Abroad and at Home.

The London Times, of June 21,
began its leader with the following
cheerful view of ''the situation" in
Great Britain:
"When we look around us, we
ought to be thankful that in this
pleasant month of June we find our
selves with nothing more to complain
of than q constitution under repair, n
Parliament threatened with dismissal,
q Government in allegiance, a Queen
at Balmoral, the session wasted, and
things in general likely to go by the
run"
The philosophy Of the 'thundercr'
IN accepting fate, can only be equal
ed by the com.posure with which it
compares promise with performance,
anticipation with reality:
eve started few months ago with
n very great inheritance, with extraor-
dlnary experience, brilliant abilities.
and opportunities unequalled. Our
present condition is that which is
usually described in the second or
third picture of 'Rake's Progress,
when the inheritance is not entirely
dissipated, and the spoilers have not
yet taken wing. But, for the present,
the bank Is broken, and the question
lies between voluntary or compul-
sorry winding up, and carrying on
under management, or some other
process, if it can be found"
On the whole, the Times concludes
that the domestic question contrives
to keep up with the foreign, and
though it may be very exciting to
hear of the seizure of cities and
principalities, the fight of King
or two, three or four small battles
about to come off, and small affairs
here and there in the track of summer
tourists, it is almost equally excitin g
to the British nation to find them
selves without Queen, Laws, Com
mons, Government, or even Il Consti-
tuition to fall back upon, with the
certainty of finding it whore they

nations, on moral and political ques-

has, unwittingly, portrayed some of
the most striking features of our own
condition. Here, in the month Of
July, we too havo a Constitution

Threatened with Dismissal" not,
indeed. by royal prerogative, but by
the power of the people. If that
Imperative decision of the popular
will could be made to-day, most un.
doubtedly the present Congress
would be dismissed.
We also have seen 4 session
wasted, or rather perverted to the
worst uses of faction or personal
partisanship. But there the analogy
ends. Thanks to the President, o5u

Judge Lynch Represented by o New
York Cavalry Regiment.

The Victoria (Texas) Adoocnte gives
the following particulars of a shame
full atrocity that happened in that
beautiful little town on the 23d ult. ::
On Wednesday afternoon, 23d ult. ,
Col. Hill and a man named Black
were III ''The Smile" saloon, when
an alteration took place between
them, resulting in OH offensive move
ment on the part Of Black, with a.
heavy stone pitcher. against Col.
Hill, who Immediately drew Il Derrin-
gen, pistol and shot Black. The ball
took effect in his breast, and he died
shortly afterward.
Cot. HI! was immediately arrested
by Capt. Spalding, commander of the
post, who happened to be in the
neighborhood, and conveyed to iail.
The 3D. Michigan and 18th New
York Cavalry were encamped in town,
and became very much enraged at
the killing Of Black, whom they
claimed as soldier, but who, in fact.
was a citizen, having been mustered
out of tho United States service over
six months ago, and had been en-
ployed in the duties OF a civilian. At
all events, this served as IN excuse
for the atrocity afterwards inflicted.
Late in the afternoon, it became
known that the soldiers intended to
break open the prison, take out Col.
Hill and hang him; but it was sup
posed that the officers of the regi-
ments would exert their influence to
suppress their intended outrage. I'm
happily, they could not or did not
control their men, and one Of the
most brutal deeds took place that was
ever committed in our State.
About dark, the streets appeared
to be free of soldiers, and some hope
was entertained that the design attri-
buted to them had beer abandoned.
Not so, however; for shortly after
our citizens were alarmed by the yells
of the furious wretches, and felt in
stinctively that Col. Hills moments
were numbered. 1t proved to be so;
for on going to the spot, it was found
that they had burst open the Jail
door, killed Col. Hill with an axe, and
afterward hnng his mutilated remains
to the bannlsters outside the jail 1t
is said that Col. Hill, on the door
being burst open, jumped into the
midst of his enemies, knife in hand,
and sold his life dearly. In the short
fight, he was struck with an axe in
the neck, and thus yielded his life.
Col. Hill was an old and well
known citizen of Texas, and leaves q
wife and interesting family to mourn
the sad event which has so suddenly
