binding Itself not to grant Any Other concession for lines between France and North America during the period of twenty from the 1st of September, 1809, | company has been formed, h | Io England, and containing several English the direction tho purpose of constracti | Working an Atiantic cable similar to those at present | in use, The now cabte will be somewhat more po ful than those now eafsting, inasmuch as the w of copper in the conductor has been inereased from 200 ths, to 400 ths, per knot. ‘The courve of the cable | WiNl be from Brest to the French Island of St, Pierre, | off Newfoundland, and thence either to New | itself, oF to some place between Hoston and New York, whence the line could be continued to the tat In cone ig its principal seat enon ter city, ‘Thus the line will consist of two eabios— the first rection, from Brest to St, Plerro, being 2,935, and the second section, that from St, Pierre to the United s #2 miles, About 2,600 iniles of cable will probably be required toa first section being lulu with suficient * and to al low for all emergencies about 2,500 mites will be shipped.
