THE WH.LEN TRIAL.

The trial of Whalon for The assassination of
Darcy Niece has terminated in the prisoners
conviction The circumst.mtml evidence against
Whalen tended to show that he WAS a Fenian;
that he had on several occasions, at his home
and elsewhere, made private threats to Kill
! McGec, on account of his anti-Fcnian course
and speeches; that he was in the habit of talk
ing with intimate Fenilu friends who sympa-
tined with his purpose, in manner that IN
dcatcd mmdcrous intent against Mc6ee !:
that he lay IN wait with two companions from
the evening until two o'clock on the morning
Of the murder in the gallery and entrance
hall of the Parliament House, where Mcice
was speaking, during which time he attracted
the attention OF spectator III the gallery by nj
dulgng in threatening gestures toward McGee,
and by a pistol projecting from his pocIict that
when arrested on the evening after the muir
der pistol was found upon him, OF which
one barrel had been recently discharged and
reloaded, while The other five contained old
loads and that the ball which killed Mcl'cc
J correspondent in SIZE with those IN the other
cartridges with which Whalcn's pistol WAS
found loaded. There appears to have been no
attempt to prove an aGti; on the contrary,
Whalcn inquired. when arrested, why they
should suspect him for being at the Parliament
House that night, since he was in the habit OF
being there. The direct evidence was confined
to one witness, Lacroix, who swOrc that he
saw Whacn fire the fatal shot. Finally, three
detectives swear to having overheard Whalcn,
in a conversation with Doyle, a prisoner i'll an
adjacent cell, rccklcssly and even boastinGly
declare that he had killed Niece.
To believe in the innocence of Whalen, there
fore, we must assume the perjury of very
large number OF persons. Yet the crime, il
committed by Whalcn, undoubtedly had no
other than political motive 1t was Grim
inal and wholly unjustiliablo mode of obtaining
redress for the wrongs of IA country, whose
wrongs I'm the Judgment even of her English
opprcssors sadly need redress, and involve
crmDalty on the part OF her British rulers as
deep and reckless and far moro destructive
than the crime of Whalen. The young prisoner
is doubtless an enthusiast, who, il tho laws OF
England had provided for his proper education,
would have found vent for his political hostil-
ity in mOlo legitimate manner. He believed
that Darcy Niece had, for pelf and promotion,
betrayed the interests of Ireland and rcpudated
the cause OF his countrymen. He saw IN Me-
Gees course not only political error but treachor-
Gus bascness and ingratitudc, and no brought
death to himself and disgrace to his cause by
installing ntamy for patriotism and assasslna-
ton for justice.

From the communication Of the Citizens As
sociatiOn, which is printed in another column
it appears that from July I, 1867, to July l. 1863
Street Commissioner Geo. ". Mclean spent in
the alleged repairing of the public wharyes and
piers the sum of S77,SS3 70. OF this sum,
96,7Oj So were expended for lumber, S3,lS1 q
for spikes and $6799j % for wOrlmens wages
Thus it appears that it requires gil worth of
labor TO lay one dollars worth Of planking, and
as the pay of the worlmen is from 80 80 to 80
per day, il requires four men working whole
day to lay one dollars worth of timber. The
record of the Commissioner also shows that
during the month in which political campaigns
are lveliest, the force of men is largest and
the least work is done. In July 1867, Mr.
Mclean employed 81 men, who laid 10000 feet
Of planling on the piers; in October he had l54
men, who laid n little more than G,OOO feet
The city was also charged with 1883 feet OF
lumber, while an inspection proved that only
81 800 feet had been used. There Is another
fact in connection with the supply of lumber
which should be noted, and this is, that while
MIR. Mclean has been paying on behalf OF the
city S35 and S37 80 per thousand feet, beside
carriage of 81 per thousand feet for delivery,
the same kind of lumber was sold in the mar
ket during the whole of the time mentioned
above for s25 per thousand feet and delivered
free of carriage.
1t also appears from the communication OF
the Association "tbat private parties who own
piers in this city have the work of repairing
" them done in proper manner by competent
" dock builders, at the rate, for labor, OF less
than $40 for every thousand feet OF lumber
laid on the piers,' but Mr.. Mclean
pays ont the city money at the rate
of 93j5 for labor in laying every thousand
feet of lumber. The other charges made
by tho Association arc equally startling
and we trust they eau be explained satisiac-
torly to or taxpayers by Mr.. Geo. w. Mclean.
lie has promised TO do it, and it is to be hoped
he will keep his word better than Mr.. OGor-
man has. Mr. Mclean is the candidate of
Tammauy for the next Mayor of this city.

Our new Minister to Great Britain may not
have. rs The London Times thinks, carte
blanche to settle the Alabama case; but that
this case will engage his attention more prom
nently than any other diplomatic subject no
one doubts The Times is dcslrous OF an early
settlement and seems to admit the responsible
ity of England and her duty of paying an AIDE
quate naturalization. The English papers III
general talk sensibly on The subject, and are
much more anxious to be on good terms with
the United States than they were during the
war; Although we cannot say that the Amer-
can people have changed their opinion concern
ing the conduct of England in our late war, yet
the pcaceable settlement OF our difficulties Is a
general desire of our people 10 less than of the
English, and we sincerely hope our new Min
lister may he able to realize the expectations Of
hoth countries

al others who desire to secure patrons ana
customers in New York City, as well as III all
parts of the country, will find II to thelr own
manifest and great advantage to advertise III
TIE TRIBUNE as n portion OF Their regular
legitimate EXPENSES. But comparatively few of
our American manufacturers have learned the
benefits of advertising their goods and wares,
while importers, and those who sell imported
goods, reap rich returns from their investments
IN advertising. Our manufacturers fully un-
dcrstand the principles of protecting American
industry, but they must learn the advantages
of letting the American people know why
American goods should have the preference
and where they can be bought.
As a brilliant instance of the value OF adVer-
Using, B0nner's Ledger is probably the ocSV
living example, Mr.. Bonner having been one
of the first TO understand the wisdom OF syste-
matte expenditure, and having the pluck to put
his money where it would bring him returns.
As late examples of the prolitableness OF ad-
ycrtisipg American manufactures, we refer 10
the success of the American Watch Company
ot Waltham, Mass, and the National Natch
Company at Elgin, Illinois. With proper cX-
Dcndture in newspapers of large cnculatlon'
the same results can be realized in all branches
Of business. An advertisement, kept before the
public, is perpetual sign and perpetual IN
vitation to customers, and the more legitimate
the business the better Will advertising pay.

The circulation Of THE TRIBUNE is far larger
thnn that of any other newspaper, and is dis
tributed over a larger territory. Advertise
ments inserted in each of our editions will
reach sol, 900 actual subscribers, and, as each
paper is read by five persons on an average,
every advertisement is placed before 100000
readers. By no other mode can business men
reach so many first-class customers, for TIE
TRIBUNE circulates among the most enterpris-
ing intelligent, and wealthy classes. For SOS
an advertisement of ten lines is placed before
100000 heads of families in every State and
Territory, as well as in foreign countries For
$50 an entire column OF The TRIBUNE is at
the disposal of advertisers, while the cost of
sending 100000 circulars of the smallest dimen-
sions would be over $1,000. This illustrates

According to The PaH Nal Gd:ette, the
" best-informcd men, in every capital in Europe
believe that great war in Europe is imminent,
aud likely to break out before the end of the
present year. We find that the best-informed
"men" in Europe have as little claim TO infal-
lbility rs tho reliable gentleman and the

and, as regards the war question in Europe,
we are decidedly OF the opinion that the best
informed men are mistaken and that there
will be no war.

Yesterday was stormy day in the revolu-

the passage of a resolution declaring ineligible

Hungary has now its own ministers, but,
alas! they are no KOssuths. The article which
we give this morning, from a liberal paper
published in Vienna, shows that an American
citizen, without, it appears, any cause what
ever, was treated by the civil authorities in
Hungary in a most outrageous manner. The
Minister of Justice already acknowledges his
blunder and offers an naturalization in
money; but the American refuses this, and in
sists on full redress.
