There is another whisper OF greater moment,
for the exact truth of which we will not venture
so far to vouch as to place it in our political
letter, though if it be true, it must have an ln'-
Incnse effect upon the Government even from
it's royal head to its lowest removable Official.
1t is said, however, that = certain letter 70

From this is inferred the degree Of permissive-

to be seen whether the outrage and bntchery mt

THE STATE or MARYLAND.

The Baltimore papers tins morning contain
the Message Of the Governor, which was made
to the Legislature on Saturday last. The
Sun contains on epitome also, from which we
quote:
.The exhibit Of the condition Of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal Is rather favorable,
showing considerable increase in the amount
Of tonnage transported on it especially Of coal,
and indicating a steady enlargement Of its
operations. Some forty or fifty thousand dol
lars are required for repairs.
The affairs of the Baltima and Susque-
hanna Railroad are brought review, and
it's application for relief exarai j.
The prospects Of tho Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad are dcussed with unlimited confidence
in its future prospects, derived from the certain
growth and inexhaustible RESOURCES Of the inte-
rior. The operations Of the Washington Branch
are shown to have been highly favorable under
the reduction Of fare. with IN increase of
revenue amounting to 1885, 40S.

A FALSE ISSUE.

The aorgan affects to believe that those
who oppose the Nebraska bill in its present
form, deny to the People Of State the right
Of selfgryernment, and rest this denial upon
the Ordinance of 1887. This is nonsense The
question Of the organization of Nebraska does
not involve any question concerning the rights Of
the People Of State }, nor has the Ordinance
of 1887 anything to do with the subject. That
Ordinance applied to the Territory, ceded by
the old States, northwest Of the river Ohio
The condition Of Nebraska is determined by
the Anti-Slavery Proviso Of the act admitting
MISSOURI into the Union, Of 1920. That Pro-
yiso received the sanction Of President Monroe,
after Calhoun, Writ Crawford, and the rest Of
his Cabinet had agreed in a,unanimous opin-
ion that it was constitutional.
The aorgano finds it convenient to pass by
the articles in tho Daily Era--although it used
to pay some attention to the Weekly-and travel
abroad to reply to comments in other papers.
1t does not meet the issues, as we have present
ed them, in the Era Itcan sustain the policy
Of the Administration only by raising false
issues. The question raised by the Nebraska
Bill has nothing to do with State Rights
Stripped Of all extraneous matter, it is this.
Shall the Anti-Slavery Proyiso Of the act adj
hitting Missouri in the Union, Of 1920, alter
an acquiescence in its constitutionality and
practical efficiency, by the American People,
for thirty-three years be now virtually abroga-
ted, for the purpose Of allowing Shareholders to
carry their slaves into all Territory north Of SO
deg 80 min. That is the naked question.
The Administration, acting in obedience to MIR.
Atchison and his associates, says, Yes, the
American People, if not false to God and HUI
mainly, will thunder, No.

MARSHAL NEY,s STATUE.

We have been favored by friend with the
following account of the recent inauguration Of
the statue of Marshal Ney, at Paris 1t is ex-
tracted from a letter of an American gentle
man, now resident there:
"The ceremony was most imposing. The
statue stood, yelled, in the centre of hollow
square, on three sides of which platforms were
erected, which were occupied by the peers and
minister's Of France, the marshals and generals
Of the army, all in their gorgeous uniforms
On the fourth side were stationed detachments
from oil the battalions of the army-a glitter
ing mass of bayonets extending back as far as
the eyeecould reach. A few civilians myself
among them, made up the small number Of
those who had places assigned to them. The
ceremonies were commenced with a TIE Deum,
chanted by the Archbishop Of Paris at the
head Of the parochial clergy. Then the statue
was unveiled, amidst the salutes of the army,
the firing Of cannons, the blowing Of trumpets,
and waving Of banners. Ii was very lively
and interesting scene. After the Minister Of
War had pronounced rather dull Grafton M.
Dupin, who had defended Marshal Ney before
the Chamber Of Deputies, delivered fine ad-
dress, which was received with the greatest en-
thusasm. In marked contrast to the demon
STATIONS which he called forth, were the mea-
gre attempts to raise cries of Viye pEmpereur,
which were dolefally spasmodic always form.

against assaults which would only be attempt
ed when impunity could be hoped for Ii
would be madness to burden the resources OF
the country with building and maintaining vast
squadrons to match those OF England and
France. We do not need them nor shall we
ever need them, if we keep afoat q force snfi-
cient to act as police for the protection Of our
commerce, in turbulent times, against the inso-
lcnoe and aggression of irresponsible naval Off
GERS.
Need we say, that the considerations we
have presented constrain us to approve, on the
whole, Of the recommendations Of the Secretary
Of the Navy for an increase Of our naval force
SO far as we can see they are prudential, and
not conceived in any spirit Of aggression. Nor
are they any more in conflict with the policy
Of Peace than the recent movement in New
York to establish a more efficient police. The
best remedy against mobs and riots is an Or
ganized force, strong and well-ordered enough
to prevent violence byovcrawing the evil-doers.
SO, the best way to prevent war is, to have .
Police on the ocean, strong enough to prevent
the commission Of those irresponsible acts Of
violence which always tend to war; No nation
should suffer itself to be caught twice in the
predicament in which ours found itself during
the European wars in the beginning OF this CEN
tury.

the case, was refused in another Court yester-
day, and even if the prisoner here should rise
in his place, and refuse the aid OF counsel,
and express his willingness to go back with
his master, tho Court should not, in the pres
ent stage, entertain the proposition.
G. M. Ellis, Esq, also argued in favor Of
postponement. He stated that decision in
so important case, should not be given until
the fullest and fairest trial, and this they had
right to demand. There could be no fear of
delay, with the power of the U. States and
Massachusetts to sustain the authorities the
only fear is that justice may not be DONE
The prisoner has the right to have all the ale
cations made against him proved, and also to
be provided with counsel to advise him and
conduct his defence.
There is also necessity, he said, for delay,
in order that the friends of the prisoner may
deliberate as to the course they shall pursue.
In conclusion, he argued that justice, meagre
as it is under this law, should be melted out
but there should be no violence, no Court
House in chains, but full and fair investiga-
ton of the case.
The Commissioner then addressed the pris-
oner, who seemed somewhat frightened at his
position, and informed HIM that it was his
right to have all the allegations made against
him, proved by the clearest testimony; that he
had also theright to have counsel and friends,
and that if he desired postponement he
should accord it to him.
The prisoner seemed in great doubt what
to say. He glanced around the court room,
apparently in search of some one. After a
few moments delay, he, in a low voice, asked
to have the case postponed.
The U. S. Commissioner then addressed the
counsel for the claimant, saying that the pris-
oner wished time to prepare defence, and
that therefore he should postpone the further
consideration of the case to Saturday morn
ing, at 9 o'clock.
The prisoner was then remanded into the
custody of the U. S. Marshal. During the
night he had an interview with his former
master and, it was stated, gave his consent to
go back.
The proceedings were conducted with great
decorum, no sign of any disorder being mani
tested
