LAW N THE NEwsPAPERs-We publish from
day to day communications on Mrs. Cunning
hams case in its legal bearings These conmu-
nications are likely to prove of great use to the
prosecution, as containing toe best points
that may be urged pro aud con at the trial.
The amount OF intellect, legal, medical aud
general. that is being brought to bear 10 society
on this important case, is very striking. Tue
whole community is retained in it and the peo-
pie have the benefit Of an aggregate amount Of
learning. ingenuity and experience which is abso-
iutsly unparalleled
We trust the District Attorney and his col
leagues are Gully grateful for the assistance they
are deriving from the papers Under the old
system, when the newspapers we're muzzled, not
q word Of these hints OF these disclosures would
have been made public. Justice would have
gone it blid " till the day Of trial when some
unfos eseen difficulty might have tripoed her up
Now the District Attorney takes the field, armed
at all points, and apprised of every thing that
may occur.
The press is the lantern by whose aid society

The ENLISTMENT FOR TIE BRITISH SERVICE N
ISDn We zee that rumor impDtes TO the British

upon the authorities to pat u stop to such

We dent believe that any attempts have been

The Law under which enlistments Of troops
here FOR foreign service are illegal Is the Neu-
irality Law, which biuds us not 10 allow our pso-
pie or our ships or our arms TO be openly used
against o friendly Power 10 time Of war. This

LAYING THK TELEGRAPH CABIE.-While we
are sitting quietly at home, wondering W hat the
pext pews may be, the greatest experiment of the
age-,he laying Of the telegraph cable-has pro-
baby commenced of the coast Of Ireland. We
DO no here desire to TO echo the doubts and fears
Of the eroakers in reference TO the possible fail
uie Of the expedition. Its projectors are men Of
too muco business experience and tact not to be
Sware that in every enterprise involving hazard
failure IL possibility but they have embarked
Their money in il, and have the fullest confidence
In its tuccess Nor do We doubt bat the great
experiment will be successful, though unques-
tioDably great risk ovcrhangs the first efforts.
We think the change in the plan, namely, the
proceeding to lay the cable from the coast of
Ireland In westerly direction to New Found
land, instead Of starting 10 the middle of the
ocean acd paying it out from both steamers at
once, judicious and sound. The risk of accident
is thus diminished one half and the chances of
discovering and the opportunity of repairing a
break in the cattle arc largely increased. This
moth Of August will be a memorable one In the
worlds history.

COMMON SENSE AT THE WATERING Places
Among the letters which We publish to-day
from the watering places, will be found one from
Newport Of an interesting character. II appears
that the people Of that city, discovering from
the deerih Of visiters this season that hote
and boarding house keeping ere precarious de-
Tendencies, are turning their attention to the
means by which decent livelihood may be made
out without their being compelled like the beggar
in Gu Bias, to trust to the chances of obtaining
Il from stray travellers This is az il should
he. We have always thought that there was
something rotten In system which maintained
whole communities In state of idleness three
parts Of the year. 1t affords proof umptve
that the public must have been neeced enor.

GEN JACKsoN's GolD Bo9.-We rather think
the immortal hero of New Orleans did not add
to bis reputation for good ssnse by that famous
CLAUSE in bis will which bequeaAed his gold box
TO "tbe bravest son Of New York" The box has
ALREADY bothered US good oesl Il d gong to
prove very Apple o. Discord.
The committee Of the Corporation awarded it
last week TO Major Garret W. Dyckmau,
some time Register OF this city, acd very sal-
liant SOLDIER Of the war with Mexico. The award
was bssed upon various specifications OF the
notable services rendered by Major Dyckman
curing that war; which in the aggregate, go to
prove that he was good officer brave colder,
trust worthy servant of the State, and faithful
guardian OF his men. No sooner IL the aSard
mace known than q number of Major D. ckmsu's
comrades-to wit: Major Faircbild, Major Tay-
lor, Lieut. Pinto Lieut.. Gaines and Lieut. OAR
donville- meet and protest against it; and we
aye bound to gay that their protest, which we
published yesterusy, certainly appears TO shake
toe credit of the award They take the ground
that, in respect of the high qualities for which
Major Dyckmsn has ben honored by the con-
mittee's choice, many other officers we're equally
worthy.
We think this quite likely. Indeed the
committee entrusted with the selection Of
a man to own the gold box appear to us
to have bad imposed upon them a duty
which no human intelligence could have
satisfactorily fulfilled. To select one ~ as the
bravsst out OF several thousand who were brave,
was in reality, an absurd task, only fs for tue
amusement of q college debating society OPP
pcrtunity. conspicuousness OF service, good luck,
and thousand collateral contingencies are much
more Likely to decide such an award than actual
brewery and however conscieDtiously tue selec-
ton may have been made, the absolute iupossi-
bility of obtaining reliable evidence to test the
relative degrees Of courage displayed by all the
thousands Of the competitors, rs well as the
want of some standard to graduate the several
degrees Of bravery, must in any case have render
ed the contest purely nuRstory.
Had the Common Council decided to put IL
beral construction on General Jackson's bequest
and awarded the box to the Colonel of the New
York Regiment, not as a personal honor, but as
a testimonial to the BODY of which be was the
head and the type then, perhaps the very difficult
task imposed on them might have been per-
formed without dissatisfied ton AS it is, we ex-
pect nothing TO follow from the plan pursued by
the committee but heart burnings, jeslousies,
strifes and general discomfort We are quite
ready to believe rumor to the effect that if the
Council ratiiy the award the entire remnant OF the
New York Volunteers will march down in a body
to protest against it; for, it is palpable that, how
ever worthy Major Dyckman may be, neither his
comrades bor the public can ever be satisfied taat
he was the bravest of all-the Achilles of the
war.
