w Inc foreign news is of considerable interest
The speech OF the French King ascerains with GER
alnty, two points of considerable political interest
!. That Prince Leopold is to be King of Greece @.
That an attack upon Algiers resolved upon in
nest.
The French papers consider it remarkable, that
the Kings speech should make no mention of the
American claims for spoliation, notwithstanding the
"signlti cant" language of the Presidents message
From England the news is yet later than s. ON
France. Trade had partially revived, but the dis.
tresses of the country still great beyond
dent Two debates of much interest had occurred in
the House of Commons, the state of the country,
and on Parliamentary reforms. The latter came on,
on motion to give two members each to NIanches-
ter, Birmingham and Leeds The proposition mis-
carried, but the vote displayed great accession of
strength We shall shortly endeavor to present the
reader with the most interesting portion of the de.
BATE.
IL The conjecture that the Sc nate Of the u States
will on this day, consider the question Of the appoint
ment of Editors, to be well founded AT
Washington there different opinions of the re-
suit. One thinks the whole will be thrown out-an
other that the whole Will be confirmed "a third that
some will be rejected, others approved That great
alarm is felt, is manifest from the planve notes of the
Telegraph, which has latery contained several clab
oTate though feeble arguments, Justification of the
system. That it is conscious of the DANGEROUS ten
dency of rewardng the conductors of the Press and
of the fact that the public voice most decislvely dsap-
proves it, is evident from its earnestness in attemp-
ting to rescue many of the regarded from the charge
of being Editors. Thus i: insists that Dunlap and
lIenshaw not editors of the Boston Statesman,
because their names not labelled in front of the
paper! Now, if Duff did not know and feel it to be
wrong, for General Jackson to have avished Office on
fifty Editors, the most noisy of his partizaus w nv
should he labor hard prove that they did not be-
long to the fraternity? If there be nothing wrong in
the principle, why discuim their brotherhood, and
manifest so much eagerncss to reduce the number OF
reoartied Editors
But the truth is, tina: every we'll informed, sensi-
bic, discreet man, condemns the principle most unrc-
servcdly We are warran:sJin saying, that it meets
with foe in almost every man in this community.
How the Senate may decide, few days will now de-
termne; if against the principle we believe it will
give more satisfaction than any political event that
has lately happened.

DINNER ATlNORFoLK.

We invite the readers attention to the dinner to
AT Newton at Norfolk. The niquitous decision
which drove him from his scat in Congress- has light
cd flame in the District, vehement and honorable,
and we trust only to be quenched by triumphant
conquest of the rights of the District at the next
election What is not less honorable, is that the in.
disnaton inspired by the gross partiay of the H. of
Representatives, is felt by Jacksonians as well as 9th
ers. When man elected by the people, is arbtra-
fy driven from his seat-when this is given to one
who was not elected, but defeated-when the boast
Is made that this was done by party, and for party
reasons, 1t time to feel Indignant and to show the
resentment of free men.
The Secretary of the Treasury has given notice
to the propretors othe six per cent stock created by
the act of March 3d. 1875 that the certificates of the
said stock, amounting in the whole to sig millions

y-s'r dollars and seventeen cents, will be paid on the

~ FUDGE!-A most ridiculous fashion has come
in among the various and diversified beauties of
Jacksonism-that of paradng ostcntatiously, in the
newspapers, letters addressed him by every block
head, who, from simple admiration, or any other
motive, good, bad, Indifferent chooses to send him
lat, pair ofboots, or walking STICK as compliment.
together with his answers thereto One sillv fellow
sends him pair of boots, and the Hero, by way of
evincing his pat,ie, promises .sto lay them I'D
as mirror, to stimulate martial decds'--another
sends him hat, by way of getting his name coupled
with that of Gen. Jackson and his hat factory known
"a third presents him with sett of cut glass, for
equally patriotic reasons-a fourth, as disnterese ed
as the rest, sends him a coat of American manufac-
lure. NOW every person has right to make him
sell as ridiculous and contemplate as he peases and
no other person has any possible right object to it,
But we do think the public has fair claim to exemp
ton from being bored with the asinue correspondence
that ensues, on these very important occasions
several OF these correspondence have been ex-
hioted OF late, and the last Telegraph furnishes an
other example, which we transcribe entire both az n
specimen of the foolery, and for another and more
serious reason:
WASHINGTON, 5th April, 1880.
10 hts E1ceHency ANDREW JACKSON, President of
the United States.
SIR: BY the desire of our friends and constituents
James Dunlop, Esq. and Mr.. Georgia.. MADEIRA we
present you the axe and Ratchet herewith sent
Messrs Dunlop and Madeira are gentlemen of the
tlrst responsibility, who have laudaby established
"Lemnos Factory" in the Borough of Chambers
burgh Pennsylvania, where they manufacture edge
ana other tools to considerable misunderstanding
almost every implement of iron, for which we have
been hitherto indebted to foreigners the best quail
ity, and at low rate.
1t is gratifying spectacle to country, from
year to year. developing the capacity to supply the
material for any given manufacture and her citizens
displaying the ingenuity and enterprise necessary to
successful rivalry with the workshops of other ma
tlons Although iron smelted from almost ST.
simultaneously with earliest settlements and con-
tribnted largely the accommodation of the citizen;
yetits conversion, in country, to the more
convenient purposes of life of comparatively recent
date and we think it of graduation, that man
uactories, under the protection and influence of the
present SYSTEM progressing in improvement SO as
to have already demonstrated that we are competent
TO the production of whatever may be required either
for utility or luxury.
We request your acceptance of the articles men
toned and pray you to be assured the very high
respect entertained for you by the gentlemen who
present them, and also of that with which,
We have the honor to be,

Gentlemen: ] have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your note of this morning, presenting me
with and axe add hatchet, from the mandatory of
Messrs Dunlop g. Madeira, in the Borough of Cham
bersburgh, which accept with great pleasure
These samples ofthe skill employed in that establish
nlen, fully illustrate the capacity of our citizens
contend successfully with the ingenuity and enter
prize of other nations. They in fact, refute the idea
too prevalent IN several portions of the Union, that
the policy OF protection is, in every view gifts eff
fects, unequal to the anticipation of its friends.
L pray you to present to those gentlemen my
warmest wishes for their prosperity, and accept
for yourselves the renewal of the obligations which
owe you Tor the many instances of your friendship
aud regard.
Your ob't serv't.
ANDREW JACKSON.
NIczsrs. RAMSEY e. CRAwFoRD.
The principal reason which has induced us to re-
publish this grave proer and acceptance of the axe
and Ratchet, is that the answer of Gen. Jackson
proves, had proof been wanting-the treacherous
equivocation of his language to DR.. Coleman. of N.
G., and to the Indiana Legislature, when asked his
opinions Of the Tariff. What that language was,
cannot and will not speedily be forgotten, by the
people of the South. lie was in favor ofa ud;cous
Tariff" Here then, in his letter this very foolish
occasion, Of being presented with and hatchet
we have the true Specification of the term sjudcious
Tariff" We see that it no,c suits hini--havInr
duped the people south OF the Potomac, and gained
his point--and the clanor about the Tariff, having
resulted In of strength to its friends-it
suits him to explain what he meant when he
spoke of "judicious" Tariff. ''Tresc samples, (he
axe and hatchet he says in fact, rcute the idea too
prevalent in several portions Of the Union, thai The
To'ey Of protection is, in every view of its effects
unequal to the anticipations of its friends"
The sentence is wordcd with studied caution-as
has been every answer he has given the different
attempts made 10 draw him out OH the T riff.-bu,
it is plain he these Pennsylvanians to under
stand, that he agrees with them in the efficacy Of
protection anu the competency Of America under its
wing, to contend with the ingenuity and enterprise oil
all other nations.
Friendly to reasonable protection ourselves, We
are perfectly satisfied with this explanation Of q
''judcious" Tariff, far as it may influence that
policy But we do not the less coDtemn the Jesuitry
which conceals political opinion in studied ambiguity
when generous, grateful and confiding people, ash
for information and which having successfully iupet
both sides of great question: meonly sides with tht
strongest when all nducement is Withdrawn to kser
on the mask This is the undisguised history of The
Presidents course this matter Of the Tariff

sions and those of his friends to believe him will
them.

FROM VERA CRUz.-Capt Collins in
ship Virginia, states that adviccs were
received at Vera Cruz on the 2lst June,
of the defeat of the government army
near Acapulco, which resulted in the cap
ture, by the forces under Gurrero and
MineZ, of Gen. Bravo and Col. Barta-
bosso. Capt. G. adds, that although the
official government papers say nothing
on the subject, the information may he
implicitly relied on. Various opinions
were expressed as to the issue of the bat
tie, but all agree in the loss of De Bravo,
which was generally believed was taken
by stratagem. The affairs of Govern
ment would remain unchanged.

the crops generally need rain very much,
more especially the early corn, which is
now at that point in its growth when

you can; and to all, keep cool.

full of men armed with knives, ,cutlasses,

SALEM MURDER.

The Grand Jury were yesterday impanell
ed under an impressive charge from Chief
Justice Parker. He especially alluded to
the crime, which was TO come under their
consideration, relative to an assassination
which had occurred in the middle Of the
peaceabc town, in which the court was then
assembled. He said that the fact had be-
come public and notorious, e. that the heart
of sleeping citizen had been pierccd--his
sleep converted to death--this fact had
caused a vibration to the feelings Of tho
whole community. He cautioned the Grand
Jurors rot to be swayed by public sentiment
on the occasion, but to act impartially be
tween the Commonwealth and whoever
might be accused on the occasion. In rela
ton to the law. it was laid down, that it was
not necessary for person to be present at
the com mission Of a murdeI--f he was
knowing TO the Intent, was aiding and as.
sistng at the time, by watching against q
surprise, each alike was a murderer.
1t was not necessary that the person should
be on the spot. The ancient law Of access.
cries before the fact was rather embarrass.
ing. Whether the statute had done away
the common law in this particular would be
we'll considered by the court; ont the prnci.
pie sccmed TO be laid down thatthose aiding
and abetting were principals if they knew
that the act was 10 be donc and assisted in
the doing thereof.
The charge was bold, impartial and free,
ningling mercy and Justice in the chalice
administered to the lips Of supposed Grimm.
ais. He especially cautioned the jurors a.
ganst preconceived opinions. and warned
| Ihem to act according to the 'law and evi.
dence" before them, and to take no other az
their guide.
Prayers were then sent to the Throne o
Grace by the Rev. Mr.. Cleveland, in ar
| impressive manner, peculiarly adopted tc
the interesting occasion then before the
court.
Franklin Dexter, ESQ in behalf Of the
| accused. asked counsel Of the court as "a
| the nature Of evidence to be produced a.
gainst them on the part Of the Government
before the Grand Jury, and cited as pre-.
| cedent the case Of Aaron Burr, where it was
made a grave question what evidence should
| be submitted to Grand Jurors--he asked in
,tructions Of the court to the Jury, what
| kind Of testimony should be admitted, also
as TO whether documentary evidence could
be adduced, and If so, what. before them.
Judge Parker replied that IT would not be
necesssry for him particularly to charge the
Jury on these points, as they would have
| he assistance Of the a,tornies for govern.
nent. and might, at any time, call Tor the
! distractions Of the court.
Solicitor General Davis Informed the coun.
.el Tor the Defendant that he should admit
,o,hing before the Grand Jury but that
which was technically legal.
| The Court Room was thronged and an In-
ense interest was manifested by the spec.
] .ators IN the proceedings.

AtorrNs. The New.York Herald says

A writer in the Courier dss Efdfes Unis,
has given vivid description OF Aigiers, to
which the French expedition has attract.
ed the eyes Of Europe at 10 q dreary
town, says the writer; built on an iron soil,
full of barbarians and soldiers Of cltadels.
Ii is surrounded with deserts. in which are
heard the cries of the lion, the jacksl, and
the hyena, and in which glides the serpent
Boa, as in the time Of Regulus. In the
richest houses Of the city are scorpions
whose sting is mortal. When sumner ar.
rives, the locusts, the true plague Of Egypt,
hasten forward, intrepid as the armies Of
Genghis Khan, devouring even the bark Of
the trees. You kindls 6res to check their
invasion. the fires are extinguishcd by the
numbers of the dead; you dig pits, the pits
are filed, and the enemy pass over thom.

Hitherto, there has been less travelling"
this year than heretofore. The number of
passengers in the steambsats on the North
river has been smaller by one third, or,
more, than at the same period last year.
Musical Hems.--M. Vincent, lutte mas.
ter at Florence, has invented violin with
eighteen strings and two bows, and has
called it the Yioin General because it
combines with the tones of the violin, those
of the contra bass, the vioipcel!o, and the
viola.

who invented the PGnharmonicdn, has pro-
duced an orchestra Of forty automats,

There are men in the World, who
sometimes do good thing from inn
pulse, but who having no fixed princi-
pie of action, are rs apt to do evil from
the same uncalculating suggestion.
They are gentle or savage, as they are
pleased veXet. Their passions alone
prompt them to good or evil Suchmen
are not ofthe number to whom the term,
good citizens, can Justly be applied,
They are not wholesome members OF
any community.
Ii has been said there are those so
constituted by nature, at their birth,
that no combination of after events can
make them gentlemen. There are
those'too, who are cursed with such in
nate malignity of spirit, that neither
prosperity nor adversely can tame them
into benevolence. Like the wild beast
of the forest, although they may now
and then exhibit feelings oftenderness
you are never secure from their rage
and cruelty. Fear oflegal punishment
may prevent such men from doing vio
lence to your person; but the least of
fence exposes you to the full fury of ;
tongue that is pointed with malignity
and aimed at your character, and IA
your very means of subsistence.
