counsel concerned twas most splendid

But The speech of John NJ. Read of Phila-
delpha was the most lawyerike production
of The trial. Il was mastery & mos, profound
legal argument for the defendant, aud GER
iain!y had more effect than any thing else,
on the result OF the trial. Mr., Stevens felt
that there was no necessity for him 10 speak

summary OF the result OF the late election
In siyty-two counties Of Eastern Virginia,
which gave Cen Taylor 1852 majority, (n-
Guiding all except Accomac, Henry, Patrick,
Piusylyania, Lancaster, Westmoreland and
Prince William, which gave Gen. Taylor n
majority of 457) Johnson now obtains ma
joriiy of $3.50, and in twenty Western coun-
ties heard from, (ncluding Rockingham,
Shenandoah and Page, in which we assume
tina, he gets 4iOo,) he obtains majority Of

which gave Gen. Taylor net majorie,y Of
26i, Johnson now gets about $500. AS The
State gave Gen. Cass majority Of some
1900, The Democratic gain thus far without
farther change, would give Johnson an ag-
gregaie majority of about 1000.

THE HUNGARIAN QUESTION

The following sensible views from the
New York Tribune on the polcyssof our GOV
ernment toward Ihe despoIic course of Rus
sia in the Hungarian war, has deep vein
o. soundness in il {:
We are believers in the supreme wisdom
Of mindins your own business We are be-
levers in Peace. We believe in Industry
aud in Power, gained, as alone it can be, by
staying at home and working faithfully 10
develop the natural resources with which ma
ture has endowed every country, and the
mental and moral resources with which she
has gifted every people. We believe in the
good old American policy of neutrality, and
no eniaugling alliances. 1t is Tie policy un-
der which the nation has grown great and
strong, and under which it will grow greater
and stronger.
But there may be circumstances when our
own interest, as we'll as our duty as a mem
Der of lbe great family of States, must COM
mand US TO stop beyond the strait line OF
this policy.
Should you a person of respectable strength
and courage, able 10 bandle your man, see a
ruffian bruisng and ,raHpllng little boy in
the street, would you be so scrupulous as to
preserving your neuiraliIya Or if you saw
a brute raising his fist 10 strike down de-
fenseless woman, would you look on in 81
lence till The blow had fallen and help was
impossible? BY no means You would
despiss yourself for doing SO, and everybo-
dy else would despise you. You would iu-
tervene and forbid and prevent such oulra-
geous breaches of the peace. Such would
be your duty and your impulse, and all your
honest neighbors would bear you out in il.
And the great moral law of Christianity,
would bear you out in it also.
How do the rules of mutual duty which
bind nations, differ from those which bind
individuals? A weak man or child may
deserve no blame for looking on silently
when another is violently maItrested, and SO
may weak or an infant nation. But can
mature and strong one hope TO be excused
if il does not act, nos even raise its voice in
protest, when rufIianly powers trample on
the juslest principles OF public law, and
make mock OF every national righta This
question will be amply and plainly discus.
sed BY Kossutll during his stay in the United
States. He will discuss il from many points
OF view, and bring to bear upon il great
varsity of arguments. We commend them
to the earnest consideration of the American
public.

How the Old World Is Governed.

The European papers tell us that the King
of Hanover lately died in the slst year Of his
age. He was the only surviving son of
George II. and commenced his dissipated
and disreprtabe career as the Duke OF Cum
berand, He was born and reared in Eng
land, and became a member of the Enslirh
House of Lords a, the age of 2s, without
ever having given thought 10 the subject
of government. From Interest apd connec-
ton he became violent Tory partisan. In
1915 he married a Princess OF the House (if
not of the bloody of Hanover, and through
that connection lie became King OF Hano-
yer upon the accession of Victoria 10 the
throne OF England. But in knowledge and
association he was as much a stranger TO the
Hanovarian people and their laws. as his
hear; was foreign to their wishes and wants.
He commenced his rule in 1887 by with
drawing the Constitutional right that Will
liam Nv had granted 10 the people of Hano-
yer, and so odious did his passions and y ran
ny make him 10 his subjects, that; though
they had ever before been most loyal and
Submissive to suffering, in 1910 they com.
PEELED the usurper 70 restore a portion of

Two per Cent u Month.

During the investigation OF the affairs of
the Bank of the Uniled States, by commit
tee OF Congress, II was brought out in evil
dence that Thomas Bidtle, a brother of the
president of that institution, had accommo-
datons from it TO the amount OF one million
of dollars. This Mr.. Thomas Biddle was not
engaged in any commercial, manufacturing
or productive business and SO far as the
great interests of the city of Philadelphia
were concerned, it would have been just as
well if he hsd never had a residence there.
His profe ession was that of broker and note
shaver, grinder of the faces of the needy,
and a dishonorable usnrer. With this mil
lion of dollars, belonging TO innocent and
honest stockholders and depositors, he
bought .he business paper thrown out of the
bank, i'll consequence of his enormous loan
al too per c'nt per month, he paying the bank
but half per cent. per mouth for the use of
the money. In this way he realized $780,
900, per annum out of his accommodation,
over and above all expenses and interest.
Ii is true that the prostralion of the MONS
ter by the patriot Jackson, put stop 10
wholesale frauds upon The public of this
kind but it Is also true that many OF the li.
tie monsters arc now pursuing the Identical
course praclised by Nicholas BiddIe and his
brother in 1892, with the exception that it is
done on less extensive scale.
1t is common 10 see in the city papers Of
the present day, that large money operations
are carried on IN the street, as the saying is,
al t,co per cent. per month, and i, is no,ori-
oas fact that the money thus used is mainly
borrowed from the banks, whilst those insti-
tuiions are cultailing their accommodations
to business raen. In this way panics are
created, and when once created they are pro-
longed as much as possible, because il is the
interest Of the shaving Shylocks, their aiders

spoils, 10 keep them up.
