by patriotic motives, and that he has shaped his
Administration by principles worthy of the Chief

| IJ-It is worthy of note (sayS the Richmond WhtsI
that the principles evolved in Mr.. Websters cele-
brated speech in tn. Senate, in reply to Mr.. Hayne
of South Carolina are from year to ye,r taking a
| 6rmer hold Of the public regard. This fact was
disclosed in Il e struggle which resulted IN the
passage of the Acts known as the Compromise
measures; and the Washington correspondent oil
| the New York Journal of Commerce now points ia
n more recent manifestation of the potency Of the
maxim that "great is the power o: truth" He
says;
''Among the many tributes to Mr.. Webster
memory, one of the most just and striking is the
speech Of ex-senator Rhett, of Charleston, at the
meeting there called by the city authorities. Dir,
Rhett says that the greatest work of Mr.. Webster
was his argument in the Senate in reply to Mt
Hayne, on the principles of the Constitution. Mr..
Rhett adds that, in his conscientious belief the
principles then laiI down by Mr.. w. will forever
direct and control the actions of this Federal Gov
eminent This is perfectly true, and is admitted
as n truth even by the remnant of those who, in
1880 and since have held constitutional doctrines
opposite to those of MIR. Webster. How great was
that achievement OF Mr.. Webster's can only be
made real to those who were acquainted with the
political condition of the country at the time and
with the constitutional hereseS that then exten
Siyely prevailed, both OF the South and the West.
The Southern statesmen were deeply imbued with
those principles, =, hich, carried into practice,
would have reduced the Union to condition
infinitely worse than that of the old Confederation.
Gen. Jackson heSitated, and complimented Mr..
Haynes speech; but, some two years afterwards,
found it necessary act upon the principles of Mr..
WebsterS argument, and to issue the famous proc
lamation."

cRINFa m FRANCE.

Areport is published in the Paris Moniteur on the
administration of criminal justice in France, adj
1essedto the Presideutby the Minister of Justice,
together with mass Of criminal statistcsi butin-
stead ofbeing confined, as heretofore, to reenpi-
tulation of the crimes and offences committed in :
particular year, these documents are so drawn up
as 10 represent the results ofan entire quarter OF
century. The following are the most striking
features of this publication:
The number of process yerbau1" and com
plants Of all kinds addressed to the prosecutors
.yeraged ia, 1S1 annually, in the period OF 1876
to 1880: but 1t increased to posse year IN the
period from 1886 to 1886 and in these total Omen.
ces against the forests, customs ana excise laws alu
those of what are called the simple police are MOI
included 1t is, however, to be remembered thal
no prosecutions took place on one half at least OF
the complaints made TO the public prosecutors
great portion OF them being untounded OF the
authors of them being unknown. Inc nunDsl q
crimes against the person has increased; lrom 1910
to 1885, the Courts of Assses were called on to Try
annually 1854 such cases; whereas from 1876 70
1880 they have to try ,77S. On the other hana'
the crimes against property have declined; from
1926 to 1880, they averaged 4,U22 year; whereas
from 1916 to 1850, they only averaged 3,3Sl year.
"AmongSt the crimes against persons, those which
present the most striking increase are criminal as
saults on female adults and children, especially on
the later. Thus, for example, such crimes on
children were only 1856 annually from S26 to 1880;
whereas they rose to 400, from 1916 to1s5O. The
minuton in the crimes against property is not, it
appears, owing to any improvement in morality;
but to the fact that they accompanied with less
violence snd less cunning than formerly, which
causes them to be treated as ottenses, instead OF
CRIMES and also to the fact that Of late years the
examining magistrates have made rule Of not adj
hitting aggravated circumstances so readily as they
used to do.
"Whilst, then, the crimes of robbery tried by the
Court of ASsses have fallen from S,455 annually
from 1926 to $780, to 1858 from 1876 TO 1850, the
offences of robbery submitted to the Correctional
Tribunals have 1iSen from 1871, in 1896, to
in 1880 In other descriptions OF crime, there has
been an increase instead of diminutioni this is
the case in fo cry coming, fraudulent bankruptcy,
arson and extorsion of signatures"

mending Wing State Convention to be held in

sWhen we obtain copy of the preamble and

subject. For the present, we will say that the
Object of the meeting has most cordial approval
and perfect Wing organization will receive our
warmest support. We have been defeated; but we
! have not been dishearened, because we honestly
believe that the factions recently coalescing can
not hold together for any length of time; but the
Wings are united and stand firm upon their ma
tional principles, how much they have recently
divided as to men, and will gather new strength
when they organize fully. 1t is TO our mind utterly
impossible for the factions in opposition to US to
continue united; but OF all this we will have more
TO say when we receive the proceedings OF the
meeting above alluded to. So fairs we have been
able to gather the views of Wigs from letters and
Conversations they are united by their principles

Railwans in Cities.

A correspondent of the National Advertiser, COM
penting upon the introduction of Railroads into
cities, and the probability of thefsupeIceding ON
Eibuses, says: 25lET1s al aas ai
Expedition, comfort, safety, and economy will.
be promoted by the adoption of this means OF loco
motion; and its advantages willnct only be enjoy
ed as the result OF city, prosperity but Will IN
turn contribute 20 the enhancement of that pros
pcrity. City railroads once established, mile or
two will not be regarded material in the
location of dwelling, and distance will SO
widen between residences as to admit OF gardens,
aIborS shade trees, and every desirable adoTnnent
of comfortable house.
The universal dread of innovation, and some
terror of steam, may cause many 10 regard these
suggestions as wild and visionary; but people now
days give in to the Feasibility OF projects much
sooner than has been their wont, and we anucl-
pate no chronic stubbornness in the present in
stance New York will lead the way, and the
success of her first experiment will be such as to
expose us to the danger OF pushing the business
too far in OtheT4citieS. Many interests Will unite
i'll urging the proSecu tion of each enterprise. AL
whose convenience is to be prompted will Of COURSE
encourage the construction OF railway SO Will
all who intend TO invest capital in the heme; and
so will all who own property along the line OF
contemplated route. This last class will indeed
be most deeply interested and it is not altogether
improbable that the owner of real estate on any
much frequented route Of city travel will be inter
ested in the construction of railway to the full
eAtenlO1 pOIIlOuUI TIE EOHu opposite MS own
premises; and the realization of this will be the
discovery of plan of constructing railways with
out cost 10 any one, save those who will Immediate
1y upon their completion receive full equivalent
for the expenses incurred.
The dangers of steam are seldom thought of in
the vicinity of either good railroad factory en-

gers OF horses and The vehicles to which they are
attached in our streets It's, 10 be sure, pleasant

'"The great statesman, no so long and so ably

fruit to the United States" He spoke at great
length and with much earnestness of the dangers
from the attempt to absorb it, and declared thatour
policy with respect should be limited to prevent
its being acquired by any of the strong Governments
of the world; that il was in the hands of weak
power, which held it sort of stakeholder be-
tween the nations of the earth; that through our
commerce we were quietly but efectunlly enjoying
all that we could claim or expect of its industry;
that ITS Government was improving through our
example; that life nd property were becoming en-
trey safe there and that the acquisition of the is
land through conquest, containing asst did foreign
and also a slave population, wOul be fraught with
great danger to US, and must be prevented"
