too, that tho very best legal talent In Paris
has been engaged for the defence. Mean
while 1t appears that subscriptions pour In for
the Baudin memorial, and from the most unex-
pected quarters. Among the subscribers are
such names a. Berger, Dufaure, and even
Edmond About, who is no longer be-
lever either in imperialism or universal
suffrage. M. Baudin in his lifetime was
known only as democrat. But for the in
reference Of the government his name If it
could have been power at all, would have
been power only with the democrats. As it
is, the proposed memorial is q convenient
channel through which to express opposition
to the government, and legitimists and Orlean-
lists are rivalling democrats In the bulk Of
their subscriptions. One result Is thus already
gained. The opponents Of the empire are a
unit. II will be interesting to note the pro-
gress Of the trials and the progress Of the me-
mortal. AS matters now stand it Is difficult
to resist the conviction that the Emperor is
very unnecessarily aggravating the difficulties
Of his position and contributing to the success
Of his enemies. s..x-.i-----.

THE ORGANIsTs AFTER GIsANT.-The repub-
lican organists are after Grant 1t is whis-
pered that Thurlow Weed is about to purchase
the Washington whiskey ring organ, with the
object of making it the official mouthpiece of
the new administration, and the curious BIZ
ography of the old lobby fox which appeared
in the columns of that journal few days ago
gives color to the rumor. Report associates
Raymond with the venture, and his positive
denial of its truth is calculated rather to
strengthen its reliability. At all events, the
gossip has terribly alarmed Greeley, who
comes out with an open bid for the position,
and offers his Washington bureau to Grant for
all the purposes of party organ. We incline
to the belief that General Grant will he his
own organist, and that Weed, Raymond,
Greeley and all the rest Of the political ad-
venturers will be puzzled 10 End out what
tune he intends to play.

the ferry company or any one or anything
except the tide With regard to the passen-
gers getting out of the way Of danger, we viii
ask was it not in the very helpless endeavor to
get out of the way of danger that the greatest
damage was done to limb II not to lief The
passengers saw the approaching collision as
soon as the pilot, but the warning was useless,
because the ferry company allowed the boat to
be so overcrowded with people, horses and
vehicles that there was no chance Of retreat
except to be trampled, bruised and suffer frac-
tured limbs, as many Of the passengers did.
1t is no use to try and whitewash the ferry
company and put all the blame on the tide.
There must be more boats run In the morning
and evening, when the crowd Of passengers is
beyond the capacity Of the present number OF
boats, and there must be more precaution ex-
ercised in trusting the lives of the people to
inefficient hands, This is the only way to pre-
vent disasters. II the coroner's jury cannot
afford the victims in this case any redress
there is mode open to them whereby they
can help themselves, and that IL to bring civil
suits for damages against the company, each
and every one Of them, and accept no compro-
mise nor any settlement except such as an
honest jury may award them.

| The killing of Felix Larkin in the house Of .
man named Campbell, by the hand of the
latter person, on Wednesday morning, presents
no new phase in the lives or deaths of rowdy
politicians and sporting characters. We have
become familiar with such events since the
time Of the Bill Poole homicide and the popu-
lar ovation which followed it, rendered to the
however, some facts connected with the homi-
eide of Larkin that mark it as one of peculiar
ferocity. The gigantic victim was literally
cut to death by man greatly his inferior in
physical strength, whose passions, it is true,
he had provoked by his violent and offensive
conduct and still more offensive language The
facts as ascertained up to this time would
show that the murdered man was not by any
means irresponsible in the matter, and to O
great extent invited his doom. 1t is said that
he had gone out on the night in question in a
quarrelsome mood, apparently resolved to as
sault somebody or to be assaulted and pro-
yoke fight, and in pursuit of this purpose
that he had entered two saloons before calling
at Campbelrs, and in each one had picked a
quarrel and knocked down his adversary. If
this be true there can be no installing the
spirit in which he visited the restaurant of the
accused, and, after threatening to break open
the doors, was admitted doubtless more
through fear than courtesy; for it appears that
the business of the house had closed for the
night The facts viii. of course, be produced
by witnesses who saw the transaction and
participated in it; by witnesses who
are the best judges of the provocation
which led to the crime-that is to say, the
barkeeper and female cook and the two ASSOC
mfiSe. If there be anything to paliate the
murder it will probably be shown in the nature
Of the provocation and the fear of personal
| maltreatment at the hands Of his not very
welcome visitors which may have possessed
the unfortunate man who has imbued his
hands in blood, for which he must now accept
the consequences.
1t has been proved by the statement of the
police officers that Larkin and his companions
were heavily armed and that the floor of the
saloon was found strewn with pistols, knives
and clubs after the deadly ARRAY was over.
It has been said in behalf of Larkin chat he
was o very amiable and good-natured fellow
even in his cups. 1t is not very good evil
dence, let us say, of amiability of character to
roam through the streets all night armed with
loaded pistols; to get into three fights, and the
last fatal one. However, it is to he hoped
that the Investigation viii be so impartially
conducted as to throw full light upon this
bloody transaction and let the public know
how far the accused was goaded, either by
irritation or by fear of his life into committing
the dreadful deed. But in any case it is
almost too much to hope that bloody collisions
between parties Of the class to which the
actors in this affair belong can be prevented
as long as every one of them goes armed with
the threefold source OF misunderstanding,
uncomfortable passion and deadly weapons.

The Verde, in the Fulton Ferry Case.

The Verdict In the Fulton Ferry Cnsc.
We publish in another column a communi-
cation from the foreman of the coroners jury
in the case of the late Fulton ferry disaster on
the 14th instant. by which the boy George
Brewer lost his life and so many people were
injured. The writer justifes the verdict upon
the ground that The testimony showed that the
tide alone was the cause of the fatal collision,
and that had the passengers obeyed the call
from the pilot deck 10 stand back when the
collision was about to take place there would
have been nobody hurt The jury, he says,
found nothing In the evidence upon which to
rebulxe the company. II was all the fault Of
the tide. Now, we viii answer this conclusion
by asking few questions. How did IL hap
pen that while at least ten boats equally, or
nearly equally, filed with passengers had
crossed the ferry within the same hour and in
the same condition Of the tide no accident oc-
Cured except in this instance? Did the tide
just at that moment conspire against an unskil-
full half-hedged pilot and let tho competent, reg
ular pilot escapep How happens il that while
the tide runs just as strong and is in precisely
the same stage at that hour Of the morning al
least once every month, and that the boats are
quite as crowded about that time, no such
accident as this has occurred beforeS IL /.
remarkable that the collision should have hap
pened under these circumstances when al
incompetent man was at the wheel, and ye
the jury could not find IL in their hearts to blam,

No city in America or in Europe offers at
this moment musical entertainments superior
to those which may be enjoyed in New York.
The works of the great classical composers
can nowhere else be studied to better advan-
tage At the concerts and rehearsals of the
Philharmonic Society each grand symphony
can be heard four times. An opportunity is
thus afforded for professional and amateur
musicians to familiarize themselves with the
elaborate harmonies of the acknowledged
masters in music.
An orchestra of one hundred performers,
under the baton of Herr Carl Bergman, will
give their third rendering of Beethoven's
'Sinfonia Eroica," two parts Of Hector
Berlioz's Symphonic Fantastique" and the
overture to Gade's Hamlet" at the Academy
Of Music this afternoon at half-past two
o'clock. On this occasion our favorite con-
tralto, Miss Adelaide Phillips, makes her
first appearance since her return from Europe.
We know that she will be heartily welcomed.
The first concert will follow on Saturday
evening at eight o'clock. We would urge our
citizens to avail themselves of the musical repast
offered by the Philharmonic Society. For ten
dollars eighteen rehearsal and six concert
tickets can be procured. As the rehearsals
occur early in the afternoon ladies can 60
unattended, aud they should be the most
cordial supporters of the society in this their
twenty seventh season.

JEFF DAVIS IN A NEW RoLE.-It is'known
that Jeff Davis has professed to be pious for
some time past and it is said his piety
increased in proportion to the waning fortunes
of the rebel cause. We now begin to see the
fruits Of his Scripture studies. He has been
lecturing in England on Jerusalem, and is
very anxious to have that ancient city ex-
pIored. He fattered his audience by saying
that Englishmen were peculiarly fitted for the
task Of exploring Jerusalem, but we do not
know why they are SO. The rebel chief is
preparing to become an Englishman, perhaps,
and may be trying to lecture himself into the
heart Of John Bull. The British had great
regard for him at one time, but, he being
fallen hero, their affection has probably
declined. Having sympathized with him in
his 'fost cause" they might make up purse
to send him to Jerusalem, there to end his
days and atone for his sins at the foot of the
Holy Sepulchre.
