"triumph. should not be politician if did
"not know how to wait for it," This time, ho
adds, he would appear before his judges with no
other advocate than his firm conviction that he
had but used and not abused, his rights as a
Journalist
It is extremely difficult for the citizens of q
country like ours, where the press is perfectly
free, to understand prosecutions like this one,
undertaken at time when there is apparently
nothing either in the internal condition or the
foreign relations Of the Government to justify
such rigor To an unprejudiced observer, such
extreme measures would seem to indicate a
consciousness of weakness and sense OF inse-
curity on the part of the Government adopting
them. And this is doubtless the true explana-
ton Of the apparent anomaly. The prosecution
OF NJ. Girardn itself furnishes the best and most
convincing proof of the truth of his allegations.
II would seem that after all the Empire is not
quite SO strong as the world has been led to
believe. That prestige must be worth but
little which cannot stand the shock of
such discussions and the shafts OF
such censures as constitute the offense
of the article for which the principal editor OF
the LibertS has been summoned to appear be-
fore a judicial court. Napoleon the Third has
certainly given France peace, and his policy
has secured for her degree of material pros
perity unprecedented in her history. But it
cannot be denied that these benefits have been
secured at the sacrifice of some of the most
vital principles Of popular liberty; and it is
the consciousness of this fact which makes
Napoleon dread the light of free discussion.
and compels him, despite the concessions OF
which we hear so much, to keep an iron hand
on the press. And there is, after all, nothing
surprising in his conduct. A despOtic govern
ment (whatever its origin however liberal the
guise in which it appears), and really free
press, cannot cO-exist
In connection with this subject, it is inter
esting to notice that, according to statis-
tics recently published, there have been
in France during the last 10 years more
than $40 cases in which the Minister of
the Interior has adopted measures of rigor
against the press, the number of journals
thus dealt with being 100, and the measures
classed as follows: 333 ADVERTISEMENTS (Or warn
ings), % suspensions, and 12 suppressiOns. This
is exclusive of judicial cOndemnatiOns, by which
about 100 journals more were either put down
altogether or visited with divers penalties So
much for freedom in France under the second

! When politics are in their present condition.
| very small fry manage to make Il prOdlglous
splutter and to create no little furry upon the
] superficial current of public affairs. We re-
member that il was 80 during Mr. Tyler's Ad-
mnistration. which was characterized 10y the cx-
tremc obscuIity of those who, for the sake of
salary. rallied to its defense. Respectable sea-
ports were continually astonished by the aui
val of alien Collectors with commissions i'll
their pockets and post masters utterly unknown
to the inhabitants took command of the CORE
spondence of the vicinage. Mr.. John Quincy
Adams, who is the son of Mr.. Charles Francis
Adams the grandson of Mr.. John Quincy
Adams and the great grandson of Mr. John
Adams, is young lawyer who was nominated
for Naval Officer of Boston by the President. Be-
ing rejected by the Senate, newspaper organ
of the White House plays dirges over his re-
mains, and wants to know if it is decent
thing thus to treat man who is the son, &c,
the grandson, &c, and the great grandson, &c
Now, if we understand the matter, this young
man was nominated to the Senate not as a son.
not as n grandson, not even, singular rs it may
appear, as great-grandsOn, but simply as a
person, an individual a youth. Therefore,
when the organ insinuates that by his rejec-
ton the Senate has cast contempt upon his an
cestOrs, it makes q slight mistake. 1t is the
boy who is waywardly disgracing his lineage;
it is the Senate which is rallying to the vindi-
cation of those fair and venerable names. 1t is
the Massachusetts, Senators who are obliged to
assume the task of vindcating the credit of the
family, and of giving the neophyte lesson
which he alone has made necessary.
But according to the organ, young Mr.
Adams did not want the Office, and telegraphed
to the Secretary of the Treasury that he did
not want it, and "that his professional engage
"ments. as a counselol-at-law, were such as
"to preclude the possibility of his accepting
"the Office The tremendous business engage
ments of Mr.. John Quincy Adams did not
prevent him from running the other day for
the Legislature nor did his pedigree, which
his friends, not we, are Ostentatiously airing,
save him from being decidedly beaten by the
ex-Postmaster, whose head he had helped to
take off--a very respectable man, with regu-
lar father, grandfather and great grandfather.
Experience is useful to the young, and now
Mr. John Quincy Adams knows how pleasant
it is to he guillotned. He has a fine oppor-
tunity for moral refectOn-that is, if his
professional engagements as counselor-at-
law" will permit.

g for Massachusetts will rememberir Remem-
Der what That the President named for an
office young gentleman who did not want
the place, and, moreover who could not take
it, in consequence of professional engagements;
and to whom, as he is rich, the salary would
not be of the least consequence; and that the
Senate, in tie exercise of it's discretion, saved
the nominee from all embarrassment by de-
clining to confirm him The organ calls this
thirsting for his blood" and bees Massachu-
setts to remember" This would be a more
sensible appeal if we were not told in the same
paragraph, that Mr.. Adams the youngest has
been slaughtered" and, not having been
much thought of while living, it is hardly
likely that he will blossom in the dust very
extensively. If anything could bring him "
life it would be this foolish puff, and we trust
that it will recall him from the tomb to the
JOY of his bereaved and distracted clients.

CONNECTTCUT DEMOCRACY.

Il has been 50 long since the Democrats of
Connecticut have been able TO pass any bill,
that they have lately forged one-a Whisky
bill, said to have been contracted by the Re-
publican Legislature. This bad bill nobody
will accept, now that it is pronounced false by
the Controller of the State. Yet, if the
Republican legislators in 1866 had spent
1925 for whisky, lemons and sugar,
that might have been good reason for
reciecting them-if we consider what an enOr-
nous sum Democratic Legislature wOnld
spend for the same articles. The dangerous
comparison viii probably keep the Democratic
leaders from introducing whisky into the cam
paign as a political issue, though no doubt they
may use II, with or without sugar and lemons
IA one of their most eloquent appeals to voters
We print to-day the speeches of Gov. llarri-
man and of the Hon. John A. kasSon, at
Ilartford-ablo arguments which hold the
Democratic party TO its record, and do not let
il escape. II is the party which voted against
the emancipation of 100000 slaves against
the prosecution of the war for the Union
against the North and for the Southern
ConfederaCy. Its successes during the wal
were hailed by the Rebels as their own, anc
in the Confederate Congress it was claimed tC
be the ally of treason. IL is the same party
now as then and, so far as rebellion and
treason exist, it srstains their cause. Ii cannot
make the people OF Connecticut forget these
facts They know what it is, and they know
that it is not workingman's party any more
than il is party opposed to the use OF
whisky, lemons. and sugar.

Mr. Randall Of Pennsylvania has made an in
cffcctual effort to introduce into the House of
Representatives a bill declaring illegal the use
of franking stamps by members of Congress.
Some of our readers may not know TO what
perfection the fIanking swindle has been
brought. A Senator or Representative is no
longer obliged even TO write the taliSmanic name
which entities him to send trash all over the
country, without money and without price
He has only to get stamp and his clerk, or
his wife, or his little boy, may impress it upon
anything they please. SO, honorable members
from the distant East, or the golden shores of
the Pacific, may send their sOlcd linen home
to be washed without even the manual labor
of putting their autographs upon it. Lcgsla-
tors may dispatch in a single hour bushels of
speeches which they never delivered, and tuns
of the invaluable reports of Mr. Commissioner
Isaac Newton. Or take case to which we
called attention the other day. Mr.. lie Blond
of Ohio retired into private life at the close of
the XXXlXth Congress, but his right to frank
lasts until next December and so his stamp
is now used for posting lottery circulars, issued
by firm who have been publicly denounced
as swindlers; and we know not to what other
base uses it may have come. Obscene publca-
tons, it is said, are also flooding the mails UNI
der the protection of members stamps Mr..
Randall was quite right in demanding that if
our Legislators choose thus to burden and dis
grace the PoSt-0ffice, they should do it boldly
under their proper signatures.
But the stamps after all are q small matter
IN the face of the great outrage which they
are designed TO facilitate Let Mr.. Randall
bring in bill 10 abolish ihe Thanking privi-
lcge outright, and he will have the thanks of

The Times says. with regard to the creation
by Congress of the Eastern Judicial District,
composed Of Long Island, &c:
"THE TRIBUNE is utterly wrong In ~ impression
about the bill creating new judicial district No such
hill passed by the Congress which Mr. EaynlOrd
mber: the district created and the Judge
appointed two years before he had seat Congress at
all"
Reply.-1he Times is mistaken. The act in
question bears date Feb. 25, 1SG5-several
months after Mr. Raymond's election to Con-
gess, and less than nine months Gnstead of
"twO years') before he took his seat. The
Judge was of course appointed some days later.
And we reiterate that the district was created
mainly through the influence and efforts Of
Mr.. Raymond, and with primary reference to
making his friend the Judge thereof. We
know this, because it was urged in bar of the
claims of any one else TO fair consideration as
a candidate for that most responsible position.

Two of the South German States, Bavaria
and Baden. have concluded a treaty with PruS-
sia according TO which their armies in time OF

Prussia. 1t may .be expected that the two re-

berg and IIesse- Darmstadt, will soon conclude
similar treaties
