WHAT OF THE NIGHT 2

AT no time since the hesitating, shutting
and ignominious manner in which Buchanan
dealt with the rebels in 1861, has there been
such ieverish anxiety throughout the coun-
try in regard to the acts Of the Executive,
and fear lest the country may be delivered
up to its enemies, ~ is nov felt by loyal
men everywhere. We do not have Presi-
dent like Buchanan timid and ioolishly fee
bic, but bold bad man, Desperate who is
determined and utterly reckless, whom the
people OF no class either love, trust or ad-
mire. This man has declared war upon the
representatives, Of tho people, and spurns
their power to preserve their liberties. We
cannot be insensibls to the dangers which
surround us, let our political views be what
they may.
lie has removed the only cabinet officer
who represented the will of the people and
the only man whom he feared. lie has
removed the loyal commander Of the forces
around Washington to substitute therefor q
supple tool Of his, who declared less than
year ago that the duty Of the President was,
to disperse Congress at the poin, Of the bay
onet. He has removed the loyal officer who
had charge Of the secret papers relating to
the assassination OF Lincoln and other i'm
portant papers Of tho conspiracy, and APP
pointed one OF his tools instead, lie has
removed Sheridan and Siekles, and an
nOunces his intentions to remove Pope, in
order to get control Of tho army entire. lilo
has treated the orders Of Gen. Grant with
contempt, and there is now direct conflict
Of authority between them. lie has, or IL
is well known he will, issue n general proc
lamation Of amnesty to traitors that they
may rally to his support, and has issued a
paper, goin: out Of his way therein to re-
mind tho people that he will use the army
and navy to accomplish his designs.

of London, that the great daimio. OF Japan

Accuracy Of the Herald.

One secret Of what has been called the mys
terious influence Of the HERALD Is now patent
and universally acknowledged. We allude to
the fact that no labor and no expense have
been spared to secure trustworthy correspond
ents in oil parts Of the world, aud, moreover,
that their communications are most carefully
scrutinized previous to publication. The pub
lie at large can have bus faint and imperfect
idea Of the vast, complicated and costly ma
chinery requisite for the daily supply of
authentic news. But every class OF our COM
muuity has become accustomed to rely with
implicit confidence upon the marvellous results
Of all this machinery as exhibited In toe

stood the test to which first announcements

case since the Atlantic cable has connected

Imprisonment for Debt Abolished In France.
One Of our kilograms in yesterdays HERALD
informed us that imprisonment for debt had at
last been abolished in France. The French
law. in this particular, is now substantially the
same as that Of England and of the United
States. This is hopeful sign Of the rational
and humane legislation which has begun
and is destined to prevail more and more.
The old law regarding the debtor was
barbarous in the extreme. It was found,
at an carly period, to be incompatible with
the liberal and progressive spirit Of this
country, and soon came to en- end It has long
since been abolished in England. It's evil
was seen and denounced by the first French
revolutionists. Like many other hopeful signs
Of -A s.:s.' = :. disappeared in deluge of
blood. France, which at one time in genuine
reforms promised to achieve so much, has in
reality Jagged far behind. Better late than
never. By abolishing this old and barbareus
law France has put herself abreast Of the most
advanced commercial nations of the day. Our
American philosophers, in contemplating q
trip to Paris, will have no occasion henceforth
to dread the cells of Clichy.
