The Know NoTHINGs IN MAssACHUsErrs.-The
committee Of the Massachusetts, Legislature has
come to the conclusion that the rowdy mem.
bers of that body who intruded into female
school the other day had no business so to act,
and were guilty of an offence deserving Of gen.
eral blame. We put 1t thus, for brevity's sake:
the men of Boston have spun long yarn on
the topic, giving the committee lick first with
the rough then with the smooth edge Of their
tongue, and ending SO thoroughly la Talley-
rand, that some study is needed to ascertain
the real drift Of the report.
So far, the Massachusetts, Legislature have
done well. The act was in every way shame
full, ard deserved scathing censure; it has got
1t, though in a milder form than it deserved.
But il remains TO be said that this censure was
not inflicted until public opinion called loudly
for vengeance on the committee. If the press
Of Boston had spoken with less energy and
holiness, the offence might and probably would
have been passed over in silence. The Legis-
lature have acted like school boy, who WIFI
niDgly admits his fault, and begs for pardon,
while his posterior smarts under the rod.
There was not SO much difference after all
between the violation Of a private domicil and
the removal Of United States Commissioner
on account of his performance of his duty.
The men who victimized Judge Loring because
he preferred keeping his oath to breaking 1t,
were just the men to take advantage of popu-
lar cry against converts to burst into female
school, insult defeDceless ladies' and frighten
poor sick girl out Of her life.
There must be some great changes here, II
the American party is to do anything in this
world. Prescriptions Of faithful officers of
government, assaults on defenceless women,

COUNTRY NoTIoNs OF WAR.--We notice that
our country exchanges reach us full Of warlike
anticipations- rejoicing, others lamenting
over the prospect which they see before them,
according to the degree Of pugnacity and the
parry predictions of their editors They all
think that Mr.. Pierce is going to stir up war
with Spain. Herein lies the error. No man
acquainted with the character of the President
would ever believe him capable of going to war
with any power stronger than the late free city
Of Grey town. He is blusterer busters on
all subjects, the loudest when he means least !;
has always been in the habit of clustering, and
is known at this day by many old friends at
Concord, New Hampshire, as the most thorough
blusterer and braggadocio of their acquaint-
ancc. All this noise of war is mere buster.
If Mr.. Pierce had meant any thing serious, is 1t
at al likely that he would have met the Peck
Committee with fourishes and wordy thunder7
Depend upon it, when man in the Presidents
position intends to 60 to war--to do an act, In
