Punch's cartoons would be Garabaldi shout
ing "Peace, universal peace' to the Geneva
conventionists, and pointing his drawn
sword towards Rome. The delegates were
largely those discontents who gather from all
quarters of Europe and rise to the surface
only when there is prospect of a storm.
The whole world has laughed at the want of
connection between Napoleon's celebrated
"The Empire is peace" and the events that
almost Immediately followed. The proceed
iDgs of the Peace Congress show even less
consistency. On the first day of the meeting
of these peace men there was a row among
themselves. Then followed a proposition to
inaugurate an era of universal peace by a re-
vival of 'the principles" of 1848, by an inn
mediate march upon Rome to be followed by
general and vigorous war against the despo-
tisms of Europe and the whole world. The
proceedings throughout are characterized by
the reports as tumultuous. On the second
day of the session there was another row;
then there was a conflict with the inhabitants
of Geneva; more contentious in the Conven-
ton, the radical "Reds" evidently getting the
better of the conservative "Blues;" renewed
disturbances; and the report records the
lamentable fact that "the Congress separated
without results"
To be sure, nobody was hurt; but, as Sheri-
dan said, when careless servant threw down
pile of dinner-plates, and apologized because
none of them were broken-"Was all this -
fuss then made for nothing Y'' Perhaps, and
perhaps not. Only the Peace Congress adds
one more to the mass of congresses and con-
ferences, industrial and political, which have
assembled with the avowed intention of estab-
fishing an universal Utopia, and have only
passed resolutions and voted supplies.

principle which was much more profitable to
the progress of Liberalism than the principles
protested by the statesmen of the old school.
But while aspiring at the honor of being called
a Liberal, he has hardly missed an occasion to
violate his own principles. We need not dwell
at length on his expedition against the Next
can Republic, or ON the long occupation of the
city of Rome by French troops, or his desire
stealthily to obtain territory from Prussia.
All these moves are still in the remembrance
of our readers.
In Italy, Napoleon has for the present
carried his point Garibaldi is prisoner, his
volunteers have suppressed, riot in Florence
has been promptly dispersed. But this is not
the end of the Garibaldian movement. The
Italian people smart under the affront which
France has offered to them. They only need
Bismark to destroy their disgraceful servitude
to France; and the greater the arrogant claims
of France are, the sooner the Italian people
will learn to spurn them.

Universal Utopia.

From the ~ Y. World.
The readers of newspapers in both hemi-
spheres must have been struck with the cpl
demic of congresses, conferences, and conven-
tions, religious, social, and political, that
have been held this year-especially in Eu-
rope. OF these, the first of note was the
great council Of bishops assembled at Rome,
which has since been duplicated by the Pan
Anglican Council of Protestant Episcopal
Bishops now in session in Lambeth Palaces
The WOrkingmen's Congress, at Chicago, has
been followed by the International Labor Con-
gress at Lausanne. The British Association
for the Advancement of Science has met at
Dundee, and has INDUCED in what the Lon
don ReOietO irreverently calls it's "usual semi
scientific gabble." The American Social
Science Congress, which met in one of the
closets in Cooper Institute, Fourth of July
afternoon, not having succeeded in revolu-
tionizing society, and introducing a general
belief in FOurierism, has turned the work
over to Social Science Convention, interna-
tional of course, which is to be held in Eng
land some time this autumn. There are also
to be in Great Britain, shortly, an Interna-
tional Law Convention, and Sanitary Con-
vention. Smaller convocations, like that of
the Calvinists at Amsterdam, and the con-
ference Of Catholics at Innspruck, have also
excited monetary attention. Last of all Cat
presently we have been called upon to report
the proceedings of the Peace Congress at
Geneva.
The promptings for some of these assem-
blages have been, first, the Paris Exposition,
which gave delegates an opportunity to kill
two birds with one stone-to see the fine things
shown in Paris, and to hear the fine things
said in sour" convention; and, second, the
almost universal feeling among certain classes
of uneasiness and unrest, occasioned, in this
country, by causes too obvious to need re-
hearsal, and in Europe by the unsettled affairs
between certain Governments, and more, per-
haps, by the prospect of more complications
sure to come.
The strictly religious councils, especially
those at Rome and in England, have their
special objects, of which we say nothing now;
but the mass of the other conventions and
congresses, in spite of their formidable names,
and show OF delegates, and gigantic "oblects,"
and immense intentions, are, after all, only
on a larger scale, so many Brick Lane Branch
Associations, the main business of which, ac-
cording to the elder Weller, was to "pass
resolutions and vote supplies" And of all
| of these associations, none has presented
| more ludicrous spectacle than the Peace Con-
| gress which sat, and sat, as 1t were, on hor-
! nets nest, at Geneva. This is to be regretted,
because the sympathies of good men every
where are, or ought to be, with the 'lOyers

appointed by the Governor. Justice lies at
the root Of civil society; and any Common
wealth that cannot devise way of,preventing
the judges Of even a single district from being
appointed by the criminal classes witt which
they have to DEAL lacks the very first element
of a true selfgovernment. We believe that
the State has vitality enough to throw of the
distempers which weaken and deform her;
but it can be only by the use of means. No
miracle will be worked in her favor. And it
behooves every good citizen to help in the
cure, as he certainly suffers by the disease,
and may perish by it. She has suffered sorely
from political quackery, and can only be re-
stored to normal strength and beauty by find
cal health.

RADICAL BRUTALITY.

The Chicago Tribune, Radical, pub
fishes a report of committee of the
Illinois Legislature, appointed to investi.
gate the condition and management Of
the Insane Asylum of that State. The
report would occupy between thirty and
forty columns of this paper. The conn
mittee have taken testimony which
shows that the institution has been most
horribly managed The treatment of
patients has been brutal almost beyond
belief Men and women have been con-
fined in irons in dark cells, and starved
until they became utterly helpless The
favorite instruments of punishment have
been the gag, the bludgeon, and the lash
recognized weapons of the rufian, and
relics of medieval barbarism. The
Superintendent, it is said, has permitted
these outrages, and has kept in confine-
ment and subject to these tortures, per,
sons who were perfectly sane, whose alb
sence and silence were desired by their
relatives Such is the treatment of these
helpless, demented creatures, and even
some who are sane, by Radical Super
intendent and his Radical employees in

TEE MEMPHIS CONTEMPT CASE.

On Thursday morning, the editors of
the Avalanche appeared in court, and
moved to quash the attachment against
them, by counsel, as follows:
Defendants M. c. Galloway and w. H.
Rhes, being personally in court, move by
their counsel that the attachment issued
against them be quashed and they dis
charged from arrest, upon the following
grounds:
LIST. Because the attachment and charge
upon which it is based does not come under
any provisions of the law of the State of
Tennessee authorizing the issuing of at
tachments for contempt of court.
"2d. Because the alleged article, which
forms the charge against the defendants,
was not published in the presence of the
court, nor until three days after the orders
to which it refers were made.
"2d. Because section 19 of the bill of
rights of the constitution of the State of
Tennessee provides, That the printing
presses shall be free to every person who
undertakes to examine the proceedings of
the Legislature or of any branch or officer
Of government, and no law shall ever be
AAddN W ACShl lAEhb AuCItOig CbCs
and the defendants claim that said section
protects them from any arrest for contempt
upon the charge in this cause and for
divers other good and sufficient reasons"
Mr. Beecher, counsel for defendants,
argued the motion at some length.
Judge Hunter indicated that the pro-
vision under which the defendants had
been brought before the Court, was sub
section six, of section 4l06, of the Code,
which gives the several courts Of the
State the power to issue attachments
and infict punishments for contempt of
court, for any act or omission declared
a contempt by Law"
Col Ed Yerger followed Mr. Beecher
for the defense, and at the close of his
argument the further consideration of
the case was postponed until to-day,
Saturday.
The section Of the Code referred to by
Hunter gives no authority for the arrest.
1t states what acts are in law punishable
as contempts, and adds, "any other act
or omission declared contempt by
law" There is no law declaring that
newspaper editor is guilty of contempt
when "he undertakes to examine the
proceedings of" a court There being
no such law, the arrest by order of
Judge Hunter is wanton and criminal
usurpation of authority not conferred
upon him by his Office; and if there
were such law, it would be null and
void, because in conflict with the nine
teenth section of the bill of rights.
We trust the editors of the AUaldnche
will take steps to give this judicial
limb Of the law some lessons in that
science in which he is evidently wofully
deficient ...

A NEW method of steam propulsion is
spoken of as applied to steamboats,. A
number of paddles arranged on each side,
and are made to work similar to the man
ner in which an Indian uses his paddle in
propelling canoe. Other features in its
favor are that the machinery is very sim
pie, takes up but little room, and needs no
large wheel-house-the paddles when in
motion rising scarcely above the deck. The
inventor, Mr.. S. ID. Merritt, of Mount
Morris, Michigan, feels confident that q

There has been great depression in this
branch for some years, but especially for
the last six or eight months, and business
has not been so dull for the last twenty
years as it is now. Many thousands Of
men are out of employment, and large
numbers call daily at the manufactures
seeking work. Firms which formerly EN-.
ployed from 200 to 300 men now employ
only from twenty to thirty, and the de-
crease in the quantity of work done is even
greater than these figures indicate.

Weak houses, that have been straining

authority in matters pertaining to Its
speciality, declares that the suspensions OF
