indeed, to hear tia. that bumane snd yigl.lt
officer, Mcdonnell, one Of these days found the
great Zousve seated, like another Caius MsTius
OF store near Hoboken cast firth by some rural
Burcke for nor payment Of one Of those small
boaId bils--those miserable muske.oes, TO which
TIE highest mortal r is subject.
The fact Of II is, The sgouy of interest was toc
protIacted. The star Of De Riyiere is set, and tue
Murusgs meteor is for the moment in The ascend
ant. The Union and New.York Clubs, usually
dull and des0lats at this o, were on Saturday
ard Yesterday s alive and bristl ng. For, though
the eos.ips bad lad the Whole sffar before in bnl-
lisnt bits il cane, when presented in its charming
completeness, as quite new sensation.
TIE story is philosophy teaching by example
and Mr.. Muusgs, conscious, doubtless, Of the
fleeing character of his present greatness, seems
determined 10 improve each shining hour. In
another column be present. series OF documents
relating TO that sffsir," which evidently are in
tended as a reply TO an cmsnation from Mr. Corco-
raH, and published in The Union few days before.
Both gentlemen hs-e thus boldly leaped into the
ring and asked for public Judgment So far, Mr.
Corcoran sppears to us fully entitled to that syn
pathy and tust.Dment which be claims. Though
the kerre of tie quarrel is concesled IN the state
meDt he has published from delcacy which
in fsttsr is not only excussble, but even to be
lheJ il is otherwise frank and full. Whatever
be these ether fobles with which We have play fully
disported, be has displayed in this Instance both
promptituoe and courage. No American gentleman
con be ceDsured for net desixng to see bis child
united 70 one, be he ever so high Hidalgo, whose
habits language ard character are alien to hers;
st lees W. en that child lie orly one, and carries
a fathers undivided love. Nor can We see ausbt
in Mr.. Murusgas subsequent conduct caculsted TO
remove, but rather much to Increase this natural
prejudice. If Mr.. Corccrsn acted in one or tTo
iestancls somewhat hoty and hastily, the circum.
stances, to some extent, offer his justification.
On the contrary, when we come to Dir. Muruagss
documents relstilg to thar affair we find our
selves OF once on the Banks. All is dark as ooe Of
his own Spsnish promon.oIies in fog. "Certain
'',Ioofs," mysterious details" comprising " ire
fatable written evidence" are hunted at but
nothipg is presented which the public hard, ever
eager for Justice can grasp. Is it true that Mr.
Murusea sent hostile message ~ the father OF the
lady whom, without the knosledge or consent OF
that father, be wooed Is il true that after send
ing that neessge he disentited blu self even By the
so-csled laws Of honor, to Subtraction by enter
ing armed the house of the gentleman he had caa
legged Is it true that subsequently, under an
assumed name, the adoption Of which in itself i'm
plies certain consciousness of i'll doing, Mr.
Murusgs dogged the steps and invaded the privacy
of Mr Coicoranl When these trihng matters
aIe explained, the public may be inclined
to reverse its present decision. Recourse
to rowdy epittets is the refuge of every
discovered scourdrel; and the public have yet to
learn that when gentleman is discovered in acts
at the best most unbecompg, it is simply necessary
TO fling down ,cented glove and cry Shoot" to
wipe out the stain, and brand the discoverer as a
Iundn and a CONdIu. we huVW uOt hLctuci
Mr. Murusga is still enjoying the Summer in the
eilded saloons Of the Gilmore House, but We would
recommend 10 bis brother diplomats, who have, to
some extent, adopted his cause, to unite with
Mesus SHdell aud Bright in pressing on his Gov
eminent somewhat protracted continuance Of
that Gorge of which be so valianty ayalled himself
TO hurl. from Baltimore, mortal insult "to his
"foe."
While We cannot presume to exercise much IN
auepce over the action Of the diplomatic corps, We
rcoguize, in the signature Of one of Mr.. Muruagss
xcordr, q name TO which We have some right to
appeal. We have right to be solicitous for the
honor and good name Of the children Of our State.
While foreign attaches come and 60 and change
with every phase Of foreign politics, our own old
fsmlles remain, ard Of their escutchesl We should
be careful. Will not Mr. Sam Ward, one Of the
undersis ned in this affair and consequently respon
s,be for the sets of Mr.. Muruags, deem it due to
his own position TO come forward with that ingeuu
Gus frapkne,s hicn is his characteristic and throw
some Eight upon this very unpleasant an clumsily
conducted affair
