army, M and Gen. Roger A. Pryor Of the Confod-
crate army, and Mr. Benjamin Wood of this
city as guilty of subornatiOn to perjury Mr..
Wood may speak for himself. we do not like
his course, but we viii do him the justice of
believing that these stories are false. Because
man Is a Democrat he is not necessarily scoun-
drel As for Gen. Taylor he is said to be IN
the South somewhere, trying to earn living.
Mr.. Pryor is member of the New-fork bar,
who seems to have retired into the absolute Sc
olusion of his profession. These men were
Rebels but, because they were Rebels, are not.
necessarily, petty knaves. Mr.. Pryor publishes
an affidavit denying, as explicitly as words will
permit, tho truth of the charges, so far as he is
concerned. We shall ask better evidence than
what we have read before believing that either
Taylo, Wood, or Pryor are perjurers.
In the mean time. the whole business Is
nasty, and we wish there was an end OF it.

or set of men can bear CHE weight OF the
smallest State without tottG.ng under the

had heroes-men who. far in advance of thelr
fellows have electrified the nation by a sli;sie
word Of truth, but we beg Mr.. Carlyle to remem'
Der chat these were heroes among free men, not
heroes among slaves, and that they were great
because they sought to raise the ignorant and the

Keeping million of slaves to their work.
Here in America where the people have for
seventy years proved to the people of all other
lands that Democracy, with all its evils, is
better for Man than Royalty with all its bless
ings, we read with more sorrow than anger
these words of scorn and bitterness. There is,
indeed, no cause for anger, for nothing that
Thomas Carlyle can say can lessen or
postpone the triumph Of the rights
of tho people; but cause for sorrow there
is. for this is great mind that
seeks TO bar the progress of humanity, and
taunts his race with its inborn unftness to
govern itself, its Heaven-intendcd Slavery. 1t
is blind Samson who comes forth to combat
with tho multitudes of mankind, not blind
alone, but shORn of his strength All the ge-
mus OF Carlyle cannot avail him in this
struggle, for lie carries banner on which
the finger OF God has written defeat, and
wars against manhood itself. But when we
think how stROng he might have been as an
ally, whcais so powerless as a foe; how much
he might have done to guide to noble ends the
revolution he vainly seeks to prevent, who that
honors genius can fail TO pity its perversiOn.

Telegraphs have of late been extended in all
parts Of the civilized world with marvellous rapid
ity. The total length Of the telegraphic lines of
the world was, according to German statistician,
at the beginning of the past year, about $4,000
German 100000 Englisk) miles, of which II, 1925
were in the United States, 6,062 in Germany 4,01G
in Russia, 8,9OS in France and 3,4S4 in Great
Britain and Ireland. The Government of Prussia
always intent upon perfecting every department
of civil administration, has just officially an
nounced that twill extend the telegraphic system
to every town with population of 1900. Thus
the Prussians will have better telegraphic
facilities than any other nation of the world.
New-York tribune., 1867-08-16

The Moniteur asserts that the notorious speech
made by Gen. Dumont to the French legion in
Rome is apocryphal; but the assertions of the
Moniteur have, Of late, been received with con-
siderable discount. Its emphatic denial that
any French "note" had been sent to Berlin on
the North Schleswig question turns out to be
true only in so far as it was no note" but a
dispatch" that was sent. There is no doubt
that Gen. Dumont made remarkable speech
to the French legion in Rome, which has
opened the eyes of thousands of Italians as to
the dishonest manner in which the French
Government executes the September Con-
vention. The feeling in Italy against France
is very bitter, and is therefore a dangerous
temptation for eminent statesmen in Europe to
bring about an anti-Freneh alliance.

His Imperial Majesty, the Grand Turk, has
safely completed his journey through Western
Europe, and reached his capital. He has
already announced that the result of his jour
ney will be the opening of an era of reforms
and general progress. The first act of the new
era is the refusal of the Turkish Government
to consent to the proposal of the Christian
Powers for an investigation of the shocking
condition of Crete. 1t is to be hoped that the
proposed investigation will now be made with
out Turkish consent.

MODERN KNIGHTS ERRANT.

In the old chivalric days when feats OF arms
were the chief glory of man, and the sum OF all
genteel amusements was comprised in the sports
Of the chase and the tourney, the singing OF
minstrels and the love of fair women, a knight
was held in but slight esteem until he had
cried his lance on many distant field, and dis
played his proves before the admiring eyes of
the beauties Of many far Off lands. Gallant
chevalicrs then armed themselves in cumbrous
mail and rode forth in search Of cOmbats and
adventures. When they came to great city
they sounded notes Of defiance, and called upon
all good knights to ride forth and contend
with them for the credit of their country and
the glory of their mistress. Kings and mobiles
put on their best array and went out to see the
mimic battle, and the smiles of the fair and
the plandits of the brave rewarded the victors.
Times have changed a little since then.
There are no more jousts, except when few
of the crazy chivalry of the South have tilt
at mufiin-rings; and probably we shall hear no
more of even those gallaDt amusementS since
the last exercise of the kind at ST. Louis was
so cruelty parodied by the negro Ministries.
But the thirst for manly contests Is still
strong. The prize ring, thank heaven, is not
the sole remaining relic of the knightly lists.
Iyanhoc and the Templar have left better
representatives than vulgar bruiserS, and tho
gallant esquires of the middle ages have not
degeneratcd into brawing bottle holders. The
true successor of the old tourney field is the
base ball ground. The true progeny OF
the ancient knights whose bones are dust,
whose swords are rust, whose souls
are with the Saints We trust, are
the bold "fcldors" and batsmeD, the "long-
"stops," and the pitchers whose friendly
riyaship sets the clubs a-gog and fills the
newspaper columns with records Of glory.
The modern knight equps himself not with
cuirass and grcavcs, but with canvas shoes and
a linen cap. His lance is a bat. His reward
alas! for the prosaic truths not the smile
of the queen of beauty, but Il compliment from
the reporters.
And is there, seriously, any very awful
descent from jOusting to baseball Is 1t so
much more honorable to knock man OF his
horse with long pole than to strike good
blow at q flying ball : As an exercise of phys
ical yigor and agility we dare say the modern
pastme is better than the ancient one, and
considering how often those old knights used
to be carried out of the lists with broken
neck or q hole through the body, there can be
little question that our national game is vastly
more wholesome and improving than the Ia
vorite sport of our ancestors. IL the gay and
gentle spectators could only be brought back;
if the waving of cambric handkerchiefs, the
nuttering of bright ribbons, the smiles OF pretty
womon the soft applause of delicate hands,
might only cheer on the contest; if we might
be relieved from the rough Outcries OF a
betting mob, and the perpetual danger OF
free fight at the close, our ball-felds would
present as brilliant and as grateful q scene as
any recorded in medieval romances.

The Convention last evening finished the
consideration of the article relating to town
and county officers, leaving it substantially as
it stands in the present Constitution, with the
important exception that the Board of Super
visors is to have legislative powers and ex-
elusive control of local matters. The Legisla-
ture is thus prevented from dealing with other
than general laws. An amendment was adopted
leaving it with the Legislature to decide
aDpOinted.
