Murder i'm Hirh Life,

The letter of our correspondent in Vienna.
published yesterday, relates the history of two
causes cvabies. which, for the time being, have
startled the community in Austria and Poland.
In the one case a young baroness posons q
rival-a young countess--with the connivance
of her victims husband, hoping to fill the place
of the victim herself This is no uncommon
incident in the story of ill-dispensed love and
criminal aspirations for its fulflment but it is
not often that II becomes the subject of court.
room scenes, with a possible termination on
the scafiold, where the parties concerned are
of the noblr order. In the courts Of France
and England and Austria and the United
States, crimes springing from this cause do not
unfrequently command the attention of judges
and juries and lawyers; but the accused us,i-
ally belong 10 the humber classes. Vice,
however. even when it assumes the hideous
form of murder, is not deadly inheritance
solely bequeathed to the poor In England
there has been the memorable case of the Earl
of Fcrrcrs. who expated his offence upon the
gallows. aud in France that of the Due de
Pra-Iin. who murdered his wife. In this coun-
try we still remember with horror, mingled,
perhaps, with surprise, the Webster and Parker
and the Colt cases. and the sad story Of Mar
garet Clarity, all deliberate enough and extra
ordinary enough to claim place among the
| copses ctse6res Of our times.
The second murder referred. TO by our
Vienna correspondent occurred lately in
Cracov. The criminal is descendant Of
one of the noblest families in Poland, whose
progenitors fought for freedom side by side
with Pulaski hundred years ago. Into this
singular case, too cowardly and brutal as IL
was. love entered az the controlling instiga-
ton of the crime. The murderer was poor
and he loved beautiful and wealthy girl, but
being without money the bars of hope were
closed against him by an incxorablc father.
To obtain the means to achieve his object he

with them in the people, and they dared not
venture for while; but, keeping up the cry,
they finally screwed their courage to the stick
ing place and made their great attempt, and
this is the result They have proved to the
nation that the President has been guilty of no
offence; has done no act that he had not full
power and authority to do; has sinned against
nothing but their party programme, and has
had the high courage TO disregard that party
programme where it was in conflict with the
interest OF the country. Such is the appear
ance impeachment will present In history.
BY the record of this trial, therefore, the
President is presented as man who took
large and statesmanlike view of our troubles
and who acted in the spirit of true patriot
with earnest loyalty to large view of the
nations necessities. By that very record he is
acquitted of all offence that the people would
punish, and all that is now to be insisted upon
is that the name of the people shall not again
be used to cover party purpose. Except in
this view it would be unimportant how the SEN
ate might vote. 1t cannot condemn the man
whom the record acquits. A vote cast for
conviction would, as between the court and
the accused, injure only the Senator who cast
it, But we have right to demand that the
State shall not be involved in the disgrace of
the Senators who are 80 regardless of honor,
OF truth, of law, of justice-so regardless of
their own characters and of common decency-
as to vote for the conviction of the Presi-
dent. Mr. Morgan and Mr.. Conkling, Sena-
tors from New York, are counted upon
as certain to vote that way. We
know not how they can reconcile such
vote to their consciences. We know
not whether conscience will have much to do
with it, but we know that If these men vote in
that way they will vote in defiance of the uni
versal sense of their constituency. New York
is against impeachment, heart and soul, man
and boy, woman and child, wherever there is
thought, reason and judgment; wherever there
is an intellect not clouded by the spirit of party
revenge or fanatical devotion to narrow
policy Mr.. Disraeli, in his speech on the
Irish Church the other day, raised the point of
the ''moral competency" of national legisla
lures to deal at all times with certain ques-
tions. He said that on great points affecting
the fundamental laws Of the country IA Par
lament was not morally competent to decide
if those who elected it had not some intima-
ton that such questions would be raised"
Let Mr.. Morgan and Mr.. Conkling consider
this. They are to determine points in our fun
damental law, and they know that since they
were elected the State has gone against the
They will see, If they rise to the height of
Disraei's idea, that when Senators are tempted
to balance between fidelity to the people and
fidelity to party. and are likely to go over on
the wrong side. their only honorable course is
to resign their places.

In yesterdays HERALD we publish a special
telegram relative to the actual condition Of
affairs In the Mexican republic. The only
thing which is not new is the only thing which
is interesting, and that is that Mexico remains
true to the character which she has not un-
justly won. Chronic revolution is as predica-
BILE of Mexico now as it has been any time
since the year 1910. Party has succeeded
party in the government of that country with
rapidity which has had no parallel in ths
history of nations. From Yturbide to Maxi
milan and Jaurez each new party has promised
the country salvation, but salvation seems
more hopeless now than ever. Macmillan, we
were told, was the only barrier in the way Of
peace and prosperity Macmillan, as we
thought and still think, was very unnecessarily
put to death but while the republic is still in
peril anarchy thrives more and more. The
government of Juarez has shown itself utterly
incompetent to grapple with the revolution,
and the presumption justified by our latest
news is that certain States in the Northwest
will secede, and either form themselves into .
separate and independent republic or seek an
nexation to the United States. Matters arc
little better so near the Mexican capital than at
Vera Cruz and La Puebla. The end oanno
be far off when rebellion is everywhere.

yesterday, by vote Of i0l to 5, passed theI
Erie Railway bill in the same shape in which
IL passed the Senate. A report was current at
Albany that compromise had been effected
between vanderbih and Drew, and il is said
that the Assembly and the lobby were heartily
disgusted with the sudden termination Of
fight that seemed to promise such rich spoils
to the camp followers. The rumor in respect TO
the scttlemAnt Of the quarrel between the rival
railroads, however, lacks confirmation. The
bill as passed is good measure, and win, ND

Important News from Abyssinia.

BY special cable telegram from London,
dated yesterday we learn that the correspond
ent of the HERALD attached to the British ex-
pedtion in Abyssinia had just announced, BY
letter and telegraph dispatches, the highly i'm
portant intelligence that Major General Ma
pier, after passing Lake Ashangi by some few
days march, ordered dash in force ON the
defensive works of Theodorus at Magdala, and
that the assault was made by British troopsi
equipped in light marching order, some short
time subsequent to the 10th of March.
Our advices from Zoulla of the I'd of April
report that the result of the movement was
then unknown, in consequence Of break
which occurred in the field telegraph near the
army post at Senate interrupting communica4
ton between the troops and the shore.
The receipt of this news will agitate England
deeply, particularly so long as the people are
uniformed as to the consequences Of the
attack. 1t is probable Napier has triumphed,
but the break in the telegraph, just at q mo-
ment of such consequence, invites doubt, to
say the least of any important success
Should he have failed or sustained decided
repulse at the hands of the negroes it may pro-
duce very decided and immediate consequences
on the fate of the Disraei- Derby Cabinet, the
Abyssinian war not having been very popular
in Great Britain at any time.

making the sales amounts to- a large sum. but
the amount that may be and no doubt Is real

of year enormous. II is well for Jay Cooke

ought to be no favoritism nor secrecy. The
gold should be sold publicly, and public an
nouncement should be made previously, and

In the HERALD of yesterday we published .
series of letters illustrative of the state Of
affairs in Germany. The Berlin and Frankfort
letters were specially interesting. The King's
birthday, which was held on Sunday, March %,
had been more than usually festive and bril-
liant. Prussia, like the rest Of Europe, has
been tickled and somewhat perplexed by ouzs
grand impeachment farce. The comparative
Indifference with which the American people
witness proceedings which would shake to ita
foundations every State in Europe they cannoe
understand. If this trial be got over peace.
fully, as it doubtless will, we shall be regarded
by them as the most wondrous people on the
face of the earth. Severe and even mercilesa
criticisms had appeared in the Berlin Journals
ON the Napoleonio pamphlet. The easAentA
cordsa1e between France and Prussia was sup1
posed to be somewhat aided by the recent visit
of Prince Napoleon to Berlin; but from the
general treatment of the Emperor's pamphlet
as well as from other causes, it was manifest
that Prussia did not.mean to court France mora
than was necessary. At Frankfort American
residents were not quite satisfied with the new,
naturalization treaty which Mr.. Bancroft had
just concluded. The elections for the Zollve!
rein, which were just going on, were giving evil
dence that the different States of Southern
Germany were not quite disposed to yield up
their rights entirely in the interest Of Prussia
American bonds were fat on the Frankfort
Bourse in consequence of the action taken by
t. g. So tbo 6oIH
in greenbacks. All over Germany prepara-
tions were going on for large emigration In
