KIssANEs CAsE-VALUE OF PEMTENr
SPEECH The Court of Sessions has been en-
gagged for many days past on the trial Of man
named Kissane, for extensive forgeries on the
Chemical Bank, in this city. The case exhibit
ed some remarkable features, more especially
the GOODNESS and enterprise with which the
scheme was devised in so distant q place as
Cincinnati, and the ingenuity, skill and deter
mination with which its details were carried
out here. But the speech of Kissane and the
sentence Of the Recorder are the most sugges-
tive points Of the whole affair.
From some admissions and inuendoes in the
declarations of the prisoner, it is evident that
bis conscience was i'll ct ease during the trial,
and that there were other offences preying on
his mind. He endeavored, indeed, to cloak
them over with an expression of contrition; but
1t was apparent to all present that he labored
under the consciousness that he was an old Of
fender against the laws of his country. His
previous history goes far to establish that i'm
preston. Every one recolects the extraordi-
nary circumstances connected with the burning
Of the steamboat Martha Washington, on the
waters of the Mississippi, few years ago. Sc
veral individuals, all occupying respectable
business positions, were charged with having
copspired to set the vessel on fire, with the
intention of defrauding number Of insurance
Offices, both on this and on the other side Of the
Atlantic. Kissane was one of the parties upon
whom suspicion fell, and his case was investi-
gated in one Of the Western courts.
The burning OF that vessel was terrible
affair. 1t was proved ON the various trials that
che had been laden to an unusual extent with
boxes and bales, apparently full Of goods,
but in reality containing nothing but rub
bish, and which were insured extensively in
various Offices throughout the country. At
suspicious hour, and under the most suspicious
circumstances, the vessel took fire whilst pro-
ceediDg down the river, and numbers of unfor-
tunate individuals persisted in the catastrophe.
bolical plot escaped punishment and have
lately commenced actions against the different
Offices in Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston, New
York and other Cities in which the cargo was
insured.
The share which Kissane had in this affair
no doubt caused him some severe twinges of
conscience on his late trial. He felt that his
evil course of life could no longer escape the
punishment which conduct like his is, sooner or
later, certain to entail. Thanks to few
rhetorical flourishes, he got off much easier
than he expected. Our amiable Recorder, who
seems to be the legatee Of the legal lore and
kind heart Of our late Recorder Riker, was
moved to compassion by the apparent pepitence
Of the sinner, but nevertheless concluded that
be must "suffer some" He accordingly gave
him only two years and half in the State prison
for crime which, under other circumstances,
would probably have been visited with the full
punishment specified by the law.

NoRE SATANIC THAN the SATANIc-The west
ern papers say that the New York press is I'M
dergoing several changes; among others that
several OF the daily journals among which the
Tribune and Express stand eminent-are
now more satanic than the Satanic" itself We
feel tlattered by the allusion to ourselves. Our
country contemporaries are slightly mistaken.
by dint Of constantly accusing the HERALD Of
satanic propensities for vulgarity, slang and
scurrility several city journals have come TO
believe themselves at last, and seeing that the
HERALD was successful, while they were not,
have innocently supposed that its success must
be due 10 the qualities for which they gave 10
credit. FROM this discovery to the assumption
Of satanic characteristics the interval was short;
the Tribune, Express, and Others, very soon
began 10 be scmrilous and abusive, expecting
in their yerdant Stiffness that they would sue
coed better in consequence. They are better
able than We TO report how the dodge succeeded.
Meanwhile, as the Legislature has appointed
o committee TO inquire into the condition and
noGus optrandi Of the New York press, we
may expect some interesting disclosures with
regard to the manner in which some OF the
journals are got up. The epithet Of satanic Is
likely to become vulgar and common As to
The facts which gave rise to the committee-the
scenes which took place on the occasion Of the
visit Of the Legislature 70 this ci'y--we appre-
bend the committee viii not find ything TO
question or cavii at in the report Of the leading
journals. To try 70 lay the blame Of the

atmosphere Of an exhibition room. could only
have originated in the brain of heartless and
case-hsrdened Snowman, who is accustomed to
extract gold from the miseries Of others. and
who thinks as little Of making his harvest out
Of the sufIerines Of the infant generation as he
did out Of those Of poor old worn out negress
BarDum Is in fact trying to brave the moral
sense of the community by originating these
preposterous and brutal experiments His last
shameful essay Of this kind was the show ofmock
Shanghacs and Cochin China ROSTERS, which has
been 70 severely, but humorously, caricatured
up in Burnham's "Hen Fever" If there was
any useful object to be gained by these exhibit
tions, whether Of fowls or Of babies, some
excuse might be found for them. But Barnum
pretends to nothing Of the sort. His only pur-
provided he fills his pockets, be cares but little
what the public may think Of his proceedings.
In postscript to his autobiography, he will,
probably, at some future day, give us an inside
view Of his own opinion Of them, which will,
NO doubt, be a. edifying and instructive as his
commentaries upon the previous episodes Of
his audacious and unblushing career.
In the meanwhile, ~ Is painlul 70 THINK mat
there should be found in our community ladies
ofrespectable character and position who do not
shrink from lending their names to these dis
gushing exhibitions They have evidently
been duped by Barnum into the belief that
they are advancing the interests of humanity
by giving their aid to this great baby move
ment. Ladies are proverbially weak on this
point, and we have no doubt that the casuistry
of the ingenious Snowman overcame any lingcr-
ing doubts that they might have entertained as
to the propriety Of their conduct. We have
said enough, we hope, to convince them that
they can best further infant development by
corfning it to the nursery. Exhibition rooms
are not, like lighthouses, favorable to artificial
growth.

And this programme, or something like 1t, Is to be
carried out very soonbecause why' Under the old law
our first class diplomats abroad get outfit Of nine
thousand dollars, charges S45Oo but this law expires
on the Both June, and the law which then comes
into effect stops all outfits and substitutes an add
tonal salary of from Eve to thousand dollars
year Thus, you viii perceive, that by making these
proposed diplomatic appointments before the both June
the appointees get their outfits and the increased salary
besdes but If they wait till the LIST Of July the outfits
are all lost You may, therefore, count pretty surely
upon great cabinet and diplomatic reconstruction
before the 30th June. Buchanan and Dallas are both
talked Of for the State Department and of them will
likely come In, in order to give old Pennsylvania lift
next fall.

WILLIAM II. SEwAaO's PURPOSES ON THE
PREsIDEsCY,-The plan of William II. Seward
and his friends is to carry by fnsing all the
issues Of the day in the next Legislature of
New York as they did in the present one, and
fhen procure from that body the State nomina-
ton for the Presidency. Mr.. Pierce's treachery
to the democratic party, and the breaking up
thereof, left the door open to Stewards re-elec-
ton as Senator. The anti-slavery issue, the
temperance issue, the old fossil remnants Of
the wings. and the new police bill, are all in-
tended as various instruments by which the
Presidential nomination of Seward in the next
Legislature might be secured. If the Know
Nothings in this State unite in opposition to
Seward, and the democracy Of Tammany Hall
reorganize their elements, fight win take
place between those parties, and Seward may
be demolished in the conflict.

CAvED M.-The terrible oyster house critic
Of Forests performances appears to have
caved in very suddenly. Why SOL We tell
him there is no occasion for alarm-that For
rest has too much good sense to interfere with
so active On agent in filing his houses; and
that Marshall is too shrewd q manager to per-
nit libel suit to interrupt sensation which
pays 80 well as this Moreover, notwithstand-
ing the verdict in the Fry case, public jour
nalist has the right to criticise an actors or
managers shortcomings. Don't be frightened
off by the Fry verdict. That was bad and
unjust precedent, as we shall ultimately prove,
even if we have to carry it up to The highest
court in the State. Go ahead. Forrest has q
broad pair of shoulders, and Marshall has no
objection. Don't be alarmed, Mr. Fry, or Mr..
Sly, by the Fry case. The law viii take care
of that. Forrest is not Fry.

The MISSION TO FRANCE.-Several Of our CO.
temporaries, both here and elsewhere, still harp
on the mission to France, which, it is said,
Pierce intended to give us but did not. They
need not trouble themselves on that score any
longer. The mission to France, or any other
mission, is not worth our taking. When new
man has been elected President in 1856, we may
condescend by hard solicitation to take the post
OF Secretary OF State, in order to reorganize on
aproper footing the foreign policy of the GO
vernmcpt But we would not keep the office
over year, and then we might he induced by
Kind treatment, (but not by subscriptions Of
100000. as in the Gaze of Daniel Webster,) to
take the post of Secretary of the Treasury, or
ganize that dilapidated department, and put it
in proper training for prosperous financial ac-
tioD. After these labors we should retire from
the field, prepare for Greenwood Cemetery, and
leave the future to the Know Nothings
The CENTRAL PARK Day after day Mayor
Wood improves. His next proceeding after
breaking up the fashionable gambling houses
or taking preliminary steps towards that end
was to veto the resolution OF the Common
Council curtailingthe Central Park. II is very
hard to say how the municipal bodies proceed;
on what principle their legislation is based, or
with what design half their measures are planned.
With regard TO this resolution which originated
in the Board of Councilnen, the simplest in
depreciation appears to be that il was suggested
by spirit OF speculation. Some parties whose
lands were in the vicinity and would have been
affected by the curtailment Of the Park were in
oil probability at the bottom OF the scheme. |.
is not unlikely as the Mayor hints in the begin
ming of his veto message, that some disappointed
advocates of Jones's Park had hand in the
passage Of the resolution dcsiring Of course
to kill the Central Park scheme by inches.
Fortunately, Fernando Wood was true 10 his
duty and the attempt was frustrated.
IL will doubtless be renewed, and Il rests
with the citizens to say whether or no the
Mayor shall be sustained in what he has done.
For our part as we cannot conceive any thing
more imperatiyely needed by the mechanics Of
this city than Park TO breathe fresh air in, 20
we cannot think Of . scheme more worthy OF
public depreciation than one to curtail the size
of that Park, or throw any other obstacle Ia
the way OF it completion. If any one wanted
to enlarge il, We would support them. When
it is proposed to curtail IT, the least the public
can do is to declare lis dissatisfaction in a tone
not to be misunderstood, and 20 give to the
Mayor their full countcnanco aud support.

daga, bill entitled can act for the better
preservation OF the constitutional rights and
liberties Of the people Of this State" which we
re-publish to-day. As will be perceived upon
looking into this measure, it is nothing more
nor less than a bill to set the constitution at
defiance, in the nullifcStion of the Fugitive
Slave law. The bill provides in behalf of frl-
gitive slaves =
1.-The writ of habeas corpus.
"A trial by jury.
3.-Fincs for The arrest Of persons ~ fugi-
tive slaves, who are not such.
A denial of the jails for the temporary
safe keeping Of fugitives.
5.-An interdict against all public officers of
the State assisting in the arrest and restoration
Of fugitive slaves to their masters.
Ga similar intcrdict to the State militia.
Repeal Of q conflicting law.
S.--Penalties to State officers who may pre-
fer obedience to the laws Of Congress.
9.--Expenses Of this new law provided for.
l0.--The act to 60 into effect Immediately.
This is clean work. and if this bill be passed,
there Immediately arises conflict between Con-
gross ana inc state, ana the anusiaVery aSlta-
ton will receive the exciting impetus Of open
and defiant notification. Such an act is
an appropriate appendix to the reelection
Of Seward, and is practical develope-
ment Of his seditious and disuniou programme
for future operations. We shall see whether
his followers in the Legislature have or have
not the hardihood to carry out q measure so
fraHght with the elements of agitation, sedi-
ton, revolution, fire and slaughter as this.
Pass this bill, and every man may as well
resolve at once whether he is for the Northern
or the Southern confederscy, for it must
speedily ripen into secession and disunion
We shall watch The fate of this new and most
impudent scheme of notification with the
deepest interest. 1t is the test question
